Some people in this country have been rather ingenious in forming socie- ties intended to give those belonging to them some distinction, but some people in other countries also have ideas in that line. For instance, the very latest thing in the line of a so- ciety of exclusives in Paris Is an association composed of persons who escaped from that city by balloon dur ing the siege. It is known that sixty six balloons left the city, carrying 169 persons, and many of these still sur vive.
 The Society of the Fleeing Aeronauts of the Paris Siege is all right. So, too, will be the societies of the Sons and Daughters of ditto which will of course soon be formed. The members of these societies will indeed have "the bulge" on the other Parisians and will be much envied by them. It is a fine thing to belong to something that everybody can't belong to. We have been trying to think of & new society for New Haven that will give real distinction. Why cannot the Sons and Daughters of Those Who Fled from New Haven at the Time of the British Invasion get together? There wouldn't be many of them, but those who do exist would find much in common with each other and much in uncommon with the Sons and Daughters of Those who Stayed in New Haven at the Time of the Brit ish Invasion. There is room for four more new societies of Sons and Daugh- ters here, and they might be formed out of this notion.

SOME QUEER BIRDS.

The Boy Orator of the Platte has a great many friends and admirers, and some of them are especially loud and conspicuous in their friendship and ad- niration. The Utica Observer makes the following little list of some of those whose souls and tongues are most fired by the enthusiasm which the Boy Ora tor has aroused in them: Johann Most, the Anarchist General Coxey, the leader of the ragamuffin army. Ex- Governor Waite of Colorado, of bloody brides fame. Ex-Governor Pennoyer of Oregon, who refused to meet visit ing President of the United States on the ground that the Governor of Ore- gon was bigger man officially. Jo Sibley, a millionaire, who jumped into fame by making a scurrilous attack on President Cleveland in the House of Representatives and who has not been elected to any office since. Ben jamin Tillman of the foul tongue, who sits in the seat of John c. Calhoun in the United States Senate. Governor Altgela, the pardoner of Anarchists and the foe, of order. Senator Peffer of Kansas. Eugene Pebs, who led delud- ed followers into the most disastrous labor conflict that this country ever saw.
 Birds of a feather are flocking to- gether. How long they can keep to- gether without attacking each other remains to be seen. They are queer birds.

WHIT TREY MEAN.

The Chicago convention favored
 'such legislation as will prevent for the future the characterization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract" The New York Suns t1nan- cial writer, Matthew Marshall, says of that part of the platform: It can
 hardly be supposed that. they mean
 by this that private contracts for the
 payment of any particular kind of
 money shall be declared to be crimes and punished as such. What they
 probably have in mind is the taking
 lection of the courts of the United
 States, and leaving them to be en- forced either by the courts of individual
 States or by a sense of honor. Ger
 tainly, none of the older and richer
 States, such as New York or Massa-
 chusetts, would paralyze the business of its citizens by depriving contracts
 for payment in gold of the protection
 of law, and still less by punishing the
 making of them as crime.
 This has struck many as too mild and moderate a view to take of the
 meaning of those who made the Popu- listic and anarchistic platform. The Buffalo Courier seems to us to hit the nail on the head in the following: Our interpretation of this platform declara- ton is different. Altgeld, Tillman and their associates intended to make, by act of congress, all private contracts, providing for the payment of sum of money in United States gold coin, and not in silver coin, illegal, null and void. They propose to forbid any dis
 crimination between the several kinds of United States legal tender money. If such a law, enacted by congress, is
 valid, any State enactment containing a contrary provision would be ineffec- tual and void, and the State courts
 would be obliged to enforce the federal | law If the present United States su- preme court should not be found will | ing to uphold such a law as constitu- tional the court, in case the Populists
 should have the power, might be en- larged and packed Altgeld himself
 might become Supreme court jus ! tice.
 There is no good reason to doubt that
 if the makers of the Chicago platform ! should come into power they would go

FATE OF 4 WATERPROOF FOX.
A Maine Forest Had to be Burned Before the Hen Yards Could be Protected.
 From the New York Sun.


