plan. Two shades Of gray, skirt and un-
derbodice being of the darker, would be
very modish. To be exactly right, the
redingote, should be lined to match the
skirt, the skirt to match the redingote,
such are the excruciations of the two-tone
scheme.
Not exactly are two tones of the same
color in favor, but two shades of cloth
in two contrasting colors are often com
bined. Odd combinations frequently re-
suit from carrying out this notion, but
though they may starr.e at first glance,
they never offend if the maker has any
sort of Judgment. In the next figure is

delicate salmon broadcloth was set, CORE
spending to an underbodice Of the same

tucked green velvet, and the polonaise
was embroidered with green and deep
red. The whole was made on deep red
silk. Gowns of similar scheme include
panel and undcrbodice of baby-Persian-

an especially natty one, that appearance
being due partly to its material. black
and white pattern cloth on the pepper
and-salt order, but with an up-to-date
look that frequently does not character
ize such fabrics. These long overskirts
are so gracefully cut, add so much to
height and seem so suit6ble a relief TO
the prolonged lines Of the trained skirt
that it is hard TO find fault with them.
This jacket is apretty model with its back
cut short to the waist line, and the trim
ming of white serge is stylish. The latest
motion with jacket bodices is that 1t is
not enough to have one of novel cut, but
1t must also have unusual neck finish.
Pictured here is one wherein a stock piece
of velvet was passed about the collar
twice. The ends were split so that when
tied four points escaped.
Many of these gowns that precede
wraps include some effect of coat or
cloak, and of these none is more frequent
ly seen than the redingote overskirt. In
hair, the edges bound with narrow rows
Of black satin ribbon. The redingote
opened all down the front to show skirt
continuous in line with the underbodce.
The bodice turned away in sailor collar
effect over the redingote and showed a
yoke Of black velvet. These plain color
velvet yokes are a feature Of many a
new gown, and they set off finely the rich
complexion brought home from fall out
ing. There is fancy just now for two
tone dresses, and a redingote design
would specially well lend itself to such a

figure that just now is considered the
thing. Then such a yoke Of lace takes
away the unbecomingness of the usual
white satin or silk at the throat. White
surah surah crepe or mousseline de laine
is as often used for the bridal gown as
the heavier satin, and will prove much
more useful in later wear. This gown was
surah crepe, the skirt trimmed about the
foos with applied Irish lace, leaving the
surah plain in overdress outline. The
bridal veil of the season is white illusion,
knotted into a becoming pompon that is
set on the top of the head. One side Of
the veil draws over the face, its corner
being knotted and fastening with the
pompon. All bother Of throwing back the
veil is thus avoided.

The bewildered woman had hardly
perused this note and laid it on the par

came. 1t was to this effect:

learns and never forgets' keeps right
on reaffirming that platform. 1t Is as
serted, seriously asserted, in these days
Of wonderful well-dolng, that monomet-

Globe Democrat remarks that
1.-THE Chicago platform was made In
the last year of Democratic admins
tration, under a chaotic Democratic
tariff law, and in period of distressing
Democratic depression. With the pass
ing away of the Democratic blight the
clouds vanished. When the
Chicago convention met that hybrid
absurdity, the Wilson tariff law, was
in force. throwing out Of balance all
forms Of American industry, and at the
same time producing insufficient rev.
eoue. Yet the Chicago platform con-
.ains this clause: We denounce as
disturbing to business the Republican
threat to restore the Mckinley law"
The Dingley law has been in operation
two years, and the people are familiar
with its results. 1t has reviyified our
manufactures without depressing any
one and assisted in bringing about an
era giving employment to all. The rev.
enue from the Dingley law is a fourth
larger than that of the Wilson law.
Yet the Chicago platform said the Nc
Hinley law, upon which the Dingley
law ts patterned, enriched the few at
the expense Of the mary, restricted
trade, and deprived the producers Of
the great American staples of access to
their natural markets" Nevertheless,
our foreign trade for the last two years
has been enormously larger than ever
before, II manufactured articles as
well as the products Of agriculture"
Democratic resolution writer's would
do well to read up on the platform Of
1890, and endeavor to evolve something
for present use that Is not absolutely
ridiculous in the light Of known facts
and conditions. ..e

