4 BIC AND SIGNIFICANT STRAIT.

4 BIC AND SIGNIFICiNT STRf W.
 General H. V. Boynton, the veteran of the Washington newspaper corps, knows how to find facts when he goes after them, and he has been out West after some facts which might Illustrate the political situation, He has attend ed half dozen gatherings of old sol- diers, beginning with the reunion of his own regiment. This was recruited in Butler county, Ohio--a famous demo- cratic stronghold. In three days talk with his comrades he didn't find man who said he was going to vote Tor Bryan, though he found a few avowed silver men. Next he went to the re- union of the so-called Turner regi- ment of Cincinnati, composed eXelu- sively of men of German blood and speech. There wasn't Bryan man there "The organization" says Gen. eral Boynton, recently sent com munication to Major Mckinley, certi- fled by the seal of the association, con- tainlng 0 declaration that every mem Der of the association intends to sup port him" Then he went to Rockford, Illinois, where four associations of vet erans were holding reunions the same week. There were about a thousand old soldiers in the town. 'No Bryan talk whatever was heard among them, ' he reports 'and so far as those with whom I talked were concerned (and they came from all the surrounding cities) their testimony was universally that the soldiers in their localities were solid for Mckinley" At the reunion of the Society of the Army of the Cum berland he talked with distinguished officers from Ohio Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Ne braska. Every one of them" he re- ports. spoke in most positive terms of the unanimity of the soldier element in support of Mckinley"
 One of the veterans with whom he talked at Chicago, a German American, is a lawyer of high standing, unselfish- ly interested in politics, with large circle of acquaintance and unexcelled opportunities for observing the drift of German American sentiment His statement, says General Boynton, was that the German vote of the en- tire Northwest would be practically solid for the republican candidates; there might be a few who would sup port MT Bryan; so far as his own ob- servation went, there were none. Af- terward he talked with German -Ameri- can veterans at Milwaukee, and receiv- ed from them like cheering assur- ances.
 This is a straw of large size and sig nificance. It can be safely put against Populist brag and buster.

FASHION NOTES.
Linking Skirts to Bodices.


 It will not do to say that black skirts will not be worn with fancy bodices, but nevertheless 1t is not wise to spend money getting a black skirt a-purpose, though they are suke to be so inexpen- sive because of the trend of fashion away from them that you will need to use your Judgment Remember, though, that for dressy occasions there are pret.. tier things than all-black silk or satin and that silk, satin or even poplin black skirt will not be of bit of use unless you are rather matronly per- son--for any other wear. If you have a black skirt-and most of us have-then with good conscience prepare to get plenty Of wear out of 1t with special bodices, only remember that you must in some way manage to connect the bodice and skirt. That is, the belt, girdle or sash of the bodice must extend down ard become part of the effect of the skirt, or the skirt must be lined or faced with a color that harmonizes or matches it to the bodice used; or on the other hand, the black of the skirt

 T have seen great many things in the United State that have pleased me, and full of admiration for the country" said MT William Whally, a young Lon doner, making his first tour of the States, to a Post man at the Arlington.
 'I have seen a great many things in the United States that have pleased me and am full of admiration for the ooun- try, said MT. William Whally, a young Londoner, making his first tour of the States, to a Post man at the Arlington.
 But of all the things that have struck me as most gratifying to the eye, nothing quite comes up to the way in which the women of New York dress. In style, elegance, and artistic taste of their costumes they are incomparably ahead of English women and in fact of the sex elsewhere. Mind you, in saying this do not oomeede that the fair New Workers are themselves more beautiful to look at than their sisters in Great Britain, Tn truth, my opionion is that for good looks the latte are entitled to precedence, and if they only knew how to have their clothes made to fit, and to acquire the style of Fifth avenue and Broadway. they would lead the whole fomiming world.

must be part of the effect of the bodice. As for instance, black satin or moire skirt worn with a white brocade bodice, with coat backs and a waistcoat of butter yellow crepe, is in perfect taste if the edges of the coat be picked out with black, if pair of bows is at the waist line in the back and a touch of black shows at neck and wrists.
 In the dress pictured here there was no need of trickily making bodice and skirt akin, for they were of the same material-mede colored woollen suiting and though the skirt was plain the bod ice was very ornate. It hooked in the center the opening being concealed by the full folds of the material, and had a yoke covered with embroidered and tucked batiste that was alike back and front, and that was bordered with a draped bertha of the suiting. The lat ter was enriched with applique guipure and finished with a gathered ruffie of the dress goods. The moderately puff ed sleeves with ruffies, and the trim ming on the stock collar corresponded to it. Collar and belt were gobelin blue taffeta. FLORETTE.

