PARTISAN FANCIES.
-Four Yards the Correct Width For Dress.
Fashionable Eaoks,

Tho skirt Of tho immediate future Is only
o little over four yards In circumference
This Is move IN the right direction, espe-
oially as cold weather and fashions togeth-
or will bring an abundance of thick wool
en- goods. The decrease Of amplitude will
relieve suffering womankind from much
unnecessary weight of apparel, since less
crinoline is now being used.
Partisan authorities consider the square
decolletagc most becoming to women in
clincd to embonpoint while slender ones
have tho neck Of the gown cut rounding
The hair Is still worn more or less waved
Tho back hair being ooiled rather high.
The side locks are left rather loose and
fluffy and are fastened by side combs.
Alpaca mohair and materials Of that
kind are very much liked for travelling
wear but nothing can surpass q good
quality Of serge or O cancels hair. Many
fashionable women have skirt Of wool
and q waist Of silk In some subdued color
or plaid. There are dark blue, green,
gray and brown plaids that are exceedingly
stylish and mako the most perfect waists
for this purpose. A loose and easily adjust

Senator Faulkner on CarlIsle's Letter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE letter pub
lished yesterday from Secretary Carlisle
to u gentleman in Kentucky explaining
how the parity is maintained between
gold and silver, is the subject of much
comment at Democratic headquarters.
Senator Faulkner expressed his regret
that the secretary of the treasury should
have announced a policy which invites a
depreciation in our currency, and will at
once encourage the gold spectators and
money lenders of tho country to addi-
tional raids upon our gold reserve with a
view of forcing the government to con-
tinue issuing interest bearing bonds to
carry out the policy suggested in the let
tor of tho secretary of the treasury.

heart could desire and possess the merit
of looking as we'll as new every time they
are Numbered. The petticoat requires to
DO very wide and to have number of full
lounccs in order to keep Its boutfancy, but
muslin and lawn are so light that this
abundant trimming is no burden, nave to
the person who does the ironing.
Tho illustration shows one Of the fash

of cream lace over cream taffeta and has
square fronts opening over full chemi-

and watch and chain are permissible, but
these are hardly to bo reckoned as jewolry.
Some women always wear their rings,
thinking that the hand is the safest place
for them, in which superstition they are
probably correct, but all other articles Of
ornament pure and simple are tabooed.
A sketch is given Of gown for very

skirt being trimmed around the foot with
three ruffles Of cream linon edged with
narrow lace. The bodice is gathered at the

EVICTION WARNINGS.
Indiana Miners Notified to Move Out by
Two Big Companies.

Notices OF the eviction were posted Mon
day by the Parke County Coal company and
the Coal Bluff company, who operate mines
in Yigo and Parke counties, Indiana, and en-
ploy 1000 men. This is the result OF the ac-
tion OF the miners convention last week de-
Gliding to continue the strike for co cents.
These operators intend to run their mines in
dependent OF the miners organization and
to bring In men who will be willing 10 work
for SO cents.
President Knight OF the Miners associa-
tion, says ho has reason to believe that in a
few days several OF the operators who have
been holding out for the 55 cent rate since
last May viii pay 60 cents and that when one
does this the others will follow.
The miners officials have said that one
half the bituminous miners in the state were
working AT the 20 cent rate aud that u large
number of others were working 'irregular, :"
as 1t is called, for less than that under the
box measurement basis of pay. President
Bally, of the association, furnishes state
ment to show that of the mines that produce
the ZOO, 900 tons OF coal u year those who
have 10000 tons ofthe output are now idle
and that OF those at work only $50, 900 tons
are mined where the 60 cent rate is paid.
Those working "irreGular" represent 4l0,-

Farm PRODUCTS AND VALUES.
The Immensity Of the Interest and Its share
in Trade.

In his annual report Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Morton recommends the appointment OF
n permanent director In charge OF bureaus
and scientific Investigations. He suggests
increased pny for the chiefs OF bureaus and
divisions and government inspection OF all
animals intended for human food. the cost TO
be paid by the packers. Ho points out that
OF the total consumption OF meat In the
United Kingdom during the first six months
OF 1896, the United States supplied rs. 10 per
cent OF the cattle. and 1926 Of tho sheep,
but as American packers did not cure swine
products to suit the British demand they
nre not participating as they should In that
branch OF the trade. Although the United
states shipped $4,000 horses to Great Britain
during 1895, more were sent In the first nine
months OF 1896 than In any previous year.
Mr.. Morton says that the seeds distributed
