LADIES' CLOTH.

Bloadcloth or ladies' cloth is always
in fashion when braiding is revived,
and, as has been already stated, braid
ing is very largely to be used. Even en-
velvet and eamels-hair serges 'here ore
rows of braidirg, while the smooth
cloths are fairly covered with it. From
Sl.5O upwards ladies' cloth can be
bought, which is wide, and if well
sponged, is a most satisfactory mate

cloths il is we'll not choose too heavy
a weight, particularly if the skirt is to

warmth in cloth or wooden materials,
of us, through hard experience. In
coats and tight-fitting waists :he
smooth cloths are more becoming than
the rough ones, for they seem to fit
the figure better, probably on account
of being more closely woven. But this
year it is not safe to say arbitrarily
that either one is the only possible
material. All the different shades of
blue. brown. green and gray. besides
black. are fashionable, but black leads
all in the smooth cloths. In the mixed
cloths there is pepper-and-salt c.m-
bination which is immensely fashion
able, but not becoming to everybody.

needs pink and white complexion TO

A feature of the inflow of gold is that
money rates keep up at q retty stiff

Collections are only fair. The clearings

SILVER FETCH DYING.
Chicago Bankers Get Important New
from Pivotal Points.

Chicago Bankers Get Important News
from Pivotal Points.
The free silver idea is making steady
and rapid progress toward the vanish
ing point, which is oblivion.
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and
even Nebraska and Kansas have seen the
movement toward the white metal at
it's height and have survived. They are
fast getting back into their old solid,
sound money condition. There is no
longer any doubt of il. The free silver
scp iment is subsiding, and with such
pronounced downward motion that it
cannot be mistaken.
The most conservative business men
in Chicago, the bankers, have been hear
ng this sort of thing for weeks. They
refused TO accept it as gospel truth
until every shadow of doubt had been
swept away. The evidence now is so
strong they believe it.
The Chicago bankers hear this thing
from careful, thoroughgoing business
men like themselves, their country cor
respondents throughout the west. who
come into contact with the voters. The
country bankers all agree on it. The
free silver wave which begun to sweep
across the prairies early in the sum-
mer undoubtedly lifted thousands of
roters from their feet, but the crest of
the wave has passed over the heads.
and they are now sliding down graceful
~ on the other side.
The pronounced subsistence of the sill
yer sentiment in the states mentioned
Is especially important in a political
way. because these have been called the
pivotal states of the campaign. II has
been conceded. even by the most radical
democrats, that If these states, and Illi-
nois in particular, could be won fer Me-
kinney he would be elected. The coun-
try bankers who know whereof they
speak are confident that all of the m are
safe for Mckinley. and Illinois is the
saf fest of the bunch.
When talk for free silver rose loud
and fierce Immediately after the -e-
publican national convention declared
for the maintenance of ''the existing
gold standard" and. again. when Will
liam j. Bryan was nominated for pres.
ident on free silver platform, the Chi
cago bankers could not believe all that
was told them about the force of the
silver idea in the north and middle west
Knowing so well what would be the re-
suits of free coinage, they could not be-
lieve that any great number OF people
would embrace the idea as a panacea
for ill Industrial. social and economic
evils. They began to inquire. From

POLLY FOOLED HIM.
The Voice of Parrot Mistaken for That

An amusing scene occurred in quiet
uptown street last night. a young
freshman who is counting a rosy
checked servant in one of the houses
in the thoroughfare callel about his
usual time in the evening. just as he
opened the iron gate leading into the
basement yard he heard a voice say:
'Ilullo, Pat"
~Hullo, yourself" replied Pat.
"Hullo. Pat" said the strange voice
again.
Pat gazed all around him, but could
see nobody, and onee again lie heard the
voice say: "Hullo, Pat"
as that all you can say: Hullo. Patr
Where the divil are you, anyhow" an
swered Pat.
"Pat, you're a fool" said the voice.
"Begorra. you're liar. whoever We
be-" shouted Pat, as he looked blindly
around for his insulter.
Pat, you fool" again uttered the
voice.
I'm no fool, whoever We are" called
out Pat, wild with anger. IAN if ye2
will show yerself I'll prove IT to yez."
Foolish Pat" came the reply, &c
companied by hoarse chuckle.
Pat was furious and thoughts OF his
rival, Mccarthy. Immediately came in
his mind.
'Show yerself, Mccarthy, only show
yerself. Mccarthy, an I'll punch in the
face Of yez, will Iwill." lac shouted,
as he lanced up and down.
"Pat. you fooli Pat, you fool, To.
no, hol Ha. hal" shouted Pats tor
mentor.
BY this time Pats coat and waistcoat
lay on the ground. and he had his
sleeves rolled up TO his elbows and was
tearing around like a hen on a hot
griddle. There's no telling what would
have happened. as it was nearly the
time for the policeman on the beat 20
pass that way, when the basement door
opened and Pats sweetheart came out.
On seeing Pat she uttered little scream
and exclaimed: Are you crazy, Pat?
An what has came into you the nightp
Put your clothes on, man."
"You spalpeen. Pati Foolish Patti
Ho, no! Ha, ha! Go home, Pat" said
the mysterious voice out of the dark
ness.

Pat. as he continued his war dance.
"Ah, you mustn't mind that, Pat"
said bis sweetheart. you're donkey,
surely. 20 be minding the talk of that

The advance IN the rate of discount by
the Bank of England from two per cent.
where it has been since February. 1894,

further large shipments are looked COR

In the meantime there is a good sup
ply of commercial bills following and
incidental TO the movement of the crops.
The balance of trade is increasingly in
our favor while imports of foreign n,er-
chandise have been unusually small. OF
course, the gold already arrived has inn
parted positive relief to the money mar
ket, and while there is no booming conf
dence such as would follow the removal
of all uncertainty about the financial
situation, there is little improvement

every state there have come reports of
OBJECTIONS from the free-silvcr heresy,
and careful Investigations of reported
"free-silver strength" have proved the
shallowness of such claims in almost
every instance.
The gold reserve situation is better
than il has been since the sale of The

artificial effort 10 maintain the fuad

from bankers. The gold that is build
ing up the reserve is the product OF

air. with its many impurities, overhead

is one of the principal predisposing
causes to colds and catarrhal affec-
tions. Where a patient or invalid is
confined to bed, if the shoulders are

current does not strike MIN too direct
