New York, Feb. 2i-This bulletin was
issued late last night at the Salvation

"Commi ssoner and Mrs. Booth Tucker

The news came by cable from the in

SMALLER SLEEVES AND NEW
SKIRTS.
From Harper's Bazaar.

London and Paris tailors are adopting
smaller sleeves. In London they call them
coat sleeves, while in Paris the Marie
Antoinette sleeve prevals-an equally
clinging sleeve. with two odd little puffs
around the elbow, and perhaps a graceful
ruflle of lace falling on the hand. What
takes away the coat look from the sleeves
is the large collarette or cape or epaulete
OF some shape which usually protrudes
beyond the shoulders. This gives great
breadth. and will gradually accustom us
TO tho change from the greater to the less.
Whether this is merely a sensation of the
dull season or will become general in the
spring romans 10 be SEEN Some small
sleeves are worn here but as yet they have
made no decided impression.
The pleated skirt will continue to be
seen in dresses of the spring wollens. 1t
has directly in front a deeply folded and
very broad box pleat, faring wider at the
foot, with large side-pleats turning away
from 1t to meet In the middle of the back.

A Rotten Record Brings Pride to the

They swell with qualification over the
fact that all the appropriation bills
have been passed!
There was ley any trouble in get
ting appropriation bills passed by q
republican congress. Under Reeds
rule in the Fifty-first congress the
house spent a billion dollars, and
the speaker was very proud of it.
But he vas not so pulled up when the
returns came in the next November and
he saw his party buried under an ava
lanche.
Is it a thing to be proud of that the
house has Appropriated $~2o,ooO,OOO or
o in excess of the revenues and
made but one effort, and that not an
honest one, to supply the deficiency?
Was the unconsidered Endorsement Of

A manufacturer of farm implements
in an adjoining state, who is waiting
for McKinleyism to bring the promised
good times, mentioned his hopes and
expectations to the editor of a journal
devoted TO his industry. In reply he
received the following: "You have my
sympathy, not on account of ~fve-cent
potatoes and Accent wheat, but be-
cause of your extreme credulity in
thinking for a moment that the election
of Mckinley win make anything better
than we have now. 1t is not necessary
for you and me to quarrel about it; the
chances are he win be elected. At all
events, if money can buy him the place
he.will get it. Four years from now we
will be just as much poorer than now
as we are worse off now than 20 years
ago. It's all right, though, it takes a
good deal Of sweating to make people

-McKinley gtands for q doctrin!

Mckinley stands for a doctrine
whose benefciaries can afford to pay
well for the special privileges secured to
them under the bill bearing his name.
They can make no better investment
than in buying enough official positions
of the Mckinley stripe to enable them
to run the United States government.
Once represented by their own plant
tools, they can secure such tariff legis-
~lation, such legislation in the interest
of trusts, combines and pools as they
may desire. One of the strongest fea-
lures of the campaign thus far carried
on is that the masses do not grasp this
fact or are too apathetic to make the
fight on behalf Of good government that
it suggests. Mckinley cannot be for
them and at the same time for the pow
erful representatives of syndicated cap
ital that are behind his candidacy

The panic of '93 caused hard times.
1t was caused by bad monetary laws.
Every business man knows that Some
republican politicians admit it. But
the republicans saw in the hard times q
chance to score a point and make cap
ital. They charged it onto the demo-
cratic tariff. 1t was, with it's slight
reductions, the cause of the panic.
Only a restoration OF the discarded
policy can restore prosperity. They
preached this doctrine necessarily.
They knew better; their intelligent
business men know better, but they
