1t is often a matter Of curiosity with
the observer OF feminine ways to know
why women should wear SO many orna-
ments while on the street, says the New
York Recorder. 10 see delicate little
woman, whose waist is surrounded by
an enormous belt, from which depend q
number of small bottles Of glass and
silver, watch charms, bangles and heav-
en- knows what besides, is enough to
create wonder in the mind of the unini-
dated. The habit is looked upon as a
fad Probably il is, hut an English
writer says it is something more. This
learned Britisher asserts that the Amer
lean girl carries in the little bottles
which dangle from her belt lot of qui-
nine pills. When she grows weary from
the eXertions Of a shopping tour she
takes two pills; if chilly, one pill; when
hungry, which is often the case, down
go two pills; If She gets her feet wet
she swallows an antid0te in the shape
of ten pills. This is one Of those things
which may be described as interesting
If true.

WHY NOT ON COFFINS9

Among the hungry people who
are begging congress to put high
er tax on the American people for
their special benefit, are the manu-
facturers Of quinine. This drug
that is now absolutely essential to
the health and happiness Of more
than one-half Of the American peo-
Pile, is now on the free list, and it
can be bought at retail for about 50
cents an ounce. Before it was put
on the free list the people were
compelled to pay from w to "a an
ounce for it. One Of the begging
witnesses swore that in 1879 they
got 1915 an ounce at wholesale
and now they were selling at 233
cents an ounce. What they want
is blood tax enough to enable them
to get their old rates out of the
sick people Of this country, and
they are likely to get it under the
Mckinley policy.-Dispatch.

Berlin and Vienna newspapers
say that the Russian government
proposes to Danish Tolstoi within
the next few months. The minister
of the interior is said to have been
charged with the duty of collecting
evidence against the famous novel
ist, and to haye already enough
material to condemn him from the
Russian point of view. The special
ways in which Tolstoi is supposed
to menace the state and array
class against GLASS;" are by advo-
eating freedom of religious sects
from government restrictions, and
liberty of conscience, and by de-
nouncing the paternslism or des-
potism and militarism of the
Russian system. The czar is said
to have been influenced most
strongly against Tolstoi by his
article on Persecution Of Chris
tians in Russia in 1885," which
was published in the London Times
nearly year ago, and has been
circulated in the form of a German
pamphlet throughout central Eu-
rope and some parts of Russia. The
holy synod was stirred to deep
wrath ny Tolstoi's biting criticisms
of its religious intolerance, and the
chief procurator at once presented
to the czar a strong case against
the author-reformer.

The Chicago Record, which sup
ported Mckinley, is not in harmo-
ny with the high tariff faction Of
the republican party. Yet it should
have known that republican vic
tory with the advance agent Of
prosperity" as its candidate, would
mean a Mckinley tariff. But that
paper asks the senate ways and
means committee to be good enough
to reflect that it is the public and
not the monied interests for whom
they ore paid to do their work.

The Examiner has been pub
fishing expressions of opinion of
prominent Pacific coast men about
the defeat of the funding bill. The
following is that of Mayor Pen
noyer of Portland: The defeat Of
the Funding bill is a most pro-
nounced victory for the people of
California, with the Examiner in
their lead, over the most uncon-
scionable monopoly on the Western
Hemisphere. Their fierce struggle
in this matter has been watched
with interest all over the Union,
and they deserve the most un-
stinted praise. If the Southern
Pacific can now be balked in its
efforts to have the federal govern
ment expend two millions in
building a harbor for its own
private benefit, the people Of the
whole country will be placed under
renewed obligations to the people
Of California.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS,

