answers are read, causing much merri-

~ who are preparing for an academic or
commercial career.
AT least 5000 women are in business. Fiji
ty-two of the eighty poor houses have
women superintendent, and all the dair-
les are managed by women.
The well-instructed woman is using
featherbone in her dresses this year for
all stiffening purposes, whether it be to
make the skirt stand out, the collar stand
up OF revers lie smoothly.
The virtues of feather-bone are so many
that the story of its perfection sounds al
most too good to be true. 1t can be OBJ
tanned in all degrees of Stiffness and while
never losing its firmness it is so flexible
that IL never breaks, 1t can be washed and
stitched through, and is so light that it
can be put into summer waists or white
petucoats. 1t is used in bodices instead of
Whalebone, and in this capacity has the
merit OF never poking up and of prevent
ing any break at the top of the corset
Many of the dresses at the Doll show
among them those of Overall Brothers
had the skirts made without stiffening
and hung over petticoats distended with
feather-bone.
The eight gowns which Mrs Mckinley
had made for the Inauguration were all
finished with feather-bone in both skirt
ana bodice, and Mrs Bryan has ordered
IL to be used in a gown which she is now
having made in Lincoln, Neb.
Mrs. Bryan's gown is a plain tailor-made
OF a changeable blue and green wool fab
ric. 1T Is lined with changeable blue and
green taffeta silk, and the hat that will be
worn with 1t will be trimmed with miroir
velvet, matching the gown and combined
with bit of something red.

Steel ornaments promise to become as
popular as they were several years ago.
fortunate is the woman who has the
habit of saving things, for she can take
out her steel ornaments of any descrip-
ton, don them, and rest assured that she
Is doing the correct thing. Steel combs are
much worn. and look well against either
dark or light hair. Velvet bands for the
neck. thickly sewed with steel, are also in
high favor.

which sounds as If 1t might do some good.
and may be easily tried. Procure a small
gimlet, and from the inside bore a hole
half way through the sole of the Shoe
This makes an outlet of escape for the
air confined between the layers of leather
of which the sole is composed, and is the
cause of this disagreeable noise.

Paris sends word that the ruff is once
more the fashion there. 1t is made gen.
orally in lisse or chiffon, very wide at the
back and decreasing in size at the front.
Some ruffs, however are of the same
width all around. The most gigantic
OF these ruffs extends to the ears and Is
finished with a f1ounce of plated chiffon
reaching to the waist. This ruff is said
to be a comfortable substitute for the fur
boa.
The SWEETEST sailor hat this season. in
white or colors, has a brilliant plaid or

If woman wishes to be at the hight
of Partisan fashion she must tilt her hat
over her nose, wear twist of tulle under
her chin, put on tightly fitting sleeves and
innumerable little frills all over her gown.
The fashionable tint for lace is that of
ripe corn, more of buff than the butter
color of last spring. 1t is exceedingly ricn
looking.

Harvest hands are getting fifty
cents day this year in grain and hay
harvest, Heretofore they have re-
ceived sevcnty-hYe cents to 81. Under
the Cleveland administration when
the Sherman act was repealed and
when Cleveland vetoed the bill to
coin the silver seigniorage, wages
went down from $40 a month for farm
hands to Sl2 and Sl5. Now they are
down TO $40 a month, and farmers are
behind in their Payments and not
many can employ. Some still believe
this change is due to the tariff, but
they must admit that there Is no pro-
tective duty on farm labor, and that
under Cleveland we were still operat-
ing under the Mckinley tariff when
wages fell, and that under the pres.
ent tariff we have made record OF a
Thousand million dollars balance Of

that his fifty cents will buy more Of

that in the seventies harvest hands

turned so far as farm labor is con-
cerned. But we must not blame the
farmers. They cannot pay more un-
der present conditions and keep pos
session Of their lands. They must
compete in the open markets of the
world with their surplus products, 10
competition with the cheapest labor
of countries that are not on the gold
standard, while they must pay debts
and taxes still on the basis of good
times prices. Taxes and the public
expenses and rates OF interest have
increase while the products Of the
soil have grown less and less ia pur-
chasing power as expressed in dollars
Public expenses, taxes, interest and
principal, life and fire insurance, all
commodities that can be put under
the operation of trust, are fixed
charges that the farmer must meet in
dollars and have not been reduced,
while the purchasing power Of his
products has been reduced. Hence
The laborer and producer must bear
the big end of the burden and go
without employment or lose their
lands. The laborer or farmer who
votes for the gold standard must re
alize that prosperity may come for
others but cannot come for him along
that line. We intend in future ar
ticle to show why dead capital cannot
be relied upon to increase prosperity
Of the masses.

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Day in the Senate.
Morgan Spoke in Support of Har-
ris' Resolution,

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Morgan occupied most of'.the time,
Saturday, in support Of the Harris
resolution relating to the Union Pa
cIfc road. He severely arraigned the
executive officials connected with the
sale of the government interest
in the road. Final action on the res
olution was not reached.
Quay made the point of no quorum
as soon as the journal had been ap-
proved. Only 40 senators answered to
their nemes, and, on motion of Jones,
of Arkansas, the sergeant-at-arms was
instructed to notify absentees that
their presence was required.
The senate conferees on the tari fl
bill were summoned from their COM
mittee room and swelled the atten-
dance to quorum. After the usual
routine business connected with the
pre- sentation of bills and memorials
the senate went into executive session.
The doors were opened at 2:30 p. m.
and Morgan then took ithe floor in
support of the Harris resolution. He
presented figures to show that the
loss to the government, if the pending
Union Pacific settlement was carried
out, would be $25 100000, and he COM
mented upon the fact that in doing
this the Union Pacific would secure
property which they p opposed to cap.
italize at 262,OOOOOO The senator
declared that the agreement for the
sale of the government interest in
the Union Pacific was in violation of
the statutes. Morgan argued that the
agreement by which the reorganiza
tion commettee would bid S45, ,000.0
lOI Jlc BONeIuuleuU luUGIGSU was CA
pressly designed to put other bids out,
as it permitted the committee to use
the Sl7 100000 sinking fund in the
treasury as part of their bid, while
other bidders had no access to this
Sl7,000,0OO. He presented series of
points showing, he said, the "mOn-
Strous fraud" and the "scheme of ex-
tortion and oppression" constituting
the "most audacious plan of railroad
wrecking ever devised"
The senator said President McKin-
ley could not afford to carry out the
agreement concerning the Union Pa
citic made by President Cleveland; he
could not afford to become the ad-
de bonis ton of an act Of
the Cleveland administration so often
sive as to wreck any man.
