4 LADY OUESTION.

Some people in the southern part of
 an advertisement as the following has
 become common in the newspapers of
 the region: "A colored lady wants the
 wash of a white woman or man. :
 The colored ladies who thus adver- tise are all right and they are entirely
 justified In advertising for washing
 with their proper title, just as sales
 ladies, lady stenographers, etc., etc., are justified in advertising for "posi- tions' as lady workers. But are not the colored ladies little out of char acter in wanting "the wash" of white
 women and white men? Would 1t not
 be more consistent and pleasant to wash for white ladies and white gen.
 tlemen? Why should the colored ladies
 seek to go out of their rank? Is it
 because they have the true lady feeling that it is their duty to let the lady
 that is in them shine upon those who will be most helped by it? If this is their idea it is fine work they are do- ing, but if it is should they not word
 their advertisements a little different ly? Some white women and white men are sensitive, and might resent the
 direct and open benefactions of colored ladies. Would it not be more tactful for the colored ladies to intimate to the white men and women that they (the ladies) would consider themselves fa-
 vored by "the wash" of white men and
 women. This would be delicately po- lite, and would at the same time en-
 able the colored ladies to help in re-
 fning the white men and women, if that is their object?

POOR POLICY,

There is a feeling that all is fair in politics, as in love and war, but this feeling is not justifiable, There is complaint that some of the Republicans of Bridgeport did not play fair with other Republicans in the matter of choosing delegates to the State conven- tion, and that there was snap eau GUS" There seems to be some ground for this complaint. There shouldn't have been any, and there should be no more cause for similar complaints dur ing the campaign which has begun. Success won by trickery or force, or by trickery and force, is not good for the harmony that is so desirable and which is so much urged by the leaders of the party.

THE POLITICAL EXPEDITION.

The talk now is that the political ex- petition will not go to Porto Rico inn mediately, and there are hints that it may not go at all. It is not surprising to read that the list of regiments se- lected, which was, in the expectation of the Secretary of War, to satisfy everybody, had no sooner been made public than fresh trouble arose. The eighteen regiments named in it were pleased and some of them much sur- prised. Practically every regiment not named was disappointed, and those that had most reason to expect the light ming to strike them were disgusted. If there had been complaints before they were repeated many-fold. If regiments were to be sent to Porto Rico, not be- cause they were needed, nor because they were fit to go, the men left behind could not see why they should not be allowed the same privilege.
 The argument made by the disap- pointed ones is logical. The only req son why all should not go as well as some is the increased cost. But the cost doesn't need consideration, and those who speak of it are no friends of the soldiers and the politicians.

have had as little to do with it as she would have with goods she bought over a counter, but credit for looking we'll is what we all want, so the advantage of the fake over the real is plain in this case. This illustration presents a case in point. It shows a fancy bodice of white batiste plaided with rows of white medallion braid. The value of this treatment will not be lessened by the knowledge that all this must be sewed by hand. Back and sleeves were ornamented in the same way and the fastening at the side was concealed by three batiste ruffles edged with lace. White satin was used for the collar and belt. The accompanying skirt was white pfque.
 A linen gown braided with bright blue offered a pretty combination of color The blouse was faced with blue pique to match, and the linen walking hat was scarfed with silk that showed the same blue. Stockings were plaided, with blue predominant, the shoes were a dull mode tan leather, and the gloves tea color. Linen and white is as popu- lar as ever, pretty and cool looking. A linen dress made up with facings, belt and petticoat of blue and white plaid gingham was interesting because a new notion and very jaunty. A season or so ago we took to adding little dashes of check gingham to any of our dresses, without reference to material or color. The combination with wash goods seems especially suitable. Linen needs something to brighten it.

