Who shall say that the admins tration
of state affairs is not improving when
SO many raids on the treasury are being
prevented. Populist Treasurer Biddie
prevented a big steal by the health
board and more recently Auditor Cole

insurance commissioner and also officials
who ride on passes and would collect
mileage. The old adage that an ounce
of preventive is worth pound of cure is
nowhere more applicable than in the

EMPEROR HADRIAN's DUST
A Valuable Work of Ancient Art for the
Pennsylvania Museum.

PENNSYLVANIA, Nov. 29-Within the
next few days valuable antique bust,
with an exceedingly interesting history
will be added to the archaeological col
lection in the museum of the University
of Pennsylvania. 1t is a marble repre-
sentation some what smaller than
life, Of the famous Roman Emperor
Hadrian, who reigned from A D. 1T IN
til 1873
The bust is in an excellent state of
preservation and shows a mild-featnred
man, with the characteristic bullet head
of the Roman emperors.
In the bust the tip of the nose has been
restored, but the rest is in almost as
good a condition as when it left the
sculptor's hands.
1t was excavated in the vicinity of the
Dardanelles about "a years ago aud was
at once smuggled into Russia in order to
avoid seizure by the Turkish govern
ment. which lays claim to everything of
this kind that ia discovered within its
jurisdiction.

Trend of Emigration.
Here one may note curious reversal
of the course Of emigration. In the set
Element of our part of the Ohio and Wa
bash valleys from 1920 to 1850 there
was large and continuous stream OF
movers from all this mountain region.
They came in great skiff shaped covered
wagons, usually six or seven children to
the family and seldom less than three
dogs. They spoke of the land they had
left as mo place for a poor man." ana

tide set in. At first a very few ventured,
but by 1875 there was big movement,
and now there are hundreds of instances
where the sons and grandsons of the
emigrants of $4,000 own the large
farms their ancestors had looked on as

have found ont what this soil is good

THE vote in the Trans Mississippi con
gross on the silver question is a fair indi-
cation of the sentiment on the subject all
over the west and south. The issue for
or against free coinage of silver at ratio
of IS to 1 without waiting for any other
nation, was squarely put and resulted in
vote of 1877 for silver to 56 for gold. If
the issue were placed as squarely before
the people there is little doubt that the
same ratio would be averaged through
out the United States.

straight skirts and guimpe waists, fin
ished at the neck with wide velvet
collar. A school dress Of plaid, illus
trated in the New York Sun along with
other styles, has two tucks i'll the skirt
and full waist, with gathered collar
of shot silk, which also forms plait
down the front. Another gown of mixed
brown and red wool is trimmed across
the waist with bands of brown velvet,
which trim the epaulets. A more dressy
gown of cornhower blue fancy wool has
fawn colored cloth bretelles over the
shoulders and carried down the skirt in
front. Over this are little pointed tabs of
cornfiower blue velvet, strapped across
at intervals, and the collar and belt are
also of velvet.
Coats for girls under 10 years of age
are long enough to cover the dress en-
tirely, and are made of rough and plain
cloths, which are very thick, soft and
glossy. Velvets, too, are used for small
coats, and green, ruby red and brown
are popular colors, and fur is the trim
ming for both cloth and velvet. Ernine
is pretty on dark blue velvet coats and
brown fur on the red and green. Tibet
fur, both black and white, is especially
pretty for children's garments and a
trimming of mink tails makes a green
cloth coat very stylish. There are pretty
REFER jackets of navy blue cloth for the
warmer days and stylish jackets of cloth
in different colors for the older girls. A
little cloak of dark red cloth is belted
in at the waist and has two capes cut
out in points on the shoulders and
trimmed with Persian lamb.

GOWNS FOR YOUNG GIRLS.
Winter Fashions For Children Copied Aft
err the Styles of Their Elders.

Gowns for small girls and their
clothes in general are especially inter
esting Just at present, and while there is
not unlimited variety in the styles they
follow in the wake Of fashion closely
enough to need particular consideration
twice a year. The problem, however,
does not present very many difficulties
beyond the price, now that everything
they need can be found ready made in
the most approved fashion. Very full
skirts, basGues and pulled sleeves are as
decidedly feature of the young girls
fashions as they are of those for her
elders, and if she is just entering her
teens she can have them all combined in
ono gown. The skirts are gored to hang
in full folds at the bottom, except for
girls under 10 years of age, when they
are made Of straight breadths plainly
hemmed and reach Just below the knee.
The waists of these gowns are either cut
square in the neck to wear over a white

collar of plain cloth, silk or velvet, or
with plain waist, simply gathered

Shades of red, brown and green are

not an unusual trimming for bright
