Convenient isuttOnhoIc Cutter.

Women who have been fastening
their clothes with pins because they
could not cut buttonholes have no
longer IN excuse for their habit, which
savOrs of untiliness, besides being de-
cidcdly inconvenient There have been
shown on the counters of some of the
department stores this week samples
of little continuance which Obviates
all difficulties and most of the labor
OF the buttonhoIe cutting. 1t has
been called an ideal buttonhole cut
ter. and Judging by the ease with
which work is performed with this
wonderful little instrument it is not
a misnOmer. The woman whose du
ties necessitatn the making of button
holes in all kinds of garments, from
the sheer dimity robes of the baby to
the heaviest clothes worn by the man
OF the house, can have at her disposal
an article that will cut quickly and ac
cIrately And she does not have to
lift, haul. turn, measure. or fold as she
used to when scissors were the only
means.
For generations past the average
woman has been cutting buttonholes
by jabbing the point of the scissors
into the cloth. after which she trimmed
OF the rawlings and bound the incis-
ions of various shapes and sizes. Then
DuttonhOle scissors were adopted but
even they are primitive in comparison
with the latest invention in that line
The new CATER is simple and easily
understood. 1t consists of a circle of
steel from which project four blades of
well-tempered and ground raZor-steel
These blades are of different sizes. ard
with them can Ec made holes to fit
any sized buttons. The circle of blades
is regulated by means of spring.
which. when pulled outwards, allows
the wheel to revolve until the desired

it is held firmly in place by dropping

But his music was too good:
So round about him once they filed.
Till, by the melody beguiled,
They sat them softly down and smiled,
As only tigers could.
And thus beguiled. those tigers smiled
Throughout the liveiong day.
Until, at length, there was not left
Another tune to play.

Washington, March 24.-The dinner

house resolved itself into an important
conference on the policy to be pursued
by this party with reference to the Ding

enactment Of the bill into a law. This
has been known to be the policy of n
majority of the silver republicans, but
they had not hitherto agreed upon this
line OF action in concert. No formal
resolution was adopted last night, but
the expression Of opinion was so general
as to leave nc Don for doubt as TO the

The accidents that aStOnish railroad
men are those that happen without hurt
ing anybody. Such Il mishap occurred
to the Lake Shore ficr from Cleveland
coming into Chicago one Saturday
morning. a steel tire slipped from one
Of the driving wheels of the engine
with the train going at full speed. This
was extraordinary. but that it should
slip off the wheel over the connecting
rod and fall clear of the track instead
of wrecking the train was simply mirac-
ulous.
The driving wheel rcvolvcs, say, four
times every second, covering that same
second so feet of the rail. Fracture the
tire with its deep inner flange, made to
keep it on the rail, and try. with that
big connecting rod rising and falling
two feet every quarter of Il second and
the broken tire rolling so feet every sec
ond, to make the tire fall off the wheel
and over the connecting rod SO it shall
drop clear Of the wheel, the rod, the
rail and the train.
This could not happen once in 49,.
900, 900 times. Yet on tho Lake Shore

very thing, and the passengers, instead

W propose 10 build up the industry
o: sugar growing and thus devote to that
great industry many tens Of thousands Of
acres of the rich land OF the United
States, and take that land out of compe-
tition with the farm.
The policy Of this bill has been and
is. and will be, if il should pass into law.
10 give 10 the labor the degree OF EN-
ployment in the United States which will
cause 10 be expended for such products
OF The soil, OF the mine, of the shop and
of the factory that we can produce in the
United States on equal terms with the
foreign producer.
I'VE propose that this country shall
put itself on n wal footing for the pur-
pose Of maintaining itself. We propose
thai it shall be in a position to produce
lis own sugar and its own wool. and its
commodities OF every character that God.
in His wisdom, has made it possible to
produce in this continent"
Then. turning aside from a discussion
Of the merits Of the tariff, Mr.. Grosvenor
reviewed and criticised in scathing terms
the history and attitude of the demo-
cratic party on national issues, while he
commended in warm terms the record of
the republicans on these matters. In ON
~clusion he said: And. my countrymen,
in this hour the republican party is call
ed upon by voices that sound out OF all
the memories of the past, and sound out
of all the teachings Of today to stand by
The principles OF its party, and give to
the country this enactment. give to the
country this Dingley law.
Il congratulate my distinguished lead
er that his name is TO be associated with

name has been forever linked with his
emancipation proclamation. McKinley's
name has been forever linked with the
Mckinley law. and Dingley's name shall
go sounding down the corridors OF time
as the champion OF the law that. after the
great struggle in 1896, brought back the
country to prosperity and peace.
1T is our duty and advantage, my re-
publican friends to participate in this
great battle. Do not be misled by the
attacks OF the enemies on this law. Stand
together. Stand for the principles of your
party, and in the coming years it will be
