thing for dress, and carriage wear. Little mob caps of fine lace have sur rounding frills of mirror velvet and a wide handkerchief bow right in front. This is something quite new for the theatre. Poke shapes are making head way slowly, and their lack of favor is readily explained for most of the examples are ugly. Exceptions to this, however, are found, and the one shown in this column is surely pretty enough to prove Gozen rules. It is made of ecru beaver felt with a low crown and a moderately wide brim dented in back. It is trimmed with a peasant bow of velvet whose ends are embroidered with vari-colored beads and jet in fanciful design. The bow Is caught in tight knot from which rises an aigrette with beaded tips. Two long plumes lying on. either side of the crown, their tips resting on the hair behind complete the trimming.
 Soft disks of velvet or felt are used in the trimming of almost all toques Such disks are drawn over fillet-lilSe band that sets loosely on the head The edges of the disk are drawn grace fully down against the hair and there the edge is lifted into becoming turn under which a bunch of violets rests. The whole must look @ good deal as if 1t were happen-so held on by the hat pin, and not real hat. The disks may be elaborated with embroidery or spangling. FLORETTE.

Ex-Gov Boies of Iowa in his speech at Omaha told the Democrats how to win. If the next national Democratic convention will discard platitude of every description, he said commit the party uneuuivocally to ratio at which gold lnd silver shall be equally freely coined, and point out in explicit terms sthe legislation that should be adopted to preserve the parity of the two metals and do this in rational and reasonable way, the masses of American voters will come to the aid of party thus com mitted, and the Democracy will again be triumphant"

People in this country may be suf- ferers to a slight extent from the China Japanese war in having to pay more for their Chinese tea next season, 50 the tea merchants think. It is sug- gested that if China is compelled to pay a heavy war indemnity to Japan she may impose heavy export tax on tea in order to help pay it. It was ex- pected that the war would cause a Shortage in the crop this year, because the laborers being called to military service, but this has not been the case. The war broke out too late to have any effect on this seasons crop.

A curious illustration of the power of smagination has been furnished by Mrs
 Delia Hogan of New York. While in Brooklyn trolley car she saw a flash of electricity and fell paralyzed on the floor. Taken to the hospital, not an in dication of electric shock could be found. The physicians decided that nothing ailed her but startled imag- Hnation, and when they at last induced 01er to try to rise and walk she did so with perfect ease. There was nothing the matter with her, and the doctors Are fully convinced that she received ho shock at all. But the sudden fright taaye her a serious start.

swarmed all over his unsightly body ana
were soon swarming over the bow OF the

three or four off the back of Jim's neck,

amounted to the same thing.

the torture of having no supper at all.

sacre at Kucheng is not given, but it is
easy to guess that the government
does want so much light turned to
that affair as it would be likely to get
from Englishmen and Americans 1t is
very easy to go through the form of an in
vstigation without getting at. the bottom
facts, and there is plenty of ground for
suspicion that that is what the Chinese
government intends to do and constitutes
the reason why it doesn't want prying
Englishmeu and Americans around. The
Vegetarians, to whom the attack upon
the missionaries is generally attributed,
constitute a very powerful sect, and a
hostile to the present dynasty. In it's pres
emit weak condition the government is
probably afraid to bring on a contest with
them, and therefore hesitates to permit
ain investigation that will surely bring
out the real facts and make it incumbent
upon it to proceed against this band, OF
certain members of it. Unmatched it
will be perfectly easy for the government
to manufacture support for some sort OF
an explanation of these outrages that.will
not precipitate it into conflict with the
.Vegetarians; but this cannot be done if
foreigners are present at the investiga-
ton. 1t is precisely the same policy that
the Sultan tried to adopt toward the Ar
menian outrages, and doubtless has the
same motive behind it, namely, desire
to conceal or pervert the real facts. Great
Britain, which is always quick to protect
the rights Of Englishnen, wherever they
are, will probably see to it that the
Chinese government plays no tricks in
this business, and that the real facts are
brought to light and the guilty persons
punished, and our govrnment ought to
cordially second her efforts. No Ameri-
can missionaries were killed, but their
escape was simply a piece of good luck.
They were beaten and several of them
seriously hurt.

MADE AN ELECTRIC SPRING.
Many Invalids We're Cured There Before
the Deception Was Found Out.

