The speaker was a girl, scarcely as high
as an ordinary trunk, with the brightest of
blue eyes and the suDniest of golden hair
She didn't look over ten years old, but she
marched up TO tile baggage room with the
dignity OF a grandmother, and clasped tight
ly to her was a doll almost as large as the
little lady herself. The particular trunk
OF which she spoke was about the size OF a
cigar box.
Though the Pennsylvania station was
thronged with departing Christian En-
deavorers. Assistant Baggage Master Miller
dropped everything and iiastened TO attend
to the dininutive customer, Ii was 4 sight
which willlong be remembered by the wait
ing passengers for they were all locking
at her-to see the air OF offended dignity
which came into her eyes when Mr.. Miller
held the trunk up on three fling gersand called
to Baggage Master Phillips to lend hand
in carrying it. Then she explained.

That is probably the smallest trunk ever

will be all kinds OF trouble to handle, but you
can wager that it will be treated as If it

Why is it BARRIERS act as though the

White felt Alpine hats trimmed with stiff
wings are worn by women who consider the

Is there ever one woman who reads all
the books she lugs away from home, making
her trunk heavy. even though the literature
itself is light?
A woman may own fifty gowns, but it is
safe to gamble that there will come some
time when she will hopclcssly declare that
she has nothing suitable to wear.

HIRING A BEAU.

TT CURIOUS custom prevails in some
provinces OF Holland during the
~ carnival season. Young women
4 OF the working class, especially
domestic servants, who have no
sweetheart Of their own, are in the In bit Of
hiring followers for their Sunday out,
or for the whole of the carnival period.
These lovers are by no means TO be had
very cheap. Often two or three maids
will club tog ether and share lover among
them, If he comes too expensive for one girl.
This temporary lover has many duties to
perform. or cuurse, lie must be good
looking and weli-dressed and an efficient
and indefatigable dancer, ''fit TO be seen
with anywhere he must, likewise, POS
sess good conversational powers. Besides
receiving variety OF valuable presents
from his girls he is found by them
i'll victuals and drink. II a young woman
can afford to engage q swain all to her
self, so much the Better, for the hireling
often develops into Il real lover, and ulti-
ma tely into Il husband. 1t can thus be said
that in some districts Of Holland the girls
do all the wooing.

Cyclinp Gloves

Women abroad who ride the wheel are
patronizing glove made especially for
the purpose, and sold under the name OF
"cyclng gloves" although equally suita-
bic for riding and driving. Two feathers
are employed in the manufacture Of this
glove-namely, tan doeskin on thumb and
back, and tan cape on palm and under
wrists, with ventiia tioD holes between the
fingers. 1t is claimed that this glove has
the greatest advantages for cycling pur-
poses, admitting OF perfect freedom to the
hand, Il firm grip of the machine, thorough
ventila.'~u and everlasting wear

NHEELM0NAN'S WEAR

IT CAPE has been invented TO pro-
tect the venturesome bicyclist
~ who insists upon riding in the
Il L rain from the rheumatism, which
would naturally follow in the wake
OF her folly. 1t is long enough 10 come over
the handle-bars. 1t is made or water
proof cloth and is lined with ruiIScr cloth.
The gloves which properly clad bicyclists
wear fastcn in the back. There is no
opening over the palm of the hand, so that
the pressure on the bandle-bar does not
bruise the wrist. There are perforations in
the palm to allow the entrance Of air.
The sailor hat which the average bicy
ciist wears is or a deeper tan straw than
the sailors which are used on ordinary
occasions. The dust of the highways and
the action of the sun are less perceptible
on these than on any Others.

New York, Nov. 7.-The development
In the contested congressional fields
have been few, but in one respect, i'm
portant; they practically demonstrating
that the gold forces will fail to control
the Senate in the Fifty-tifth Congress.
which control yesterday was deemed
probable. At that time the apparent
division of the forces was rs follows:
Gold Republicans 3s, gold Democrats

Silver Republicans o, silver Demo-

One of the gold votes In that table
was credited to North Dakota, but 1t
now appears that the legislature Of
that state will elect free silver advo.
cate to succeed Senator Hansbrough.
To emphasize the truth of this fact,
Hansbrough, who made the campaign
as candidate for senator, has an
nounced his withdrawn from the con-
test. This will make the Senate n tie
between the gold and silver forces, and
should Senator Dubois assertion OF
last spring-that no financial or tariff
legislation should be accomplished that

Congress and there be no individual

Crn.hcd b, an Electric Car.

Denver. Nov. S.-As Mrs. Amanda
Griffith OF 2S0O Curtis street was en-
dcavoring to cross the ear track oppo-
site her home. at = o'clock yesterday
afternoon. In order 10 board an ap-
preaching wcst.bound electric car. she
was ovcrtnkcn by II and crushed to
death beneath the wheels. Her
manglcd and horribly crushed body
could not he removed before the
wrccking apparatus Of the Tramway
company was brought to the scene.
and 1t was only got out with difficulty.
The responsibility Of the accident. as
judged from the testimony OF a mum.
Der of persons who witnessed II. was
probably due largely to the impru-
dcnce OF Mrs. Griffith In attempting to
cross the street ahead OF the rapidly
approaching ear. and perhaps partly to
the city ordinance which permits cars
to run Mt so high n rate of speed. Ac-
cording to the testimony OF the Tram
way employees the car ran 105 feet nf-
ter the currcn, had been thrown or
and the brakes applied.
