The firm orga anized in New York to pot
bindings on dIess skirts is coin ng money.
They send for the skirts clean them, press
them and rebind them with the best bin u
ing for 80 cents and upward, according
to the width of the skirt. A similar con-
Germ in every city should make comfort

to the notice OF women.
The secret of washing the clamois gloves,
which this season are bleached white, is To
put them on the hands and immerse them
in warm. soapy water. Rub till clean,
rinse in warm, soapy water, and press the
water out without twisting by running

some of the soap in the gloves.
Steam is a great ally of the would-be
thrifty woman. A chiffon dress that has
become mussed can be freshened to look
as good as ever, unless torn, by steam
ing il over a large volume of steam such
as a witle-mouthed boiler affords. Wells
too, that are wrinkled can be smoothed
out much better hy steaming than by
ironing them. The moisture as soon as
evaporated has the effect not only OF taking
out the wrinkles, but Of giving crispness

They are having rather a lad time in
Chicago. That is nothing new especially
in hot weather, but there is new featur,
OF the situation. Eighty-seven deaths from
hot weather within a few weeks doesn't
break the record; but that tisnot the trouble.
Soft coal fires and continual smut is not
the trouile-that is, not necessarily High
buildings and inadequate water supply are
not the trouble. The new trouble is that
that portion of the humanity of big city
which could properly go out and clean
itsss!f in the lake in more unsophisticated
days is now forbidden to do SO. There
is a sort OF Astury Park development along
the lake shore, and il would appear that
the Inhabitants OF that part OF the town
sit at their windows with opera glasses

suits or not Now, as everybody knows,
the kraall toys of the tenement districts
10 no. usually have bathing suits OF the
Asbury Park variety, and some Of them
cannot afford TO have new suits made at
this time in the season. Therefore, they
do not lathe, and the Inhabitants of the
lake shore are not shocked. But it is
rather hard on the citizen Of a soft coal
district not TO be able to take a swim If
be happens to want one.

themselves against the altar rail az they

The country, having watched the tariff
proceedings OF yesterday in breathless
astonish:ncnt, feels rather exhausted this
morning. There is WEAKNESS, or rather
reaction stuffed with joy, in the hearts
OF Ali Baba Hanna, the Autocrat, and the
thirty eight or so other gentlemen, who
most anxiuusly Of all men handled the
ribbon OF the stock ticker yesterday, and
wore out the shoes Of private secretaries
and messengers, running between the tele-
graph office and various committee rooms.

CURED BY ABUNDANT FAITH.
Miracle Declar red to Have Resulted
From Camp-Meetipg Prayers.

Hazleton, Pa, July 20.-A miraculous
case of faith cure has come TO light In
this city. For seven months Miss Lizzie
Brown has been confined TO her bed, un-
able to- move, suffering from what physi-
clans pronounced heart trouble.
They administered to her regularly. and
d week ago gave her up as hopelessly in
curd5lc. Her case was mentioned To Pre-
siding Elder Trumbauer, OF the Holiness
Association, which is conducting camp
meeting in this city.
The members hesieged the residence OF
the young lady, offered up prayers and
anointed her regularly every day. Sat
urday afternoon at 8 O'Clock was the time
set for her to arise from her bed Of sick
ness. Friends and relatives gathered,
and when the clock struck 8 the young
lady arose, alked about the room, and is
apparently as well as ever.
She has become a member OF the associa-
ton, and on Sunday night thousands Of
people invaded the camp-meeting ground
to listen TO her story.

FOR THE BLUE STOCKING.

The Washington girls latest addition to
pcrs that stock her writing des is a ma nu-
script more or less ready for the press
she mas aspirations above the mere acci-
dents OF birth, wealth and beauty, and
likes to achieve distinction for herself
She taxes it for granted that she is capable
of excelling in one gift, if not anoth .r,
and So, if nature has failed to bestow upun
heI a genius for music or painting, she
settles it to her own sa tisfaction that her
vocation Is to write.
Perfumed sheets tied with ribbons and
penned with graceful fineness weut out
with the girl who indicted timid odes to
spring. The new girl is neither timid nor
ode given. She writes up her travels, her
romanceS, and especial subjects studie,l
UP for that purpose and she writes ii all
down on ordinary tablets with srft lead
pencil which, by the way, she Gespises,
but can't be induced to do without ie-
cause it looks more professional than a
pen.
The ope flaw in the beauty of this Fad
is the likelihood of its growing so common
as to become really vulgar.
That is the worst of fashions that need
only brains instead of money. People Who
live even beyond the suburbs OF Vanity
Fair not only write, but actually get their
efforts published.