Only two short years had elapsed and l was back in England. My uncle, who was bachelor, had given me a hearty welcome, and had taken me into his business as junior partner, and 1t was In that capacity that visited the old country, as we were opening a branch establishment here, of which I was the head,
 One morning I was seated in my pri- Vate office when my clerk ushered in a man who, without explanation, pushed paper into my hand, which on exami- nation l discovered to be a summons to serve on a common jury at the Old Bailey the following week.
 Monday morning came, and I found after the panel had been called that l try a murder case. My brother jury men elected me as their foreman.
 The crime had been committed over two years ago, the victim being an aged woman named Laurence, and the pris- oner being her niece From the open ing speech of the counsel for the prose cution we learned that on November "A the victims neighbor heard high words passing, and then heard the sound of a pistol report. On rushing in they found Mrs. Laurence unconscious, and bleed- ing from a bullet wound in her side, from which she died very shortly with out recovering consciousness. Her watch and chain Both of curious work manship, had disappeared, and her cash box had been forced open. Worst of all, her niece was missing.
 There was, said the counsel, unhappi- ly but one conclusion to draw. The po- lice had searched for the missing girl fruitlessly till it came to their knowl- edge that watch and chain resem- bling that of the murdered woman Ga description of which had been sent to all pawnbrokers) had been pledged in Manchester. Thus placed on the track the rest was easy, and the prisoner was soon captured.
 Slowly but surely the councel wove a chain of evidence, which, link by link, seemed to irretrievably connect the prisoner with the crime and slowly but surely it became more and more pa tent fact to me that the girl in the dock would be condemned to 8 violent and shameful death.
 She was poor and friendless, and was unable to afford counsel, but one had been assigned to her by the court, and he worked hard for his client. Gentlemen, have done," he said, as he concluded. q admit that the evil dence against my client seems to point with unwavering finger at her as the perpetrator of a vile crime. But she has told me a remarkable story which, If true, would establish her innocence that she was miles away on the day in question, November 24; that on that night she met with an adventure which reads like an Arabian Nights romance; but that only one man can prove the truth of her tale, and he is thousands of miles away"
 As my eye rested upon her cheek down which great tears were stream ing, she, for the first time during the wearisome day, looked up at the jury As her eyes caught mine, light of rec ognition leapt into them, and running her left hand through her hair, and stretching out the other hand as if te speak, she uttered a wild shriek and fel back into the dock senseless.

OF THE RIGHT KIND.

Cadet Ernest E. Haskell, now of the United States army, is a good sample of Young America. Last January Cadet Haskell, then in his second year at the United States Military Academy at West Point, strained his back very badly and was granted sick leave until August 18th, that is to say, until the expiration of the furlough which every West Point cadet ordinarily re- ceives before beginning his career as a third class man. When his sick leave began Cadet Haskell went to Wash ington and put his strained back in charge of Dr. Leonard Wood, since col- onel of the Rough Riders and now Cadet Haskell's back got well early in May and he thereupon applied to the secretary of war for permission to spend the remainder of his sick leave at the front. Permission being given he joined his physician's regiment, the Rough Riders" at San Antonio, be- came a lieutenant in that famous cay- airy command, accompanied it to Cuba, behaved with distinguished gall lantry in the fight of June 24th, and the battle of July 1st; was slightly wound ed but not disabled in the first fight and horribly wounded in the second; |; was invalided home; was recommended for promotion by his colonel; and is now in Washington rapidly getting over his wounds.

An interesting method of ascertain ing the point of escaping gas is prac- ticed in Ghent. The outfit consists of large hand drill or augur, several hol- low tubes or pipes of the required length, a few corks fitted with quills through the center, bottle of Or-Pal- ladium, and a few bits of white paper. Several paving blocks are removed over the gas main, holes are bored in the soil, and in each is planted piece of the hollow piping; the upper expos ed end one of the corks is placed. with the quill in the center running up and down parallel with the pipe A small piece of the white paper is dipped in the Or-Palladium and pushed into the open quill-twenty or thirty such de- tectors being put in position at one time-and, if a leak exists within, say two yards of them, the effect of the es- caping gas will be evident upon the pa- per, rendered sensitive by the reagent and it will at once turn black The ef- feet of the action of the gas upon the detector first placed in position becomes evident before the last one of row of twenty is set up. The gas company of Ghent causes regular tests to be made in turn in all the streets of the city. and the loss by leakage is said not to exceed three per cent.
