GOOD GRADING IMPORTANT.



tice OF Economy Is Costly.
Macadamized roads on extremely
steep grades or on extremely fiat ones
are difficult to maintain in good condi-
tion and create constant expense. The
steep grade is OF course Objectionable to
traffic from the fact that it places a
limit to the maximum load that can be
hauled over the road without additional
hauling power. One such grade on Il
road may involve the necessity of send
ing tow team with every heavily la
den wagon. Many of these extra teams
will have to travel several miles to and
from the steep grade in question simply
for the purpose of assisting the load up
that one hill. You can readily figure
the annual loss to the individuals and
determine at once whether the eXpendi-
ture of comparatively large amount
would not have heen judicious, in view
of the facb that a permanent saving
would have been effected forever there.
after. But the steep grade, besides being
Objectionable and costly, adds another
element of expense in that it increases
the cost of maintenance. 1t is liable
to be secured by heavy rains. The
sliding movement of descending vehicles
is injurious to it, especially if brakes are

COLONEL LAWLER. 1898, and promi-
nent members of the order from all
parts of the country We're present to as
sist at the ceremonies and offer their
congratulations. He will have many
friends at the next national encamp-
ment, which meets in Pittsburg during
the week beginning Sept. 10 next, and
not few of them are confident of his
election to the highest dignity in the or
ganiZation.
Colonel Lawler served throughout the
war with the famous Nineteenth regi-
ment of Illinois volunteers and gained an
honorable record as soldier. He was in
all the battles in which his regiment took
part and was mustered out as first ser
geant with the brevet of captain. His
title of colonel came to him through his
connection with the national guard, in
which he served for a dozen years or
more. After the war he went to work
for his father-in-law, who was a miller,
and was driving one of the mill teams
when he was elected and appointed post
master of Rockford.
The secret of the unusual procedure Of
electing postmaster lay in the fact that
there was such a scramble for the office
that no one seemed able to decide who
should have it, and it was decided to
leave the matter to popular vote. Colo
mel Lawler won by large majority and
held the office for two terms prior to
Cleveland's first administration, when
he vacated it in favor of Democrat,
only to be reappointed by President Har-
rison without the formality of petition
and without OnnNSitiOn He took TO noli-
ties naturally and soon achieved promi-
hence in his party. He was close friend
of General John A. Logan, whom he
greatly admired and closely resembles.
Colonel Lawler was born in England of
Irish parents so years ago and has lived
in Rockford since he was 10 years old.

Ll8ERTY'S LIGHT.

Think Of Liberty trying to enlighten the
world with an extinguished torch in her
uplifted Observation-Disclosures Record.
New York ought to have pride enough to
keep the torch of Liberty burning, even if
she does have to foot the bill-Boston
Globe.
1t would be poor economy to extinguish
the torch in the statue of Liberty in New
York harbor In order to save the cost of the
oil.-Buffalo Express.
How can Liberty "enlighten the world"
for nothingi Ten thousand dollars a year
is not too much to pay for such an illumina-
American.
Considering all that Bartholdi's statue Of
Liberty stands for as a tribute of interna-
tional friendliness, it seems ungracious to
permit its torch to be extinguished.-Bos-

II seems difficult to convince the repub-
of the parliamentary knowledge and skill
in that body, but they were very cleverly
outwitted by the democrats this week in a
scheme of their own putting up. A re-
publican caucus decided to spring the i'm
mediate consideration of the Bland bill
for the coinage of the seigniorage, which
passed the house last week, on the senate,
counting upon the vote of the populists,
and upon forcing the silver democrats to
choose between tariff and silver, their idea
10, ing TO keep the Bland bill before the
senate for an indefinite period, in order to
prevent consideIatiun of the tariff bill.
The democrats learned of this programme
and gave the republicans a surprise they
have not vet recovered from, by taking the
initiative in getting the Bland bill before
the senate Senator Voorhees, stating that
rs it would probably be about ten days be-
fore the tariff bill would be ready for the
consideration of the senate. and that that
time WAS ample for the disposition of the
Band bill. Senator Sherman made an in
effrctual effort to have the Bland bill sent
to committee.

variety OF lace is not required a very pretty
gown may be produced at slight cost, at
least for the materials. OF course the
dressmaker's bill is large whether she does
her work we'll or i'll. 1t is a good plan for
everybody to have at least a little knowl-
edge of dressmaking, enough to allow of
the venture of making hin summer
gowns at home, even if more expensive
goods are put into professional hands. To
pay So for the making up of materials
that cost less than So seems scarcely a
reasonable outlay when the purse is only
moderately supplied.
The home dresSmaker will find that
skirt and sleeve patterns are more to be
relied upon than cOrsage patterns unless
she has the latter cut specially to measure.
If she has not and doubts her ability to
adapt II selected from the general cata-
logue, she may make the skirt and have O
regular dreSsmaker cut and fit the bodice,
which she herself can afterward trim to
match the skirt. If it is intended that
much dressmaking shall be lone at home,
the easiest way IS to go TO a good tailor
and have a pattern cut to measure. This
Will give a correct foundation upon which
to construct a variety Of gowns both for
street and evening wear.
1t should be borne in mind that. next to
a good pattern, a hot fatiron is the dress
makers best aid TO the achievement of a
Workmanlike result. Seams, hens, fac
ings and ~buttOnholes should be conscien-
t1ously pressed as soon as they are finish

particular reference TO heavy goods, al
though mUslins will look the better for

modern capacity as "a piquant accessory
which conceals lmperfectiOns and displays
beauty" Her advice is characterized by
good taste and is worth remembering:
The veil par excellence is the white
one, with black dots. 1t gives a look of
freshness to the complexion and adds to
the effect of the eyes. The all white veil is
only suitable for a brunette with a clear
skin. A plain black veil is not becoming
to any one, but a black one, with black
dots, is becoming to everybody. Never
wear a red, viOlekor blue veil, as it gives
a slckly and unnatural tint to the most
beautiful complexion in the world"
The pretty alpine and crush crowned
straw hats with wide curled brims are
coming into great popularity. They are a
relief from the ubiquitous rigidity of the
sailor hat and thereby fill a long felt
want. The sailor hat is really only suit
able for children and young girls, but it
has been the only sort of outing headwear,
short of caps, provided for women for
years past. These new shapes are more
digniied and more generally becoming,
and it is to be hoped that they have come
to stay. They may be trimmed with the
severe band and dunlap bow or may be
softened in effect by the addition of a
chou Of ribbon, a bunch of violets or a
tuft of black or white cocks feathers.
An illustration is given of a hat having
a berretta crown Of green straw and a brim
of plated black lace. 1t is trimmed with
black gauze ribbon having MORE stripes,
which surrounds the crown and forms a
at the left side of the front, held in
place by a jet ornament.
