a Costly lmprovemeot.

A magnificent white funeral car is
the latest addition to the already COM
plete equipment of Fuller, the under
talker. The car came in Friday, hav-
ing occupied six months in construc-
tion. 1t was manufactured by the
Riddle Coach Co., of Ravena, and is up
to date in every particular. The body
of the car has the mose top with the
Corinthian columns at the corners, egg
shaped carving above and clover-leaf
below. 1t has handsomely engraved
inside rail and elegant inside trim
mings. The car is full size with image
lamps, and is superbly elegant at every
point. Mr.. Fuller evidently believes
in keeping up with the times.

Lands of rhe White Gar.

A large and appreciative audience at
Andrews Hall last night greeted Mr..
C. E. Bolton, of Cleveland, who deliv-
cred his illustrated lecture on Russia
and the Romanoffs." Mr.. Bolton said
in part that Russia was land of con-
slant geographical expansion; that the
flag of the White Czar float ted over one
seventh of, the earth's surface and gave
protection to eight distinct nationali-
ties, embracing nearly one hundred
millions of people.
Our citizens were taken to Odessa, on
the Black Sea, Russia's great wheat
port, thence to Moscow, the holy
mother city of the Empire. Here, as
in St. Petersburg, were seen wonder
full palaces, museums and monuments
Frequent mention was made of Ivan,
the TERRIBLE" and his unique church
was shown. The lecturers description
of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, the
burning of Moscow and his fatal re-
treat was very graphic. His views of
St Savior's church and St. Isaac's We're
also fine. The story of Peter, the Great,
and Catherine III gave color and great
| interest to the lecture and all in at,
tendance felt that Russians were not
pagans, but vigorous and very re-
ligious people. that they do nothing by
halves for either their church OF
country.
Mr.. Bolton thinks Russia and Ameri
ca the two great nations of the future
For a hundred years it has been the
dream of every Russian to subduc
Asia, conquer India and finally occupy
for their capital the Cradle of Ma
tions," Constantinople.
Mr. Bolton gives at 1880, standard
time, this evening his famous illus
trated lecture, LANDS of the Midnight
Sun, or Top of the Globe" brief o.
$50 polar expeditions. He will tel
yividly what has been done and what
remains to be accomplished about the

Rlser Man Shot.

EAST IIvERPooL, f., Feb. 21-Lee S.
Anshutz, pilot of the towboat Clipper,
shot and slightly wounded Captain Alb
ner Gould. OF the Raymond Homer yes
terday forenoon.
The Horner and Clipper were lying
at the bank here, and the two men,
with Charley Gould, captain of the
Clipper, became involved in row
which ended in the shooting.
Anshutz it is said, knocked Charley
Gould down with a poker, when
Gould's brother, Abner, interfered and
was shot. Anshutz was arrested.
The origin of the trouble was the al
legged crowdiug from the channel OF
the Clipper by the Horner, as the boats
with their tows of coal were preparing
to land here on account of the ice.

East Liverpool, Ohio, February 90
The workmen in the Irondale tin mill
to-day notified the proprietors, Wallace,
Banfield & Co., that they would not
submit to the proposed reduction of 10
per cent. The firm then gave notice
to the men that they would start up
next Monday at the old rates and fill
present orders, after which they will
shut the mill. The mill has been
stopped for two weeks, the firm claim
ing they cannot run with profit at
present rates of labor. IA reduction
was made in wages more, than a year
ago, when the mill was non-unionized,
and has been run non union since.

Years ago DR.. R. v. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y,
recognizing the fact that consumption was
essentially germ disease, and that ayrerl-
edy which would drive the germs and their
poisons from the blood would cure consump-
ton, at last found medicine which cured oS
per cent. Of all cases, if taken in the earlier
stages of the disease.
The tissues of the lungs being irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood circulat-
ing through thetn, the germs find lodgment
there, and the lungs begin to break down:
Soon the general health begins to fail, and
the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy
and confused.
This is the time to take Dr. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery; it drives the germs
and poisons from the blood and has sooth-
ing effect upon the dry cough. In cases of
bronchitis the " Discovery" is invaluable.