No Departure from the Old Infamy.
1t is apparent that there Is to be no
abandonment of the silver issue by the
Democratic leaders who rallied around
Bryan three years ago. 1t Is their pur-
pose to put Bryan ON the Chicago plat
form again next year, and fight the bat
tie all over once more. The radical sill
yer men are unwilling to admit that
anybody can be a Democrat unless he
accepts Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. They are getting ready to drive
out Of the party every man who Is OPP
posed to Reputation and In favor Of the
maintenance of private and public
financial honor. 1t will be the same
rabid crusade against honesty and
prosperity that Bryan made In 1896,
and the result will be the same.
OF course these silverites are willing
TO add Imperialism to the Chicago plat
form as a vote catcher, but no man
who opposed Bryan's election three
years ago will be able to find a good
excuse for voting for him next year, If
he is nominated in accordance with the
program the silverites have laid down.
He will deserve defeat for the same rea-
sons he deserved 1t In 1896.

rule is illustrated by this model, wherein
the gown was mixed brown homespun,
revers, front and collar being brown or

notion is distinctly an extravagant one,
for II implies the possession Of change
Of boas. So far the boas offered are

wRECKING A BRIDGE.
Novel Use of Electricity Successfully
Tried at Clinton, Ind.

III NiiHtOuy Auu.
The 735-foot bridge over the Wabash
at Clinton, Ind, was wrecked in Au-
gust by Hoosier, who employed the
heating power of an electric current to
do the work, without injury to the sub
structure. This exceedingly interest
ing feat Is described in the Western
Electrician.
1t appears that the bridge was, up
to that time, the only toll bridge in the
State, and was owned by one man. 1t
had become antiquated, and the county
authorities purchased it with the idea
of erecting a steel bridge in its place,
using the same piers and approaches
Under the terms Of the contract, the
owner Of the bridge was to remove the
superstructure inside of thirty days,
without injuring In any way the sus-
tanning piers and masonry. This was
consultation with bridge builders,
house wreckers, riggers, engineers, and,
in fact, every one who had a plan to
suggest, the only practical plan evolved
was to build false work and take the
bridge down piecemeal. To blow the
bridge up with dynamite would prob
ably injure the piers, and to burn 1t
would likewise crack and injure the
masonry. The thirty days elapsed, and
no plan had been decided upon. An ex-
tension of the time for one week was
granted. At this point a young cleo
trician living in Clinton came to the
fore with a scheme to Literally cut the
bridge down with hot electric wires,
and this unique plan was finally sue
cessfully carried out with the greatest
satisfaction. the operation requiring
but ten hours.
The bridge, which was built in 1853,
consisted Of three spans, with 70-foot
draw, and, as already mentioned, was
735 feet long. Each of these spans was
composed Of nine chords, each consist
ing Of three nine-inch by nine-inch vel
low poplar timbers. 1t is perfectly evil
dent, therefore. that If each Of these
tlmbers was cut through simultaneous

AN OBSOLETE DECLARATION OF
& CAMPAIGN ISSUES
Democrats Are Reamrming the Chi
csgo Caiamity Platform Of 1906 In
Ixnorant Disregard of Its Numerous
Absurd Iucongruities. aif

1t being the fashion Of Democratic
State conventions in 1889 to "reaffirm
the Chicago platform of 1885," the st.
Louis Globe Democrat shrewdly raises
the question whether all or any Of these
unanimous reaffirmers have actually
read the declaration Of principles which
they now adopt as their own. Probably
they have not. To suppose otherwise
would be to assume degree of asinine
absurdity quite beyond that WHICH is
characteristic of Democratic
making.
Take, for example, the Ohio Demo
cratic convention. Must one believe
that the Committee on Resolutions
knew what it was that they reaffirmed
word for word? Is 1t possible that In
the presence of conditions which give
the laugh to calamity. croakers and
which show state OF individual and
general prosperity far beyond any that
has ever been experienced by the peO-
pie Of the United States, or by any 9TH
er people on the face Of the earth-is 1t
possible that the Buckeye BourbOns
remembered that in the Chicago plat
form Of 1896 which they reaffirmed 1t
Is gravely asserted that the demoneti-
cation of silver has resulted In "the
prostration of industry and the impov-
erishment of the people?" Where are
the PROSTATE industries and the impov-
erished people? They existed in 1896
at the time the Chicago platform was
promulgated, as the result, almost
wholly, Of free trade experiments in
tariff making, but they do not exist in
1899, after two years Of Republican
tariff making.
Much has happened since the Chicago
platform was written which makes
