A New SansOn.

A party of friends were sitting at
tavern, full of fun and mischief,
when all at once an acquaintance of
theirs, named Sampson, appeared on
the scene.
"Ha" exclaimed one of them,
now we can dare the police and the
bum bailiffs to do their worst. With
Sampson to help us we have moth
ing to fear from such Philistines. !"
Quite So" Sampson replied, if

Important Correction.

Under the terror in France people
learned to be excessively cautious
in all they said and still more eau
tious in what they wrote.
An old letter is said to be in exist
ence of the revolutionary period, in
which the author had at first writ
ten to friend, II write under the
reign of great emotion. :"
Then, apparently rejecting that it
was dangerous to speak of "reigns"
at such an epoch, he amended the
sentence thus:
Il write under the republic of a

TIE TOILET TABLE.
How to Build and Appoint Dainty Bed
room Furnishing.

AAO" ~ A1uhu @u0 <1ppOlub q OaI0By EBEeA-
room Furnishing.
Every "lady III the land" is fond
OF dainty and artistic equipments,
rot only for her personal and home
adornment, but in the little every
day appointments Of her dressing
table as well, and that this should be
Is but the evidence of refined and
cultivated nature.
What could be prettier in dainti-
ly decorated chamber than the rich
ly draped toilet table, with it's gilt
ter and sparkle of silver and crystal
appointments--its air of refinement
and luxury SO dear to the heart of
every true woman?
That daintiness and refinement
may be expressed in the simple ev-
eryday appointments Of a modest
home is unquestionably true A
little time and judgment spent in se-
Letting the necessary fittings of the
toilet table of the palmer sort will
reward the buyer to the fullest ex-
tent, as in these grades there are
great variety and wide range of
price.
To be sure, the glass need not be
cut crystal nor the finish solid sill
yer, but pressed glass comes in great
variety of pretty and useful forms,
and aluminium has the brilliancy of
silver and needs but little care to be
kept bright and attractive, As q
basis for the toilet table on which to
display these dainty appointments
an average sized kitchen table may
be used. The unvarnished sort will
cost but $t.25.
We will simply offer few sug-
gestions as basis on which to work.
Screw securely to the back of the
table pine board about 4 inches
wide and 2 feet or 2 feet inches
high. At the top of this fasten a
orosspiecea foot long and about IL
inches wide; on this tack the mus
lin in plaits, perfestly fat and
spreading out wider at the bottom,
to each extreme end of the table
back, extending down in fan shape.
This will give q background to add
other drapery and founces at dis
cretion. In the center of this at
convenient height hang full sized
mirror, the frame of which may be
covered with plush of dainty color.
OF course the body of the table
should be covered with flounced lace
to the floor and the table top itself
covered with a plush mat of the
same dainty color as the frame.
This should exactly cover the top
and DO edged with neat colored
cord binding, with tassels to match
at the corners, or full lace fiounce
finished at the corners with bright
ribbons. Ribbons of the same color
should hold in place the overdra-
perry of the upper part, as the taste
of the fair owner shall dictate.
These simple suggestions and a
fair amount of good taste and skill
in arranging should offer opportuni-
ty for very pleasing results, and
when all is artistically completed
the dainty appointments of the toilet
artistically and neatly arranged in
their places my lady" has some
thing that has cost her but COM
paratively small amount of money,
and her reward for the time and in
genuity expended will be derived
from the satisfaction of possession.

sTREETCAR ECC4NTR1CIT1Es.

Combination of Transfer Perpiexities
for the Solution of the Potreroites.
One of the latest phases of the Market
street railway eccentricities is TIE varia-
ton in streetcar accommodation between
the City proper and the Potrero.
The last phase of perplexity is that at
certain hours of the day a red panel is
hung on the front of the Kentucky-street
electric cars which reads: This car only
to Market street" Further information
is hidden under red-tape rules, and all that
remains for the passenger who is unac-
quainted with the spasmodic rules issued
from day to day is to remain on the car
until it stops at Third and Market streets
and ask for a transfer to the Kearny-
street line, cross Market street by lodging
between passing vehicles and cable-cars
until he gets on to Kearny street and then
waiting ten or fifteen minutes until q
northbound car comes along, board it and
get to his destination.
This new rule is puZzling, bungling and
complicated, and gives the passengers
who travel on this line no end of annoy
ance,

ANARCHISTS SEND FUNDS
The Local Club Wants to Bring Out
Louise Michel and Pietro
Gori


Money is being raised by the anarchists
all over the United States to bring out
Louise Michel and Pietro Gori in order
at they may make a lecturing tour to
disseminate the doctrines of anarchy.
Both these famous anarchists are at
present in London. Gori went to the
British capital to take part in the Social
lstlc Congress which was held month
and half ago, but he was not permitted
TO speak, as anarchists were vigorously
excluded from the platform.
Find ug his plans frustrated in London
he went to Paris to disseminate his doc
trines, but soon crossed the channel back
to England. His anarchist friends here
say that Gori would be ready enough to
strike blow at the powers that be if the
brethren considered 1t necessary, but at
the same time they incline to the belief
that he is not connected with the alleged
anarchist plots in England and France to
blow up the Gar.
The local anarchist club, with head
quarters at the southwest corner of Union
and Powell streets, has sent an Install
ment of $50 toward the general fund for
bringing out Gori and Louise Michel, and
intends soon TO send more. The clubs all
over the country are contributing accord
ing to their mem bership and as this is one
OF the weakest anarchist centers in the
United States. the general fund has
already reached considerable proportions.
LIE QUESTION: Sociale, the organ of the
| anarchists OF New Jersey, states that Gori
and Louise Michel will sail this month
for the United States. Their coming
means a determined effort to make more
converts to the creed of anarchy.

The Fire Department. responding TO the
alarm from box 1877 was soon on the
ground, but the old shells of buildings
burned like finder.
The engines, however, kept the flames
within the block, and then they mad it
pretty much their own way. Wal
CONS family was sleeping back of the
saloon and his little children barely eS-
capped. so swift was the fire going through
the old house.
The contents of all the places were
a total loss, with a total dam
age of about $4,000. Tode's stock
of liquors will cover about half of the
general loss and is we'll insured. Wal
CONS loss is about $1,000, with small in
suraDce.
Mrs. Perry's and landlords losses OF
about $500 each are not covered by insur-
ance. The latter recently moved into the
place. The burned buildings belong to
the Shields estate.
As the Commercial Fire Dispatch wagon
was rushing down Harrison street il
broke down at the corner of Seventh and

any satisfaction, for it will undoubted-

President Cleveland's Chauyinism dur
ing the last six months has shaken to
its root the confidence which was for

eighth of our entire population, far ex-

any other profession, numbering twice
those employed in manufactures, and
seven times greater than those en-
ployed in conducting trade and trans
portation. Therefore, they constitute
the largest body engaged in any single

This is from the Yorkshire, England,
correspondent of the Wool and Cotton
Reporter. Trade in Bradford has not
been satisfactory for several months
owing to the decline in the purchasing
power of the American people, who,
earning little or no money, are unable
to buy the cheap British shoddy goods

selected by British royalty will SAVIOR

of Americans under the Democratic gift
of Free-Trade in raw material, compels
