EFFECTiYELY NOMINATED.

The Hartford Times sees in what is
going on in greater New York way
of escape from boss rule. 1t thinks
that at last an effective way has been
found in which honest men can put up
a candidate for a municipal office and
escape the limitation of a mere choice
between the representatives of two po-
litical machines. In New York an in
dependent organization of citizens, call
ed the Citizens Union, made up of adj
herents of the various national parties
and of men belonging to no party at ali,
has undertaken to make the Hon. Seth
Low the first mayor of the great new
municipality, with no other platform
at the outset than Mr.. Lows well
known public record in the office of
mayor of Brooklyn, in the presidency
of Columbia University, and in much
other service in which he has at all
times shown himself to be an able
business man and a wise and careful
public administrator Up to the pres
ent time nearly $4,000 voters in Greater
New York have signed in favor of Mr..
Low, and as the enrolment is going on
at the rate of between two and three
thousand day, the aggregate will soon
exceed 100000.
1t does not now look as if this re-
D1arkable expression of opinion would
cause the Republican machine to nom
mate Mr.. Low, but it is certain that he
has already been very effectively nomi-
mated. The new way of nominating is
worth attention in other cities which
are suffering from boss rule and which
have no hope of relief from either of
the regular political machines

THE aspiring NEGRO.

Well, we'll! These negroes are look
ing up. They are openly saying that
they are not in politics for their health
and that they want their share Of the
offices. And they are getting some of
the offices, though it will probably be
some time before they will be able to
persuade their white brethren, who are
also not in politics for their health to
divide fairly with them. But better
and more important than their asnira-
lions and success in politics is the
progress they are making in industry.
They are becoming useful, or indispen-
sable, in southern cotton mills. And
there is complaint there that they are
rapidly filling the trades. The Augusta
(Georgia) Chronicle says that as car
penters, bricklayers, plasterers, black
smiths, wheelwrights, they are growing
more plentiful, and making it more
and more difficult for white men to
prosper in those fields of labor, and it
adds: A glance at the white schools
and the negro schools of the South will
show that the negro schools are teach
ing their pupils more of the practical
needs of life, and fitting them to earn
a livelihood better than the white
schools are. For every white techno-
logical school the negroes have half a
dozen, with chronological and industrial
features. Every year young men are

FASHION NOTES.
Two Small House Dresses.

Both serviceable and pretty were the
two dresses pictured below, each trim
med simply and effectively, with wise
avoidance of that elaboration which if
carried too far will make child look
like show window doll. The smaller
one was old rose crepon, made in sim
pie skirt and blouse waist, and having
belt and stock collar of the goods. In
place of crepon, read any seasonable
material, and china silk or foulard
would be especially pretty. For orna-
mentation there was worn over the
gown a pretty apron of biscuit colored
foulard, pointed in front and having a
gathered bib and bretelles buttoning to

How to keep warm in the Klondike is
told by an old whaler who has had
experience in that region. He says: I
wore flannel underwear next to the
skin; then suit of underwear made
of the skin of caribou, tanned with the
hair on by the Esquimaux, and worn
with the fur inside; then sealskin trous-
ers, and sealskin or a reindeer skin
overcoat, with big hood for the head !;
wooden mittens, with waterproof seal
skin mittens over them; heavy wooden
hose and waterproof sealskin boots that
came up to the knees of the thighs. We
lined our boots with moss which the
Esquimaux brought us. With clothing
such as / have described one can live
comfortably when the temperature is
60 below zero. The cold is dry, and on
a still day, when no wind was blowing,
] have lain on an ice pack twenty-four
hours and shot walruses when the tenn
perature was so below zero. But, of
course, one feels the cold and must
guard against it all the time

The mesquite bean is an excellent
substitute for coffee, and has long been
used by the Mexicans to make a bev-
erage in every way similar to coffee.
This fact led to the organization of a
company three years ago, composed of
San Antonio and st. Louis men, whose
object was to gather the bean and put
it on the market, mixing it with coffee
beans. A drought set in just at that
time, and there was such a scarcity of
mesquite beans that the enterprise was
abandoned. Now that bountiful crop
OF these beans is assured, the project
has been revived, and the experiment
will be tried as soon as the beans are
ripe. There are several million bushels
of these beans in southwest Texas.
which are to be had for the gathering.

The Erie canal is making poor
showing this season with the grain
business as compared with the rail-
roads. Rates Of freight have been sue
cessively reduced until, the boatmen
cay, there is no money in the business:
and still there has been a large falling
off in the grain movement as compared
with last year. The total receipts Of
all kinds of grain at New York by canal
from the first of May to the end Of July
were only S,oO8700 bushels, as compared
with 14,563,550 bushels during the same
months last year. In the same period.
however the receipts by rail were 49,
557,384 bushels this year, as compared
with 22,248,695 bushels last year.
The explanation is that rail rates have
been cut more than the canal rates
could be.
