MANTELPIEcE WITH BACK.

In this way the ugly iron mantel, so often found in the or dinary small fiat, may Do most success fully disguised, and if we do not care to go to tho expense of having the cas- ing in real wood, such as mahogany or walnut, it can be made in pine and stained or painted any color. 5sa
 The inoffensive wood mantelpioce may be treated in quite different fash ion, as. by making some little addition to it in the shape of back or overman- tel, it may be improved beyond recog- nition. The back should be about 12 or If inches in height, running the length of the mantelpiece, and it should finish at the top by deep molding. It may be either all one panel or it may be three, the center one forming frame for 9 mirror or sketch. For something rather moro elaborate there is again the small cabinet overmantel, which makes very pretty feature in drawing room or sitting room, as it may be used for the display of choice bits of china. It has latticed glass doors and is lined with plush or silk the color of the walls and should be made ill proportion to the mantelpiece, so that it in no way over powers but gives character to it.
 The same idea may bo turned to use- ful account in the smoking room by making tho cabinet smokers over mantel. In the center there must be a cupboard with carved wood doors, in tended for storing tho cigar boxes, which always require a dry place, and another upright cupboard of smaller size on the left side forms receptacle for tobacco pot and ash trays, while on the opposite side pipe rack and match holder are slillfully devised. It is a simple contrivance and can be made really quito ornamental as well as use full

 this way it is made a much less aggres sive feature, and the addition of small

CHECK RAIsERs' RICH HARVEST.
A Gang of Them ReapIng It In Many of the Large Cities of the West.
 Banks Warned

The banks of thIs city were notified yesterday that many checks had been stolen from letter boxes in De- troit, Buffalo, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Toledo, Cleveland, Kansas City and Milwaukee.
 The thefts were evidently the work of an organized gang. They had been raised to large amounts and the names of the payees had been ob- liberated and leash" or "bearer' substituted. In several instances the thieves have been successful in getting the checks cashed.
 The above is from the New York Journal of the Hath inst. Had these checks been perforated the checks could not nave been raised. Protect your bank account by ordering an indellible check perforator from Geo. H. Adams. Price only $500.

Her application for admis- sion to the bar has been rejected by the court of appeals, but she has found n number of defenders, notably an able Belgian harrister, Louis Frank. the author of several noteworthy books on She woman question.

From tho Novelist,s standpoint

Woman suffrage is often said to be i'll the air One evidence Is the entirely in- oidental way in which the subject is frequently referred to in present day fiction. The hero in Paul Leicester Ford s successful novel "Peter Stirling" thus expresses himself: Broadly speak ing, all persons of sound mind are enti- tied to vote on the men and the laws which are to govern them. Aside from this, every ounce of brain or experience you can add to the ballot makes it more certain. Suppose you say that half the people are too ignorant to vote sensibly.
 Don't you see that there is an even chance at least that they will vote rightly, and if the wrong half carries the election it is because more intelli- gent people have voted wrongly, have not voted or have not taken the trouble to try and show the people the right way, but have left them to the mercies of the demagogue? If we grant that every man who takes care of himself has some brain and some experience, his vote is of some value, even if not high one. Suppose we have gold eagle and thousand pennies. Are we any better off by tossing away the coppers because each is worth so little? That is why 1 have always advocated giving the fran chise to women. If we can add 10, 900, : GOO voters to an election, we have added just so much knowledge to it, and made it just so much harder to mislead or buy enough votes to change results. !"

eeption of Miss Nell McEwen, of this city, as Flora May Randolph, and the pretty scenic production is the same. Since his visit to this city Mr. Clement has won frow s'etot cf'ics the same good opinion that wus be- slowed upon him here. Columbus, Toledo, Detroit ard Grand Rapids are the principal cities he has visited since he was seen here. In all of these Baron Hohenstauffen has at once attained great favor. The public press have had nothing but words of praise for Mir. Clement and his play. There is every indication that the return engagement in this city will prove q most successful one. MT. Clements work appeals to all classes of people; the gods of the gallery laugh as heartily and as boisterousiy at the fun produced by the Reutlemanly Germans entangle- b ent with the English language as do those who sit in one dollar and a halt plush chairs down stairs. This is because Hohenstauffen is human therefore, he appeals to every one within whose breast there beats d human heart. The simple. tender, sweetly-told story of "The New Oo- minion," therefore, appeals to all classes.
