RICH DRESS MATERIALS
Velvsts Are hhe Moat1Exps6Sive OF
staple Goods, But haces the
~ "a CSntIiest .oftAn!' -

The costliest of what might be de-
scribed as staple dress goods are vel
vets. Fine silk velvets, in black and
in colors, for reception, dinner and
evening gowns sell in regular widths
up to SIS Il yard, and in velvet of extra
widths as high as $40. Thevelvets. sold
oftenest for dress goods are those at
prices under ten dollars a yard.
The costliest of fancy fabrics are sat
lin ground brooches, a satin fabric in
white or in some light color, with en-
bassed velvet figures, in various col
ors, and in floral and in geometrical de-
signs. The broche sat;ns are made for
evening wear. They are produced in
great variety and many of them are
of great beauty. Made 81 inches in
width they sell through a wide range
of prices up to SIS yard. There are
wider satins and velvet brooches, i'm
ported in dress patterns that arc cost
lier still. These goods in patterns from
seven TO eight pards each, with pink,
hcliotrope, blue and other grounds, but
n single pattern in shade or color, inn
ported, are sold at $3.50 a dress pat
tern.

terials is lace. Point lace founce, AZ
inches wide, for gowns, is sold at prices
ranging up to $125 yard, four yards
being required for skirt. The same
lace could be used for the waist, in
which case two yards more would be
required: but oftener there is sold for
the waist and sleeves an all-over lace
to match the fiounce. This, in lace
from ID to % inches in width, to match
the fiounce at $125 yard, would cost
$50 a yard.
1t will be borne in mind that these
prices represent the cost simply Of the
material for the gown, without Innings
of trimmings or making up. What the
finished gown would cost might de-
pend on q variety Of constructions. s

A TRICK FOR HALLOWEEN,
1t h Called "CiRirvOyance" and
Will Mystffy and En-
tertaIn.

A game that is not entirely new and
yet especially appropriate for Hallow-
cen is known as 'clairvoyaDce." Il
is especially enjoyable for an evening
of mystery, because it always proves
mystifying to the uninitiated. Take
some particular person who under
stands the game to play the role of me-
dunn, send her from the room, an emp
ty chair being reserved for her next
to the person who is in collision with
her. When she leaves the room some
word is determined upon by the rest of
the party, for instance "horse," and
when the medium returns her task is
to tell what the word is without any
questions. She is summoned, sis down
next to her friend, and while all present
are seated in circle, with joined hands,
the one who was in the room, and hence
knows the word, spells it to the me-
dunn by tapping with a finger upon the
palm of her hand, the number of taps
being equal to the number of letters in
the alphabet. For instance, eight taps
for II, then quite pause; IS taps for
o. etc. When the medium announces
the word successfully, those not know
ing the secret cannot understand it at
all, and 1T is even more myatifying
when it is explained that it is based
upon some peculiar mental action

common cause. The result OF the
last election clearly demonstrated
that such division cannot safely con-
tinue in the great National contest of
the ensuing year. Division means
danger, il not actual disaster, to the
most vital interests OF the State,
while union means All easy and tri-
umphant victory.
Realizing the danger, this commit
tee pledges the Democracy of the
State to every honorable act or con-
cession which will tend to consolidate
the entire bimetalic and anti-Repub-
ican forces under the same banner,
and their harmonious gathering in a
single State convention where all
shall have an equal voice IN the
choice Of delegates to the National
Democratic Convention, the nomipa-
ton Of electoral and State tickets;
and other matters pertaining to the
conducting and management of par
ty affairs during the campaign,
With this end in view, this commit
tee most cordially invites the State
Central Committees Of the Silver and
Populist parties to join with it, at the
proper time, for the purpose above
named; the delegates to be elected at
primaries, jointly called are au-
thorized, at which all mem bers of the
three organizations shall participate
without discrimination or reference
to their former political affilia lions or
preference.
BY the submitting of this proposal
for the promotion Of unity and har-
mony, this committee believes that it
manifests spirit Of fairness and sim
cere desire to consolidate the oppo-
nents Of the common enemy in q
single org anization, thereby avertng
all possible chance of the transfer
OF the silver producing State to the
column OF the gold standard, trust
breeding and imperialistic plutocracy
The authors of these declarations are
furthermore confident that their
liberal and unselfish course will be
approved, not only by the party which
they directly represent,but by all fair
minded, sincere and intelligent Silver
men In the State.
No pains or efforts will be spared
by this committee to throughly or
ganize the Democratic party in every
county throughout the State. The
work is already we'll under way and
Democratic County Central Com
,mittees have lately been organized in
counties where such bodies lad no
existence within the last eight years.
1t is to be hoped that the local mem.
bers or this committee will prom pity
take the matter in hand and whe n
these committees are organized, re.
port the same with the names and the
