A Good Committee.

The Alliance was most fortunate in
having ex-Prcsident, j. |. Nermilya,
select such staunch and worthy
representatives as the following we'll
known Alliance men and successful
business men Of this state: p. Ii.
Rahilly, Thos. j. Meighcn, Hamlin v.
Poore, M. j. Costello, John. II. Ames,
and other well-knoWn men to present
the grievance OF the farmers before
the railroad and warehouse commits
sioners. The latter body by this time
has come to realize that this commit
tee is "alive" and will brook no eva
sion or menace from the mission
erS as to the matters which they bring
before them.
1t was really refresh hing to note the
vigorous manner in which the COM
mittee resented the naughty AFRO
gance of the commissioners, on the Oc
casion of their first meeting; and the
bold and defiant stand which our COM
mittee took, and their assertion Of
their manhood before those naughty
SERVANTS of the people who had up
to this time assumed the role Of mas
ters."
The atmosphere has been very
much cleared and the respectful at
tention which our committee receives
now is in marked contrast with the
naughty and digntied condescension
which marked their first meeting.

Great Interest Manifested.
Edited by j. G. HANLEY.
State Secretary.

Great interest is being manifested
by the people all over the state in the
prospect OF Il revival of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union. This
fact is established by the tremendous
volume of correspondence which is
pouring in on US, making inquiry and
seeking information along those lines.
The time is now ripe for general re-
vival OF the Old-time interest in the
movement. Time and experience
have taught the farmers of this
state the great value of an or
ganization Of this kind, and they
are not slow to respond to the
call Of the officers IN reorganiz-
ing every Alliance throughout the
state. Since the collapse Of the Alli-
ance movement four years ago there
has not been one substantial conceS-
sion or reform secured or inaugurated
in the state. But since the move
ment has started and since the State
Convention took place on Jan. 9Th to
repreSe nting the Alliance to make
certain demands on the state railroad
and warehouse commissioners. in
which the following demands have
been made: 1.-The bliShment Of
scales at points Of shipment, the re-
duction OF the freight rates to four
fifths of their present status, the re-
duction of passenger fares from three
cents per mile to two cents per mile"
The above demands have taken tan
gible shape and bills have already
been introduced in the House and
Senate covering the same.
1t now rests with the Alliance
throughout the state to fortify and
strengthen the hands Of their commit
tee by prompt and vigorous response
to the call Of the officers to reOrganiZe
the Alliances in every locality where
one existed, and the establishment of
new ones in localities where none eX-
listed. This organization can WELD a
tremendous influence for good in the
state, by each Alliance passing resolu.
tions at their first meeting recon-
mending their representatives in the
state Legislature to do all in their
power to assist in the passage of such
bills as are recommended by the Alli-
ance legislative committee. The non
political character Of our organization
commends it to nearly every country
mem Der in the legislature and many
me m bers from the cities would vote
for these measures, not because they
love the organization much but be
cause they fear it more.

AN IMPROVEMENT ON CAKES.
Bread or Crackers are Best to Eat
With Ice Cream.

DICdu VI Sid(NCAS are DCSL W Lat
With Ice Cream.
One usually sees cake served with
ice cream, but although both of
them are good separately they do
not seem to go together well. Many
people now reserve the cake to be
eaten with fruit or coffee or
lemonade, and serve small squares
OF home made bread with ice cream.
The creams and ices are so sweet III
themselves that they do not require
additional sweetening. Try bread
unbuttered (not bakers, but the
domestic article) and you will agree
that it is remarkably eft" with ice
cream or water ice. Hard water
crackers, the size of the palm of
ones hand, neither salty nor sweet,
also combine well with ice cream,
and very few Pennsylvanians will
believe that anything can be better
than Philadelphia ice cream.

Kissing on the rlouth.

In high life nobody is kissed on
the mouth. 1t is bad form and
bad hygiene. And in these days
when it is a crime to be old and
every woman over Is makes up
with gIycerine and rice powder, a
kiss anywhere on the face is a
positive annoyance. Every man
of the world knows this. That's
why he kisses his wife's back hair
and his daughter back Of the ear.
And that's why the women scent
their scalps and brush the essence
through and through the hair until
it is fluffy and fragrant.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
TWO AND A HALF INCHES.
The Right Depth for FIounces on
Wash Frocks.

Two and a half inches is the
proper depth for the tlounces on
wash summer frocks. The tlounces
are six in number and they are
placed upon the skirt in curves,
instead of straight, as formerly.
The curve is deep; for instance, the
upper flounce would be half a yard
below the waist in front, and nearly
touch the belt in the back. The
five founces below follow the same
curve, one under the other. The
space above the hem left uncovered
at the back may be filled in with
one deep founce, but this is en-
tirely optional. This method of
arrangement adds to the height of
the figure, and gives the effect of a
rounded apron or tablier in the
front.

A LOST RIVER.
Evidence of it Found at the Confluence
of Two Streams.

of Two Streams.
The recent discovery of an oak
tree, two or three feet in diameter.
fifty feet below the surface, while
sinking a we'll with drill at the
confluence of the Oneida and Seneca
rivers, is an important discovery.
1t indicates that the Oneida river
was at one time the outlet of an
immense volume of water and opens
up to our readers very interesting
geological conjectures.
The theory would seem to be
plausible that the Oneida river was
once the outlet of the great chain of
of lakes. One is reminded that
Lake Ontario is 334 feet lower than
Lake Erie. Three Rivers is 115
feet higher than Lake Ontario at
Oswego. A great depression has
taken place, unquestionably, in
conditions Immediately connected
with Lake Ontario. 1t has appar-
emily subsidized several hundred
feet, while the Oneida river has
been raised up so that to-day it is
115 feet higher than the surface of
the waters of Lake Ontario.
The waters from the great chain
of lakes must have passed from
Lake Ontario south through the
valley where the Oswego river now
runs, a reversal of the present
course of that river. At the con-
huence of the Oneida with the
OswegO this great volume of water
made its way eastward through the
Oneida.

THE IL TRIMMING.
Peculiar Corsage Harness Which is
Extremely Popular.

AS you 60 down the street notice
the letter II which is indicated on
the trimming of the corsage of
every fourth woman you meet.
This harness affair is usually Of
velvet, but occasionally of satin or
silk. The uprights only are stitched
or hooked fast to the waist. The
cross piece or bridge is loose, and
from it depends fall of lace, not
very full, which resembles a square,
low waiStcoat. The II is narrow
enough to allow the uprights to
stand straight from shoulder to
waist, and wide enough to occupy
what is usually shown of waist
coat or shirt waist when worn under
a jacket.
