Neck Dressing.

The linen edges to be|worn turned
over dress stock or collar must be kept
immaculate to be beautiful, but with
care they give a dainty touch to a
woman's dress. In somewhat cheap
embroidery they cost 80 cents, in finer
quality with plain hemstitch sixty odd
CENTS and in finer embroidery rs cents.
Hemstitching is pretty work to be done
at home, and these simple edges have
only to be put on the binding, which is
worn inside the collar, an opening be-
ing left at the back and front of the
edge. 1t would not be difficult matter
to fashion these dainty little collar pro-
tectors from handkerchiefs having mar
row hens or embroidered edges Two
sets could be made from a single hand
kerchief with very little trouble and
comparatively small expense. A hand
kerchief accidentally torn or spotted
could be used in this way. Exchange

From Washington comes the ncws that

vations In Kansas there are about 10000
acres OF surplus lands In the Prairie Band
reserve that are likely to be subject OF
contention In the future, and there seems
10 be a growing sentiment In the tribe
favoring their sale. At the Omaha and
Winnebago agency In Nebraska the as
sumption and dissolution of the marriage
relation ut will, without form o: law, Is
common, and II Is predicted will neces-
sarily cause endless trouble. Maj. A. Il.
Woodson OF the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoes, In Oklahoma, reports: 1.-THE mother
NAV Is much In evidence among these
people. She makes herself holy terror
unless the family affairs are conducted
according to her ideas. Much of the
agents time is occupied in the settlement
of family Quarrels." Many OF the Indian
agents recommend discontinuance of the
issuance of rations and clothing and urge
the substitution OF a policy of making
cash payments to the Indians for time.
At the Green Bay agency, in Wisconsin,
the tribe Is reported as retrograding, ow-

What Is Germany's Inteutr

: A Washington special says: The
Haytian Government has asked the Uni
ted States to use its good offices for the
settlement of Its controversy with Ger
many. Ambassador White is feeling the
pulse Of the German authorities on this
phase of the subject, and IL it can be as
certained beforehand that Germany will
not reject the good offices of the United
States they will be rendered. Thus far
the United States has held aloof from the
controversy. There is no expectation that
Germany has any other designs upon
Hayti than that included In her demand
for indemnity for the alleged outrage
upon Herr Lueders. The Haytian Gov
eminent, however, has insisted that this
case has been taken as q mere pretext Tor
more aggressive action in the direction
OF an extension Of Germany's colonial
system. The administration Is reluctant
to believe that it will be called upon to
make any assertion about the application
of the so-called Monroe doctrine to the
present controversy, but State Depart
ment officials do not deny that this Gov
eminent will take a very firm stand
should Germany make any movement in
the direction of permanent occupancy OF
Haytian territory. For the purpose Of
giving an adequate protection to Ameri-
can interests, Secretary Long, after con-
sultation with the President, has direct
ed the cruiser Marblehead to make
cruise in the West Indies, stopping at
Hayti.

Fewer Failures than During Novem-

weather Puts Animation in Business
Young Girl Becomes a swindler.
A Brighter Outlook.

II. G. Dun a. Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: ''The monthly report of fail
ures shows defaultcd liabilities OF $11,-
O10, 1876 in November, against ST., IO0,-
856 last year. Because Of three large fail
ures for $3,250,0O0, not due to present
conditions, the aggregate In November
was only 81, 900 less than last year,
and, except for these, would have been
smaller than in August, September or
October. Failures for the week have been
BOG in the United States, against $40 last
year, and 20 in Canada, against % last
year" Bradstreet's says: General trade
throughout the country has presented
rather more animation, owing TO colder
weather and the approaching holidays.
While clothing, dry goods, hats, shoes and
notions, hardware and fancy groceries,
have been in a little better demand from
beth jobbers and at retail in the region
tributary to Chicago, st. Louis, Omaha,
st. Joseph, st. Paul and Kansas City,
the tendency Of business has been to
slacken. This is noticeable in iron and
steel and in further depression in cotton
goods, print cloths having made a new
low record in price. The total exports of
wheat flour included as wheaD from both
coasts of the United States and from
Montreal this week aggregate 6,699,9GO
bushels, 100000 bushels larger than last
week. Corn exports show a heavy gain
over last week, aggregating 4,5So,SO0
bushels, against 2,S69,000 bushels last

oats, rye, barley and buckwheat, have
also been very large, and the total value

PINES FOR HIS BRIDE.
Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay Yearns for the
Return of His Wife.

Dora Richardson Clay, the child wife
of the famous abolitionist, duelist, soldier
and war minister to Russia, Gen. Cassius
Marcellus Clay, has left her husband and
returned to her home in Valley View, ten
miles away on the Kentucky river.
The marriage of Gen. Clay to Dora
Richardson, dependent in his home,
which occurred Dec. ID, 1894, was great
sensation. Dora was then IA years old
and Gen. Clay, now in his S7th year, was
seventy years her senior. His relatives
made strenuous objections to the mar
rage and the general converted his mag
nificent mansion at Whitehall into reg
ular fort. He armed his army of en-
ployes on his farm with shotguns, rifles
and revolvers and planted cannon around
the place to warn off intruders. Amid
these surroundings he married his child
wife.
The years seem to have passed happily
enough to this strangely mated couple.
Gen. Clay provided for every comfort Of
his wife, carefully educating her and
treating her more like a father than a
husband. Mrs. Clay, on the other hand,
administered to his every want and antici-
pated his slightest wish. During this
time Dora's brother, "Clell' Richardson,
was overseer OF the Clay property and
made his home at the Clay mansion. But
about six months ago he and Gen. Clay
quarreled and "Clelr' left. Then Gen.
Clay went to Cincinnati to have his eyes
treated. During his absence Mamie Big
gerstaff lived at the Clay mansion to keep
Mrs. Clay company. Beaus called to see
her and Mrs. Clay for the first time since
reaching girlhood enjoyed the society Of
persons Of her own age. On the generals
return Mamie went home and Mrs. Clay
became unhappy. Three weeks ago she
went home to see her brother "Clell,"
and now Gen. Clay fears that she will re-
main away permanently. He says she is
a free agent, free to remain away or to
return, but he would give much if she
would again take up her home in the
Whitehall mansion. Unless Dora returns
to him soon it is believed the old hero
will quickly give up life's struggle, and
that the end will not be far off.
Mrs. Clay will not say whether she will
return, but states that she may go home
when she gets ready.
