EASTER EGG DECORATION.

Now again does the Easter egg loom
up in ell its Importance. To prepare
the egg for decoration either boilit very
hard or make small hole at each end
and blow out the contents. The SIM
plest manner of decorating is to color
with aniline dies, by means Of which
any shade may be obtained. These
may be ilrther beaut;fied by etching
with sharp pointed knife the mono
gram of the recipient, vines, simple out
line figures, etc.
More beautiful in effect and quite as
easily prepared are the eggs coated
with metallic paint which eau be pro-
cured in gold, silver, copper, bronze,
etc. Nothing 10 this line is more dainty
than frosted" egg. A coat of dam
mar varnisn is first applied, and before
being allowed to dry it is thoroughly
sprinkled with diamond dust.
Eggs may also be prettily embelish
elk with decalcomauia pictUres finished
with coat OF dammar varnish, or small
landscapes and flower sprays may be
hand-painted.
Another charming fancy is to inscribe
an Easter wish or verse on delicately-
tinted egg. This is done with metallic
paint applied with fine camel's-hair
brush. 1t may be more quickly done
with Sub pen and India ink, but the
result will not be SO effective To one
e of the egg glue frinSed cap OF
tinsel paper, to which has been fastened
bow and loop ofribbons for hanging.
If they can be procured, goose, tur.
key and pigeon eggs afford a pleasing
variety with the ordinary hen or "rab-
bit" eggs, which the little ones particu-
larly delight in finding on Easter moin
ing.
In preparing the egg shells for decor
ating by blowing out the contents it
VII not be necessary to follow the old
process of scratching a hole in each.end
of the shell with pin. Take some
sharp instrument like the point of q
small pair OF scissors, hold it ageinst the
shell where the hole is to be made and
give it slight, quick rap against the
table, and ii will make tiny hole with
out cracking the surrounding surface Of

AN EXTRAORDINARY SPECTACLE.
The Queer Individuals of the Fau-
bOurg MOntmartre.

I0c queer lh01V1Ouals OF tn0 CoU.
bourg MOntmartre.
From the London Telegraph.
Quite extraordinary was the spectacle
presented by an individual who was no
ticed by the police strolling along the
Faubourg Montmartre, followed by be-
wildered crowd. His head was covered
with a queerly-shaped hat, embellished
with an enormous plume. Black pantaloons
decidedly the worse for wear. set off the
symmetry of his legs. and his feet were
shod with a pair of lacerated boots. But
it was his body which attracted the most
attention. Shirtless and coatless, it was
nevertheless adorned with a couple OF
cardboard plates, the one arranged over
the chest, while the other hung down the
back, both being kept in their places by
means of twine. On the breastplate were
to be seen ornate portraits of the Tzar and
the sultan, while on the other cardboard
was proclamation, in big letters, to the
effect that a victim of the infamy commit
ted by functionaries demanded justice of
the czar. In his right hand this odd crea-
ture brandished a portrait of NJ. Felix
Faure. Naturally, the police displayed
some interest in this Individual. whom they
marched off to the nearest station, where
he unfolded his tale. He asserted that he
had been deprived of 3.00O,000f by the Rus
sian consul at constantinople, and wanted
redress. An investigation soon revealed the
fact that this was the identical Calphas
who had twice attempted to commit sui
eide in the Russian church in order to
draw attention to his case He said that
he would be content to waive his claim to
the 3,0O0OOOf if he could receive 3.01Of
down, but instead of this he has been pro-
vided with a temporary lodging at the in
firmary of the depot. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that his alleged i'll treatment
at the hands of the Russian consul on the
shores of the Bosphorus exists only in his
rather too lively and original imagination.

WATsoN'S KANSAS TOUR.
ming to Get the Greatest
Good Out OF 1t.

Topeka. Kas., Oct. S.-(Special.) Abe
Steinberger, secretary of the middle-of-the-
road Populists' state committee, said to-
Tom Watson further than what had been
published. but he confidently expected the
Popuist vice presidential nominee to fill
his dates in Kansas. I'VE want to make
the most out of his visits" said he. "lf
We can raise sufficient funds, we will hire
a special train, so that Watson can speak
from the back end of the train at all of
the little stations through which he passes
en- route to the cities where his four large
meetings will be held"
The following appeal was issued to the
middle-of-the-road Populists to-day:
ITO the Middle-of- the Road Populists OF
Kansas:-The struggles that are being
made by the POpulists of Kansas to retain
the organization Of the party and to bear
the banner of revolt against the sell-out
at Abilene to the Democrats is no summer
picnic, filed alone with sunshine and per-
fumes. Mr.. Watson, our only nominee for
a national office, who is a Populist, will
return to Kansas on the 10th for four
days. He will come to talk Populism. We
are desirous of giving as many people as
possible an opportunity to hear him. and
to do this the most efficient way is TO
secure car and engine and cover the
state as extensively as possible, during
his stay. In order to meet this expense,
we appeal to the middle-of-the-road Pop
ulists of Kansas to send us small contribu-
tions. whatever they can afford. This is
the first appeal We have made for a popu-
lar contribution. but We are making the
best possible campaign without embarrass-
ing our struggling people. Mail all con-
tributions to ]. F. Willis, Topeka, kaS."

