Mrs. Mckinley set. the Fashion.

All the femininity OF any consequence
in Washington are wearing their hair
cropped, curled and held at either side
OF the parting by tiny combs. This Is
because Mrs. Mckinley. as the first lady
in the land, wears her hair that way,
and, OF course. should be copied. The
curls have come to be known as lad
minfstration curls." At the various
summer resorts these danes from the

The late Sir Isaac Holden, who died
recently in England at the age OF nine

was the son of working miner, and
began work himself at the age of ten,
but his thirst for knowledge led him

invented the lucifer match while teach

Ghe was thirty he had made important
inventions in wooden machinery. and
he soon became the head Of an enor-

The official figures of the work
ting in Germany for the year 1896
OF the system of compulsory CO
operative insurance have made
their appearance, and they show
the number of persons so insured
to have been 1885. 900. Of whom 3,409,-
900 were employees in shops or factories,
12,290,000 were agricultural laborers,
and SOC, 900 employees were OF the state.
The number of accidents to the insured
was 1887. of which 6.44S terminated
fatally. The expense Of the cooper y
tive system during the year was 67,-
DOC, 900 marks, or $13, 400 900. Whether
on account of the growth of the manu-
featuring Industries or for some other
reason, the number of accidental deaths
in year g larger In Germany than in
any other country Of Europe, and pre-
sumably, though there are no authentic
figures In connection with the matter.
the number of accidents not resulting
fatally Is larger In Germany than In
any other European country too. Under
the German system workingman who
pays the equivalent Of 40 cents week
for three years IL he begins before the
age Of 20, receives, ON attaining the age
of 65, the sum of SIT. The German
compulsory insurance system divides
the annual premium into three equal
parts, one paid by the workman, one
by his employer and one by the state.
In other countries in which efforts have
been made to establish the system Of
cooperative accident insurance the re-
turns have not been so favorable as In
Germany. In France, for instance,
where the number Of employees In fac
tories Is large, though not SO large as
in Germany, the total receipts from
premiums from accident insurance poll
cies last year were only about one
quarter of the sum realized In Ger
many.

Tasteful Mountaineering Gowns

Women who go into the mountains
for September and October take along
gowns especially prepared for sucn
trips. and these dresses are worth con-
sideration by those who cannot boast
such excursions. The most tasteful of
them are not unlike what women of

difference being a picturesqueness of
finish that is very attractive. Here is

decorated with white satin revers COW

"MOTHER" MCKINLEY.

The sympathy of the American peo-
pie will be with President Mckinley
and his family in the hour of mourn
ing. Mother" Mckinley has been
called away. From the fllial affection
and love always exhibited by the
President, the intensity OF his sorrow
can best be Judged. still, the depart
ure of n good. noble soul, as hers, is
not entirely a matter OF grief. Faith
knows that such, although lost to NOR
tai sight in the mists that separate
time and eternity. continue onward in
their progress toward light and per-
fiction. TO be crowned at last with
celestial glory. Mother" Mckinley
enjoyed n goodly share of life, and all
that goes towards making life truly a
success She was a devout Christian,
full Of faith and good works; to her
even the end of mortality is a triumph
over death and the grave.
Notwithstanding her lightweight
years, Mrs. Mckinley was a consplcu-
Gus figure during the recent Presi-
dental campaign and the Inaugural
tion which followed. Thousands saw
her and learned to love her at Canton,
where she assisted her daughter-in-law
in receiving and entertaining. and
later at Washington, where she re-
manned a few days. All speak of her
youthful old age, her quaint Puritanic
good humor, her sunny nature and
above all her simple faith in the all
ruling Providence. Her ambition once
was, 1t Is said, to see her son William
occupy the position of n bishop in the
Methodist church, but she accepted the
change of program that led, to the
White House instead, evidently not
because she regarded the Presidency
of the United States as more honor
able position than that Of bishop
perhaps not even more important: but
because she recognized the hand OF
God In what took place. Still the cap
ital had no charms for her. She soon
left to spend her last days under her
own roof.
The career of President Mckinley Is
another illustration of how much
children owe to parents, and particu-
larly to mothers. The number of mer
who attain lasting success in life, ex-
cept for the training of good mothers
are very few. Sacred history takes
note of the fact. and presents many
remarkable instances in which the
character of the mother is reflected ir
the children. Mother" McKinley's
home is said to have been an idea
Christian home, just such place as
is needed for the birth and rearing OF
men entrusted with great and i'm.
portant missions on earth.

A DEFENSE OF FOOTBALL.

It Is said that on one occasion, when
reproached by visitor for the bru-
tality OF fox-hunting, sport loving
Englishman made reply: I'VE all
know as how the hounds and the
horses like 1t; we are sure the hunters
like It, and no one is able to prove that
the foxes themselves don't like it."
Similar logic may he employed as to
football. The crowds in attendance
like it, the players themselves like it.

the youthful gladiators are themselves
rather fond of 1t. This, at least, is
the case with some of them.

SAINT with Mormonism of which she
talked last night Her object Is to talk
of the work of this society and stir up
additional interest In the work. Hav-
ing been among the people of that
Church for u number OF years she
knows what she Is talking about. She
charged that the missionaries mis-
represent their Church and the real
business they had in the East was to
misrepresent things as they We're there.
They denied that polygamy was prac-
ticed I'm Utah. She asserted that 1T was
and claimed to luow n city official of
Provo who was at the present time
living with his four wives. The high
teachers in the Church did not pre-
tend that they had given up the prac-
ticc but 1t was their open statement
that the practice of open polygamy
had been suspended for Il time to gain
statehood. The morals of the people
are not up to the standard of other
states. The Church give dances and
open and close them with prayer.

CHINA's POSSIBLE FATE.

To those who are conversant with
the situation in eastern Asia it appears
probable that the disintegratlon of the
vast Chinese empire Is among the
events to be looked for in the near
future, and that the occupation of
Kiao Chou island by German force
is but the first step in this direction.
Japan. with n fine touch of her own
variety of Monroe doctrine, has de-
clared that Asia should belong to the
Asiatics; but she has, of course, no
means wherewith to carry out the said
doctrine. In case the European pow
ers proceed to divide the so-called
celestial kingdom, her only course Will
be to insist upon her part of the spoiS,
and would seem to be entitled to con-
sideration, since she was the first to
demonstrate that the Chinese, though
almost countless in numbers, can offer
practically no resistance to an or
ganized attack.
1t is believed that the dislntegration
of China would meet with but little
opposition from the people of the coun-
try, with the exception of the man
darins. Their influence may be strong
enough to cause some local revolts,
but of concerted action on the part
Of the population there can be no
prospect. The character of the aver
age Chinaman Is such that as long as
he is permitted to carry on his avoca-
ton in peace he Is Indifferent to what
form of government he has; he cares
nothing for the rulers. The inhab-
itants of Hong Kong are perfectly
happy under British law, and the gath
ering of natives to places where they
can enjoy the protection of an alien
flag is taken as a proof that they
would welcome n change from auto
cratic rule. Great events seem to be
preparing in eastern Asia. But as yet
1t is difficult to foresee what the out
come Will be.
