Hon. John W. Daniel.
(StauntOn POst,)

The sneech of Senator Daniel here yes
terday afternoon was pitched upon q
higher kew than most political campaign
sneeches-in fact, IL was essentially
great educational address. built upon the
solid foundation OF facts and joined win
the framework OF logic; It occasionally
1loved with impassloned outbursts OF
eloouence. Those who expected a purely
oratorical effort were disappointed, anu
those who had allowed their preJudices
To paint the speaker as a mere SKY
rocket orator, dealing only In poetic
eights of fancy and rounded rhythmic
periods were agreeably surprised. They
heard instead a mastery argument, a
plain. powerful, busness-like presenta-
tIon of business questions TO business
men. clothed. Il Is true, In the chaste die
tion that marks all the efforts OF
polisi ed speaker, and flashing at times
with brilliant bursts OF eloquence, Dut
essentially speech bristllng with faets
bound together by bands Of logic.
But above all, We believe that poiucai
friend and foe alike were impressed most
with the speakers earnestness, MS eiet'
cut Independent convictions, and his able
and courageous maintenance OF them.
He did not recede one iota from his we'll
known position on any question, even
where his convictions are not In perfect
accord with those OF many OF his party
leaders But he impressed his own
honesty OF purpose upon his hearers
We believe that the majority OF people
in his audience yesterday now realize
that Mr.. Daniels retirement from the
senate would be not merely State. but
a national calamity. Even were his
tongue not touched with the fire or eio-
ouence. his sturdy honesty. his splendid
intellect. and his dauntless courage make
him Indispensable to the nation And II
he ever retires from Congress. We pre-
dict that It will be OF his own choice.

The Care of Shoes.
Written for the Dlspatch.)

fMIlt lDT the DlSptltHJ
There Is hardly a woman but laments
over the rather perverse way in which
her shoes lose their shape. 1t matters
little whether they be cheap or expensive,
soles will return, heels run down. vamp
wrinkle, and the toes turn up. This con-
dition is the despair of neat and dainty
women who wish their belongings to sig
Nifty the fact.
l looked into this matter among the
bootmakers this week. There must be
some remedy for such widespread evil,
so ! questioned them.
For run down heels they told me. no
remedy exists but TO have them built up.
This is not only good, but necessary for
the preservation of the shoes correct
shape. One should be as watchful of this
as of a rip in a glove. and as quickly
careful to remedy ii. When the least
wearing shows on the bottom or side OF
the heel. take the boot Immediately TO the
shop and have a new layer put on. 1t Is
a good plan never 10 allow the defect 10
reach 4 stage when two layers must be
renewed. This watchfulness unquestion-
ably IS the stitch in time that saves nine.
The reason for this is apparent. When
the heels run down the weight comes on
the ball Of the foot; there is no steadiness,
the shoe rocks and the sides OF the soles
20. The un1ercurve of the instep Is
turned into an unga!nly line, and the shoe
is out Of form.
Women who walk on one side OF the
foot quickly wear away the leather and
sole where they meet; they should have
their boot-maker 10 put oh an extra six
teenth OF an inch depth in the sole on
that side This throws the weight equally
on both sides OF the shoe and prevents the
one part giving way before the other.
For wrink.ing that disiigGres the
yamp nothing serves the purpose so well
as the use OF trees" These cost from
$3.50 TO s. a pair. Each shoe should be
placed over one as soon as taken OH.
The shape is entirely preserved by thls
method. These trees are az expensive as
a pair Of low shoes. but one pair lasts
forever. They are one of the necessary
luXurles for every neat woman.
Some bOot-makers suggest that the
reason of patent-leather vamps wrinkl!ng
so pronouncedly on women's shoes is
because the leather Is taken from the
neck of the calf, where the skin is thin
ner, while that for men Is taken from
the back and sides.
After the shoes are removed II Is nice
TO dip a sponge in a weak solution OF
ammonia and pass 1t over the inside oi
the shoe, then when ii dries. put them
I'm the sun for awhile. This removes all
the unpleasant odor that attaches ltseli
from no reason Of uncleanliness, to the
inside of ones shoes.
Evening slippers should be stuffed win
tissue paper and rolled IN 1t after beng
worn. The correct mode in winter SHOES
are russell calfskin tops on heavy leather
bottoms. with a straight tip OF patent
leather. Five large fiat buttons fasten 1t.
This is the only deviation from last

NEW YORK, September ss.-With the
swift fyin,, Of autumn days the question
arises. What are the little ones to wear
next?"
But one thing at least Is certain.
none or very few Of the liliputian gar
ments that did duty year ago can be
pressed into service for this october's use.
Small bodies grow fast; indeed like the
enchanted bean vine in the fairy tale
they seem to alter in a single night; ana
with 1t all fashions for children change
quite as often as do those for their grown
