Senate at this session, and voted
upon, if possible. AS eight out
Of the eleven members of the Com
mittee on Foreign relations are
known to favor the treaty, it look
ed like an easy matter to get the
treaty favorably reported, but it
wasn't as easy as it looked to be.
A special meeting Of the commit
tee was called, but less than a
quorum attended, and at second
meeting there was only a bare
quorum present. The Committee
will hold another meeting this
week, but it is far from certain
that it will decide to report the
treaty.
The report, by way of Europe,
that Spain and Japan are trying
to coax England to enter with
them into a triple alliance for the
purpose of whipping the United
States into keeping it's hands Off
of islands in both the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans, has not caused
anybody in Washington to lose
any sleep, and it would not even
if it were known to be true, in
stead of bit of midsummer silli-
ness on the part of its originators.
No member of the Senate en-
joyed the respect OF the newspa-
per men to a greater extent than
did the late Senator Isham G.
Harris, of Tenn, whose funeral
services were conducted in the
Senate Chamber Saturday. AL
though he always professed to de-
sire to have every newspaper man
drawn and quartered. Nevertheless
they got much useful information
out of the old gentleman-at least,
those did that who knew how to
interpret his burst of anger when
he was asked about any secret
action of the Senate or of a COM
mittee upon which he served. A
page, who had grown little fa-
milliar in his intercourse with
Senators, approached Senator
Harris one day and asked him in
a free and easy manner if the SEN
ate had decided to adjourn until
noon the next day. Turning upon
the boy with ferocious look, the
irate Senator said: eyes; and
Immediately after we adjourn to-
day, we shall proceed to hang
every--impertinent page on
the floor The page was said to
have been nearly frightened into
spasm. Notwithstanding an eff
fected gruffness of manner, Sen
ator Harris was personally popu-
lar and no man stood higher in
the political councils of his party.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence.

Still sugar! There has been
continual fight from the beginning
of the making of the tariff bill over
sugar, and it is being continued in
the conference committee, which
was in session all day Sunday.
Every Republican member Of the
conference committee has been
pledged to secresy concerning the
conference, and the Democratic
members will not be allowed to
know what is going on until an
agreement has been reached which
will be some time this week, prob
ably by Wednesday or Thursday.
The secrets of the conference have
SO far been well kept, but it has
leaked out that both sides are max
ing a fight for their sugar schedule,
but the House conference are ex-
pected to win, not only because the
original Dingley sugar schedule is
more satisfactory to the Republic
can press and the rank and file Of
the party, but because Speaker
Reed has said that the House would
never, under any circum stances,
accept the Senate sugar schedule.
There is a m;nission recommen-
dalton, but it is likely immedi-
ate adjournment will follow the
disposal of the tariff bill.
Although it was stated that $780,
600 was appropriated by Congress
for the relief of the destitute Amer
lean citizens in Cuba, that the
amount would not be a drop in the
bucket, it has turned out to be
much more than was needed. Just
as soon as the appropriation was
available, Consul General Lee was
notified to go ahead with the nee
essary expenditures, up to that
amount. Reports from Gen. Lee
were submitted to the last Cabinet
meeting, and much to the surprise
and qualification of the President
and his advisers, they showed that
although Gen. Lee had rendered
substantial aid to every distressed
citizen who needed it and would ac-
cept, and shipped a number of
them back to the United States, he
had only expended $4,000.
The pressure has been SO great
that President Mckinley has deci-
ded to modify President Cleve-
lands extension of the civil SER
vice rules, and the order is liable
to be issued any day.
1t is much easier to hatch up
a Congressional scheme than it is
to carry it through, even when
working for what is favored by a
majority. Last week, the friends

FOR THE HousEkEEPERs.

When ink is spilled upon linen, try
dipping the damaged material in pure
melted tallow. The hot tallow seems
to absorb the ink, and, after washing,
the stain will be found to have disap-
peared.
When the fingers are stained in peel
ing fruits, preparing green walnuts, or
in similar ways, dip them in strong tea,
rubbing them well with a nail brush,
and afterward wash them in warm wa
ter and the stains will disappear.
To defend ones self from the dust
and cinders from the open car window
just in front of railway passenger,
take a newspaper. fold it in rough
plaits. and fasten il fanwise to the back
of the forward seat. The newspaper re-
ceives the cinders. and the victim be-
hind is relieved.
The best pie plates are those of tin
with straight sides about an inch high,
SO there is no darger of the contents of
the pie running over. Porcelain lined
pie plates do not bake so well on the
bottom as those of tin. The old-fash-
ioned pie plate of yellow stoneware is
a mistake. 1t is responsible for the sod
den under crusts of old time pies.

FOR EVENING WEAR.

