A prophetic dream.
Providence in 1900: Beautiful new State
House; new Normal and High schools;
new postoffice covering the site OF former
Grosyenor estate; new depot and
terminal facilities realized; belt
line around the city, obviating
the necessity OF freight cars passing
through principal streets cross towp
system of electrics and transfer tickets;
population 100000, and The NEWS build
ing at Turks Head vieing with any In the
city for elegance and style OF architec-
ture.
An idea.
Some one OF sympathetic nature with
the power of facial expression could DO
good paying business If they would put
an sad" in the papers TO read something
like this: "Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear
ye! All persons having any hard
luck stories 10 dispose OF may draw near
between the hours OF 10 q. m. and p. IN.
and they shall be heard. Worrying done
at short notice and satisfaction guaran-
teed. Fee for worrying from fifty cents to
five dollars, according to subject"
II you are expecting letter, and you
wish a certain amount of worrying done for
fear 1t may contain bad news instead OF
some samples OF new dress pattern, the
charges will be moderate.
Don't worry. Look pleasant and while
in a happy frame of mind with. your new
suit, or hat, or dress, or tailor made cos
tune go TO Morton's, 81 Westminster
street, and have dozen OF those excel
lent photos for s1.50. Nothing exactly
like them were ever offered before in this
city and that is the reason the sittings
are so numerous.
The Manager of the Misft Clothing
Parlors, 1853 Westminster street, informed
me this morning that line of Sl5, SlS and
S22 spring overcoats would be sold Tor

ridiculously wonderful price OF si.y7. Are
you ready? Go!
Money.
The coin OF the realm is said to be the
root of all evil. Nay, nay. AS matter
of fact il is the basis of much good. Ii is
only the greed and avarice that makes
money a factor of superlative misery, and
the love of money above everything else
that causes anguish ana bitterness OF
feeling if, perchance, 1t is suddenly taken
away.
Speaking OF money, it takes comparatively
little TO invest in the method of treat
ment introduced by those physicians at the
Perkins House, corner Chestnut and
Broad streets. The inhalation of the new
chemical gas .is a positive germ-killer
and therefore absolutely indispensable
in the treatment OF blood and nervous
diseases. i have taken the trouble to in
vestigate the claims made and find they
are worthy of the earnest consideration of
any who may be afflicted. Consultation
and trial treatment free.
1t is always best to get q move on before
the first of May.
The man who made such a mess OF it
putting up the stovcpipe last fail can take
his dinner down street in few days.
When man talks back to his wife he
loses more than he gains.
Love makes fools of wise men-and
women. OLD VET.

A Battle
on the
Border.

bat at valverde. n. NJ. The troops on
both sides were chiefly local volunteers,
although the Union ranks were led by
regular officers, and many of the Confed-
crate officers had served in the old army.
The campaign opened with the advance
Of General Sibley up the Rio Grande

He arrived opposite Fort Craig on the

manded at the fort. A part Of the garri-
son, which numbered 4, oC0 mon, cross
ed the river and drove the enemy from
his chosen positions. AT o'clock the
victory seemed to hang over the Union
banners. In desperation Sibley sent two
storIning parties against the Union
flnnlls. Tho stormers were on foot, armed
with shotguns, squirrel rifles, revolvers
and lances. On the onion right Halls
battery, supported by Kit Carson's Col.
orado volunteers and battalion Of reg
ulars, drove back the stormers with
fearful slaughter, but on the left there
was another story TO tell. Captain Alex
ander McRao's battery formed the chief
element of strength on that flank. IL
was manned by regulars and defended
until every horse and half the cannon
GERS had been shot down. Major s. A.
Lockridge, All old army officer and for.

For the children: Fashion sheets give
but scant room and attention to gowns
for children under 16; and yet how many
families have three or four under this
age, and now spring is coming, moth
ers are anxiously wondering how the
spring and summer wardrobes OF these
young hopefuls are to be filled.
The Kate Grcenaway frccks, so long in
vogue, are not in favor this season. They
were quaint, but were constantly tripping
the wee wearers, and now the dresses are
worn short, to the knee, and give the
chubby, active, little legs more freedom.
Simple chambray frocks, dainty blues
and pinks, are shown at openings,
finished by yokes OF embroidery,
yokes perhaps only two inches in depth.
The dresses were gathered on the yokes
with fall of narrow lace. Cling
hams and lawns make up so
prettily for the younger set, as we'll
as their elders. The lawns trimmed with
lace edging and insertion make up very
effectively, and so many OF the summer
frocks are finished by bertha of lace or
point lace collar. Some OF these
frocks would be sweet simplicity itself il
it were not for the elaborate neck trim
mings and fancy collarettes. Plaids are
to be worn also by the midgets, and
and they are specially pretty for
them. Mothers darlings, three and four
years old, are pictures in their plain kilt
skirts and plaid blouses trimmed with
straps of ribbon over the shoulders.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Grease may be removed from wooden
goods by sponging it with strong cold
coffee.
Wear old loose kid gloves wien iron
ing, as they will save many callous
spots on ones hands.
Fine laces may be cleaned By being
packed in wheat -four and allowed to
remain twenty-four hours.
1t is well to keep a small paint brush
convenient for busting the crevices IN
furniture, and all spots that cannot be
reached with the dust cloth.
Apply powdered alum to fev5T s7i~.
This will prevent it from becomi.i
very unsightly or noticeable.
1t is a good plan to burn pine tar oc-
casionally in a sick room, as it is an ex-
cellent disinfectant, and it also induces
sleep.
If a shirt bosom or any other article
has been scorched in ironing lay it
where the bright sunshine will fall di-
rectly upon it.
When anything has been spilled on
the stove, or milk has boiled over and
suffocating smoke arises, sprinkle the
spot with salt and it will quickly dis
appear.
The teeth should be brushed I'D and
down, rather than across from one
tooth to another, as the particles to be
removed are generally between the
teeth. Remember also that the insides
and tops Of the teeth need brushing as
much the outside
The abolition or rather the moder-
alton Of heavy winter fanne1s is part
OF the new doctrines of hygiene Many
doctors now advise a graduation of fan
mel underwear if they advise it at all,
and point out that it is much better to
increase the outdoor wear as occasion
requires than to keep the body incased
on warm, muSgy winter days as well
as on sharply-cold ones in the same
weight of flannel.

DURING the trial of a man named
Heron, in Wichita, for violating the
prohibitory law, his liquors lwere
brought into court under the search and
seizure clause of the law, and in order
to convict him it became necessary to
prove that the liquors were intoxicat-
ing. William Meyer, secretary of the
Anheuser- Busch Brewing association
of that city, was subppnaed as an ex-
pert to prove that such was the case.
In his testimony he stated that the only
means he had of knowing that beer was
beer was by the taste. Judge Tucker
then ordered the court bailif to pull a
cork from one of the bottles, which
was done. The judge then presen ted
the bottle to Mr.. Meyer and ordered
him to drink its contents. Mr.. Meyer
very properly, as we think, refused to
comply with the order. The judge
then sent him to Jail for contempt of
court. We don't know anything about
Mr.. Meyer, but we do know there are
many men engaged in the liquor traffic
who never touch a drop. and this at
tempt of Judge Tucker to force Meyer
to drink was an outrage on common
decency, and his commitment to jail
was an act sayoring of brutal tyranny.
Although engaged IN the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Meyer may have considerations
scruples against drinking himself. OF
he may belong to that class of men who
dare not take drink. because when
they do take one their appetite is such
that they lose control of themselves
and drink to excess. No Judge has the
authority to compel any man to drink
intoxicating liquors.
