FASHION NOTES.
Neat and Stylish Garments for the Conn
 iug Season.

Neat and Stylish Garments for the Com.
 iug Season.
 A stylish costume is made of dark blue Irish poplin. The skirt is five gored the half-ftting sleeveless waist is of fancy silk, and there is an Eton jacket of the poplin. The sleeves are leg-o'-mutton, with faring cuffs, above which are bands of dark blue velvet A rather novel idea is shown in the revers, of which there are two sets. The lower ones are made of dark-blue velvet, and are corded with yellow satin, and are embroidered with vine of black silk. The round collar is of blue velvet, and above this are rolled over points of the yellow satin with the black embroidery The effect is pretty, although rather striking.
 A cape suitable for cool days or nD evening walk is made of black satin. It is cut in sections, and left open in very slender V-shaped divisions. These are filled in with embroidery or lace, and the satin is edged with galloon GOV cred with spangles. There is high faring collar, very large bow at the back of the neck, and at the front d small bow with very long ribbon ends. The cape is lined with ta ffeta, and there is frill of lace around the lower edge.
 A costume for young lady is made with a skirt of dark-blue silk. The skirt is plain and made with five gores. The waist is of blue and rose-colored changeable taffcta. A very wide collar with square tags reaching out over the sleeves is of antique lace over rose-col- ored silk. Long points of the lace ex- tend down the front of the waist, and are tucked under the rose-colored silk belt. A rose collar with bows at the sides finishes the neck.
 A much-admired costume is made of blue taffeta silk, embroidery and bro- cade in two shades of heiiotrope, The five-gored skirt and upper revers are of the blue, the Eton jacket and sleeves are of the brocade. The full vest front. the under-revers and the cuffs are of em- broidery. The collar. belt and sleeve bands are of blue and gold galloon.
 Anew sleeve is in lego mutton shape. but is gathered very full from wrist to elbow This gives the effect of a pu f to the lower portion of the sleeve.-N. |. Ledger.

SCIENCE AND. INDUSTRY.

--Berlln, having determined to be- come a seaport like Paris and Manches- ter, is now debating whether it's outlet shall be Stettin and the Oder, which means the deepening of the Oder-Spree canal, or Hamburg and the Elbe.
 -Fnglands nickel trade is passing through severe crisis, owing to the diminished consumption of the metal in German coinage and the competition of the French Nickel company, which has reduced the price from four dollars pound to 27 cents.
 Russia is Q gold-producing country, so it is not remarkable that the circulat- ing medium comprises $422, 100000 of gold, to only s41,000,oo of silver. The deficiency in subsidiary money is made up by an enormous mass of outstanding paper roubles, the total amounting in OUT money to $550 100000.
 The range of the human voice is quite astounding, there being about Eine perfect tones, but 17,592, ,lse, ,o44,- 515 different sounds; thus IA direct muscles, alone or together, produce 16,- 3s3; 30 indirect muscles ditto, IFS, TAI, : S23, and all in cooperation produce the number we have named; and these in- dependently of different degrees of in- tensity.
 A Hamburg young man has just had his sanity proved by the Roentgen rays. He declared ten years ago that he had a bullet in his head which he had fired into it i'll trying to commit suicide. He complained of the pain and, as he attacked his keepers and the doctors could find no trace of a wound, was locked up as a dangerous lunatic. The RoeGtgen rays have now shown the exact place of the bullet.
 Japanese coal is to be placed upon the California market in competition with the standard grades that have been used there for years. Three large steamers are loading coal at Kobe for San Francisco, and two more steamers are under charter to carry similar car goes for the same destination within the next 30 days. The bulk of the coal consumed in California now comes from Puget Sound and British Colum- bia mines, while big share is supplied by Australia.
 The production of coal in India is steadily increasing. In 1885 there were mined 1,295,0oO tons, while last year the figures were increased to 3,167 ,000 tons. Tine Bengal collieries are responsible for about 2,500,000 of the total. Much attention has also been paid of late years to the discovery of mineral oil wells, but the success attained has not been very encouraging so far, though some 36,00o gallons of oil were obtained from the Digboi field in 1895. The bor- ing at Sukkur has failed to reach an oil bed, though it has been carried to a depth of 1,500 feet, and is to be sunk 200 feet further before being abandoned.

A MISTAKE.

