An intelligent gentleman of Wash
ington City, who has been observing
and actively following up the Mary
land campaign, said to us last week
that there is no doubt of the election
of Mr.. Hurst and the success of the
regular Democratic ticket. The
people of Maryland are not to be
hoodwinked into the support of the
Republican party. They will, if
necessary, fight against Mr.. German
qoithia the party, but they will not
assist the Republicans to obtain con-
troll of the State.

The Harper's Ferry Sentinel takes
exceptions to our article last week
condemning the proposed RENTER
ment of the bodies of John Brown
followers and the erection of mon
ument over their remains, and says:
''The southern people have never been pre-
vented from erecting monuments over their
heroes of a lost cause, and it is nonsense for
the SPIRIT to talk about putting an end to
John Brown fooishness" and tearing down
or preventing any monuments that may be
erected by northern people at Harpcr's
Ferry"
If the Sentinel means by the above
to place the grave of midnight
murderer on the same plane with that
of Confederate soldier, the infamy
of the matter is increased thous-
and fold.
No one here, that we know of, has
any objection to the return and re-
erection of "John Browns Fort"
as it is called; but, as we said be-
fore, "to disinter the remains of
outlaws and fiaunt a monument to
them in the faces of the older citi-
zens of Jefferson, with their exper-
fence of 1859, is going just little
too far"
To show what patriotic northern
people of sound discretion think of
such movement, and as a measure
of justice to Miss Field and her rep
resentative, we append the following
letter from Hon. Robt. L. McCabe:
CHICAGO, LII, OcT. 5. 1895.
George W. Hatnes, ESQ.,, Charles
ToaCn, W. va.
DEAR SIR I'm the edition of the
SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON of the 1st inst.
/ noticed that you made editorial
comment on Kate Fields reported
purpose of establishing a grave yard
for the followers of John Brown,
and of erecting over their graves a
handsome monument. Before Miss
Field started for Hawaii, she left
the management of the restoration of
John Browns fort entirely with me.
am well acquainted with all her
purposes in regard thereto. There
fore know the above rumor is un-
founded. Miss Field has no desire
or intention of offending your peo-
pie. Even John Browns fort would
not have been returned had the
movement met with opposition.
We are all one people, we mus
live together happily, and therefor,
it is our duty to respect the feeling:
and sentiments of each other. i
the occasion presents itself again,
sincerely hope that you will deny al
such foolish rumors as the above.
Yours Truely,
RoBT. L. McCABE,
Attorney for Kate Field.

written for the October number of
The Forum an article entitled "The
Present Condition of the Silver
Question in the United States" In
his opinion there are no more adj
yocates of the free-silver policy to-
day than there were year ago; he
thinks that those opposed to that
policy are far more outspoken now
than they were then, and that the
sound money cause is rapidly gain
ing ground.

Fine Fabrics for Warm Weather Co.'S
tunes.
The transparent fabrics in vogue this
season make most charming and COM
Portable gowns for midsummer. Sheer
white dresses are ideal for hot wealth
err, and are now favored above all
others. For these immaculate frocks
plain organdie and batiste are the first
choice and silk crepon second. Next
there is pina, or pineapple cloth, after
which comes canvas, alpaca and taf-
feta, the last three doing duty for
heavier and more serviceable wear.
One very young lady has all the house
and calling gowns of her summer out
fit of pure white, reserving colors for
her outing dresses, for golfing, by
cycling, yachting and coaching.
Some of the prettiest summer ball
gowns are of plain white organdie over
glossy taffeta, with trimmings of yell
low Valenciennes lace. They have a
belted waist, gathered full at the belt
and top on fitted lining of ia ffeta, and
fastened in the back The neck is cut
square and quite low, showing across
the front and back narrow and very
simple trimming of yellow Valenci'
ennes insertion, with little edging to
match erect above it. Tho shoulders
are strapped across with white satin
ribbon, slightly folded, an aig-
grette bow holding miniature button
in each corner. The bust is draped
with fri,l of open embroidery which
falls in two points, one just in front of
each sleeve, and the back is similarly
trimmed. Elbow sleeves of huge size
are formed of lengthwise pu ifs of or
candle shirred on fitted taffeta lin
en-. The organdie skirt of great
width has ten-inch hem with a bead
ing above it, and hangs from the same
belt as that beneath it of white taffeta,
though the latter is gored and has a
stiff lining. -Harper's Bazaar.

Animal HumbuCs,

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame in order
to avoid going to a military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick; after his recovery he often
feigned coughing in order to procure
dainties. The cuckoo, as is well
known, lays its eggs in another birds
nest, and to make the deception surer
it takes away one of the other birds
eggs. Animals are conscious of thej~
deceit, as shown by the fact that they
try to act secretly and noselessly; they
show sense of guilt if detected; they
take precautions in advance to avoid
discovery: in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus, bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after their exploits, as if they feared
punishment. A naturalist describes
low his monkey committed theft;
while he pretended to sleep the animal
regarded him with hesitation, and
stopped every time his master moved
or seemed on the point of awakening

How Germans serve Vegetables.

The German method of serving vege-
tables is very pretty and novel. A
dish will be passed TO you, a large fiat
platter, on which there are four or five
different kinds of vegetables, not
mixed together, but arranged in SYM
metrical rows, side by side, across the
plate, and favored with u nice butter
sauce. They will combine peas, car
rots, string beans, turnips, etc, The
con trasting colors, arranged tastefully
with reference to the general effect
are pretty and take the dish out of the
commonplace. One is supposed to help
oneself to very small portion of each
kind The Germans have peculiar
taste for combining vegetables; and
show remarkably good sense as to
what flavors should be united. A dish
of spinach and turnips we have often
tried since we first tasted it in the
Black Forest. The spinach is chopped
very fine and highly favored with salt,
pepper, butter, little nutmeg and a
tablespoonful of soup stock. The tur.
nips are boiled and then cut in thin
slices. To serve them, the spinach
should be first placed in vegetable
dish, then the sliced turnip put over
the top, so as to cover the spinach,
and rich white sauce poured over the
whole. The combined flavor is very
good.-St Louis be-Democrat.
