Fashion Is queen, but if her subjects

and yet the spirit of the law would be
obeyed. This is especially true just
now in the matter of wells.
1t can hardly be doubted that the
necessity if such it was, that invented
wells brought forth what under some
circumstances may be beneficial; but
it is exceedingly doubtful if such praise
can be bestowed upon the articles worn
at the present time.
On a windy and dusty day wells of a
proper sort may be worn with no little
comfort. They not only serve to keep
the wearer from an appearance of un-
tidiness, but are of benefit in protect

Dr. Pynchon Tells the Western Society Of
Engineers How lie Will Construct II.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.--Dr. Edward Pyn-
chon told the Western Society of En-
gineers about the airship which he pro-
poses to build, which will be propelled
by the explosion of dynamite cartridges
and upheld by the system of aerial
planes. He said his vessel would be
similar to that now being built bv
Maxim, with the exception of the
method of propulsion. The doctors
principle is the discharge through tubes,
extending to the rear of the airship. of
series OF dynamite cartridges. These
cartridges are to be discharged under
plate and the elasticity of the air will
act in pushing forward the ship. The
principle is the same as that of the ex-
plosion OF the dynamite on fixed bodies.
The doctor asserts that it would cost
$1.2O minute to move his airship, and
at the rate of 200 miles an hour, it would
make the expense Of passage over the
ocean about vi 900, and the vessel would
carry 20 passengers, thus providing
cheaper transportation than that of
steamers

Ahe Attitude of the Silver Republicans on
the Tariff Bill Defined.

The Attitude of the Silver Republicans on
the Tariff Bill Defined.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The possible
attitude of the silver Republicans, with
reference to the tariff bill, has been the
theme of considerable talk about the
senate since the Wilson bill reached that
body. Inquiry develops the fact that
they Will, without exception, oppose the
bill. This they will do for two reasons
They are protectionists in principle, and
some of them think that if the tariff
could be allowed to remain as
at present, it would be in the
interest Of silver. They argue
that If the tariff is changed and the hard
times continue, many will be disposed
TO find III this change the cause of de-
preston, whereas, if the tariff is allowed
TO remain as 1t is and the times do not
improve, 1t will at once become apparent
that the tariff had not caused the dull
ness OF trade and people may he led to
believe 1t was due to the scarcity OF
money.
While, however, the silver Repub-
llcan senators will oppose the bill, will
vote against it and will make special
efforts to defeat the clauses bearing
upon the special interests of their
respective states, it is probable that
some of them will not aid their Repul-
llcan colleagues in securing delay upon
the passage of the bill
