AlbuqusFQss Democrat
About a month ago a slick, oily
tongued young man called at va
rious residences in this city, and
introduced himself as the agent of
the "Home Supply Co. of Chicago"
In consideration Of Sc paid in
hand TO the agent, or to be collect
ed afterwards, the name of the
person solicited was to be placed
on the magic list of patrons Of the
Home Supply. The quid pro quo
in the case was that the subscriber
could make purchases of clothing,
dry goods, boots and shoes, and
every conceivable article service
able in a household, from the
Chicago institution at a marvel
ously low price. In fact they
would give things away for almost
nothing. Tbs price would not pay
for the making, leaving the mate
rial out of consideration. 1t was the
mecca of housekeepers, and some
no doubt determined to surprise
the pater famllias with their eco
nomic purchases. Had they STOP
ped a moment to consider they
would readily have come to the
conclusion that in order to sell so
cheap, the Home Supply Co. must
steal their goods.
A prominent business man living
in the northern part of the city
brought the attention of the re-
porter to the scheme yesterday.
The gentleman stated that he had
received a bill for $3.50 from a
Chicago lawyer to be collected for
the Home Supply Co. From his
wife he learned that the agent had
called on her, but that she had
made no contract with him either
verbally or written, and that she
had ordered no goods from that
institution. OF course the gentle
man will not pay the bill. Is the
Home Supply Co. a fraudP Al
the least it is queer way of doing
business.

The labor troubles at Home
stead and Moorewood have "set
back" the state of Pennsylvania
half a million dollars. Gov. Pat
tison's suggestion that the cost of
suppressing local disturbances be
taxed upon the county calling upon
troops is worthy of more than pas
sing attention. In his opinion it
would be an incentive to determin-
ed action of local authorities and
prevent wholesale surrender to
lawlessness. If the suggestion of
Gov. Pattison's were made to APP
ply to the Homestead incident no
one could gainsay its equity. In
this way the Carnegie company
would be made to pay well for
what most people will always be-
lieve they we're most to blame for.
Troops would not have been need
ed if the comgany had proceeded
agejnst the strikers by proper law
full methods. If damage should
then have been done the Carnegie
mills, the state of Pennsylvania
was bound to compensate the
owners. Another suggestion OF
Gov. Pattison's is that law pro-
scribing the introduction of armed
bodies of men without consent OF
the state should be passed. These
things would seem to be the lesson
taught by the Homestead troubles.

gold. The gold notes are redeem
able in gold, but the bulk of the
governments obligations are re-
deemable in coin, and the silver
dollar is coin. The people know
this, aud nobody outside of the
clique that comprises the money
power and its agents, wants the
obligations of the government 10
be redeemed in gold, not only
because We're is ho law ceit, but
becauseita Gmpossibility. The
government can no more redeem
its obligations in goi2 than the
New York Chamber of Commerce
can drag down the moon and di-
vide the stefi' planet among its
membership. Since the act OF
1890 went into operation it has
added s120, 100000 to the currency
OF the country, and this has been
absorbed by trade aud business as
rapidly as it has been issued. The
result of it is prosperity in nearly
all branches of business. There
were fewer failures last year, and
trade was better than it has been
since 1878. We are bound to say,
therefore, that the Sherman law is
doing very we'll.

The silver Question.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution
There is one fact democrats in
the south and west ought clearly
to understand, and that is that the
opposition to the act of 1890 now
comes almost entirely from those
who are opposed to any further
additions to the currency.
They do not oppose it because it
makes a commodity of silver and
puts in operation the subtreasury
of the Ocala platform. Not at all.
They oppose it because it adds a.
100000 each month to our curren-
cy. The Chamber Of Commerce
of New York makes this the basis
of its opposition. 1t declares that
"the continued use Of S4,000,0O0
of legal tender treasury notes to
pay for 100000 ounces of silver
will make it more and more diff
cult for the government to redeem
its obligations in gold the longer
it is continued"
Here Is not only a protest
against the increase in our circu.
lation, but a revival of the old
fable that the obligations Of the
government are redoemable IN

