said of all modes. It Is In bright Scotch plaid combined with heavy bou- cle cloth. Its tiny skirt Is made of bias plaid and is moderately wide. the back being laid In funnel pleats. With 1t Is worn a blouse of silk matching some color in the plaid. In the picture this Is hidden by the little reefer jacket made of boucle cloth and edged with a wide piping. A pocket with piped edge is put on the left side, and the standing collar and sleeves similarly ornament ed. Two rows of smoked pearl buttons ornament the front. and the garment Is serviceably lined with wadded silk.
 Wee belles have party dresses made with plain silk skirts, cut to flare all about prettily and sometimes with lit- tie butterfly bows of ribbon set short distance above the hem. The bodice may be of any light silk or chiffon, and is made much as mammals Is. Accor- deon pleated bodices, especially, are as popular for little maids as for their older sisters.
 Girls from seven to sixteen should in- variably wear the high, low heeled lace shoe in preference to low ones. No oth- CT habit insures the pretty foot and high instep the little maid will want from sixteen lowell, the rest of her life.

THE CITF TICKET.

The Republican convention to nomi- nate candidates on the City ticke. was held last evening, and 1t was as in. terestlng an affair as anything that has happened In this nelghborkood lately. Mir Farnsworth. the president of the Young Mems Republican club of this city. and the president of the State league of Young Mems Republi- can clubs, made himself still more solid with the young Republican men than he has been. if that is possible. by declining to take the nomination for mayor. which he could undoubtedly have had without asking for it. Mir. Allan Maxcy Hitler extricated himself from an unpleasant position with tact and good sense. He made a good im- pressIon by his remarks. which showed that he is a true philosopher as we'll as a skillful politician.
 There was apparently quite contest for the nomination for mayor. and Albert c. Hendrick finally carried off the honor. There is no doubt about the quality of this nomination. It is a very good one. MT. Hendrick Is one of the most popular men in New Haven. He has no enemies, and he has thous- ands of admirers and friends, won during his long and useful service of the city as head of the fire department. He has certainly ability enough to make a good mayor and he is so situated that he can give all the time necessary to the duties of the office. He deserves and will have big vote, and upless there is more Democratic harmony than there appears to be the will be elected.
 The other members of the ticket are all right in every way and well chosen for the places it is to be hoped they will fill. The ticket as whole is an unusually good one and all Demo- crats who want to rebuke the Demo- cratic ring and at the same time do good thing for the city shouldn't hesitate to vote it.

THE DEnoeRIrIc sIruArIos.


 The Democrats have nominated town and city tickets that resemble the ia. nous resuseitating committee in that they are weak in spots and strong In spots The tickets don't indicate any progress toward harmony. and they do indicate that the power of the old ring Is still unbreken, The Democrats have certainly been determined to smash the ring, They made good beginning at the State election. The lesson they then taught has not been needed by those for whom 1t was meant. An. other is needed and most richly de. served. Until the ring is knocked out for good there can be no real peace and no good Democratic government here The Democrats will show q right un. derstanding of their duty if they hit 1t again.

about mile away. I packed up at once and we walked over there. for l
 was very anxious to see what kind of sport 1t was. This was a tourna-
 ment. and all the professional wrestiers Of the neighborhood. and many youths anxious to distintinguish themselves, had collected to take part in 1t. They were divided into three classes. The
 masters Of the art were all past thelr first youth: not enormously stout, as they are often represented in drawings and carvings. but fine athletic men,
 taller than the average Japanese. They wore their hair in the ancient style. shaved away from the center of the head. and that from the back and siie made into queue. turned up and knotted with string on the top of tho poll; they had no clothes except loin- cloth and an embroidered apron. In the second class were men who had won but few prizes: they were noI all in the professional get-up, and some of them were evidently laboring-men with taste for sport. The third class was composed of youths. none of them more than nineteen or twenty years old. The contests took place in the temple courtyard on a circular bed of sand. under a roof supported by wood- en pillars, but not enclosed at the sides; round the edge of this raised circle there was laid a straw rope, and the man won who could either fairly throw his opponent or force him across the rope without being dragged over himself. The proceedings were con- ducted by a Shinto priest in full dress. wide trousers. and a coat sticking out from the shoulders like that of a mod ern young lady, who with a peculiar shaped fan gave the signal to begin and to stop. For the highest class this umpire was a venerable old gentle man; for the others the place was taken by young priests who needed to learn this part of their business. The wrestlers came on in pairs as their names were called, and after a great deal of marching round, stamping, rubbing their limbs. making gestures of defiance, and so on. they squatted opposite each other. When the signal was given to begin they rested their fingers on the ground between their knees, and leaned towards each other till their foreheads touched, sometimes waiting several minutes before at- tempting to make any grip. If the grip seemed unfair or unsatisfactory to one of the opponents, he immediate ly put down his hands. the priest stopped the bout, and all the prelimi- nary business had to be gone through again, but If 1t seemed all right the struggle began, and sometimes lasted for five minutes, each man straining every muscle in @ splendid way, and using all the science and cunning he knew. If it lasted too long without either man gaining any advantage, the priest signalled to them to stop, and they had to wait till their turn came round again. Everything was conducted in the most ceremonious and orderly manner. and there was no drunkenness or rowdyism, although the multitude who had assembled were entirely of the poorest class. The most fashionable wrestling-matches are held in Tokyo in spring and au- tumn, and the champion is as much a

