is no limit set upon the material to use,
for one finds simple wool delaine, chal-
lis yelling and cashmere as often as the
silks and velvets Velvet and plush,
brocade and figured silks, all have their
times and seasons, but for ordinary oc-
casions the softer and lighter stuffs are
in better taste. The pompadour silks,
the figured taffetas and the light bro
cades and soft pongees are all lovely
when daintily made with their natural
accessories, lace and ribbons. One great
showing was made today Of tea gowns
alone. There was something to suit
every ones taste. A pretty faint blue
nuns yelling had full founce all
around the bottom of ivory colored
ierre lace. This fell over a shirred
ruffie of liberty silk Of the same shade
as the yelling. The front opened over a
plating of pale pink silk, with cas-
cades of lace down each side. The col
lar was mass of lace with a pale pink
and pale blue bow placed one on each
side. The sleeves were what was once
called CANCEL They were short on
the front of the arm, reaching but little
below the elbow, while in the back they
hung nearly to the bottom of the skirt.
They were bordered by full ruff1e of 5
inch lierre lace This whole, simple
little tea gown reminded one of the
olden times There was, of course, the
regulation vatican plait in the back.
Another was of striped pompadour
silk in the pale pinks, blues, creams and
green's which belong to those particu-
lar silks. The form was the same, a
vatican back, with princess side forms
and loose front hanging from the neck.
The front of this was of ivory colored
silk fish net over pink taffetas and thick
ly embroidered with pink wax pearls
in very small sizes. Across the foot was
ruffie of ivory lierre put on SO full
that it fairly stuck out straight. The
neck was finished in much the same
way. The sleeves had little putfs at the
top of the pompadour and bishop sleeves
of taffeta and fish net. There was a
thick rope of wax pearls, with fancy
tassels at the ends passed around the
waist, but under the vatican The
daintiest and most delicate of all the
lot to my taste was one of cream COL
ored silk in pattern where there was
satiny stripe with fulled stripe,
something like seersucker in appear
ance. This had full vest in blouse
form of sulphur colored crepe hsse over
pale pink taffeta. Around the bottom
was a inch lace hounce. The neck was
finished with an enormous ruff of crepe
lisse, tied with pink bow The sleeves
had a moderately sized puff to the elbow
and were of the pink covered with the
crepe lsse. There were ruffies of lace
Is inches deep at the back graduated
to 6 inches in front. This gave won
derful lightness and grace to the whole
One could go ON talking an hour and
yet not tell the half of the beauties of
the tea gowns, SO let us stop now and
say word for the beautiful new petit
coats. These are Of taffeta of the most
exquisitely beautiful colors and designs,
and. alas! as often of ugly plaids and
all sorts of violent arrangement of the

should he fail to succeed 1t is true
saying that a man before he succeeds in
business must expect to measure his
height on the ground a time or two
But it is not necessary that in his first
knockdown he should be knocked out,
But there is another and more inn
portant fact which the young man
away from the large cities does not
realize. 1t is that the number OF posi-
BILE positions in the large cities is not
increasing, despite the reiterated asser-
tions constantly made to the contrary
The very opposite is the truth Various
causes explain this-higher taxes, high
er prices of lots. or lack of building
room, labor strikes and lower cost Of
production. The manufacturing inter-
ests of this country are constantly tend
ing toward the smaller cities and away
from the centers And this means fewer
positions, since only in rare instances
does the executive branch of business
call for larger number Of employees
than does the manufacturing side.
Strange as the change Of current may
seem, it is nevertheless fact that the
young man who today leaves a good
sized city of actual manufacturing ad-
vantages turns his back on what In
few years will be one of the industrial
beehives of America "

HOMEMADE ELECTRICITY.
Some Simple Methods by Which It May
BE Generated.

BE Generated.
It has been discovered that if steel
knife and a silver fork be inserted in a
large orange an electric current will be
generated If the end of the fork and
the end of the knife sticking from the
orange be connected with an electric
measuring instrument, quite percepti-
BILE current will be found to pass The
same kind of a battery may be made by
substituting cucumber for the orange
In fact, any acid fruit may be used.
In order to make voltaic pile it is
only necessary to procure ten or more
pieces of zinc about an inch square, the
same number of pieces of copper and a
like number of pieces of paper The
paper should be thoroughly soaked in
vinegar.
First take a piece of zinc On it
place a piece of vinegar soaked paper,
then put on piece of copper, then a
piece of paper, then another zinc and
then paper, and SO on until all the
pieces of zinc, copper and paper have
been used 1t is important that piece

