Of ''those nice French silks. so cool fo :
summer" can now have her hearts de-
sire. The old-fashioaed taffeta silks, one
OF the best wearing, prettiest and most
satisfactory weaves. are coming in style
once more. and although they are anythin G
but cheap as yet, yet there Is hope for the
future. These silks, no matter how deli
cate the color, have happy quality OF
defying dust and soil. and moreover do Tot
crease and become ''stringy" as do the
India and China silks.
Now that spring has come with its
wealth OF blossoms, the custom of wearing
them IS increasing. Not very long ago 1t
was considered bad taste to wear natural
flowers. but some gracious lover of their
beauty and fragrance has originated the
pretty idea of being known by special
favorite flower. And now The strife is to
find the wherewithal TO pay for the flowers
10 wear. Ii they are too cheap they smell
OF ''vulgarity." so it is only by paying
high prices that one can indulge In the real
essence Of this fancy.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. %, 1S94.-Gen-
eral Master Workman Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor today stated that he
favors the scheme of President Debs
of the American Railway Union regard
ing the formation of a union which would
combine all trainmen. The head of the
Knights of Labor, however. thinks it
would be impossible to accomplish such
a thing from the fact that the various
railway organizations would not surren-
der their identity. Mr.. Sovereign fur
ther said
1.-THE American Railway Union was
formed on the broad basis of a common
brotherhood, and granted as much con-
sideration to the section men as to the
ocomotiv engineers. During the recent
strike all the old line brotherhoodS were
earnestly entreated to join the move
ment. They refused to do SO. This is
evidence enough that they will not now
disband their orders TO form a general
organization. I think there is only one
way by which labor organizations can
be brought into one general order, and
that is by a convention. composed of
representatives from all labor organiZa-
tons, which will form a basis of con-
solidation, and then carry the PROPOSE
lions of the convention to the owen
tons of their respective orders for adop-
ton. If such propositions were adopt
ed, then the one organization could be
ormed."

wBAvERs PAID BY THE POUND

LOWELL, Mass Aug. %, 1S94.-The
Merrimac mills have begun paying their
weavers by the pound instead of by the
cut, to offset the conditions of the
Weavers' Particulars Bin. The bulk OF
the production at this mill is print
cloth, and during the month of July
the cuts, which are supposed to con-
tain so yards each, average 4s.37 yards.
The cloth weighs 7.05 yards to the pound,
or about seven pounds to the cut. I'm
der the new rule the price paid per
pound is a trife over 81 cents, making
the price paid to the weavers per cut
1879 cents, as against 10 cents, as paid UNI
der the old system. A weaver running
3 looms, producing AZ cuts, would there
fore lose four cents a week under the
new system. This lossto weavers will
probably be more than made up during
the winter months, when the windows
are closed and the cloth becomes
Weighted with the moist atmosphere OF
the mill.