Postal savings banks are urgent
ly needed in the United States, and
it is admitted by those who are in
u position to know, they would
contribute materially to the con-
tentment, the confidence, the
wealth and independence Of the
people and encourage them to
thrifty and economical habits, and
also in this way they would be an
element Of strength and stability
to the government. We claim all
this, and considerable more, for
postal savings banks.
Probably there is no other one
thing that congress could do at this
term to allay the universal distrust
and discomfort among the people
than by the establishment of
postal savings banks similar to
those in operation in nearly all the
other leading countries of the
globe. The aggregate of annual
deposits in England is enormous.
There the system has been in
operation since 1851, where one in
seven of the population are depos
itors. The number of these de-
positors is over 100000, and the
amount deposited each year is
$150,000,000. 1t may interest some
of our readers to know what the
government does with this money.
The money received in deposits is
invested in government securities.
The difference between the income
of these securities and the interest
paid depositors has been more than
sufficient to pay the expenses Of
the management. 1t is the work
ing classes of Great Britain who
avail themselves OF these advan-
tages, and the popularity of the
system can be seen in the enormous
aggregate deposits between 1880
and 1894, which exceeded $780,
100000. More than a billion and
half dollars. Apply the same
system to the United Stotes, end
these figures would appear insig-
nifcant in the same length of time.
There are only 1,017 savings
l, aks in this country. while in
England there are more than 10,-
900 postoffices that receive deposits
as agencies Of the postal savings
system.
There is hardly city or town Of
considerable size in the United
States that has not had experience
with bank runs and bank collapses
during the past three years All
this would have been largely pre-
vented if the postal savings system
had been in operation. The people
would have had their small savings
safely invested in government Sc
curities, instead of hidden away in
deposit vaults, or old trunks
and stockings, or buried in the
cellars.-Exchange.

New York's Greatest Scene

! New York's famous thoroughfare,
Broadway, has been the scene Of some
wonderful events. But the one scene
which still stands as the most remark
able, in point CT enthusiasm, is Louis
Kossuth's famous ride up Broadway,
in 1851. Kossuth had already seen
and passed through crowd of500,00
people in his triumphal ride up the
great thoroughfare. The eliminating
moment, however, occurred when the
great Hungarian patriot reached le
corner Of Broadway and Ann street
The sight that burst upon him stag,
gered him for the moment. In the
open square directly before him was
nlassed together quarter Of million
OF people, and when this vast con
course broke into a united cheer Kos
suth was fairly bewidered No man
saw this great event 50 well aud ad-
vanIageously as did Parke Goodwin,
the veteran New York editor and
Kossuth's closest friend in America.
Mr.. Goodwin was with Kossuth, aud
for the first time he will now tell the
story of the marvellous event in the
February Ladies' Home journal, The
actual scene at Ann Street will also be

LOCATED BY Y RAY.
Bullet Taken from the Body of a
Child.

EAST RADFORD, VA, August a.
Special LAST spring Frank Moore,
about u years old, while carelessly hand
ling a pistol. shot his little brother, Guy.
The ball entered the thigh, but DETECTED
so the physicians were unable to locate
it. The little fellow rapidly recovered
and was soon able TO run and play, but
about month ago the muscles OF the
hin and thigh commenced to contract,
and he was drawn off to one side. The
physicians decided that this was caused
by the ball, and the only way TO save
him from being a cripple for life was
to extract the ball. They did not know
where the bail was, and the only thing
to be done was to follow the direction
of the ball with the knife. This was a
severe operation. and Il was decided to
take the child to Roanoke and see If he
ball could be located by the X-ray. His
uncle took him yesterday, and DIR.
Charles Cannaday made an examination
and discovered the bullet about six
inches below where 1t entered lying
under the muscles. The little fellow was
put under the influence of chloroform,
an incision was made. and In a few
minutes the bullet was out The child
suffered very little from the operation.
and was able to be brought home the
same day.

MISSING VIRGINIA FRITTER.
The Daughter of Virginia Farmer
MysteriOusIy Disappears.
(WashingtOn Star.

Virginia Fritter is being looked for by
the police because of a report made to
Inspector Mattingly yesterday afternoon.
Her father, Lewis A. Fritter, who lives
at Glensbrook Fairfax county, Va, told
the police that his child had been missing
since Thursday of last week, and he was
very uneasy about her.
The girl is ii years old, but rather large
for her age. Her mother is dead, and
about three weeks ago she came here
to live as a domestic i'm the family OF
William Moten, a conductor on the Metro
politan street railroad, at No 1903 Massa-
chusetts avenue. northeast.
Thursday morning of last week she left
the house and took Mr.. Moten's breakfast
to him. Dinnertime came and Virginia
was still away from home. Her continued
absence caused Mrs. Moten to become
alarmed, but she did not call in the po-
lice. preferring TO wait until her husband
returned When the incident was discuss
ed both Mr.. and Mrs. Moten agreed that
she had gone home. and a little later on
a letter of inquiry was addressed 10 her
father. The information contained in the
letter caused him much distress. Virginia
had not returned home, nor had the
father any idea Of her whereabouts.