The dancers seen at Kambuidi's were
Bisa and Luangeni. There were four
drummers, and one old man with rat
ties, who gave a very picturesque per-
formances; the drummersh had small, bar
rel-shaped drums with frightened skin
at either end; the drums were sus-
pended by rope from the left shoulder.
The drummers played to any crude, un-
trained songs in splendid time, and
while playing and singing danced about
most gracefully, some steps resembling
closely the waltz. All wore long loin-
cloths Of bark, reaching from the waist
almost to the ground. They were won
derfully active, dancing and singing
vigorously, whirling round on one leg,
and squirting the ground with the other
foot; they sang, drummed and danced
in perfect time. The old man had two
r~attles, each composed of five small.
round, dried wild fruits with noisy, rat-
Ting seeds; these were threaded en-
brochette on thin sticks, one of which
the old "a held in each hand. and kept
time with the others, besides doing his
share of the dancing.-Journals of the

We are going to have another speak

days speaking. Tomorrow we have
the candidate for governor Of our state
Mr.. Seaborn Wright. He is a com
bined candidate Of the prohibition and
populist parties. I don't know which
wing of the prohibition party Nh.
Wright belongs to, for you know the
prohibition party split some weeks
ago-but they split like a hairpin, IL Is
together at one end. 1 am a prohibi-
zionist myself from snout to tail, but
I am not a populistic prohibitionist nor
a prohibitionist populist The two
parties have fused in my state, but they
are like oil and water-they only fuse
while you are stirring them. The most
unmix-togetheration thing in the uni-
verse is something else and populisn.
The specific gravity of populism is
such that it won't go to the bottom I'M
less you turn It bottom side up. 1t is
lighter than water and harder than
flint. But we have got them. They
are too good to be mean and too inno-
cent to be found guilty Of anything I'M
less we had the same jury that tried
9 Methodist preacher the other day for
using slang in his newspaper articles
such as raise the hide "a pint OF wa
ter on his coat-tail, . and writing against
the use of tobacco. They found him
guilty, too, and like Gallileo he had
to retract or Lose his official head. He
r~etracted and / suppose now instead Of
writing raise the hide" he win have
to write it "elevate the outside lining;"
instead of "a pint of water on his
coat-tail" he will have to put -four gifls
of aqua on his togus caboose;" and in
all future references tobacco must be
spoken of as an Indian plant.
The world do move! Men and
things will go to seed and the seed win
come up if they fall on the ground.
Nevertheless we will stick to the gold
standard until silver goes up or is
worth more than SO cents an ounce. I
wish all parties well.

portance. Over-ripe fruits are as bad
as under-ripe one How to distinguish
between them ZONES only with expert
enc and a desire to learn. Having Sc
cured those of good quality, it is in the
secondary art of serving that you can
prove yourself mistress of your menage.
Tt is an inviolate rule that all fresh
fruits are better for being cold. Water
melons, cantaloupes and grapes are not
fit to eat unless thoroughly chilled, and
all other sorts are improved quite 50
per cent. by standing in the refrigera-
tor a few hours before serving time. A
watermelon should be kept on ice at
least 10 hours before it is eaten, and ii
may be made 20 look its very best by
placing it ON a bed of grape, fig or null
berry leaves. To transform 1t into a
distinguished dessert, halve the melon,
remove as many of the seeds as practi-
cable, and pour a pint of champagne
into the holes left vacant; then fill them
with small bits of ice chopped to fit.
Pineapple should always be served in
a glass dish either cut in thin, round
slices, OF into cubes sprinkled with
sugar. One gill of white wine to a quart
of the fruit will improve it immensely.
Currants make an extremely pretty
effect if dipped in punches in the beaten
white Of an egg and then in sugar. Let
the coating get thoroughly dry before
serving.
Cordial of some kind is an excellent ac.
cessory to cut-up peaches, when cream
for one reason or another is objection
able. Remember always that if allowed
to stand after being pared they will
grow dark.
ANY good, firm berry or fruit served
with broken ice is most appetizing. To
arrange this properly fiji the center Of
q large glass dish with cracked ice; theI
lay fresh leaves around it, making a
handsome bed on which to place the
lunches or clusters.
Asouthern fashion Of serving bananas
maybe new to many housewives. Slice
a sufficient quantity of good, ripe ones;
sugar them slightly, deluge them with
whipped ream and sprinkle them with
a grating of nutmeg to taste.-N. Y,

