dupes after this despot, who stands for
everything that Jefferson was opposed
to. Such Democrats have no more
comprehension of JeffersOnian DemOc-
racy than a Comanche Indian has of
the Lords Prayer.
Speaking of Bailey Mr. Simpson
went on, reminds me of the very inn
pOrtant question of the dress suit which
Bailey seems to be bringing to the front
in order to avoid discussing the more
important question of the duties of the
house Democrats. You know when
first came to the house they called me
the sOckless statesman and told a very
funny story of how 1 had made my
campaign on the strength Of-or rath-
err and here Jerry seemed note some
subtle connection that ratified him, cor
rather based my campaign on my lack
of hosiery.
''Wen, that was all hogwash; there
wasn't any truth in that story, but then
it seems firmly fastened in the public
mind, don't call up any way of break
ing down that impression.
Now, while I didn't come here sock
less, I did not come here a dude by any
means, and as the people of Medicine
Lodge, Kan, my constituents, are
neither wealthy nor socially first rank
ers, it was not to be imagined that I
would take kindly to the clothes of the
effete civilization. of the east.
yet, when you think of it calmly
and dispassionateIy, why should either
Bailey or I, or any other man from tie
remote sections of the Union. make
ourselves ridiculous by a strict adher-
ence to the clothing customs of our sec
ton, when we could be 50 much more
comfortable by dressing like the people
about US?
For myself I find the bicycle a. de-
HghtfuI mode of lOcOmOtiOn, and golf
stockings are the ideal wear for bicyc-
ling. Therefore I have become a wear
er of golf hose, much to the disgust of
Bailey.
Now, in Bailey's country a man
would be forced to discard the clothing
of the east that followed in any fashion
the latest fads, such, for instance, as
the plaid hose of the golfers, or the
pink shirt and blue collar of the social
light of any eastern metropolis. AS for
me-" and here Jerry's eyes beamed
with the delight of an unhOly desire, I
think these pink striped shirts are very
pretty. Bailey, how ever, would rath-

THE DRESSES WE WEAR.
Why Gowns Made at Home Lack Chic
and Smartness.


Why Gowns Made at Home Lack Chic
and Smartness.
Why is it that professional dress
makers, who are, presumably, women
of little education, and no particular
talent, can produce satisfactory gowns
with pronounced chic in cut and style
that procIaims them at once to be Gus
tom made" while the amateur, with
greater taste and cultivated artistic in
telligence and perception, should make
such abortive creations whenever she
tries to make her own dresses, is a prob
lem that is often commented upon.
Home made" gowns are certainly not as
smart as those built" by professionals,
and why not? Why cannot women of in
telligence, who have straitened in
comes, dress themselves and their
daughters without calling in extraneous
aid? 1t seems such simple thing to
do, especially in these days when the
most reliable patterns of the latest
fashions may be had almost for the ask
ing, and materials cost next to nothing.
What is it that stamps it, as it undeni-
ably does, a dress made at home, as sec
Ond-rate?
In the first place, the trademark, as
it were, is wanting in amateur work.
A dressmaker does everything by rule
and rote, but this want of technical
knowledge could be easily rectified
either by taking the trouble tolearn the
trade, which is taught in comparatively
few lessons, or by copying in detail the
construction of a gown from a good
dressmal1er's. Finish is also one of
the great essentials in which profess
SIGNALS score to advantage. Take the
wrist of an amateurs sleeve, for in
stance, and that of a professional of
good reputation. The difference is
most marked. The bottom of the skirt,
too, almost invariably betrays its or
igin, besides many other little details
dependent upon the character of the
dress. Finally, another marked diff
ference between amateur and first-cIass
professional work is in the generous
use of material. The former never
''slimps," whereas the latter, if she
makes her own gowns, obviously tries
to save every penny. In homemade
millinery, especially, this skimpiness is
very apparent. A young woman with
a pretty taste in trimming bOnnets who
could easily have half dozen hats for
the price she pays for one, confesses
naively that she is obliged to buy her
headgear and give large sums for each
CONNECTION, because she simply cannot
make up her mind-t buy much rib
bon or as many flowers as is really re-
quired.
My hats always look economical"
she declared, but when I am buying
ribbon by the yard 1 cannot bring my
self to buy enough" So this season
she pays $25 for hat that she might
easily have made herself if she would
purchase the same materials.-N. Y.

