eled belt worn round the waist. ~
makes an exceedingly swell costume,
but can only be successfully worn by
the tall, slender woman. A gown saw
in State street yesterday had this idea
very prettily carried out. The bodice
and hem of the skirt were of caracule,
the former Boosting the long shoulder
seam outlined with jet, while the skirt
and sleeves were of tan-colored face
cloth. At the neck was high choker
collar with six turned-over tabs-just
what all well-regulated collars should
have, the simple, undraped ones of last
season being absolutely unknown to
the fashions of the moment.
There is so much liberty allowed in
both gowns and hats this season that a
woman can dress herself according to
her own sweet will, can wear what is
becoming and still be in the fashion.
The only thing she must have is a very
full skirt. The bodice can take care of
itself.
The latest skirts are made enormous
ly full without godets, and absolutely
without stiffening. They are much
plated in the back, have three small
plaits on each hip and fall in long,
graceful folds all around. l should like
tic emphasize what l said before, that
there are no godets and no stitfening.
For street and daytime wear skirts re-
main severely plain, excepting when
fur bands are used; but for evening
dresses the best modistes use a garni-
ture of ribbon and lace or bands of dark
fur, and sometimes all three in combi-
nation. The skirt garniture in the pic
ture is one much used on gowns intend
ed for small evening affairs.
Among recent importations one sees
very few separate blouses to be worn
with any skirt. The little Louis XIV.
coats have replaced them, except for
evening wear. These coats, while ex-
ceedingly pretty in themselves, have
the added charm of novelty and are
bound TO take immensely. They can
be made as elaborate as ones fancy
and purse will permit, or, on the other
hand, in severe simplicity. In the lat
ter case their only ornamentation are
handsome buttons in some unique de-
sign. The prettiest ones, however, are
made to open over a vest of either jew
eled muslin, lace or dark fur with
broad, sharply-pointed revers Which
end at the waist under two large paint
ed porcelain buttons. An exceedingly
picturesque model in dark green bro
caded satin had a wide collar of white
cloth embroidered in shaded green

attention of the senate and of the coun-
try very soon after the saith congress
convenes. He is an enthusiastic advo-
cate of the doctrine of protection to
American industries" and is president
of the North Carolina Protective Tariff
league.
Daniel w. Voorhees,, of Indiana, is
now in the scar and yellow leaf of life.
He was born in Ohio in 1927, and is,
therefore, GS years of age. During the
last three years his health has been
impaired, and one year ago his life was
despaired of by his physicians. He is
man of powerful physique and courtly
bearing. He is q great orator and
great lawyer. When only 30 years old
he was appointed United States
district attorney for Indiana, and held
that position until he entered congress
in 1861. He remained in congress con-
tinually until 1872, when he was de-
feated for reelection. He says, in his
brief autobiography which is in the
Congressional directory, that he was de-
feated then "by reason of the nominal
ton of Horace Greeley as the democratic
candidate for president" He did not
want Greeley nominated, could not give
him active support, and lost his seat
in congress. When the great Oliver p.
Morton died, Senator Voorhees, was APP
pointed to succeed him in the senate,
and has been continuously senator
since November IL, 1877. He has been a
member of the important committee on
finance during all these years, and is
now chairman of that committee. He
has always been an advocate of the
free coinage of silver, and was elected
to the senate in 1879 on that issue over
Benjamin Harrison. AS chairman of
the committee on finance, he was man.
ager of the bill for the appeal of the
silver purchasing act in 1898, and en-
dured much criticism for his course at
that time. Although an ardent advo-
cate of the cause of silver, he believed
that the act referred to should be re-
pealed. and it was done. He is one of
the ( at men of his age, and has been
u party leader for many years. His
views are extreme, and his political ut
terances have always been of the most
ASooi'S liobulCs 4NO ueul-
ocrat has brought upon himself more
yirulent attacks from the press of the
opposition than Senator Voorhees,. He
has been pictured by editorial writer's
and cartoonists as political demon,
and yet he is one of the most pleasant,
genial gentlemen ever in public life.
Democrats and republicans alike,
when they attain prominence, are sub
jected to intense criticism by the oppo-
sition in this country, and the people
never get really correct idea of their
great public men until after they are
dead. Then, and not till then, are
their virtues adequately described.
John Sherman, the great republican
leader, was born in Lancaster, o., in
1923, and is now nearly 70 years old. No
body has been more hated and maligned
by democratic papersand orators than
John Sherman. One of the principal
things said against him is that he is
cold-blooded; that he is repellant, and

