America" with headquarters in New York city. The ma l object of the as- sociation is to unite the men of the dry goods trade In good fellowship, It will be strictly non-political and non-sec- tarian. Among the other objects which 1t is hoped will be effected are the cultivation of closer relations between employer and employee, so as to ren- der easier a speedy adjustment of any difficulties arising from time to time between them, and also to establish a sort of bureau where employers may find deserving men to fill any situa- tion. It is also planned to establish funds for building loans, sick benefits and other beneficent purposes. An official organ will be issued by the as sociation, which will convey to the members knowledge of industrial af- fairs. The membership, 1t is said, will not be limited to New York dry goods merchants, but will be open to those engaged in the trade in any part of the United States.

the yellow metal. This sudden transi- tlon is marvellous, and places the coun- try in a condition of monetary re- source and of independence of the Eu- ropean centers which has rarely, if ever, been equalled at this season of the year. From all this, it results that, so far as confidence depends upon the condition of the treasury, there can be little occasion for misgivings for at least many months to come; and if sound measures are provided for pro- tecting the government against it's de- mand obligations the treasury may be finally erased from the category of causes of distrust.
 All of which is cheering. With the improvement of the state of the coun try the state of the individual will also improve, and he will have less to be gloomy about.

cHnMRS nE nnMEnRr.

Many have become so impressed with their own state and the state of the country that they are just about dis couraged and cannot see even a silver lining to the clouds that oyershadow them. But all is not lost, and the clouds are not as thick and dark as they seem to some eyes. The New York Journal of Commerce is not given to over-statement, and it makes a very encouraging collection of crumbs of comfort It points out that in the very midst of the struggle against the silver peril series of reliefs has been forth coming of.inestimable value. Conjoint- ly from the contraction of our i'm ports the increase of our exports of manufactures and an extraordinary foreign demand for our agricultural products at relatively high prices-the foreign exchanges were turned in our favor during the months of August to November to the extent of considerably over s1OO,0o 900 (upon all our debtor and creditor international accounts), which brought the country s7O,0OO, 900 of gold and left balance, estimated at fully $50, ,O00, 900, represented by export bills withheld from transmittal to Eu- rope As December has probably made a considerable addition to this creditor balance we find ourselves with at least $40, 100000 (possibly more) to our cred it abroad at the opening of the year, and after payment of interest due to Europe, instead of having to face a state of adverse exchange and the pros pect of several weeks of efflux of gold, conditions which almost invariably prevail during the first quarter of the year. Simultaneously with this move ment the gold balance of the treasury has risen to s1S6, ,OOO, 900, while the New York banks are. holding $77, 900 of

TWO FINISHED FACES,

Oh how they miss that old, familiar face. What old familiar face? Why the old familiar clock face that used to be. on the depot tower before 1t was looked calmly and benignly down in the daytime on the hurry and scurry streets, and it looked beamingly down in the nighttime. It was to many of the people of New Haven much like what the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire were to the bewildered Israelites. It gave them needed guidance both by day and by night. And even now, after it has been so long vanished face, on it can be seen, as they turn the corner, to look upward in habitual but vain search for the old familiar face.
 Another old familiar face has been missing for the last day or two. It is the clock face on the Yale bank build ing. This face could never fill the void made by the vanishing of the depot tower clock face, but it was a friendly and helpful face, and did something to console those who have looked so iong in vain for the other vanished face Now there is nothing at that corner to guide the bewildered people. It is to be hoped that the guidance has not been permanently withdrawn and that at least the face which looked from the bank building will soon reappear and look upon the people as of old. There would be sincere joy in many a senti- mental bosom if the old familiar face that looked so long and so helpfully from the depot tower should again make it's appearance there.

FRANCIS 4. WdLKER.