CHEERS SIGNAL A STRIKE.
Five Hundred Iron Workers Quit Be-
cause of 10 Per Cent. Cut

Pittsburg. June IA 10 per cent cut in
wages affecting all men not under the
amalgamated scale was ordered at Jones
& Laughlin's American Iron works to-
day. AS result the open hearth work
ers and some other employees, in all about
200, refused to go to work last night. The
firm employees nearly 5000 men.
The strike will probably cause a shut
down of the entire plant. The strikers
gathered about the gates of the mill and
gave three cheers. This was evidently a
signal for instantly all the men at work
except the tonnage or amalgamated men
threw down their tools and walked out of
the mill. At noon 500 men were on strike.
The night men say they will not go on
duty unless the matter is adjusted and
this will cause a general shut down as
the tonnage men cannot work without
the IaborerS.

SEARLES is FREE.
The Court Holds That the Senate Had
No Right to Probe "ais Business

No Right to Probe "His Business
Washington, June In the case of
John E. Searles, the sugar trust wit
ness. Judge Bradley this morning or
dered the jury to bring in verdict Of
acquittal, holding that the questions
asked the witness by the senate COM
mittee were not pertinent, and if so,
were not within the Jurisdiction of the
committee.
The judges opinion was exhaustive
1t had been reduced TO writing. He
pointed out that Mr.. SearIes had testi-
fed specifically that no money had been
contributed by the sugar trust to the
national campaign, or for the purpose
of influencing legislation or the election
Of United States senators. As to the
local contributions, Mr.. Searles had
TESTIFIED that he did not know how the
contributions had been used, by whom
or for what purpose.
The questions put to the defendant
We're claimed to be pertinent to the
second and third divisions of the SEN
atOr1aI inquiry, namely, as to whether
the sugar trust had contributed sums
to campaign funds with purposes of
influencing the election of a United
States senator and whether any sena-
tor had been a party to a compact with
the sugar trust. Certainly the Judge
said, simple investigation as to
ed to a campaign fund would be an IN
warranted search into the private af-
fairs of the company and plainly be-
yOnd the power of the senate The
senate committee had reported that no
testimony had been produced to show
that the sugar trust had made any con-
tributiOns to any national campaign
fund, or for the purpose of affecting
legislation. If money had gone for the
purpose OF, electing members of the
state legislature. who would in time
elect a United States senator, it was
beyond the power of the United States
senate to go behind the election of the
legislative members. If this were true
as to state matters, how much more
true was it of local elections? It would
be the widest conjecture to assume
way had gone to make up the sugar
schedule.
It appeared from the report of the
committee that they were not in the
possession of any facts upon which they
could base the most remote hope of
showing an ultimate connection be
tween the sugar trusts contributions
and the sugar schedule. Under these
circumstances, it must be held that
and if construed to be pertinent they
were an unwarranted prying into the
private affairs of the company and
therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the
senate.
Judge Bradley therefore sustained the
motion of the defense. The jury ac-
cordingly rendered a verdict of not gull
ty and Mr.. Searles was free.
The cases of e. J. Edwards and John
s. Shriver, the newspaper correspond
ents, were postponed until next Mon

BILL TOO HIGH SAYS BRICE
Former Senator Replies TO a Suit Filed
By a NeedIewOrker.

Washington, June 1.-Ex-Senator
Brice of Ohio has filed an answer to
the suit recently brought against him
by Mary W. Paxton, Il needle work
er.
Mrs. Paxton sued to recover S42s.5 50
for embroidering the Brice monogram
on a quantity of table linen The Ohio
millionaire, with his answer, makes a
tender of $2S8.62, and AYERS that only
that amount is due Mrs. Paxton.
He says there was no agreement as to
the work or price. After the articles
were delivered the sum of S2SS.62 was
rendered in settlement, but Mrs Pax
ton refused to accept that amount, de
manding S42S.50. which Mr.. Brice de-
clares to be exorbitant and excessive.
1t is said that Mrs. Brice cautiously
Informed Mrs. Paxton that the bill was
excessive, and that she would not pay
it. According to the affidavit, Mrs.
Brice then sought estimates from 9TH
ers skilled in the marking of linen, and
taking the three highest struck an aN-
erage of S2S8. So, and offered that amount
TO. Mrs. Paxton, which the latter re-
fused to accept.
