little figures. Finish with a double
ruf1le of black satin about finger in
width.
Still more elegant and costly are the
creations in tapestry, which work Is
more in vogue than ever for the backs
and seats of chairs, as well as for cush-
ions. This autumn brings new impor-
tations rich in Vatican and Boucher
figures exquisitely wrought in quar-
ter-stftch, and though filling in" is
somewhat tedious process the centuries
have proved that in tapestry, at least,
"a thing of beauty is a Joy forever"
The pillow has, indeed, come to be
one of the most important factors In
solving the always difficult problem
of what to give men friends; and the
unique and pretty conceits in cigar rib
bons have become so popular that the
finest shops now keep supply OF the
ribbons In stock. One can buy "Har-
ward" yale" and innumerable other
brands-for it takes 100 strips to make
one cushion-atthreece cents apiece. These
are in all shades of yellow and orange,
and are catstitched together with shad-
ed yellow silk. The whole is finished
with fringe made of loops of narrow
yellow ribbon about Az inches in
length.
Special provision has also been made
for the men of yachting propensities.
On different colors (blue preferred) of
heavy Bedford cord or denim a yacht
in full sail cut out of white canvas IS
artistically appliqued. Fluffy little
white clouds are embroidered above
and swelling waves below.
There are many other new and arts
tic designs for both cushions and table
spreads in denim and the more expen-
sive corded goods, which, however, are
not to be embroidered in the old way,
but are outlined instead with q new car
nation braid oyer-handed on. Some
times a plain braid is used in combina-
ton with the carnatfon.-Chicago Rec

Levy supported Callaghan two years
ago and condoned his record.
thought we were to be spared cam
paign of misrepresentation.
Judge Callaghan is not depending
upon an open discussion through the
press and on the stump to win this
fight for him. Such discussion
would necessarily result in his dis
comfiture. Therefore it is proposed
by Judge Callaghan to make a still
hunt hand to hand canvass, and, it is
said, to use the money subscribed to
his campaign fund by interested cor
porations in attempting to buy the
election on election day.
While Mr.. Levy has been i'll public
life for years in this city. he is the
only one of the three leading candi-
dates for mayor who is not compelled
by the facts to enter this campaign
with an apology for his record.
The frequent assertion by his OppO-
nentS that Mr.. Levy should not as
pire to be mayor for the reason for
soOth that he already holds lucrative
public Office. conveys a covert insinu-
alton such as could originate only in
a sordid and debased mind. The office
of mayor is high and honorable one
where it is possible for an efficient
and conscientious man to render val
liable service to the people. and the
creature who would measure such
an ambition by the paltry few hun
dred dollars difference in salary has
not the slightest conception of the i'm
pulses which should characterize Il
man worthy to fill the mayors chair.
1t is barely possible that Mr.. Levy is
mbitiOuS-ambitiOus to serve and
win the commentator of the people
rather than be looking for a place
where he can feather his own nest
at the public expense.
Those who are disparaging Judge
Callaghan's effort ut joint discussion
with Mr.. Levy should remember that
Judge Callaghan was sadly handi-
capped in that unequal contest. He
was defending his own record.
| 1t is certainly surprising 10 the
| friends of Judge John II. Clark to
hear him charge Mr.. Levy with in
consistency on the score of having sup
ported Mr.. Callaghan two years ago
Judge Clark. having been one of the
legal advisers of the Callaghan cam
paign committee two years ago. ought
to know. as every other man who sup
ported Callaghan knew, that Mr.
Levy took no part whatever in that
campaign. Having fought the Gala
CHAN regime four years ago with Pas
chal. Mr.. Levy could hardly support
Callaghan two years later, and being
consistent he decided to take no part
whatever If Judge Clark had in
auired of Mr.. Elmendorf before he
spoke he would not have said what
he did. But how about Judge Clark
himself? He was for Callaghan two
years ago and where is he now. and
WHY? JUSTICE.

kniser to COnfscatc sagan's Estates.
From the New York Tribune.
A new feature has been added to what Is
now known in Paris as the Sagan scandal
by the announcement that the kaiser and
his government have resolved, on the death
OF the now octogenerian Duke of Talley-
rand and Sagan. either to confiscate his
immense German estates i'm Silesia, consti-
tut;ng principally in themselves or else
to transfer them to Count Archibald Tall
leyrand. who. in spite of his being a
younger brother Of the French Duke of
Dino, Is an officer in the German army.
and as such fought against the country of
his father. of his brother and Of his uncle.
in 1870. The German government may be
said to possess legal right to confiscate
the Sagan estates. for they are a fief of
the Prussian crown, which can be annulled
at any time. Located at q point not far
distant from the Russian frontier their
possession by F-enchmen would, in the es-
timation OF the court of Berlin, constitute
a grave danger. especially in the event of
a war with Russia. The kaiser. therefore,
proposes to take q leaf out of the book of
the late car. who declined to permit the
wife of Prince Hohenlohe. tine German
chancellor, to retain possession Of the vast
estates beQueathed to her by her brother.
Prince Wittenstein, in the western proy-
inces of Russia. The car took the ground
that II would rot do to have foreigners
owning property 90 near the frontier, ana
Emperor William IL apparently OF the
same opinion. 1t may ne added that the
present Duke Of Talleyrand and Sasan has
lived his entire life at the court of Berlin
where he occupies q high ONCE. and Is re-
garded as a fuli-fiedged German.

The Telephone and Railway Travel.

From the St. Louis Glcbe- Democrat
Many railroad companies are recognizing
that a large and constantly increasing re-
duction of travel ever their lines is being
caused by the use of the long-distance tel
e2hOne. Merchants have found out that il
Is possible 10 carry on business directly al
most as though face to face. by CONVERSE
ton over tie wire, so that majority of
commercial transactions which do not re.
quire personal action, the signing of con-
tracts or personal inspection, may be now
carried on almost well over the tele-
phone as by personal interviews. This,
naturally, tends more and more to lessen
purely business travel. When interviewed
en- this subject recently the head of a
large commercial house in the west said
that formerly ne was i'm the habit of going
to New York from his distant home two or
three times a month in the interest of his
firm He no longer does So He found he
was able to conduct his business in New
York By means Of the telephone which he
uses an hour or two day, and which an
swers every purpts Use OF face-to-face con-
versation He pays for his instrument sew
e:al hundred dollars a year-probably not
more than his railway fares would cost
him-but he saves four or five days every
month.
