THE GLOVE IN DAYS OF YORE.

When Venus Pricked Her Finger and Au-
tolycus Sold Gloves "Swcet as Roses"
If the science of knowing people by their
clothes. whose claims are so e!oquently
urged by BalZac, ever come TO be formu-
lated, the chapter on the meaning OF the
glove will not be the least interesting por-
ton of it. There is no article OF clothing
more diversified in its uses. It's apparent
triviality disarms us, and we are inclined
to toy with it lightly as one of the most
agreeable ebullitions of feminine fancy
and forget that anything more serious than
adornment ever caused its use. Jean God
ard. Il French rhymester of the sixteenth
century, wrote poem, in which he told
how Venus, running after AdOnis pricked
her finger ard ordered her maidens to get
leather and make some gloves for her to
protect her hands. But NJ. Godard's pref
ty fancy must give way before stern facts
The primary uses of the glove were stricte7
practical and unromantic.
English DANES of carly days never dream
ed of such subtletes as gloves. They wore
their sleeves long. with pointed flaps, that
rested on the back of their hands, or, when
they went forth in winter, drew the loose
drapery of their outer garment over their
hands. 1t was not till near the close of the
tenth century that they thought OF gloves;
then they wore them with only a thumb
and TO fingers, like the mittens of the pres
ent day, and they were wondrously embroid-
cred and starred with jewels. No gloves
were finer than those of the clergy. They
were mostly of white silk, or linen cum
ningly embroidered, and sometimes fringed
with pearls.
l,an
common wear, and in contemporary pic
lures the nobility seemed to have carried
them rather in their hands or in their gir-
dies than on their fingers. 1t was by the
fine gloves his page carried in his girdle
that Ceur de Lion was betrayed on his
way home from the crusade, and 10 fell
into captivity.
But already the glove was more than a
mere bit of foppery. The knights mailed
glove sheltered his hand. 1t became Il
sign Of power, and when a gracious lord
meant to signify his intention to protect a
town he sent his glove as a sign Of his
willingness. The glove, too, was the token
of defiance when one knight declared war
against another, and at the same time, as
il to mark the difference between the strong
right hand of man and the daintier hand
of woman, he bound his mistress delicate
broidered glove to his helmet by way of
showing his fealty. As the sign and test
of love, gloves had been largely utilized.
By the sixteenth century gloves were
common wear, together with farthingales,
corsets and low gowns. Gloves were per-
fumed greatly. Autolycus sold the maids
gloves as sweet as damask roses" In
Charles lis time the shortening of the
sleeves led to the frightening of gloves.

4 Curious Custom.

The custom of bottling tears is peculiar
to the people of Persia. There it consti-
tutes an important part of the obsequies of
the dead. AS the mourners are sitting
round and weeping. the master of ceremo-
mics presents each with piece of cotton
wool or sponge with which to wipe away
the tears. This cotton wool or sponge is
afterward squeezed into bottle, and the
tears are preserved MS powerful and efiica-
cious restorative for those whom every other
medicine has failed to revive. 1t is to this
custom that allusion is made in Psalms lvi,
S-"Put thou thy tears into thy bottle"

New YORK, Nov. 10.-Onc or two
districts in Missouri are still i'll doubt,
but unless the official figures show a
change the delegation from that state
will consist of eleven republicans and
four democrats. Bland is defeated.
but Dockery and Tarsney arc safe.
The defeat of Downing dem i'll the
Sixteenth Illinois district, by Rinaker

(dem.), in the Eighth Pennsylvania dis
trict, over Kirkpatrick (rep.), who was
supposed to have been successful.
BY the election of Catron (rep.) in
New Mexico the entire Territorial del
egation in the next congress-four in
number-is sure to conform politically
to the dominant party.
The Texas delegation will be eleven
democrats, one republican and one
populist
Fridays changes, as noted, make the
total strength of the several parties in
the next house of representatives as
follows: Republicans, 245; democrats
100; populists, IL.
Changes will probably be made in
several of the state delegations after
the new congress shall have been or
ganized, notice having been given that
contests will be made by defeated can
didates in several states, notably Ala
bama, South Carolina and Virginia.