 Clewleyville, Me, July 1O-The Fourth of July came to the poultry keepers who live along the Air Line railroad and found them without courage or ammunition to celebrate the event The depression was not due to lack of patriotism, but came about as the nat ural result of a protracted and vindic- tive hunt after white faced fox which has lately Killed and carried away more than hundred of the best bred and highest priced hens and chickens in eastern Maine. The residents had walk ed so far. sat up so late of nights, and shot off so many guns trying to get this particular fox that when the Fourth dawned upon them they had used up all their strength and explo- sives, and were compelled to let the celebration go by default. As they skulked through the dripping woods and heard the joy guns booming in Old Town and Bangor, the uncertain ten- ures O. worldly possessions was inn pressed upon them so forcibly that sev- eral barrels of hard cider that had been preserved for having were warmed up with redhot pokers and let off to drown

Looking among the rusty and blackened trunks they saw what they thought was dead dog lying at the base of a tall ledge. Turning 1t over they found the under side was covered with long and silky hairs of a silver-gray color. Then they knew the white faced fox had perished in the flames which her enemies had started and that she would vex their hen yards no more.

 once they are understood and 1t is wiser to do so. The black satin tie an inch wide with creased-in ends is all right if properly tied In fiat increased horizontal bow. It's very bad taste to wear a tie with machine stitched ends showing conspicuously. String ties of wash silk are all right, but must be carefully chosen. Cream white with little black dots go with almost any shirt correctly but they lack distinc- ton. Still, distinction is dangerous feature about a tie, unless absolutely correct taste protects it fully from be- ing vulgar conspicuousness. To be conspicuous and to convey as we'll a conviction to the beholder that you are authorized in your choice, is to be at once stylish and distinguished. To be safely in line with the usual good taste is to avoid danger of vulgarity and at the same time, alas! to be In danger of being commonplace.

FASHION NOTES.
A Compromise Between Favorites.


 Though linen occupies in this sum- mer's list of fashionable fabrics the same place that mohair, did year ago, the latter stuff is by no means gone by, and some highly attractive new dresses are composed of it. Often, too, the del- icate linon trimmings that are em- ployed on grass linen gowns are put upon mohair with excellent effect. To- days picture represents such com promise between the leading fabric of year ago and the present favorite, the dress goods being tan mohair, and the trimming linon insertion. The bodice forms two large pleats and opens over linon ehemisette with yoke to match. Embroidery finishes the elbow sleeves, shows on skirt and shoulders, and gives the collar. Mousseline may be used for chemisette and yoke, but linon seems preferable

The committee of twelve of the American Pathological association has made a report on the study of Latin i'll schools, which contains one declaration os first rate importance. The commit tee reported against proposed reduc- tion of the time given to Latin, and then said: ''It is to be clearly under stood that the association is not now concerned with the question whether every one should be required to study Latin, but is simply laying down the proposition that those who do desire to st1ay 1t should find sufficient amount of time devoted to it to enable them to gain the best results" It goes on to show that the time is already insuftl- cient as judged by reasonable tests of inc results, and also considerably less than is allotted in England and Ger many.

People who suppose that royalty has only lately taken to cycling are great 1y mistaken. In the year 1858 a cycle manufacturer living in Dover was pat ronized by the Prince of Wales, "who Inquired 1ninutely as to the capacity and price of his velocipedes." So much overcome was the manufacturer by this mark of regal attention that after his royal highness' departure he determin- ed to make a handsome carriage, with all the latest improvements and present 1t for the acceptance of his royal high ness, Subsequently the velocipede Is described as "a beautiful structure, capable of going at the rate of eight miles an hour."

sumption and Frec-Trndc Folly.