of copper on the other After the pile is
completed again soak the whole slight
ly in vinegar. then clean it off on the
outside
If the forefinger of one hand be held
against one end and the forefnger of
the other hand be held on the other end
of the pile, quite perceptible current
will be felt Ii several persons clasp
hands and the persons on each end of
the line touch the voltaic pile, the cur
rent will flow through the bodies of all
those in position
The thermopile is another electrical
current producer that may be made in
any household at trifiing expense
The electric current is generated in this
case by heat, and anything from can
die to a live coal may be used to pro-
duce the heat Take lot of German
silver and copper wire and cut it into
six inch lengths Then take German
silver length and copper length and
twist the ends together You will have

another length of German silver wire
and twist one end of it tightly around
the copper end OF the Y Continue the
process until you have long succession
of what might be called WIS or double
V's arranged with alternate pieces of
copper and German silver wire
Now take two large curtain rings.
Bend your string Of wire lengths until it
has assumed the position of star and
clamp it between the two curtain rings
One end of the string of wires should
be copper and the other German silver
You will find when these are clamped
between the curtain rings that the in

Observations ON the Decline of Street Car
Ma1uara Tn the Soukh


Observations ON the Decline of Street Car
Manners In the South.
It cannot be concealed that there is q
growing tendency, even in the south,
where masculine gallantry has held out
longest, on the part of men to let wom-
en- in the street cars shift for themselves
It has not come to that point yet, but
the movement is growing in that direc-
tion.
It is fact that men are rapidly fail
ing in the courtesy which was once uni
formly shown to women, and the rea-
son, to large extent, is that men are
meeting women as competitors in all
fields of labor, and this fact vastly
changes the social relations between the
sexes. Women are claiming all sorts Of
equality with men, moral, political
and physical, and are declaring more
and more their independence. The effect
on the next generation will be very
marked and peculiar The men and wo-
men of the present are affected to an
overpowering extent by the influence Of
old ideas and training, and that Is the
ners and social ethics in their relations
to the sexes, but in the year 1880, or
the period of one generation from the
present time, people will no longer con-
Germ themselves about such matters
The greater the number of women at
work in proportion to the men the more
stringent the competition, and it can
easily be seen that, according to the fig
ures shown, the day might come when
there would be no street car manners,
but every individual would look out
for himself or herself, as the case may
be. But even should chiYalry he extin-
guished from human manners there
will always remain the Christian grace
of charity, so in the time to come able
bodied young men and women who
have seats in the cars will rise to give
their places to old men and women and
to others who may be sick or disabled.

The decision resulted from a protest by
the driver of Riley c., who claimed that
he had! been crowded out by Mccoy.
When the announcement was made
from the judges stand, Tom Mccoy
threw aside his whip and refused to
drive Freddie K. around the course for
another heat. AS about 81 500 had been
bet on the result, there was sulphurous
wrath among Mr. NIcCoy's friends and
others who were sporting the speedy
black.
The judges were B. F. Derman. Mr..
Nye, of ogden, and Brig Jensen, and it
is claimed by Mr.. McCoy's friends that
the decision resulted from an ancient
grudge Of Jensen'S against Mac.
The race began with a victory for
Riley c. who took the first heat with
ease in 1711E. Freddie K. then reversed
things by cleverly reaping the second
heat, and garnering the third one still
more easily. Corey's claim of foul
was not made for several minutes after
the termination of this heat. and when
it did come there we're indignant and
jeering protests among the spectators

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Counterfeit Money Manufactured In
a Pennsylvania Prison.

Pbttsburg, Oct 1S-warden E. S.
Wright of the 9Riverside penitentiary
has discovered that convicts have been
manufacturing counterfeit 50-cent
pieces. He has unearthed the metal
from the queer" money that was
made and the noulds in which it was
cast. The counterfeits are magnificent
specimens of the coiner's art The
die from which they were made is al
most perfect and the milling of the
coins, which is the governments chief
protection of metal money from those
who would initiate it, is as near perfect
as it is possible for human ingenuity to
make it. That such coins could be
made Within the walls of the Riverside
penitentiary with the crude nipple
ments to be obtained by the prisoners
is startling.
The counterfeiters had already Sc
cured a connection with outside par
ties and some of the bad money is now
in circulation. Warden Wright has a

persons supposed to be connected with
the counterfetting, and when the full

William j. Bryan is in favor of Henry

address in Evansville and afterwards
he was interviewed on the situation in
New York According TO the paper

asked and the reply he made:
DO You think Henry George will be
elected mayor of Greater New York?'
I think he has a splendid chance Of
being the next mayor of New York
