dimes and quarter or so for "car fare" also, maybe, a gold two and a. half in case you should want to pick up a bunch of violets or so on the way to a reception, though 1t is not strictly good form to engagein any mercantile trans actions of any kind when you are out of a tailor made street rig. All of which Is amusing to the woman whose great ambition is to own a silk lined tailor made. Would she think it neces- sary to do 1t to her marketing? We'll, hardly! Women that can afford such notions may entertain themselves by inventing them and living up to them, but for ordinary folk they don't count much. From the above, worried bank cashiers can perhaps understand why their women customers are forever handing good money through the win dow and demanding a nice new bil' in exchange
 For the tailor rig that is to satisfy that ambition of long standing, an ex- yellent model is pictured here Con- sisting of full skirt and fitted jacket bodice, it is suitable for serge or almost any of the novelty suitihgs Its bodice had a tiny basque that fitted smoothly all round, fastened with passementerie buttons and was prettily trimmed with soutache braid along the edges in front and over the darts Revers and turned down collar were ornamented, but the sleeves remained plain. A starched chemisette and tie completed the gown.

w. B.

Turkeys bred an poultry yards and coddled from the time they are matched. 8 plan English anen follow, will always have crooked Breasts and meat that lacks the deli cate flavor which is characteristic Of the Rhode Island bird.

ITALIAN EMIGRATION.

Half of all the immigrants who were refused admission to this country last year were Italians. This fact shows that there is need of a change in the conditions under which Italians are all lowed to start for this country. The Italian government has announced that there is to be Q change. An attempt is to be made to supervise and regulate emigration in such a way that only those who may fairly be expected to be- come useful citizens of this country shall be allowed to depart for 1t. The proclamation which has been made is based on a series of conferences with a representative of this government, who was sent over by special request to ex- plain the operation of the immigrat ton laws of the United States. This was Commissioner Strump, who was detail- ed by Secretary Carlisle for the pur- pose. Tn Rome he spent several weeks his intention of improving tk<a class of emigrants to America, and who in the proclamation now issued has made it difficult for ignorant or criminal sub jects of his government to throw them selves into New York, as many of them have done.
 Under the terms of the proclamation each departing emigrant will be pro-

! last named. He said he was very
positive that the question of finance
and tariff would be settled by the re-
publican party alone. Mr.. Baker IS
not great orator, but he seems to
have supply of hard, horse sense
that is likely to be beneficial to Kan
sas and to the republican party during
| his Senatorial term.
| 1t is now practically certain that the
House committee on Foreign Affairs
will report a resolution censuring
Ambassador Bayard for those anti
American speeches he made. SO
much has been agreed to by the sub
committee consisting of Draper, of
Mass, Pearson of N. c., and Dens-
more, of Ark, to which the matter
was referred. It would be very easy
for the republicans on the committee
to get any sort of resolution passed
by the House that they might choose
to report, even to the extent of re-
commencing Bayard's recall; but as
they wish the matter to be shOrn of
all partisanship by having the resolu-
ton reported unanimously from the
committee, the resolution to be re-
ported will be merely one of censure
and so worded that it will be support
ed by the democratic members of the
committee, who agree with their re-
publican colleagues in believing that
Bayard deserves to be censured.
The career of Representative and
Senator elect Money, of Miss, as

ing picture of the ups and downs of

his name at any rate-made his debut
in National politics as Representative
of the fourth Mississippi District in
the forty fourth Congress. He re-
NAMED in the House until the close of
the forty eighth Congress. Then he
became a cheap Congressional lobby
list, and remained such-his appear
ance Indicated that he had a hard
time too-until he succeeded in get
ting himself elected to the fifty third
Congress from the same old district.
He was reelected to the present
House, and last week was elected for
a full term in the Senate, beginning
the day his term in the House expires
March 4, 1897. There is more than

