FOOLISH WHITE SOLDIERS

It is we believe, generally admitted that the colored soldiers of the United States kept their end up in Cuba and were at times quite useful to some of the white soldiers. But old prejudice dies hard, and it is both amusing and saddening to read that some white sol diers feel that they cannot, consistent ly with their dignity and honor, re- ceive their pay from the hands of col ored paymasters. There are two col ored paymasters in the volunteer staff One is R. R. Wright, who has his son. R. R. Wright, Jr., as his clerk, and the other is John R. Lynch, the ex-repre- sentative from Mississippi. There is much opposition to both officers among southern troops, and when Lynch was assigned to pay the Second Texas Vol unteer infantry the men refused to re- ceive the money from him. Since that time the troops of the regiment have not been paid, and there the matter stands. Paymaster-General Stanton has turned over to the President all the pa- pers relating to the unpleasantness. The President has taken no definite &C., tion beyond expressing approval of General Stanton's course in sending a sharp despatch to the commanding paymaster of that department, stating in effect that as Major Lynch had been regularly commissioned by the Presi- dent as an army paymaster, the troops must take their pay from him or else go without pay.
 Strange that there can be such fool ishness in human minds. We suppose that these very men who will not take their pay from a colored paymaster would not be offended by the strong support and help of the colored regu- lars in battle or by their efficient help in sickness. The white soldiers in Cuba didn't seem to be.

burning lamps. The size of the leak has nothing to do with the immortality of it, but, as figured up it would be enough to provide school room for many hundreds of children who are now deprived of their rights in the matter of an education. It is a mode rate estimate that one-third of the electric current furnished is wasted, When all the departments are in oper- ation one-third the current produced for the six hours during which the of- fees are occupied daily would, at the rates paid to the electric companies, cost not less than $60 a day. That is not the full measure of the loss, how ever, as large number of the lamps burn uselessly twenty-four hours in the day.
 Sixty dollars a day is a rather large waste, even for a municipal govern ment. Philadelphia is evidently in need of some reform.

Maronites, who have fled from persecu- tion in Mesopotamia. They are pe- culiar and most conservative people in all things. Although they acknowledge the pope as the head of the church, their liturgy differs from that in other Cath ollie churches, Their services are in the Syro- -Chaldaic language, instead of in Latin, and they observe strictly St. Paufs injunction that women be silent in the churches, admitting no woman to the choir. The men are expected to sit on one side of the church, and the wo- men, with their foreheads yelled, on the other. The only concession made to modern ways in the construction of the chapel is that pews. will be permitted, the elders reluctantly admitting that the present generation will not be con- tent to kneel throughout the service, as did their parents.

roo MUCH LIGHT,

There is too much light in good old Philadelphia, and there is an effort to see about it. The extravaganza is in the public buildings. These buildings are lighted by electricity. The current is supplied by the Public Buildings commission, but this body has no con- trol over it's use in the various de- partments, and those responsible are indifferent. It is not at all uncommon, it is said, to see the finance commit

it will hold it's hang" and it's lines are less monotonous. All the suggest ed beauty of the swirling skirt is kept, with none of it's overdone artifciality of flutes and stiffened pipe folds. If a woman only carries herself we'll the present skirt will give her every bit of grace possible. The large hipped woman never looked so well as in one of the new skirts, and the slender creature is like lily stalk without be- ing a bit fiag-pole- like.
 The new skirt thus ardently com mended appears in many variations Its simple form revives that of last winter the skirt being in two pieces The upper part fits the hips with sheath-like exaetness and is lengthen- ed to apron outline in front, narrow ing at the back The lower part Is a Spanish or circular flounce flaring prettily from it's joining with the up per part in front, and sweeping al the sides to join the graceful lines of the back. This skirt represents the idea The variations permit an unbroken line in front, the apron" extending to lilt iieIli, dHu ltlipiDhell IHlc III tlie back, the flounce starting there from the belt; straight sides, the apron dip ping in points there as well as at the front, and an unbroken front that at the hem sweeps to the sides, the skirt being practically divided into front and back portion instead oi top and lower part. These are the chief yaria~ tions. But the grace of the back sweep and the perfection of modelling about the hips appear in all.
 About the simplest possible form of this admirable skirt appears in this picture. It's material was dark blue nuns yelling, and the seam of the small Spanish fiounce was hidden by a band of cream lace insertion. The bod ice of this dress was of unusual cut. At sides and back it was fitted but the front was draped being caught in two places by silver buckles. Lace outlin- ed yoke effect and trimmed the sleeves. FLORETTE.

