,Jauuty Jacket

Jackets cut rather short and of the same
length all around are made with very baggy,
loose fronts, there being no shaping to the
figure apparent from the front, the line
seeming to be a straight one from under the
arms. As matter OF fact, the entire front
Is set on like box piait, and from the back
Is seen.
Sleeves are all of the melon order
that is, they hang loose and are SO full that
they groove themselves into oblong folds
that remind one some what of the long can
taloupes, while the whole sleeve is in out
line like very big and long watermelon.

Cooking for Charity.

Sales of cooked food have this winter
been found profitable for providing money
for charitable enterprises. There seems to
be notion that food costs nothing, at
least many persons who would be unwilling
to contribute dollar or even fifty cents
will often cheerfully send cake, u baked
chicken or salad to such a sale. 1t has
been found that Friday and Saturday Y
afternoons are the best days for these
sales. Cakes are sold in halves or even
quarters. Dainties for Sunday night tea
lind ready sale. In some places the re-
ceipt for some novel aud delicious dish
Is sold with the food.

Church Robbery.

st. Louis, Sept. "A robbery
which caused considerable annoy
ance to the ladies of Union Con.
gregational church was committed
in the church building, at 1882
North Tenth street, last week. The
things taken were not valued at
more than $50, but they represent
ed several weeks of work by the
Ladies' Aid society. In the list
were two quilts which had been
pieced and made this summer for
the tornado sufferers, and which
were to be given away soon. The
congregation is poor, and ii is in
part supported by the general Con-
gregational church as a mission,
but the ladies wished to contrib.
ute something to the sufferers, and
80 made the quilts. Two other
quilts were stolen which they in
tended to sell, and large supply
of new aprons. The table cloths
used at communion service were
taken, but the church silver was
in another place, and escaped the
thieves. 1t is supposed that they
entered through a back window.
They have not been captured.

A NEW MOTOR.
Ammonia Made to Draw Street Cars in
Successful Manner.

Successful Manner.
New Orleans, Sept. 1.-The new
ammonia motor car, the property
of the Standard Fireless Engine
company, Of this city, has been
given another trial. The results
of the tests are the most satisfac-
tory OF any heretofore obtained.
The ammonia car worked to per-
lection, and those interested In, it's
success and others who were in
vited to attend the trial were jubi-
liant after it was concluded, and
did not hesitate to pronounce 1t
the coming motor power OF the
world.
Quite q number expected that
the car would bound forward with
a sudden jerk just as soon as the
ammonia started the piston rods to
working, but such did not occur.
When started the car glided
smoothly and easily, just like a
large boat leaving its moorings.
It is said by those familiar with
ammonia as a motor power, that
the car could on a level, good track,
run at q rate Of forty miles an
hour.

JUDGE BURKE BOLTS.
Leading Cleveland Democrats Declaration
For Mckinley.

For Mckinley,
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. fudge
Stevenson Burke, OF Cleveland,
president OF the Toledo & Ohio
Central railroad, and a leading
Democrat, in letter to Col. w. A.
Taylor, the leader OF the silver
wing of the party, repudiates
Bryan and the Chicago platform,
and declares in strong language
that he will vote for Mckinley.
After discussing the money ques-
tion in an exhaustive manner,
Judge Burke says.
Gin my Judgment the free COIN
age OF silver is dangerous heresy,
and besides, l have no confidence
in the financial doctor that pres
cribes it. The evils suffered by
the commonwealth and proposed
to be cured by free silver were pro-
duced by the Democratic and
Populist parties. The real parent
of all evils suffered by our people
is the present tariff, the joint work
of Democrats and Populists. By 1t
hundreds of thousands of wage
earners have been thrown out of
employment; shops, mills, fur
naces and factories have been
closed; the wages Of labor have
been reduced the public debt has
been increased several hundred
millions; business has been stag
mated, and the government, like a
beggar, has been compelled to 60
from place to place to borrow
money to keep itself afloat."
81 agree with the Republican
candidate for president that ID
would be much better to open the
mills, the furnaces. the factories
to free American labor than to
open the minis to the free coinage
of silver. In my judgment, there
would be the same sense in adopt.
ing financial nostrums from the
party responsible for all our evils
there would be for a sick man
made sick by the treatment OF an
incompetent qusck to accept with
delight, after four years Of sickness
and suffering, a new nostrum, war
ranted to cure, from the same
quack."
Judge Burke denies response
bility for an alleged coercive cir
cular sent to the employees OF the
road, but says:
81 consider it the duty OF all en-
ployers to protect their people, as
far as possible, from incompetent
financial and political quacks.
Still, If there are any OF the en-
ployes of the Toledo q Ohio Gen.
trail who wish still to take Demo-
cratic and Populistic nostrums,
they are at liberty to do so. They
are free men, and entitled to all
the rights of free men,"
