in which this exquisite Canton Grape Is
shown the pale rose and the silver gray are
the most beautiful.
Taffeta is now made for summer with
founces and festoons, puffs and ruff1es of
gauze, silk null and chiffon draperies.
The lighter materials are obtainable in all
the seasons colors, SO that trimmings
match in color, except when lace Is used.
Taffeta is pretty silk, snowy and crisp,
but its flrmness makes 1t not one suitable
for summer without the softening inf1u-
ence of some flmy stuff in some place
about It, The summer gown must be one
of three things-either rigid tailor gown
with all it's austere belongings, a dainty
common sense everyday frock Of some
strong and washable material or thing of
beauty and grace designed to force admira-
uon from every beholder. The wise maiden
has several of all three varieties. I think
there are no more foolish virgins nowadays.
None forgets to keep plenty Of oil on hand,
said oil consisting of enticing gowns and
enhancing hats. And they don't go to
sleep while there Is 8 chance for the BRIDE
groom to come. It doesn't matter whether
the wedding is to be their own or that of
their friend. They are ready and alert.
Linen, alpaca and mohair seem to be
competing for public favor, and it would
be difficult to tell which is liked most.
The alpaca can be plain everyday frock,
useful, and to be worn commonly, or 1t
can be handsome and even elegant gown,
Just as 1t is made and trimmed. Heavy
lace laid on in applique patterns is very
rich, and braiding is extremely handsome.
The mohair is so glossy that it requires a
little subduing when intended for hand
some costumes. For that purpose applique
in thick yak or venetian point has no
equal. Some like the bright and brilliant
effect, and such have GALLON, fancy but
tons and many other devices. Among
them is q zouave, bolero or figaro jacket
made Of velvet or velutina, studded with
jet beading or spangles. Some of these
have applique of white satin edged with
beads or gold braid. These sleeveless
jackets may be trimmed in almost any
style. Some have fringe Of gilt beads,
some have little gold grelots and others
have sequins, while quite as many are per-
fectly plain, These are very pretty and
useful to slip on in the evening when q lit
tie protection Is required on the shoulders

MUST MEET IT.

The Contest for the Republican
nomin4ti6h for governor il ever
shaaowing other political matters
in Minnesota just now, but the
Republicans Of this congressional
district will, soon be forced to meet
a question almost as important as
that. That question is the selec.
ton Of candidate for congress-.
G. A. Towne has left the party
because it would not follow him iii
his change to the. tree coinage
cause, and he will be an independ.
ent candidate for congress this
fall. It is doubtful if the Popu-
lists oppose his reelection, and he
has good chance Of securing the
free silver vote Of the district.
He IS very strong in Duluth and
hopes that the silver strength Of
the district and the local loyalty
of his section will give him
enough votes to elect him. The
Republicans had a large majority
in the district in 1894, but the de.
sertion Of their leader of that year
cannot fail to demoralize the party
to Some extent.
Until the governorship contest
is settled on July 1. the people Of
the district will give but little
thought to the congressional sit
uation, and then they will have
two weeks to consider the matter.
The congressional convention
meets at St. Cloud on July .16.
We. believe that any representa-
tive Republican in the Mississippi
valley .section could poll the Re.
publican vote Of the western part
of the district, but it is doubtful
if he could draw substantial vote
from the Duluth portion. Duluth
wants a congressman, and many
of her voters who oppose free sill.
yer would lose sig hit Of all political
issues and favor Duluth man.
A good Duluth Republican, run.
ming on the national Republican
platform, would securethe support
Of the loyal Republicans of the
western part Of the district, and
could also obtain the support in
Duluth that objects to free silver.
To make the issue between Towne,
of Duluth, and a western man
would give Towne the advantage
he hopes for. To place Towne
as free silverite against fellow
citizen of his own city, as staunch
Republican nominee, would so
shape the fight that the chances
would be largely in favor of the
success of the Republican candi-
date. =

FASHIONS OF NEW YORK
Mate Leroy Extols Japanese and
China Grape. ii
FAvoR1TE FABRICS FOR SUMMER.

