AGAINST At HOME DAYS.
Reasons why the Prevailing Custom
IL Not Wholly Agreeable.

Reasons why the Prevailing Custom
IL Not Wholly Agreeable.
It has been said that at home days
greatly restrict calling, in so far that to
return a card which bears the date Of
IN at home day upon It ON any other day
Of the week shows disregard of the at
home day and an indifference as to
whether the person called upon is at
homo or not, and any inability to return
q call on one particular day Of the week
often occasions 1t to be delayed in 3
most uncomplimentary manner, or even
to be postponed indefinitely; there
fore, endeavoring to avoid apparent
want of courtesy in one direction
brings about distinct lack Of the same
in another for which manyapologies on
some subsequent meeting have to be
made, which are rarely too cordially re-
:eived. One of the advantages, how
ever, OF this system Of allotting GER
tain day for a certain purpose is that it
leaves the other afternoons of the week
tree, and insufesf being at home with
friends and acquaintance call.
Introductions ere far oftener made on
ut home days than at afternoon at
homes, the reason for this being that
early in the afternoon one or two ladies
only usually arrive at the same time.
and this almost obliges the lady called
upon to make a Standardization, il
not IN actual one, between one or two
OF her visitors, as to render a converse
ton general between four strangers
would be next to impossible. neither
could they be allowed to remain seated
in silence while the hostess was giving
her attention to one or two of her WIS.,
itors. When, however, she makes no at
tempt to introduce any of her callers.
perhaps not considering it advisable 20
do so, they invariably take their de-
parture at the earliest possible moment,
unless two have arrived together
mother and daughter or two sisters
in which case they can talk TO each
other until their hostess is at liberty to
say few words TO them or until an ac-
quaintance or two arrives
To some people introductions occa-
sion little thought or perplexity. others
feel rather diffdent with regard to max
ing them and refrain from so doing IN
less absolutely obliged TO make the ef-
fort. II might be urged that ladies sit
ting near to each other might reason
ably exchange few words. although
not introduced. Sometimes they do so.
and little desultory conversation fol-
lows. but oftentimes they do not, and
the reason is not far 20 seek. Although
they may have got on well together.
yet at any subsequent meeting they
may not speak or even bow, they are
ignorant Of each others names, and
therefore, they remain Strangers with
an uncomfortable consciousness that
scch is not entirely the case--Phiiadel-
phis Public Ledger.

MRS. ELlzAeETH TILToN.s WILL.

Leaves . Larger Fortune Than Wa
Expected.
The will of Mrs. Elizabeth r. Tilton
will be fled for probate in few days,
and will, it is said by those aware of its
contents, prove greatsurprise.
It has been generally supposed that
when Theodore Tilton and his wife sep
arated the latter was provided with an
income that would comfortably keep
her for the rest of her days. 1t was not
known though that in addition to this
income she received bulk sum which,
combined with what subsequently came
to her from her own family and what
she saved. made up modest little for
tune. This was invested in Brooklyn
and New York real estate, which has
increased materially in value. The bulk
of her estate will go to her daughter
and goodly share to the religious sect
presided over by Rer. Malachi Taylor.
From the day of her trouble, when her
name became household word all over
the civilized world, Mrs. Tilton had not
looked at newspaper.

They Are to He Seen en- All New
Gowns.
1t is perhaps little premature to
recommend founced skirts. Several
have been made, but it seems not yet
quite certain whether the idea will take
or whether it will remain one among
the many experiments tried and
dropped every spring. This is a word
to the prudent, and having spoken it
the conscientious writer may 60 on to
describe what the dressmakers say will
be the great rage in the spring.
The founced skirt is in three stages,
or it may be in five. II the material IS
thick the Aounces are cut in godets, that
is to say, in curve, as capes used to be
cut, which, when Strengthened out,
gives fullneSs without gathers. Lay the
pattern on the cloth so that the texture
will run straight in the front and bias
on the sides. The founres are lined
with thin silk before mounting on the
skirt. Thus model is made with tho
skirt of beige cloth in three founces
It has blouse of beige mousseline de
sole brocaded with little naeander in
white, and bolero and sleeves of beige
velvet. The bolero fits close and fas-
tens invisibly, with the effect Of
yoke. Narrow white belt This gown
is made for the Riviera; for q colder
climate it may be copied in darker COL
ors.
When the founces are of thin mate
rial they may be cut straightways OF
the cloth and gathered or plated.
Thus, an all-black dinner gown has the
skirt in three plated foInces of
moussefine de sole, with q blouse of
velvet and Jet and long SHRED sleeves
of the mousseline. Attention should
be called to an innovation in this gown.
Little flaps of velvet not more than
two or two and half inches deep are
added on below the belt, carrying the
blouse down with the suggestion of
basque. They are sewed TO the skirt
so as not to add thickness round the
waist. have seen a black gown with

San Francisco, June $50 far as ex.
ternai evidences went, things were in al
improved condition at the penitentiary
at San Quentin yesterday. In place OF
the constant shrieking and bowling OF
the preceding days. the bread and wa
ter" gang kept sullen silence.
The state board OF prison directors
held special meeting and authorized
the warden to shoot down convicts II
necessary to resto1 order.
While the meeting was in progress
governor Budd telephoned to Warden
Hale and gave him explicit instructions
about handling the strikers. He told the
warden to notify the convicts that any
man who continues to be unruly from
this time will be denied the right 10
restoration to citizenship; and further.
that no striker who continued to hold
out from this date need ever apply for
executive clemency, for his application
will not even be considered. AS soon as
the meeting adjourned Warden Hale
told his subordinates to resort to ex-
treme measures.
One hundred rifles were borrowed
from the armory of Company D, at San
Rafael, and sent TO The prison. Ten ex-
ira guards were employed AMI placed on
the prison walls for the night. At S
O'Clock the captains went into the yard
and began operations.
kid alley on the side Of the prison
which contains siXty-six cells, was the
scene Of attack by the officers and forty
guards. This alley contains the boys
and young men and they made the
greatest amount OF trouble during the
strike. When the officers and guards
appeared they were cursed and hooted
as usual. Each cell from which came
sound was marked and the inmates TAX
en- out and relieved of most Of their
clothes. Captain Birlem then ordered
out the fire hose. The nozzle was poked
into the wicket OF each cell and the con-
victs were thoroughly drenched.
This operation was continued until s
o'clock and finally the yelling and ours
ing ceased. 1t is proposed I o send

WHITE PINE LUMBER.


Cost Of Its Production in This Coun.
try and Canada.
Complying with a resolution of the
senate the commissioner of labor has
sent to that body a statement showing
the difference between the cost of pro-
ducing white pine lumber in the United
States and Canada. The report shows
that while the average wages in saw
mills in the United States is SIN per
day and in Canada $1.41, the average
labor cost of LOCO feet Of lumber is 81
cents in this country to s1.23 in Canada.
This discrepancy is due to the fact that
the improved machinery used in this
country enables each laborer to accom-.
plish more than in Canada.

Chicago, Aug. 2l.--"Dollar wheat"
was reached on the Chicago Board of
Trade to-day. The floor and CALLER
les of the big Exchange hall were
packed with bowling mob, in which
were distinguished the cries of the
vanquished and the exultant yells of
the victorious.

lowed some wheat to change hands.

ing song, when the most sensational
day since 1891 closed, September
wheat had dropped to 99ac bushel-
The bulls did not have brass band
present to mark the advance in wheat,
but they celebrated in manner that
would have put the best trombone
blower to shame.
