In a survey of gastronomic fashions
one cannot blu remark the passing of
the waffle. says Harper's Bazaar" But
a little while ago and the edible was a
staple without which few breakfasts were
complete, and which gave distinction to
many a luncheon and high tea. First
cousin to the English trumpet. and own
sister to our muffin, it had nevertheless
a favor all its own, undoubtedly impart-
ed to 1t by the fantastic irons in which
II was baked. Waffle batter has. upon
occasions, been put INTO muffin rings, but
the product so baked had an entirely
different taste from that stamped with
the curious little square holes dotting
the three sections OF the regulation WAIT

4 FAIR OFFER.

Many of the people of Kansas have been most vociferous against the rail- roads, and they now have chance to demonstrate the correctness of some of their theories. President Ripley, of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, has made an offer which will enable the Kansas populists to show whether cheaper fares will pay. He says he does not believe that anybody has ever figured the cost of passenger service as being less, than si q train mile. At three cents a mile 1t takes thirty-four people on each train to pay this, at two cents it takes fifty people; at one cent it would take a hundred people; and at half a cent 1t would take two hundred people. He offers to any re- sponsible person, party, syndicate, or company in the state of Kansas, a train to run from any point in Kansas on his lines to any other point every day in the year at rental of $1 mile. Those renting the train shall receive all fares. They will only have to pay the road s10 each way if the train runs ten miles, or $1O0 each way if the train runs 100 miles. They can make the passen- ger rate so low that everybody will travel, or they can do with it as they please
 It is to be hoped that this entirely fair offer will be accepted, but 1t prob ably will not be. The Kansas popu- lists are buster than they were, and though they have more money they will probably not be any more ready tc use it for the public good than the "monopolies'' are.

The companion costume to this is not so elaborate, being of bright red cash mere, plain in the skirt but for de- sign in gilt braid at the hips. The bodice bloused all around and was cov- cred in front with an applique design in gilt and white soutache The sleeves were tucked below the puffs and were braided at the wrists
 While those of us who are possessed of such pretty dresse are wearing them all of us who go out to the shops are getting chilled at sight of show win dows. There are printed India silks, Boo! don't they seem cold! Really it's hardly safe to look in the windows of the shops just now unless you are warm and fur wrapped, for don't the new spring fashions make one shiver. Fig ured pongees and twilled foulards are all being offered to stimulate thoughts of spring dressmaking. All these silks are at very low figures, which makes one suspect that old stuff Is being Of fered, but colorings and designs seem all brand new.
 It is pleasant to see that many dressy shoulder capes are built on ermine or grebe collarettes, handsome pulling and frilling of null. lace or chiffon being set under the edge of the grebe. This idea is not only pretty one, but it allows of freshening the collar that may have grown q little shabby at the edge. So one more Is added to the small list of new styles that are helpful to economical folk. FLORETTE.

At the same time he is greatly impress ed by the vigor, intelligence and ambi- tion displayed, and recommends the ap- pointment of a special commercial sec retary to watch and report upon the trade developments of the country.

triumph in what in these days is called "enterprise''
 Even the most conservative among men of science are made to appear as willing purveyors of sensationalsm by what ought to be looked upon as an un- warranted and illegitimate use of the result of carefully conducted investiga- tions, often before such results have received final construction and approval at their own hands.
 If all impressions made by this false popularization of science were to dis appear in twenty-four hours, the evil would be greatly lessened: but, unfort- unately, there are many very intelligent and thoughtful people, who ought to constitute the best support of scientific work. upon whom they are more lasting. To such the line separating the genuine accomplishments of honest scholarship from the output of sensationalism, which ought to be clear and sharp. is becoming very nebulous, and there is imminent danger of revolt against the whole thing.
 The extent to which credullty has been carried was beautifully illustrated not long ago when widely known scientific man amused himself and many friends by caricaturing. in the columns of one of our standard scien- tific journals some of the phases of modern psycho-physics. So perfectly did the burlesque reflect the form and substances of some recent contributions to that science that 1t was immediately accepted as serious by the large majority of readers.

4 DrsGUsTED DEMOCRAT.

David B. IIill is still Democrat, and although he has not lately been a man. aging Democrat he Is sure he could have managed some things better than Croker has. It is understood that MT. Hill Is dlsgusted with MT. Croker's pol itics, and thinks the latter has missed grand opportunity to divide the Repub- lican party. MT. Hill thinks that in ap- pointing the Republicans on the New York Police board, the Aqueduct com mission and other bipartisan boards, Mayor Van Wyck should have been ad- vised to name one anti-Platt Republi- can and one Platt Republican. He be- lieves this plan should have been car- ried out in every detail, and no oppor- tunity lost to divide the Republican forces. There is now, in MT. Hills opin- ion, little chance of winning a Demo- cratic victory in November. MT. Crok- CTS criticism of independent Democrats and his slurs on the so-called mug wumps, as well as his attacks upon the Manhattan Club, make the prospect of Democratic success remote.
 It looks as if MT. Hill had sized up the situation about right, and if he turns out to be true prophet he can crow over Croker. But Croker is most cer- tainly having his crow now.

"Kiiled in Action at New Haven, 5 July.
 177Q's

"Ktiled in Action at New Haven, 6 July,
 1779."
 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Wishing to obtain further informa- ton about the gallant and merciful of- flcer to whom monument was erected some six years ago, the writer mailed a letter Ito any gentleman named Camp bell, residing in Inveraugh, Scotland"
 Two answers have been received from Angus Campbell. XIV. Hereditary Col onel. of Cornell, Scotland, from which we compile the following:
 None of the Coldstream Guard regi- ments were In America during the war of the Revolution. A provisional bat talion composed of men drawn from the First Grenadier, the Second Coldstream and the Third Scots Fusileer Guards were sent to America. Sergeant Will liam Campbell was appointed adjutant to this provisional battalion on the 29th of August, TIT. He is called in the list staff officer appointed to the Brigade of Guards for service in North Ameri- ca." He is marked Killed in action in New Haven, 9th July, 1779" He be- longed to the Third Guards, now called the Scots Guards. "In my opinion" !" (says Colonel Angus CampbelD. "he could not have been adjutant without at least havng local rank, which would no doubt have been confirmed in the London Gazette, had he not been killed. I learn from another source that 1t is more than probable that he was of good family, but of what branch of our family I have as yet failed to learn"
 Colonel Campbell promises, if he is able, to send further information.
 The erection of the Campbell monu- ment Is highly appreciated in England and Scotland.
 It will be remembered that the Queen sent the following message through Sir Julian Pouncefote, the British minis ter at Washington, to be read at the unveiling of the monument:
 ''The Queen deeply appreciates the generous sentiments which have prompted the citizens of New Haven, after the lapse of so many years, to of- fer this honorable tribute to the memo ry of Adjutant Campbell of the Guards, who fell in the British attack on that city in 1779, in remembrance of his acts of humanity on that occasion"
 The above message was cabled to Minister Pouncefote, and sent by him to Rev. A. N. Lewis, chairman of the monument committed. sss