 A tadpcIe sat on cool. gray stone, And sadly thought of his life; "Alas must 1 live all alone!' said he, ''Or shall espouse me a wife?" A wise old frog on the brink of the stream Leaned over and said, with sigh: "Oh, wait till you're elder. my dear young
 friend,
 You'n have better taste by and by! "Girls change. you know, and the polly
 wog slim,
 That takes your fancy to-day. May not be the polly at all you'd choose, When the summer has passed awayl" But the tadpole rash thought he better
 knew,
 And married a pollywog fair: And before the summer was over he sat On the brink of that stream in despair. For, would you believe It? His fair. young
 bride
 Proved to be but a stupid frog, With never a trace of beauty and grace Of young Miss Pollywog. And although the tadpole himself had
 grown
 Stout and stupid, tool He only saw the faults of his wife. As others sometimes do. To all young tadpoles. my moral Is this: Before you settle in life, Be sure you know, without any doubt. What you want in the way of wife

some Beresford Stories.

A laborer once wrote to Lord Charles Beresford saying that his wife had just had twins-a boy and q giri--aiid he wanted to call one Lord Charles Beres- ford Brown" and the other "Princess of Wales Brown" Lord Charles gave his permission, and obtained that of the princess. Four months later the man wrote again: "I am happy to inform you that Lord Charles Beresford Brown is we'll and strong. but that Princess of Wales Brown died this morning." Lord Charles is a man of few words, and those very much to the point. Speaking in the house of com mons one day, in reference to the Arab slave leaders, he said, with great em- plasis: "Mr. Speaker, we ought to catch these men. give 'em fair trial, and then hang 'em." Unconventional Lord Charles has always been. Receiv- ing an invitation to dinner at Mari borough house one evening. he replied by wire: Sorry can't come. Lie fol. lows by post" Strand Magazine

When the stomach dishonors the drafts made upon it by the rest of the system, it is necessarily because it's fund of strength is very low. Toned with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, it soon begins to pay out vigor in the shape of pure, rich blood, containing the elements of muscle, bone and brain. As sequence of the new vigor afforded the stomach, the bowels perform their functions regularly, and the liver works like clock work. Malaria has no effect upon system thus reinforced.

pistol with her. When the door was
thrown open she saw a negro trying to
force open trunk belonging to her hus-
band. The villain stared viciously at the
lady. She throwed the gun on him and
he turned and leaped out an open win
dow Through which he had entered
Three shots were fired at him. but the
lady was badly frightened and missed
her mark.
The next day, Thursday evening, while
Mrs. Porter was sitting alone in her bed
room the same negro got in the house
unobserved and, creeping up behind her,
struck her a terrible blow In the face.
He then ran from the house and made
his escape
The alarm was given and men are
securing the country for the negro. He

There's Lots of Tafy in the Letter.
Concluding Paragraphs.

Washington, Sept Ex-senator Marion
Butler, chairman of the populst nation
al committee, tonight mailed his letter
of notification to Hon. Thomas e. Wat
son. the nominee for vice president. 1t
concludes as follows:
IF the democratic party had been true
to the people and its own platform in its
selection of a candidate for vice presi-
dent we would not now have the honor
of addressing you, one of the worthiest
and most beloved sons of the peoples
party, in this official capacity, for in
that event the peoples party would
have nominated the whole democratic
ticket by even a larger majority than it
nominated Mr.. Bryan. But such was
not the case. 1t seems that the party
was not able at one effort to purge it.
self of it's modern heresies, cast off it's
plutocratic leaders and at the same time
nominate Mr.. Bryan, giving him a run
ing mate who had earned in the arena of
acton. contendng against the foes of the
republic the affection, confidence and
trust of the masses of our people as had
Mr.. Bryan himself. Had 1t nominated

known to all America as a chieftain and

ducers of the land-one who by the use

past not obscured in a silence suggest
i've of either ignorance or Indifference to
the struggle of the people with the mon
ey power, the occasion of this commune
cation to your worthy self would not
have occurred.
THE peoples party, true to it's prin-
ciples and true to its teachings, nomi-
mated for the high office of vice president
man worthy to have headed the ticket
man who represents what Mr. Bryan
represents and therefore presents to the
people today in the persons of Bryan and
Watson the best silver ticket in the field
"a ticket more representative of Amer
lean interests than any other, a ticket
that stands for just the opposite to that
for which the republican ticket stands.
IF the people win this fight for finan-
cial reform 1T must be accomplished by
the cooperation of the silver forces of
all political parties. To secure such CO.
operation of the different parties it is
necessary to have a cooperative ticket
Therefore Bryan and Watson Is not only
the best silver ticket, but 1t is also the
true cooperative ticket.
I'VE have the honor, representing the
second national convention of the peo-
pies party, to formally notify you of
your nomination for vice president of the
United States and hope that you will ac-
cept the high trust and carry our banner
of equal rights and special privileges to
none to violation against the combined
minions of special privileges, aggregated
capital and organized greed
