Our free trade friends are very fond
of t, ling the American farmer that he
can Aerlve no possible benefit from pre-
lection. That while the theory may be
the guiding star of the grasping manu-.
fact1rer and the grinding monopolist, it
rs to the farmer only the ignis fatuus
which will lure him on to inevitabl
'uin. Their arguments are elaborate
ND Ingenious, and would perhaps be en-
tiled to some consideration if they were
ot 50 easily refuted by cold facts. Take
pr Instance the one item of eggs, on
hich the Mckinley bill imposed duty
five cents per dozen. This took effect
ftnb&r 8, 1890. In the eight proceed
years there had been consumed in
country an average Of Is 0O0,0
ems of foreign eggs every year. In
three years since the average has
i to oabout > 100000 per year, and
Year there were only a little over
1000 dozens brought into the coun-
In other words the American farm
is sold 10, 600, 900 dozens more eggs
year as a result of the protection
rded by the tariff. Now the Wilson,
Imam monstrosity proposes to take off
Is duty and let foreign eggs in free
kgain. How do the farmers like the
prospect?

 Little cloaks capes and coats are made of cloth, the fayorite form of capo being triple. Black and whito checks are in great vogue, and they arc in favor also for tourist costumes. A black and white shep- herds plaid is trimmed round the edge with wide band of black military braid and is filled in at the neck with black surah sash, the sleeves being in the same material as the latter The poculiarity of this dress lies in the very deep Swiss belt of black velvet, pointed back and front, but laced up in front over the black silk skirt. It looks as though the Swiss belt must be again returning to favor In Switzerland the black velvet belt is always laced over whito muslin bodice, but we too often forget, in borrowing types from other countries, the points i'll which their speciality lies.
 Chcne silks still keep. their place, and the early Victorian period is very evident ly being drawn on for both design and col bring. The grounds arc chiefly shots, with

 Tho fashionable colors for millinery are peryenche and bright cherry. The first named, which is neither blue nor purple, but combination of the two, is being most extensively patronized in Paris, not only for hats and bonnets, but for gowns and mantles, It is by no means univer- sally becoming, only suiting young, fresh complexions, but that is mere matter of detail. All wear it-young and old-re- gardless of its individual suitability. Cherry (cerise), on tho contrary, can be very generally worn, and wisteria, also favorite shade, is well fitted, with its deli cato lilac tones, to the matronly and eld- erly Felt is the material most employed by milliners, and long jet buckles have superseded those of paste. Thick embroid- cries in gold, steel, multioolored beading and jet form the crowns of the Dutch shapes still great deal worn. Oriental and Russian heavy embroideries are also greatly affected. Another form of the Puritan shape has a rather fluted crown and is covered with the new shade of sweet pea pink in miroir velvet. A jet cor onet su-rounds the brim, and jet orna-

 ments are set amid the handsome creamy guipure lace, which is the principal trim ming. The strings are of black velvet. Flame colored dahlias are the flowers on one very successful creation, the crown of smoke gray velvet and black lace, with black strings. This is an elderly lady's bonnet. It is rather large, square shape and comes well on the head.
 All colors are now worn by elderly wom- en, who are wise enough to see that gray or white hair and matronly figure are best set of by rich tones and materials. The gown shown in the illustration, for instance, is of velvet of deep fuchsia shade. The sides and back of the gown are en princesse, while the front of the bod. ice is confined under a belt of fine passe- menterie, deep points of the same material extending down the sides of the front breadth of the skirt. A band of beaver bordofs the foot of the skirt. The full vest is of straw colored crape. The reyers are of straw satin covered with chantilly, and a founce of ldce covers the shoulders. The balloon sleeves have deep Cuffs of straw sat- in covered with passementerie.