copyright, 1906, by American Press Associa.
H. - ton. 49, So "
Among the very prettiest Of the materi-
ais offered for women's adornment and at
tire is the china Grape. It hangs so straight
and SO heavily for such fine stuff that it
gives artistic possibilities not to be found
In any other fabric. Next to that is the
japanese Grape The difference between
them Is that the Chinese goods have faint
but traceable crinkle, while the japanese is
smooth like nuns yelling or challie. Be-
ing SO soft and fine and SO very flexible,
and withal so heavy, it is an artists ideal.
The only difficulty is that it is expensive
in itself and it requires fine trimming and
fine work in the making of it up. All col
ors are displayed, the most delicate being
the prettiest. The pale green with old
point lace is dream of beauty when it is
made in the flowing folds and lines so suit
ed to its popularity of weave and worn by
mauve and amethyst and pale heliotrope
look we'll with heavy ecru point de venise,
with fancy jeweled buttons wherever they
will be most effective. Silver gray trim
med with, butter colored lace is delicate
and tasteful and can be worn by any one,
old or young, providing sufficient atten-
ton is paid to details such as adapt it to
different ages. For party dresses for little
girls more dainty and delicate material
could not be bought, and, in fact, have
seen two exquisite little frocks that are just
finished for the grand July garden party at
Saratoga. They are trimmed respectively
with little very fine oriental lace and a
little very handsome silver GALLON and
some floating ribbon bows.

Endurance of Man.

The question of the endurance of the
man of today is always anthropologic-
ally curious when compared with the
past. The general consensus of opinion
tends to the belief that the average
primitive man. as far as physique is
concerned, was not a whit better off
than is his descendant of today. Even
special traits may be denied to the first.
Environment. would, of course, have
made changes-adapted him to peculiar
climates. AS to the question of endur-
ance, Mr.. Caspar Whitney shows con-
vincingly that the white man was quite
the equal OF the Indian in the far north,
and that the white man could keep up
with the Indian in running and even
outpace him, and, besides that, could
bear privation and exposure to a terribly
low temperature, just as we'll as the In
dian. The white man had certain adj
vantages even, due to higher cerebral
development, such as will power. In
fact, Mr.. Whitney knew better how to
take care of himself and preserve his
vital force than did his redskin compan
ions. But there was one single advan-
tage the Cree or the half breed did pos
sess, and it was that from constant use
of the sole of the foot the epidermis of
the Indian was just there an inch thick.

Prolatas at Repartaa-

There was an amusing episode aft the
commencement exercises of the George
town university Archbishop RYAN of
Philadelphia delivered an eloquent adj
dress on civil and Religious Liberty.
AT it's conclusion Cardinal Gibbons was
asked to say few words The cardinal
expressed the pleasure with which he
had listened to the archbishop and then
recalled the famous will Of Stephen Gil
rard, the Philadelphia philanthropist.
who, in bequeathing the money for the
Girard institute, stipulated expressly
that no religious instruction should be
ever included in the curriculum. He
then passed on to Daniel Webster's
great speech on that will and added
that never since that speech had he
heard the subject treated in so mastery
a manner as it had been handled today
by the distinguished archbishop of Phil
adelphia. Indeed it was a striking CO.
incidence that not only did the two
speakers agree on many thoughts but
that in many instances the reverend
speaker today had made eloquent use of
identical language of his great prede-
cessor.

looked at Archbishop Ryan. The latter

speech to which the cardinal refers.

by Cardinal Gibbons himself on the
subject, and it is not impossible that I
was so carried away by the force and
beauty of his language that may have
unconsciously repeated his very words.

their own conclusions Then the audi

After meals you should have simply feel
ing of comfort and satisfaction. You should
not feel any special indications that diges-
tion is going on. If you do, you have ind1-
gestion, which means not-digestion. This
may be the beginning of so many dangerous
diseases, that it is best to take it in hand at
once and treat it with Shaker Digestive Cor
diul. For you know that indigestion makes
poison, which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps digestion
and cures Indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial does this by providing the digestive ma
terials in which the sick stomach is wanting.
It also tones up and strengthens the diges-

The Only Colonization Is the English


Colonization and territorial extension
are burdens. not gains. Great civilized
states cannot avoid these burdens. They
are the penalty of greatness because they
are the duties of it. No state can sue
cessfully undertake to extend its juris-
diction unless it's internal vitality is
high, SO that it has surplus energy to
dispose of. Russia is a state which has
taken upon itself tasks of this kind be-
yond its strength and for which it is in
no way competent. Italy offers at this
moment the strongest instance of a state
which is imperiling its domestic well
fare for colonial policy which is be-
yond its strength, is undertaken arbitra-
rily and has no proper motive. Germany
has taken up a colonial policy with
great eagerness, apparently from no
tion that it is one of the attributes of a
great state. To maintain it she must
add great navy to her great military
establishment and increase the burdens
of a population which is poor and heav-
lily taxed and which has not in it's terri
tory any great natural resources from
which to draw the strength to bear it's
burdens.