The art of making needles was
kept a secret until about 1850,
when it was taught to the English
by Christopher Greening. Now
English needles are sold all over
the world. AT Redditch alone,
10000 people make more than
lO0,000,000 needles a year, and
they are made and exported so
cheaply that England has no rival
in this country, and practically
monopolizes the trade. Formerly
matchmaking annually killed tens
of thousands by the PARTICLES OF
steel being inhaled, but now a
blast of air away from the grind
stone has done away with all that,
and the occupation has become
quite safe. The most interesting
part of needle making is the drill
ing of the eyes, 1t Is said that
experts can perfoIate hair and
thread it with itself. Although
Great Britain makes the ordinary
needle for Americans, the latter
in their turn, make nearly all the
sewing machine needles. The
National Needle Co., at Spring
field, Mass, annually makes 3d..
100000 machine needless

There are a few more words TO add with
reference 20 evening dresses. II a train is

bresdths are tapered down 10 that the back
breadths are ~ yards long. A tlemitfaln
ls | y yards, though the train can be longer
II desired. Il is finished on the inside like
any nice skirt and should have balayeuse.
A court train IL made Of two breadths Of
material lined with silk or satin, and
plated and fastened at the shoulders in
the back, and then tackled TO the sides Of
the skirt at the hips, and the rest left
loose to fall over the other skirt.
A few words more regarding the model
ing OF a waist lining. II the wearer n
short waisted and stout, an impression"
can be taken, as Is done with other waists,
but the proportion in drafting the model Ia
60 allow In width in proportion TO what
would be one inch 70 each seam and 70
eliminate one or more inches at the waist
line, just as II slice that wide had been
cut out all the way around and the lining
sewed up again.
Almost every lady, be she amateur or
professional dressmaker, may wish Ia
make a riding habit. Directions have al
ready been given for making the basoue,
but It is almost as difficult TO make the
skirt now as the waist. It Is cut to at
snugly around the hips in the same style as
the skirt model az to the front breadths,
but the back consists Of a single breadth
laid in fiat plaits Mt the back. The skirt
should be roomy over the knees and fall
gracefully without atraining. The model
skirt will allow this, and the riding skirt
should be a tribe more than walking
length and simply hemmed at the bottom.
II 1t IL possible TO have the lady sit on a
saddle to try ON the skirt It will be Of great
advantage, as 1t is easier to "hang" the
skirt so that It shall fall Just right.
The riding skirt should have stout belt
and fastening. II should open on the left
side and button over with small silk but
tons The pocket is placed almost in front
and has flap, and Is cut across instead
Of lengthwiSe. In sewing the skirt OF .
habit, which should be Of serge or cloth
each seam should be carefully pressed and
finished in the neatest manner.
A finish often adopted for the edges o
basque, front, ETC., Is to baste silk braiC
with the edge even with the edge and OF
the right side Of the goods, lying back
ward; then stitch this down, and after
ward turn the braid around to the wronr
side and fell 1t down. This Is flstly presset
and Is the same as the braid on men'i
coats, Nothing could be neater

The Governor General of Cana
da receives a salary of $4,000 d
year, which is the same as that
given to the President of the Unit
ed States, In addition. Rideau
Hall, at Ottawa, his official resi-
dence, is kept up at the public ex-
pense. That the Canadians are
not niggardly in enabling the Gov
ernor-G General to keep house in
good style is shown by an account
Of the expenditures the past year,
They indicate, too, that the Gov
ernor-General is a very hospitable
ruler. There Is an item or $4,000
for new dishes, comprising 1900
wine glasses and decanters of va
rious kinds, 1893 plates AMI 1000
other articles in that line. Fifteen
persons are employed to take care
of the house and grounds, besides
$4,000 paid to other parties for
work on the grounds. An allow
ance Of 5000 a year is made fol

In a recent volume published by
DIR. Ludwig Brandt he furnishes
some interesting statistics as to the
parts of the body exposed TO fire in
battle. They are based on the war
of 1901. The number of officers
and soldiers of all grade belonging
to the German army who were
wounded during the campaign was
was 116,821. OF this number H.
04l were wounded in the head, in
the neck 1922, in the breast and
back II, ,495, in the abdomen 9553,
upper limbs 1894, lower limbs
1882 and divers cases not espe-
cially classed, 1871. The statistics
show plainly what parts Of the
body are most exposed to IRE
during battles.

