These are busy times at the Headquarters of
the Congressional Campaign Committees. There
is even more than usual interest in the Fall
elections this year. The Democrats have got
TO make satisfactory showing, and the Repub-
iieans must put out arguments against il, and
show what the Democrats have not done, aud
what they have done badly. Upon these two
committees devolye the labor of disseminating
speeches, statistics dodgers, and other partisan
papers to prove that their respective party is
right, and that the other is wrong, on ali public
questions. The Republicans think that they
have excellent campaign material man ufactured
by the Democrats themselves, and propose TO
use IL against the party in power for all it is
worth. For instance, Bourke Cockrau's arrign.

actions. Things like this are Just meat" for
the opposition. Then. of course, mastery

Considerable interest was aroused among
Westinghouse last week by the announce
meut from New York that Capt Henry w.
Howgate, formerly Chief of the Weather Bu-
reau here. had been arrested on the charges of
forgery and embezzlement of 100000 CON-
mtted in 1873 and 1879. The arrest was the
result of a search by the Secret Service, which
has lasted for over - years. Howgate was
found as dealer in old books and pamphlets,
under the name Of Harvey Williams, and has
been living with woman who is known as
Mrs Williams, but who has been recognized as
Nettie BurTill who the cause of his down

and followed him from the city, after aiding
him to escape in 1882
Howgates history is romantic He had led
double life for many years-supported two
establishments. When the whole story came
out with the discovery of the peculation of the
Signal Corps funds, and Howgate was thrown
iato Jail, Hettie Burrill left the house, and his
wife took up the abode from which the mans
intimate had departed, on Thirteenth street,
near g. Now. HowgaLe was very fastidious.
and after much remonstrance against the bath
tub he was forced TO Csc in the Jail, he was AL
lowed TO make periodical visits to his house to
indulge il lavatory exercises On one occas-
ion the officers who accompanied the accused
allowed themselves to forget their prisoner in
listening to the conversation and piano playing
of Miss Howgate, aud the while Capt Howgate
slipped out the back way, got into carriage
4 the corner, which contained Nettie Burrill,
and SO escaped, not to be recaptured until last
week. For two years past he has made his
home in New York City.
II is probable that Capt. Howgate's trial will
come up in the next two months. The maxi.
mum punishment for embezzlement is So. DOG
fine or Imprisonment for five years, or both :;
the maximum punishment for the first ofFeLse
in forgery is not less than year in prison nor
more than seven years

The United States Strike Commission held
meetings in this city last week TO determine
whether further testimony needed, and TO
hear or receive further suggestions with refer
enee TO remedies that might be volunteered.
The law only contemplated an official investi-
cation of the strike, the determination of its
causes. the conditions surrounding it, and sug
gestions looking to a remedy to be used as a
basis of action should any legislation looking
TO the correction of any existing evil be deemed
necessary or advisable. The Commission is in
no sense judicial body, and has no power to
condemn any of the parties. 1t is simply to
report the facts, with such recommendations as
may seem to it proper. Only two witnesses
appeared before the Commission while here.
Col Wright, Chairman of the Commission, then
declared the public hearings closed, and the
Commission went into secret session to discuss
the report to be made TO the President. II was
decided for the present not to make public
anything concerning its nature. The remedies
suggested include every possible cure of exist
ing social aud economic conditions-ar
tion, Government ownership of railroads. and
naturalization of land, and other suggestions
of extreme reformers. The Commission finally
adjourned until the last week in October.

Mrs. Peary, wife of the Arctic explorer, was
in the city last week, and in an interview re-
garding her husbands project said:
at is a mistake 10 alude to my husband as
a seeker for the North Pole. His object has
been, and still is, to delneate the northern
coast of Greenland. No one can tell how far
Greenland extends northward, and Lieut.. Peary
says that if it goes to the pole he will go there
too but no matter how high it runs. he is de-
termined to follow it,"
"Will you return to your husband next
year," queried the reporter.
That depends upon the American people"
responded the energetic woman with CHEEKY
smile. My husband and myself have about
reached the end of our resources in Quitting
the expedition, and have expended something
over $4,000. l have made no plans yet, but
will see the President of the American Geo
graphical Society in New York shortly. If it
is possible 1 shall fit out ship next Summer
and return to Greenland.

