The lacemakers are not suffering much
from the hard times which affect nearly
every country on the globe. At any rate,
If they are pinched by poverty II cannot
be from lack Of employment. There Is
no article Of wearing apparel which may
not receive its quota of lace trimming. IL
is not used in great quantities on any
single garment, but a friil, or turf OF
jabOt, or a band Of insertion serves 10
finish of any part of ones OUTFIT from the
hat TO the petticoat a bit of white lace
tucked i'm under the stiff rim of large
hat serves to soften the effect. Lace IS
also used az trimming for the outside OF
the hat, and sometimes forms the only
framework Of an evening bonnet
Always utilized as trimming for un-
derclothes, il is even more plentiful now,
and one OF the large establishments has
had a window full of as dainty lace trim
med night dresses and petticoats as
tho most fastidious lady could wish for.
But this fabric serves ass the greatest
boon to womanknd in the shape OF JaDots
and other fixings for the neck.
..any a woman who has little money
for nnery has seized upon this fashion as
an opportunity to crafty her feminine
craving for adornment at small eX-
pense. An eighth of a yard Of velvet Tor
collar, with two yards of lace gathered
on, will make an evening dress out OF
very ordinary gown.
The newest device for neckwear is
wide silk scarf tied around the neck in
monstrous bow i'm front. The loops stand
out from shoulder 20 shoulder, and the
eads reach to the waist and are cut bias
with lace to finish them Off These are
made Of any shade of silk, but are pref
test in light tints. The one shown I'm
the picture was seen at the theatre and
is pale blue.
The other illustration shows another use
for the ubiquitous trimming 1 have been
talking about. It is a theatre bodice with
lace yoke. velvet belt and neck band,
both Of which latter are fastened with
buckles. The young woman who wore
this had a seat i'm the box which enabled
her to turn her back upon the audience.
OF course. this was purely accidental
but II il had not been for her position
nobody would have seen the velvet ana
Jet ornament upon her hair. nor the silver
buckles. nor-but as | said, it only hap
pened so.

AN ELECTRIC LIANT.

We are very sorry TO see that the Com
mittee on Light has determined to report
10 the Council In favor Of the city build
ing an electric plant. We had hoped the
defeat which this measure received two
years back had ended it for all time.
Our objection to this thing is radical
and fundamental. 1t belongs to the pa
ternal and socialistic proposition Of gov
eminent. We want TO see government Of
all kind, United States State and city,
divorced as absolutely as possible from all
business enterprises. Laws should be
confined to keeping the peace, preserving
order, and preventing one man from tres
passing upon the rights of another. and,
when they have attained that end, the
law-maker has pretty well performed his
functions. Whatever comes within the
domain of what We call business per-
tains TO agreements between parties and
these should be what the parties them
selves determine that they should be and
they cannot be benefcally touched or
operated upon by statute laws.
When the government undertakes to in
desire to make and Shape them in this or
that way. it undertakes what can be sue
cessfully accomplished by the Almighty
alone. for He alone possesses all knowl-
edge, and, therefore, He alone is prepared
to say with authority what is best and
what is not. All the other relations that
arise between parties must be such as the
parties themselves. after viewing and con-
sidering all the facts and circumstances,
determine, each for himself that they
should be.
The first bad result that arises from
government undertaking to run a bust
ness is the creation of more Offices with
salaries attached. These become the
prizes TO be struggled for in politics and
they Immediately add their contribution
10 the common stock Of what goes TO-
wards debauching the people through cor
rupt elections. The multiplication OF sal |
aried Offices produces decentralization |
amongst the people by tempting them /
from the stern and exacting duties OF |
the struggles of life to the repose be
longing to a place with fair pay and lit
tie or no work; and those who become
demoralize in turn as
means of getting advantages in the strug-
gle for the Office.
Instead of increasing the business that
she is TO conduct we would be glad to
see the city abridge those which she now
runs.
She can save money by purchasing her
from private parties. But
whether she can or not we want her TO
refuse absolutely to establish plant Of
her own.

