A BOX-PLEATED SKIRT.

The new skirts are cut with two cores in the
back, which form box-pleats. The one shown
here has in all seven cores, the two side cores
flowing wide at the foot and close fitted over
the hips. The great advantage gained by two
side cores is the permanent good shape, for
these cores do not stretch out of shape as a
wider and necessarily more bias gore would.
All fabrics are cut in this way, and the side
cores are usually cut straight at the front
edge; but if striped goods are used they may be
cut straight through the center, thus lining
the edges both bias and making the stripes
meet at the seams. The back cores are cut with
the straight thread through the center In any
case.
Black satin is still as much used as any
other fabric for skirts to be worn with fancy

TROUBLE FOR THE DEMOCRACY

The latest from Governor AItgeld is that
he proposes to throw the Illinois delega-
tons vote to a man by the name of Sam
uel P. Mcconnell for President, and if he
fails to win on that line he will insist that
his friend Mcconnell be given the other
end of the ticket. That is all right, but
who discovered Mcconnell and what
about him? There was no man by that
name prominently mixed up in the Hay
market riots, but he must have done some
thing some time to have endeared him to
Altgeld. The Governor does everything
for purpose, and there is meaning in
springing the man Mcconnell, whoever he
may be, at the last hour before the Chi
cago nomination.
For some time the signs of the times
have pointed to rupture between Altgeld
and the Boies and the Bland combina-
tions, and at the State Convention the
other day Altgeld would not permit either
Boies' or BANDS agents to work up a
boom for their principal. Just what the
trouble is does not appear, but it is safe to
say that Altgeld is manipulating to have
himself reelected Governor of Illinois. 1t
is very certain that Illinois will return a
Mckinley electoral vote, but that does not
necessarily mean Republican Governor.
So if Altgeld can give his man, Mcconnell,
the compliment of the vote of the State
delegation for President or Vice President
it may be that Mcconnell will return the
compliment by securing to Altgeld in his
race for Governor such votes of the Chi
cago tough element as he does not already
own.
But however that may be, it means q
split in the silver wing of the Democracy
unless Altgeld has things pretty much his
own way. Altgeld hates Cleveland as he
never hated any other man. By ordering
troops toChicago during the Pullman strike
the President destroyed a good many feath-
ers that Altgeld was getting ready to don.
The strike was the opportunity of Altgeld's s
lifetime, and he knew it. He would have
gone to Chicago in his official capacity as
Governor, and made life friend and
worker of every striker. 1t was a wonder
full opportunity to play his kind of politics,
but Cleveland got in first, and since then
Altgeld has lived for the one purpose of
putting down the President and covering
him with the contempt of every man whom
he could control. Aside from their poll
tics, Boies and Bland are men of high
character, and that being exactly what
Altgeld does not want in his campaign, no
doubt he has formed an alliance with the
Mcconnell ring. But in any event it will
make more trouble for the Chicago con-

blouse waists or coat basques for full dress oc-
casions. The latest thing Is the lining of white
silk, finished with plain binding OF velveteen
date. The only stiffening now used is a band
of haircloth about six inches wide at the foot,
and even this is omitted in many skirts, the
flare depending on the proper cut and on the
body OF the silk used for lining.
Dresden silks are much used for separate
skirts, and recommend themselves because
two or three different colors will generally har-
monize with them, and SO a great variety in
waist is possible. One of brown with black
satin threads, the flowers being indefinite
tones OF violet, had brown velvet coat basque,
black satin waist and waist of violet chiffon
trimmed with sable for evening wear.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
A subcommittee was appointed and di-

forth the Monroe doctrine, the full commit
tee by an almost unanimous vote deciding
that this doctrine should receive the af-
firmation of Congress. The wording of the
resolution Will be reported to the fun com
mittee at the next meeting.
Mr.. Gray was alone in his opposition TO
the resolution. The discussion of the Vene-

sage. saDctiouiDg any amica bic settlement
made between the Venezuelan government
and Great Britain by the cession OF terri
tory would be acluiesced in by the United
States, would probably be accepted by
Great Britain as the best way-out of the
difficulty. This probable result of the diff
ficulty was deplored, but the ground was
taken that, inasmuch as the President had
committed the United States to this policy
in this particular case, there could be uo
protest.
