ocratic mOnometallist, but it looks at
present as if the issue between gold and
silver was to cut very little figure in
this congress. Mr.. Leonidas Livingston
of Georgia makes no secret of the fact
that he wants to lead an anti-Cleveland
fight and incidentally support a very
vigorous foreign policy. And there are
several Democrats in a very bad humor
about the judicial defeat of the income
tax and anxious to make fight thereon.
Hon. Nelson Dingley.
Looking from the galleries any time
the house is in session-for he is never
absent-one may see very near the mid
die of the Republican side a spare and
sallow man, with hair originally very
black and straight, but now we'll sprin
killed. with gray. bending over his desk
in position that would bring him a
rap from the teachers ferule in any
we'll regulated school, and almost in
cessantly working at columns of figures
or writing on figures. Seeing him from
a distance for the first time one would
think him native of some much warm
er cline than Names, and it would
seem that he had hung over the lamp of
study till the juices Of life were almost
exhausted, but once on his feet and speak
ing he grows rapidly animated and
pours out history, statistics and logic in
a rapid torrent. This is Hon. Nelson
Dingley, lawyer, editor, ex-governor
and doctor by virtue of an LII. d. from
Dartmouth college. He is 81 years old,
has served seven terms in the house and
is entering on his eighth. In voice and
person he is confessedly lacking in some
elements of leadership, but in accuracy
and fullness of information he has no
superior in this congress and probably
no equal.
recently had long talk with Gov
ernor Dingley on the subject of prohibit
tion and Names experience Herewith,
and though it is outside of current poll
tics and the work of congress yet some
things he said are of great interest. He
maintained that the law against selling
liquor is better enforced than that
against theft, and as well enforced,
upon the whole, as any law whatever,
and that the results are eminently bene-
fetal. and in many ways that no one had
expected, also that the people are so well
satisfied with it that opposition has
practically ceased, and a generation is
now coming to the front in which tenn

Mr. Reed could effect this, the house is

BASTING THREADS.
Notes OF Interest to tho Amateur Dress
maker.

maker.
The amateur dressmaker rarely knows
the value of good deal of basting, says
writer in Farm News. For instance,
dress skirts, especially henrietta or 9th
CT weaves of silk and wool goods, are
apt to wrinkle near the foot. The out
side goods seem to slip away from the
lining. This can be obviated by basting
outside and lining 1engthwise every five
inches in stitches three to four inches
long. Always use good thread-70 will
be strong enough. This season the stiff
fleming is put about five or six inches
deep around the flaring bottom between
the outside and lining. Always cut the
lining first by the pattern (those offered
by this journal at 10 cents are excel
lent), put the channels fiber on the lin
ing and stitch it at the top. Then put
on the outside, basting it from the bot
tom up at intervals of not more than
five inches. Then haste all around and
cut out. If the edges are to be whipped
as they must be unless the goods are
very closely woven-now is the time to
do it; next put together, commencing at
the top. Fit the skirt to the wearer be-
fore sewing the seams. AS the present
4e1SA1Ou ISQulIOS TIC SA41 u W LII as hSeaI-
ly at the waist, this is done by pinning
up wrong side out.
In making over dresses, where the
skirt is too short for the present fashion
piece the material at the bottom and
cover the piecing with rows of narrow
velvet ribbon-these rows are now very
stylish-braid or one row of wider rib
bon. Bias folds Of the material of the
a7c cfu1iCl, 1OT7tf 11oJ
cult for tie home dressmaker to adjust
and if not very neatly made are insight
". Bias bands are not used this season.
a pretty dress seen lately was of soft
wool goods and had been a light tan
color. It was dyed at home. The skirt
was about three inches too short and was
pieced at the bottom and seam concealed
by two inch satin faced ribbon, cotton
back, which cost or s cents per yard.
Il am told that part cotton ribbons are
often used by dressmakers On the parts
of costumes which will not be subjected
to hard usage The back of the waist
was good, but the fronts were worn. A
soft silk blouse front of changeable
light and dark brown with a green bro
caded figure hid the front, while small
jacket of velvet cut with square ends
and lined with bit of green silk con-
cealed the worn places about the arm
holes. A strip of velvet 9 inches wide
was OVERLAND with coarse cream lace in
sorting and put down the center of the
blouse, which hooked on the left side
under the edge of the jacket. The sleeves
were close fitting to the elbow with
large puffs made of the dress goods
and velvet in inch strips, as the old
puffs were not full enough. A yard and
a half of velvet and 20 inches of the
silk, besides the ribbon, was all the new
material needed. OF course there was
the expense of new Innings. And, by. the
way, old Innings may be stiffened and
used for smaller gowns in this way
pin the lining smoothly to table or floor
and sponge it with weak glue water and
let it dry; then if it needs pressing do
SO on the wrong side.

