France More Defiant.

PARIS, Oct. ga remarkable change
has come over French opinion on the
Fashoda question during the last As
hours. The attitude of the public is
more infiamed and more defiant This

press, but more to the threatening spirit
of the British chancellor of the exche-
quer. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, which
the Autocrite calls "provocation that is
almost threat OF war
The municipal council of Paris is
abused OH all sides for exhorting the
government to avert war. In govern
ment circles the disposition seems to be

Kidney disease IS the enemy we
have most to fear as a result of the
feverish restlessness of our much
vaunted modern civilization. 1t is
a treacherous enemy, working out
its deadly effect under cover OF the
most trihiug symptoms. The first
indication of c. arges in the urine,
frequent headaches, digestive
troubles, should be the signal for
promot remedial measures. Prick.
Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy OF
superlative merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly
relieves the aching or soreness that
always appears in the advanced
stage, checks the progress OF the
disease and through its excellent
cleaning and regulating effect IN
the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy
glow of vigorous health. Sold by

TAMMANY's POSITION,
Croker Says 1t Is Not Planning to
Smash Silver Issue.

Chicago, November I'm re,
gard to a story from New York
that Tammany Hall is planning tC
smash the free silver forces, Rich
ard Croker said tonight:
"There is no truth in that story.
Nobody has been authorized by the
Tammany organization to make
any canyass or to throw out any
'feelers. The Tammany organiza-
tion is not backing anybody as a
candidate for speaker of the house
Of representatives at Washington.
I presume that a good many of the
democratic congressman from New
York will support Mr.. Bailey of
Texas, and that others will support
Judge Richardson.l
"The Tammany organization has
not mapped out any plan of cam
paign with view to what may
happen in 1900 I do not know
whether silver as an issue is dead
or not. All I know is that silver
had nothing to do with the cam.
naigu we have just finished in New
York AS for 1900, we shall do
what we ought to do when the
time comes.

There arrived here today a dozen

down all the old poles of the tele-
phone company and place new ones
in their stead and renew rotten
cross arms, wires and other fixings
about the line, thus making it
practically new.
In addition to this the company
has sent Mr.. Montgomery, line

hr. Brown keep the long distance

That the exchange is growing in
Importance here, we only have to
say that orders are now booked for
IA additional phones in the city and
the exchange has been growing for
quite awhile.
Our people have no reason to
complain at the service they have
been receiving for the exchange is
served by three deserving accomo-
dating ladies, who are ever on the
alert to give quick service and, we
are pleased to say, seldom ever lose
their temper, though the provo
cations are many that they con-
tend with, many of which the sub
scribers of even temper, know moth
ing about.
We are truly glad to know that
the company will re-luyenate the

continuance of the patronage they
are now receiving, besides that
which they will naturally build up

Ice More Slippery Than Gla...

Ice has the property-peculiar to bodies
which expand on freezing-of liquefying
under pressure and solidifyng again when
the pressure has been removed. Conse-
quently the weight of any body moving
upon sheet of ice causes the formation of
q thin layer of water which separates it
from the ice, and thus, by reducing the
friction to minimum, enables it to move
smoothly over the surface. e., makes
the loo more slippery" On glass, on the
contrary, this liquid medium Is wanting,
so that the two solid and unyielding bodies
come into actual physical contact, causing
q friction which, In spite of the smooth
ness of the glass, considerably retards the
motion of the body. If two smooth sheets
of glass be taken and few drops of water
sprinkled over the one and the other placed
above it, thin layer Of water will be
formed, and until this layer has been
pressed out the upper glass will move on
the other as smoothly as II on ice. This
peculiar property of ice Is due to the effect
of pressure in lowering the freezing point
of water. SO that whenever ice Is subjected
to great pressure it partially melts.-Ex-
change.

AN ATTRACTIVE COOK.
A Style Of Dress That viii Add Relish
to Any Dish.

To this Woman's Home Companion Sallie
Joy White contributes a series of papers on
Cookery For Girls, advising the would
be cook To put on this neat and dainty
costume: "Wear big aprons-regular pin
azores that button in the back and have
long sleeves, full bishop sleeves that will
go on over any dress, and that are held
around the wrists by elastic cord that may
be slipped out when the apron is laun-
dered. This pinafore is usually made Of
white or some pretty print, light colored,
because it looks fresher and Is just as easy
TO launder as a dark one This cooking
apron should be worn for no other purpose.
You can see for yourself how much nicer
10 is to come to your work of preparing
delicate dishes with an apron which you
have not worn while sweeping or doing
any other work that would mean getting
dust particles in it, even with great care.
With the apron is worn a pretty little cap
made from muslin or from pocket hand
kerchief. This keeps the flying particles OF
flour from settling in the hair, and it also
keeps the hair in place Then pinned TO
one side is a small hand towel, and TO the
other holder on a long tape.
"You know how often the fingers need
wiping while you are doing even the sim
plest bit OF cookery. If you have TO step To
the towel rack every time you take many
unnecessary steps. Then you know what
a habit unattached holders have of getting
mislaid, slipping out of sight just when
they are needed Sometimes you can't
stop to hunt them up, and then you make
shift with anything and perhaps burn your
fingers Well, If you have the towel and
holder fastened to the belt of your apron,
you don't have to cross the kitchen TO use
one, and the other can't get away from
you.
"Let me tell you something, girls-this
dress Is "a very becoming one, and you
needn't be afraid to let any one sec you in
the cooking cap and apron. My word for
it, any dish you may cook will be relished
when you wear this sort Of costume in its
preparation, for in itself 1t suggests neat
ness, daintiness and all the rest that goes
to mako dishes tempting and appetizing. !"
