culations upon any help that may come from Democratic voters who do not take to silver. On this point he says: It would not be wise or safe to count unguided dlscontent in plurality We count upon our own vote, and do not consider disaffections. Our aim Is to get that vote out, and the measure of ultimate success we attain will be large or small, according IS we pros per in the effort. We shall undoubtedly poll heavy vote, but do not look for such total as was cast in the Demo- cratic -Greenback fusion election Of 1880, when 147 ,000 ballots were declared. That was the greatest vote ever thrown if it was actually thrown. There was good reason for doubting the accuracy of the returns, and there are persons who have ever since affirmed that 147,- 900 voters did not go to the polls that day.
 This forecast is evidently 0 conserva- tive one and will probably be more than justified. It is very encouraging and will strengthen the hearts and hands of those who are fighting for honest money and honest government

GOOD NEVIS FROM MAINE.

All eyes are on Maine, where the State election is to be held on the 14th day of next month. The result of that election will have very important in f1uence on the general result. It will greatly hearten and dishearten. And it is very cheering that the indications are that the Republicans are the ones who are going to be heartened by it. A preliminary canvass of the State has been made and Chairman Manley of the Republican State committee be- lieves that every county in the State will go Republican. He says: Demo- crats may tell you there are Republi- cans who have gone over to silver. No doubt there are, but they are not nu- merous enough to affect the result. There are always men who change from side to side. They can be found in every campaign, and not more plen- tifully in this than in any other. The usual effort is being put forth to make each one of these seem to be a bat talion, but when you get right down to facts you will not be disturbed very much. We have not lost single com- mitteeman in any county, at least no such loss has been reported to us yet, and we have detailed reports from ev- cry hamlet The names of men are given who are changing from Republi- can principles to shver, and also the names of those who are changing from old Democrat principles to silver. and I can assure you that when these are all added up there is nothing to un- settle calculations.
 Mir. Manley estimates that the Re publican plurality will be from 15.OOO to 10000. And he does not rest his call

 Senator Thurston charged that "the silver mine owners have maintained ex- pensive bureaus, with corps of speakers and writers. and that William J. Bryan has been in receipt of salary from them for some years" MT. Bryan has said that he has not been employed and paid by the silver kings, and several of them have signed written statement to the effect that they have never paid William J. Bryan salary or any re- muneration whatever for advocating the silver cause, and it is understood that these gentlemen speak for their brother kings.
 correspondent of the Chicago Post has been looking into this matter, and while he admits that the silver kings can truthfully say that they did not pay Bryan, he asserts that they sub scrlbed largely to and paid to the so- called Bimetailic League, and that this  organization paid Bryan. The corre- spondent says, moreover, that the checks of the treasurer of that concern can be found drawn in favor of Bryan every month fo- the last three years passing through the bank at Lincoln Nebraska.
 It will be interesting to see how MT Bryan meets this charge, The best way for him to deal with It is to tel the truth. If he has been in the pay ot the Bmetallic League he has not neces- sarily been dishonest, but such work will not be generally looked on as 3 good preparation Tor the presidency.

dress One in mind was made of soft white Japanese silleen tissue, the skirt falling softly, swathing the hips and sweeping Into a graceful half train at the back The bodice was of surplice cut, with dropping sleeves, and a bit of exquisite lace over a delicate color was set in at the throat. The whole gown was lined with soft silk. Nothing could have been prettier, and without being out of style show less of slavish adherence to faddsh acceptances.
 Few interpretations of this style are found in costumes that are distinctly dressy, and such as are seen are less marked by the described characteris- ties but examples are occasionally seen that show the advance of this fashion toward general favor, and it is one of these that the artist contributes here. It was of blue foulard, the skirt falling softly as shown, and being trimmed at each side by the front breadth with looped white braid It's bodice had large boxpleat in back and similar one in front finished with sidepleats at either side. The shoulder seams were covered with straps trimmed with two rows of gold but tons, and the same buttons ornamented the wide girdle, which was boned and edged with braid Two tiny points im- itated a basque in front and rows of braiding garnished the sleeves in the manner indicated.

cowARDLY MOUNTAIN LIONS.

