full Of good wholesome advice which many house
wives could have listened TO and proht"d by
Mrs. Campbell took up the scamy side OF the
question and while she admitted tha, the mis-
tress was in many cases, the abused one sh'
pleaded the cause OF the house servant most
ably and concluded by declaring tina, the condi-
ton OF affairs the fault OF either mistress
or maid hut Of perncious system.
Mrs. Campbelrs lecture took the form OF an IN
forrna, talk. and she spoke Of the system OF 40
mestic service from Colonial times until 1870 from
which date the conditions have altered apsoiu'e'!'
owing to Immigration.
"In the United States" said the speaker. there
are 10000 domestic servants. and 5oo' o'o women
Half OF these servants fare well. ana the o'h'r

The fancy for striking bicycle cos
tunes which has ravaged Paris has
penetrated in a milder form to Eng
land, and sympathies Of it have al
ready appeared here. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, if really well dressed women will
ever "go in" for anything much more
striking for the bicycle than for horse
back exercise. English women indulge
in slashed skirts Of gray, dark blue or
other dull, staid shades, the slashings
exhibiting an underskirt Of yellow, red,
pink or some other brilliant color,
and the hat being trimmed to match.
The new waists are making up in
shoulder ruffles what they lack In
sleeves, although in some Of the most
approved models the sleeves are no
smaller than heretofore. Ribbons are
very beautiful this year, and enter in
to the composition Of many charming
bodices. Sometimes there are bands Of
ribbons alternating with lace inser-
ton, sometimes embroidery or mousse
line de sole takes the place of the lace.
Usually the stripes are arranged to run
lengthwise. OF course silk lining to
match is required. The Powered rib
bons, now so popular, lend themselves
particularly well to this style.
White petticoats have decidedly re-

From the Washington Times: The
largest brandy still in the world is in
Southern California. 1t is located on
the famous Ell Pinal vineyard, and has
only been completed about one year.
To look at the great concern one sees
only a conglomeration of pipes, boilers
and tanks. When running in full blast
the still is capable of converting $4,000
gallons of wine into brandy every
twenty-four hours. When one looks at
1t he cannot help wondering what be-
comes of all the brandy that must be
manufactured in the world. In a
month they could turn out enough Of
the stuff to put the whole population Of
city like New York under the in
flnence of liquor. 1t required over four
years to put up the still.

M'KINLEY'S VIEWS.
HIS FORMAL LETTER OF
ACCEPTANCE.
one Third Devoted to the Opposition
OF Free Coinage-Protection Held to
he OF Primary Importance to Our
Country's Prosperity.

CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 27.-Major Nc
Kinley's letter of acceptance was is
sued yesterday. 1t is devoted princi-
pally to the discussion of what he
considers the great questions of the
neutrality-suspicious., honest money
and reciprocity. About one-third Of
the message is devoted to a considera-
tion of the free silver question. He
announces that he is unalterably op-
posed to any such policy. He attempts
to show that the Republican position
in the pending campaign is no new
departure" but that its proposition to
MAINTAIN gold and silver coin at a
parity has been the unbrolen policy
of the Repu blican party since 1873. He
says the farmers and laborers would
suffer most by the adoption of free
coinage.
The silver question, in his judg.
ment, is not the only issue affecting
our money in the pending contest.
He considers the declaration Of the
Democratic and Peoples parties for
unlimited, irredeemable paper money,
as the most serious menace to our
financial standing and credit that
could be conceived, and appeals to
patriotic citizens to promptly meet
and defeat it. He condemns as sin
the highest degree reprehensible" all
efforts to array class against calss,
1.-THE classes against the masses Sec
tion against section, labor against
capital, the poor against the rich,"
or interest against interest. He con-
siders protection as an issue of SUI
preme importance, and observes that
while 1.-THE peril of free silver is q
menace to be feared, we are already
experiencing the effect of partial free
trade" The one he would avert, 1.-THE
other correct
He recommends the immediate re-
storation by Congress of the reciproc.
ity sections of the tariff law of 1896,
with such amendments, If any, as
time and experience sanction as wise
and proper. The underlying princi-
pie of this legislation, he declares,
should be strictly observed. This, he
explains, is to ''afford new markets
for over surplus agricultural and man
ufactured products without loss to
the American laborer ola single days
work that he might otherwise procure.
He discusses foreign immigration
briefly but forcibly. He commends
legislation that will prevent the COM
ing here of all who make war
uponour institutions" or profit
by public disquiet and turmoil. He
favors liberal pensions for the soldiers
and sailors.

TOWN WIPED OUT.
Ontonagou, Mich, Population 2, 600 Suf-
fers 8 Million DolIars' Loss.

fers Million Dollars Loss.
GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. 27.-Ontona-
gop, Mich, was practically obliter-
ated by fire yesterday afternoon. The
population of 2, 900 are homeless and
800 are in want No loss of life has
been discovered yet.
The Diamond Match company's
plant there and about go million feet
of lumber were destroyed. The total
loss is estimated conservatively at
million dollars.
AS nearly as can be ascertained to-
day, the company's loss was $4,000, 900
upon planning mills, box factory and
drying kilns and $1,000, 00U upon lum-
Der. The loss in the rest of the
town is about So, 900, 900, with $780,
900 insurance with the Flescheim
agency at Menominee, Mich, and
the Douglass and Van Orden agencies
Many persons walked to Rockland,
fifteen milas away. Houghton and
Hancock are collecting provisions and
clothing. A car load of supplies is
about to be started from here. A re-
quest for aid has been sent through
out the region.
The fire is believed to have origi-
mated in swamp, but just how Is un-
certain.

NOISE OF RAILROAD TRAINS.
German Has Devised q Method for Pre-.
venting 1t.

German Has Devised q Method for Pre-
venting 1t.
A German engineer has devised a
method for preventing the noise made
by trains in passing over iron bridges
that may come in for consideration.
He puts decking Of one and quarter
inch planks between the cross Orders,
resting on three-inch timbers laid on
the bottom flanges. On the planks a
double layer of felt is laid, which is
fixed to the vertical web of the cross
girder. At the connection with the Cir
der timber joint is placed on
felt, and the whole is bolted to the bot
tom flange Four inches of slack gravel
cover the decking, which is sloped
toward the center of the bridge for
drainage purposes. A layer of felt is
laid between the timbers and the planks
they rest on, and the iron work in con-
tact with decking and ballast is asphalt.
This method is found very satisfactory
in reducing the noise of passing trains,
and it is to be hoped that it's principle
will soon be largely adopted in this
AllCduy luc tudL SOuo
consideration is due to ones neighbors
in the matter of piano practice and
other domestic noises is becoming re-
cognized, and quite trade has sprung
up in the "deafening" materials. OF
these, probably the most in request is
mineral wood, a layer Of which is
placed under the floor, in the walls, and
over the ceiling if need be. In a room
thus surrounded the most rabid musi-
clan can do his worst without interior
ing in the least with the peace of mind
of the rest of the inmates of the house.
Another easily-handled material which
forms an effectual dam for the vibra-
ton of sound waves, and which is not
open to the objection which mineral
wood presents, of turning powdery, is
a quilt composed of long, fiat blades of
sea grass, which cross each other at
every angle, forming innumerable air
spaces, which give almost perfect con-
ditions for outlining both heat and
sound Baltimore American.
