THE POINT WE HAVE REACHED.
Philosophers have argued concerning
the origin Of fashion. politicians have
legislated upon it, to bring order out OF
chaos, but IL still defes the logical mind
Of man.
Fashions sequences are always uneX-
pected, its orbits are like those OF errauc
comets that follow some law when
nobody can formulate. Fashion is plant
ing roses and finding a harvest of cab
bage. and il destroys ones faith In the
sweet 70 asonabeness Of woman and her
fitness for the franchises of her brother.
Bustes show our sex imperyi)us TO
prayer, threat entreaty and ridicule.
Dragging skirts proved as Indifferent TO
sanitary rules and municipal difficulties.
and the possibilities in hoop-skirts, to-
gether with fads I'm sleeves, point 20 the
sacrifice Of grace. beauty and fine artis-
tic Instincts" The first manifestation
OF a new style is unusually pretty but
its final evolution IS indeed dire. Two
months ago slightly fun sleeves and led
neck trimming gave us a generously de-
VclOped figure which told Of health and
athletics and cold baths Now we have
built ourselves out until the ;rreve-ent
suggests scaffolding, and say that il
a womans bones were put together thus
she would commit suicide rs soon as the
craze. has been pronounced perfectly
ridiculous.
Just at present we are many inches
broader at the shoulders than at the hin.
while mid way between shoulder and ell
bow we have achieved heroic girth And
now, I'm proof Of this assertion. we have
only TO open a fashion magazine from
France or England or New York and gaze
at the prize costumes in full page cuts.

sizes the plateau effect, which hints Of
sawdust, canvas and hOrsehair and is
pronounced the most stunning thing ont.
And will we seek to reproduce it? OF
course we will and we will order a little

side"

rhe sanco.Romano Scandal.

:
ROME, Nov. 24.-The situation arls-
ing from the reading yesterday in the
chamber of deputies of the report OF
the committee appointed to investigate
the bank scandals was thoroughly dis
cussed this morning and the ministers
decided that their usefulness was at an
end. In accordance with this decision
the cabinet rendered its resignation as
a whole to King Humbert. When
Prime Minister Giolitti arose to read
the designations of the ministers the
chamber was in an uproar, the MEM
bers yelling and shaking their fists at
him, crying, "Thief," "Thief," a per-
feet storm of opprobrious epithets be-
ing poured on his head. There was
seemingly no chance of order being re-
stored and President Zanardelli declar-
ed the chamber prorogued. The mem
bers of the party of the extreme left
will meet to-day and debate the ques-
ton of impeaching the cabinet on
charges growing out of the Banco-Ro-
mano scandal.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. "a, 1893.

NEVER TO do what your enemy
wants YOU to do is an axiom in love,
war and politics. The democrats now
have control of both the legislative and
executive branches of the government.
Their enemies, the republicans, advise
them TO let the tariff alone, or else to
touch it lightly, until better times. II
they be wise, therefore, they will make
their tariff bill as radical as possible, ex-
Guiding from it the last vestige ofpro-
lection for the sake of protection,
and imposing taxes simply and solely
for the purpose of raising revenue.
Such a tariff they have promised the
people of the country, and upon that
promise they were put in power. 1t is
absurd to talk about waiting for better
times before changing a measure that
is responsible in no small degree for the
prevailing hard times.

Virginia NIethodists.

The Methodist Conference reconven-
ed at Danville yesterday morning,
Bishop CRANBERRY in the chair. Devo-
tional exercises were conducted by Rev.
]. w. Southall. A communication
from the commissioners of education of
the colored people was referred to its
proper committee. The amount con-
tributed to this cause by southern
churches last year, including legacy,
was ST., 1876, Virginia's proportion be-
ing 5000. The bishop introduced to
the conference Rev. H. G. Morrison, D.
D., of Nashville, secretary of the South
ern Churches General Mission Board.
The doctor made brief statement of
the condition of the board, the assess
ments for the current year aggregating
S350,000.
A number of memorials to the Gen.
eral Conference were referred to the
memorial committee. These memorials
recommend many changes in the dis
cipline, among them one requiring that
the conditions for admission to menu
bership in the Methodist Church shall
be more stringent, and demanding that
candidates shall profess such repent
ance as laid down in the New Testa-
ment as a condition Of personal saliva
ton. Another is that the delegates to
the General Conference shall be on a
basis of fifty members to one delegate,
instead of thirty-six, as now. Another,
that right to administer sacrament and
perform the marriage ceremony be con-
ferred to local preachers and preachers
on trial who are found worthy, without
regard to ordination. The following
applicants were admitted to the con-
ference on trial as preachers of the first
year: Samuel c. Hatcher, ]. Sidney
Peters, Ernest F. Hall, George II. Ray,
jr., F. W. Proctor, George E. Booker,
Arthur B. Sharp, Robert S. Baughan,
Robert F. Waterfield, William D. Blan-

The collections on Wednesday by the
joint board of finance amounted to
S23 900, the largest for any one day in
the history of the board.

