The big railroad strike continues,

country. If this order is generally
obeyed it will add about 100000 t.

 Coffee colored straw is used with brown trimmings or with black in all the popular hat shapes and harmoni- zes with brown and black charming ly. If you want q hat that will do to wear with all your clothes, get coffee colored English walking straw trimmed with black rnoire and black cocks feather It will go with all gowns that have black or brown in them. For the light gowns, you can get a very inexpensive straw sailor with a white ribbon band. A white leghorn with roses and ribbon for trimming, or a white mull shirred hat, will with a yachting cap, give you all the changes you want for an ordinary summer. If you are about choosing simple and sensible shade hat for a child of twelve. a pretty model is shown which is made of coarse yellow straw, and trimmed with broad navy ribbon ar- ranged in big loops on the crown. This hat is an excellent one for the shore or country, as it offers nothing for damp ness to take tho curl out of.
 For the street in the city, rough straws of moderate brim are shown, and not too coquettish as to shape.

1 REsOLUTION.

The man who wrote the resolutions which were adopted by the illinois Dem- ocratic State convention Is evidently n conscientious man, md he Is also not devoid of humor. This Is tho way he got around ono 0. tho difficulties thnt confronted him when he tool; his pen in hand: "we endorse the action of Presi- dent Cleveland, and the public services of all Democrats in executive md legis- lative stations, in nll things that they have done to give force md effect to the principles of the party as laid down by the Chicago convention of ls92.h This Is sound and hearty ns fnr ns 1t goes. It indicates that tho Illinois Democrats nre ns good Demo- crats as there arc in the land, and that they think tho Chi cnso platform was m honest one. They cordially endorse President Cleve- land and his assistants and cuckoos in so far as they have done anything to give force and effect to the Democratic principles laid down in the Chicago platform. And there they stop. They ought 10 have furnished diagram with the resolution. There should have been some specification of what has been done 10 give force and effect to the principles laid down at Chicago. For instance, the Sugar schedule and other steps toward free trade. A resolution shouldn't be too vague, even If it Is for political use. And political resolution should be entirely solemn. It shouldn't have even suspicion of joke in it.

ADrum Majors Duties.


 Like poets, drum majors are born, not made. One man may become a drum major in a week, while you can't make one of another in lifetime. Without the knack of handling the stick he will never be an artist and will, probably at the very moment when he should look his juantiest, com init the crime, unpardonable in drum major, of dropping his left hand to his side. For the left hand should always. except in two-handed movements with the staff. rest, knuckles up, on the hip. Thus the drum majors pose, when not marching or giving 8 command, Is to stand with his left hand on his hip, his right hand grasping his stick just below the head, the point of che stick resting on the ground. He presents. a fine, imposing figure as he stands there, erect and tall, two paces in front of the band. Now comes the moment, 50 glorious to the small boy, when the commands. Play and Forward March" are to be given. Facing the band, the drum major, with a quick turn of the wrist, points the ferule up ward. letting it slant a little to the right. Then, raising his staff to the height of his chin, he thrusts 1t the full length of his arm to the right, and draws 1t back again. This is the. sig nal to play. Then turning, he points the staff to the front, thrusts 1t the full length of his arm forward, and music and march begin. In the old days the drum major then brought the "cane," as the staff was called in the tactics, to the position of carry sword" Now the drum major beats time setting the "cad- ence"-the number of steps to minute of the march. As a rule he simply repeats again and again the thrust and recover, through which he gives the command to play. Expert drum majors, however, introduce some fancy movement here. Jorgensen, for in- stance, has pretty way of describing circle from the front to the back of his right shoulder, grasping the staff in the middle and twirling 1t 50 that the head points downward at the moment the left foot is to advance. In unskil- full hands this movement is apt to end in disaster, the ferule striking the drum majors back or nose-which puts the nose out of joint and the band out of time. ~.. It is important that the drum major should mark the cadence lcorrectly, as otherwise not only his own, but all other regiments following, will march too slowly or too rapidly. The regular cadence is 120 steps to the minute; but in Memorial day parades, when there are many veterans in the procession, the drum majors quietly reduce it to ninety. Another clever trick of the drum major is to seize the ferule be- tween the fore and middle fingers, swing full circle with 1t four or five times, l and let so, giving 1t a slight twist as 1t leaves his flngers.-St. Nicholas.

The Downward Rush.
My heart is light"
 He gaily said. "l thought" she m,lrmured, "Twas your head"


 Not so very long ago the line between the arlstocracy and other classes of the community was very decidedly drawn at trade. A poor family might lay claims to gentility, and one or more of it's members might now and then figure at, say, a county ball. but a trades mans family-never. Now 1t Is other wise, the aristocracy themselves hay ing stepped over the dividing line. Lord Shrewsbury and Talbot, for instance, who takes precedence of all other earls unblushingly became cab proprietor; "Lord Rayleigh" Is the inscription that may be read on the signboard of one or two London dairies. The Marquis of Londonderry Is prepared to deliver coal by the ton. 'No agents"--suoa are the final words of this nobleman's adver- tisement, put in just as any trader born and bred might put them in. This descent from aristocratic secldsion in to the arena of commercial, conflict, is not confined to the male portion of our nobility. Titled ladies under disguised names carry on millinery establish ments and run cafes. Their dainty hn- gers, too, are not above manipulating flowers for profit. So geheraily, in deed, has the sacred thirst for gold in fected the upper ten, that whereas they were wont to be accused Of living In idleness, they are now accused Of taking the bread out of tho mouths nf those who depend entirely upon bustnes for their support. ~s, sss { Far beneath these noble ranks cen

If tradesmen have any grounds for com plaining of the aristocracy trenching on their territory. surely the poor and needy have grounds of similarly com plaining of having the instruments of their profession thus confscated by an apparently superior class. Of course, with such general downward trend, the poor and needy are driven lower still, and this in a measure is seen In the ever-increasing charitable institu- tions, relief agencies, soup Kitchens, and so forth, and the ever-increasing strain on the resources of such estab- lishments.- Saturday Journal.

ON 4 BUFFALO'S BACK
Witcher's Wild Ride Before Q Stamped. ing Herd on the North Platte.

Witcher's Wild Ride Before Q stamped-
 ing Herd on the North Platte.
 From the Chicago Herald.]
 Captain Russell Is one Of the Black Hills pioneers, and in the country where he is known no man would think of sneering at what he said. In gem eral talk he related many singular oc- currences, but none like the ride of N. L. Witcher, of Sturgis, S. Dak., which Witcher had on the back of 8 buffalo in 1849. Here 1t is, minus. of course, the interesting manner which Captain Russell imparted to it:
 It was in the summer of 1849. A lot of Californians were in camp on the North Platte, in the vicinity of ChiF- ney Rock, which Is a landmark now of former times. The Californians concluded they would like some buf- falo steak out of a herd they saw gra- zing in the distance. It was no un- common sight in those days. But you won't see 1t any more. No more buf- falo, and never will be again. Some body thought different once, but there won't be any more buffalo. The party mentioned started out to run down one of the herd Wftcher took the north side of the herd and his friends came up on the south and west sides. That stampeded thesherd, for the boys had fired on the buffalo.
 They took header towards Witch CT, who was on horseback. He saw them coming and he knew they wouldn' turn aside for him. He had seen them run before. In spite of the speed of his horse he was soon over taken. He saw the herd gaining on him, and he began thinking. He had been in many an Indian slsirmish, md I reckon man has to think as auleks
