Late Designs for skirts and sleeves-Ths
Autumn Fashions.

Especial New York Correspondencel
The autumn brings out modifica-
tion in the contour of skirts and sleeves,
with striking changes in color and
garnitures. Regarding the sleeves,
which continue to be such an impor-
tant factor of the gown, there are
numberless styles, but in every instance
the prevailing modes are simple
end picturesque replicas and modifica-
tions of the eXaggerations of past sea-
sons-neither skinny in effect, nor over
full, but of graceful contour, and who'll
ly devoid of any of the stiff interlining
recently used. The wrinkled nous
quetaire style with n medium puff q t the
top is one of the seasons favorites; the
Queen Bess is a dressy model in one
puff for day and evening wear, the puff
short and crisp looking, with twist and
bow of black velvet ribbon finishing
the puff at it's lower edge Most of the
autumn tailor costumes show the very
close coat sleeve, with some sort of con-
cession at the top by way of frills, slight
drapery, puffs, eqaulettes, points, or
slashed pieces bound with velvet and
variously adjusted. The small Stuart
is shirred in five rows at the top and
three at the bottom where it joins the
sleeve, standing out well exactly in the
center of the puff almost as if wire
kept it in position. 1t is trim and taut
| in effect, and has no baggy fullness
whatever under the arms. All the NUT
ton-leg sleeves are of diminished, mod
crate size, with nearly all the fullness
| allowed in the width instead of the
| length. From wrist to elbow, the fa-
vorite mutton-leg shape is smooth and
| snug, and seven out of ten of these
models show cuff either pointed like q
Gala lily and falling over the top of the
hand, or finished with a cuff of cloth
overlaid with rows of braid, or of velvet,
rounded, pointed, slashed, or cut in two
parts and silk lined. New autumn
bodice trimmings are made to answer,
in a degree at least, for the fall on the
size of the rampant sleeves of the past
and breadth is given to the shoulders
by means of double revers. epaulettes
pointed draperies, Vandyked collar
cites, and various other shoulder dec
orations more or less elaborate in
effect. Full and faring little pelerinei
and shoulder capes of corded silk OF
velvet are the first sign of fall WRAP
worn. They simply cover and adorn
the shoulders, are richly lined, and i'm
part handsome effect to a street cos
tune at small expense.
New skirts are varied and stylish
The seven-gored shape is one of th'
leading favorites, also n new circuial

WHO IS TO eLAME2
The Free silver Wolf Says That the SQUAD
Money Lamb IL Disturbing business.

The Free silver Wolf Says That the Sound
Money Lamb Is Disturbing business.
The wolf in the fable blamed the
lamb for stirring up the bed of the
stream and making the water muddy.
"But," said the lamb, "the water runs
from you toward me. 1 could not have
disturbed your drinking" "oh, well"
the wolf rejoined, "if you did not, your
grandfather did" And he straightway
dined on young mutton.
The silverite wolves who are bowling
calamity and threatening to overthrow
our sound financial system pretend to
find an excuse for their sixteen to one
schemes in the unsettled condition of
business. Because loans are being called
in and capital is timidly waiting the re-
suit of the elections, the advocates of
| free coinage say, in the words of their
| presidential candidate: You are inter-
| fering with business" All unfavorable
| indications in trade and industry they
loudly ascribe to the gold standard, and
the manufacturers who are forced to
limit their output by reason of the re-
fusal of merchants to buy while there is
so much uncertainty about prices are
accused of being goldbugs who are pur-
posely making hard times.
It should be easy for all intelligent
voters to see through the hypocrisy of
the silverite claims. Nothing can be
more certain than that instead of being
due to the gold standard any financial
stringency which may now exist is al
most entirely caused by the agitation
for debased currency. With large
number of office-seeking politicians go
ing up and down the country shouting
for cheap dollars, and promising to cut
the measure of values in two If they
gain control of the government, how
can business be good? A tight money
market simply means that the owners
of capital are unwilling to make loans,
Does any reasonable man expect that
the threat of enabling borrowers to pay
their debts in 50-cent dollars is going
to encourage investors to part with their
capital? On the contrary, is it not self
evident that the clamor for a debt re-
pudiation policy is the real source ot
business depression?
So long as there remains any doubt
as to the future financial basis of ouI
, |
tions so long will there be anxiety anc
fear in the commercial world. Distrust
will continue to breed failures capita
! will be scarce and interest high; debt!

A STABLE STANDARD.
Mr. Hobart shows why Gold Is tho Bess
Standard of Values.


In his letter accepting the republican
nomination for vice president Hon. Gar
ret A. Hobart said:
"The money standard of great ma
ton should be as fixed and permanent
as the nation itself. To secure and re-
tain the best should be the desire of
every right-minded citizen. Resting on
stable foundations, continuous and IN
varying certainty of value should be
its distinguishing characteristic. The
experience of all history confirms the
truth that every coin, made under any
law, howsoever that coin may be
stamped, will finally command in the
markets of the world the exact value of
the materials which compose it. The
dollar of our country, whether of gold
or silver, should be of the full value of
100 cents, and by so much as any dollar
is worth less than this in the market by
precisely that sum will some one be de-
frauded.
"The necessity of a certain and fixed
money value between nations as well
as individuals has grown out of the in
terchange of commodities, the trade and
business relationships which have arisen
among the peoples of the world, with
the enlargements of human wants and
the broadening of human interests.
This necessity has made gold the final
standard of all enlightened nations.
"If we are to continue to hold our
place among the great commercial ma
tions, we must cease juggling with this
question and make our honesty of pur'
pose clear to the world. No room should
be left for misconception as to the
meaning of the language used in the
bonds of the government not yet ma
tured. 1t should not be possible for any
party or individual to raise question
as to the purpose of the country to pay
all its obligations in the best form o.
money recognized. by the commercial
world.
"Any nation which is worthy of credit
or confidence can afford to say explicit
ly on question so vital to every in
terest what it means when such mean
ing is challenged or doubted. 1t is de
sirable that we should make it known a
once and authoritatively that an hon
est dollar means any dollar equivalen
to gold dollar of the present standar'
of weight and fineness."

