none other than the rawboned horse and
paint bereft buggy he had seen several
times before. AS it drew near, Jakey
could see some one in the buggy. and
he was not long in recognizing the pc
ouliar dress of Miss Betsy Baggs.
''Hello, Miss Baggs! Whar y goin
at?' he called.
Never word spoke Miss Baggs. She
sat bolt upright in her buggy, regard
ing the boy fixedly as Bobby Lee TRAN
gulated onward. AS she passed she
turned her head slowly, keeping her
spectacles on Jakey with an unearthly
stare. There is something superstitious
in all human beings and especially in
boys. Something like shiver ran down
Jakey's back at sight of this singular
person, who knew him perfectly, yet
who passed him, her head turning me-
chemically, without 'uttering word.
For moment he was tempted to believe
that Miss Baggs had persisted, and this
was her ghost going to seek rest in
some other land than war SCARED Ten
nessee. But this feeling was momenta-
~. Throwing it off, he shouted:
''Shell I give yer love ter Rats when
I see him?''
If Miss Baggs was trying to make the
boy believe he was mistaken, or that he
saw her disembodied spirit, her effort
failed signally at this point. A peal of
suppressed laughter came back on the
breeze to Jakey Looking after her, he
saw the back of the buggy, from which
streamed the tatters of the top and un-
der it Bob Lees four legs mingled in
inextricable confusion, doing some of
their best work.
"She uns hain't bent on no good"
said Jakey to himself as he gave Tom a
jog. "Reckon she's up ter somep'n.'
Jakey rode on musing upon Miss
Baggs. He had noticed her kind treat
ment of his sister, and as Jakey was
disposed to regard Souri, the most i'm
portant person on earth after Colonel
Maynard Miss Baggs had thus found
her way into that youthful something
or other which for want Of better
name may be called Jakey's heart. His
remark was made with great serious
ness. Jakey felt that it was his duty as
Union sympathizer to put some one
on Miss Bags track. ''She mought be
worken fo' the Confederates, he mus
ed, en- then agin she moughtn't. -
The latter view was most agreeable to
him, because he liked Miss Baggs and
would grieve to see any harm come to
her.
While he was jogging along, turning
the matter over in his mind, he saw
several horsemen in blue and yellow
come tearing down the road. They rein
ed i'll when they came up with him ano
opened volley of questions.
"Say, boy, did you see woman with

"Yes.''

SENATE-The senate went half through
the calendar during the morning. Two
bills caused some debate. Senator Rove
rud's bill defining vagrance and providing
punishment therefor, and to authorize
cities and incorporated villages to provide
for the punishment of Migrants. The bill
first passed and was afterwards reconsid-
cred and defeated.
Feig's bill, establishing the office of
state entomologist at the experimental
station for the destruction of chinch bugs,
passed unanimously, but it was not until
some of the senators from the country
made stand and told of what benefit it
would be 20 the farming country.
The Sheehan ''home rule" bill for cities
passed the senate. Both that and the
Howard bill are now in the house, with
chances in favor of the Sheehan bill
The senate also passed the primary cleo
ton bill.
HOUSE-On general orders in the house
favorable recommendation was given
the bill by Messrs. Cant and Douglas to
encourage the payment of taxes for the
year 1898 and prior years on all land which
had been or might be sold to the state-the
certificates of which have not been as
signed by the stately abating all penal
ties and interest above Z per cent if paid
prior to Dec. l, 1895.
Feig's bill relating to forfeiture of un-
earned railroad land grants was recon-
mended to pass.

certain New York ladies when Mrs. Cleveland is mentioned. But between Mrs. Cleveland and Helen Gould very warm friendship exists. This is due to the interest in kindergarten work shared between them. Miss Gould, it appears, first became intimate with Mrs. Cleveland through Mrs. Russell Sage, and their mutual esteem has grown ever since. Now Miss Gould has an especial horror of women who write eccentric novels. She expressed herself thus on more than one occasion, saying indeed that blood and thunder and women seem to go together nowa- days. But women who are conspicu- ous in the new woman movement are in most cases writers, and they were of tended by Miss Gould's utterance. Her friendship for Mrs. Cleveland diverted somewhat of this enmity to the latter lady.

