FASHIONS FRILLS.

Dark blue flannel striped with a
white line and white flannel with q
blue line are the fashionable materials
for boating dresses.
The quite up-to-date young woman
boasts of various jaunty little capes and
parasols made OF the same silk, trimmed
to match and lined with the same
colors.
Piumes are the latest hat trimmings,
and the combination of white feathers
and black velvet ribbon on cream
colored Tuscan straw is the most sty-
lish one in all the varied array of sum-
mer hats.
Silk muslin embroidered with pearls
and made over white silk is the latest
thing for wedding gowns, and with
sprays of orange blossoms here and
there it is vastly more becoming to the
average bride than the severe white
satin.
Pique and silk is rather incongru-
GUS combination, but it is fashionable,
and so we must look upon it with favor
whether we like it or not The pique
is used for collars, revers and cape eff
fects on silk gowns, and edged around
with Irish lace.
Further resources for the use of grass
linen have developed in millinery, and
boating hats are made of this material,
lined with black crinoline straw and
trimmed with black quills. Another
pretty hat for yachting is the Panama
straw trimmed with rosette of black
and white glace ribbon.
One of the features of the seasons
fashions which is adapted to women of
all ages is the use of transparent ma
terials. White muslins, gauze and ba-
tiste are worn by young ladies, and
more fascinating than all are the black
grenadines flowered all over in blurred
soft colors, and these are so much re-
duced in price that they are within the
reach of limited purse.

larly in camp. Butter may be kept
hard and fresh without ice by rolling
it in damp cloth, which is large
enough to roll several times around
the butter. The roll should be left
where there will be current OF air,
and the cloth should be. moistened
constantly. The butter will then keep
firm.

WORD 70 YOUNG VOIE'R.S.

There will be number OF
young men who will for their first
time cast their votes for a candi-
date for president Of these United
States. Young men do not be
fooled by the cry of free silver, as
the only difference between the
two great parties, or the only
issue, for it is not. There are
other great issues. The tariff is
sue, is above them all. IT we
had a protective tariff law, such as
the republican party advocates,
our laborers would be able to get
work. We must study the past
history Of the old parties before
we can cast an intelligent vote.
Past history is politics Of the past,
and politics of the past is history
of the present. Ask yourself
young voters which party has
built up our great west Which
has given homes to thousands OF
homeless in the western countries
Which has tied the east to the
great west by railroad Which
party suppressed treason and saved
the union! Which party has
given every person an equal right
and citizenship? Which party
gave US a free school system {!
Which party gave US the black
laws, and which party wiped
them ont? Which party opened
and encouraged manufactures
Which party developed our mines!
Which party has been paying our
national debt ; Which party gave
us the money we now have.
Which party gave us the tesla
banks and the old wild cat money!
Which party defended our rights
and our citizenship in other coun-
tries or islands In short young
man compare the growth Of states
where the republican party has
had control with those under
democratic rule. Examine their
laws, look at their progress, then
ask yourself which party you will
support. Be sure and cast YOU
vote right, and you will be proud
of your first vote in the future.

RACE ECHOES.
HON. JOHN r.. LYNCH MAKES
aPEAr FINANCIAL. SPEECH.

HON. JOHN R. Li NH MAhEo "a
GREAT FINANCIAL SPEECH.
The Light (Miss) Vicksburg:
Hon. John II. Lynch delivered a
speech Thursday night, July 2, in
representatives hall to a full house.
He went into an exhaustive treat
ment of the financial question and
planted himself squarely on the
republican platform. He con-
tended that until an international
agreement could be secured, there
was not nothing that could be
safely done except to maintain the
present gold standard. He said
he had entertained these views for
years, and had given the subject
much study.
He gave a history of the gold
reserve, which he said ne helped
to create. He said that the rea-
son the reason the government
had to borrow money to keep up
the reserve was because we were
running behind.
He said: 81 do not propose to
criticise Mr.. Cleveland, because |
believe he is eminently right on
this question, though wrong on all
others. On this one question Mr..
Clevelanu is right and the Miss
issippi democracy is wrong. With
all the fadlt Of Mississippi demo
cracy, | love the state and will be
buried in its bosom when | die. |
am sorry that the Mississippi
democracy has gone back on the
only democratic president they
have been able to elect since | can
remember"
In closing he predicted that Mr.
Mckinley would be elected, and
urged his hearers to be upright
and Just and vote the republican
ticket. During his entire speech
he was freelp applauded.
