THE V0rE OF ARKANsAs.

The truth concerning the recent elec-
 tion in Arkansas has been rather slow
 in leaking out of the State, but it now
 appears to have leaked out And it is
 pened in Vermont or Maine Nothing encouraging to the cause of honest and so when a great silver victory was reported from there no questions were
 asked. But it now appears that the Popocratic plurality Is only 3s,s4o in- stead of s0,000. The Republicans cast 10000 more votes for their gubernatorial candidate, Remmel, than they gave
 him in 1884, The combined Democratic and Populist vote of 1894 was 99, ,350, and this vote should have been ex- l ceeded ih view of the Popocratic com
 bine of 1896. But there were thousands
 of Democrats in Arkansas who would
 not support the revolutionary ideas of
 the Popocratic leaders. We are told that great numbers of Democrats re-
 mained away from the polls, refusing to vote because Colonel Jones, the Popocratic gubernatorial candidate, had proclaimed from every stump in
 the State that he would not support 1 the nominee of the Chicago convention if he happened to be a gold man or was nominated on a gold platform.
 This late and good news from Arkan- sas means that the causes that in l fuenced the vote in Vermont and
 Maine also influenced the vote in Ar 1 kansas. They will influence the vote in all parts of the country in November,
 and they will so influence it that the
 country will be saved from that which at first seemed so threatening. Popo-
 cracy Is a failure, and it we'll merits l the repudiation that awaits it.

LECTION BY OTHER PEopEE.

This is a great year for the people They appear to be waking up all around. And astonishing as it may seem and is, the people of New Haven are really taking an interest in school matters. A week ago last night three or four hundred people, many of whom were and are bright and beautiful be- ings met in Harmonic hall and noni- mated a school ticket, one of whose members was especially chosen to rep. resent the aforesaid bright and beau tiful beings. All was as merry as we'd ding bells rung in honor of the mar riage of tact and taste to hard common sense and executive ability. But the action of the people who did the busi- ness at that meeting was not pleasing to all the people, and as soon as the merry wedding bells stopped ringing there were other and less merry noises. Last evening there was another meet ing of people at Harmonic hall and the
 
 bright and beautiful beings were not there. The hall was filled with people who were neither bright nor beauti- full like the shining ones who were at | the other meeting, but they were bright enough to nominate a ticket which correctly represents the protests that have been made by some of the peo- pie. The question is, Shall we have a woman member of the Board of Ed l ucation and shall that woman be Miss Ives? The two tickets which two sets of people have put in the field make it possible to answer that question intel ligently and safely. Next Monday the people will answer it. Until then and after then let us have peace.

MAFIA DuELs IN SICILY.

The young members of the Mafia go through 8 regular course of lessons with the knife, their peculiar weapon. Matches take place in some obscure To- cality, generally a low dancing-room, under the superIntendence of veterans of the society. Should warning be giv- en of the approach of the police, the knives are quickly hidden, and the company is found enjoying an innocent dance. The chief qualities needed in a good fighter are quick eye and nimble limbs. The only parry to knife thrust is with the left hand. and should one of the parties have longer knife than the other, the latter tries to close; but the trick Is very difficult. Being so

best in dancing dress. If the dancing train does meet acceptance, then satin will be the material for evening wear, and the material required will add much to the cost of the dress, though those big sleeves took an awful lot
 Trimming skirts about the hem is being a good deal resorted to, and in some gowns a very odd effect is there- by created, though the dresses are in undeniably good taste. The unusual ness of such trimming soon ceases to impress the observer, and what at first seemed oddity becomes tasteful orna- mentation. In the original of to-day's picture one of these striking effects was attained, and 1t came from putting two ruff1es of figured silk at the bottom of a skirt of pearl gray cloth. The vest, stock collar and frill were of the same silk, and the remainder was from the cloth. The odd revers reached from shoulder to waist line, the sleeves were shirred along the inner seam and a short positilion basque showed at sides and back.
 The emerald is the popular stone at present. It is quite fad to wear sev- eral rings of one kind of stone on the hand, and women are going in for col lections of one kind of gem. All this is well to know, for though you may not have ring of your own, 1t is great comfort to authoritatively criti- else the woman who wears lot of dif- ferent stones these days.

the globe. Each observatory is to maks 1900 plates, and each plate photographs two degrees square. As many as 1l,027 plates are required to cover the entire heavens, and the celestial chart they will be used to construct will represent a sphere having 0 radius of over 3ta yards. Some of the pls tes are to be ex- posed to the heavens for five minutes; others for an hour. The shorter expo sure will give material for chart to contain 25OO.OOO stars, How many will be revealed by the longer exposure it lions have been pieced together and the aggregate made up after careful ir- spection. It will doubtless contain many whose existence has hitherto been unexpected. The long exposure will produce a record of stars, or suns, so distant from us as to be of the sev- enteenth or eighteenth magnitude stars whose light requires millions of years to reach us. The vast spacious ness Of the universe will be evidenced in the minute dots that reveal to prac- ticed eyes systems of worlds not previ- ously known.
 Some arrangement ought to be made to photograph the stars which the Boy Orator and his supporters will see when they are hit in November by the Will of the People. They would dot a large chart.

FASHION NOTES.
Changes in Bali Dresses,


 The cut of ball gowns for the winter is not certain yet, but pompadour hair is sure to cali for square neck, and the tight sleeve effect is likely to produce the long bare arm and shoulder strap for evening dress. This is not so pret- ty as the off-shoulder styles. There is some hope that an effort will be made to introduce the long dancing skirt. Waltzing becomes graceful when the dancer Is followed by the sweep of a beautifully cut skirt, and ball rooms cannot be so crowded when skirts must be considered. Men are obliged to guide one more carefully, and the many girls to whom the bobbed off dancing skirt of the last few seasons has been. trying will again look their

Some say there is no such thing as luck. A Chicago contractor, one E. R. Brainerd, who had for some years been prominent in public work in that city, met with financial reverses last spring and 'twent to pieces After settling his affairs he found among "the rem nants' a piece of land at I4yndhurst, Virginia, of about five hundred acres which he had taken for a bad debt, and which had been too poor or too in significant to go into the general dis tribution of his effects. A local paper reports that this Virginia land has sud- denly become valuable through the dis covery upon it of a mine of manganese, the most valuable ever found in the country. Good authorities say that there is S1, ,000, 900 worth of the metal in sight and company has been formed to operate upon it. Manganese is used extensively in iron working and the find is an important one to the iron industry as 1t is to the fortunate man upon whose land it lies.

The musical instrument which was
 made of the horns of animals in bible
 days has had recent revival, and the royal court instrument maker at Berlin,
 Mir. E. w. Moritz, has just tested a beautiful horn made from an antelope horn over four feet in length. The em- peror was so pleased with the new &C., quisition that he ordered 1t to be fur ther tested. The horn allows of beau- tiful decoration and ornamentation, and, when fitted with the ordinary nnouthpiece, is said to give forth a re- markedly sweet sound. It has already been artistically employed in repre- sentation of Wagner's "Rienzi" at the Royal opera house, where it was heard with great effect in the overture and later in the call to arms. It is expected that the horn will soon be in popular use in parade-ground and concert hall.
