most to the waist.

SOME OF THE DETAILS.

It will be noticed whether her seat
is IN one Of the moderately costly,
moderately roony pews in the body of
the church and whether she fills her
racks with handsome large service
books, bound in flexible Russia leather
or Morocco, bearing her name on the
covers. Her engraved silver pew plate
will be scrutinized; her sense of good
form judged by the size of her regular
Sunday contribution and her generos-
ity measured by her gifts to the choir
fund and her offerings on special days.
In the fashionable church however,
vulgar extravaganza is as deeply de-
plored as abject stinginess, and fine
conservatism governs everything. Not
more than five dollars every week in the
ordinary collection is considered sufa-
cient and not less than twenty-five
dollars on the big feast days or special
occasions, as hospital Sunday, etc. COW
ers that ground Of ones duty. Among
the dozen or more ORGANIZATIONS such
as the Kings Daughters, Day Nursery,
Girls Friendly society, etc, allied to
each church, a woman member is al
most obliged to connect herself with at
least three. She may not have the time
or inclination to work actively in these
guilds, but she must show her sym
pathy by paying fees of membership
and making donations at intervals.
At Thanksgiving, Christmas and Eas-
ter another big tax will be levied in
the form of contributions for decora-

as connection with a leading church
often leads to great things socially, for
her who has ambitions to rise in that
direction, quite aside from her natural
religious aspirations, the expenses of
Sunday attendance must be laid out
with discretion.
A woman who wishes to introduce
herself in a prominent church must
dress well-not showily, but with quiet
richness, and with sufficient regard to
fashion and detail to lift her above
criticism.

If You propose to attend a fashionable

HURTS BLACKBURN'S CHANCES.
The Vacancy in the Kentucky Legis-
lature Cannot Be Filled
This Session.

FRANKFORT, KY. March 9.-Senatol
Weissinger died at II 80 O clock this morn
ing. The Joint session of the Legislature
at II o'clock was held merely in formal
compliance with the law. When called to
order, Carroll arose and explained that an
agreement had been reached by which
only two members for each side should
vote. Senator Bennett voted for Boyle
and Senator Bronston for Blackburn. The
others failed to respond to their names
with the exception of Poor, who voted for
Petit in order that the Populists might be
represented. The session then adjourned
until noon tomorrow.
The vacancy caused by the death of Sem
ator Weissinger cannot be filled in time
for his successor to take h is seat. The law
requires eight days notice for such elec-
ton, and the Legislature ends by legisla-
tive limitation on March II.
Senator Weissinger, shortly before his
death, was visited by many of his col
leagues of both houses, and among the last
words he uttered to those of his own finan-
cial views was request that they stand by
their sound money principles to the last.
The promise was given to the dying Sena-
tor, and whatever hope the free silver
Democrats have been cherishing of the
election of Senator Blackburn will never
be realized. Senator Weissinger's friends
look upon him as martyr and will never
desert the cause for which they claim he
died. Senator Weissinger's death re-
moves one of the most prominent
figures in the upper house of the Ken
funEu I.aniG1att1ra and Of ho
determined opponents OF the return OF
Senator Blackburn to the National coun-
cils. He was the head and front of the
nine "sound money" men in the Legisla-
ture who refused to go into the caucus
which nominated Blackburn, and have
steadfastly refused since to vote for HIM
under any circumstances. at several
stages of the contest Mr.. Weissinger could
have elected either Blackburn or Hunter
Mr.. Weissinger was about 48 years of
age and unmarried. He was born in Tay-
lorsville, Spencer County, Kentucky where
his family have long resided. After gradu-
ating at Harvard he studied law at the
university of Louisville, and began the
practice of his profession in 1872. He took

was his first appearance in public life, and
he fully demonstrated his abilities and
firmness of purpose, and his strict integ-
rity of character in the brief career allotted
to him. He was the leader of the opposi-

OPPOSED BY Mr. DILLON.
Says That England's Increased
Navy Is a Menace to the
United States.
This Statement Is Refuted and the
Estimates Submitted Are
Approved.

LONDON, ENG, March 9.-In the House
of Commons to-day Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary of State for the colonies, said
that strong representations had been made
on behalf of Canada against the perma-
nent exclusion from Great Britain OF
Canadian live cattle. The Government,
the Secretary said, had the matter under
consideration.
John Dillon, Nationalist, asked if there
was any foundation for the statement that
five British warships would arrive in a
short time at Curacao.
William McCartner, Secretary of the Ad-
miralty, replied in the negative. He said
that as far as he was aware the Govern
ment had no intention of dispatching war
vessels to Curacao.
The House resumed the discussion of
the naval estimates. John Dillon, the
leader OF the anti-Parnellites, and William
Redmond both contended that the naval
proposals were intended as menace to
the United States, and for that reason
every lrishman would oppose them.
The Right Hon. George Goschen, First
Lord of the Admiralty, declared that the
statement was absurd. Mr.. Dillon, added

States animosity toward Great Britain, of
which happily there was no indication in
the American newspapers.
Continuing, Mr. Goschen said that the
naval programme was settled in Novem-
ber last, before any of the events that had
caused the recent anxiety had occurred,
and were deliberately framed upon the
policy that had long been pursued. 1t
was not intended to attack any body unless
Great Britain was first attacked.
The Government entertained no idea of
an adventurous course anywhere on the
globe. 1t merely desired to be prepared
for possible eventualities.
Walter HAZEL, advanced Liberal mem
ber of Leicester and treasurer of the Peace
Society, asked the Government to make a
pronouncement in favor of international
arbitration.
The Right Hon. A. J.. Balfour said nobody
would be pleased more than himself to see
international arbitration established, and
steps thereto would be taken.
1t was carried by majority of
ZIG, the division showing 261 members in
favor OF it to 45 against.