Francis A. Walker, who died yester- day, had occupied for many years the chief place among writers in this coun- try on political economy. He was a man of great learning, native ability and force. He thought clearly and spoke and wrote clearly. He won great and general respect not only as a scholar, but as a man of wisdom, com mon sense and executive ability. What ever he undertook, and he undertook much, he did we'll. As soldier, as an editor, as chief of the national bureau of statistics, superintendent of the cen sus, Indian commissioner, professor of political economy and history, and as the head of great school, he was con- spicuously successful. Few men have done more work than he, and few have done better work. In New Haven, where he lived for a time, he made the impression of a strong man and good citizen. Wherever he has lived and worked he will be long and sincerely mourned, both on account of his use fulness and his attractive personality.

Mots women dress their hair to suit
 themselves, and are wise in so doing,
 but certain methods of doing the hair have more or less fashionable vogue for time, and one pretty change IS now to be reported. It separates the central portion of the front hair from a little bang and single row of side curls. The parting is perfect all around
 and is supposed to show. The sepa- rated portion of the hair is drawn loosely into tiny knot on top of the head, pompadour lifting being secured by putting in a. pompadour comb. The lest of the hair is drawn loosely from the nape of the neck and mounted loosely on the said little knob. The hair Is waved several times between the nape of the neck and the colt oil top of the head. The tiny bang-no more than a fringe-is curled in little separate flat rings and the side locks hang in soft puffs. They may be drawn back if the effect is too conspic- uous under a hat. A great advantage of this style is that 1t gives the part rest and tends to allow the cultiva- tion of pretty gloss on the hair. It must be confessed that the beautiful gloss so cultivated now is not always the result of brushing alone. She rubs just the least bit of vaseline into the roots of the hair, then she brushes, and the gloss comes quickly. As for her brother, of course, he puts vaseline on his hair, how else that lovely gloss so essential to the appearance of a well groomed man. FLORETTE.

A very pretty dress of figured silk is shown in the accompanying picture, the goods being a handsome combina- tion of dull blue and green, the blue being in the ground and the green in the figuring. The fitted bodice was black velvet and hooked invisibly at the side. It was finished by @ very short bolero that was edged with nar- and draped fronts and a short square back. The sleeves had very small puffs and were trimmed with lace at the wrists, the same lace appearing on the collar. In back were long black velvet sash ends.

It digests most readily. l saw ill the advertisement to-day that q gentleman using only this food for breakfast, made his breakfast cost him not more than three cents. I do better than that; my break fast costs me not more than two cents, and I go till noon without anything more to eat and never felt better in my life. You can get it from Fullerton's Boston Grocery on Chapel St., or of any of the grocers on State St., near Court. feel quite safe from colds and that awful pneumonia. They say it makes blood, and from the warm, comfortable way feel these damp, chilly days, can easily believe that it is true. I want you to use it, for know you will feel so well and then wont be in daily dread of hearing that you are down with pneumonia which is so common nowadays. The very mention of it makes me Shudder.

The Wine and Spirit Gazette makes gthe bold assertion that not one in ten of the congressman who voted for the bill to exclude liquors from the capitol at Washington would have done so had it been supposed the senate would let the measure go though. And it boldly adds: And now they go home and try to square themselves with the liquor deal CTS and drinkers whose votes made them congressman. But we advise every liauor dealer and every friend of personal liberty in the land, to note the men who in this cowardly manner, voted for this bill. It makes no differ ence that they claim that they voted so for mere buncombe, knowing that the bill could not pass the senate. Their duty was to kill it in the house, if they are friends of the liquor interests. That they did not do SC shows that they are not to be trusted Mark every man of them, and begin campaign against their reelection.

The Russian minister of finance has been recently put in possession of in formation by which, 1t Is hoped, he will be able to destroy the monopoly in ker- osene oil hitherto enjoyed by American producers in Brazilian markets. The fact that the American oil is cheaper than that manufactured in Russia is conceded, but it is argued, on the other hand, that the trade is sufficiently large to justify any reasonable sacrifice to secure it. To this end it is proposed that direct line of steamers be estab- lished between either Batoum or Odes- ga, and Sac Paulo; that the price of the Russian oil never be permitted to e&ceed that of the American product, and that the oil be shipped in tin cans of an average capacity of 15 litres. The latter recommendation is based on the belief that the cans may be sold to the inhabitants for household purposes when the oil has been drawn from them.
