lace over blue silk. The tight-fittine
lower sleeves are Of the blue silk, with
green upper sleeves Of muslin pulled
loosely. The skirt trimming Is very
new. 1t consists of two pipings Of blue
silk down each seam, finishing about
eight inches from the foot, where each
set of pipings is concluded with large
rosette of blue ribbon, in turn holding
a bunch of creamy lace. An old-fash-
toned, box-plaited ruche is arranged in
a wavy line between the rosettes. To
finish the gown blue ribbon is encircled
about the waist, and green muslin hat
with q bunch of bluies. At last Is the
pointed shoe losing favor and medium
toe should now be selected. 1t will

Bankers, more than any other class OF
business men, have a holy horror oil
dead capital" and that Is exactly
what Mr.. Smiths $4,000 worth Of gold
bullion would be. More than that he
would know at once that the prem
ium' on his gold would never be high
err than it was when the silver policy
of the government was first adopted
but, on the contrary, must steadily
and rapidly fall as the people realized
that 1t was not needed in their kusl-
ness. What would follow? AS natur-
ally as day follows night and har vcst
follows seed-time 1t follows that Mr.
Smith, even while publicly grittirg his
teeth and bewailing "cheap money
would secretly be looking for the best
market in which to dispose Of his
dead capital" And when he mad dis
posed of it. at the premium supposed
above, instead of having 10000 gold
dollars or $4,000 worth of gold bullion
he would have $4,000 in live capital
to use in his business, and his cur
rency, instead of being contracted,
would be expanded to the extent of
$4,000.
But perhaps some reader may not
understand how this valuable" gold
money could ever become dead capt.
tai" and would like to have that point
further explained. Dead capital" is
the term usually applied to property
which pays no income. Mr.. Smiths
$4,000 in gold would pay no income
because he couldn't afford to lend 1t
to Tom. Dick and Harry at the usual
banking rate of interest and Tom,
Dick and Harry could not afford to
pay any higher rate of interest for The
gold money than for silver money be-
cause they could not use it in their
business so as to recoup themselves for
the excess. One Of Mr.. Smiths $40
gold pieces wouldn't buy an ounce
more of sugar, coffee, or tea or a yard
more Of calico, muslin or denims, or
pay cent more of debt than ten silver
dollars would Hence it follows that

dead" from sheer excess of 'fat,"
as it were. Their blood would be too
rich" to mingle with that of proletar-
lat silver, and however aristocratic
and exclusive the banker himself may
be you can rest assured that the IDOL
lar he is after is the one that is not
too aristocratic to circulate among the
plebian producers. For this reason
Mr.. Smith would convert his dead bull
lion into live money as speedily as
possible.
If the S60O,OOO,OOO worth of gold said
to be in circulation in this country
could be disposed OF on the came
terms, instead of it's disappearance

New York, Aug. Ex-senator Sher-

"The only way in which republican
administration can control the evils OF
the past is by increasing the revenues

not practicable.
Senator Sherman was asked by tele-
graph if he made this statement, and
to explain more fully his meaning. He
sent the following dispatch to the Ad-
vertiser in reply:

PRINCE OF NAPLES.


Turks continued for more than a cen.
fury, the deadly hatred Of Montene-
gro's arch enemy being handed down
from father to son.
In the sixteenth century the Turks
under Sultan Solyman, wearied of this
desultory fighting, appeared in such
overwhelming force that the black
mountaineers were forced to sullenly
submit to Turkish suzerainty. Such a
condition lasted for two hundred years,
when the Montenegrins once more
broke the yoke and declared them
selves an Independent people and es-
tablished native monarchy, with
Njogosch as sovereign. He was in
vested with hierarchical as we'll as re-
gal powers, as were hiE successors, I'M
til 1881, when Prince Danieli, coming
to the throne, declined the ecclesias-
tical dignity, and since then the two
functions have been separate and dis
tinct.

chief of clan, and shares the rude, in
dependent existence of his people. He
rises late, and goes to the senate or
visits the court house, and takes part
in the deliberations of the supreme

he follows the debates attentively,
questions the accused and witnesses,
and sometimes acts as counsel for the
person on trial. Upon his daily prone

II is said Of the prince that he does
a certain amount of money lending on
his own account, since there are no
banks, and he is the only person who
has any money in his kingdom, and not

ruler should not have a more fertile
