sea-Net and Tortoise Shell.

A hanging that smells of the sea Is a
large hsh-net to the meshes Of which
are fastened many light shells. A
fringe of the small shells accumu-
lated in a Summer would be effective
for a curtain to be used In a seaside
cottage. A stun curtain Of quiet color
could be made very attractive II en-
broidered with an all-over pattern of
seaweeds, with real shells judiciously
worked into the design. A large polished
tortoise hung against the meshes of a
nsh-net OF golden brown became more
beautiful thar any one had imagined It
to be when 1t was hid in a cabinet.

Dressmnkers, Don't Marry.

To the Editor:
I have read with q good deal OF interest all
letters answering the question. shall Men Marry
Dressmakersr' I wish to take the other side
OF tho question. Should d~ressmakers marryH'
Nine out OF ten get lazy and worthless husbands.
Dressmakers, as a rule. are proud and high
spirited they must put up with much nonsense,
and the consequence is there is a separation or
frequent quarels. for there is nothing so detesta-
BILE az a man wanting his wife to support him.
There are plenty OF such men: their name Is
legion. Therefore. my advice to dressmakers
is. stay single. DREssMAKER. South Brooklyn.

yet been seen at meeting this city. He
showed up the workings Of the Democratic
party in the cleares; possible manner, and
showed how thin and flmy the schemes
Of the Populists were. He evoked loud
laughter By quoting from copy of the
record of the last congress the bills intro

have aggregated the immense sum of $780,
0oo, 900. COO, or three times the money now
in circulation In the world. Mr.. Gay
pointed out the necessity Of eleciing the
entire Republican ticket. and gave the
spotted egg aggregation terrible roasting.
He said he had visited the assessors office
and examined the records and found that

Oscar Stenstrom, of the First ward, and
candidate for the assembly from the
Thirty-ninth district, was next introduced
and received most fattering reception.

himself to be well versed on both ques-

preston and promised that if elected he
would advocate the interests of his con-

of his ability and in an honorable manner.

He made talk. short. but to the point.
He showed in a few words that the
charges made against him were campaign
lies, gotten up by Harry White, John
Considine and others, and promised. If
elected. to serve the county in the interest
OF no persons or corporations and TO act
fearlessiy and conscientiously at ell times.
Pandemonium reigned supreme when he
ended and his hand was pressed by many
present
T. w. Gordon next addressed the meet

every statement made by Lightning-Calcu-

that the Office had heen run for the past
two years in an economical, careful man
ner.
John +. HUMPHREYS made the closing
speech and handled his subjects in schol-
airy manner, despite Populist Interrupt
tons. He said he felt certain that Wash
ington would follow the example of Maine,
Vermont and Oregon and roll up a large
majority for the cause of Republicanism
and that King would. as of yore, be the
banner county in the state.
