is cumulative = new attrac-
tions added daily. The goods
are better than ever. The high
standard we long ago estab-
Hshed in this line is even ele-

There is a daintiness about
the embroidery of each gar
ment that denotes refinement.
There is an accuracy of fit that
made-to-order garments do not
often have. and the sewing is
SO even and carefully executed
that one can easily mistake it
for home work. And while
the garments are better, the
prices, in many cases, are
lower than ever before.

was coldly frozen out in the division Of
patronage in the present House and may be
equally unfortunate in the new one. 1t
is conceded that the other House officers
belonging to the old combine will all be
re- elected, and they are working with and
for Russell. The iatter's great weakness
is the fact that there are only three Repub-
lican members from Missouri in the new
House. There are ten in the present House.
Strange to say, however, more interest will
attach to the Democratic caucus in the new
Congress than to the Republican caucus.
This is due to che fact that the Democratic
caucus will determine the leadership of the
House minority and have an important
bearing on the Speakership in any future
Democratic Congress. 1t will also be
enlivened by a picturesque contest be
tween tie veteran Col. Isaac r. Hill OF Ohio
and H. H. Mohler Of Illinois for the posi-
ton of special Democratic employe.

Mr. Bryan of Lincoln, Neb-, is able to de-

commercial travellers, or, indeed, to enliven
with his remarkable oratory dinner given
in honor OF one OF the two great patron
saints of the Democracy. The perform
ance Of this Democratic candidate in the
last campaign was universally admitted
to be little short of marvellous, yet Mr..
Bryan was no greater after he had per-
formed this signal exploit than he was be-
fore his dramatic nomination in the Chi

less great or important now that the cam

The Senate Com mttee on Judiciary again
hung up the nomination of W, d. McHugh,

of Nebraska. This case presents one OF

Morton. OF course the silver Democrats
and Republicans, who control the Senate,
are not in any great hurry to confirm
President Cleyeland's nominations Sena-
tor Thurston is also opposed to confirma-
ton. He hopes TO have the nomination
fail, so that he can secure the selection of

attitude if McHugh had been named to
some Federal position to succeed silver

Upon examining the accompanying

weights at birth seven pounds. The first
week he loses one-half pound; the three
following weeks he gains half Il pound

weighs eight pounds By looking at the
