TIE SCHOOL MEETING.

Go to the meeting at Harmonic Hall tomorrow evening, which is to be held ticket There ought to be at least as many people there from each ward in the city as there would be if the meet ing were a regular nominating conven- tion to which delegates had been elect ed Elect yourself delegate and go and help make up a good ticket Then you will not have to talk about star chambers rings" etc, and blame other people for doing duty which be- longs to you as much as to them.

shade darker than the stuff itself, or with contrasting black the general effect is almost as pretty as silk, and since mohair will wash and does not fray like silk the former petticoat will hold it's prettiness. Billiard green, sil- yer gray, striped and dresden effects, black, white, blue and pink, will all be offered.
 This cheapening of quality will not at first bring corresponding reduc- tion in outlay though that will come later if these petticoats win general ac- ceptance. No general tendency toward economy can be reported inside dress skirts, and outside the leaning is in fa- vor of showiness. Skirts are being trimmed more and more. Few have any great amount of trimming, but a great many have just enough to mark them as departure from the late la mented plain skirt All that is needed to do this was put upon this pictured skirt, and consisted of fancy stitching on either side of the front panel and around the hem, supplemented by de- sign of rich applique embroidery at the panels right lower corner The goods of this dress was a leaf brown suiting. it's jacket bodice opened over an en- broidered satin vest, and embroidery was freely employed on collar, front and sleeves. The latter fastened with buttons at the wrist. FLORETTE.

COLD GOOD ENOUGH FoR HARpEY

W. H. Harvey, the champion of free silver and the author of Coins Finan- cial SchooP' is by no means a financial fool so far as his own interests are
 concerned. He showed this the other day when he went to the Metropolitan National bank in Chicago, where he is
 a regular depositor, and demanded his full deposit in gold. He was finally
 given $2,500 in gold, and he took the gold to the safe deposit department of the bank and locked 1t up in his strong box. If free silver succeeds he means to have some money whose value he can rely on. It is all right for him and Stewart and Altgeld to talk and
 write silver, but they like gold as we'll as any goldbug. And in liking it they show more sense than they do in their talk and their writing about silver AS for consistency they don't mind a lit tie thing like that.

COUNTING IN MAINE.

Counting chickens before they are
 matched is considered unsafe business,
 but one needn't wait until the chick ems are clear out of the eggs before counting them. The condition of the
 political eggs in Maine is such that
 many of the chickens can already be seen and the counting has begun One
 of the counters is Joseph H. Manley,
 chairman of the Republican State com mittee. By his direction a house to house canvass has been made in every city and town in the State and yester- day he said that he was confident of an overwhelming Republican triumph next Monday. He has had the canvass | made on the supposition that each par ty will get out it's full vote. Two years ago exceptional circumstances led to a Republican majority of nearly 5000. "It must not be expected" says MT. l Manley, that the figures of two years
 ago can be repeated. Anything over | 20, 900 will be a great Republican vic- | tory. The failure of the silver cam | paign is already assured, and the cur-
 rent Is strongly in favor of the Repub- | licans."
 | This seems to be entirely safe count 1 ing. And it is probable that there will
 be more chickens matched than are now | plain to Mr. Manley's cautious eye A
 member of the Democratic State com-
 mittee is reported as saying that the
 Republicans will have from 30000 to | 10000 majority.

Captain Renaud, who makes for the French government at Mendon experi- ments in balloon construction, is not sangIine about the proposed balloon journey to the North Pole. The dan gers, he says, are endless. Cold is one; the freezing of the damp absorbed by the stuff of the balloon Is another. The worst is the sea that must be crossed. Most balloonists who lave been above the sea can speak of the vertigo 1t causes. Captain Renaud sometimes experiments with captive aerostats ca bled to warships. They are mounted by specially trained men. Neverthe- less, these aeronauts come down in an exhausted condition. It is not the hard ship that affects them, but the shock at finding themselves suspended be- tween sky and sea. There Is terrible impulse to jump out. An officer chos- en for hallooning duty spoke of that impulse being nearly irresistible. The vertigo did not cease until he came down.

 His mind seems to run to hogs. It has run that way before. In his Chicago speech he again brought in his favorite hog illustration, as follows: I was passing through Iowa few days ago and. got all idea from some hogs.
 Laughter) An idea is the most i'm portant thing that person can get into his head, and we gather our ideas from every source. Riding along in the cars I noticed a number of hogs roofing in a field and tearing up the ground. The first thought that came to me was that they were destroying a good deal of property, and that car ried me back to the time when I lived on the farm, and I remembered that we had rings in the noses of our hogs. And why? Not to keep the hogs from getting fat, for we were more interest," ed in their setting fatter than they

FASHION NOTES.
A Substitute for silk.

Mohair petticoats are to be offered in bright colors, making an excellent sub stitute for silk. These garments will be finished with the same care be- slowed on silk, and may be worn when ever silk could, Are they quite as nice? Well, there is the crinkle an1 crunch of silk to be considered, and for the sake of that magic accompaniment of crushy frou-frou to our movements women will pay if they can, and wear a material that is short-lived at best. Still some wise ones will go in for mo- hair petticoats and content themselves with one silk one. For street wear and with tailor dresses surely the mohair is the better selection.

Another great man is on the way to the United States. He is Prince khil-
 koff, imperial minister of ways and
 communication, the builder of the Trans Siberian railroad and man who prepared himself for usefulness by im-
 itating Peter the Great. Years ago Prince Khilkoff learned the black smiths and machinist's trades in the United States. He became an adept in the making of boilers and building of locomotives and is able to repair or run a locomotive as occasion may require. His practical knowledge has been of immense advantage to the czar, who has made use of it by giving the prince large powers. He now begins his trav- els around the world to observe har- bors, bridges, railroad crossings and all the devices employed to aid commerce.

One man in England got ahead of Li Hung Chang. When he was in London, Sir Andrew Noble, of the Elswick firm, anticipated his questions, and had pre- pared an elegant programme card, stat ing that the firm gave employment to 19,Oo0 persons, paid s75o0, GOO per annuIn in wages, that there were 1900 guns in course of construction, and fourteen war vessels in various stages of con- pletion. In addition he was told that the 12,200-ton arnor-clad battleship, nearly completed, would cost about &1,000,000. that her thickest plate was eighteen inches of Harveyized metal, and that if His Excellency said the word the vessel would be duplicated for him in less than two and half years.

 Paul Brown, MT. Hazelhurst and Mir. Armstrong. All these gentlemen were leaders of the Philadelphia bar There was little contention regarding the facts; but when it came to the applica- bility of the law there was a battle royal This involved a legal settlement of the old question, dear to the ethical heart, of two men on plank which is capable of sustaining only one; and, though diverted to the side issue of the duties of common carriers, still result ed in the most direct adjudication ex- isting as to their rights and obliga- tions
 MT. Dallas argued for the prosecu- tion as follows: While the manslaught- CT with which Holmes was charged was unlawful rather than malicious, the only defence to 1t could be the supreme necessity of self-preservation. To con- stitute this, in legal sufficiency, the danger must be instant, oyerwhelm- ing, leaving no choice of means no moment of deliberation. Such was not the present case. What law" he ask ed, gives crew to be the arbiters of life and death? No, we protest against giving to our seamen the power to thus make jettison of human beings. If they believed that the ultimate safety of a portion was to be advanced by the sac- rifice of another portion, it was ther their duty to give notice to all or board and have a common settlement made"
 Such a course, MT. Dallas next con- tended, would be equable were sailors and passengers in equal relation; but he denied the premise. "The seaman is bound beyond the passenger" he as-
