UNABLE TO FIN ANY TINE.

Members of the senate finance commit
tee say that there has been a great deal
OF transformation sent out about the time
when the tariff bill will be reported to the
senate. 1t is claimed that no time could
possibly be fixed for reporting the bill UNI
til the full committee came together. Be-
sides. the biL is not ready to be reported
yet from the subcommittee and the mem
bers of that committee cannot tell when
it will be. It is also said that while it is
from time to time asserted that an agree
ment has been reached on certain sched-
Jules as matter of fact nothing is def
nitely arranged, and what has been done
so far is subject to change by the subcom-
mittee while it still has charge of the bill
and by the democratic membership when
they come to consider the work of the
subcommittee. The only thing that
seems to be settled definitely is that the
intention is to make the bill provide suffi-
cient revenue for the government, and to
this end articles will be taken from the
free list and increases made in some d.

these grandly built women, corset-mak-
ers are careful to have the corset long
in front, with all bones below the waist
cnrving in, and laced in fan-shapo
over the shoulders. Then hooks are
placed back and front to keep the
clothing down as far as possible. These
may seem insignificant points, but
their consideration make or mar the
figure. 5Ss
While custom-made corset is re-
gnrded with envy, it is superiority on a
par with custom made gloves. In 81
complete stock it is as easy to get q
good fitting corset as good fitting
glove. Corsets do SO much for the
figure that it is the fault of the maker
or dealer if a woman of medium build
is not beautiful in form. I say medium,
because the bulk of the stock is de-
signed for medium figures. A good
corset will last an entire year and 81 q
month is very little to pay for a pretty
figure.

called for by Secretary Carlisle, has filed
q petition in the Supreme court of the
District seeking a mandamus to compel
Secretary Carlisle to issue $4,000, 900 in

his bid. The secretary, upon receiving
Riker's bid, Investigated his financial

CHEAP At THE MONEY.
GOOD coRsETs SHOULD BE WORN
.@. OR NONE At ALI.
The More Expensive Articles Give the
\, Wearer Style, Figure and Support,
Which May Be HAD for u Per Month.

Corsets make the woman. They give
her style, figure and support. A good
corset is cheap at any price. A cheap
corset is the meanest article Of wom-
ans dress. The essentials of good
corset are cut and whalebone. With
out those two elements it is immaterial
whether the garment BIZ drap jeans or
lace-edged satin. French corsets are
the best in the world, because they are
cut properly. Others are as we'll made,
but it is the exceptional pair that fits.
Any seamstress can make a pair of
corsets, says writer in the N. Y.
World, but only Frenchman who is
at once an artist and an anatomist can
cut them.
1t is not possible to get a good French
corset for less than So. The whale
bone alone will cost So in France, and,
allowing So for making and material
and c. per cent for duty, you have the
actual value in this market, without
the profit. There is an immense sale
of domestic and imported goods rang
ing in price from IS cents to SO, but the
customer must not deceive herself.
Whaleoone costs about So a pound, and
half pound will be consumed in pre-
pairing the twenty or thirty selected
strips needed. do not say a word
against the service of cheap corset.
There really is no wear to the horn and
steels it contains. Neither is there any
beauty. Take, for instance, an SIS
corset thonsa nds of dozens Of which
are bought every year, and you have
not only the foundation for nice-ftting
dresses but you have a figure, fine
carriage; you are IN style. Such a gar
mcnt fits like a glove and is yielding
and light in weight, comparatively
speaking. There is in it the necessary
support for the figure, corrections for
any defects of form, a grade of coutil
made for the trade that is stronger
than jeans and as fine as linen hand
kerchief, feather-weight steels of such
elasticity that they can be bent double,
and, finally, new whalebones. When

CIVIL SERVICE MATTERS.

The civil service commissioners have
several times urged upon the president
the propriety of bringing the chiefs of di-
visions in the treasury and other depart
ments within the civil service law. As
their positions are the most important in
the service it is held that they should be
reached by promotion, and that when a
man has demonstrated his usefulness and
ability he should be retained. The presi-
dent has promised to take the matter I'M
der consideration, but Mr.. Carlisle and all
the politicians in the cabinet are very
much opposed to extending the civil serv-
Ice rules any further. .- 4.,s.%.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The secretary of the treasury has sent
congress letter from the secretary of
state urging the necessity Of providing
the full amount of his estimates for the
contingent expenses of foreign missions.
For the fiscal year 1895 Secretary Gresham
asked for $105, 900, an increase of $4,000
from 1894, and also requested deficiency
appropriation of $4,000 for the current
year. There are thirty-six missions,
among which 81, 14O is divided for ex-
penses and 10000 for stationery. Con-
sidering that all clerical assistance, mes
senger service and Office rent, except for
the legations of China, Japan and Spain,
come from this fund, the secretary con-
siders the allowance very meaper.

