SMART COAT FOR A CHILD.
Electric Blue Cloth Trimmed With
Revers of ChinchiIIa.

A smart cloak for a girl Of twelve is cut
sack-shape with double-breasted front There
are short revers, a border down one side
and about the hem Of chinchiiIa and deep
turnover cuffs and huge nTuf are of the
fur. The material is a covert suiting OF cleo
trio blue. Red is always pretty for children
and IS particularly popular this winter. An
elaborate cloak for a tot of three years is of
deep red velvet, trimmed with Greek lace and
chinchilla; both the lace and fur edging the
three tiny shoulder capes that are cut too
snort to extend even q trifie over the sleeves.
House gowns OF red cashmere have eIab-
crate braided patterns or are trimmed by
yards and yards of tiny velvet ribbon ar
ranged in elaborate designs. Short red
jackets are effectively worn over white frocks
and there seems to be no end to the number
OF pretty costumes in this color fer children.
Corduroy velvets are used both for gowns
and quaint pelisses, and some Of the latter
are trimmed with plain velvet, which is
used for revers, cuffs and pockets in place Of
fur. smart gown Of gray corduroy has
a row of green ribbon velvet rcsettes down
each side of the skirt, with two correspond
ing rows on the waist. The front of the
garment is blouse-fashion, with the back
princess shape The bows apparently end
the princess half of the little costume There
is green choker at the throat that turns
away under the chin to show the lining Of
pale blue, which appears again under the
velvet forming the fiaring cuffs.

BEDRIDDEN.
FIFTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.
The Doctors Wanted Seven Hundred
Dollars to Attempt the Case.

The Following Is a letter we received
short time ago from Mrs. M. c. Hink-
ley, COZ North Mississippi St.. India
napolis, Ad:
Gentlemen:-While suffering intense
ly from piles, became interested in
your advertisement in one of our daily
papers and procured a package Of your
PYRAMID Pile Cure from our druggist
contrary to any expectations, the relief
was instantaneous. 1 used two boxes
OF the Pile. Cure and one of the Pills
ana am convinced that they are the
only sure cure for piles on the market
l have been sufferer from piles for
fifteen years and have been confined
to my bed about One-haIf of the time
expecting and wishing for death for
the pain was so great. I went to the
college here and the doctors said nv
case was new one to them, the great
pam having brought on a large rup-
ture, which they wanted seven humid
red dollars to cut out. l was very much
afraid that death would result from
the blood-poison1ng which they said
would result from the operation. I
feel as though I can't praise the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and the Pyramid Pills
too highly, as am convinced that they
saved my life. Before using your cure
weighed only ninety pounds and now
I weigh one hundred and fifty and feel
as we'll as l ever did in my life. You
are at liberty to use this testimonial
In any manner you may see fit, as I
want all sufferers from this terrible
disease to know that there has at last
been compounded a remedy that will
cure piles. Mrs. M. G.. HinkIey.
There is no need Of the danger, pain
and expense Of a surgical operation
for any form Of piles. The Pyramid
Pile Cure does the work without pain
and is the safest and best. Remember
also that the Pyramid Pills are a GER
tain cure for constipation, acting with
out gripping and restoring natural action
to the bowels.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents and $1.O0, and the
Pyramid Pills at 25 cents, or by mail
from Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich.

DIDN'T GET TOGETHER
DuIuth's Delegation Causes q Jar in
the House

small tilt occurred yesterday morn

that the members of the ST Louis dele

rather quiet way by Representative
Coe, Of Hennepin. Mr.. Lavbourn
speaking on bill had the following to

twenty days. Besides L have reason to
understand that, though this measure
concerns the lumber interests Of Du-
Iuth, yet has not been passed on by the
lumbermen of that locality"
Representative Schmidt, whose bill
was being considered on general Or
ders, had only just finished an explana-
ton as to its purpose in giving a lien
on lumber and logs to contractors. and
was waiting for favorable action when
his colleague from the Zenith City
broke in with the above amendment.
lnasmuch as his bill in no way pro-
Vlded for a time limit on the lien. he
felt aggrieVed, that he had not been
consulted as to the amendment He was
on MS dignity in an instant especially
as his toWnsman had intimated that the
Illmbermen at the head Of the lakes.
were not anxious for this kind Of a
bill anyway. He objected fatty to the
amendment, observing which, Mr..
Laybourn stretched 1T out to thirty
days Then the house was in a GUAM
dairy, until finally Representative Coe
threw himself into the breach, with a.
motion for reference to the committee
on logs and lumber. Quick as a flash

concluding event in the afternoons pro-
gramme, and McPartlan showed his wonder
ful burst OF speed to advantage. He covered

Chicago, Jan. 26-The dispatches from
Nevada today on the passage Of bill
under the provisions of which Dan
Stuart could pull off the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons battle, set the sports here
agog and all manner Of gossip was in
dulged In. George Siler, who is to ref
cree the big mill and who in conjunc-
ton with Malachy Hogan is to run q
special train from Chicago to the ring
side, would not commit himself as to
the location of the proposed ring.
All the world will know in a day or
Two just where the ring Is to be
pitched" said Siler. I'VE have the
train already engaged and yet the gen
eral manager of the road with whom
we are doing business does not know
just how far he will have to haul lis.
viii say this much, however, we will
be at the ringside sixty hours after
we pull out Of the depot in Chicago.
Mr.. Hogan and myself have been kept
busy for the past week answering let
tiers Of inquiry from out of town. Thus
TAR we have advised our CORRESPONDENTS
to b1de their time and when the proper
moment arrives we will acquaint them
With all the details they can make sure
of. The sports from New York, Phil