MORE BONDS.
An Arrangement WITH Syndicate for
the Much Needed Gold.
Interest on bke New bonds VIII he About
Three Per Cent. Net-Uudcr No Circum-
stances VIII the Gold Reserve lie
Allowed to Go Below ss5O.o0O,OOo.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1o.-It can be
stated in the most definite manner that
bond sale has been decided upon by
the Cleveland administration. This is
an official confirmation of the rumor
which first originated in New York cir
cles that claimed to have information
of private negotiations by personal
friend of President Cleveland.
Until his visit to Woodley Saturday
night Secretary of the Treasury Car
Isle knew nothing of the presidents
arrangements with syndicate to OBJ
tain the much needed gold for the
treasury reserve. up to that time Mr..
Carlisle denied that bond sale was
imminent Now he admits it.
The idea of the secretary of the
treasury that congress would first be
appealed to for authority to issue a
low rate bond was shared by many
well-posted people in Washington who
shared Mr.. Carlisle's condolences
: President Cleveland, however, has had
one experience with congress on this
subject, and when the necessary arises
for him to act again he will not wait
for discussion in the capitol, which
will certainly be prolonged for weeks
and may result in nothing.
The present plan is to ignore con-
gress and under no circumstances per-
init the gold reserve to fall below $780,
OO0, ,OO0 1t is now dangerously near
sec, ,o0O 600. Any run on this amount
for export will have to be anticipated.
So that there is but little margin and
To- 40 f1, ha off
The treasury is entirely at the mercy
of the New York banks. If they do
not care to part with their gold the ad-
ministration will be in a bad plight in
an emergency. Therefore it is deemed
absolutely necessary to make terms
with them in advance, so that there
will be no hitch in floating the bonds.
Several big trust companies in New
York hold about 10000, 900 in gold
which they are willing to invest in
government bonds. In the event of a
500, ,OO0,O 600 bond sale the banks outside
of New York have not got the money.
The official returns of the gold hold
ings of the national banks in the prin-
cipal cities on October o last show that
the banks of Boston on that day had in
gold $1,000, ,22s; of Philadelphia, So.
1885, ,73s: of Chicago, Eel, ,049,3 ,343, while
on that day the New York banks held

| gold holdings of the twenty-four re
serve cities was S14O, o.446; thus il
will be seen that New York held more
than half of the total amount in the
reserve cities.
The last sale of S5O,OOO,0Oo of pc,

about $3s, 900, 900 in gold, the rest of the
purchase money being paid in lega

ANARCHISTS DUMPED. II.''
They Were Going to Attend a DEM
onstration in tho Gene Sery
In Memory of Spies, Parsons, Fischer, Lingg
and Engel--A Number of the Passen-
gers We're Injured, But None Seri-
ously-AH Johann Most Speaks.


CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Fifteen hundred
anarchists went out to Waldheim Sum
day afternoon to attend demonstra-
tion in memory of Spies, Parsons,
Fischer, Lingg and Engel, who, except
Lingg. who committed suicide, were
hanged for the part they took in the
Haymarket riot. Herr Most addressed
the assemblage. About one thousand
of the red-bedecked men paraded the
streets Sunday, and marched to the
Wisconsin Central depot, where they
boarded train of twelve cars. The
train was wrecked, however, at Forti-
eth street, and the passengers experi-
enced some difficulty in reaching their
destination.
The place of the wreck was junction.
AS the train approached it at rate OF
about twenty-five miles an hour the
engineer noticed that the switch was
set for che wrong track, and blew his
whistle. AS the front of the engine
went over the switch, the switchman
shifted the lever, sending the front
trucks of the engine on one
track and the other wheels on
another track. The engineer and
fireman jumped just in time to save
themselves, though the engineer may
die, being injured internally. The en-
gine is total wreck, and with the
front car of the train now lies a few
feet from the track, bottom side up.
The car which turned over was crowd
cd until there was not standing room
for another person. The doors and
windows were shut, and could not be
opened, SO no one could get out until
after an exit had been cut. A number
of passengers were badly bruised.
One man had his hand SO badly mashed
that his fingers will have to be ampu.
tated.
The anarchists reached their desti.
nation by walking mile to Madison
street and going out on electric cars.
1t was slow way of transporting such
crowd, as there were but few cars
running, the cemetery was finally
reached, and wreaths of flowers, most.
ly red in color, were placed on the
graves of the five dead anarchists.
The first speech of the day was made
by Z. NJ. Quinn, and, for analchistie
discourse, was exceeding mild.
The crowd was cautioned to keer
quiet, but forgot itself when Herr
Most, the New York agitator, appeared
Herr Mosts style seemed to take well
and prolonged applause was frequent
The speaking of Herr Most in Chi
cago has caused more than little
trouble in anarchistic circles. One
faction did not want him, and, under
the leadership of Tommy Morgan
held special memorial in the West
Side Turner hall. Much bad feeling
has been caused, and it is believed thai
a permanent split has been caused il
| the societies of anarchism.
Trouble was experienced by the an
archists in getting permission to hole
their celebration in the cemetery. ant
had it been known by the officials tina
Herr Most was to speak, the request t.
| use the cemetery for the occasion
would have been refused.

