WAITING ROOM AT THE GREEN.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CorRTER:
 Our city fathers as well as some of our town born" people could have re- ceived a great object lesson during the hurricane and rain storm of yesterday afternoon if they could have stood in the doorway of the Mix drug store on Church street when the rain was coming down in torrents, and the wind was blowing a gale, by looking across the street at the corner of the Green and seeing humanity of all ages from a young girl of tender years to old men and women striving vainly to hold umbrellas over their anatomy against a vicious wind blowing forty miles an hour. It was pitiful to see a portion of them huddle like a flock of sheep for shelter under the roof of the little pump stand" while outside this dim inutive structure stood scores of people. dripping wet, and be-dragg all be- cause of a foolish sickly sentimentaIism among a select few of the town born'' that the sacred green" must not be en- cFOached upon.

We have no great inventors, we have no constructors of things either ornamen- tai or useful, Women are even losing theuseful domestic arts which make hemes happy and comfortable. This all arises from eating flesh and drink ing liquor, and the smoking of tobacco caps the climax of ruin, for it is destroy ing the brains of the people and reduc- ing their intellect to nothing, so that they cannot see the evils that are coming on them" The Gazette re- marks: "some persons will think, after reading this, that the clearness of vis~ ion vouchsafed by vegetarianism is not particularly remarkable"

yapo,eon,s Bad Temper.

The French commandant of town
 through which Lutzow had passed on
 his return journey to the Elbe had en-
 tertained him at dinner-as a matter of courtesy to a fellow soldier during an
 armistice. Napoleon heard of this, and
 immediately ordered him to Dresden,
 there to explain his conduct. The
 French commandant hurried to his
 master, and at once sought to justify
 himself by showing that Lutzow had
 acted in perfect accord with the rules
 of war. But Napoleon interrupted him
 with violence, and heaped upon him
 gross insults. He told him he should
 have seized Zee brigand Lutzow, chef du corps de Ia Vengeance" that he should at once have tried him for high way robbery, or, better still, ordered him shot at once without trial. The poor comnandant, who had done noth- ing but his duty as a soldier and a man of honor, sought in vain to justify him. self. But Napoleon was mad with an
 ger Lutzow at the moment seemed to
 have escaped him, and his Corsican love
 of vengeance clouded every other feel ing. Though his commandant was 1ec-
 orated with the Cross of the Legion of
 Honor, so furious was the emperor that. he snatched the epaulets from his
 shoulders and ordered him to Ego to the devil"
 This circumstance was related to I4Iit-
 zow by the French eommandant after the allies had entered Paris and Napo- leon had been removed to Elba. But Napoleon was still more angry when he heard that these Lutzow brig

 strations of sympathy after their cap ture by the troops of Alright He made

 Two days later the Corsican kinsman Alright announced that "the town of Leipzig has incurred the displeasure of his majesty the emperor to high de- gree, on account of the bad behavior in connection with recent military and po- | litical events. Therefore be it enacted | that whosoever shall show aversion to- wards the French, or incur their suspi- | clon for behavior towards their allies, shall be treated as traitor, be arrest | ed at once, and brought before the French military authorities for the se- verest punishment"

who, when they reached the head of navigation, unloaded the boats and car Tied the freight on their backs to Frank lin Gulch, Miller Creek and other places where the miners were at work, At the close of the season, when the cold wea- ther caused a cessation of work, the men went down to the village on the Yukon at the mouth of the Creek, where they remained In comparative idleness during the eight months winter Both the trader and the miners were. during the first five years of the camps exist ence, under the impression that not only the diggings, but the village also were in American territory, though they knew that the line could not be far to the eastward. It was not until 1888, when MT. Ogilvie, a surveyor in the service of the Dominion government, went over the Chilkoot Pass and made a series of observations in the vicinity of Forty-mile Creek, that the inhabi- tants learned that the diggings were on the American and the village on the CalA dian side of the line, The next year the United States Coast and Geo. detic survey sent to the Yukon two well equipped parties, one under MT. J. E. McGrath and the other under MT
 J. H. Turner whose work was to estab- fish stations on the Yukon and Porcu- pine rivers, and by series of accurate astronomical observations locate the exact point of intersection of the boun- diary meridian with these two streams, Of course these officers, representing as they did only one government. had no authority ito establish a boundary line. It was merely intended that their work should be preliminary to that of boundary commission whenever one should be appointed by the two govern melllts to delimit the line. MT. McGrath established his camp on the Yukon near Forty-m Creek, near the point where MT. Ogilvie had ascertained that the meridian intersects the river, and erect ed an observatory. A year of painstak
 ing work resulted in the location of stone monument on the bank of the river, which marks as nearly as cam be located the intersection of the boundary with the Yukon.