SOME WILL BE TOO LATE.
The Parties fn Missouri Very Slow in
Filing Their Various Tickets
at Jefferson City.

jefferson City, Mo-, Oct s.-(Special0 The
only state and electoral ticket filed with
the secretary of state is that of the Re
publican party. The Republicans have not
FLED for the Eighth congressional district
nor for the Thirteenth and Seventeenth
senatorial districts. The Democrats have
not filed state or electoral tickets, nor for
the Tenth congressional district, nor for
the First, Seventeenth and Twenty-fifth
senatorial districts. The Peoples party
have not filed state and electoral tickets,
nor for either of the judges of the courts
of appeals. nor for the Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh. Eighth, Ninth and Tenth congress
sional districts, and have only filed GER
tificates for the First, Nineteenth and
Twenty-frst senatorial districts. The Pro-
hibitionists have filed nothing. They under
took 10 file an electoral and state ticket
under the caption of National Party
which was refused by Secretary Lesueur
because the name did not indicate the polit
ical character of the ticket, as required by
the Australian ballot law.
The Palmer and Buckner National
Democracy have made no effort to file
their tickets. The same can be said of
the Socialist-Labor party. The last day for
filing is Wednesday, October II. In view
of the fact that many certificates are
necessarily returned for correction, it is
evident that late irregular filings cannot
get back to the secretary of state in the
time limited by law.

THE RESULT IN GEORGIA.
Atkinson's Majority in the NeiEhbor-
hood of :s5,OOO-Other Demo-
cratic MajOrities Digger.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. S.-Advlces received by
the Journal up to midnight from combined
official and unofficial sources fix the total
Democratic majority at 36.l29 This esti-
mate is based on the vote for Atkinson for
governor. which is in many cases less than
that cast for the other state officials. 1t
is not believed the final returns will ma
terally alter this estimate. The legisla-
ture is almost so!diy Democratic in both
branches, insuring practically the unani-
nous election of eX-Speaker Crisp to the
senate to succeed Senator Gordon.

Chairman BabcOck Claims That the
Next Congress- Will he Safe
ly Republican.

Washington, Oct. s.-Chairman Babcock,
of The Republican congressional committee,
fo-6av issued a statement based on de-
tailed reports. claiming the next house of
representatives as Republican by at least
e majority. He said: THE committee has

all of the congressional districts, and while
there are quite a number of districts that
cannot be determined upon at present, ow
ing TO various causes. some with two can

fusion has not BEEN settled, and others
where nominations have not been COM
pleted, we have sufficient data TO warrant

elect members who are pledged to sound
money from 1si districts without any ques-
Tior. These districts 1 consider absolutely
certain, and in addition TO these there are
about fiity more than can be classed as
doubtful, with the probabilities that the
majority of them will elect Republicans.

WHO DAuBED Mr.. FOSTER?
He Evidently Had Three Fingers i"r
That Number of Streaks ON HIS
CheeE-FlOur In His Hair.

The man who daubed paint on ex-Gov-
ernor Fosters face last night had only
three fingers on his right hand. A person
didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes TO
know that, for there were only three shiny
black streaks across his cheek. where, un-
der normal conditions there should have
been four. There is nothing further. how
ever, by which the wretch can be identi-
fed. The occupants of the carriage did
not catch a fair glimpse of him because,
after applying the handful of paint. he dis
appeared in the crowd. The man who
threw the flour in the governors hair is
also unknown, and it is probable neither
will ever be brought to justice.
Thus decorated with asphaltum roof
paint and besprinkled with Xxx roller
flour, the eX-congressman. ex-governor of
Ohio and ex-secretary of the United States
treasury sought his room in the Coates
House last night after speaking in Turner
hall. He was not in a good humor. The
first thing he did after reaching parlor =
was to send down to the office after ben
zine ammonia. gasoline or anything else
the clerk might have that would remove
tar from the human face. While waiting
for the liquid to come. the governor said:
II don't know what to make of your So

of promiscuous proceeding, with no head
nor tail TO it. 1 understand that on-what
do YOU call it?-on Karnival krewe day
you don't arrest anyone here for anything
short of murder. Is that right?
"Yes. speaking of politics. l think Mis-

Encournxin. to sound Money.
I'm the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
Both Bryan and Watson have just made
statements which are full of encourage
ment to the sound money men. Bryan says
that there is no truth in the rumors of his
failing health and that he expects to keep
up this fight just as l have been keeping
it up until the day of election Watson
says there is no truth in the rumors of
his withdrawal, and that he will remain
on the ticket till the last ballot Is cast"
No other agency-we might almost say not
ali other agencies together-have done SO
much to defeat Bryan as his own demon
stration. to people who had not heard of
him before his nomination, that he is ut
terly unfit for the office to which he as
pires. No other agency has done so much
to expose the humbug and fraud of the
Democratic-Populist fusion as the candi-
date of the Populist party for vice presi-
dent. 1t is the best possible news that
neither Bryan nor Watson will relax ef-
forts which doing much to insure
