THE HoopsKRT TO RETURN TO FASHION

dame with vein of originality con-
ceived the idea of the picture hat,
built after the fashion of some famous
painting, and wore 1t, notwithstand-
ing the fact that 1T was not mode.
This slight departure from established
rules spread far and wide, and it has
now come to Paris.
Frenchwomen are quite open to the
suggestion of lndlvidualism in fash
ion, and women in prominent social
positions who are fair, clever and ad-
lnired have become advocates Of the
new thought. They nre now taking
the "ideas" for the works OF art in
the wardrobe from the picture CALLER
les. The great masters, whose works
decorate the Louvre. are made the ar
bitrators of what is worn.
The rule is to try the various
styles, and when one is accepted, it
should be worn at least Two seasons.
Another chronicler of fashions as
serts that the hoopskirt is bound to
be with us again before another six
months. We can only hope, adds the
Chicago Times. Herald, that the first
woman to reappenr in one will not share
the fate of her unfortunate sister who
wore one in the streets of New York
in 1910. She was arrested by the po
lice.

consequence, the Consuls represent

partment.
The slaughter house in Chicago is a
den of horrors, foul and ill-smelling.
The very atmosphere can breed moth
ing but disease, and even though the
meat were sweet after killing it could
not remain so amid such surround
ings any length of time There is
practically no attempt at cleanliness.

CHIC HATS FoR AUTUMN.

The fall hat differs from the sum-
mer one in one particular very strongly
Whereas the summer hat had to DC
picturesque or lose all claim to dis'
tinction, autumn headgear has to DC
merely chic. Broad brims, crowns ol
many indentations and the like are
tabooed, and the trim little shapes
which are most capable of developlng'
into the "chic" beneath skiliuI
milliner's touches have taken thef
places.

the search for some members of their
family. Fears and lamentations, anx-
ious faces and agonized EXPRESSIONS,
wringing Of the hands and tearing Of
the hair were all witnessed around the
scene of death and destruction and the
stOutest hearts were moved to pity.
The homes of the killed and injured
men were near the furnace, and the
streets in that vicinity were filled with
mass of weeping, frantic, half-crazy wo-

Preparations for the regular morning
tap were in progress when the explosion

result. The officials at the pant were
unable to ascertain the extent of the
damage to the furnace, but it is pos
sib.e that it may be banked and re-
paired, instead Of being cooled, which
would necess,tate the rebuilding of the
interior.

Pittsburg, August 2O.-The National

trade. The conditions were found to
be better than at any time since the
last meeting. Members of the organ

OF the factories in the country. The
demand is on the increase, and it was
decided to raise prices from $215 to
S2.25 per keg. It is also probable, al
though the matter was not generally
decided upon, that this advance in
prices will affect the workingmen,
probably 5000 in number, who join in
the benefits derived from tho increased
demand.

The Tarin-Again.

A special from Washington city 10 inv
Baltimore Sun OF yesterday spas OF the
Republican party and Its prospects ]"
next years elections as follows:
conservative Republicans are becoming
thoughtful over the political outlook. Inc
buoyant confidence which iolloweu '"e
great victories Of last fall Is fast d'sap-
nearing under the wave Of returning pres
perjty which is sweeping over the coun-
try. Hard times as the pretended re-
sults Of Democratic ascendancy Was their
only stock in trade. With their oisap.
pearance the Republican leaders are eit
without an issue"
We foresaw some time ago that If the
New England and Middle states INSIST
ed upon making the single-sold s'abuaru
the principal issue in the next presiden-
tial campaign, the tariff would SINK INTO
comparative insignifcance Ani we tx
pecied the Republicans Of The sections
named to insist upon the issue Which
most nearly interested them-nanely'
the money question.
Whilst II does not surprise us TO hhu
the Republicans trying to reconcile lfeir
protectionist notions with their currency
theories. we consider the following specu-
lations as Interesting. We quote the
Suns correspondent again:
"The most significant symptom OF tne
times is the growing want OF harmony
among the hgh-tariff influences ana the
inconsistencies they are constantly com
hitting. The truth is. process OF as
jntegration has set in. The growth OF
our exports of foreign manufactures Is
the thin edge Of the wedge which must
ultimately split the protectionist follow
ing to pieces"
Ex-Secretary Whitney has for some
time been able to look upon these things
with unclouded vision. as has also, We
are inclined TO think. Senator Hill. MT
Whitney has said for months past what
he is reported to have repeated in New
York recently-namely. that 1.-THE tarir
will not figure in the next campaign.
If not, silver will. But how will silver
figure IL the Democratic administration
and the Republican party agree in their

O'FerrnIl and MacCOrkle.
New York Evening Post)

The contrast between yigorus execu-
tive and a nerveless one, and the diner-
in,, effects upon the Commonwealth OF
the noljcies pursued by two such Gov
errors are illustrated in the states OF
Virginia and West Virginia. The Flat
Ton coal region lies partly In the Oid
dominion. but more largely in West Nir-
einia. one railroad line serving the whole
district. For months there have been
troubles from striking miners In both
States. The disorder in each became
too great for the local authorities 10
deal with. Thereupon Governor OFerrall'
Of Virginia, promptly called out the
troops and restored order Governor
NIacCorkle. OF West Virginia, on the other
hand hemmed and hawed. threw an re-
sponsibllity upon the helpless Sheriff OF
the county affected. and declined TO can
upon the militia. The result Is that MIN
ing operations In Virginia have gone on
without interruption, and the volume OF
business has greatly increased; while
across the border many hundreds OF
miners who want 10 work on the terms
offered b. the operators have been so
terrorized that they had TO stop ana are
living upon charity, and West Nirglnlans
fear that the coal trade thus lost 70 the
older State cannot b. recovered. Inc
people are now calling so loudly upon

A Cheering Sign.

The New York Financier had on Sat
urday last the following paragraphs;
"a very cheering sign. even though II
may be due to temporary causes, Is the
stoppage of the movement from the In
terror TO this point. The greater percent
age of trade balances must have been
cancelled long since. but money apparent
ly was sent here for the small interest
II would earn. Last weeks shipments
were less than sl.G1.O0). and reports from
different centres show that trade IL ac-
tive enough 10 require all the money that
the banks can furnish for the purpose.
Talk Of higher money rates in New
York still continues. but the outlook does
not warrant a prediction Of much OF an
advance Just at present.
THE New York banks increased their
deposits 81 .930330 during the week. and
gained S7jj. so in cash. the loss of S3l.-

gain OF seS7. 400 In legal tenders.

LocaI issues for This Year.

The Lynchburg News argues that as
there was no place for silver campaign
in Kentucky this year. 50 there is no
place this year for a silver campaign in
Virginia. Here we have nothing to elect
but members OF the Legislature, and the
LEGISLATURE can have nothing TO do with
the money question in any OF its aspects.
Nothing but State and local issues can
properly enter into the campaign In the
fall elections. and 1t would be FOOLISH
and suicidal TO attempt to inject any for
eign issue" The News is friendly 10 sil-
yer. but more friendly to the Democratic
party. Its sensible language is comment
ed upon by the Danville Register as fol-
lows:
THAT is as true as preaching. With a
constitutional convention, the effects OF
the new assessments, good roads ana
other local questions TO occupy our at
tention this fall We should let the money
question severely alone. We VIII have
enough OF that next year. Personally,
we are opposed TO free ana unlimited
coinage Of silver. but when we come 10
select a Democratic candidate for the
Legislature. or to vote for one al the
election, we propose 10 ask no question as
10 his financial views II he is all right
on the local questions that are confront
ing us"
