CONGRESSIONAL REPUTATION.

Ises for Old Gloves,

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
If you have any old gloves with long
wrists. just think before pitching them into
the waste basket and cut off the tops and
save them for fancy work. The kid can be
easily cleaned and Is capable of being made
into a number OF pretty articles. Several
pieces Of tan-colored kid stitched together
along the edges will make neat tobacco
pouch. Run a drawing string Of gilt cord
through the top, and pant or embroider an
initial or device on the side. You have no
idea how pretty q thing it is when finished
An opera glass bag is another thing which
can be made from two square pieces Of IN
dressed Kid. Select a heliotrope or lavender
shade and paint pansies or violets thereon
The ribbon drawing string should be the
same color as the flowers. Kid covers for
small books, kid hair receivers and fan
bags. kid picture frames. card cases, pin
trays and host of other dainty articles
can be made from the despised glove tops.
This Is surely the day of small things.

MONOCLES COMMON IN EUROPE,
Relieved to Have Originated in the
British Army.
From the Nctw York World.

From the Nctw York World
In every capital of Europe the monocIe is
common enough 1t attracts TO attention
on the street. In a row of men at theater
a considerable proportion are sure to have
IT. Perhaps half the officers in the German
army wear monOCles. They are to be seen
IN abundance at any meeting of the French
Academy. Even socialist deputies in France
are not ashamed to go among their con-
stitGents wearing them. A session of the
English house of commons glitters with soii-
tary eyeglasses. The single eyeglass is said
TO have originated among the officers of the
British army. About the beginning of, the
century an order was issued that army Of
fcers should not wear eyeglasses or spec
tdcieS. 1t was supposed that they gave the
wedrers an unmilitary appearance The or
der cause< severe Inconvenience to many
short-sighteG officers and one of them be-
longing to crack regiment, invented the
single cyeglaSS. He claimed that being an
eyegiaSS, its use was no contravention of
the order which prohibited spectaCles and
eyeglasses. 1t soon became very popular in
the army, and was afterward adopted on
account probably of this origin the single

NO DEMAND FOR HORSES.
The Trolley and the Bicycle Are Rap
idly Knocking Them Out.

From Tie Chicago Herald.
Electric lines and bicycles have reduced
the average value of horses in the United
States from % to 80 per cent In the west
ern range country the loss is felt the worst,
for the surplus has formerly been sold in
the east. Now the east is a closed market
to the ordinary grades of horses, and there
is a surplus everywhere. In cases Of forced
sale prices are sometimes ridiculously low.
Recently number of carloads of range
horses of good grade were received by an
eastern road FOR shipment to an eastern
terminal. The eastern road advanced the
charges OF the western lines which had
forwarded the horses and added the amount
to Its charges for transportation. Arrived
in the east there was no market for the
horses and they were finally sold for 50
a head. The eastern road was paid the
entire purchase price and then was COM
PEELED to charge $50 to profit and loss for
its experience in the horse business. In
the future IL will advance no more charges
on horses.

abound la Rome. They are noticeable for

or oil is used in the cooking. the articles to
be fried being first covered with batter
or bread crumbs. When in season cauli-

an egg and then fried is I'm great favor
So also is celery and egg plant prepared in
ike fashion. Fish resembling smelts and
other species still smaller are made away
with in enormous quantities No pretense
is made of dressing them: they are merely
washed outside and the rest taken for
granted which Is indeed the only practical
way with the smallest varieties
The friggitoria pronounced fre-je-tow-re-
ain is about the husie5t place in Rome to-
ward noon and at sunset. Cabmen extract
from Under the seat of the cabs their bottle
of wine and stop for mess of fish and
fried vegetables. Bootbacks and news
boys get their meals at these places, Men
apparently in prosperous circumstances are
frequent visitors 10 these places. Beggars
also resort to the fry mart for their meager
rations.