According to some of the stories afioat we
women are very spiteful creatures. One
story, great favofite just now, is of two West
ern women, Mrs Adams and Mrs. Brown, who
were rivals for the leadership of the society i'll
their town. They have had several engage
ments. but in their last one Mrs. Adams seems
to have come off overwhelmingly successful.
She sent out cards for big entertainment
and took special pains TO find out what Mrs
Brown was going to wear that night. Mrs.
Browns costume was to be of gorgeous bro
caded satin. What did Mrs. Adams do but
have all the walls on her lower floor draped
with the same material-her husband was in
terested in dry-goods establishment in the
town. OF course this completely spoiled the
effect of Mrs. Browns costume, The story
probably is entirely imaginary, tor the triumph
would be small the expense and decorations
big, and hostess would have to disregard all
the rules of courtesy and grace to deliberately
make guest uncomfoI table but it is inter
esting as showing an ingenious imagination
and certain belief in woman's infinite spite
fulness.

Nearly 1000 in Massachusetts, Alone, Due
Chiefly to a Desire for City Life.
Nine hundred and seventy-eight of
these abandoned or partially aban-
doned farms in Massachusetts were re-
ported to the state board of agricul-
ture in 1892, over three hundred in
New Hampshire and as many more in
Vermont and in Connecticut. In COM
menting on this singular state of af-
fairs the Massachusetts, bureau of sta
tistics of labor notes an increase in
this class of property in townships
where the value of the manufacturing
product predominates and a decrease
In those townships in which the agri-
cultural product exceeds in value that
of the factories Touching the causes
of this abandonment the report says:
There is strange fascination in city
life which has always existed and
which leads many who are under its
spell to prefer poverty and privation in
the city to independence and comfort
in the country. This fascination is in
tensifed by the undoubted benefits
which the modern city offers to those
within or near it. And yet it must be
admitted that the promise which leads
to the abandonment of country life is
frequently unfulflled. The movement
from the country toward the city may
affect, indeed has affected, the labor
market in two ways; it may lead to a
- 1oI irof ha DO
pleted districts, thus adding to the
burdens which in too many cases the
farmer already bears, and it may in
tensify the competition to which the
city laborer is subjected, both as to
employment and as to wages. This
competition reacts upon those who
come to the city for the purpose of i'm
proving their fortunes, only to find the
opportunities open to them constantly
growing less. On the other hand, the
life of the farmer, Notwithstanding its
burdens, was never so easy in many re-
spects as at present. The improve
ments due to modern invention have
lightened farm labor, while the rail
road, the telegraph and the press have
brought the most retired farms into
communication with the activities of
the age. The farmer may not be able
to amass wealth, nor can the majority
of those in cities hope to do so. He is
generally sure of comfortable living
as the reward of his toll, and the con-
tingencies that affect his employment
are usually no greater than those af-
fecting employment in cities. If OPP
portunities for large profits are not
open to him he is relieved from the
risk incidental to such opportunities.
That some of the burdens under which
he suffers might be and ought to be
removed is undeniable: but there are
those in the city, working for low
wages, liable to periodical employ
ment, to whom life on the abandoned
farm would offer an agreeable change
only they must first be convinced that
such a change is desirable.

gle till they reached the center of the
group, where they suddenly became
lost In admiration of leather culver
full OF arrows worn by one of the In
dams. They priced it at once. The
sum named was SO fabulously large
that they relinquished the culver with
a sigh. But each girl purchased an ar
row. And, of course, those arrows
were exhibited at the boarding-ho
that night with the remark that they
were purchased from "a real Indian!''
The next day the same young women
were at the Javanese village, when
their eyes fell upon some more arrows.
In a weak moment they yielded, and
Javanese arrow, ''bought from a real
Javanese," was placed with the Navajo
weapon. That settled it. Dahomey-
ans, South Sea Islanders, Japanese,
Chinese, every nation which boosted
an arrow, contributed specimen, and
now those two girls are rabid collect
ors.
A list of the fads which sprung into
life and were nourished into vigor at
the fair would be amusing enough. One
woman who began as mere joke, to
purchase two or three of the ''souven-
irs" which were for sale in almost
infinite variety, finally became such a
full-fedged collector, that she econo-
mized on meals, walked instead OF
rode, and finally took a cheaper room
N order to make her souvenir collec-
ton as complete as possible. She had
nothing which did not bear the words:
Columbian Exposition" or: "World's
Fair" or some other reference to the
fair. Everything, from little red
glass es with the name engraved ''while
you wait" silk handkerchiefs with a
picture of Columbus woven in them
also while you wait" to canes con
tanning maps of the grounds, souvenir
coins and models of the buildings
were put into collection which is
really most interesting one, although
of scarcely any intrinsic value.