 Pomona, Cal. Nov. 13.--1sitting before blazing fire in a log cabin near this place the other night, in company with four old-timers, the writer listened to stories of some remarkable shots at game. The occasion for telling a half dozen queer incidents happening in the woods was the remark made by Hank Raymond, the veteran hunter and trapper of the San Bernardino Moun- tains, as he dressed . rabbit for supper, that he had never shot one of the things ,n his life without breaking his neck and all fous of his legs, no matter where he hit him. s,s

REMOVABLE EXPENSE FUNDS.

REASONABLE EXPENSE FUNDS.
 The law of Illinois gives the State auditor authority to investigate build ing and loan associations, and directs the attorney general. when the auditor reports to him that abuses complained of have not been remedied, to apply to the court for an order requiring such an association to show cause why its bus mess shall not be closed up. Auditor Gore has been doing some Investigating of the Illinois Building and Loan asso- citation, 8 national" of Bloomington, and the attorney general refused to bring proceedings on his report. The auditor has published a very stinging statement of this case, in which he cites the legal obligation of the attorney general, and shows that the latter con- fessed that he changed his opinion about such cases on the strength of an argument made before him by the pres- ident of the association interested. He gives figures to prove that over $3s, 900 should be charged against the associa- tion for interest and premium unpaid, that the earning capital was less than one-half of the amount stated, that $135,O0O was improperly included among the assets, that s65, 5,0OO of loans in Ten. nessee are wholly uncollectable, etc., etc. The most generally interesting part of this statement is its criticism of the "expenss fund.-" which Is the actual in- centive to the organization of almost all national" associations. This fund is made up of an arbitrary amount set aside from initiation fees, etc., consti- tuting the pot out of which the officers get their perquisites. we have never" says MT. Gore, "becorne acquainted with reasonable expense fund.- We have never heard of one. In Illinois reasonable expense fund" is yet to be found. That it has remained for the attorney general to discover that an expense fund is a benef1cent institu- ton, is rather remarkable when we consider that 1t has been overlooked by the six-hundred-odd associations doing business in this State and making money for their shareholders, while every association found by us to be in- solvent had carefully attached it to it. self We are able to go even further and say that no association in this State collecting an expense fund and ex- pending it has been found by us to have ever accumulated any respecta ble profit for It's shareholders. and but half dozen have been found to be solvent"
 These words of Auditor Gore are worth needing outside the State of Illi- nios. Look out for ''teasonable expense f,1ndeD z fE t6sT.

In England, where charity is carried to the utmost limit of economy, the making of paper blankets for the poor is being heartily commended. Five or six newspapers smoothly spread out and laid one above the other and covered with flannel or any cheap material makes, it is said, capital blanket. The manufacture of these paper cover- lets, as well as hay quilts, another ex- traordinary device for keeping out the cold, are both undertaken by ladies in country parishes, where the indigent and aged find them great boon in Wintry weather.

The possibly of the attainment of wealth and office which this country offers is shown in the career of Isaac H. Hunter who was born in slavery. He had almost attained his majority before he looked into a school book. From his early youth he had interested himself in politics, and in later years figured conspicuously in the reconstruc- tion of the State of Virginia. His rise in politics was rapid. Tn July, 1869, he was elected by the Virginia conserya- tive State committee to deliver the well coming speech to the late Gilbert C, Walker on his election to the governor ship of Virginia. He was delegate to the Democratic convention which nom- mated Cleveland and Hendricks, and for sixteen years was the trusted friend and confidential secretary of the late Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer. Mr. Hunter is a real estate lawyer and is rich.
