Prickly Heat.

The mother whose children suffer ir
not weather from prickly heat will be
glad TO know that if she will put bak-
ing soda into the water in which he,
children are bathed she may do much
toward preventing the arrival of the
irritating malady. She should not wait
until the rash appears before she adopts
this simple means to stop its progress
but may all through the summer have
soda added to the little ones bath

caution was taken none of the children

finish to the garment.
A London correspondent sends de-
scription of some of the elegant gowns
worn at Ascot which may give some
useful hints for the making of new
autumn toilets One of the prettiest
Of the many French and English crea-
tions worn was tailor made costume
of the new, handsome satin cloth, re-
sembling a ripe chestnut in shade. This
was lined with tartan taffeta silk, and
the deep skirt fiounce was set on with
a piping of the plaid, this being royal
blue, red, green and faint line of yell
low. The coat, which was directoire
pure and simple, with a long swallow
tail basque at the back, and none at
all in front, was tartan lined, but the
huge square revers were faced with
guipure applied over yellow silk AK
actly the shade of the fine stripe in the
plaid, with blouse vest to match. The
close coat sleeves were piped at inter-
walls with the plaided silk from wrist
to shoulder, with frills of the lace at
the wrists. The chic of this gown lay
in its daring, for though the combina-
tons of brilliant plaid, yellow silk and
guipure lace may sound loud, in point
Of fact the piping cord gave only the
merest effective glimpse of the tartan,
just enough, in fact, with its almost
hidden skirt and bodice Innings, to
tighten up the somberness of the deep
chestnut hued cloth.
One thing that the American woman
is doing is wearing miniatures. Per-
haps she does that TO preserve the only
part of the reputation she has abroad
which really belongs to her, that of
being a reckless money spender A
good miniature is expensive. One we'll
painted on ivory will cost SD at least,
and such a treasure to be worn must
have a worthy setting. A New York
woman recently had the miniature of
her little daughter set in a brooch with
two solid rows of jewels, one of dia-
ronds and one of pearls, around it,

AS muslin frocks, as the up-to-date
girl loves to call her summer gowns
soon become sagged and limp IN the salt
air, and scarcely survive 1ortnlSnt
hard wear at mountain or SEASIDE, the
wise woman provides herself with a
summer silk foulard, and commits no
extravaganza in so doing, as these love-
~ materials may now be bought for ~
cents a yard; and, by the way, now
much less that sounds than Oh cents a
yard.
The travelling bags of bright color,
such as green, a dull but pronounced
red, or a shade of blue not much re-
moved from the brilliant blue, that are
affected by some very smart young
women at present, can be only pass
ing fancy. A dusty midsummer journey
will hardly leave them in good condi-
ton, and to enter a car with one draws
every eye upon its owner, as they have
not yet become sufficiently common to
attract no attention.
The latest fashion news from the jew
elers is that Paris and London lapidaT-
les are making history repeat itself in
the setting forth of ear rings; not the
little drop screws and knobs SO long
worn but the pendant, Victorian orna-
ments, such as her majesty wore in her
young days, and still elects when it
pleases her. These barbaric looking ac-
cessories are no more likely to succeed
on this side the water than the Victo-
rian bonnet, which was dOnned by So
few women that wearing it rendered
them exceedingly conspicuous.
Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore, we are told, and from across the
water we have a hint of the gorgeous
wraps which will be worn next winter
at ball and opera. The summer opera
season in London is the excuse for mo-
distes to devise the most beautiful
cloaks in silks, brocades and broadcloth

gestiveness. No lesson SO emphatic
or noble has reached the nation in
many day as that which proceeds
from the promptness of this naval hero
to place his laurels at the foot of the
throne. We shall do well to lay his
example to heart, for the citation of
victory is pregnant with danger Evil
dences are not wanting, even now, that
in some quarters it fosters pride and
hegets self-confdence that would end
in forgetfulness of the true source Of
individual and national strength.
Against such presumption it behooves

CHAIRMAN FITZPATRICK TALKS.

At 1 o'clock this wednesday, morn
ing Chairman Fitzpatrick, after having
heard from a majority of the counties
of the state gives out the following
statement:
"The vote polled in the state was
very light, but not more so than I ex-
pected. The war, hard times and bust
ness interests have so much engaged
the voter that we realized months ago
our inability to get out a full vote.
This falling-out is not traceable to local
conditions, as it exists all over the
country with two OF three exceptions,
the same lack Of interest prevailed in
forty-two states which had elections
to-day.
'Apathy and indifference always af-
feet the party in power with hardly an
exception and benefits the minority
party. In Tennessee, however, the
rule is broken and republicans suffer
much greater than democrats, thus
showing dissension and disaffection in
their party in this state. Incomplete
returns from more than forty counties

lin and the entire state ticket of %, 900.
With the same ratio prevailing in other
counties the majority will reach 40, 900,
but we are not claiming so much for
the ticket. We have elected eight Of
the ten congressman and with the great
ly reduced majorities of Gibson and
Brownlow, these gentlemen will not
rest well tonight, while democrats in
the First district are claiming Brown
lows defeat.
"We have elected democrats to the
senate and the house where we had
them two years ago with one exception
and have gained nearly twenty addi-
tional members in the house and SEN
ate. We have carried counties in East
Tennessee that never went democratic

OCRATS.

To the Associated Press, Secretary
Kerr said at 1 o'clock:
"The republicans have lost control of
the house Of representatives. We will
have from 1856 to 100 members, and will
organize the house of the Fifty-sixth
congress. The majority of the opposi-
ton will be from fifteen o. twenty oVer

This is a total of 81. One district in
Delaware is doubtful, with the chances
in favor Of the Democrats"
SIN figuring a gain of three in Vir-
ginia, Secretary Kerr includes two dis
tricts which elected democratic con-
gressmen in 1896, who were unseated
by the present house.

New York, Nov. g. Returns received
in the Associated Press Office in this

that eighty-fve republicans and 1O9
democrats have certainly been elected

sentatives. The same districts two
years ago returned to the lower house

nine democrats. Based solely upon
the estimates in these districts, a re-
publican loss of twenty and q demo.

The negro soldiers of the Sixth Vir-
ginia regiment at Camp Poland refused
to obey orders from their white officers.
They were given a plain talk, which

through proper channels and, in the
meantime, to obey orders.