1t is reported that near Currizc
Springs, Texas, an oval-topped
mound, covered with petri6ed hui
man skulls has been discovered.
The mound is circular in form and
about 100 feet high, and on one
side is joined to a short range OF
hills of about the same height,
On the summit and for some dis
tance down the sloping side it is
covered with what appear to be
smooth, spherical bones, which
upon close examination prove to
be, it is said, petrifed human
skulls, distorted into grotesque
shapes. 1t is further stated that
by removing the loose dirt and
sand from the orifces of the face
the unmistakable human counte-
nance is revealed. Bones of other
classes are also said to be found
there, and from all appearances
the whole mound is formed Of
human skulls.

est citizens in town. For the last six
months almost nightly, stores have
been entered and the most valuable ar
ticles carried off. Sunday night Mr..
Shellenberg decided to keep watch in
his store. About II o'clock the rear
door was opened by means of key, and
four masked men entered. AS they
reached the center of the store room
Mr.. Shellenberg turned on the
electric light and ordered them
to throw up their hands. Three of
them did so, but the fourth started to
run, when Shellenberg fired and the
man dropped dead. The shot attracted
a crowd to the store and the dead man
was unmasked first. He proved to be
one of the most popular young men in
the city. His three companions were
discovered to be equally as high in the
social scale. They were Walter Miller,
Walter Chittenden and Roscoe Carr.
They confessed to having committed all
the robberies. Owing to their social
position and the fact that the leader of
the band was killed, the merchants who
were robbed refuse to prosecute them.
Their relatives made good all the losses.

On the Decisions of Judges Kicks and
Taft.
PHILADELPHIA, April 5.-Comment-
ing on the Ann Arbor decisions The
Press says:
Judges Ricks and Taft. like Judge
Billings in New Orleans in dealing with
the freight handlers strike. hold that
the interference of labor organizations
and labor generally with free traffic
cannot be permitted. This is just. No
man, no men and no corporation has u
right to check free movement on pub
lie highway, which railroad is. The
decisions now made do not touch on
the wholesale refusal of railroad opera
tives to discharge public duties by q
concerted and simultaneous resignation
from the service of the company. In
time this will be prohibited by the
courts, or by law or by both. A man
is free to leave any employment he de-
sircs, but he cannot abuse this freedom
to tho public injury. There are certain
employments, like the army and navy
and the work of seanlen, which men
cannot leave at will. In due time rail-
roads will be added to the list"

WASHINGTON. April 5.-Chief Justice
Fuller has announced the decision of
the supreme court in the case of the
Northern Pacific against Charles S.
Walker, county auditor, ct al. from the
court of appealsfrom the Eighth circuit.
The railroad company in 1890 began
suits against the auditors of 10 coun-
ties in North Dakota for munitions to
restrain them from assessing taxes
against certain lands, the title to which
rests in the company. The chief justice
stated that the amount involved in any
one county was not sufficient to give the
circuit court jurisdiction, and, indeed,
the record shows that the total amount
in the 12 counties is not sufficient. The
judgment of the circuit court was
therefore reversed, and the case re-
manded for further proceedings. No
dismissal was made, the chief justice
explained, for the reason that by the
time the cases get back the amount in
volved may be sufficient in some of the
counties to give the court jurisdiction.
But it cannot obtain jurisdiction, he
said, by combining the amounts at issue
in two or dozen counties.