conviction that such a gigantic under
taking as a universal exposition, one
which would have stood the test of COM
parison with the Chicago exposition,
wouldn't pay. The Chicago worlds
fair, in fact, was too much for the en-
bryonic Berlin one-it knocked all
hopes of overlapping it into a cooked
hat. Repeatedly Berlin has made
move to hold a worlds fair, and every
time it has dropped the intention on
looking little closer into it. For Ber-
Unlike New York-has lot of local
patriotism, but this laudable sentiment
stops short of the pocket. Thus it is
that instead of worlds fair Berlin will
have local industrial exposition next
year. Her citizens believe that it will
pay them better. And l think they are
quite right, for the hordes of strangers
who will visit Berlin next year will

leader was ever more successful, so far
as the house Representatives was con-
cerned. The way was blocked by the
senate, and the Mills bill is now a
"Reminiscences. But the man whose
name was given to it, still remains in
public life as one of the leaders of his
party in the senate. He is honest to
the core of him, and as earnest in his
political views as ever.
Justin Smith Morrill,, of Vermont, now
IS years old, is one of the grand men of
this nation. He has been in congress 40
years and has served his country with
honor and distinction. He has the
honor of having his name connected
with the tariff bill of 1868, which pro.
duced the revenues required during the
civil war and for many years after
wards. He has always been repub-
lican, and his position as chairman of
the senate committee on finance has
brought him prominently before the
country in all revenue legislation. He
is an old man, and speaks on all public
affairs with the utterance of an oracle
His once powerful voice is now weak,
but when it is announced that he will
address the senate he is always given an
audience by his colleagues. He cannot
now be heard by the galleries, but in
the days of his virility he was mag
nificent orator, and thousands flocked
to hear him. He is gentle and modest
man, never showing any of the ele-
ments of egotism which often mar the
good of public men.

SENATORIAL LEADERS.
A Non Partisan View of Famous
Partisan Chiefs.
How Senator Pritchard, of North Caro-
lima, Became an Intense Republican
Voorhees,, of Indiana, and His
Record-Other Old-Timers.
Special Washington Letter.

Jeter Connolly Pritchard, of North
Carolina, is one of the youngest men
ever attaining the prominence of mem
bership of the senate of the United
States. he was born in Jonesboro,
Tenn, July IL, 1857, and is therefore
only 3S years old. Before he had seen
his seventh birthday -.e witnessed Il
sight which impressed itself upon his
memory and made an imprint there
which has in some degree affected his
entire life. There was great civil war
in progress, and the southern states
were in sore straits. Every able-bodied
man was required to enter the army.
Little Jeter Pritchard saw his father
taken away from home, by compulsion,
to enter the confederate army, and he
never saw him again. Although he
has resided in North Carolina for many
years, he has always been an ardent and
active republican worker. He blames
the opposite party for that scene of his
childhood, and consequently is an in
tense partisan. He received common
school education, and when a mere child
entered a printing office to learn the
trade. He became an editor and part
proprietor of a weekly newspaper. He
has been presidential elector, a candi-
date for lieutenant governor ofhis state,
and delegate to the Minneapolis con-
vention of 1892. In 1894 he entered into
a fusion with populists in North Caro-
lima, and was elected by the legislature
to fill the unexpired term of Senator
Vance, who died in 1894. His term OF
service will expire March 3, 1897. He
is large man, quiet, npretentious, but
forceful. He has not yet participated
in general debate in the senate, but his
record as stump speaker is such that
it is fair to presume thai his voice will
be heard on the floor of the senate dur
ing the coming session. There will be
exciting times, and Senator Priitchard
will undoubtedly participate in the dis
eussion of the topics of great national
interest which will be brought to the
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1895-11-21

