 She whose wardrobe is large has much to think about in the preparation of fall and winter dresses, and she also has responsibilities in caring for the present stock. One wealthy woman who is painstaking in the latter point has three large, well lighted and venti- lated rooms that can be made absolute ly dark by drawing the shades. Here that portion of her wardrobe reposes that is not in use. She has several figures" standing there. and gowns that must not be crushed are put on them. To keep folds and puffs from settling tissue paper is laid in about them, but it is claimed that @ gown keeps best when 1t hangs as it does when worn, if protected from the wear and tear of usage and the injury of dust and light Then all these gowned figures are folded in great sheets of thin paper; cloth settles and gathers dampness. Very filmy summer dress es, if not put on form in this way, should be hung from supporters, as men hang their coats and over them as they hang large sheets of paper should be drawn. In all cases the room where dresses are stored should be frequently aired and if possible exposed to sum shine. If the room must be a dark one then all the dresses should come out every Jew weeks and be aired and stunned. FLORETTE.

Mayor Hendrick has vetoed the as- phalt resolution and the Board of Al dermen has promptly vetoed his veto. It is queer work. We believe that the mayor Is fully justified in his action, and that he has done right He doesn't want any responsibility for such aston ishing performances as have taken place or for others in the same line that may take place. So. like the honest and honorable man and public officer that he is, he clears himself from the mess, and does all he can to take New Haven out of it.

where it will be picked up by the Spreckles company tugboat Relief and carried over the bar to the open sea, Here the steam collier Mineola, belong ing to the Southern Pacific company will take charge of the raft and tow It to san Francisco. expecting to make the trip within five days
 Almost the entire lot of piling Is for the Southern Pacific company, it talk ing 300,000 feet, for which it pays ten dollars per 1000 feet The remaining portion of the piles will find a ready market in San Francisco, as Columbia river pine is most sought for Tor use Tn piling in San Francisco bay. The spar timber, about 25,OO0 feet will be dis posed of at local shipyards without difficulty, as the supremacy of such timber for spars is recognized the world over.
 The entire cost of the raft Is S34,O0o including all expenses of toWage and the insurance. The raft itself is an in- genious contrivance, and has been ful- ly patented by the owners, in order to protect themselves against competi- tion. The loss of the first raft taught the owners a valuable lesson in con struction, and, as now devised, the on- ly danger to be apprehended IS unusu- ally boisterous weather at sea, some thing exceedingly rare at this time or the year. A great feature of the raft is an immense iron chain, the single links of which are enough to task the strength of man in lifting. The chain passes through the entire raft, end to end, binding the huge timbers securely together through an elaborate system of keying. In addition to this, there is an endless number of smaller chains crossing over and under the raft trans versely, for the better protection of the logs and preventing their movement while being drawn through the water
 The construction of these rafts gives employment to a large number of men at Stella and vicinity, and results in a large amount of money being annually distributed, good portion of which finds it was to Portland. The construc- tion of not only one but several simi- lar rafts next season is in contempla- tion, as San Francisco affords a good market for piling. Hitherto timbers for piling purposes have been secured in Humboldt and Mendocino counties, California, but the inferior quality of the timber and the distance the logs have to be hauled to tide water proves far more expensive than the procuring of suitable logs in Oregon and Wash ington waters.-Morning Oregonian.

THE ONE RESTRAINING FACT.
 Do you know that you're hindering fifty people that want to get down to their business?" yelled the motorman of a Wentworth avenue car the other morning to the driver of coal wagon just ahead.

 At this moment the driver of the coal wagon turned leisurely down a side street, and the angry motorman said, as the car shot ahead again:

In September, 1882, a Mexican gen. tieman took out a policy of S10,000 in a we'll known American life insurance company He was given the option of paying his premium in gold or Mexi- can money, the standard of which is a silver dollar, the policy to be paid at maturity in the same coin. He chose to have his policy issued on the basis of Mexican money. In June of the cur rent year the policy became a claim on the company through the death of the insured, and $10,000 in Mexican money was paid the widow of the deceased The widow, however, is now living in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and in con- yerting the proceeds of her policy into the currency of the United States she received just s5.847.

Pig-iron traders in the Birmingham tAlabama) district are developing an active trade with Europe. Iron men there say that the stagnation in the American iron market, as the result of the silver agitation, has pulled prices down in America to such an extent that it becomes more profitable to sell in Europe, even with the extra burden of ocean freight rates, than in this coun- try The sample shipments of Alabama iron made to England and Italy several months ago underwent satisfactory tests, and as the result more orders and inquiries are coming in.

