In the early days of railroad con
struction, third rail would have
seemed as superfluous as the fifth
wheel of a coach. The third rail is
now declared by the president of one of
the biggest and best railroad systems
IN the country to be very important
factor in the development of railroad
TRAFFIC by electricity. This arrange
ment is now in operation between
Hartford and New Britain. and is
proving very successful.

If the Berlner patent was delayed
through fraud, as the courts have de-
cided, it was through a gross inefi-
cheney, utterly inexcusable. No patent
protection at all would be preferable
to one likely to double the life of a
burdensome monopoly.

Once the Dinner Pail. Now the Soup Plate.

The popular free-trade cry against
the Dingley bill was that it taxed the
workingman's tin dinner pail ii the
entire tinware of the country had
fallen about Democratic ears they
couldn't have been more dumbfounded
than by the actual results. American
tinware today, which five years aSo
they said could not be made in TINS
country in competition with Wales, Is
in greater demand than the foreign ar
ticle, and the average consumer does
not remember that he has paid any
more for it. No, the free-traders are
rot saying anything about the taxed
dinner pail, which has scarcely been
well filed since the Democrats got &
chance to juggle with the tariff, but
with equal faulty have turned their
attention to the soup plate. OF course
they make no mention of the SOUP
kitchens it was necessary for charity 10
establish when the effects of the deficit
tariff began to be felt, nor do they al
lude to the probability that under the
proposed tariff law the soup plate will
not be the only article of table furniture
in actual use. They are content with
bowling their souls down in grief be-
cause the Republicans want tariff
which shall keep a japanese clad in
breech cloth and subsisting on cents
worth of rice from taking the work
away from the American potter, who
tries to live and bring up his family like
white folks. There are, undoubtedly,
people who rather than contribute a
mill per plate, if that be necessary, as
it probably won't be, would give to the
heather the work which Americans
need, but their number is not large and
their influence is waning. The country
is sick and tired of their penny wise,
pound foolish theories.

Prof. Wilson of national deficit fame
is chucklins over the assumption that
the country can't get sufficient revenue
from a protective tariff, and cites the
Senate bill in support Of the assertion.
1t was long ago demonstrated that the
country couldn't get enough revenue
from the Wilson tariff; also that if
Wilson had been given his way the
trouble would have been greatly inten-
sified. Wilson is wearisome. If he has
spark of common sense he must real
ize what an inefficient tariff busy-body
he has been, what colossal failure in
his desired role, and If he has a spark
of modesty or sense of the eternal fit
ness of things he has utterly smothered
it. His preference for the Senate as
compared with the House bill is
enough to make the country suspicious
of the revised bill,

Bathing the baby is one of the joys of
young motherhood. The mere sight and
touch of the soft, sweet. cooing Growing
little creature is solace for many sorrows
This happiness is missed if either mother
or child be sckly, weak, nervous, cross.
If either is so, il IS the mothers fault. She
has failed to keep herself well and strong
during the period of CESSATION, and the
neglect shows in her baby.
All the peculiar ills OF wonanEind are
cured by Dr. PieTce's Favoritc Prescription.
II relieves pain, all2ys inflammation, stops
debilitatiug drains strengthens and vitalizes
the organs involved Il SO perfectly pre-
paTes a woman for the time of parturition
that pain and danger are practically elm
mated. By its use perfect health is assured
for both mother and BABY 1t is the most
marvelously efficient medicine ever devised
for this purpose and the ouly one that may
be absolutely depended upon.
Mrs A,uaHda Ellison of No POO Boonville St,
(Station Al Springfield, Mo. writes: II am
your Favorite Prescription before my fourth
child was born, and go, through all right. My
first three were still born. Your advice was TO
take the Favorite Prescription and had z
much more easy time than when my FIRST child
reu weIe born. Now have two boys living and
they as tue boys as there are in Springfield.

of this Costume are OF pink silk, brocad-

Mrs. Burnett will wear feathers in her

Madeleine Cutting, Miss Gerry, Miss
Morton, John Jacob Astor, Craig Wads-
worth, James ]. Van Allen, Frederic
T. Martin, Robert B. Van Cortlandt, Lis
penard Stewart and Center Hitchcock.
Rehearsals for this quadrille are being
held every day in the ballroom at Mrs.
Astors house, in Fifth avenue.
The leader of the cotillon, according
to the best authority, is still one of the
unsettled details of the ball.
The question of precedence, it is ru.
mored, demanded Mrs. Martins con.
sideration. The gossips have it that
Mrs. Ogden Mills informed Mrs. Mar
tin that she had arranged a quadrille
for the ball and expected first place.
Mrs. Martin, it is said, remarked that
this had already been promised to Mrs
Frederic Bronson, who has the debu-
tante Louis Nv quadrille in charge.
Mrs. Mills said that if this was the case
she must withdraw her dance and de-
prive herself Of the pleasure of at
tending the ball. Thereupon Mrs.
Bradley. Martin had consultation
with Mrs. Bronson. Mrs. Bronson i'm
mediately agreed to any change agree
able to her hostess.
Mrs. Martin finally hit upon the plan
of having Mrs. Astor arrange quad
rille and lead Off, As it now stands
Mrs. Astor's quadrille will come first.
In this quadrille the dancers will be in
the costumes they have selected, with
out reference to uniformity of era.
Mrs. Ogden Mills's encroyable quadrille
will follow. The encroyable dress, it
appears, is the extreme foppishness of
the Directoire period. Mrs. Mills's
ouadrille will be very pretty and pic
turesoue. Then will follow Mrs. Bron-
sons Louis Nv quadrille. 1t cannot
properly pass as debutantes' dance,
as there are but few of this seasons
young ladies to participate. -,
Aiterward Mrs. Edmund Bayliss will
come forward with her Louis XVI
quadrille, in which some OF the most
prominent matrons OF the younger set
will dance.