FIRST THE RECORDS.
Mountain Iron Mine Committees
Plan of Action

The joint committee from the house
and senate to investigate the matter of
the famous Mountain Iron mine. met
last night looking to a most satisfac-
tory discharge Of their duties. The
joint committee was made up as fol-
lows: Representative Donnelly, Dare
Smith, Reeves, Staples and HILL Jacob
son was absent. Senators Young, Shee-
han, Greer, and Ringdal. Mr.. Don
nelly was named chairman Of the com
mittee, and related the details of the
deals surrounding the REIMBURSEMENT
OF the rich mining property by the
state to outsiders. When it came to
talking over plan of action, Mr. DON
nelly thought it best for the commit
tee to take testimony, as far as DOS
sible, from the documents in the state
auditors office before proceeding with
the examination Of witnesses. In this
the other members concurred, and 1t
was decided to meet again Friday night
at the capitol when the work will be
commenced along that line. No secre-
tary or clerk was selected last night,
that being left until the necessity for
actual work is at hand

CHILD TORTURE
Prevails I'm Abyssinia as a Result of
Royal Cruelty.

we nave been hearing a good deal

The Emperor Menelek's wife is Tai
tou. She has been empress for about
five years, supplanting a previous wife
whom he divorced. Taitou is a re-
markable woman. not only for her
cruelty, which is extreme, but for the
ascendency which she has obtained
over the emperor, or negus negusti

Travellers to Abysslnia are invariably
struck by the number of children who
carry scars or burns, and are other
wise mutilated. 1t is also noted that
scarcely a child, however young. can
be found who has not had its ears
pierced. This state of affairs arises
from the strange and horrible belief Of
Taitou. The empress is descended from
family of lepers. and is fearful of
suffering from the hereditary disease.
In some way or other she has become
1mbued with the idea that if she battles
in the blood of young children she will

TESTING ENGLISH WATCHES,
How Their Accuracy Is Proved Be-
fore They Are Sold.

There has been matchmaking at Coventry
as long as there has been a watch trade In
England, which is for the last two hundred
years or Whereabouts. There used to be three
eenters of the English trade, says the Jewell
ers' Review, these being Liverpool, Covetry
and London; now there are practically but
two, Coventry and Birmingham. The test Of
good watch is that it should obtain a Kew
certificate and Of the watches that go to
Kew rs per cent are from Coventry.
At Kew no watch has yet succeeded In
getting the 100 marks, which signify perfec-
ton, but Coventry has come nearest, with 90,
and is always well to the front. The Kew
test Is no light one. The watch is tested in
every position, and its rate registered, not
only per day, but per hour; it is hung by
its pendant, hung upside down, hung on each
side, placed dial down and back down, and at
any number of angles, and to finish up with
Is baked in an oven and frozen in an ice
pail. No wonder that watch with Kew
certificate is a comfort to it's owner.
When 1t is considered that it makes IS coo
vibrations an hour and must not vary a sec
ond week, while a quarter turn of it's two
time screws, meaning the millionth Of an
inch, will make a difference of twenty sec
onds day, the delicacy Of its adjustments
will be appreciated, as will also the risk of
tntrusting its repair to any but skilled hands.

called to the desk and the oath adj
ministered by the lieutenant governor.
Senator Dunn was not only given all
the committee places made vacant by
the unseating of Mr.. Day, but upon
Senator Sheehan's resignation from the

But the st. Paul Curriers' Had q Royal
Time

The St Paul curriers' who spent the last
week at the Portage bonspiel did not bring
back any trophies result Of their skill
with the ''stanes," but they all agree that
they were royalty treated and entertained
during their visit. To quote one of the local
curriers', Nothing was too good for u.s. We
had the freedom Of the city, and all that
could make life pleasant was ours for the
asking. and If one didn't ask it was gently
limited that we ought to make known our
wants, so they could be attended to-" The
three Kinks from St. Paul were not fortu-
nate in winning any of the prizes, but there
We're other Kinks from other Giles in the same
fix, SO that they were not at all lonesome in
this particular.

USEFUL TATTOOING.
Suggested as q Practical Mark for
Purposes of Identification.

Why should we not all of us be identified
from youth upward by a tattooed mark? Men
who travel have often found difficulty in get
ting checks cashed in strange places and
women who entertain are frequently taken
in by distinguished guests who prove to
be any person except the distinguished ones
expected, says the Boston Home Journal. A
tattoo mark, registered somewhere and placed
on record so as not to be initiated without
punishment from the law, would be every
bit as useful on human beings as the brand is
cattle.
Human beings, when disassociated from

difficulty than attends the picking out of
particular cow or horse from large num-
Der. 1t was Thomas Hughes who declared
that a man would refuse to recognize his
best friend If the latter was set down in
ragged clothing at street crossing-and he
was right. Men escape justice easily by
such simple devices shaving the mus
tache or growing a beard, and the lady in
stageland who isn't recognized by her own
family merely because she puts on differ
ent colored dress is not unknown In real life
A. Philadelphia man has been discovered with
his name and address tattooed on his arm
and he takes great pleasure in getting checks
merely exhibiting his arm.
Properly arranged. the name and address
of a fair debutante, with her family crest and
a few incidentals added. would not disguise
her above-glove arm, and similar markings
would be very useful for all the boys who
went in for athletics and who desired to
be known to the world better than was pos
sible through letters pinned on the back and
bound to blow off during the first bit Of wind.
