As to Lieutenant Of Police.

When we began the publication OF
THE PRoGoEss the editor made a
mental promise that he would not
burden the readers Of his paper with
Mandatory claims for his journal be-
ing the first to take certain positions
on measures afterward adopted; to
make claims for others which were
accepted, which has grown SO wearl-
some 20 the public though still in

Aud while we intend to keep our
word still we are inclined to muse
somewhat over the earnestne's OF

office of lieutenant of police, some.

strongly and persistently did we be-

that the incumbent then, a gentle

DIAGRAMS FOR JACKETS AND TRIMMINGS.
The present mode of trimming waists is
so distinctive that it requires description.
1t consists principally in some form OF a
bertha or bretslles, and these are so com.
pick in appearance us to frighten the nov.
Ice yet they are really simple when one un.
derstands the first principle, which is this
the half circle All the berthas and high
plated capes and like trimming gain their
style by the plating of goods that are cut
ont in half circle, so that what is small
plat at the point becomes large and loose
one mt the outer edge. The diagram shows
one style of this trimming both applied and
in outline, and with that as guide every
woman can understand the principle, and
the clever one will vary it according to the
needs Of the case. This can be applied to
high or low necks for children and old wo
men. 1t can be plain, trimmed with lace,
fringe or passementerie, or it can be lined
with contrasting material. The corners
may be cut off, or it may be vandyEed.
There is no limit to the variations an intel.
ligent dressmaker may evolve. Made CT
wide lace over light silk it would garnish
the plainest fipck.
Waists are made with high collars and
with the neck cut quite low, finished with
ruflies The latter require little care as
the neck has but to be piped or bound, but
the high collar requires special treatment.
1t must be made with silk lining, wigan
or crinoline interlining and the outside
The lining and outside are hasted On to
gether. the interlining on the other side
Then it should be stitched around the up
per edge. beginning from the center and
sewing forward. Then turn the collar, bring.
ing the lining on one side and the dress
goods on the other. Basic this strongly
with the outside and interlining together to
tho waist, beginning with anotch in the cen
terof the collar, carrying it forward from
each side from the center seam in the back.
Then face it down very neatly.
The dressinaker will do well to measure
the fronts of the waist before she puts the
sollar on to see if they are exactly alike.
Otherwise she will have to rip it off, and it
never looks SO well again.
The finish Of n basque is a very nervocs
job and the careful dressmaker will see that
the finishing touches to the basque or waist
are put on before the skirt is done, for in the
rush and hurry of the last work some detail
HAY be sighted and spoil the appearance OF
the whole.
Whether buttons or hooks are used as fas-
tening depends upon the style of waist. bue
the most OF waists now close invisibly with
hooks The space where these are to be
sewcd ON should DE marked with blue PEN

comparative statement of the rates in the Me-
Kinley bill and the present bill as We propose
to amend it, both reduced 10 ad valorem rates

Senator Jones then exhibited some elaborate
statistics showing that duties on wool and woolen
cloths had been reduced in the former to the free
list, and in the latter from about % to G5 per
cent In iron and manufactures thereof from

that he had arrived the previous evening in

a bottle OF Bass and gone straight to bed.
About midnight he had been aroused by
violent knocking at the door, and en- opening
in had been grufily told that he was under ar
rest. and that he was to dress pretty quickly.
Hurried by the officers he had hastily
dressed himself, protesting uselessly that the
clothes he was hustled In were net his. and
was hurried off to the station. On his arrival
there he had sent for me. No amount of cross
questioning could get him to vary or enlarge
his story. nor could he give me the slightest
reason for his arrest. As to his beard, that
had easily been explained in answer to aques-
