ENCOUR4GTNG,

When "the little town elections in this State don't go to suit the Republi- cans the Republicans are apt to say that they don't amount to much as in- dications of the political situation. Then the Democrats promptly rise up and explain that they are very clear and strong indications. The Democrats will not say much to-day, but they will do some thinking. It is true that these elections are not always exactly indica- tive of the real state of the political mind. But when they result as they did yesterday it is entirely fair and req sonable for the Republicans to take courage and hope from them for the later and more important struggle. It is really surprising that local matters have not made more changes in the list of Republican towns than they have, and the fact that the list is SC little changed shows that the new lief fersonian bimetallism hasn't got around enough and secured approval enough yet to affect the election of selectmen fence-viewers and the other sovereigns of the sovereign towns We don't be- lieve it will show much next month either.

postal clerk or other person than the one named as payee.
 It will be observed that the sender must pay the fee, which is an important feature to those merchants who have been receiving small checks by mail, upon which they have been compelled to pay ten or fifteen cents for collec- tion. And it is estimated that the gov- ernment's receipts for fees on Post cheques would be very considerable amount in excess of the present fees obtained, for the reason that practically all sums sent by mail, would, under the Post cheque system, pay toll, where as under the present arrangement, it is estimated that not more than one case in ten yields an income to the govern ment.
 This plan would also dispense with the need of money order clerks and the red tape attendant upon the present clumsy methods. It is proposed to is- sue the Post cheques in five, ten, twen- ty-tive and fifty cent pieces, also in one, two and five dollar notes, their faces printed in suitable form to allow of proper entries in ink by the sender, and their backs in suitable treasury note form. The faces will indicate in large figures, the denomination of the note The Post cheques are to be redeemable at any postoffice. The postmaster. pays out new Post cheques when he redeems the old ones, and this method serves an excellent purpose iA keeping the notes fresh and comparatively clean, as is
 the case with Bank of England notes A strong argument can be made in favor of the Post cheques. The mat ter has already been brought to the at tention of Secretary Gage, and it is to be urged upon congress at the coming term. The old fractional paper currency was very convenient, and fractional paper currency that could be used as cheques would be still more convenient.

one of the features of the coming car- nival in that city will be Her Illustri- ous Highness, Princess Moan Ma Uli- vau, eldest daughter of Tanno Moafu, King of the Fiji Islands, who has al- ready started from her fathers capi- tai, Sayu- Savu, situated on the island of Mould Mairari, for San Francisco, and will arrive there on September 26. His Highness brings with her the court costume she will wear when in Kansas City, and before leaving her island home it had been carefully packed in a cigar box and sealed with the royal seal. The managers of the carnival found her high priced attraction, as, in addition to her travelling expenses, she held out for three copper nose rings and necklace of human teeth. Tn addition, they had to give her fa- ther a bonus of one pound of iron spikes and a bottle of Medford rum. And then after all these negotiations had been completed, and it was sup posed the deal had been closed Her Highness struck for a box of rough-on- rats, which she insisted she must have to do up her back hair.

 If you are told that taffeta is no long, CT to be used except for Things, don't believe it. A black taffeta gown will be as useful now as ever it was, though perhaps 1t may be as we'll to have the bodice only of taffeta, and that in jack ct shape. Let it open to show long waistcoat of cloth-dark gray, dull red, bright blue or dark green. Trim the silk with rows of silk braid to match the waistcoat, and let the latter's re- vers show over the revers of the jacket. The skirt will be of cloth to match the Waistcoat. Remember that the black silk jacket is part of the costume and not suitably made to go on and off, though economy is better considered if the jacket is so planned. In that case modify the trimming of colored braid, else the jacket will produce patchy effect if worn with skirt and waistcoat not matching the braid.

poST CHEQUES PROPOSED.