On the whole this Berlin fair will
show no strikingly novel features In
the line of exhibits, but there will be
many sideshows Of unusual interest.
CT course there is to be a sort of mid
way plaisance, with African villages,
with microcosmic reproduction of
Cairo, with German colonial exposi-
ton from the tropics, with theaters
and concerts, dance halls, wicked and
dcmure both. A peculiar feature will
be "Old Berlin"-a complex of build
ings and costumed inhabitants repre-
senting the growth of the city from a
fisher village 900 years ago to place of
nearly 100000 souls.
Part of this is to be fireproof iron
theater, in which series of specially
written historical plays will be per-
formed during the season-plays writ
ten by the best dramatists of Germany
and exclusively borrowing their sub
jects from the stirring past of the city.
Such men as Dahn, Wildenbruch, VOL
Zogen are among the authors of these
odd plays, in which the great Hohen-
Zollern rulers of the last half millennium
will personally stalk over the stage.
Among the exhibits proper the most
interesting, perhaps, will be electric
ind technical, with about two score of
hitherto unknown inventions, of which
some at least are going to astonish the
world. The different methods uf
illumination in vogue to-day, of which
the ''gas glow light" in it's various
adaptations is probably as interesting
as any, not to forget the most recent in
novation, the ''alcohol glow lights" are
to be exhibited side by side in such q
way as to show the advantages and the
shortcomings of each at a glance.
The Berlin municipal council, body
of men than whom there is probably no
more enlightened nor estimable, is en-
couraging this city enterprise in all pos
sible ways, and couple of millions have
been devoted to it out of public funds.
The same architects who did such eX-
cellent work for the German section at
the Chicago worlds fair, with Hoffacker
at the head, are the technical leaders of
this enterprise as well, and nearly all
the buildings on the grounds will be
handsome and original in design and
execution. ,.. ....
On the grounds there will be, during
the exposition, a number of special at.
fractions. A small lake-about one

Speed in Pitching q Ball.

Some experiments were made at
Princeton with view to test the speed
of baseball pitcher under normal
circumstances. A distance of 60 feet
was measured off, and by means of an
electrical attachment in the pitchers
hand and another in the catcher's the
exact time of the ball in transit was
read off chronoscope. Altman and
Bradley, Princeton's star twirlers,
pitched u number of times, but on ac-
count of the season their speed was
not up to the usual rate. The re-
suit was that siX-tenths of second
was regarded as the rate of Altman's
ball, while it took Bradley fifty-nine
hundredths of second to throw the
ball. These interesting experiments
will be continued in warm weather.

formed, and on it naval spectacles, re-
gattas, races, ETC., will be arranged for,
even including a sham naval battle be-
tween Roman and Carthaginian vessels,
and between Genoese and Moslem ships.
An immense playground is being laid
out, where athletic games of every kind,
something patterned after the Olympian
games of classical times, are to be held
in the presence of the emperor and his
court. These features, no doubt, will
tend to make the exposition social
success as well, and that will help to
make it a financial one.

An Indian Warriors Grave.

Two Muscongus (Me.) men, who were
digging cellar for house, found a
skeleton of an Indian warrior. at least
six feet six inches tall, and with it were
found old iron implements, spear
and arrow heads, while around the
bones of the arm were copper bands six
inches in diameter, carved and curious
ly wrought. The body had been
buried in a sitting posture, facing the
east. and the set of teeth which had
done their owner good service during
life were still perfect.