Scared to Death.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Nov. "a
Twelve year-old Mary Powell, of Pros
pect Plains, this county, went to the
cellar for her doll Wednesday night,
and while she was ascending the stairs
her brother made mournful sound
and slammed and locked the door. The
girl screamed in terror, but the boy
kept her locked in. All at once the
screams ceased. When the door was
opened the girl was dead. A physi-
clan who was summoned said her death
was due to shock produced by her
fright. The brother, who is thus APP
parently responsible for her death, is
ill from remorSe.

AS ANTICIPATED, but a little sooner
than was expected, the first bad effect
of the strike on the Lehigh Valley rail-
road has been to raise the price of coal.
There are thousand poor people in
New York city now to every one
man engaged in the strike, none OF
whom can afford the increased price
of coal without stinting themselves in
the other necessaries of life; but their
sufIerings are not even taken into con-
sideration by the few men who ordered
the strike. The railroad company can
not afford the loss of their trade caused
by the strike, and in order to make up
forit, and only naturally, they get even
by advancing the price ofthe product of
the Lehigh Valley coal mines, which
they also own. But the strikers nor
the poor coal consumers will ever get
even.

NEW TREATMENT OF MAIAEn- The En-
ropeau edition of the New York HaraH notes
two remarkable methods Of treating the mos.
stubborn and refractory cases Of malaria.
One of these methods, suggested by an ItAl.
ian physician, VI. Xibilia consists in the nv.
poderuic injection of Quinine until it pro-
duces an abscess. The theory Of this treat
ment is that an absccss draws to itall the in.
fictitious germs in the system and amnihilaici
them by means of its suppuration. An arti-
fetal abscess would thus naturally serve 10
drain from the blood the organisms which
cause malaria DR. Xibilia has tried ms
method upon several patients with maaria
complaints that had-Fesisted all ordinary
treatment, and il is reported he has obtained
excellent results from this singular, but not
unscientific treatment
Another and audacous experiment which
has been actually tried on human subjects IN
Europe essays to relieve victims Ot malaria by
the suppression of the spleen. Possibly a
man may live without the spleen, but II does
not by any means, therefore. follow that this
organ is a supcrfluous member of the body. \
surgical operation OF this summary kind for
the relief of malaria would be anything but
conservative. 1t would be something like
cutting out an eye to correct short-sishtedness
or amputating Il mans leg because he should
happen to be bOwIcggcd.

THE release of some Russian convicts
from Siberia, who escaped to this coun-
try, was not very friendly, let alone
courteous, act on the part of the United
States government, which. since 1861,
has considered the eagle and the bear
as allies, if not twins. But anarchists
come from Russia, and it may have
been deemed good policy to pleasure
their fancy, rather than that Of the
ruler of their country.

A REMARKABLE OPERAT IoN.-,Dr.
w. B. Rogers, surgeon of Memphis,
read a paper before the Tri-State Medi-
cal Society in that city Yesterday that
detailed remarkable operation on &C
count of its success. Robert Hannah
fell some time ago and the jar caused
the descent ola right inguinal hernia.
The intestines became clogged and an
incision was made over the site of the
appendix and ten inches of the intes-
tines were drawn out. The peritoneum
had given way, and gangrene was imi-
nent. Ten inches of the intestines were
cut out and an end-to-end approxima-
ton was made by a newly discovered
button. The wound was closed with
silk suture and the man was taken off
the table in fair condition. The but
ton passed out on the seventh day and
the man is now well, and was exhibit
ed before the society yesterday. This Ia
one of the four cases when removal of q
section of the intestines has been sue
cessful and the first successful case of
the kind in the South.

ACCORDING To an English cores
pondent of the Dry Goods Economist,
American carpets are now in the mar
kets of his country to stay, and sell
there at cheaper rates, for the same
quality, than those made in England,
And this, too, though the American
manufacturers have to pay high tariff
tax on wool, while their English rivals
get theirs free. If American carpet
makers can afford to sell their product:
cheaper in England than those of the
English competitors, American Carpet
BUYERS would like to know why theil
sellers should be enabled by the tarit
on carpets to make them pay more 70
them than they would have to do i
they lived in Eneli and.
