and seems to be enjoying her first season
very much, though doing double duty,
as her mother is not strong enough to go
cut much.
Senator Gray of Delaware has two
daughters ''out." The eldest-a tall, fair
and accomplished girl-came out last
year, | think. Her sister Emily, Just
emancipated from school, has been hay
ing a delightful time going about and
assisting" at various functions. She is
of medium height and slender figure,
with fair complexion, light brown lair,
blue eyes, dimpled checks and a very
bright, happy expression.
Miss Mabel Money, daughter of Rep-
resentative H. D. s. Money of Mississippi,
is tall and fair, with easy and pleasing
manners, better read than most girls of
her age and clever violmist. She en-
joys going about and is, l imagine, a
rather keen observer. Her sister Lillian
is brunette, still at her lessons, devoted
TO painting, for which she has much tai
ent.
Two other musical girls who pay more
attention to their studies than to society
are the daughters of Representative Can
non Of California. One is yiolinist, the
other devoted to her piano.
Lucy Follett Uhl, daughter of the as
sistant secretary of state, is very at
tractive girl, tall and slight of figure,
with light brown hair and dark brown
eyes. She has been carefully educated
and spent some time abroad perfecting
herself in French and German, which
she speaks fuently, and Spanish fairly
well. She isvery clever as an amateur
photographer and more than average

Let the Tail Go With the Hide.

wellsburg Herald (Rep).
The sheep business being now prac-
tically dead in this country, would it not
be some little compensation to abro-
gate the tax for the payment Of the
losses occasioned by sheep-killing
dogs. This goes little on the prin-
ciple Of letting the tail go with the
hide and may possibly be objected to
by some, but surely no one who voted
for Cleveland and the Wilson bill will
have the cheek to raise his voice
against it. They are guilty of the
destruction Of more sheep in a year
than were all the dogs in the country
since its settlement. Think of 2, 900
from 1892 to 1893.

Legal injustice to y omen.

A young man and wife start out to-
gether in a small investment, depend
ing for profit on the joint labor of one
behind the counter, or both, as business
may require, the wife being the domes
tic manager.
Nine times in ten, under my observa-
ton, the wife works the harder. She
works in the kitchen; she works in the
store; she does not indulge in Injuries.
If, after 10 years of common toll, in
Guiding the blessed relief of mother
hood and its joyful added cares, he, I'M
der our lax divorce laws, should bru-
tally cast her off on one of the many
pretexts found now sufficient, the equi-
ty of that wife and mother in the prop
erty of which she fully halved the max
ing is not recognized except by caprice
of courts or license of flexible statutes.
/ must say that the disposition of the
Judiciary has been almost invariably
on the side of equity, but common law
and statutory bars still operate hardly
upon the wife and mother.
The mother, however abject her pow
erty, wants the child or the children
and will work herself to the bone to
maintain and educate them. Under the
laws that lie on the books of most OF
our states, she cannot get her moiety OF
the material goods to which she is in
conscience entitled, except after expense
and delay, If she succeed even then.
She rarely succeeds. - Philadelphia

long ago. Among the prettiest materials
are the new designs in shepherds
checks, with eight checks to the inch
formed by bars, each inclosing four
checks The bars are dark brown and
white, with occasional faint lines of some
other color, but browns in several shades
and white make nearly all of them.
Some of them vary in having the dark
lines run closer together, but they are all
neat and excellent value for the money.
There is novelty in silk and wool
hair line stripe. This so far is shown in
only four color combinations-slate and
blush white, mordore brown and ivory
white, quaker drab and white, and gar
net and white There is one thread of
silk and two of wool, running length
wise, and the warp is of wool of shade
lighter than the wool, so that there is a
delicate undercolor to them ALL This is
very firm, and will be employed largely
for tailor costumes like the plaits.
There is tendency to return to the
combination of red and blue in gowns
both for home and street. These two
colors are natural compliments, and they
go we'll toward making a cheap gown

dUILELEss STATESMEN.
Their Innocence Illustrated In Fixing
the Tariff on Playing Cards.

Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.).
The Wilson bill proposes tax OF 2
cents per pack on playing cards. The
subcommittee of the Senate have add
ed to this proviso that no pack shall
contain more than fifty-four cards.
Being as innocent of all knowledge
on the subject of playing cards as
either Senator Vest, Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, or Senator Mills, we have
been at some pains to investigate this
subject, and have been assured by an
expert that fifty-two is the number
usually contained in pack of play
iag earls. In modern times there has
been added to this number one more
card for use in euchre, which is call
ed the 'joker." The expert said he
knew of no kind of playing cards the
number Of which in a pack of playing
cards exceeded fifty-three, and added
that when any larger number were re-
quired they are usually contained in
some secluded portion of the players
clothes.
The proviso illustrates the dangers
which come Of the adjustment of tar
if duties by gentlemen unacquainted
with the several interests affected by
such legislation OF course, the rem.
edy in this case can be applied when
the bill is before the Senate. Gen
tlemen may be found in that body
who know something of this game.
Perhaps Morrill,, Hoar, Sherman, Kyle
or PETER would be able to throw some
light upon the subject and prevent
unsophisticated Senators like Gamer
ron, Quay, Vest. Allison, Butler, and
others from unwittingly aiding to leg
alize dangerous innovation.

Blue Ridge mountains, when, poor ana

tolls and triumphs. the fever and the
splendor of his long career, receives nm
lovingly into her breast and sprinkles
above his pale ashes the brightest emblems
of her autumnal glory.
more impressive funeral ceremony, a
longer or more solemn pageant or a more
general outpouring of Atlanta's citizenship
has never been witnessed in this city.
The memorial exercises at the state
capitol were not only appropriate, but
eloquent and touching. AS the tesu-
monals of sorrow fell from the lips of
those who participated in the exercises
all of them the personal and intimate
friends of Senator Brown-there were few
hearts in the vast assembly that did not
throb in response to the impassioned eio-
auence of those who in life had been as
ISOLATED with the illustrious dead.
To condense the homage thus paid to this
great man in a single paragraph of eulosy
it may be summed up in the simple decia-
ration: HE never deserted friend and
never deceived an enemy.
