tune estimated at about $l5, 900, 900 by
manufacturing plug tobacco. He has an
annual income of about 81, 000 900, but
the only display he makes of his wealth
Is the rental Of expensive apartments at IA

Half IA century ago Sorg's parents came
to this country from Germany and settled
in Wheeling, where Sorg was born in
1910. Twelve years later the family re-
moved to Cincinnati where Sorg, young
as he was began to assist in the support
of the family. His first employment was
Gaming chairs, but the work was uncon-
genial, and in 1856 he apprenticed himself
to IL foundry firm His good habits, in
dustry and marked ability won for him
in time the foremanship of the large CON
Germ, with which he continued until 1864.
when he and John Auer began the manu-.
facture of plug tobacco on a small scale.
SOrg's business sagacity made the concern
mammoth success He now employs
over 2 600 people, and his plant is, with
one exception, the largest in the United
States He has never cut wages, has never
had strike and never suspends work be-
cause of business depression, prcierring
rather to lose a little money than throw
his men out of employment
Last May Mr.. Sorg' Democratic friends
prevailed upon him to run for congress tc
succeed the late George w Houk He
was elected and in November last was re-
elected and enjoys the distinction Of being
one of the two Ohio Democratic represent
atives who weatherod the political cy-
clone Mr. Sorg is interested in many
business enterprises in Middletown.
He encourages thrift among his employ
ees and has aided many of them. Not
long ago foreman who had long been in
his employ built house, but found that
he had exceeded his bank account by $500
in completing it. He asked Mr.. SOrg fol
the money, and the manufacturer advanc
ed it, taking the foreman's note for &
year. At the end of the year the foreman
paid the note and interest. An hour later
Mr.. Sorg called him into his office, com
plimented him upon his thrift, busines:
methods and past faithful services ant
presented him with the entire sum.

There are two pecularities about cham
payne drinking which are capable of OK
PLANTATION The one is the rapidity with
which til wine exhilarates. notwithstand
ing the small proportion of alcohol 1t con
tains This is due to the carbonic acid gas
evolved, which is inhaled while drinking,
for it is the property of this gas to expedite
the action OF anything with which it is
associated Il is estimated that one glass
of champagne is equal in effect to two
glasses of still wine of the same strength
and is more rapid in action The other
popularity is the sort of lethargy or dead
ness which follows after excessive cham
payne drinking. This is analogous to the
stupor produced by carbonic acid gas, but
1t is assisted and intensified by the excess
of sugar deranging the stomach The un
digested sugar turns into acid and thus
it is that too much champagne is apt to
produce dyspepsia. York Recorder

More Elegant Than a Jacket, It Is Ensi
For an Amateur to Fashion-IIow
Regulate Length and width-New Iilous,
Waists.
Copyright, 1895, by American Press Associa
ton
The latest move of Importance in dress
making is the renewal of the dolman cal
or mantle without sleeves. These are
made long, generally reaching below the
knee. They are adapted for evening
wraps, for the street and visiting, and
they are always more elegant and dressy
than any jacket for women. The jacket is
better adapted for youth and for ordinary
wear.
In making a three-quarter dolman man
tie the pattern can be drafted easily from
the diagram herewith, the front edge be.
ing laid even with the selvage, with as
much turned in as may be desired. This,
however, must be allowed for before the
rest is marked 1t will be noticed that on
the shoulder seam there is one flattened
space that is inches wide, and following
the two lines down is to be laid in plat,
which allows for the opening for the
/ hands. The width across the bust from
the X marks, aside from the space marked
for the plait should be the size of the bust
| from the arm size and should be easy, not
tight The circular line shows the rounded
shoulder portion. The width of each front
at the bottom should depend somewhat on
the figure of the wearer, but good way
to get it is to pass tapelinc around the
body where the bottom of the mantle will
be and get the number of inches, divide it
into three, two parts for the fronts and the
other for the back.
The back part is cut on the fold of the
cloth, and the lower portion is not divid-
ed. The jog is to be laid in two fiat plaits
ut the waist line. The center back seam
should first be scanned and pressed fiat,
these plaits laid in and sewed down under
neat arrowheads. The front plGst should
then be laid and stitched to the lining
The lining of the front part should be mar
rover by the size of the plait than the out
side. The lining and outside should b.
sewed together, turned and pressed. The
plait will then fall naturally into place
and can be basted and later stitched into
place.
The armhoies are marked 90 and
should be cut and bound from the inside
The shoulder seams should then be sewed
together and then the back and front
portions bastcd carefully, beginning from
the bottom. The back portion should
have been lined and pressed and the seam.
basted firmly about two inches from the
edge to allow the lining on that side to lie
back and not be taken in with the seem.
When the backs and fronts are bastet
together, the upper portion of the circular
part will be gathered closely into the space
left for it and sewed firmly to the shoulder
The lining all around is left loose from
the material, and as soon as the seams arr
pressed it should be felled down very neat

ly, the stitches taking hold upon the
pressed seams only. Another slight press
ing with medium hot irons will add to the
smooth appearance of the garment. An
ease belt or ribbon is to be fastened at the
waist line in the back to hold that snug.
There remains now the ornamentation.
The collar may be plain rundown, or
there may be "A high mcdicis, or, in fact,
any kind proving becoming sprung
or slashed ovcrcape is sometimes added,
particularly when the mantle is intended
for evening wear, and this is bordered
with fur of some kind When the mantle
is made of plush velvet or heavy silk, n
rich trimming of passemonterie or heavy
lace applique or silk embroidery may be
put on, and border of fine black skunk
skin is always an addition.
When it is desired to lengthon this into
a long cloak, all there is to do is to length
en- the lines, always making 1t little
larger around the bottom, as 1t is longer
When the garment is made of wooden
goods, it must he evenly shrunken before
it is made up; otherwise dalnpness may
entirely change its form. When 1t Is dc
sired as Il warm winter wrap, 1t should be
interlined with flexible flannel made for
the purpose, or it may be lined with fur
such as Siberian squirrel. Many ladies
have old circular capcs lined with THAT
fur, and it can be utilized to line mantle.
The cape. if any, to wear over this style
of mantle must fit the shoulders flat and
fall smoothly down. When finished, the
lady who likes to wear distinguished
and elegant garment will be pleased
y word may DO said on the distinguish
ing feature of the new blouse waist and
how to attain it. There are full gathered
fronts and backs, with belts ms usual, but
the front of the waist is rounded down
ward about two to four inches. The fronts
are lined somewhat stifily, and then the
gathers, or plaits, as may he, are taken in
and sewed to the belt. This sets the front
out sharply just above the belt. Many al
them have straps down the center of the
shoulders, and to these the waist is gath
cred in Garibaldi style. Others have the
sleeves heightened ON the top and the OK
ira length plated up to the collar in II
plat Il inches wide.