A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune calls attention to the fact that in nearly every State laws exist limiting passenger rates to a maximum per mile. This being the case" he says, "should Bryan be elected and the free coinage of silver become a law, while prices on all kinds of products of the farm and factory might possibly advance to correspond with the fifty cent dollar as basis of value, rail- roads under existing laws could not ad- vance their charges, and as a natural result could not advance the wages of their employees"

When the new clock of St. Paups ca sthedral, London, was put in position about three years ago, the dials had
 their central parts fitted with white glass for illumination at night. The white glass has been found to make the dials less distinct by day, and also not to be in architectural harmony with the cathedral. Instructions have there- fore been given to the makers of the clock to fit in new dark central parts to the dials. The total diameter of the di- als is about seventeen feet, and the central parts are ten feet in diameter.

In Oregon the silver issue
created a great deal of confusion
during the last week of State con-
ventions. The republicans nomi-
mated one free silver and one gold
standard congressman and placed
them on a Sound money" plat
form. The democrats put up two
free silver candidates and placed
them upon a CONSTANT platform.
There is now strife in both parties.
The free silver republicans are
complaining of unfair treatment
and the gold-bug democrats are
clamoring for an independent cam
didate in at least one congressional
district. The democrats are hope
lessly in the minority in the State.
Their houndering is not from any
desire than to gain an advantage
that may bring defeat to the party
in power. The populists are a
power in the Webfoot state and if
they could be landed in the demo
cratic camp with naught to modest
or make them afraid the 'combina-
ton would he invincible. The
Irritation is desperate one between
the two parties and silver is the
bait that is offered to unite them.
The republicans have been indis-
Greet, Strife has engaged their
forces which should have been di-
rected against the common enemy.
With fusion of democrats and
popu;ists on straight free silver
issue the republicans may have a
desperate battle if they champion
the gold policy to openly.

Tn. history Of all countries
point to the danger to come from
political revolutions. Whenever
radical ideas have been accepted
bv Republic, extremes have fol-
lowed with unpleasant results.
The progress ofevery great nation
has been by steady growth and
not by violent eruption. What
we may call the populist idea has
had its counterpart III every civil
ized government OF the world, and
the influence has been retrograd-
ing. There is an element in every
locality that opposes the guidance
Of sound reason and wholesome
stability of purpose. The ex-
tremes in politics are dangerous.
There is danger in the concentra-
ton of power. Personal liberty is
unsafe IN the keeping of parties OF
great strength and the extremes
of anarchy and monarchy have a
happy mean i'll true Republican
rule.
Within the past five years the
populists have gained control OF
numerous commonwealth. Al
most an universal consequence OF
this accession has been abuse OF
power, dishonest administration
and general business depression.
It is not a mere coincidence that
brings social and business disorder
in the train Of populist success.
It is the natural result of this fol
lowing Of heresey, instead of the
mastery of the principle of political
economy.

BOTH DELEGATIONS ON HAND.
A LIVELY TUssEL BEFORE THE
CONVENTION TODAY.

The Seating of the Delegation From
Chatham Of More Interest Here
Than Anything EIse-The Finan-
ciaI Plank a FOregone Conclusion.
sRvannahians Who Are watching
the Convention.
The news from the gubernatorial con-
vention at Macon will be awaited with
the greatest interest here to-day.
The decision OF the convention in the
matter Of the two contesting delegations
from Chatham is of more importance in
the eyes Of the average citizen just now
than the financial plank to be adopted by
that body. The financial plank is a fore
gone conclusion anyway, while nobody
knows what the convention viii do with
the contest unless it is the astute poll
tieians who have been gathering at Macon
for the last two days.
Hon. J. J. McDonough. Hon. A. H.
MacDonell and Capt. John Flannery Of
the mass meeting delegation, Hon. Pope
Barrow. Hon. Herman Myers and Mr.. J.
p. Williams of the primary delegation,
and Messrs. w. w. Starr, p. A. Stovall,
Emile Newman, NJ. L. Byck and others,
who are neither delegates nor partisans,
left for Macon last night. The other
halves of the two delegations were al
ready on hand
The decision in the contest is a matter
Of doubt, and the partisans of each side
were busy protesting confidence of a IA
voFable decision for the respective sides
last night. Maj. p. w. Meldrim and Mr.
w. q. Charlton spent yesterday in Macon,
and so did President w. W. Osborne of
the Citizens Club. Mr.. A N. Manucy,
MAJ G. NJ. Ryals and Mr.. Harry Willink
and there is no doubt that the wires have
been pulled in every direction. They are
doubtless pretty well crossed by this time
Both sides are making a determined
Tight. The democratic mass meeting dele
gates realize that recognition by the con-
yention establishes their position at home
the Citizens Club men realize that even
partial recognition for their opponents in
Macon weakens their hold here, and they
are ready to move heaven and earth to
prevent anything of the kind Political af-
hliations throughout the state, the nomi-
nations to be made by the convention.
ana the states to come before the next
legislature will all have their effect UPON
the decision. There need be no surprise if
each delegation swears before the fight is
over that it represents the original silver
party in Chatham county. The decision
VIII be reached by u o'clock at furthest,
and will be promptly announced in Savan-
nah.