In one of the shipyards of Cleveland
there is young man who demonstrated
to some people of the Rocky mountain
country the great influence Of the mind
over the body, says the Cleveland Leader.
In their cases this influence was sufficient
to cure various diseases until they dis
covered the hoax and then relapse came
to some who had not as yet Thoroughly re-
covered.
! The young man and his companions
were not posing as priests of any peculiar
faith, but were simply looking out for the
dollars that might come from their
patients, and the cures were in no wise
credited to faith but to the natural
properties Of an electric spring. This
they claimed to have discovered under the
bluff at Pixies Peak and over the water
they built fancy sanitarium. Soon
people came from far and near, and not
only came bnt were cured. From various
diseases the patients obtained relief, and
the sufferers from rheumatism were
numerous, some being terribly crippled.
The phenomena of the spring were re
markabie and unique. Those who bathed
in it's waters felt pleasing currents of the
subtle energy coursing through their
anatomy, and when O cup (Which was
ohained) was touched to Its surface a
shock was felt by the arm which held tho
cup. Marvellous success came to the SAM
tarium, and wealth was rapidly coming
to the young men during the several
months that the cure was in operation,
until one day party Of electricians
yisitAd the place and discovered the secret
Of the springs peculiar action. There
upon, fearing the wrath of the people,
the young men fled, leaving everything
behind.
The visiting electricians strolling over
the mountain, and found wires, and these
were traced into the spring Beneath the
rocky bottom of the basin there was a
network of the conductors. The secret of
the shock obtained at the drinking place
was found to lie in the fact that the water
was connected with wire, and when the
cup touched the surface circuit was
formed. The discovery Of the fraud de-
stroyed in many cases all the good that
had been done by the treatment

1t is not altogether pleasant for Ameri-
cans to discover right on the eve of the
international contest that the yacht upon
which they are relying to keep the cup on
this side of the water cannot stand a stiff
breeze, for stiff breezes are very likely to
be around in September. In their pursuit
of lightness the builders appear to have
sacrificed too much of strength. Perhaps
the trouble can be remedied before the
races begin. but the mishap of Tuesday
will considerably abate American conf
dence in the Defender.

The contractors who are constructing
the drainage canal in Chicago are feeding
their workmen on horse flesh. Old
broken down horses are bought at from
81 to ~ apiece and converted into food for
the laboring men. The price the laborers
pay for it is about cents a pound. The
Board of Health say they are going to
break up this business but unless they
can show that horse meat is unhealthy or
induce the laborer not to eat it it is a
little difficult to see how they are going
to do it.

The Constitution forbids cities and
towns to incur debts in excess of five per
cent. of their valuation, Augustus debt
is already over the limit, but some of its
people want new city hall, and have de-
yised the scheme that was outlined in
yesterdays PRESS to get it. THE lawyer
who concocted the scheme thinks it will
hold water. Perhaps SO, but nevertheless
it is an attempt Ito evade the constitu-
tional prohibition and is not good ex-
ample for the capital city to set; es-
pecially as the thing sought to be accom-
plished is far from being a necessity.

Mora's attorneys are to get good thing

them 40 per cent. of the whole, or $500, 600.
Mora will get 5000, 600. AS it was really

Kentucky is having one of the. hottest
political campaigns it ever witnessed, and
the Republicans are sanguine that they
will carry the State. Joint debates are a
prominent feature of the canvass The
Republican candidate for governor
avows himself a believer in a single gold
standard and is preaching that doctrine
wherever he speaks. The Democratic can
didate is a free silver man, but he is on
platform which declares against that
policy, and is naturally having very
hard time to convince the voters that he
is dealing honestly with them. or course
the chances are against the Republicans
carrying a Southern State where the
Democrats control the electoral machin-
cry, but it is not an impossible task they
have before them, as was demonstrated
in Tennessee, where the returns as made
elected the Republican candidate,
though the legislature subsequently threw
out enough to reverse the result

There is much well founded criticism'of
the placing of an electric light pole d.
rectly in front of the soldiers monument
in Monument Square The pole seems
to have been placed there with the idea Of
lighting the monument, but it needs only
glance down Congress street, either in
the daytime or the evening, to see that
the pole partly intercepts view of the
monument and destroys its effect entirely.
That pole ought to come down. If the
city cannot afford to keep the lamps burn
ing by which the monument is sur
rounded and which are essentially part
of it, being designed like the pedestal by
the great architect Hunt, they had better
cave it in darkness. Certainly the at
tempt to light it up by placing an electric
light pole directly inssfront of it is absurd.