There seems to be general jubilee feeling throughout the country over the magnificent response of the American people to the call of the country for loan. The nation asked for one hundred millions; the people offered far more than half billion. And there's more to follow from the home market should Uncle sam need it. The response makes a gratifying chapter in the history Of our national finances, speaking as it does of the confidence of the American people in the republic, despite the mis- takes and errors that have made these loans necessary, and the clustering an- tics and belligerency of the silver men. This is a great country. It speaks well also to foreign nations, on whom the ob- vious lesson will not be lost. The grat- flying price obtained for the issue also tells its own story. Wall street was amazed at the size of the subscription. Everybody was surprised. Such an overwhelming subscription was wholly unexpected by the best judges of the sit uation. Press comments from various of the leading journals on the loans success are invariably jubilant. The New York Tribune remarks: 'The mag nificent success of the bond issue is ai once a scathing condemnation of the past, an impressive proof of the nations credit, and a convincing assurance for the future. The people make this an- swer, which will ring around the world, to all assaults upon the nations credit, whether by the President or by those silver men who have been conspiring to bankrupt the Government" The World says: "The public loan is bid for nearly six times over. The credit of the Government is maintained. The finan- eial independence of the nation is sue cessfully demonstrated. The confidence, the resources and the patriotism of the people are splendidly vindicated.' The
 
 World, it appears, is also among the prophets, for it adds: ''That which the World predicted and proclaimed has come to pass.'' The Times remarks: 'The bids of more than five times the loan asked for by the Government in or der to maintain the gold standard is the answer of the solid men of the country to the wild and malignant attacks of the silver men. That is the meaning of this really tremendous demonstra- ton, which the whole world will recog. nize" The Boston Herald remarks: '4,rEFle The public loan is a magnificent suc- cess" and ia glorious response to the bond call" The Mail and Express: MT. Cleveland is entitled to all the comfort he can extract from this imposing dem onstration of National solvency and pa triotisn;' New York Evening Post: SThe success of the new Government loan has surpassed the expectations of everybody, both in the amount offered and price obtained"

------------------ FASHION NOTES.
Three Sorts of Outdoor Garments.

A most useful garment for out doors over a street gown may be made of a flew odds and ends" From an old velvet skirt enough may be gotten to make a jacket that fits to the hips and is double breasted. Black astrakan goes very well in this way with velvet. A little frill of the astrakan makes the needed ripple skirt, and this is set on at the back and as far around as the nips. A coat collar of the astrakan that will turn up about the face and leave hand
 some revers in front completes the gar ment, though handsome buttons may be added. Such a jacket is dressy with

any skirt and may be worn over an old bodice with small sleeves. It is a good idea to have such a bodice for street wear under a jacket, for it really ruins a good bodice to be polSing it into the confines of a jacket all the time, to say nothing of the tee-total destruction of the attendant mans patience when he tries to be an obliging escort by tuck ing the sleeves in for you.
 Beauty is the chief recommendation of this pictured collarette which is more accessory than garment, and whose seant dimensions and large opening at the neck bid the cold air nip. It is of green velvet, heavily soutached, with velvet ribbon bows on each shoulder and with ehinchilla edging.
 A sensible and serviceable wrap is one that reaches from throat to heels. It is made almost scant, is fitted over the shoulders so there is no bulky full ness from heavy cloaking and must be of dark color. Over it comes a cape of the same material that reaches to the waist, and of as jaunty cut as you like. This is edged with fur and has a f1aring five point collar. Its neck band sets down snugly about the high close collar of the under garment. Big hooks and eyes serve to make the under gar ment and the cape one, but the over cape is useful for wear without tha long under part. A garment of this kind is useful in all weathers. Its cut permits it to do service when the skirt is to be protected, while it's dark color makes it entirely suitable for street use. The long under part renders the whole gar ment practically impervious to cold.

Sunday was Sir Frederick Leigh ton's day at home" says a writer in the Boston Transcript, land he used then to dispense tea in a delightful fashion 10 his many friends. As he greeted some of his friends at the door of his magnificent studio (the show studio of London) one Sunday afternoon the lat est rays of sunlight touched the wavy ses of his silver hair and caused his fine profile to stand out, cameo-like, against a background of rich, dark draperies He wore shabby, short coat of black velvet, and could not have looked more thoroughly the aristocrat had he been dressed to appear at court

In noticing the death the other day of Benjamin Liverman at the age of nine- ty-five years, the Minneapolis Tribune says: "Mr. Liverman was a great trav- eler in his younger days and rode over the earliest railroads in the world. He was also the first travelling man to go on the road in this country, going through the southern states for New York jewelry house. He went to California in 1851 on the same ship with Horace Greeley. They were quarantined at Panama for six weeks, when the rail- road was being built and MT. Liverman knew from his own observation the truth of the statement that every tie in that road cost a human life"

Her total output in 1895 was, it is said, $17,34O, ,4s5 against the output of $15,0O0000 in Cal ifornia. Even the silver production of Colorado, however, has not declined as was feared. It amounted last year to 14,259, ,049; and in addition the state turned out lead to the value of $2,955,- 114, copper to the value of sS77, ,492, coal to the value of $5, 800, 900 and iron worth $3 1S0,000.