An Arctic Night.

Early one morning, after vain1y en-
deavoring to sleep, went outside. The
stars were shining in a sky of dark, rich
purple Tightening to yellowish tone
on the northern horizon; the vast desert
was a great mass of delicate lilac and
green, and the igloo a brighter note of
the same color. The dogs, curled up IN
balls and almost covered by the snow,
were SO many black spots. The wind
blew shrill and chill, and the snow
Etreamed and eddied in long wells over
the lonely desert The tents tapped like
great birds alighting, and the wind
gage kept up monotonous tap, tap, tap

suppose that SO many have been
turning their thoughts towards
Washington 1916" during these days
that they have not had time to report
much news from the different socie-
ties. We trust that this department.
will now take new lease of life and
that we shall be helpful and help each
other. One of our correspondents
finds fault with myself because news
has been sent several times that has
not appeared in the papers, but was
there not cause? fear that one cor
respondents news items would have
looked decidedly lonesome, but it is
some qualification to be aware of the
interest that at least one society takes
in this department.

kins, president; Mrs. Ella JENNIE, vice
president; Mrs. Clara Searles, Sec.

Perkins; Treas, Lottie Perkins.
The Barton Society hrs been hold
ing meetings on Sabbath afternoons
at the town farm; one was held June
2Sth, subject, "The Joy of Christian
Living" They held short song
service and gave opportunity for per-
sonal testimony, quite number re-
spending. The society has sent Fl. Fl.
Person to Washington to attend the
convention. They report the average
attendance for the month Of June at
their prayer meetings as thirty six,

THE TIDE TURNING.

Since it has become practically GER
tain that free silver man would be
nominated for president upon free
silver platform at Chicago last week
a number of prominent democrats in
different parts of the East had an
nounced their determination to vote
for Mckinley and sound money, and
the list includes not few who have
served as leaders Of the party in their
respective localities.
One of the most important Access
sions to the republican ranks from
the opposition, however, is that of
Col. Mcclure, the able and influential
editor of the Philadelphia Times, who
has been loyal supporter of Presi-
dent Cleveland and has done good
work in the democratic cause. Col.
Mcclure is moderate tariff man, but
he holds sound money to be the para
mount issue this year and he speaks
of Mai. Mckinley as follows:
ssUnless some other hopeful party
shall present better candidate with
better political environment, and on
platform as distinctly for honest
money as is that of ST. Louis, this
journal will earnestly support McKin-
ley for president and sincerely rejoice
at his election"
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1896-07-20

Mr.. Hobart's speech in acceptance
of the Republican vice presidential
nomination is of nature to be emin-
emily satisfactory to the party which
has selected him to stand shoulder to
with Major Mckinley. His words are
straight to the point and capable of
but one Interpretation. His declara-
ton for sound money is incisive and
clear, and cannot be misunderstood.
When he says that "an honest dollar,
worth 100 cents everywhere, cannot
be coined out of fifty three cents
worth of silver, plus legislative
fiat,' he states the position of the Re-
publican party with absolute exact
ness. "Such a debasement of our
currency he says, .swould inevitably
produce incalculable loss, appalling
disaster and national dishonor" 1t
is to this end that the Democratic
majority in Chicago are laboring.
Mr.. Hobart but voices a prevailing
sentiment when he says, in speaking
of the tariff issue, that what is need
ed most of all to remove the business
paralysis that afflicts the country is
the restoration of the benefcent in
fuences of the protective system. Mr..
Hobart is clear headed and strong
voiced, and his sturdy utterances can
not but lend strength to the general
confidence in Republican principles
and practices.-IrdUeler.