The final act of the screeching farce
10 the suppressed Houseo Of Representatives
hardly is worth review. The scene was
Interesting principally as indicating the
object disorganization and total absence of
leadership on the Democratic side. 1t
was a fitting end TO a history of shame and
Disgrace TO a great national political or
ganization. In holding the Autocrat re-
sponsibIe for defiance and violation OF
the Constitution, and OF the rules and
rights of the House, the nation will be very
much inclined TO pardon him forthe amused
contempt with which e has contemplated
and treated the so-called Democratic minor

There is something funny about the logic
of certain Republican papers in Nebraska
First, they discovered that the Popnlst
party was swallowing the Democratic
party, and then they found that the Dem
ocratic party was swallowing the Pop
ulist party. Now, which of these is tine?
Each, or the other? Or both? Such case
has not been heard of since the days of
Duncan's horses, which ate each other. The
state OF the Kilkenny cats is nothing to IL.
They merely disseminated each other
throughout the surrounding atmosphere
And not the least miraculous part OF the
whole affair is that the Democrats and the
Demopops continue to live together just
as happily as ever.

THE NEW FIRE LIMITS.
Boundaries as Established Under
the New building Regulations.

OF the many changes made by the
Commissioners In the new building regu-
lations, to be issueJjn few days, the re-
arrangement OF the District fire limits Is
probably one OF The most important fea
lures. While there has been no extension
OF territory, nor change of localities, the
proper designation or certain streets has
been given. This has not heretofore been
the case, and the Commissioners, at the
instance OF thelinspector of buildings, de-
cided that an entire Encouragement OF the
fire limits should be inserted In the new
building regulations, and 1T reads thus:
All that portion OF the firebounds arc
hereby established as the fire limits of the

Strange as il may appear, the offer OF
Marcus the Peacemaker to instruct his
''oompetent men" in furtherance of amity
between miners and operators does not
seem TO have checked the spread OF the
great coal strike. Itis both surprising and
lamentable to notice that the situation
today is worse than ever In the western
mining district of Pennsylvania all the
plants areidle save that OF De Armitt, while
only 5000 OF the 3s 900 miners of Illinois
are reported at work. West Virginia, too,
practically has joined the movement OF is
confidently expected to today. All The i'm
portant mines of Ohio are closed, and In
diana mining has ceased These condi-
tions, unless relieved at once, will bring us
IL is true that operators in some districts
are showing indications OF a resort to
non-union labor; but it is very doubtful il
anything of that sort would add much to
the supply OF coal at centers OF population
aud industry. II is much more probable
that the attempt merely would lead to
violence snd bloodshed. Judging from
appearances the strike promises to remain
cffectIve until settlement satisfactory
TO organized labor is reached. Any gen
eral effort OF the part Of operators in any
locality to start work with new labor
under civil or military protection inevitably
would result in spreading the movement to
thetransportatiop lines 1t begins TO dawn
npon the public that the present strike is
very thoroughly backed by practically all
the trades unions OF the country, and In
default of an early settlement there is
an uncomfortable prospect that it will not
be confined to the coal interest.

The Passing of Civilization. .

More than ever, the wise men say,
In eighteen hundred and ninety seven,
The devil is having his wicked way,
And pushing his forces nearer heaven.
Dead is Thermopylae: brutal Turks
Swarm in the vale VS. and fields of Greece;
And "Christian Europe" looks on and shirks
The only path to an honest peace.
Westward the armies and fleets of Spain
Sail to an island fair to see,
Where women and children and aged men
Are killed for their love OF liberty.
Daily, hourly, with guns and knives,
Torture, and hunger, the slaughter speeds;
There, SO near TO our mothers and wives,
Look on the list Of unspeakable deeds.
Rrawn and brain of our own have made
In the broad Pacific tiny state
A shining few in The heather shade
To light and liberty jc0nsec ecrate.