WASHINGTON, Dec. BIN the pres
ent house of representatives are 10e Re
publicans who have served in some pre-
Fious congress, rs Democrats and Pop
ulists, but the extraordinary changes OF
the last five years have thrown them
into very peculiar and slightly embar-
RAISING relations as to leadership, which,
old members say, are without precedent.
AS the mortality Of a very active cam.
paign leads to many and rapid promo
lions, as corporals of 1862 were captains
in 1864, so the Democratic tidal waves
of 1890 and 1892 left so few Republic
ans on committees that very new men
were showed we'll up to the front, and
the still more sweeping Republican
wave of 1894 made these men leaders
and brought to the front some tolerably
new Democratic holdovers. In group
of veteran observers recently the COM
mon practice of guessing as to who
would be the leaders was going on, and
it was agreed that each man should
write down the names of six ON each
side who, in his Judgment, would taxa
the lead. In all the lists Judge Crisp
stood first on the Democratic side, and
after Speaker Reed, of course, Messrs.
Dingley and Cannon tied on the Repub-
lican side. By plurality of votes the
Republican leaders thus selected were
Dingley, Cannon, Dalzell, Hit, Payne
and Grosvenor, but almost equal to the
last three were BoutelIe, Henderson,
Walker, johnson of Indiana and some
others.
Anxious For Trouble.
On the Democratic side the vote was
far more scattering, but the first six
were Crisp, McMillin, Catchings, Nc
Creary, Richardson of Tennessee and
Turner of Georgia Twas surprised that
Mr.. Bailey received SO small vote, but
observers have not yet got over the habit
of regarding him as boy, and there is
q strong suspicion current that he has
bomb under his coat which he designs
to fling into the ''cuckoos" at the very
first opportunity. Now the Democrats
are much more free spoken about the
president than they were a year ago,
and many of them are vindictive, but
Mr.. Cleveland still has friends enough
to suppress Mr.. Bailey if he gets OBJ
streperous. Mr.. Patterson of Memphis
is necessarily something of leader be-
cause of his position as a southern Dem

ALTHOUGH John Wanamaker in some
way was able to pose as the mediator in
Sue Philadelphia trolley car strike, in the
account of the negotiations for a settle
ment, found in the local papers, his name
does not appear. In connection with the
strike has arisen the same question that
was made prominent in the Brooklyn
strike-the fact that, although the char
ter of the company required of it contin-
uous and uninterrupted service of the
public, it did not serve the public during
n period of more than a week, and there
seemed to be no power which could be
used TO make it render such service.

Story that She is Afflicted With Brain
Trouble Untrue.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-There has been
a revival of the wicked and groundless
stories to the effect that Ruth Cleveland
the presidents oldest child, is afflicted
with brain trouble. During the last three
weeks several newspapers have stated
that this little girl was in a sanitarium
at Kirksville, Mo-, under treatment from
DR.. Still, fa famous bone doctor" 9th
ers have said that the child was at
Evanston, ILL.,, in a sanitarium, or was
about to be sent there.
These statements have been circulated
chiefly in the west. OF course they are
false. Anyone might be convinced any
afternoon by seeing Ruth and her sister
Esther bundled into a carriage at the
White house door by their nurse to he
taken for ride. The presidents chill

Colorado,s Gold Output.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 2.-For the first
time in the history of the State the
gold output for the year just closed
exceeded in value that of silver. The
most careful computation of the min
eral output for the year from the sta
tistics attained shows the following:
Gold, SIT, $40, 495; silver, Sl4, $50, o49;
lead, So, 955, ia; copper, 1877, 492; total,
$35, 432, $50. For 1891 the output was:
Gold, S11.e35. SOC; silver, S14, I'll, $50;
S29, 9G3, 290. The increase in the gold
production is almost wholly from the
Cripple Creek district.

Foundation For Candies.

The foundation for variety Of can
dies is made as follows: To cup
fuls of sugar add = cupfuls of water.
Boil until drops will seem firm in cold
water, then add one-half teaspoonful Of
cream tartar. Pour into bowl, which
set in cold water, and stir with a spoon
until cold enough to bear the hand.
Then knead on a shallow platter until
smooth. If it gets too hard, few drops
Of warm water may be added.
To make the varieties, into part of
this work finely cut almonds, into an
other cocoanut, mold, and when per-
fectly cold cut into squares. To make
walnut candy, have the nuts ready, and
when the cream is ready to knead take
small portion and press between the
two halves of a nut, roll in powdered
sugar and set on platter to dry. Dates
and figs can be used in exactly the same
way.

PINGREE NOT SATISFIED.

Seven Tickets For Quarter But
the Mayor Wants Eight.

DETROIT, Jan. 2-Tom l. Johnson has
offered through the common council to
accept an ordinance giving seven tickets
for 20 cents, good day and night, with
transfers on straight scent fare. The
ordinance was adopted by vote of 20 to
0. Although this is the most generous
offer ever made by the Citizens Street
Car company, and two years ago would
have been quickly taken by the city,
Mayor Pingree demands eight tickets
for quarter, with transfers. 1t is be-
lieved he will veto the ordinance and
that the friends of the measure cannot
muster votes enough to pass it over his
veto.