ELLEN OSBORN'S LETTER.
A Lover Of the Birds Raises a
 Point of Interest.
Facts Are Stubborn Things-The Season's Novelties In Fur, Feather and Frip- pery-Between Season Wrap@
 The Latest Fashions.
COPYRIGHT. 1895.

Just month ago lady in distant town wrote me the following letter. In my fitting from place to place it re- mained unnoticed until now; but the point it raises is as good as ever:
 ELLEN OsBoRN.-Dear Madam: How ran a woman of your refinement, your orilliancy of mind, advocate the slaughter of Gods sweetest, most useful creatures the birds7 Is it not horrible sight to be- hold the corpse of a bird decorating a Christian woman's hat? And as for the wings, and the egret pIumes, the inclosed leaflets will give you their cruel history.
 hope you will read the leaflets care fully and may the dear, blithesome birds gain friend in you. Yours truly,
 "A MEMBER OF THE AUDUBON SOCIETY,""
 It does not need leaflets" or argu- ments to make me friend of the birds; but facts are stubborn things.
 It is the business of writer upon the fashions, as upon any other topic, to state facts as they are, and leave com ment, leave the consideration of 'oughts" and "shoulds" and ''musts,' 3 to the editorial page. This is one of

 joice to see it gaining in favor, and
 more liberal in it's intimacies. You see
 it in dark tints in wool cloth, and in
 velvets in combination with black fur.
 You see the lighter tints in combination with violet or dark green. Pale green in combination with very dark green
 and frightened up with white or faint ly yellowish lace is a color scheme which is always beautiful, especially for tall and fashing-eyed brunettes. Of course, there are always plaids, the coarser, rougher, ,hairier the better, so that they be not too heavy in weight. The width of skirts precludes the use of heavy cloth. A plaid skirt is very pretty with plaid sleeves attached to a bodice of black satin in wide lapels, opening quite to the waist over a white cloth vest, the collar black, of course, stock shape, with the protruding end
 under the left ear.

 CTS, all combined in one gown or wrap Under this treatement fur loses all it's ancient characteristics of solidity and
 simplicity, and becomes a toy and a plaything. This frivolous treatment
 encouraged by it's great and growing
 responsiveness.
 There are blouses and waists and
 basques.
 The blouses are not as simple as their
 name, but run to embroidery and lace, sheer pale green silk with threads of black, and other riotous things that are fluffy and festive in appearance. The waists are round, and often covered
 by jackets fitted as closely and reach ing only to the waist line, opening in front to disclose fancy vest fronts of white cloth or light tints of satin. The
 basques go down usually in long points
 both front and back, though once in
 awhile an effect oddly, like that of a mans dress coat is produced by basque points falling in the rear only, the basque being cut off across the sides and front at the waist line.
 The extremely wide belt and the de
 mure and nun-like crossed l1erchief are two fancies of the early autumn which
 have hardly kept their promise of pop
 ularity. Perhaps they were not suffi.
 ciently sensational.

 But it is the business of the chroni- cler to chronicle.
 Among other things, to set forth, as an encouraging thing to 'Audubonians and others, the rapidly increasing use of ostrich tips and ostrich plumes, whose procurement does not involve the loss of life to any bird. The au- tumn's and the winters hats will, as now appears, bear far fewer egrets, with their pathetic story of baffled love; and fewer wings and "corpses' of stilled singers. Probably the ostriches dislike to have their feathers pulled out, but they are a long way off; and the sight of big black picture hat, with the black and glossy plumes nodding and foaming and breaking over the crown of it, is one to reconcile even an ostrich to some discomfort.
 Let us suppose our plumed picture hat to be of dark green, the plumes black. A dark green velvet cape is furnished in shades to match. Let the trimming be of black fox's fur-as foxes eat birds, no Audobonian can ob- iect to this-so arranged in front as to form a huff The collar of the cape is shaped almost like a monks hood, but no monk ever had his mantle. lined with brocaled satin, pink or pale green, or aaaaa along the collar with