Panels and front breadths will be a
most attractive feature to the new ball
dress. The sash ends are worn very long
and wide.
The hair arrangements are more
elaborate than they used to be. All
grettes spring from twists of tulle and
generally there is tendency to dress
the hair"
Delightful boas and neck arrange
ments are made of Caterpillar" tulle,
which is very fine silk net, with dewy
substance trailed over it. Feather boas
are still in great favor and they will
tide us over to the fur season.
Ball gowns show tendency toward
undue brightness. Salmon pink Is
trimmed with sea-green tulle or mauve
velvet. Many of the bodices are cut in
graceful curves. like shells, and some
times black velvet ribbon connects the
scallops. fastening with a diamond
buckle or slide.
Black-and-white harmonies are as
much worn for evening gowns as for
street dresses. little color being intro.
duced to do away with the idea OF half
mourning, vivid red glace silk being
much used for the purpose. All even
ing frocks are frightened this fall with
magenta, apple-green or turquoise vel
vet, put on in barrel hoops" about the
bodice. The addition of a white sash
is newer than a colored waistband.

EARLY AUTUMN COSTUMES.
Pretty Dress of Light Wooden Fab

FIGS.
When the first suggestion of autumn
is in theair, and while il is yet too warm
to do much more with wraps than mere
~ carry them about. the stylish woma n
gets great deal of satisfaction out of
pretty dresses made of the lighter
WOODEN fabrics and her autumn hats
made of chip or straw in the same color
as her costume. Very elaborate dresses
made of crepe de chine with ruchings
and ruffies, puffs, insertions and edg-
ings are shown in the newest invoices
and are sometimes seen al dressy out
of-door entertainments. There is a
mania for white and the old-time swiss
muslin or organdie made up over white
or color in favorite dress. Very light
gray, blue, green or pink crepe de chine
with white silk lining is a momentary
fancy. A specially stylish costume is
of lemon yellow over white satin and
with trimming9of white lace. It is a
curious fact that some colors are so
much more dressy than others, and she
is the artistic woman who discTimi-
mates and makes her colors and combi-
nations fit the times and seasons when
they are worn.
A dress of large figured India silk is
made up with skirt perfectly plain
and with sleeves full at the shoulders
and fitting the arms below. The neck
is cut out in shield shape and filed in
with folds and ruchings of organdie
and lace. Another pretty dress is made
Of embroidered muslin. It has three
bands of wide trimming and between
these narrow lines of embroidery. The
waist is plain at the sides and back,
while the front is deliberately wrought
with vest, shoulder straps and wide
bands of embroidery set in at the shout
der seams and outlining the vest on
either side. A girdle belt is of velvet,
and over this and far down on the skirt
these side bands of embroidery extend,
making a pretty and effective trim
ming; the sleeves are made of alternate
rows of embroidery and plain material.
Fine tucks are faHorite decoration for
these materials. orga ndies, veilings, in
deed all lightweight wool, cotton or
silk fabrics may be tucked in almost
solid masses. A novelty is skirt
trimmed with tucked ruffles. These
ruffles are set on so as to outline an over
skirt design. The rufaes are about
four inches wide and each one has
three tucks above a narrow hem. There
are five of these ruffies, and as each one
is about five yards in length, the amount
of sewing necessary to produce them is
by no means trifling. Never were thin
goods and laces in such enormous de-
mand. Entire dresses are made of lace
insertion and edging, and capes, waists.
blouses and draperies representing
scores of yards of material are not I'M

WHAT is MONEY!
Subject Clearly Explained by a College
President at Farmers Convention.

Subject Clearly Explained by College
President at a Farmers Convention.
The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton Wis., Journal Of
an excellent address by President Whit
ford of Milton college before the farm
ers' convention at a recent meeting at
Milton. 1t contains some very lucid
statementsof money and of the power of
governments to fix value:
First Two separate and distinct val
ues are assigned to money, one being
the intrinsic or market value Of the ar
ticle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what is popularity
called money has only one of these
values
Second The common practice of
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles. on. commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades of them, one
having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ex-
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges. This
practice furnishes the first essential con-
dition for Z system of bimetallism.
Third Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which is
made Of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver. Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
r.o-,..,1,1 l., 4I,o-C ,,,o4o 1c
Fourth. 1.-The market value Of these
metals, not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason of which they are almost univer-
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
ey. Government or custom can add a
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used as
a medium Of exchange But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one established
by the laws Of trade, not by the edicts of
government
Fifth. Government itself cannot fix
or control the market value or price of
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money OF in the practical arts.

pei the people to circulate it great
length Of time as money of any sort.
Sixth Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than their
face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins or other money whose
market value is greater according to
their weight, unless the former are re-
deemable in the latter. Whenever a coin
shows even a slight inferiority Of its
market value to it's face value, it tends
at once to crowd out Of use even Q coin
whose two values are equivalent.
Seventh Gold has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the standard Of values
because Of its greater market value, its
less weight for q given sum of money
and it's least fiuctuation in market value
Of any Of the precious metals
Eighth Coins like silver whose
market value is less than their face val
ne, can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even III somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold The same is true Of paper
money, which has 10 appreciable mar
ket value