A,exander,s Remains at Moscow.

Moscow, Nov. 1o.-The imperial
party, with the body of Alexander III,
arrived here Sunday. The day, was
dull, the thermometer was two de-
grees below the freezing point, and a
north wind blew throughout the
day. Although thousands were busy
all night putting the city in mourn
ing for the late ear, the streets
at daybreak looked as if some
great festival was to be celebrated.
But for the heavy folds of black which
hung high and low on all walls, per-
son would have thought that the
crowds thronging every corner and
open space had come to celebrate ma
tional holiday, rather than to lament
the death of powerful monarch.
Such universal activity, and such enor-
nous number of peasants, tourists and
soldiers had not been seen here since
the coronation of Alexander H., more
than ten years ago.

Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-In contirma-
tion of the suggestion that VIM. L.
Wilson, of West Virginia, may possibly
be one of the presidents official fam
lily after March next, the statement
is made upon excellent authority that
Chairman Wilson was the only candi-
date in the present campaign in whom
the president took sufficient interest to
induce him to send goodly-sized
check to aid him in his contest.
1t is also recalled that Mr. Wilson
was President Cleveland's personal
choice for permanent chairman of the
Chicago convention; that he was the
presidents personal preference for
chairman of the house committee of
ways and means, and that he was
generally accepted as being the best
posted exponent of the presidents
views on the floor of the house.

PROCLAMATION.
The Governors Call for the Observance of
Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 6.-Gov. McKin-
ley Monday issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
From our forefathers has come the
commendable custom of setting apart
one day in the year for special thanks
giving to Almighty God for His loving
kindness to us, individually and as
nation. Therefore, ], William McKin-
ley, governor of Ohio, conforming to
this custom and the action of the presi
dent of the United States, do call upon
the people of our state to observe
Thursday, the Goth day of November,
as Thanksgiving day. 1t is fitting that
upon that day we abstain from our
usual employments, and in public
way, in our accustomed places of wor-
ship, offer ''the sacrifice of thanksgiv-
ing" to the Universal Father to whom
we are indebted for every good and
perfect gift, for peace throughout our
land, for freedom from pestilence, and
for the bounteousness with which He
has rewarded our husbandmen. This
is also fitting occasion for family re-
unions and for the cultivation of those
domestic and social virtues which arc
the foundation of our national life and
the best assurance of its stability and
security. In our thanksgiving let us
not fail to remember the less fortunate
among us, but let us set aside a por-
tion from our Righteousness for the re-
lief of the poor and the needy. May
the day and it's observance kindle in
our hearts sympathy for the suffering
and the afflicted so that we may make
manifest our thanksgiving for Gods
far0rs to us in charity and good works.

ADVICE TO HUNTERS.
They Should Read the New Quail Law
Before killing the Birds.


Before killing the Birds.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 10--As the quail
season opens to-day, an event to which
sportsmen look forward with great ex-
pectations, it might be well for them
while frightening up their guns for a
big shoot, to look askance at the last
and most exacting quail law passed,
and by so doing avoid any unnecessary
trouble. The quail law of Ohio comes
forth with an evident desire on the
part of the legislators to get all the
quail they possibly can, and keep all
they get. BY the law the sale of quail
in the markets of the state is not an
offense, but to kill quail at any time
for the purpose of selling them is an
offense punishable with S25 fine.
The person killing the bird is the Of
fender.
No quail can be sent out of the state
that has been killed within its borders.
The offenders are the persons killing
and the persons transporting them.
Ohio wants all the quail she can get,
inside or outside of the state. She is
an epicurean on toast. According to
the written opinion of Attorney GEN.
eral Richards, the construction of the
law is as follows:
/. The act does not prohibit the sale
Of quail in the markets of this state,
but it does make it an offense to kill
quail at any time for the purpose of
sale in the markets of this state.
The person who kills the quail for
such purpose is the offender, who should
be prosecuted.
Q. The act makes it an offense for
any person to kill quail at any time for
the purpose of conveying them beyond
the limits of this state, and also makes
it an offense for any person to trans
port, or have in possession with intent
to procure the transportation beyond
the state, of any quail killed within
the state. Not only the person who
kills quail for transportation beyond
the state, but the person who trans
ports the birds beyond the state, or
who has the birds in his possession
with intent to procure their transpor-
tation beyond the state, is guilty of a
violation of this act, and liable to pros
ecution,