impossible pleasant as are b golden
autumn glories among the stilled and
sleeping trees; cool as are the nights,
~exhilarating as are the days, cunningly
as the perfect roads tempt to wheeling
or driving OF the dry footpaths to wan-

would catch the spirit OF the modes to
avoid being in New York the last week
Of September.
OF course, the Openings are every
year more and more delayed in defer
ence to the lengthening of the summer
out Of town; of course, It is easy where
ever one may be to arrange with the
little birds that fly from Paris or Lon
don with messages of they are wear~

are splendid examples of "gowning''

and Lenox, but TO cIothe the skeleton Of
fact with the glowing hesh-ah. sight

1t is one thing to tell of the new
sleeve, it's shape and form, but quite
another TO see how the transition is
managed; by doubled shoulder capes Of
satin in self ~colors; by wreaths oftulle
or yelling hanging about the arm; by
little shoulder puffs which mark the
vanishing mode as the projections above
a horses hoofs retain the memory OF his
prehistoric toes.
1t is one thing to say that the
mode demands quiet tones and arrange
ments, but when one sees the g~littering
array of pretties in the shops it is time
to admit that the rigid resolution of
many women to adhere to the letter of
the law will be sorely tempted.
First of all, every woman at an 'open-
ing" will gravitate as rapidly as the
crowd will let her toward the cases
where the ducks of bonnets are dis
played. Flowers have almost vanished
from the trimmings of really smart bon
nets or at most T seen only under the
brim. Their place is taken by feathers
almost always as high plumes in the
place of honor and by braids, ribbons,
velvet, lace, and cut steel as accessories.

Many Of the seasons gowns 6Snploy q
double BASQUE skirt the upper Zap fall
ing over the lower, much as the two
lapels of a gown are often super
imposed. The bolero idea is charmingly
applied this season to lace. A jacket
shaped cloud of the 6lmy stuff thrown
about the armhcse of a street dress well
sets of and emphasizes a bodice fronto of
black chiffon plated over pink silk.
A somewhat similar idea can be car
ried out IN canvas and velvet, strips Of
the latter adorned with embroidery
running out upon the shoulders and
down the bust, curving under the arms
in genuine bolero style.
Have shot fabrics always impressed
you as an especially summary style?
They are holding their own wonderfully
well in the autumn costuming, but
must, / suppose, go the way of all
things.
Tea jackets and theater waists are
two little ideas worth looking up.
Either one, with a plain skirt, can be
made to serve the purpose of a special
gown. One tea jacket can be made eff
fective in white oriental satin with a
very broad corselet band Of black folded
satin. The topo + the jacket is Of white
satin, covered over with a frilI Of white
chiffon. The elbow sleeves are edged
with a turnback cuff Of black velvet
AS for tea gowns proper, this is the
time to order them, as the day Of the
afternoons cannot be much longer de-
layed. "A pretty teagown exhibited at
cne Of the openings commended itself to
me by its clever adaptation of the
newestformofthe new sleeve to an over
arching shoulder puff drawn up under
meath, so that the whole arm shows in
front and the whole puff from the side
or rear. AS for the material, silk and
chiffon, / suppose; 1 really don't re
member. But it had a fetching little
yoke of embroidery, and the cuffs had
great flares of futed lace.
There are bodices which employ
French cut steel, sewn all over in a spe.
cies of cuirass.
There is a new idea in cutting gown
at the hips, but none save a dressmaker
would understand it. Tn sure / don't,
There's a new fall cape, but Isuppose