THE Roman characters were first

THE Greek garments were frequent
ly woven in gorgeous patterns and
embroidered with gold and silver.
AUGUSTUS was not the public bene-

most exacting tax collector the Roman
world had up to his time ever seen.
THE ancient Philippians sailed the
bodies of their dead and hung them up
in smokehouse to be dried and cured.
They were thus kept for a year, when,
perfectly preserved, they were turned

WORLDS FAIR FADS.
The Rage for Collecting Souvenirs
of the Great Exposition.
One Woman Who Even Economical Oh
Her Meals in Order to Crafty
Her Desire for Column
bian Curios.

An epidemic of fads has set in as a
direct result of the worlds fair. Peo-
pie who had held out long and stoutly
against the temptation to "collect"
things came under the spell at the
White City, says the New York Sun.
A critical analysis of the fad fever
has yet to be written. 1t is contracted
in various ways. 1t is with fads as it
is with greatness. Some people are
born with fads, some acquire them,
and others have fads thrown upon
them. Of this last variety are the peo-
pie who have, by chance perhaps, re-
eeived a present or presents, which
have subtly inspired them with the
mania for acquiring other things of the
same nature. In this way, for exam
pie, many fine and otherwise admir-
able young woman has, by the gift OF
perhaps a single silver spoon, been
transformed into one of the spoon
fends who have been at once such try
ing, and yet such pathetic, figures dur
ing the past few years.
Other people acquire fads. They
take them up" These are the people
who have more money than they have
tastes. They crafty their small lik-
ings without exhausting their 'spend-
ing money" SO to speak, and they
stake up fad for teapots, or fans, or,
in general, anything that they have
heard some one else is collecting.
And there are the born faddists.
They are the people who have a single
strong fancy or love for something
The man who collects musical instru-
ments because he cannot help it prob
ably loved them when he was baby
and the real bibliomaniac doubtless
never had to be reproved when he was
an infant for tearing the leaves of his
picture books.
But the exposition faddists were Gre
ated in still another way. They are
the creatures of circumstances. Never
were such opportunities for collecting
curiosities presented to the American
public before. 1t is not strange that
the victims have been many. Some
times the merest trifes laid down the
law of the coming fad. For instance
two New York girls, were passing
along the Court of Honor, in front Of
the Agricultural building. All the
white facades cleaned in the sunlight
and troop of Navajo Lldians crossing
the court looked SO picturesque that
they soon had crowd around them
The two girls pressed through the PEG

THE BRIDAL WREATH.
Materials of Which the Emblem Is Gen
orally Made.


No wreath has been so sung by poets
and rhymesters as that which graces
the head of the bride on her wedding
day, says the New York Advertiser,
and in most countries the myrtle is
closely associated with the bridal
wreath. The latter has become sym
Dol of true womanliness, of purity of
mind and soul, and even Schiller is
among those who have sung its praises.
In the time of the Old Testament the
Jews saw in the myrtle sign of what,
for them, was most beautiful and
precious-the promised land for which
they were always longing. Later on,
among the Greeks, the myrtle and the
rose were considered the favorite flow
ers of Venus, the goddess of love, and
gardens of myrtle were planted in her
honor, with beds of roses, the red rose
and the green myrtle representing the
union of love and virtue. Nowadays
the myrtle has, however, several rivals.
In America, in England, in France and
in Poland the orange blossom reigns
supreme; in Italy the white rose has
taken the place of evergreen and
fragrant myrtle wreath. In Spain the
red rose and in Portugal the carnation
have supplanted it. In many parts of
Germany there are several distinct
customs to be observed. The sprigs
from which the wreath shall be twined
must in some places be taken at fixed
hour of the night between certain holy
days. In some countries or districts
the veil is used without the wreath.
In the province of Dalarne, in Sweden,
the bride wears white cloth round
her head, and in several countries the
bridal wreath has, in the course of
time, taken the shape of a more or less
elaborate headgear or wedding crown.
This is the case in Norway and in
several places in Germany. In Alien
burg it takes the shape of red velvet
cap, round which run thirteen silver
rings, from which are suspended a
number of silver and gold plates and
coins A veil and profusion of float
ing silk ribbons in gay colors complete
the bridal crown. In Denmark the
myrtle is universally used for bridal
wreaths, together with long white
veil. Many families possess myrtle
trees, which have for quite a genera
ton or more furnished the myrtle
wreaths for the brides of the family.
