with a natural channels skin bag is ex-
cellent, and certain dull blue that is
always to be found in the undrcssed
leather makes delightful effect in a
quiet way.
Whatever the color, however, and
whether the leather be dressed or I'M
dressed, the process is the same. Cut two
strips each 9le inches long by 3 - wide.
Slash each from the bottom for the
depth of quarters of an inch into
narrow bits to form Il fringe. Then lay
one over the other and with a hot,
pointed iron burn holes through both
along the entire three sides, as indicated
in the illustration. Leave space Of
one-quarter of an inch between each
two holes. Cut narrow strip of the
leather not over one-eighth of an inch
in width and with it lace the two pieces
firmly together. The burned holes are
in keeping with the decoration and give
the better effect, but if they prove diff
cult "a shoemaker's punch can be used
and the holes simply punched through.
For the bag cut the silk or channels
skin Z e inches wide by i'll depth.
Seam it and turn down the upper edge,
to form frill one inch wide. Stitch
round twice, to form a casing. Then sew
the bag fast to the leather case on the
inner side.
With an etching tool or a pointed
iron heated redhot burn on the decora-
ton and the lettering. If ooze leather
is used, simple slate pencil, placed in
holder to protect the hand, will do
the work Run narrow ribbon through
the casing of the bag and attach guam
tity of shaving papers, cut in the exact
size, to the back Two simple paper
fasteners, one at each edge of the upper
end, will secure the papers and allow
of their being torn off with ease, while
at the same time the entire quantity
can be readily renewed.

sion to obtain work elsewhere. By this, backed by a great amount of corroborative testimony, Mir. Strong proposes to show that the association railroads are leagued with each other to prevent any man who leaves, or is discharged from the employment of any one of them, from obtaining work elsewhere un- til the road which formerly employ ed him gives it's permission. And a similar agreement, Mr. Strong says, has been entered into by the meat packers, with Armour at their head; by the express companies, and even by large dry goods stores of Chi eago.
 MT. George thus closes his dis patch: with this terrible power lY- ing back of suggestions and intimi- dation, itis no wonder that men arc wearing Mckinley buttons and join ing clubs, and giving other expres- sions of a political faith in which they do not really believe

Says He Will Never Discuss Such In a
 Pulpit He Occupies.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Rev. r. De Witt Talmage, in his sermon at the First Presbyterian church Sunday made the following allusion to the presi- dental campaign
 During the last six presidential cleo tions I have been urged to enter the po- itical arena, but I never have and never will turn the pulpit in which I preach into political stump. Every minister must do as he feels called on to do. and Twill not criticise him for doing what he considers his duty but all the political harangues from pulpits from now until Nov 5, will not in all the United States change one vote, but will leave many ears stopped against anything that such clergymen may utter the rest of their lives /"
 This statement was followed by reference to the depression now prevail ing throughout the country, and he said that never within his memory had s.so many peop.e literally starved to death as in the past few months" He be- iieved the country was better off after every crisis, and that the Almighty would settle the controversy between the metals.

THERE are hoodlems everywhere, but in view of the disgraceful con duet of the students at Yaie Col lege in New Haven the other day when Candidate Bryan attempted to speak, there appears to be more toodlems on the campus of Yale College than on any other similar area in America. Mir Bryan asserted a great truth when he rebuked them by saying that they were not producers but dis tributors of wealth. They were no doubt the worthless sons of wealthy parents whose wealth was ill-gotten by favoritism in legislation.

 Mr. Henry George sends a dis patch from Cleveland to the New York Journal in which he spsaks oI the intense political feeling exist ing there, and especially among the laboring organizations, which arc enthusiastically in favor of Bryan. He also mentions some interesting information he received from Mir. William J. Strong, of Chieao, who has on hand suits against various railroads for preventing men from obtaining employment. He was able to bring into court in one of these suits the minutes Of the Gen eral Managers Association of some twenty-six railroads centering in Chicago, which shows the formation of railroad employment bureau. Mr. Strong says it is impossible for railroad man to get employment on any road, no matter how badly that road might need men, unless he brought from the road on which he had been previously employed, what is known as clearance.
 But what previously was the vital point in the clearance flor it was evidently more than testimonial of competency. or even Q testimou- ial that the men had never taken part in any act injurious to the company-Mr. Strong could not for a longtime discover. Only recent ly he has got hold of a clearance" issued by the Northwestern, which he has locked up in a safe until it can be put in evidence when these cases come up again. From this he discovered the vital point of the clearanceo to be, He has permis-