"There is a good deal of humbug in these stories about the Colorado moun- tain Hon." said Sam Van Horn of West Las Animas yesterday. T read yes terday a story about lion which two men found had got into their cabin through an open window, and knocked one of them down in jumping out when surprised by their return. Now up to that point the story is all right, for the Colorado puma is as big thief as there is in the animal kingdom, but when the story goes on to say that after knock ing one man down it sprang at the oth- CT and shook him by his coat, I don't believe a word of it. for the beast is the most cowardly of all the cat fami- ly of Colorado. I would a hundred times prefer to meet mountain lion than one of the bob-tailed cats that we have down along the Arkansas river. I don't mean to say that the puma won't fight. but before doing so it has to be

cornered. If the track Is clear, 1t will always run from man. Some animals will fight when surprised, but Inever knew a puma to do so, They will al ways get away if they have a clear course, But when they do have to fight in order to get away they are ugly cus- toners, I can tell you, They make one charge with teeth and claws and are gone in flash, but they can do horri- ble damage in passing over one.
 "One day in riding up one of the can- ons of the Purgatoire river I saw a small herd of cattle rushing wildly down the canon. The herd parted as they came up to the men,in front and not twenty feet distant was a puma which had been in hot pursuit until fond of horseflesh, and horses stand in mortal fear of them. My horse shiver- ed with fear, and the beast after standing for an instant perfectly still turned and went up the sides of the canon in great bounds, only stopping when it had reached rocky perch from whence it could watch my move- ments with safety. One day tramp who had been in my camp two or three days started for Trinidad from Purga- toire river. Instead of tling the plain river road he went across the toughest country in creation, disregarding our advice, for we expected nothing but that we would have to search for him or take the responsibility of his death He left early in the morning, and soon after noon, when we were all enjoying our dinner nap, he came in with rush that brought every one to his feet in an instant. The fellow was breathless with running, and as soon as he could recover his speech told us that he had lost his bearings in the canons, wander ed in circle and q short time before mad stumbled upon the big spring where we got our water. Recognizing the locality, he stopped to drink, and as he did so, he saw reflected in the pool the figure of mountain lion as big as a COW. He didn't wait to investigate, and broke the record as he came down to the camp. Of course we laughed at him, and affected not to believe that he had seen anything bigger than jack rabbit, but he stuck to his story and finally asserted that there was not a man in the camp that dared go up to investigate. This could not be permit ted to pass, and I at once seized the buckets and started. The spring was quarter of a mile away, and long be- fore reached there I had forgotten all about mountain lions. You can judge of my surprise, at bending over to fill my buckets saw in the pool the re- f1ection of a large puma with the water dripping from his muzzle. will not say that I was frightened, but the beast was as badly frightened as I for as raised up my head, threw up my arms, and uttered yell like one of Governor Brush's cattle yells, the ami nal whirled, sprang fully twenty feet at the first jump and disappeared in an instant. In twenty years in the mountains have never come suddenly upon a mountain lion that did not get away as rapidly as possible. Denver Republican.

EISnIoN NOTES.
New Skirts That Cling.

It is satisfying to note that some of the most charmingly gowned women this summer are wearing soft skirts when the material is of the soft and clinging kind. For the past season or so they have, in defiance of good taste, been stiffened delicate wools, crepes and soft silks so that all their beauty of texture and fold was lost in the skirt. This is all wrong and it now seems as if the fact would be fully rec ognized by autumn. At any rate, gowns made with softly falling skirts, that sweep out towards the hem merely because of cut and not because of stiff fening, and that cling softly at the hips, are very graceful and becoming. Naturally they are more suitable for informal or picturesque occasions, but they lend themselves charmingly to house gown use and to the garden