restaurant brings crowds to it at meal times, solely for the purpose of gazing npon the Beau Brummel of the hour. In this respect Mir. Belmont is unique. As for politics, his hand is seen in every deal and intrigue. One of the most interesting sources of speculation to those who watch him is his future. lIis ambition is boundless. Should he become governor, the presidency would be the logical sequel. He is quite young yet, and therefore he can afford to wait for the next century be- fore the chief magistracy of the nation comes to him. His thorough agree ment with Hill and Tammany in no sense deprives him of the support of that element known as better. His amiable capacity for facing pathways has stood him in good stead more than once. He is the only American living who is a social as well as Q political ooss. He does we'll in both fields.

Workers refuse to believe that Hill nc longer has the presidential bee in his bonnet. On the contrary it is assumed that he is as eager for the homination as ever. Now. Cleveland is entirely out of the situation. No one doubts this. MT Hill will not try to be nominated. The only national character left is MT, Whitney. There can be no doubt what. ever that the latter gentleman will have the delegation. Those that admit this in tentative way are Roswell F. Flower, Richard CrelSer, Perry Belmont and even MT. Hill. The arrangement is a thoroughly understood one MT, Hill is chiefly responsible for it. The mysterious motive be may have in thus hurrying away from the presidential lightning remains unfathomed. But that he has done so is beyond dispute. To repeat, MT. Hill is not and will not be an aspirant for the votes of the New York delegates in the next national convention.

You may contest the theory of socialism all YOU please, but you cannot contest the fact of human misery which gives the inove- ment all it's strength But take away that misery and you take away the strength of socialism"
 The next question put to Mr. Gompers had reference to the immediate future of labor.
 Tt is my belief" said he, "that the worlSinginan is tired of mere rhetoric and theory. He is weary of connecting himself with movements that mean long agitation and a remote ame.iorte ton of his condition. 1t is an old com plaint that most social reforms will not come to pass until we are all dead. We want to do something here and now. That something, it appeals very strong ly, should take the form of m increase of wages. That is my philosophy for the present.

His attempts to civilize himself by means of European dress and the wearing of 8 mustache are said to render the young man more strik- ing personally than ever. His fondness for sports of all kinds and his readiness to bestow rich gifts upon pugilists and jockeys commend him to the favorable notice of these gentry. In fine, the young prince will be heartily welcome to New York His advent will not be quite the sensation in society circles that it must prove elsewhere. Indeed, for an heir to throne, the oldest in the world, perhaps, the shahzarda does not have quite the social influence outside of Persia that one might expect. In other directions, though, his influence is great To repeat, he will be well come to New York.

The Imperial Stud of Lfppiza.

The gift of stallion to the maharaja of Jodhpore by Archduke Franz Fer dinand Of Austria, in return for the hospitality he received from that Raj put prince during his recent Indian tour, calls attention to the oldest stud in Europe. This is the imperial stud of Lippiza, in the Karst country, about one hours journey from Trieste. It was founded by Emperor Ferdinand I. in 15S0, and the breed, which is a mixture of Arab and Andalusian blood, has been kept quite pure ever since. There are at the stud at present eighty mares and five breeding stall lions, and about two hundred and fifty young horses and geldings. About forty horses are sent annually to Vien- ma, where they are used exclusively in the imperial stables. One peculiarity of this breed is that, as they have been allowed for generations to roam over the Karster mountains unshod, their hoofs and feet have become so hard that they do not require to be shod. They are described as being as hand- some as they are hardy and intelligent. Westminster Gazette.