In compliance with the request of several
wage earners in this city that some reliable
statistics be given indicating the course OF
wages since the great crime of 1S,3.' the
hgures from the report of the Senate
finance committee of 1891 are given without
comment In March, 1881, the Senate d.
rected its committee on finance, through
subcommittee, to report 1.-The effect or the
tariff laws upon imports and exports, the
growth. development. production of agri-
cultural and manufactured articles. at
home and abroad. and upon wages, do
nestle and foreign, etc.
In order to carry out its instructions the
Senate committee secured the services of
Hon. Carroll ID. Wright, Commissioner OF
Labor, who had at his service a finely
trained force for the work of collecting
statistics and the assistance of other ex-
perts. 1t was decided to secure the prices
of 22S articles, which included fifty-three OF
food, twenty-eight of clothing, fifty-four OF
metals and so on. 1T was the purpose OF
the committee to so back to 1910 as a start
ing point, but, while statistics were OBJ
tanned to that date, il was found that 1850
was the better year from which to make
all the comparisons. Never in any country
has such an investigation extended to so
many articles or to so large AN area.
In regard to the course of wages, all the
employments in twenty-one industries were
taken, involving 543 quotations of wages in
all parts of the country for each year. All
of these are shown in the report for each
employment, but in the summaries which
are presented here only the averages are
given. In regard to the averages. both the
simple average of all articles is given and
also the average of articles and wages ac-
cording to their Importance which
means that the employEents which are less
general and the articles of merchandise
which are not so necessary and Of so gen.
eral use are given place in the statistics
less prominent than those which are most
general as employment and most necessary
as articles. In the figures given here the
average OF wages and of prices is given ac-
cording to their Importance. For the pur-
pose of comparison, both wages and prices
are put at 100 IN 1860, so that all gain or
loss in subsequent years is represented by
the relation of the figures to 100. The fol-
lowing are the figures with the value OF
the dollar, each year in gold:

ton of wages. The statement Is very
stupid lie. Upon this assumption Chairman
Jones advises employees to demand at once
of their employers a contract at the same
wages for a considerable period in the
event of the election of Mckinley Jones
evidently believes that such a demand
would lead to labor troubles which would
help Organism. President Gompers IS re-
ported to be believer in free coinage, but
as the head of the Federation of Labor his
influence now, in the past, is against
having that powerful labor organization
used to promote the interests of any po-
litical party. Consequently, when his at
tention was called to the report of Chi
cago newspaper that a Popocratic head
quarters circular would be issued advising
strikes Mr.. Gompers is reported to have
made the following declaration

ties who can stop q strike when in progress.
The laboring men Of this country would not
form a strike for political reasons; they
would take recourse for the lettering of
their conditions only through the regular
recognized channels of their unions.
This Is fair notice to all those who would
use labor organizations to promote polit-
zeal aims that they cannot do it, and it
amounts to an intimation to the Jones COM
mittee that it would be well for it's men,
bers not to interfere with organized labor.
The policy outlined in the words at
tributed to President Gompers is the only
one which can safely be adopted by labor
organizations. They are made up of men
who belong to all parties. Some of them
are active and influential members of par

A NOTABLE CHANGE.

This educational campaign has caused
wonderful change even among Republicans
and sound-money men. in regard to the
gold STANDARD. At the beginning of the
campaign there were many who feared the
effect of taking advanced ground on the
question. Even In the St. Louis conven-
ton, it will be remembered there was
some opposition at first to putting the word
gold in the platform. Some tinlid people,
or perhaps they We're only half converted
then to sound money, feared that the very
word gold would lose the party votes. All
this is changed now. AS the campaign pro-
crossed and discussion revealed the true
outlines of the situation, it was found that
advocacy of the gold standard was an ele-
ment of strength instead of weakness. 1t
was found that gold, the money of the
civilized world and the measure of the
value of silver as well of all other val
ues, was the foundation of every sound
money system in the world and the only
basis of stable currency. 1t was found,
moreover that the advocates of the gold
standard were the best friends of silver.
