There was a time when the
Summer costume of a dandy
was incorrect if it lacked Nan
keens, which were simply
trousers of Nankeen. The
dudes and dudelets of to-day
have not emulated their an.
cestors and Nankeen is among
the derelicts. That explains
this discussion.
To this generation Nankeen
is an unknown textile. There
is fun in the ignorance. PEG
pie that have seen the lot in
a window go to the Silks, to
the Wooden Dress Goods, to
the Paris Novelties, to the
White Goods, to the Linens,
in vain endeavors to find the
Nankeen. Some assert it to
be Silk others Wool, others
Flax, others Cotton-and the
last are right.
They are Cotton, of Chinese
make; take their name from
the city of Nankih; are OF a

Adoption Amoax plrd..

Modern scientific research undoubted- ly tends to plaoe the ethics of bird life on higher and highcr level Even the cuckoo against whom 90 much has been written, is now acknowledged to have been maligned when it was universally affirmed by yornitholoeists that it displays In it's tenderest stage of development the odious faculty of ejccting its lawful occupants from the stolen nest In which it has been placed. The bishop of New. castle has now made himself respond- ble for touching little aneodote. Not long ago. says Dr. Wilberforce, there was Frenchman who had large fam fly and who was haunted by the idea that when he died there would be no one to look after his children. While thinking of this one spring day he no. tioed two nests i'm n hedge close by each other. Each contained half fedged birds. whose parents were lying dead. He went away sad, thinking that the young birds must die. What was his surprise. however, a few days after to see them quite happy and apparently we'll fed. He stood apart and watched. and presently he saw the parent birds of other nests come to tho young birds and feed them. They had adopted the little orphans, fact which tho Frcnoh. man naturally took as good omen with regard to his own little ones.-- London News

The Straishtest Line.

The straightest thing in nature or art is ray of light when passing through medium of uniform density. Hence the eye is enabled to test the straight ness of an edge or tub. by holding it as nearly as possible coincident with a ray of light, such part as departs from straightness then intercepting the ray and causing shade to be cast upon oth- CT parts. It is not known at what early period in the history of mankind the discovery was made that straightness could be thus determined. It is certain that thousands of mechanics use the method daily without being able to give a rational explanation of it This primi- tive mode of testing straightness, on ac- count of its great convenience and &C., curacy, is likely to continue in use to the end of the world. = Engineering Mechanics

Senator HUI at UtIoa.

UTICA. N. Y., Oct 17.-Senator Hill arrived here and was given hearty re- ception. The opera house was filled with an enthusiastic audience, Lewis, Herki- mer. Madison and Otsego counties being represented by large delegations. Early in the day the local management became aware that the opera house, though 1t will accommodate 2, 900 people, would not af. ford sufficient room for those who desired to see and hear. Accordingly the second opera house was engaged for an overflow meeting and speakers hurriedly summon ed to keep the audience there interested until Mr. Hill had concluded at the larg er house.
 MT. Hill spoke for little over an hour and dwelt at length upon the issues of the campaign. including the apportion- ment the tariff, the work of the Demo- cratic party in the state and nation and the freedom from scandal of the present administration. He was applauded at frequent intervals, and his principal points were greeted with cheers This utteranoe was especially well received: All we ask Is patience on the part of the American people. If In one year from now we do not show to the people of the country bet ter and more prosperous times than they have ever realized before, then, will go on record in favor of turning the Demo cratic administration out of power"

SAD CROSSING ACCIDENT.
Two Little Gir,s and a Young Woman
 Killed In Bufsio.

BuFFALo Oct. l6.-Dorothy, aged II, and Emily, aged 5, daughters of John N. Scatoherd president of tho Bank of Buffa. 10 and Republican state committeeman from the Thirty SC ond district, and Miss Emily R. s. Woods, agod 80. sister -in- law of Mir. Scatcherd, were struck and killed by e freight enRins on tho Now York Central belt line at the Parkside crossing.
 Miss Woods, who lived with Mir Scatch- erd's family. had one of Mir Scatcherd's 6 spirited horses hitohed up and took the two little girls out to call on friend.
 The wind was blowing gale from the northwest, and heavy freight train was coming from the east Tho train was drawn by liig mogul engine. From the corner of Depsw avenue to the belt line down Parkside is but a very short dls. tance. 1t Is probable that Miss Woods did not hear the train, and it is certain that she could not 500 it because of the side curtains on the buggy
 Just as the buggy was on the track the great engine struck it. The horse was in- stantly killed and tossed to one side. The box of tho buggy stood the shock and remained on the pilot Before the sngi- neer could stop the engine the train had reached Colvin street, which Is about a quarter of a mile from Parkside. The buggy box remained on the pilot during all the distance. Whom the train was finally stopped. the woman and the two little girls were found in the bottom of the box in sickening, bloody pile.
 The engineer summoned help and the buggy box was lifted from the pilot Dor othy. the li-year old girl, was dead She was on tho side nearest the engine and received the fullest force of the blow.
 Miss Woods and little Emily were un- conscious. They were taken to the house of John Glenny, at the corner of Amherst and Colvin streets. and doctors summoned from all directions It was found that all ~<hree had been hit on the left side of the head, and that all three had their skulls fractured. Little Emily died in about two hours after hcr removal to the Glenny house. Miss Woods was taken to tho Cen tral hospital, where she died soon after