But he found labor union weak and insignificant and built 1t up to membership of over a million, with thousands of dollars at his disposal and branches in every part of the land. Tn the midst of his activi- ties he was removed. Then America made him delegate to the greatest in ternational labor congress that has ever assembled, and in that congress he was easily first. In England, he attracted marked attention. He went everywhere, and in such labor eenters as Birming- ham, Manchester, Glasgow, crowds floclxed to hear him. And to-day the organization which refused him re- election only one year ago is preparing to restore him to power.

MONACO EST NoR1LITAs. Mr. Wander hilt. But the idea that any re- marriage will take place within a short time is based upon a misappre- bension. MT. Vanderbilt may, no doubt, be willing to propitiate matters. But his wife (she is still given that name and title) has anything but dis position to be nasty. However, MT. Vanderbilt,is becoming very reformed man, indeed, and that fact is winning him golden opinions. He no longer in dulres in idle vanities and meaningless diversions He manifests disposition to take up serious work. It leaks out, by the way, that Mr. Vanderbilt recent ly refused decoration from the prince of Monaco. It was that of the order of Monaco, and he would have been, in case of his acceptance, Sir William. He would have been entitled to wear the Monaco badge and to be court attend ant, with '.Monaco est Nobilitas" as q device. Of course Mr. Vanderbilt was not to be caught by such idle trappings. The late William Henry Hurlbert was a knight of this description. and very dubious honor it proved to be.

eral conventioa of that body meets in New York on December 12 next. It will comprise a little over three hundred delegates. A poll of them shows that forty more than a ma jerity favor the return of Gompers to power. He was defeated by Mcbride a year ago largely through whatis termed "fuke." And yet, back of all this, is Q vivid series of intrigues and counter intrigues. Gompers is the only Ameri- can labor leader to survive set back. His restoration to power will mean q final departure from the chaotic condi- tions. For Gompers is really a wonder ful man. His rise has been so gradual and his amazing influence has been ex- erted so impalpably that few have un- derstood how momentous, industrial ly, the mans career is and must be. For Samuel Gompers is at the threshold of what seems destined to be wonder ful career. The whole country has

He first entered the labor move ment through the cigar makers unions, ambrose rapidly. He is calm, safe, steady man. He dislilSes what he calls "fads." He never takes up socialistic schemes, and the socialists and anarchists hotly oppose him. Indeed, it was owing to a combination of socialists that he was defeated for reelection.
 'I don't think any man can compare American and European conditions" he said, when he was asked about the outlook for labor in the two continents, without being impressed with the superiority of the workingmen's lot in this country. There is really no com parison between the two. In Europe, especially in London, the workers lie in the most awful slums. myself have seen things in the London slums call culated to horrify the most callous ob- server. The degradation is so fearful that we wonder there is no social  revolution immediately. I am no longer surprised that socialism is so strong in Europe.

 But is it not inevitable that this suffering should exist?"
 Inevitable under our present sys- tenn, yes. Inevitable under equitable Social conditions, no. I don't care how much wealth there is, and, how few to share it, there will be suffering if it's distribution be negotiable. The ques- ton of the distribution of wealth is, in my opinion, the key to the situation. There is where so many sincere friends of mankind, I think, miss the point. We

one of Bufralo,s Four Hundred.

One of the millionaires of Buffalo lives in castle on resplendent avenue, but he and his aged wife retain many of the simple characteristics of their hard wrought youth. One morning recently the family carriage dashed up to the mansion, in all it's bravery of high rubbed varnish, the coachman being as well groomed as the horses. The vehicle was driven into the massive porte cochere, and the coachman hastened to open the carriage door. Then Mrs Millionaire alighted, bearing in one hand head of cabbage and carrying in the other tin pail containing smear kase. The good lady had evidently just finished her day's shopping at the Chip pewa market. Buffalo Express
