Tho Outlook Tor COmbAnC0 II Anything

In the Chicago Tribune we find in one
column a vigorous denunciation of Tho
diabolical trust com bines, and in an
other this paragraphs:
"Within the last few weeks there hos been q
sugar stocks thirty-tive in whisky, fifteen in

Naturally the outlook for trusts and

A trust is formed to limit dome site
competition, but what is tho sense of
limiting domestic competition when q

Trusts flourish most when the law,

interlopers. "Protected' on that side,
the monopolists organize n trust to con-

These so-called industrial stocks are
in fact trust stocks, stocks in compa-

graded and rolled it. There were eight
boys, and they owned the court by
turns, afternoon about; sometimes in
viting girls to play with them, and
sometimes having only ''stag party"
Boys are not all alike in this latter,
you know; some boys like to include
girls in their games. and some think.
and even say, that girls spoil the fun.
But girls. 1 fancy, are all pretty much
alike in preferriug to play with boys;
boys confcssedly add vigor aud interest
to play-even ono boy, even a small
one!
So it was quito an object of ambition
with the Edgemont girls to play on the
new tennis court. and none was more
covetous OF the honor than Eleanor
Barry, or 'Nellie Bly," as she was
known, when balls were flying. But
Nell was not aDked as often as some
poorer players, which was somber

I have always thought it was because
there was a certain spirit of ''crow'' in
Nell; and the younger people are, the
more they resent crow. She was hand

''Well, Friday, then; let's go Friday"
But some bird of the air had vvhis-

:tnMerr in Mcnt Diet.

The evils of meat diet are being ap- preciated by many high liyers in cities, and these are being counteracted partly by the wealthy in adding more fruits and vegetables to their tables during the winter. The cheapness of meat and peculiar craving which the system seems to have for meat have gradually made it common for city people to live almost entirely off meat in the winter months. Meat IS eaten three times q day in quantities, and the excessive use of such diet is that rheumatic and gout tempcraments are acquired. These temperamcnts are on the increase, and they are largely due to the excessive use of meat-Pittsburg Dispatch.

An Inea for 2 Cnurch socIabIo.

An elaborate function has been ar ranged in neishboriug city ina "Welsh afternoon" to be held in some church parlOrs. A woman who was in Wales in September during the Eisteddfod, the annual national festival, was so delight cd with the picturesque effect Of the danes and maidens in their chimney pot hats, long capes and scant skirts that she saw charming possibilities for the future among her pretty friends at home. She took notes, and the forth coming Welsh afternoon will be the re- suit.
 A fair face seems additionally fair in the quaint costume of Welsh beauty, and a Welsh interior, with the odd presses and chairs, the curious spinning wheel and the dame and her daughters, each with theinevitable knitting, makes cozy and attractive picture. Her Point of View in New York Times.

The Widow of Composer schumann.

Clara Schumann, the widow of the composer, is said to be in failing health. Robert Schuma@n fell in love with her when she was but thirteen years of age, She was already on the concert stage, and, with her maiden name of Clara Wieck, had won a reputation as d piarist. Schumann was lawyers clerk, but studied music with his in- amOrata's father, and after seven years of courtship won his wife. It was not until after his marriage that his wife succeeded in inducing him to attempt musical composition. Since his death his widow has devoted herself to inter- preting his works.

Well Fitting Indcrmcnr.

One of the daily trials of the dress maker is iO make a dress fit over i'll fit- ting uujerclotaes. No woman need ex- pect handsome setting corsage without she dresses with that effect in view. By paying a reasonable sum, well made and well fitting underwear in silk, cambric or muslin may be procured. From the unlcryest to the dress waist each article should fit smOothly-neither tightly, so as tO soon wear out. nor so loosely as for the wearer to be apparently lost in bag.

The present fashion able slender appearance is better given by wearing yolses on all underskirts and buttoning them tO the edge of the corset. AS there are long, medium and short waisted corsets nowadays, every figure may be suited. Stocking supporters are strongly urged in place of garters. .Ex- change.