The California HoIdup.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-The ban ii.s who held up a Southern Pacific ovcrl md train few miles west of Sacramento and footed the Wells. Fargo company express car secured. over $50, 900. They seem to have eluded the officers and escaped with their plunder, which was nearly all in gold coin and consequently heavy bur den. #.=
 Beyond the mere supposition that the bandits are railway men who have been in the employ of the Southern Pacific and the supposition Is based on!y OF their apparent familiarity with railway methods and their ability to successfully handle a looomotive-the pursuing officials have little to work on.
 Earlier reports gave the amount of money taken as S6, 500 The Southern Pacific has Issued circular offering a re- ward of SlJ. 900 for the arrest of the two robbers and tho recovery of the plunder In this circular 1t is stated that the ban dits plundered the express car of over Sb0, 900 in gold.

The Death of His Wife Is Now to He Iavss-

 PROVIDENCE Oct 12.-As a result of second autopsy on the body of Emily c. Chambers, who is alleged to have been murdered by Lawrence Kecaan, it has been decided that two shots wore fired, one bullet entering the left breast and the other passing through the left side of the back.
 Only one bullet was found in the body, and that was of S2 caliber. a perfect .match for the onos remaining in the re- volver Reagan borrowed of Taylor two days before the m urdor. KooRan appears nervous and excited over his inprison. ment, but still asserts his innocence
 Suspicious surrounding the mysterious death of KeeRan's wife are now being in. vestigated. The prisoner claims his wife died In New Haven, but no record can be found to prove 1t. shortly before her death Mrs. Keegan Is said to have suffer ed a serious scalp wound and to have fractured several ribs In some unknown manner.
 It developed that Alice White, who has known Lawrence Keegan for IT years saw him get into a carriage with Mrs. Chambers, his alleged victim, on the day she was murdered. She recognized the woman, and from her description of the horse it was the one hired from Franklin Brothers stable on that day.

ANXIETY REGARDING THE ATTITUDE
 OF THE PRESIDENT.

Friends of the New York Senator wnl Try
 to Induce NIT. Cleveland to Declare For
 Their Candidate-Ths Campaign Is Now
 In Full Blast
 NEW YORK, Oct 17.-A Republican morning newspaper says today: Bitter feeling Is being engendered around Dem ocratic state headquarters by the prolong- ed silence of Grover Cleveland. All man. ner of devices have been resorted to to in- duce the president to come out In public letter as the champion of tho senior sena- tor of New York state in the up hill race which has been forced upon him. Tho president , hds been approached on the subject through immediate friends of William c. Whitney and presumably through Daniel s. Lamont A last des- perate effort will be made to force some favorable expression regarding Senator Hills candidacy when the president passes through this city in few days on the way from Buzzards Bay to Washington.
 There are mugwunnps In great num- bers who argue that 1t would be beneath the dignity of the president of the United States to try thus to influence voters. One of these gentlemen said so at Mir. HIT headquarters in the Park Avenue hotel yesterday. He was promptly reminded that President Cleveland did not think 1t was beneath his dignity to write a letter urging support for Colonel John R. Eel lows when he was a candidate for a coun- ty office few years ago. This simple fact silenced the mugwump."

 NEw YORK, Dot lb.-In Vienna mu. sicians from all parts of the world are eel ebrating the golden jubilee of the King of the Waltz, Johann Strauss. It is 50 years since he wielded baton, and Americans have contributed a silver wreath for the occasion. Rudolph Aronson was the pro moter of the idea, and all the great mu- sicians of America have contributed.
 The composer Brahms, Pauline Lucoa and other musical celebrities attended tho noon concert Sunday. Herr Strauss sat in the back aground of one of the central boxes, with his wife and stepdsughtor in front of him. but he was repeatedly com pelled by the plaudits of the assemblage to como forward and bow.
 Tho scenes at the opera house and at the concerts were of unparalleled enthu- siasm. There was hardly a writer, actor or musician In Europe who did not send a gift.
 Strauss splendid homo Is already a mu- scum, and 1t will require new building to display the astounding number of mag nifoent presents he has received The actual jubilee commenced today. which is the anniversary of tho first time Strauss conducted his band in the Dommayer gar den at Heitzing In IS44
