General Antonio Maceo, as follows:
Resolved, That the killing OF Cen
eral Antonio Maceo. a renowned gen.
eral in the service Of the republic OF
Cuba, II true, while under a flag OF
truce and with an assurance of safety
from the Spanish captain general, was
a violation Of the rules Of civilized
war. an outrage of base treachery, a
murder cowardly and disgraceful,
which demands the execration of ev-
cry government and Of all the world,
whether civilized or savage; that the
government which authorizes or per.
mits or fails to punish the asaassns
who are connected in any way with the
guilt of this crime, with the extreme
penalty of the law, Is an outcast from
the family OF nations and from the
pale Of civilization and public law.
THAT the committee on foreign rela.
lions be directed to make inquiry as to
the facts and report to the senate At
an early day"
Another resolution by Mr.. Call re-
quested the president to demand the
release OF all United States citizens Inn

NEWEST ROUND HATS.

The conical crown continues to ap-
pear on the newest round hats of the
season. 1t was hoped that this shape
would come up only to disappear, as
do many other erratic and exaggerated
styles, but it seems to gain ground as
the autumn advances. 1t is a style, as
a whole-laden with its weight of
superliuous garnitures.-that is Ger.
tainly not in accordance with the pres
ent elaborate spreading effects in
dress. The steeple-crowned hat of
the typical Welsh woman looks in
unison with the rest of her National
garb-the aspiring hat making up by
its height for the shortness of her
scant skirts, so that proportion is duly
maintained. Some of the new Mother
Goose styles of hats for dress wear
have sugar-loaf crowns and immense
brims, fiat all around, OF curved at
the sides. These shapes would prove
trying to the most beautiful face OF
the most regular features. Many are

with white plumes, tips, breast feath.

Earth Sinking in Missouri.

The people about Mansfield, No.,

the bill was overdue three months. He
wanted more goods. T called for q settle

"Stop right here TIL ~ o'clock and I'll show
you" From the factory gate, directly in
front of that grocer's, the operatives came
from the factory at ~ o'clock, The line
parted-each had tin pail-and part went
to one rum shop and a part to the other.
Then they came out with pots of beer and
united again at the grocers counter, bought
their bread, had II charged and went home,

times were hard with the grocer, collections
slow and margins small, and the rumseller
had patent on his rum business, and, as
this was In Massachusetts, the law guaran .

grocer looked forward to better times also;
and he moved from that place to one where
there were no s6ioons near, aud ultimately
settled with me. Facts drawn from real life
are stranger than fiction. But the strange
thing about this episode is that this same ex-
perience is borne by merchants and men OF

scene in which she is placed, and the
Empress Elizabeth's mistress of the

snowy hair and her simple back dress,

SEEN IN MY 1ADY's CHAMBER.

Every well regulated bedroom
which has more than one occupant
has two single beds nowadays. They
are fitted up in what is called the
italian style. The brass back which
is draped, is in one piece, and has the
regulation movable arms, on which
the curtains are hung. The high foot
piece of each bedstead is separate,
save for still higher arch made OF
ornamented brass, which connects the
two draperies and is rather more elab-
crate. The full back is still used, but
over it are arranged deep festoons
and long dropping ends, bordered
with narrow fringe.

FASHION NOTES.

Braiding will be one OF the new
fashions.
Black corded silks and plain satins
will be fashionable.
The lowered silks that wore SO pop.
ular early in the summer will be worn
until late.
The cloth waists for winter will have
the body of the waist braided and the
sleeves plain.
One of the most fashionable bodices
now worn is the short bolero or zouave
jacket, of which there are many types.
Miniature golf sticks in gold are de-
signs in the newest scarf pins made by
the representative jewellers. They are
certainly up to date.
The black Alpine hat is to be gen.
orally adopted, to the exclusion Of the
white with black band. The latter is
dubbed "too common"
The recognized finish to every we'll
made skirt is a narrow inside foot-frlll,
pinked at either edge, which should
be caught to the facing every few
inches.
Skirts of black and white striped
silks are juss now desirable and eco,
nomieal, while they are appropriate
and harmonious, worn either with
black or white chiffon bodices.
Pearls are the fad of the hour.

DOUGH IN STOCK.

Every family is fond of "raised"
food that is, the many breads which
may be made by the addition of yeasts.
1t is, however, good deal of bother
to set sponge, and so most house
holds see those hot breads but rarely,
and depend upon their unsatisfactory
substitutes-the baking powder COM
pounds. 1t would help their hsbttual
use if it were more widely known that
one may keep sponge, if stiff enough
to mould, for a week in an ice box.
Parts can be taken from it, as required
for use, and it will be found to act
precisely as new dough should--that
is, if it is properly cared for; if it is
not kept longer than six or seven days,
and if it is lett in the refrigerator.

THE NEW COLLAR BANDS.

The collar bands on the new gowns
are one of the special points of deco
ration, and frills of some sort are in
variably set in on the edge to stand up
around the neck, commencing little
distance apart on either side of the
front. They are made of knife-plaited
silk, ribbon, lace or chiffon, and one
very effective trimming is lace in VAN
dyke points, outlined with a tiny
ruche of colored ribbon and gathered
into the neck. Plain velvet collars,
with plaitings of ribbon set in fan
shape at the back, are very pretty, and
cellars made of bias folds of light vel
vet or satin, with narrow black pearl
edged ribbon edging each fold, are
another fancy.

TEMPERANor NEWS AND NOTES.

The saloons say, "You furnish the boys.
We do the rest"
OF the working men who have won their
way 20 the British House Of Commons, only
one was not an abstainer.
There is no excuse for the man who fre-
quents the saloons. He goes there of his
own choice. He is not forced.
Proyerty and drunkenness act and react on
each other. Both cause ignorance and dis
case, parents Of all vice and unhappiness.
The Earl OF Carlisle has given a practical
illustration Of his belief in the drink evil by
destroying the contents OF his famous wine
cellar.
Absinthe drinking is said TO be on the In.
crease in England, ana a society has been
recently organised TO work for special legts-
lation against the insidious liquor.
The devil might have thought out some
more effectual plan than the running OF bar
rooms for destroying souls, but the barroom
is doing so much for him that he has moi
put any new plan in motion.