managed to get up again after his first

WASHINGTON LETTER.
,oIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR

.l-ac Washington, Jan. 81, 1896.
Senator Allison has returned from
Iowa and is receiving the cOngratula-
tions of his friends and colleagues on
his reelection to the Senate just as
modestly as he will receive them af-
| he be fortunate enough to capture
| the prize of the Republican Presiden-
| tial nomination. That modest way of
wearing his honors is one of the many
reasons why almost everybody likes
Senator Allison, but it is also a source
of weakness to him as candidate for
the Presidential nomination, because
it causes some people to think that he
lacks aggressiveness.
Strange to say Gen. Harrison's Wis
it to Washington was not followed by
a food of Presidential talk. One
reason for this somewhat unusual ex-
ception was that Gen. Harrison him
self positively declined to discuss the
subject, saying that he was for the
time out of politics.
In, adopting that Armenian resolu-
ton the Senate gave the world to un-
derstand that Congress is willing to
go to any length in supporting the
president in protecting American cit
liens in foreign countries.
A lot of tomfoolery has been widely
circulated concerning the opposition
in the Senate to the Davis Monroe
doctrine resolution which was last
week reported to the Senate from the
Committee on Foreign Relations. 1t
can be stated upon the authority of
Senator Lodge, of Mass, who has
made careful canvass of the Senate,
that the resolution will be adopted,
and that at the outside there will not
be more than eight votes cast against
it in the Senate. 1t may not be voted
upon for two weeks yet, as many SEN
ators wish to make speeches upon it,
and the free coinage substitute for
the House bond bill is still taking up
the greater portion of the time of the
Senate. But that bill will, it is ex
pected, be disposed of this week, and
then there will be a clear deck for the
Monroe doctrine speeches, and for
Senator Davis to press his resolution
to vote.
Senator Baker, of Kansas, made a
good impression with his speech in
favor of the coinage of the American
product of silver, in accordance with
his amendment to the free coinage
substitute for the House bond bill,
which is now before the Senate. He
divided the money ranks iuto three
classes, gold rnonometallists, silver
monometallists and bimetallists, aud

THE LONGEVITY OF THE SIGNERS
TO THE DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE, 1776.

AS body of men, they were fifty
six in number, and the average length
of their lives was about sixty five
years. Four of the number attained
to the age of ninetysix years and
upwards; fourteen exceeded eighty
years, and twenty three reached three
score years and ten. The longevity
of the New England delegation was
still more remarkable. Their number
was fourteen, the average of whose
lives was seventy five years. All but
one died a natural death; this was
Button Gwinnett. A bitter animosity
had long prevailed between him and
General Mcintosh, which continued to
gather strength, until Mr.. Gwinnett,
unmindful of the high offices he had
held, of his obligations to society, and
of his paramount obligations to the
Author of his being, presented chal-
lenge to Gen. Mcintosh. They fought
at the distance Of twelve feet. Both
were severely wounded. The wound
of MIR. Gwinnett proved mortal, and
on the 9th of May, 1877, in the forty
fifth year of his age, he expired.
Thus fell one of the patriots of the
revolution, and though entitled to the
gratitude of his country for the SER
vices he rendered her, her citizens
will ever lament that he fell a victim
to ambition, and to false sense Of
honor. He was one of the three of the
Georgia delegation. Charles Carroll
of Carrollton was the last survivor Of
that heroic band. He died at the ad-
vanced age Of nearly ninety four
years. Few men had more at stake in
respect to property than Mr.. Carroll,
he being considered the richest man
in the colonies; but wealth was of
secondary Importance to him in COM
parison with the rights and liberties
of his country. When asked to annex
his name, he replied, "most willingly"
and Selling pen instantly subscribed
s'to this record of glory" "There go
a few thousands" said some one who
watched the pen as it traced the name
of ssCharles Carroll of Carrollton' on
the parchment. Thousands would,
indeed, have gone, had not success
crowned the American arms in the
long fought contest. Who will affirm
that the unusual age to which the
signers, as body, attained, was not
a reward bestowed upon them for
their fidelity to their country, and the
trust which they in general reposed in
the overriding providence of God2
Who can doubt the kindness of that
providence to the American people,
in thus prolonging the lives of these
men till the principles for which they
had commended through long series
of years, had been acknowledged, and
government had been founded upon
them? This venerable body have long
since passed away. They are no more,
as in 1916, bold and fearless advocates
of independence. They are dead, but
