not becoming to short women, but this
is so easily reduced TO suit the height
and taste of the individual that it need
not be disfguring. Fashions are 30 es-
pecially feminine that they are bound
to become more and more pleasing as
they develop. Even the popular tailor
made coat and skirt gown has touch
of femininity in the dainty lace trim

The fancy for making bodices of g.

sleeves has lost none of its popularity,
and mousseline de sole and cream col

fabrics. Blouses made with a basque

The fancy for introducing bright
color at the neck and waist seemed at

such becoming addition and gives
such dash to simple gown that it
has become one of the reliable points of
fashion. The details Of dress have
much to do with its smart appearance,
and touch of the right color in the

the most expensive trimming. Another

WILL SWEEP THE FIELD.
The Democratic the Only Party of tn,
People

Ine democratic the Only Party of the
People.
The following is a brief synopsis of
Mr.. j. Z. Bnxton's stirring speech
upon being called to preside tempo
rarlly over the Democratic State
Convention, at Raleigh, on Wednes-
day:
1t is now the duty of those who
believe In the principles of Democ.
racy, to lay aside their ambitions.
subordinate Individual differences,
and Join together in the patriotic
work which is before them, and the
country. The Democracy of this
State is rich in magnificent leader
ship The party is not wanting in
capable and courageous men. He
alluded feelingly to the great loss in
the death of Senator Vance, and his
sentiments were loudly applauded,
as were also his references to Ran
som and Jarvis.
He urged that all matters be
subordinated to the sole duty of
destroying all enemies of the Demo
cratic party, for now there are two
enemies, the old time Republicans
and their coadjutors, the Populists.
There was a great laugh when be
said that most of the Populist lead
ers are disappointed Democratic
office seekers. He declared that the
Democrats would sweep the field.
He then read the goods news from
alabama, and this brought out more
cheers.
He said that some one had said

stage of Coxeyism, and that this was
semi sociallstic, under vagabond
direction. He said we are now at
the parting of the ways; we must
choose between the republic and the
commune; between the constitution
and anarchy. There is only one
party of the people-the Democratic
party. He said the time had come
to repel the Republican insinuations
against Mr.. Cleveland. He showed
how sLamelessly the Republicans had
looted the national Treasury, and
also how they had endeavored to
spread falsehoods. Mr.. Buxton
eulegized President Cleveland, say
ing that on the main issue on which
the Democratic party went into
power-that is the tariff-he had the
confidence and the support of all
loyal Democrats.
he added that a campaign on
State issues was most unwise, as
would be any cutting loose from the
national administration and that
the most cowardly thing q Demo-
crat could do would he to do any,
thing to weaken Mr. Cleveland's
administration. At this there was
great applause.

Weight of Live Animals.

The following rules may be applied
to estimate the weight of live ami
mails Take string, put it around
the beast, standing square, just
behind the shoulder blade; measure
on foot-rule the feet and inches the
animal is in circumference-this ia
called the girth; then, with the string
measure from the bone of the tail
which plum his he line with I he hinder
part of the bullock; direct the line
along the back to he fore part of the
shoulder blad' tHke the dimensions
on the foot rule as before, which is
the length, and work the figures in
the following manner: Girth of the
bullock, six feet four inches; length,
five feet three inches; which, multi
piled together, make 81 square
superficial feet; that multiplied by
23 the-numbtr of pounds allowed to
each superficial foot of cattle measur-
ing less than seven and more than
five in girthl, makes 713 pounds.
Where the animal measures less than
nine and more than seven feet in
girth, 3 l is the number of pounds to
each superficial foot Again. sup
pose a pig or any small beast should
measure two feet in girth, and two
feet along the back, which, multi
piled together, make four square feet;
that multiplied by II 1.-THE number

Ing expedition was pushing westward
TO the Pacific. its members had reached
that part of the country which rs now
the state of Kansas. and they cele-
brated American independence at q
camp near which now stands the city
of Atchison. After firing guns, sing

spread-eagle speeches, they sat down to
the biggest feast of buffalo and prairie

ioyed west of the Missouri.

Mothers Signal.

1t is very great convenience to have
some sort of an understanding between
the mother and her little folks relative
to their play hours. Giving the juve-
niles orders to be in on time Is not al
ways practical, as the want of time
piece demonstrates. Now it is that
mother can bring into use her signal
whistle. This is even better than bell.
1t is very much more dignified than a
call and a great economist of steps that
must be taken, unless something in the
form of a signal is arranged. In the
country the whistle is found very
great help to the women who must
have an eye on the boys and girls of
the family all day long. One shrill
blast from this far-reaching mouthpiece
and the children come fiocking home
in a hurry, provided of course they have
been taught the blessed trait of prompt
obedience Days.

RIDGwAY, June 5.-The operators OF
the mining district south of this place
anticipate a conflict with the strikers to-
day. \ telephone message from the
Shawmut works of Hall, Kaul Il Co.
says that the strikers are marching on
the works, and have declared their in
tention to force the non union men out
of the mines at any cost. Sheriff Elioll
and posse of over 30 determined depu-
ties left Ridgway at midnight, and are
guarding the works. All are armed
with winChesters, and a wagon load of
ammunition was sent to them this
morning.
About 175 negro miners from Alaba-
ma arrived here in freight cars at mid
night, and 100 of them were put to work
at the Shawmut mines this morning.
The rest were sent to the Noble Coal
cOmpany's works.
An effort was made by the strikers
yesterday afternoon to intimidate the
men at work at Shawmut. Thev
paraded the highway with a brass band
in the lead and were confronted at the
works by the sheriff and 10 deputies
Some of them broke from the ranks and
fled, but others were determined to en-
ter the works. The deputies captured
SO, including the band, and the sheriff
sent them to Jail at Ridgway at mid
night.
