l. NJ. Weston, who is one of the chief
pillars Of the Michigan Democracy,
though he originated in the Republican
State of Maine, and who used to be
mayor of Grand Rapids, and of late
president of the Michigan board of
worlds fair managers, was chatting
with his intimate friend, Private Sec
rotary Thurber, the other evening at
the Arlington, says the Washington
Post. The conversation turned on the
peculiarities of some specimens of the
genus Briton who find their way to
these shores and the difficulty they ex-
periencC in getting at q correct under
standing of our institutions.
Il shall never forget" said Mr.. Yves
ton, "a banquet that I attended at
| John Chamberlin's some time ago,
which an Englishman of some note in
his country graced by his presence.
The force bill was up for discussion in
congress at the time, and, of course,
was a general topic of talk everywhere
! The stranger, who sat next to me,
seemed rather worried by the earnest
ness with which the dinner party de-
bated the subject, and said to me in a
confidential way: L can't understand
why you Americans seem never to talk
about anything but politics. We choose
other matters at social gatherings in
my country-art, letters, women,
horses, anything except politics; and
for the life of me 1 can't make out
what it is that your rival parties are
contending over
1T happened that in the course of
the evening some speeches were called
for, and among those who responded
was Hallet Kilbourn, who delivered n
glowing eulogium on the Republican
party, reciting its origin, it's great tri-
umphs the deeds of it's famous leaders,
and lambasting the Democrats for q
thousand sins. Others spoke in some
what similar vein, until at last it was
discovered that 1 was the only Demo.
crat present, and nothing would do but
that the solitary exponent of DemOc
racy should lift his voice IN defense of
his assailed party. 1t was done with
all the vigor at the command of the
speaker, and entering into the spirit
of the occasion, branded the Repub.
licans as the perpetrators of a long
series of crimes against the people
stigmatized them as the party of the
classes versus the masses, and all that
sort Of thing that is often heard in
heated campaigns.
Everybody, except the gentleman
from London, took the speeches at their
real worth. He listened as one en-.
tranced and understood them as meant
seriously. When / took my seat be.
side him again he seemed wrapped in
thought, and for several minutes said
nothing. Presently he leaned over apd

SCRANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY MORNING, MAY IL, 1894.


The shirt waist of 1894 surely de-
serves its name, being an exact repro
duction of a mans shirt, with the ex-
ception that it is shirred in at the waist
and worn with belt. Even the cuff has
borrowed the true shirt finish, for it is
set on the sleeve with staying piece up
permost, opening ON the top exactly like
q shirt cuff. Then there are the shield
shaped bosom and the high straight col
lar, with points which turn slightly, all Of
which is very mannish. The only saving
grace to this costume is the large, full
sleeves, which at least give 1t slight
touch Of femininity. The bosom fronts
are made in white and delicate shades
of blue, pink, gray and heliotrope, and
also hairline stripes Of white. Linen in
pale buff and tan is often used, and
black and white striped and dotted ma
terial, chambray, percale and cheviot.
The "shield frill" waist is more truly
feminine, with turn down collar all
around, and with cuffs which lack the
genuine shirt" effect. These are most
becoming to slender figures and are
much easier kept in good condition than
the designs which demand polished stiff
ness. Then there is still another variety
with fine tucks at each side and down
the front, with roll collar quite differ.
ent from the Others. Generally the backs
of these waists are made with the yoke
and fullness gathered into the belt,
which seems to be most satisfactory.
Tucks and gauged backs are also worn,
but the yoke is the most popular.

GENERAL NEWS OF INDUSTRIES.


President Wilbur, of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company. in denying the rumor
that the Weatherly and Hazleton shops
would be removed, said: "The Le-
high Valley has not Disseminated against
any town and will not. 1t has been the
policy of the company to help towns and
to scatter its work az against the ordinary
railroad policy Of concentration. The ma
Jority Of other roads build no one town at
the expense Of the line. That has not been
done In the case Of the Lshigh Valley. As
to how these rumors Of Interference origi
nate am at loss to know. The Lehigh
Valley has been loyal to its people It's
plans are laid so as to make the road as
great as any in America and to give it u
more important position in the anthracite
trade. Tho gradual contamination Of these
plans means increased prosperity for that
part Of the state known as the Lehigh
Valley"
In basing roseate predictions as to Potts
ville's future upon the fact that outside
capital is rapidly investing in Schuylkill
county coal properties, tho Despatch says:
"The purchasers and lessees of the various
tracts of land around Pottsville, upon
which improvements have been either
started or projected, are men from the
wyoming region who are thoroughly fa-
miliar with the coal business and who
know that in order to supply the market
the coal in this valley must be opened at
an early day. They are shrewd, intelli-
gent business men who fully understand
the situation, and who know their in-
vestments here will bring them handsome
returns in the future. The success Of
these enterprises will renew the assur-
ances that within twenty years Pottsville
will be the foremost city in the entire an
thracite region"

cite coal approximately for the week
ended May shows freJ movement from

ments from the former having increased
