SELECTED POETRY.
Hymn Before Action.

The earth is full OF anger,
The seas are dark with wrath;
The nations in their harness
Go up against our path;
Ere yet we loose the leglons,
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah OF the Thunders.
Lord God of Battles, aid
High lust and forward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring.
We seek Thy mercy now;
The sinner that foreswore Thee,
The fool that passed Thee by.
Our times are known before Thee
Lord, grant us strength to diet
For those who kneel beside us,
At affairs not Thine own,
Who lack the lights that guide US,
Lord, let their faith atone.
If wrong we did to call them,
BY honor bound they came;
Let not Thy wrath befall them,
But deal to us the blame.
From panic, pride and terror,
Revenge that knows no reign
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak Thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath,
In silence and answering.
To taste Thy lesser DEATH
Fen now their vanguard gathers;
Fen now we face the fray
As Thou didst help our fathers,
Help Thou our host to-dayi
Fulfilled of signs and wonders,
In life, in death, made clear
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord, God of Battles, hearl

PLAIN CoLoRED ORGANIZES

are ruffled with a better result than
figured ones, and either, one very deep
gathered flounce having narrow frill
as heading, or many narrow ruffles is
matter of taste. Under all circum-
stances the edge is furnished in some
way, and contrasting "baby ribbon"
stitched on is peculiarly attractive when
it is crimson or white. Not unfre-
quently, double frills of the material
are placed at equal distances all the
way up, or insertion may be employed
instead of ruf1es. The newest idea is
one plain color for the dress, and ruff
fles of another hue, and this was illus
trated by pale green organdy, ruffled
with lavender organdy. The skirt had
three narrow, plated fiounces, the up
per one headed by beautiful green
and lavender silk passementerie vine
(not band) of leaves woven in the two
colors. The guimpe Cor yoke) was of
green, and the revers Gall around the
shoulders) was of lavender ruffies
headed by the vine, with sleeves in
keeping.
THERE is A DECIDED TENDENCY
in favor of sheer muslin or organdy
underskirts in preference to silk (Which
has just become evidenD and some
white spangled net costumes are rem
dered additionally charming by soft,
fieecy underskirts, with plain net
ruffle and two chiffon double ruchings,
as a species of foundation for the satin
ribbon points which edge the skirt.
Independent waists were never so
popular, particularly those made of
tucks throughout, and silk already tuck
ed and bordered in harmonious con-
traits, sixteen and half inches wide,
retails at $500 per yard. When ex-
pense is not considered, the tucked
silk is used for the entire waists, with
the border arranged round the lower
outline of the round yoke Cor guimpe)
and brought down each side of the
front, as a loose flowing revers; the
border also meeting at the outer seam
of the sleeve.
AN ECONOMICAL DEVICE
is to use plain silk for the back and
the tucked at the front, and in this
style of waist, the blouse effect is
scarcely perceptible. Black, spangled
net blouse fronts are now shown, COM
mencing at $2.75, and set off plain
waist wonderfully well, or beaded
and spangled Jokes lined with satin,
cover up many defects.
White satin fronts crossed both WAYS
with narrow black velvet, or plain satin
with several tucks or rows of shirring
across the front, rival chiffon or soft
silk, are extremely stylish, and change
| from silk or chiffon.
Combinations of red, white and blue
are seen on all sides, the most striking
being blue silk waists with red vests,
and blue and white revers. These
three colors are combined in varions
others ways, especially in misses or
children's wear, and ribbons, knots or
small designs are sold by the thousand.
Sofa cushions are the latest addition to
patriotic displays, some having the red
and white stripes on blue satin pill
low, or stars in three the colors worked
on neutral tint. FANNIE FIELD.

FEATURE

in graduating dresses, null, or fine or
CANDY (over organdy underskirts)
frilled to any extent, enjoying especial
favor; white silk Innings with null are
however an optional matter. Tucked
or full, gathered sleeves are indispen-
sable, the ornamentation on the guimpe
not necessarily matching the sleeves.
Plain or fancy striped white satin
sashes flour yards being sold for a
sash) are always used with pure white
costume, and satin ribbon bows on the
shoulders must be in harmony. Choice
is not limited to the fabrics just de-
scribed, as fine muslin, China silk or
soft net are used with excellent effect;
the two main objects being softness
and simplicity.