It pays to be piano player with
 enough skill and hair. MT. Hugo Cor
 litz, manager of Paderewsh during his
 recent tours, contributes to the Strand
 Musical Magazine an interview In
 which he says that during his three tours in America Paderewsli gave 266
 concerts, which brought in over half
 million dollars. The greatest sum re-
 ceived for one performance was S,SSO
 at Chicago. The highest sum received
 in England was 21,000 about $5,500
 which broke the record at St. James
 Hall, On the Continent his success was as conspicuous, out the enormous diff ference in the prices paid is shown by
 the fact that his concert at Leipsic for
 the Liszt memorial fund brought in
 what was considered fabulous sum-
 but the sum was only 1000 marks, about s1,7Oo,
 It is interesting to know that in front of an advancing locomotive there is an
 actual wave in the rail, whose rise may be measured by instruments. This was
 demonstrated in experiments on the Burlington lines to test the rigidity of railroad tracks. It was found that as rule the rail at any one point reached its highest elevation when the engine approached within eight or nine feet of the point, and that the wave was over as soon as the engine was seven or eight feet past the point. Some idea of the delicacy of the measurements can be formed from the fact that the great est wave measured was considerably less than four thousandths of an inch high. It was shown also that under some conditions it was possible to de-, tect a depression of the whole roadbed under locomotive as far as ninety one inches from the rail on which the engine rested, a sinking so great and covering such a wide area that even the bench or reference points used in the levelling failed to serve as true bases for measurement, and recourse had to be made to other means of de- termining the defections.

A large force of clerks in the Massa- chusetts Secretary of States office has been at work for three years on card catalogue which, when completed, will far surpass in size anything of the kind ever made before. It is to ,jreserve in easily and quickly accessible form the returns of births, marriages and deaths made by city, town and village clerks, and will enable lawyers and others in- terested to ascertain the exact date of those events in the career of every per- son in the State. The catalogue in- cludes each person thus reported since 184o, and, though not yet quite up to date already weighs over nine tons.

MT. Bryan has the valuable support in his canvass of ex-Bandit Frank James of Missouri. Mir James remarks for publication. This country has been governed too long by Wall street. They
 are going too far with the squeezing process, and the masses are not going to stand it much longer Money is a power, and the man with it can do a lot of things that would get a poor beggar in trouble. These tariff barons and trust kings have things their own way. They can rob right and left with out taking a chance of getting the worst of it. Even in my old profession we never had such a good thing. Sill

LII. D., of Dartmouth college Paines
celery compound. 1t has lifted thou
sands from beds of sickness. 1t does
what nothing else ever did for the sleep
less, the dyspeptic, and TIE Respondent
it cures them once and for all.
Here is a testimony from Mr.. Z. A.
Miller Of Columbus, O., accompanying
the photograph OF his family.
For two years past I have been a
constant sufferer with severe nervous
headaches Outlines being compelled to
go to bed, when my business necessi-
tated my personal attention. Last
week my physician recommended
Paines celery compound. I have taken
| now four bottles, and have not suffered
with headache since. This government,
| in my mind, should pay the dlscoverer
of Paine's celery compound a sum of
| money sufficient to keep him and his
relatives in luxury during their natural
| life"
| Mr.. Miller is the son Of DR. J. D. Mil
| Ter. His wife is the granddaughter of
| the late Gov. Lucas of Ohio. Mr.. Mil
| ler's praise Of Paine's celery compound
| is equalled by that of thousands of
others who owe their health and
strength to this greatest of all remedies.