Marking of BallotH.

COLUMBUS, Sept. 26.-Secretary OF
State Taylor, state supervisor of elec-
tions, is sending out to the election
officers of the state revision of his
circular of instructions, made in ac-
cordance with the amendments made
to the election laws last winter. The
most important of these is that which
limits the assistance that may be given
to voters in marking their ballots by
the precinct election officers to those
who are physically unable to mark
them. The clause is as follows:
IA voter who declares to the presid-
ing judges of election that he is unable
to mark his ballot by reason of blind
ness, paralysis, extreme old age, or
where other physical infirmity is ap-
parent to the judges to be sufficient to
ncapacitate the voter from marking
his ballot properly, may receive the
assistance of two of the judges of cleo
tion in marking his ballot"
The supervisor has been given con-
siderable latitude in this matter and
he has used it. After the word de
clares'' he has dropped out the words
ION OATH" which were in the old bill.

Disaster overtakes a steamer.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. 3d.
The steamship Umatilla, from San
Francisco, struck a boulder near the
entrance to Port Discovery bay, in a
dense fog at o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. She was quickly gotten off and
headed for Port Townsend. The wa
ter rushed in with tremendous force,
quenching the fires. The passengers
thought the vessel was sinking and a
panic reigned for few minutes and
had it not been for the GOODNESS of the
officers several fatalities would have
occurred. The vessel was ran ashore
and the passengers landed.

AKRON, Sept. 30.-The political sensa-

meeting held here by Senator Teller
Monday night at which Gen. Finley, of
Bucyrus, read letter written by Maj.
Mckinley to S. E. Perkins, of Wey-

Old Soldiers, Railroadera and Farmers
Call on tho Republican Candidate.
CANTON, Sept, 3o.-.Three of the five
delegations scheduled to arrive here
Tuesday postponed their coming and
the two remaining ones did not go to
Maj. McKinleys house on account of
the rain, but were addressed in the
tabernacle. A delegation of 500 Union
veterans from the State Soldiers Home
at Sandusky with hundred citizens of
that town came at 1890 on special
train over the B. IS o. road Sergeant
Hopkins introduced the spokesman, L.
w. Hull, who addressed Mai. McKin-
ley at some length. Maj. Mckinley s
greeting from the old soldiers was
ardent After the applause had sub
sided he spoke briefly, talking mainly
on pensions and the money question.
The second and last delegation of
the day arrived an hour later. 1t was
composed in the main of employees of
the b. & o. railroad in northern In
diana. With the delegation were 200
farmers and about so ladies. There
were upwards of 500 railroad men in
the delegation and Maj. Mckinley has
not had a more attentive and enthusi-
astic body of visitors since his nomina-
tion, nor has he listened to more
effective address than the one made on
behalf of the B. & o. railroad men by
their spokesman, Judge w. L. Penfield
of Auburn, Ind. In response Maj. Nc
Kinley made a lengthy address.
John w. Foster, ex-secretary Of
state, slipped quietly into Canton il
the morning and had an hours tall
with Maj. Mckinley. He said at thu
station before leaving that Indiana
would give substantial plurality fol
Mckinley and that he would get tn,
votes of most of the gold democrats.

Canadian Pacific system Almost at q
StandstilI Because OF Strike of Train
Dispatchers.
TORONTO, Sept. 0.-Dispatches from
various points on the Canadian Pacific
railway show that the strike of train
iispatchers along the line of the road
is still on. All the freight trains are
said to be stalled.
OTTAWA, Sept 30.-In consequence
Of the Canadian Pacific railway strike,
trains on that road are stopped all
along the Ottawa and Chalk river di-
visions Passenger trains are moving
except the Winnipeg and 500 expresses.
There is said to be a possibility of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers ordering it's men out, partly in
sympathy with the strikers and partly
to protect them against action under
the orders of inexperienced men. Un-
less something like this is done, it
seems likely the strike will prove a
allure. The men are badly organ
lied and have little money.
MONTREAL, Sept 30.-A majority of
the Canadian Pacific railway telegraph
ers on the main line between st. John,
n. B., and Vancouver, B. c., have
stopped work. On the Ontario lines
the effect of the call 10 strike appears
not to have been general and things
are better there than elsewhere. From
Montreal to Quebec and east to st.
John and north to Chalk river, ma
jority of the operators are out. The
officials say they will be able to get
hundreds of operators from the United
States in few days. Meanwhile they
do not expect passenger traffic to suf-
fer, though freight may be delayed.
The commercial telegraphers are not
affected by the strike and the company
is accepting messages as usual.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Sept So
Business ON the 500 and Canadian Pa