1t is a great rarity to find even those who
mix their own ioaves and then afterward
have them cooked at the bakers.
Bakeries are very numerous and not only
do the baking for their own retail business,
but receive all sorts of dishes from private
families to be cooked. Domestics may be
seen, on the way to and from the bakers,
carrying great pans of sliced tomatoes, pota-
toes, beef quarters of lamb, kid, now and
then cake and many other dishes. In the
absence of homemade bread one is consoled
by the excellence of the bakers article. 1t

Cake and Pie.
Cake. as we regard it, is practically I'M
cults and bread are made, and also such
fancy cakes as cur caterers are wont to
provide for banquets. With pie the change
is still more radical. I never saw in Italy
what we term pie. They cook a kind of
pastry in pie plates. that Is made with
heavy, larded crusts, between which lies an
adamantinc layer of candied fruit and cit
ron.
At Naples there is n species of pie-once
known forever remembered-calledL La PiZ-
n. This remarkable dish Is made thus: \
doube-nay. triple-thick-crust of dough is
cooked into an ipdia-rubber-like elasticity,
combined with q density akin to that of
leather. While still on the fire such addi-
tons are spTinkled over the combination as

dimes and garlic, all in minced form. La

sing out, "AE Paetz," looking up at the
windows. into stores, around corners and
everywhere for customers. Families in
Naples and Rome who live above the first
floor have basket attached to a rope to
chases made in the street. The basket is
hoisted up with apples or milk onions
or whatever ii may be, to the great saving
of stair running.
The newly roasted nuts are carried in a

A WEEKS VACATION.
The Boot and Shoe Industry Appears
20 he More Favored Than Any
Other.
By ~, ASSOCIATED Pres.

NEW York, May 26.-R. G. Dun g. Co.'S
Weekly Review OF Trade says: Storms
and floods, prolonged strikes and large
exports Of gold have done their utmost
this week TO give business vacation.
But the wants unsatisfed during the past
year, beiated and much lessened and YET
greater than those of any other nation,
have caused volume Of trade quite large
for the season. The strikes do not appear
near an end, and while violence ana
bloodshed have occurred at few points,
most of the operators are making no ei-
fort to work their mines. Railroad trafhc
IS az yet affected comparatively little, out
weeks Of idleness for so many-either par
ticipating In or affected by ohe strikes
must lessen purchasing power and de-
mand for goods, and so cloud an outlook
which had begun TO seem brighter.
Prices OF products still tend downward
without much speculation. Wheat re-
covered little at the end OF last week,
but went down again with decidedly
favorable prospects for the coming yield.
Corn has been stronger. notwithstand-
ing the large receipts and Insignificant
exports.
Pork products all declined with heavy
receipts, and coffee is also lower.
Cotton has recovered shade TO IA
cents, though receipts for the week were
nearly as large as last year, and exports
Ruoh smaller
Scarcity of Coal Causing Trouble.
While the iron industry especially, and
many others TO some extent, have been
restricted by scarcity OF coal and coke, the
number Of works resuming has been
greater than the number stopping from
other causes. but it is symptom not TO
be overlooked that the demand for manu-
factured products instead OF increasing
appears for the moment rather smaller
than before, and indifference of buyers is
shown in cancellation Of orders hitherto
given.
Works in operation are fairly busy in
closing up orders for beiated spring de-
mand, bnt there is even more shrinkage
In orders for the future than was noticed
last year as the precursor OF coming dull
ness. In the wooden manufacture this is
especially true. except as to dress goods,
which are III fair demand, and sales of
8.26i, ,2l5 pounds WOOL against 2. 394, $50
last year, IL not partly speculative, would
represent much less than full consump-
tion. There appears no increased demand
for cotton goods. and manufacturers have
agreed that the accumulation of print
cloths must presently be checked by sus-
pending production.
The boot and shoe industry gives more
evidence of improvement than any other,
and the shipments from Boston, accord
ing To The Shoe and Leather Reporter,
again exceed those of the same week last
year.
Failures diminish in Importance. the
amount of Liabilities for the third week
In May being only S2,2O4, 139, and for
three weeks S., ,s36 972, Of which $2,643,-
Cs7 were of manufacturing and S5,025.-
0U7 of trading concerns. The number
of failures reported this week is 1873 in
the United States, against x59 last year,
and in Canada 70, against IA last year,
and again there are noted scarcely any of
Importance.

They presented theiE petitions to rne
senator's, and asked that 10 or l2 OF their
men should be allowed to go upon the
floor OF the senate while one Of them
should read it. but they did not receive
any definite response to this request.
Fitzgerald said he had visited Mr..
Coxey at his quarters in Jail, and had ex-
pressed his sympathy with him. He had
told him that his men were willing to ac-
cept all his doctrines except that OF rein
carnation, which be thought might as
well be left out when so practical ques-
tion as that of the want OF bread con-
fronted the people. Coxey urged them to
90 into camp and remain here for the
summer, but to this Fitzgerald replied
that it would be impracticable on account
of the difficulty of securing subsistence.