Those who have occasion to send
 small sums of money by mail have also occasion to grunt or swear over the in- convenience and danger of loss which coins, postage stamps, government money orders and small bills all have their drawbacks when used for pay
 ment through the mails. What is want ed, and badly wanted by many, is something that is entirely safe for transmission by mail and free from the
 present annoyances. MT. c. w. Post, we'll known business man of Battle Creek, Michigan, thinks he has plan which is adequate to the situation, and it is certainly well worth attention and
 discussion His idea is to have form
 of domestic postal currency, which he would call Post cheques" According to his plan the Post cheques are simply
 fractional currency in everyday circula- tion, while spaces on the face are left blank. They are intended to replace
 the silver coin, either partially or who'll Iy. When the individual desires to send 8 small amount of money through the
 mail, he takes from his pocket-book, perhaps a fifty-cent piece and a one | dollar piece, fills in the name of the
 firm or person to whom he desires the
 money paid, gives also the name of the
 city and state, then afffxes a two-cent postage stamp in the square indicated, ! and thereupon signs his name in ink, the signature traversing and cancelling the stamp. By this act, pieces of | money that up to that moment have
 been negotiable and have passed from
 hand to hand, are instantly transferred
 into pieces of exchange, payable only
 to the payee named, and the toll or fee | must be paid by the sender and can-
 celled by his signature. It is then
 ready for enclosure in letter, and can
 not be made use of by any dishonest

THE NEWEST WOMAN.

We suppose that in spite of the recent remarkable changes in Woman there are benighted and belated male beings, almost unworthy to be called human, who still think that She is lacking in reasoning power and cannot really think straight. Let such beings, if they can be fair enough, pay calm attention to the case of Miss Delphine Love, of St. Louis Miss Love is as beautiful and warm as her name and as rich as if she lived in Chicago instead of St. Louis Being beautiful, rich and warm she has not lacked the dear delight of being loved, and she has also done some loving, so as to live up to her name. The other day she felt moved to marry an actor named Cohen, whose style of making love suited her. But right af- ter marrying him she announced in cold and determined tones that chilled Co., hens heart and made his pocketbook shiver that she wouldn't live with him. Being pressed to explain her action she explained it by saying that she was engaged to marry San Francisco man and she was afraid that he might ob- feet if he found out that she was mar- ried to Cohen.
 If this isn't logical and adequate req sonirg we don't know what is. Let those who have prated about the in- consistency and incoherence of the con- tents of Womans think-tank prate nc more.

 Out of me, Every joint that's in my frame Is with fever stiffness lame 0. Gehenna was no name
 For the spree! But I'm with you once again,

 Tify me, Now that am on my feet And will have q chance to eat I'll accumulate more meat

They are kind of Quakers, and the well-to-do English Friends are rais- ing money to assist them in getting out of Russia. They will probably go to Cyprus in the first instance.

Although over 12,000,000 tons of coal have been taken from the "Pittsburg seam," in Marion county, West Vir- ginia, since its discovery in 1887, the seam, running from eight to fourteen feet in thickness, has been uncovered for but a trifling part of it's extent. There are thousands of acres through which this seam is known to run that have yet to be touched by the miners pick and drill. James Rowe, the horse trainer, who has been both jockey and starter, is one of the fortunates who bought a big tract of land twenty years ago, before it's true value was known, and he is now reaping a for tune from it.

summer cottage on Fox river?'
 At mention of Fox river she grew inter- ested and begged me to relate the incident. I therefore described in detail, with all the establishment which fancy could dictate, finding the dear track and the develop ments of Wills theories relative to the mys- tery As I talked, a light overspread her face and when I had finished she burst into a merry laugh.
 As there had been nothing in my remarks to call forth hilarity, l waited for an eH- planation.
 The cause of her interest in Fox river was soon told. She was in the habit of visiting relatives who lived about fifty miles from Chicago and some three miles from the river Being an enthusiastic equestrian, she often rode to the river in the early morning and crossed just north of the old mill where in summer the stream is fordable, to gather goldenrod which grows there in profusion. On the last of these trips she dismounted while yet her horse was standing in the wa ter, flat stone at the rivers edge forming a convenient block. Then, as she stepped on the ground with one foot, she noticed a man wandering around among the trees, and being a shy young woman, remounted her horse and crossed to the other side without having been seen.
 "As soon as you came in this evening" she said, q knew that had seen yoa be- fore,, but was not able to place you until you told me of finding my poor foot print.
 "Will," said l. "as we went home, how about the foot print on your heart?'
 Tt is there," he replied earnestly, and, what is more, the image of the whole wo- man is there also.''
