years ago, when church organs were re-
garded with disfavor by many people, II
was proposed to introduce one into New
England meeting house, one Of the pillars
of which was an old man of Quaker blood.
Ho was one Of the most violent oppo-

so strongly that the person who was col.

to call upon the old Quaker for subscrip-

State Provident association, in regard to

from the Boston News Bureau, relative
To the failure of the association. The
News Bureaus item was TO he effect that
the Granite State would be closed up and
that investors would loose from $780,
900 To $l,000,000 mostly falling on

African ivory Is now conceded TO be the
hnest. The first quality Of this comes
from near the equator, and IL has been re-
marked with regard tn this fact that the
nearer the equator the smaller Is the ele-
plant, but the larger the tusks. The ivory
from equatorial Africa is closer in the
grain and has less tendency TO become yell
low by exposure than Indian ivory. The
finost transparent African ivory Is collect

There IL no doubt that the saloon run
by John SteiDbach on Tezcuco street,
Hancock, is a disgrace to the town and
would be to the worst managed munci-
pality in the county. The fact OF two
young boys obtaining liquor there and
becoming intoxicated on the street il
being investigated by the authorities
and the matter should be pushed II pos
sible. Many hard working man has
left his hard-earned wages in the vile hole
in single night and more than one man
caa tell of having seen Steinbach come
out and hauling some poor hall drunk
fellow in from hall block away. Those
interested in the Law and Order League
movement would much better expend
their energies ON such hole as this
than on well regulated places run by law
abiding men. One saloon OF this char
acter is worse in a town than fifty places
where liquor is sold, but where men OF
character are in charge. May should
see this disgrace done away with.

The r port that William Evans, for

Falls in charge of the mills OF the Clark
Bigelow mines there would re-
turn shortly TO take charge OF the Tam
arack mills. seems to be but rumor.
At least the man most interested ia such
a change, John Gundrv, the present
superintendent of the Tamarack and
Osceola mills, says he has heard nothing
of it and it seems likely that he would as
bis position would be affected by such a
change. On the other hand he might
wish TO keep the fact to himself for a
time. The Copper Journal gave the
News credence and the publisher claims
he knew whereof he spoke. In connec-
ton with this change, it il said that the
assays Of the sand running into the lake
from the Tamarack mill il not satisfac-
tory. 1t is said that Mr.. Evans will
bring back with him Henry Evans. for

Ing to the goods of which they are made,
and IL Is necessary to sew fine wirt
around the edge to keep them in position.
The high medici collars, so much EN-.
ployed for jackets and wraps, require to
be sustained In the same manner. Other
wise they lose their shape and become
crooked and limp.
The bows, tAoux and flower tufts which
were worn on each side Of draped collar
last year are no longer seen. The fash.
ionable draped collar has coques or q large
bow Mt the back, and the only other orna-
ment is pin or buckle In the middle of
the front, unless there Is trimming around
the top, such as narrow ruche or turned
down points Of lace. Close collars of metal
galloon are feature of the season and
are very effective. All close collars which
are made separate from the bodice need to
be tackled to 1t front and back to keep
them in place. II they are not thus Sc
cured, they are almost sure to slip to one
side or rise above the plain collar under
meath.
Ostrich tips are much used for decorat-
Ing evening bodices. A cluster Is usually
placed on one shoulder, the other having
a bow of ribbon or a few flowers. Feather
boas of delicate tints are also worn with
evening dress, being thrown around the
neck between dances. They are prettier
than the light shawls formerly employed
for ballroom wraps, but afford far less
protection.
The sketch shows an evening gown In
gold colored broche silk. The skirt has a
long train and is edged by a line Of velvet
pansies. The tablier Is framed by two
plated panels of lace embroidered with
gold. The bodice has two lace draperies
In front and round, fiat bertha Of broche
silk, which passes over the top Of the arms
and forms the only sleeve. The round
decolletage Is bordered with pansies. Pan
sizes are also placed at the front Of the belt,