HOW THE POST TAXES IT.

Much interest has been felt in the way the Hartford Post, MT. Porters paper, would take the result of the con- vention. Those who have thought that the privilege of supporting the nomi- nees were mistaken. The Post puts up the ticket at the head of it's editorial columns. It doesn't take back any thing it has said about the lobby, and it is hopeful that some good has been done by MT. Porters campaign. It says among other things: As "The Post has frequently said in this cam paign, it was not so much a contest between men as contest for a prin- ciple and MT. Porter may well feel that whatever the effect of the campaign upon himself, it has had it's results al- ready for the good of the party; there is already the prospect that the party will. take it's affairs into it's own hands. The work begun needs but to go on. No one need fear that the campaign has hurt the Republican par ty. In no State in the Union are there such bitter factional fights as in Ohio, but as President Mckinley once said, it served to keep the average citizen awake to his political duties and to keep the party strong. With the start that has been made for better methods in the Republican party, with the pledge with which the ticket goes be- fore the people, with the general feeling that the dictation of selfish clements in the party will not be longer endured, the Republicans of the State can go to the polls with confidence in success and reasonable hopes for better govern ment.
 This is decidedly cheerful, and, we think, quite reasonable. It is undoubt- edly true that MT. Porter's campaign has had an awakening influence, even though, in the language of the prize ring, he was put to sleep.'

A Welcome New Fashion.

Whether women are thoroughly tir- ed of their summer stuffs or not, they're gladdened by the new fashions and the stuffs that are to go into them
 The ruling smooth cloth, sheath fitting, sweeping costume is a relief from all the ruff1etituffs of last season, from those horrid all-over frilled skirts, for instance. As for the skirt of this sea- son it is perfect. It is as admirable as was the bias skirt of some seasons ago in sweep and grace, at the same time

The announcement that Paris meteor Ologists regard sun spots as having some relation to temperature leads the Rochester Post-Expresa to say: Tt is more than fifteen years ago that Henry c. Maine, of this city, proclaimed as an incontrovertib1e scientific fact the indissoluble relation of cause and effect between solar disturbances, better known as sun spots, and meteorological disturbances on the earth, and thus in- cured the ridicule that comes to re- ward a man of an original turn of mind for a discovery that runs counter to current ignorance and prejudice. Now that he has won the good fight and laid the foundations to a true science of weather, we do not propose to stand by in cowardly silence and permit the Paris meteorological authorities,' or even so respectable a scientist as M. Flammarion, coolly to gather in the fruits of his long, arduous and most noteworthy labors."

It must not be supposed from the re- ported results of the working of the dispensary law that we have golden era of temperance in South Carolina, said a man from that State the other day. "Far from it. The character of the drinking has changed, but the im- bibing goes on just as of yore. The fashion has changed-men can't drink over bars, and so they now keep their supply of corn and rye and bourbon in bottles Every citizen has bottle in his home or office. If he doesn't care to buy it from the State he can send over to Georgia for case, and all that has to be done is to mark it, For personal use.' These magic words secure it from the intermeddling of the dispensary constables, for Judge Simonton holds no citizen can be stopped from buying whatever he pleases for individual con- sumption. All in all, the dispensary is the boss humbug of the day.

That was rather interesting swap which was made in Newark the other day. A physician in that city has a beautiful fox terrier pup for which he gave boy baby in trade. The baby was turned over to the doctor soon af- ter it's birth by it's mother, who said she had no further use for it. Its fa- ther, she said, had gone off somewhere and she didn't know where he was. In the same house in winch the baby was born lived two young people, whose af- factions until then had centered in a box of fox terrier puppies. They want ed a baby very much. When the baby s mother went away the doctor offered the baby to them in exchange for one of the puppies. They were ever so much pleased with the offer. The swap was made.