ANNOYED by Fellow in The Gallery snd
haddened by - reporter.

a New York Sun dispatch from San
Francisco. says: Lotte Collins is on
the warpath against an Examiner re-
porter. who declared that her resentment
against gallery god who guyed her last
night was due 10 the painful conscious
ness that frost had fallen upon her.
LOttle made the huge mistake Of sing
Ing Marguerite during her first week
instead OF "Ta-ra-ra," which the public
wanted to hear. The result has been that
she has not made the hit she expected
10. So last night when a fellow in the
gallery annoyed her she suddenly adj
vanced to the footights and called out
in angry tones:
ANY bloke in the audience as don't
ike me act can go 10 the box hofiis and
get is money back, e cam"
II she had thrown a bomb she couldn't
have created greater sensation. Several
nervous ladies left, fearing a scene and
Lottie's attempt TO placate the audience
with 'Ta-ra-ra' proved n failure. The
English dancer was more angry than
ever this morning when she read the
exaggerated and rather malicious ac-
count OF the incident She asserted that
she had only done what she had right
TO. as American theatres lack the bouncer
who in England Always throws out those
who guy actors. She alternately cried
and abused the reporter and finally de-
cided 10 whip him. At last accounts she
was camping on his trail.

MR.. GORMAN AND THE TIMES.

Commenting upon paragraph concern
| ing Senator German, which. appeared in
| Wednesdays Dispatch, the Richmond
| Times says
"'rhere is no man, woman. or child,
however low he or she may have fallen,
who is without friends"
That is to say. Mr. German has friends
as a tramp or street loafer has friends.
And yet the Times has lot yet made up
its mind. whether it would be willing or
not to exchange Mr.. Martin as a United
States senator for this depraved Demo-
cratic Marylander. What Il compliment to
Virginia and her United States senator.
And these left-handed compliments or
surs, nay much more than slurs or
sneers, are contained in the same issue
OF the Times which mentions the fact
that Mr. German is chairman Of the
Democratic Senatorial Caucus. chosen by
his brother senators, and has appointed
the senator's who are to constitute the
Democratic Campaign Committee
Surely our contemporary is a model
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF yesterday.
We have so far been treating this mat
ter rather lightly and airily, but. in view
of the above we think it entitled TO a
serious discussion.
the exponent OF the very worst
form of ring, spons and a COR.
rupt system Of politics that this
country has ever known. Through an in
telligent and organized plan for distri-
buting what is called patronage, he has
debauched the Democratic party of Mary
land. Ask any citizen Of MARYLAND
about the condition of things existing
there and just this answ er VIII be given.
Let any Nirginian inquire of Col. Charles
Marshall, Col. II. Snowden Andrews, Hon.
$. Teakle Wallis. or any other Aarylander
whom the Nirginians respect. and see if
this Is not the account received.
The Dispatch made much Of German
having defenders and we replied that ii
was to the credit of human nature that
no man ever fell so low as not to have
them. German. too. has his defenders,
for he has dependents and benehciaries
and associates working for common
end and tooters ana heelers.
Now so far as Mr.. Martin is con-
cerned, the Times has said nothing about
him at ALL II has been re-
marking ON. and regretting the
character which his friend and ardent
supporter Judge Harris, has given him.
Judge Harris says ne is another German.
The Dispatch is wrong to say the Times
has not yet made up its mind whether
it would exchange Senator Martin for
Senator German. If Senator Martins
friend has characterized him truly the
Times is perfectly Indifferent whether
there is any exchange or not. Between
two things which are exactly equal, there
cannot be much room for choice. II Mr.
Martin is another German, as Judge
Harris says he is, God help Virginia.
All we can now do is still 10 hope |
that Mr.. Martin has not been correctly |
by Judge Harris.
