New York Fashion Letter.

Now that the outing season has come
the subject of suitable gowns for travel
ing, yachting and cycleing is upper
most in the field of fashions.
For travelling costumes, tweeds and
cheviots, in gray and brown shades,
are more popular than any other mate
rials. They are made with plain skirts
rather narrower than last year. The
bolero is almost universally used for
these costumes and pretty silk blouses
are worn under them. Many of our
large houses are trimming these suits
with narrow braid of decidedly con-
trasting color. The seams and hens of
skirts, also the collars revers and cuffs
of the jackets are outinued with braid.
Some of the boleros are cut up in the
back, but most of them reach to the
waist line all around.
Blue and White serge are always the
thing for yacting. The water does not
spot Or shrink them and they are warm
without being too heavy. Many of
these skirts are made without any lin
ing and are finished around the bottom
with triple hem about six inches
deep. The idea of making these hens
triple is to keep the feet from showing
between the bottom Of the peticoat and
the lower edge of the skirt.
Some outing dresses for older ladies
are made with cape jackets instead of
the bolero. The body part of these gar
ments is made half tight fitting with
slight ripple over the hips and in the
back. The full cape sleeves are lined
with silk, usually the same as the blouse
waist that is worn under il. These
garments are very comfortable for
travelling because they give perfect
freedom and ease in using the arms.
More care is taken in modelling and
finishing cycling costumes than hereto
fore. Brilliantine makes very COO
dress for this purpose and is we'll liked
because it does not catch the dust
Skirts are divided and not very wide
The bloomers are made scant around
the hips and quite full below the knee
The jackets worn with these costumes
are made tight fitting in back will
loose double breasted front.

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION
Should Produce National as Well as State
Pride.

The exposition which the people of
Tennessee have created to commemorate
the centennial anniversary of the state
should be source Of national as we'll as
local pride. Those who have been
familiar with all the great fairG which
have been held in this country place
none but the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position of 1893 ahead of the one now
open in Nashville. The Philadelphia
centennial and the exposition of New
Orleans, Atlanta and San Francisco all
stand second to this. The fact that
President Mckinley recognized the
Importance Of the event, and journeyed
from Washington with his cabinet and
personal party to spend Friday and
Saturday of last week in Nashville, in
dicates the national character of the
fair. Buildings erected by many of
the states of the Union and the splendid
exhibits from all parts of the country
are supplemented by surprisingly pre-
tentious displays from foreign coun-
tries.
So much for the quality of the fair. 1t
is not failing Of recognition. The peo-
pie of the southern and border states
are focking to Nashville in special
trains over oil lines. Northern visitors
attend in large numbers and receive q
cordial welcome. AS to immediate
finance, the directors take pride in the
fact that within three weeks after the
opening of the gates, while much was
still incomplete, they began the pay,
ment of their debenture bonds, and there
is every prospect that the close of the
season will show profit over all ex
pense. Chicago Record.

The gold Standard idea of insisting
that prosperity is at hand is doubtless
inspired by q recollection of Uncle

"Brer rabbit clumb er tree, and when
his little friend remarked that rabbit

dismissed the subject with the remark
''But dis here rabbit, jes' had ter climb

Gen. J. B. Heiskell, one of the franz

last week before the Nineteenth Cen

CATER defining a states constitution

set forth that the constitution of Ten
nessee was framed in 1870, and that in
these twenty-seven years the state
should have gained something by ex-
perience. Further, that the present
state of affairs was vastly different from
then, and different constitution and
laws were needed,
"Among other things set forth why 6
new constitution was needed was the
present system of taxation. On this

East Tennessee republicans may get
up lively row among themselves, but
charges of misappropriation of cam
paign funds are few and far between.
In Louisiana, however, real old time
scandal is being exposed. Three Of the
Mckinley delegation to st. Louis desire
to control the patronage of Louisiana
and take the big fat offices themselves.
The other eight delegates have not al
lowed any grass grow under their feet
while exposing the practices of the
three. Hence there have been charges
and counter charges of rottenness until
the whole Mississippi region smells to
heaven. Some of the funds which Mark
Hanna doled out and which did not
come in any great amount to East Ten
nessee, it is said, are still lingering in

English Agriculture.

Twenty-Five years ago the farmers of
Great Britain paid 1895, 100000 year in
rents and were highly prosperous. They
now pay probably, about half that
amount and are anything but prosperous.
A still further reduction is necessary be-
fore agricultural industry of Great Brit
ain can be put on firm basis. This
great change has been wrought by the
opening up of new wheat lands in the
United States, Canada, India, Australia
Argentina and other parts of the world
and by the development of England
own merchant marine. The supply of
wheat has been immensely increased, and
the cost of transporting it from distant
parts of the world greatly reduced. Ev-
cry acre of new wheat land opened In Ne
braska or the Plate country, and every
new tramp steamer decreased the value
of English land, cut down English rents
and reduced English agricultural pros
perity. But who will say that this has
been to the disadvantage Of the English
people as a whole? The purpose Of agri-
culture is to provide food for the people.
II, because of the changes spoken of, the
people have far more abundant and cheap
er food than ever before, how can they be
had for tho country, even though they
bring hardships on the landlords and ten
ant farmers?
The only permanent damage is likely
to fall on the landlords. They must con-
sent to readjustment Of rents that will
allow the tenents amargin ofprofit. Their
loss will not affect the general prosperity.

Spend Money at Home.

II you want to see your town prosper
and grow stop sending money away for
that which can be purchased at home.
Patronize every home industry possible.
Whatever can be made at home or what
ever is offered for sale at home should be
purchased by our own people, provided
that there is no very great difference in
the quality or in the price between the
goods offered at home and in other mar
kets. Make 1t rule never to buy any
thing outside of your own town. People
who live here and make their money here
should spend it with our merchants and
storekeepers. Whenever it comes to home
manufactured articles OF any description
the preference should always be given in
favor of home, even II they are little
higher than those sold elsewhere. Re-
member every dollar sent away is dollar
less in the commercial current at home.
The merchant and manufacturer you pat
ronize will aid and patrOnize you, but you
cannot expect those you buy from at a
distance to ever assist you or your town.

amined the credentials of those no prom
ised-and human nature has Unchanged.
Moses and Aaron spoke and neither
capital nor labor was convinced-it is the
same today. But Moses did not claim to
represent labor-he claimed an authority
even higher, and then proofs of his COM
mission followed thick and fast. Debs
and Bellamy shout, prophesy, and appeal
to violence, but the power to produce eff
feet seems wanting, and neither the Egyp
tians nor the Chosen are convinced. They
are on the shore OF Red Sea which does
not divide to afford them passage, and
shows no disposition to overwhelm the
armies and the chariots and horsemen Of
the law.
So it stands. Mr.. Debs may be the Mos
es he personates. those who oppose him
may be the new Egyptians, but the rea-
soning he offers does not convince, while
he does not condescend, as did Moses, to
prove his right to lead.
Mr.. Debs may continue to talk, and Mr..
Bellamy to write, and we will listen and
read, but they do not show credentials
from the labor Of America-much less
warrants of authority from higher sour
ces. They are not averse to spelling the
Egyptians" and Mr.. Debs says that I'M
der certain circumstances he may even
follow his assumed prototype still further
but, like the Israeites, we are waiting for
proofs, however willlnge we might be to
follow the cloud by day and the fiery pill
low by night even into the desert into
which these self-elected leaders wish to
take us.
Let it be fully understood that these
two represent their own views, and seek
to carry out their purposes by peaceable
and legal means, and they have the right
to hew to the line and let the chips fall
where they may.-Citizen.