 Ordained as Ministers.
 Rev. Jeanette Olmstead, on Oct. F, was ordained to the Congregational ministry in Gustavus, O. She was slready well known there as preacher. People fOckel into town from every farm and hamlet, and the church was crowded. A council had been called to examine the candidate, and there was a goodly gathering of ministers and lay delegates, among whom were five wom- en All sorts of questions were put to ,jlss Olmstead, and well answered, and the council unanimously voted to or dain her. Rev. Anna II. Shaw preached the ordination sermon from Acts xvi, 19. The ordination prayer, by Rev Mir. Hersey, of Ashtabula, O., was closed by the laying on of hands on the head of the candidate by Rev. Anna Shaw and Rev Messrs. Hersey, Craft and w. B. Olmstead, Miss Olmstead's brother, who then administered the charge to the young pastor. Rev. MT. King, in be- half of the conference, extended the right hand of fellowship, Rev. Mir. Craft, of Jefferson, gave the charge to the congregation, and the exercises closed with the bonediction by the newly ordained minister.
 Rev. Mary T. Whitney, of North Cam bridge, has accepted call to become pastor of the Second Unitarian society at West Someryille, Mass. Mrs. Whit ney graduated from St. Lawrence uni versity, Canton, N. Y., and engaged for time in teaching. In 1885 she preached her first sermon.

The Focv Not Witbout His Uses

Isn't it about time that some one at tempted defense of the "old fogy" In these days there is no one more decried. He is popularly supposed to block the wheels of enterprise, to stand in the way of progress, and nearly every association has two or three of these people whom the members would gladly throw over board if they could. The odd thing about all this is the fact that the "ol! fogy" has usually been one of the creators of the very body which seeks to be rid of him. In the beginning he was indefati- gable; he labored long and earnestly to procure funds, and was at considerable personal sacrifice to put thio or that in- stitution on its feet.

For the Toilet Table.

When you need any more cold cream ask your druggist to prepare you some in little jar, adding zinc and tincture of benzoin to it, and thinning it little with rosewater until quite soft. This makes most delightful preparation quite reasonable, six ounces costing only thlrty.fve cents, and while preserving all the emollient properties of ordinary cold cream is rendered more beneficial by the healing properties of zinc and the softening and whitening ones of benzoin.

What Platforms Are For.

A weather beaten American citizen stood on the platform of railroad coach while the train was speeding along at the rate of fifty miles per hour.
 Cant stand on the platform, shout ed the conductor.
 What are platforms for, anyhow" asked the man.
 Platforms are not made to stand on; they are made to get in on" replied the conductor.
 This is the story with which Repre- sentative Allen, of Missouri, illustrates the frailty of political platforms. Wash ington Cor. Omaha WOrld-Herald.
 A Very Valuable Diamond.
 A wonderful diamond is now being cut in Antwerp, which is said to be the second largest in the world. At present it weighs t7i carats, but when properly cut it will be reduced to 214 carats.

HARRISON AGAIN IN 1890.
Two Indiana Editors and Politicians Agree
That He IL In tho Race.

WASHINGTON. June 5.-Two distinguished
and well-informed Indiana politicians are in
Washington to-day. and each OF Thorn has
something to say about the movement OF the
Republicans to renominate BENJAMIN Harrison
in 1896. One OF these pilgrims is John c. New.
the Republican editor who has just retired
from the Office Of Consul-General to London.
and the other is Samuel B. Morss. tho Demo-
cratic editor who is about to assume the duties
OF the Con sui Gen eralship to Paris. Strangely.
though. these usually antagonist political
leaders agree In the belief that Harrison is
more than possibility for 1906 On this point
Col New said:
II don't know what Con. Harrison's feel
ings are. as have not seen him since q few
days after the Minneapolis Convention. The
Indiana Representatives have looked to Gen.
Harrison as their leader since the death OF
Oliver P. Morton. ana they would undoubted-
ly like to see him nominated in 1896. His Ad-
ministration was one OF the cleanest and best
the country ever had. For that reason he
would mako q strong candidate"
Editor Morss has different opinion Of Mr..
Harrison from that Of his friend Col New. but
he is Just as confident that the ex- President is
in the race. Mr.. Morss. in answer to q ques-
ton whether Gen. Harrison will be q candi-
date for reelection. said:
Il believe he expects to be nominated and
elected In 1SSo- Inc Republican leaders in
Indiana are undoubtedly working to that end
now. and will have a very compact organiza-
ton when the Convention meets. My opinion
is that ex-Speaker Reed will be the Republican
nominee In 1896 The Republican party is a
party Of force and aggression. and Reed is the
most prominent representative and m ost forci-
BILE leader in TIE party. He is more capable Of
man know Of. and for that reason think he
will be the choice. Republicans generally
in Indiana. aside from the local interest in ex-
President Harrison. there is q general senti-
ment in favor OF Reed. regard him as the
most dangerous man to the Democracy that
the Republicans could nominate"