A Jury OF His Peers.

Lawyer Samuel J. Elder tells the fol-
lowing stories to the Boston Herald
about the late Henry w. Paine:
Mr.. Paine once went to one of the
interior towns of Maine, where boy
was on trial for arson. He had no
counsel and Mr.. Paine was assigned
by the court to take charge of his case.
He discovered after q brief interview
with the boy that he was half-witted.
The jury, however, was composed Of
good, solid country farmers, who owned
barns such as the defendant was
alleged to have set on fire, and in spite
Of the boys evident weakness of in
tellect they brought in verdict of
guilty.
The presiding Justice turned to M.
Paine and remarked:
Have You any motion to maker"
Mr.. Paine arose and in his dry and
weighty manner answered:
mo, your honor. I believe have
secured for this idiot boy all that the
laws OF Maine and the Constitution OF
the United States allow-a trial BY his
peers.

RESTORING PENSIONS.

rs .1tI
Itmay be important to those who have
had their pensions revoked for one reason
or another to learn that a good many
people are being restored to the rolls
} through the influence Of senators and
members of the house OF representatives.
This IS said to be one of the concessions
extended by the executive branch of the
government to the legislative branch for
the purpose of securing harmony and
better relations.
Whenever a senator or a representa- tive
is willing to certify to his knowledge that
any pension has been unjustly revoked
and the pensioner is entitled to what he
has received the commissioner will accept
such certificate until the case may be
properly investigated. This throws the
responsibility upon the congressman. who
is usually willingto accept t,paltic,tiarly
during the months previous to his nomi-
mating convention.
RlKER STILL WANTS THOSE BONDS.
Judge Bradley Of the District Supreme
court has refused to grant the petition of
Carroll l.. Riker of Chicago for manda-
mus to compel Secretary Carlisle to issue

bond issue on the basis of the proposals
submitted by him. TX

to the petitioner as would authorize the
court to issue the mandamus." Mr.. Riker
filed his appeal from Judge Bradley's de-
cision late Friday afternoon, carrying the
case to the court of appeals of the dis
trict. In the appeal he says that he be-
lieves himself fully entitled to the bonds,

The sober second judgment of both par
ties to the Boring sea arbitration dis
closes the fact that the agreement reach
ed by the arbitrators is not entirely salts
factory to either the United States or
Great Britain. 1t appears, however, that
the dissatisfaction is based rather upon
matters of detail than upon any obJec-
ton to the broad principles upon which
the arbitration was based. One of the
flaws which Secretary Gresham is said to
have found in the agreement Is failure
to provide penalties for infraction OF Its
provisions. The secretary is trying to
have this defect cured. The United
States is able to punish sealers brought
before its courts, but the Canadian law Is
defective and an international agreement
is desirable.
The Canadians have discovered that
rigid enforcement of the articles of agree
ment would destroy their seal-fshing In
dustry. They have brought great pres
sure to bear upon the British foreign Of
flee, with the result that Sir Julian
PauncefOte is now labol!ng strenuousiy

limits of the closed zone around the seal

taken, and shortening of the closed sea-

Buy Thorn Only as Needed.

Styles in the cut change very seldom,
and few women are induced by op-
portunity to lay in a supply for several
years. This is mistake. It is better
to get good corset-the best that can
be afforded; wear it constantly, and
either replace it or have fresh new
bones put in it. A good corset could
be washed like towel, but the steels
and bones must come out. Corset-mak-
ers charge $3.50 to rebone a corset, and
if new bone is demanded the cost is
SO. so. OF late years certain famous
manufacturers Of Paris have taken the
trouble to stamp on the inside of the
corset absolutely new whalebone.
This was guarantee until unscrupul-
GUS firms used but one fresh bone,
and to escape the law, put the stamp
on that.
To again refer to the $1s lightweight
corset it is of all corsets the corset for
! fat woman, for the reason that it
adds nothing to her bulk or burden of
mortality. Many of the SO called
obesity corsets are absurd. They weigh
from one to four pounds, and the alb
dominal belts and other attachments

!; MORE r MONEY IN THE TREASURY.

Since tho last day of January the treas
ury balance has increased in round fig
ures $4,000, 900, the assets standing at
$40, 100000. This increase practically
represents the money received from the

ton Of about 81, 500 900. is now in hand.
TIE principal and premium of this bond
issue aggregated $5s,0O0,O0o, and figures
obtained at the treasury show how much
in net gold the treasury gained by the is
sue. The footing is about $41 600, 900.
Feb. l the gold in the treasury stood at
$64, 900 and now it is s1O5, 100000. Be-
tween those dates the currency balance
has increased from 5000, 600 to 49,, OOO,-

in legal tender notes which were paid in