On last Monday evening the
Twice Five Club was highly enter
tanned by Hon. l.. d. Vickers, at
his residence, on Hunter Street.
The subject of the evening was, the
"Chinese and japanese War,"which
was ably discussed in all its
phases. After the program was
disposed of, the members and la
dies were invited to the capacious
dining room, where was spread a
grand feast. The decorations Of the
room were of Chinese and Japanese
banners, colors and lanterns, appro-
priately suggestive of the subject
of the evening, literary halo of
which had filed the atmosphere
prior to the banquet. 1t was not
unlike reviewing the history of the
countries, and then passing into the
midst of their uniqueness. At a
late hour the club retired from the
scene Of festivities,v voting Mr.. Wick
ers and his pleasant wife royal host
and hostess, indeed.

The z. H. v. & T. Has the Only Sixty
foot Rail in Ohio.

The distinction of having the
only mile of sixty-foot rail in Ohio
is borne by the Columbus, Hooking
Valley & Toledo. The piece Of
track is located six miles north of
Marion, on the Toledo division, and
sjust now being tamped up in good
shape after few months service.
The rails are sixty feet in length
twice the ordinary rail-and are
four and one-half inches high with
sixty-seven pounds to the yard.
The mile was laid for experimental
purposes, and is the first laid in the
State. The rail is giving good sat-
isfaction and makes a smoother
track. The expansion is double the
ordinary rail, but there is less labor
to keep up the track, as there is
just one-half the number of joints.
This saves l76 joints in a mile, the
cost of fish plates, bolts and nuts,
amounting to a dollar for each joint.
There is thus a saving of $l76 a
mile in the use of 60-foot rail. One
objection urged against the long
rail has been it's tendency to creep,
but the placing of witness points
along the track failed to disclose
the shifting of the rail.

A Portsmouth Man Invents a New
Kind of Heater.

Frank G.. Knaus, president of the
East-end Stove and Range compa-
ny of this city, has recently perfect
ed an invention which he thinks
will revolutionize the heating of
business houses, dwellings and fac
tories. Itprovides for the complete
combustion of fuel by the applica- :
tion of an old principle. 1t is we'll
known that any vessel or substance
containing water cannot be heated
beyond the temperature of the wa
ter in it. Mr.. Knaus makes those
parts of the heater exposed to the
intense heat, hollow, and fills them
with water which is constantly
changing and by a system of radi-
ators may be utilized to heat other
rooms. Mr.. Knaus has already
applied for a patent for his PLAN

repeated conversations with him
from the time of his capture till the
hour Of his execution. The side

upon the old hero's character deep.

of all in the audience that John

without his knowledge, the arrival

First Official on Record Who Can't
Draw His Salary.

Draw His Salary.
Representative-elect Miller of
Fairfield county, who was elected
to succeed Hon. James M. Farrell,
is in considerable of a quandary
these days and thus far has found
no one who can give a suggestion
of the way out. 1t is clear Mr..
Miller WAS chosen at the recent
election to fill the vacancy occasion
ed by Mr.. Farrel's resignation to
accept the land Office place in Col
orado, but the question is how is he
to get anything out of it? There
has been some witticism about the
the nice plum that had dropped in
to Mr.. Miller's lap. There being
no session of the general assembly,
it was thought the member from
Fairfield would have nothing to do
but draw his salary. But the prob
lem arises how is he to draw any
salary. The house is the Judge. Of
the qualifications of it's own men,
bers. 1t has adjourned sine die.
Mr.. Miller can not qualify as a
member, and If he can not qualify
how is he to draw salary?
The question is very novel one
and thus far Mr.. Miller has been
able to get no satisfactory answer
to it. The legislature is the only
power that could authorize the
payment of salary to him and it
will not meet again during the
term for which Mr.. Miller was
elected unless called in extraordin-
ary session, contingency 80 re-
mote that the somewhat disconsol-
ate Miller can get small comfort
from 1t.
The 5000 plum which Mr.. Miller
thought he had, doesn't look as big
to him as 1t did before election.
What is more, 1t seems about as
remote now as 1t did then. It Is
certainly situation that calls for
COMMUNICATION and deep sym
pathy. Ohio has had many an
official who could do little more
than draw his salary, but this is
the first case where one has not
been able to even do that. And