AS MANY PERSONS


prefer white satin to any other mate
rial, it is by no means out of style, and
large amounts may be expended on
duchesse or point lace, or a satin Co.'S
tune may be very simply made; al
ways with a blouse effect, high neck
and long sleeves, and either a square
or round train. Bridal sets of three
pieces are examples of fine handwork
and lace, varying in price from S12 to
several hundred dollars. Some partic-
ularly pretty sets, show the revers of
the night dress covered with exquisite
hand embroidery, edged with real Val

mands of refined taste, they are deli

FASHION NOTES.
New York Fashions.
BRIDAL COSTUMES: GRADUATING
DRESSES: oRGANDIEs: TUCKED
SILK WAISTS: COMBINA-
TIoNs OF RED, WHITE
AND BLUE.

Many June brides will wear dresses
of soft white Brussels or any other fine
net, made over sheer organdy, with
few or many ruffles according to indi-
vidual taste. White chiffon, another
exquisite fabric for this purpose, is also
popular and trimmed with broad bands
OF Renaissance lace and endless narrow
double chiffon ruchings, charming
effect is produced. The guimpe Cor
round yoke) effect is also pre-eminent
in bridal costumes, and an economical
as well as pretty idea is to have the
guimpe and long sleeves made separ-
ately, and at the first reception after the
wedding tour, they are dispensed with,
and the wedding dress worn low neck.

 Complete returns from Shawnee county except six small precincts, estimated, give Stanley trep) majority of 1900 over Leedy 0us.). Morrill, trsp) carried the county over Leedy in 1896 by 2.03s.
 The republicans show net loss in the city of Topeka of 250. but made a gain in the country precincts sufficient to give Stanley a net gain in the county of 250 over republican majority in 1896.
 The republican state central committee estimates Stanley's majority in the state at s,e0O, and claim a gain of five republi- can congressman, the election of every congressman in the state except Ridgeley tpop.l. in the Third. who may be re-elect- ed. The populist state central committee claims the result is so close that an of hcial canvass will be necessary. but de- clines to make any definite statement at present on congressman or otherwise. ac- counting for the delay by saving their people were instructed to wait for com- plete returns before making definite re- ports.

Louisville. Ky, Nov. 9.-The demo- cTas of Kentucky won a sweeping vic- tory by eleeting nine and possibly ten con- gressmen out of eleven, and prevented the republicans from gaining control of the court of appeals.
 Democratic congressman were elected in the First, Second, Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eight and Tenth districts, and while the vote Is close in the Ninth. it looks like Williams. the democrat, has won. This Is a certain gain of two con gressmen, with a possible gain of three. The present congressional delegation stands seven democrats to four republi- cans.
 The biggest victory, however, was in the third appellate court district, which was carried by Mckinley in 1896 by 2.200 majority. Hobson the democratic nom- inee for judge, not only overcame this majority, but has won with about 2000 votes to spare

THE NEXT SENATE.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The election re- turns establish with certainty that the United States senate will have a republi- can majority after March next. The present party division Of the senate is: Republicans. s2 democrats, 34. populists, 6: silver republicans. G.
 This was changed prior to Tuesday s vote by republican gain of two, viz: Me- Comas, of Maryland, who will succeed German, and Simon, of Oregon. who is elected to fill vacancy. Of the present republican total of s5 the terms of seven senators expire March { next, leaving B hold-over republicans. To this number the elections of Tuesday add Zen Tepubli- cans surely, and three probably. making a total of is. or two more than majority over democrats. populists and silver re- publicans. There are 2l democratic hold over senators. and to this number Tues days elections add four with certainty, and one probably. giving a total of 9 votes. The populists and silver republi- can hold-overs number 5. and this was in- creased by one, practically sure. Five state legislatures appear to be much in doubt, viz; Nebraska West Virginia, Mon tana. Indiana and Washington, and are not included in figuring totals.

ILLINOIS.

Chicago. Nov. 9.-Returns from every county in the state indicate the election of Whittemore (rep.) for state treasurer by plurality of nearly 3a.000. Few of the returns are complete. The majority for other republican candidates will probably exceed that for Whttemore as he was cut heavily in Cook county, including Chi cago. Enough legislative returns have been received to show that the lower house will be democratic by six votes and the senate republican by about eleven votes. In Cook county. aside from con- gressmen, the entire republican ticket. with possibly one or two exceptions. was elected by puralities ranging from 5000 to 5000. The county was carried for Me Kinley by nearly 10000.
 In Winnebaeo county Frank S. Regan lpro) was elected to the legislature. the nrst time in the history of the state that prohibition legislative candidate has won.
 Chicago. Nov. 9-With but two pre- cincts Of the congressional district to hear from, Boutelle rep) has a plurality of over GOO and is elected by about 200 or 300 plurality.
