is room for objection. The other night
at Suffern, New York, a performance
was given under the auspices" of the
Epworth league to raise money to meet
the deficit in the minister's salary.
Those who got up the performance
wanted to do something that would be
unique and at the same time produce
tive Of much cash. They reasoned that
human nature is human nature, and
that male human nature can be espe
cially relied on to answer an appeal
shrewdly and forcibly made to it. So
they decided to tempt the young men
with view of the feet of some Of the
young women who owned feet worth
viewing. The superintendent of the
Sunday school presided over the re-
cherche affair. A curtain was hung at
were ranged a number of girls who
were to stick their feet out from
under the curtain, which would be
raised just a trifle, and the young men
were to bid for the feet when they were
stuck out The highest bidder was to
have the honor of taking the owner of
the feet to supper. The accounts of the
show are decidedly interesting, and
there appears to be some difference Of
opinion as to how high the curtain
was raised But it was certainly rails
ed high enough to reveal some fine feet,
| with some fine stockings and shoes on
them The show was a great success
so far as the feet were concerned, but
the young men did not financially re-

those who furnished it hoped they

The great State Of New York can be
fooled, but it hasn't been thoroughly
fooled this year by Mexicans. The
facts are set forth in the Mail and
Express are that New York, in COM
mon with other States, was invited to
make a display at the Mexican Ma
tional Exposition of Industries and
Fine Arts" to be held in the City of
Mexico. The press generally Endorsed
the suggestion, as coming from sis
ter republic in whose progress we
should evince a keen interest, and aid
in every way possible. Discussion of
the idea led to its adoption. The State
authorities and the legislature were
favorably heard from. The governor
appointed commission, and in Janu-
airy last recommended a liberal appro-
priation. A bill was introduced in both

sPEAKING H0PEFULZY.

"All the members of the committee
spoke hopefully for Democratic sue
cess in the fall elections" So cheerful
ly said the Register in it's report of the
meeting of the Democratic State CEN
trail committee yesterday
Speaking hopefully is the chief occu-
patton of Democratic fuglers nowadays
and it has been for some time past.
They can't afford to speak the truth
and so they speak hopefully. They be-
gan to speak hopefully when they were
fooling the people into voting for
Cleveland. After election, when things
didn't pan out in accordance with the
hopeful speaking before election, they
felt obliged to continue to speak hope
fully. The faster the treasury deficit
grew the more hopefully they spoke of
the time when the receipts of the gov
eminent would at least equal it's ex-
penditures. That time hasn't yet come
puL luey are Slltl SpcdhlllE,
about it. The promised prosperity OF
the people is not yet in sight, but the
Democratic fuglers are still speaking
hopefully about it. They hopefully say
that if the people will only keep the
Democrats in power long enough pros
perity will surely come.
After what has happened it takes
nerve to speak hopefully for Democrat
ic success in the fall elections. The
hope will be deferred, just as all the
Democratic hope has been. If the DEM
ocrats' hope for success in the fall cleo
tions ever pans out it will not be this
fall but some other fall. They will
have to speak hopefully about such sue
cess for long time just as they have
about a solvent treasury and popular
prosperity under Dem ocratic govern
ment.

Milwaukee bicyclists are not afraid
of the city council, as a majority of the

election of the council hinged largely
upon the bicycle question and in some

The Emperor of China and the Dowage
Empress,

A recent issue of the Picking Gazette
contains a curious decree by the en-
peror relating to the empress dowager.
His majesty begins by stating that he
has ever been careful to nourish rever-
entially sentiment of gratitude for
her care and s0licitude for him day
and night during his early childhood,
and he has sought to repay her by
obeying her in everything. He also
owes her deep debt of gratitude for
freely giving him the unreasonable
benefits of her advice on every subject
from peace and war down to the small
est matter of every day life and de-
pertinent. Her solicitude indeed is all

Chauncey M. Depew knows some
thing about wines. He is reported as
talking thus about California wines:
The Californian who makes a light dry
wine such as will meet the prevailing
and rapidly growing demand will make
the greatest Californian fortune, a
greater fortune than any one yet made,
and limited only by the resources of
his vineyards. There is too much al
cohol in sugar in the grapes and the
sugar makes alcohol. The earlier ship
ments of wine were especially faulty
in this regard. Now, this man whom
I speak of, who is to make the great
est California fortune, will go a little

Farmers in the region about Fresno,
California, are almost in despair be-
cause of the plague of rabbits. AL
though many thousands of the animals
have been killed lately in one way or
another, by poison, by shooting, and in
rabbit drives, they do not appear to de-
crease in numbers. Thousands have
been shot in a day, but they come in
from the surrounding uncultivated re-
gions to feast on the grain fields in in
creasing numbers. 1t is estimated that
three jack rabbits will eat as much
grain as one sheep. A big drive was
held in February and many thousands
Of rabbits were killed, but a month
later it was estimated there were 100000
on the same ground. Another drive
was held the last of March, but al
ready the rabbits are swarming in
again.

accompanying engraving proves this,
for though the waist there shown was
new and expensive, it's chief and only
important difference from the styles
for last seasons waists came below the
belt. 1t was taken from greenish yell
low taffeta, a point that of itself
proved the garments newness, had a

side. It's front was lightly gathered at
neck and waist and was garnished
with horizontal bands of lace insertion.

accordeon-pleated and edged with lace,
hung down the front. The same silk
trimmed the collar and the sleeves,
which with the basque were of Powered

How to overcome the drop in power
near the end Of long Standardization
lines is a problem which managers of
such lines are trying to solve. Increas-
ing the number of power houses would
readily solve it, but at an expense
which the companies are loath to as
sumo. They are watching with inter-
est the efforts Of a Philadelphia COM
pany to meet the difficulty in another
way. This is by the establishment of
a large storage battery. The direct
current used 'fonthe trolley system can
not be forced many miles from the
power station with the loss of consid-
cradle power, and on nearly all ex-
tensive street-railway system, towards
the end Of longer lines, there is a de-
feieney Of power during the busy hours
of the day. In the middle of the day
and at night, when there is a surplus
of power, the storage battery will alb
sorb the surplus above a certain point
and become charged. When the de-
mands exceed the supply from the
power station, and the cars often run
slowly and with dim lights, the storage
battery is expected to discharge auto
matically it's accumulated current into
the line, making up the deficiency.

Careful attention to detail permeates
the whole industrial system in France.
A remarkable exemplifcation of the
habit of minute attention to crumbs
and fragments that fell to the
ground in the process of manufacturing
has been brought to public attention
by newspaper correspondent. The
lint from cotton and wooden rags, the
hair from calf and kid skins used in
glove making, the refuse of silk, the
sweepings of spinning and weaving
mills and loose threads from trimming
rooms and the dust of silk, cotton,
linen, hemp and jute which gathers like
down under beds in ill kept living
rooms form most unpromising tumble
of waste substances. But a French
manufacturer at Cours skillfully blends,
according to need, these different prod
ucts with raw cotton and wool, which
is then carded and spun and woven with
cotton wool into a material which he
has named Renaissance" 1t is made
into coverlets, rugs, counterpanes,
printed or dyed swanskin, f1annels,
curtains, portieres, table spreads and
furniture covering. These articles are
most slilIfully dyed and dressed and
appeal to the eye of the purchaser. A
notable demand for this class of goods
has sprung UP in Brazil. Cours, the
seat of the Renaissance" industry, has
fifteen factories producing this con-
glomerate material and has been made
thereby a prosperous and thriving
town.
