THE CHURCHES IN DANGER.
A FirebuE In Dover Is Trying to Burn
 Them All.

DOVER, N. H., Aug 22 There was a con certed effort here to burn the churches of this city. The Belknap church was set on fire back of the door and again in the tow CT, and although the firemen worked hard and confined the fire there the church was greatly damaged. Later fire was discov- Ered in the cellar of the First Parish church, which was extinguished without damage.
 It was discovered that boxes of brush wood had been piled in the doorway of the Advent church and fired. but the fire went out It was also discovered that rubbish had been piled beside St. Johns Methodist church, but had not been fired. People living near the Broadway Baptist church saw a man getting in the window and gave the alarm. when he ran away.
 Assistant Engineer Webster fsund pile of rubbish in the Central Avenue Baptist church cellar and ordered it removed. It is believed that il was piled there by the party who set the other fires. Mir. Webster found the door of St. Johns Methodist church open and lot of stufT piled up in the cellar, while the staiis were saturated with oil.
 All these fires and attempts have the characteristics of the fire in Cunningham s store three weeks ago Mayor Foss will call the city government together 10 offer reward, and Chief Narney will have an investigation as to how the fires caught. Several specials have been added to the police force to watch church and school house property, while banks and churches have special watchmen.

WAGES MUST COME DOWN.
Fall River Manufacturers Cannot Sell the
 Cloth They Make.

Cloth Ihey Make.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 22-The news of an impending cutdown in wages has turned the attention of people in this city to the seriousness of the present trade sit- nation in all parts of the country. Today cloth and the prices obtainAble for it are the great topics of discussion in every To- cal circle.
 The manufacturers who voted to appoint 0 committee to meet with like committees from other New England centers say they do not care to enter into any revision of the wage schedule alone.
 At the present time the schedule fur nished by the Spinners' union is in reality the one under which most of the large mills are working, and it has long been recognized. This scale is based on boom prices. To revise the work schedule is the first purpose Of most manufacturers of in fiuence here. They contend that such a revision may have no effect on the demand for their product, but it will reduce the cost of production to a basis more nearly | akin to the present selling price of their goods. They do not expect that operatives will take kindly to a reduction, but if the mills are to be run no better wages can be paid than are to be offered when the new schedule goes into effect.
 The factories that stopped did not close | their gates because the help were earning too much money, but because they could not dispose of their output at any figure.

WOMAN'S FASHIONS.
SERGE DRESSES AND BLOUSE WAISTS
 THE PREVAILING STYLES.

Modified Bell Skirt Still Used In the
 Dresses Now worn-Dust CIoaks of Shot

 of Gray. White and Black.
 First of all, something must be said in a general way about the features of the fashions of the season, says the New York Herald. One of the most striking facts is the acceptance by Parisiennes of a style set in England-in regard to materials, that is-the make of course always retaining that special note which distinguishes the Paris made costume from any other. Serge of course pre- serves its place, as it is one of the most useful materials, besides lending itself to almost anything in the way of making up.
 A charming dress is of fine gray cash mere cloth, a thin and light fabric quite suited for any wear and trimmed with broad band of black braid headed with a curly design in white braid. The con- trast of the black, the white and the gray is happy, and the style of the dress Is good, with its short bodice and cape collar. displaying at the throat a cravat of chiffon, and its well setting skirt trimmed with rows of black followed by the white braid. Deserving of number of adjectives is pearl gray silken crepon finely crinkled and trimmed around the

Mrs. Cleveland, during her first occu- pancy of the White House, made a col lection of the amusing letters which from time to time were forwarded to her through the mail by persons wholly unknown to her. The last week or two of her stay in the White House, prior to ex-President Harrison's inauguration, were occupied in looking over the ava lanche of private correspondence re- ceived during the two years of her resi- dence there. After destroying as many as possible, those put aside to be re- tained filled to repletion the depths of a Saratoga trunk.-Kate Fields Washing ton

ming. This is very neat, the stitching being ornamental without detracting from the usefulness of the wrap. Black silk of the softest make, lined with pale blue, pink, green, yellow or shot silk, makes a more serviceable and dressy cloak than those of a light color. It should fit tightly to the waist at the back, the cape being folded over in fichu manner, allowing just a glimpse of the lining to give little color and tighten the somber character of the garment.
