With the rage for old fashioned
silks the reticule has returned to
popular favor. The dull, obscure
flower designs ON the black gros
grain backgrounds are so admirably
adapted to the making of bags that
few women can resist making them.
Opera glass bag. of Pompadour and
Dresden silk, lined with suede, are
charming. Long party bags in
the mere delicate shades are also
popular.
The reticule proper, the old
fashioned bag in which good house
wives carry their keys, has also re-
turned to a place in public esteem.
1t is made of silk, dark in shade,
fastened to the belt by long ribbon
ends, and it is capacious enough to
hold handkerchiefs, letters, keys
and anything else the housewife
may accumulate in the course OF
her peregrinations.

The Views of George Gould.

Mr.. George Gould's views on gov
ernmental control of railroads and
telegraphs would not be difficult
to surmise in view of the fact that
he is the holder of a controlling in
terest in the elevated roads in New
York city, of the Western Union
Telegraph system, and of several
big railroad systems. A committee
that is investigating into the subject
of rapid transit in this city has,
however, thought it worth while to
get an expression from him on the
subject, and here is what he said:
don't think that municipal ownership of rail
waysl is Il proper thing for Government to take
up. That ought to be left to private capital. tits
n move toward socialism, and think it would
result, if put in practice, very disastroHsly. 4
Government railway is never so carefully run from
a financial point of view, public point for that
matter, private corporation. 1t has been
tried in Europe, and doesn't pay. The taxpayers
pay. 1t is the same with telegnphs. The postal
telegraph in England has meyer paid. am very
much opposed to Government going into any bus
mess enterprises. They should be left to private
capital to develop. aud whatever risks there are
in the business, private individuals have to meet
it and not the Government. We tried, iii q way,
Government ownership on the Pacific railroads;
but the Government instead of owning the rail
roads. loaned them its credit. 1t turned out dis
astrously not only for The Goyernmedt but for the
railroads as we'll"
The point of view is everything.
Apparently, Mr.. Gould's sole test
of the success of an enterprise is
whether it pays dividends. The
postal. telegraph system of England
pays no dividends, perhaps, but it
sends messages for less than ONE
half the price in this country. The
Pacific railroads pay no dividends,
and do not even pay interest on the
Governments mortgage; but what
man with broad view Of the
nations needs, especially in the
sixties, with an empire on the At
lantic coast and another on the pa
cific, and no means Of direct COM
municatiOn between them, will say
that the Government subsidy to
build the roads, shockiagiy as its
generosity has been abused, WAS q
"a mistake, unless the mistake lay
in the fact that the Government did
not itself build and owH the roads!
Mr.. Gould can prove by the divi-
dend test that 0Hr post office system
is mistake, that our public school
system is mistake, that the Gov
eminent itself is a huge mistake,
for it costs mint of money and
never pays II dividend. The ques-
ton that is of vital importance in
such case is not whether an enter
prise pays "the Government" but
whether it Pays The public. The
Brooklyn Bridge does pot pay, look

SATURDAY EVENING, AUG. 1, 1896.

THE Union veterans throughout the
country have resolved to support Mr..
Mckinley. One of them, Brigadier
General II. H. Wells, formerly resi-
dent in this city, and military governor
of Virginia, says: eve veterans were
all together for country, for honor, for
religion and morals, without regard to
politics, in 1861, as we are now. We
then plighted our faith to God, country
and humanity; and we all alike wanted
then, and want now, the best religion,
the best country, and the best dollar"
Whenever an old Ale1andrian hears of
General Wells, he can't help thinking Of
the coats of armor found buried in the
cellar of the house the General occu-
pied in this city, after he had gone back
to his own country. But this has moth
ing to do with the Union veterans who
have resolved to vote against MIR. Bryan;
but who, strange as it may appear
to some people who don't understand
human nature, will be assisted in their
effort to accomplish that object by
some-precious few to be SURGEON
federate veterans.

HORRIBLE TRAFFIC IN CHILDREN.
The people in New York are trying
to break up the terrible traffic in young
girls which has been discovered recent
ly on the East Side of town and which
has been long hourishing there.

running young girls, were held in bal

4 TOWNSVILLE PURcHAsE.-Tht

A TOWNSVILLE PURCHAsE.-The
farming land around Townsville and
Langley is conceded by those in a posi-
ton to know, as one of the best sec
tons of the State. The land is fertile,
we'll watered and lays we'll. One of
the finest farms in the State is that be-
longing to T. J. Hodgen, the wealthy
Philadelphia broker. He has expend-
ed $4,000 iii improving his property
and in making it an ideal Virginia
farm. Now we learn that Mr.. Chas.
Heald, who is associated with MIR. Hold
gen. has purchased the adjoining prop
erty known as the Peacock farm for
IS, 500. To keep pace with his neigbbor,
he will greatly improve the place ard
build fine residence and several farm
buildings. His neighbor, Mr.. Laugh.
lin, who is an old settler there, is one of
the many progressive farmers in that
section. He is an ardent believer of
good roads and has contributed literal
ly to recent improvements that have
been made on the road between Lang

for long time, and boiling is nothing
new to him.

MANY OF Mr.. Carlisle's intimates
have for some time feared that his rea-
soning powers are not as vigorous as
formerly, and his public letter, to the
effect that under a free silver coinage
bill the government will have no con-
Germ with silver dollars after coming
them affords good ground for that fear.
People more like Plato, who reasoned
we'll, think the government will have q
great deal to do with then, as it will pay
its debts with them and receive them in
payment of its dues. And besides they,
will be legal tender in payment Of all
private debts.
