4fETER MILNE.

While the Popu1ists' plan of campaign has not yet been fully formed it is evi- dent that they mean to make a tre- mendous attack on Maine, the home of the plutocratic tail of their ticket. Mir. Sewall thus encourages them: If we can undo the work in Maine which has already been done, l believe we will be able to carry the State. The State con- vention has been held and has nomin- ated ticket on a gold platform. The gentleman who is the candidate for governor is all that can be desired. and he assures me that he will stand upon the platform adopted by the ccnyen- ton. We shall under these conditions fight in Maine with good prospects of success.
 This is easy and comforting talk, but it will not be easy to undo the work in Maine which has already been done. The Democratic State convention of June + adopted gold platform-a definite issue was made upon it--by a vote of 193 to 101, and nominated for Governor Hon. Edward B. Winslow of Portland, who was regarded as a strong gold standard Democrat There will have to be a greater change than is probable in order to undo this work, and while the Popu1ists are busy trying to undo it the friends of sound money and good government will not be idle. There is no reason to believe that MT. Sewall is any more popular in Maine than he has been or that the free-silver fraud has gained approval as it has become more conspicuous.

of high and low pressure areas across the United States in periods of six and seven days was pointed out in 1894 by H, Helm Clayton. The investigation has been since continued by Q study of observations at stations in the Arctic regions, the United States, Europe, Asia, Oceanica, South America, Mauri- tius and Australia. The results, it is believed, open up a promising field for predicting weather far ahead. Thus far 1t Is possible to say that in all parts of the world barometric minima will be from ten to twenty per cent. more fre- quent on certain days than on certain other days. provided the interval taken is sufficiently long. It Is also possible to say that certain days will average colder than other days. MT. Clayton thinks even this information would prove of value to certain industries, and has an abiding faith that it is only the beginning of the science of weather forecasting which is yet to come.

4 MAN OF DESTINY.

MT. Bryan is said to believe himself to be Man of Destiny'' He has long felt that he was cut out for something big, and because of this feeling and be- cause he carried a rabbits foot to the convention he wasn't surprised out of his senses when the lightning struck him.
 We also believe that MT. Bryan is a Man of Destiny The Boy Orator of the Platte has been selected by the fates to play an important part in the history of this country and of human progress. They have placed him at the head of the most incongruous and fam tastic political party that has ever dis graced, shocked and amused this coun- try. They probably remember that when he was in congress he bathetical- ly declared his willingness and anxiety to be martyr to the cause of silver, and they are evidently going to take him at his word. When they get through with him he will be more than ever convinced that he is Man of Destiny but he will not be so pleased with the notion as he now appears to be. We believe that it is his destiny to have the worst licking that any presi- dential candidate in this country ever got, and when he looks for his rabbits foot at the end of the campaign he will find it changed into a mules foot, and will feel it kicking him.
 Oh yes! The Boy Orator of the Platte is Man of Destiny" and he carries rabbits foot.

pense. This was done under an old regulation Of the postal department which makes it the duty of postmast- CTS to deliver to any private letter car rler letters and papers for all persons who have given such carrier a written order for, their mail matter, This reg ulation had not been used anywhere it is believed, for general system of de- llvering letters. The PostofIice depart ment, although not resembling the reg ulation, has not favored 8 private car rier system and has given as reason that it "aims a deadly blow at box rents" The carrier system in Berwick had cost the government S225 a year. No trouble was experienced in obtain- ing the consent of 225 families to have their mail delivered twice daily for one dollar per annum. So anxious were the business men to have a carrier system that many offered to pay enough to give the carrier boys twice their old salary.

4 SURPRISE

Last evening the Board of Council men failed to concur with the action of the Board of Aldermen in the celebrat- ed case of New Haven vs. the Board of Public Works and the Boston Asphalt company, and decided to wait for fur ther news from the Committee on Streets.
 This is a surprising development. It was taken for granted that the opinion of the councilmen would be like that of the aldermen. The opinion of the Board Of Aldermen was based on the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, who, after careful consideration. had decided that the Board of Public Works had exceeded it's authority and that the contract was not legal.
 What next? An apology to the as- phalt company and a full and fiatter- ing indorsement of the Board of Public Works?

fl POSTAL POINTER.

It appears that there is a way by which small communities, denied let ter-carrier service by the Postoffice de-
 pertinent, can have such service legally at comparatively small expense to the beneficiaries. This has been demon- strated at Berwick, Columbia county, Pennsylvania. Berwick was one of the forty-six postoffices selected to test the praeticabilfty and expense of extending the free delivery service to the smaller postoffices. When the service was sus- pended July 1, after having been in op- .eration for five years, the patrons of the postofffce were quite willing to provide for its continuance at their oWn ex-

go back on the VOW that only pure white underwear and night wear is ex- actly the right thing. For the summer visitor to the mountains or seashore, nightdresses of dainty fanneilette are to be commended. They are very com fortable and becoming, and the laundry at the average summer resort means ruin to delicate muslins and lawns, while fiannellette they cannot spoil Underwear of this material for vaca- tioners is a good idea, too. Though it may be hot in the city, the sudden change to sea or mountain air makes the touch of something with feel of wool in it very grateful.
 For those whose early morning outfit includes a dressing jacket there will be interest in this picture, which displays a very pretty model of such garment. Made of gray and white striped silk, its front is loose and the back fitted, the fitness being confined by a twisted belt of white satin ribbon. The yoke has a point at either side of the front, is square in back and Is outlined with a full ruffie of white embroidered nous seline de soie, the same material being used for the stock collar and it's garni- ture. The puffed sleeves terminate at the elbows and are trimmed with mousseIine de soie ruff1es.
 The prettiest neglige wrappers are made with square neck, that is, the front is loose, like a panel set in under an overgown, and this panel is set low down on the throat. The morning gown should fit up about the ears with soft high ruff effect. No one is ready to be seen in a low collar till an hour or so after breakfast. If you are young and pretty enough to do it. it is hardly fair to spoil breakfast for the girls who can't do it, so refrain. FLORETTE.

FASHION NOTES.
Laid Aside Before Breakfast

A home made nightdress of white Japanese silk does not cost much more than a boughten one of ordinary cot ton, is much prettier and lasts much longer. With a simple pattern the gar ment is easily made, and with a pair of black ones to serve in travelling and g change of white ones a woman will be nicely equipped. Some of the silk nightdresses are so pretty that it seems almost a shame to go to bed in them. Those of the daintiest wash silk with little knote of flowers all over and fast ened with knots of ribbon to match are so pretty that one is almost tempted to
