The Umbrella Purse.
From, tho Dl,tIoIa1,l;a Doon-a

1t Is quite true that there are women who
cannot resist purchasing some articles if
they find themselves near them with money
in their purse, or with what is still more
dangerous, with a credit account. One of
these seductive articles is the umbrella pro-
v.ded with wee coin purse that will just
hold car fares, fastened to the handle by
Stout twisted silk cords. The purse is
covered with waterproof material, like the
covering of the umbrella. 1t is a tempta-
ton to buy one and put it into instant use.
1t is very convenient not to be obliged to
explore deep-seated pocket for the
trunk which carries visiting cards, bank
notes and so forth, every time you get
into trolley. Here the little coin purse
is charming.
The owner is put into something like a
dilemma on entering a library, theater,
picture gallery or large shop, where one
is expected to check a wet umbrella The
purse VIII not be easily loosened from
the umbrella, and you will either have
to leave it, full OF dimes and pennies, to
the mercfes of the umbrella keeper or to
show your distrust Of his possible exploring
spirit by emptying out the contents and
finding some place for them about your
jacket. If you enter a house with damp
umbrella, the attendant waiter will certain
ly take your umbrella from you for safe
deposit in the stand. Bear this in mind
when you order one.

Men as House Workers.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

1t is an interesting development of the
woman-suffrage agitation that Miss Alice
Stone Blackwell, editor Of the woman's
Journal. Boston, is devoting good deal Of
her time and attention to finding situations
for men as kitchen maids. She says that
the chief difficulty she meets in the way of
getting housework for her proteges to do is
the conservatism of women. In her expert
ence there are always more young men
willing to take domestic service than there
are Yankee housewives willing to give
them a trial She affirms that it Is as hard
to convince some women that men can do
housework as It is to convince some men
that woman can be principal Of pub
lie school. But. she continues, the women
who venture upon the new departure are
sometimes rewarded by finding In it a per-
feet solution of the vexed domestic prob
lem." Mrs Isabel C. Barrows, who Ia one
of the innovators. proclaims that the young
man now doing her Homework Is the best
help she has had in thirty years. The man
giving such distinguished satisfaction Is a
college graduate, who finds his education
most useful in the kitchen.

CHICAGo's NEW BUILDING,
Gen. Niles Advice REGARDING It's
Protection.

Gen. Niles Advice Regarding It's
Protection.
If the advice of Major General Miles is
1oilowed the new federal building in chi
cago will be built in such way that it
cen neither be destroyed nor looted by
cranks or lawbreakers. The square on
which it is located is a government reser-
walton, occupied by the post office. court
house and the subtreasury. The latter con-
tains about $4,000. COO
General Miles thinks it is only proper
that the government should take measures
for the safe guarding of the interests of
the people and the vast amount of their
money in its POSSESSION.
Although he does not exactly urge the
fortifcation of the building. he thinks the
four corners Of the building should be con-
structed so as to insure its protection from
attack from an enemy or mob. He says
that no one will object to the strength
eniDg of the building except perhaps those
who may want easy access to the govern
ment's treasures

HAMMOND's SENTENCE REDUCED.
Private Soldier Who Was Maltreated
by Capt lowering.


CHICAGO. November 3.-Private Ham
mond, who was dragged by his heels before
a summary court-martial at Fort Sheridan
four weeks ago on the order Of Captain
Lowering to answer to a charge of deser-
ton. will serve but half the sentence i'm
posed on him by the court-martial. Ham,
mond was sentenced by the military court
composed of fellow-soldiers of Captain
Lowering to go to prison for a year at hard
labor and to forfeit all pay for this period.
In addition the verdict provided for the
dishonorable discharge of the private.
General Brooke. however, has reviewed
the verdict. criticised it and cut down
the punishment. AS mitigated by Cen
eral Brooke the sentence compels HAM
mond to serve in prison only six months.
His pay Is reduced by $40 month and
there is no provision for dishonorable dis
charge. that being deemed too severe by
the commander.
In his review of the case the general said
the sentence was excessive.
BY this action the stigma of dishonorable
discharge will not attach to Private Ham
mond and after he has served six months
he will be restored to his former position In
the army

average decline, excepting Sugar being
about 1-2 of per cent. The elections were
freely discussed. but there was little evil
dence of significant trading on the result

favorable influence on the trading. Rock

Traders were disposed to work in the in

the market fs entirely without competent
leadership. Within q day or two some
definite plan OF procedure may be evolved,
but at present there is no desire TO make

are not infreouently the outcome of such
indecision.
There are strong forces operating for

idea of the influence most needed The
much-discussed treasury decision on Dutch
sugars is expected within a day or two

1t may be. however, that the decision in
question will be equal to the emergency

The local market must at all events take
the initiative or abandon the hope of at

The trading of the final hour was divided
between professional selling and COMMITS

BOSTON, Mass, November 3.-Roger
Wolcott, the republican candidate, has been
elected as governor of Massachusetts by
a plurality of nearly $1,000. There are still
few remote precincts to be heard FROM
but the total vote in these districts is only
a few hundred. Revised returns show q
total vote Of 1888 for Wolcott, 1885 for
George Fred Williams, regular democratic
candidate. and IA. 129 for William Everett
the nominee of the national democrats
Wolcotts plurality last year was I54,542
nearly 1000 less than his total vote this
year.
Lack of interest, as is usual in an "off
year., accompanied by rainy weather, is
believed to explain this falling off in the
figures. The result, however. is considered
abnormal. as never before in an "off year.
has a governor received a plurality rising
$1,000 votes. 1t Is 1000 more than was
given Governor Greenhalge at the election
of 1895. the last off year, which was the
highest given any governor up to that time
since the years following the war.

SUGAR OF THE NETHERLANDS.
A Hearing Before Assistant Secretary
Howell.

A Hearing Before Assistant Secretary
Howell.
Assistant Secretary Howell gave a hear
frs today tc the Netherlands minister on
the question Of the assessment Of a coun-
tervailing duty against sugars imported
from the Netherlands. Some weeks ago the
department advised collectors OF customs
that from the evidence at hand 1t appeared
that the Netherlands government paid a
bounty on sugars produced in that country
and exported. The final liquidation of en-
tries Of these sugars was directed to sus-
pend pending a final determination of the
question.
The Netherlands minister, at the hearing
today. stated that this government paid a
bounty on all sugar produced in the coun-
try, but 1t did not pay any specific bounty
on sugar exported. The producer received
exactly the same bounty on the sugar sold
for home consumption as on that which he
exported, and hence the bounty must be
held to be paid on production and not on
expectation.
1t is not probable that decision will be
reached within the next several days.
