LATE DRESS NOTES.
Fresh Fancies in FEMININE rlhery
for Fall Gowns ana Cos-
tunes.

An ideal gown for garden party is
of white japanese silk, trimmed with
deep incrustation of cream lace over
a brown silk ground A wide corselet
of palest pink silk drapes the figure
closely beneath box plated bolero. A
fchu of lace is caught across the shoul-
ders and fastened at each side of the
plated chiffon vest by silver buckle.
The lower part of the sleeve is an in
crustation of the Point de Nenlse over
brown, like the skirt decoration. The
hat is of tucked white mousseline in
shepherdess shape, with delicate pink
ribbons and roses, says the New York
Tribune.
An exquisite empire tea gown lately
seen in Newport was as novel as 1t was
beautiful in design. There was a
short cuirass arrangement OF black
mail sequins, from which the open
fronts of black Grape eolienne fell
straight over a perfectly fitting under
dress yelled in white killed d'esprit
net that seemed to be continuation
of a small graceful fichu oraping the
shoulders inside the round decolletage.
Elbow sleeves of the cote de mallle jet
finished with ruffles of the killed net
-ruffles shaped almost to nothing on
the inside of the arm.
Some of the newest scarf and tie
clasps are in gun metal, French gray
silver and gilt, and are hollow spheres,
with three openings through which the
ends of the tie are drawn. They are
invariably dull in finish and frequently
are perfectly plain, but for those who
prefer the more ornate real and imita-
tion gems are sunk in the surface.
Yelling pins are shown in the form
of flies and various beetles, the wings
of which bend with a spring to catch
the veil.
1t is whispered that old fashions i'll
bracelets are to be revived, especially
that showing a medallion or cameo set
in wide gold band.
For fall wear black velvet waistcoats
will be popular. They are cut low, and
fastened with large rhinestone or en-
ameled buttons, and are immensely eff
fective under the bolero of a white
pique suit.
1t is predicted that the painted fab
ric of last year will be more in evidence
than ever the coming season. Whole
panels of painted velvet gowns OF
painted chiffon and every painted or
namentation will be seen.
Velvet is to be the material de
rigeuer for winter. Velvet for street
gowns, reception gowns, dinner gowns
and as trimming will characterize
every modish wardrobe. 1t is ex-
pensive, but, oh, so becoming! Ey-
cry woman will want a velvet gown
but, alas, for every woman it is not to
be advised, as a cheap velvet is abso-
lutely devoid of beauty.

EMPIRE AND LABOR.
A Danger That Threatens Us in An
nexing Newly Acquired
Countries

The effect upon wages of annex
ing countries overrunning with the
cheapest kind of labor is evident
enough to anyone who will consider
the question dispassionately, but per-
haps brief account of what | have
seen with my own eyes in Egypt may
serve to illustrate it. We hear a great
deal of the political benefits con-
ferred by the British government
upon the Egyptians, but little or
nothing is said of the industrial re-
suits of expansion, and yet those re-
suits are the most important
Some years ago while l was living
in Egypt L visited one of the cot
ton mills at Mansourah. the CONNER
cial center of the cotton region.
These mills are owned by English,
French and German capitalists and
operated by native labor. In the
main room of the factory the air was
so thick with cotton-dust that l found
it difficult to breathe. A row of Arab
girls of IL or 13 years of age were
standing there before series of tubs
Inc raw COIIOH.
What are the hours of labor of
these girls?" l asked the foreman,
who was acting as my guide.
From four o'clock in the morning
to six o'clock at night, with an in
termission for dinner" he answered.
"And what is the pay?"
Twelve and a half cents a day"
l could hardly believe that, and the
next time l met the English manager
of one Of these mills l cross-ques-
toned him on the subject.
''Is it true" 1 asked, ''that you
work your girls from four until six
for 1919 cents day?"
''Yes," he said, rather reluctantly.
81 didn't quite like it when 1 first
went to Mansourah, but the girls don't
seem to mind it."
Don't mind IA hours work day"
L cried.
"Oh, that is not ALL" he replied.

TEST FAVORS DEMOCRACY.
Voluntary Vote in Chicago Gives
Bryan "a Plurality of
$4,000 Ballots.

Bryan will carry the city of Chicago.
His plurality is likely to be more than
IA. eco votes, or one-fourth greater than
McKinley's in 1896. The Chicago
American has made a great poll of the
voters. The returns leave no doubt
that the democrat tic presidential ticket
will sweep the city. A revolution of
opinion has followed the Mckinley ad-
ministration. The facts are at hand.
The figures, it is believed, are sound.
The vote was taken upon a greater
scale, with greater care and with the
observance of better and more intelli-
gent methods than ever before en-
ployed in a similar work Fifty cam
vassers, carefully chosen and sworn as
to the accuracy of their figures,
reached more than 60,OCO voters with
this inquiry:
For whom will you vote for presi-
dent?"
This is the result: For Bryan, 3d.
660; for Mckinley, 2O,436. Total, ST.
O96. Bryan over Mckinley, 1O,224.
The estimate of Bryan's majority is
made by comparison of this vote with
the vote of Bryan and Mckinley in
this city in 1896 and the estimated vote
for the coming election. The presi-
Dental vote of Chicago in 1896 was di-
vided between these candidates as fol-
lows: Mckinley, 201,O ,O74; Bryan, 144,,
77O. Total, 345,S44. Mckinley over
Bryan. 56.304.
A comparison of the Americans bal.
lot with the vote of Bryan and McKin-
ley in Chicago in 1896 would Indicate
a majority for Bryan over McKia,ey
of 74,72O. The total vote of 1900 IN

Staked His All and Won.

The coatlesss young man and liis
young woman companion meandered
into one of the swell restaurants and
sat down at table. The young man
had met the young woman when he
had not expected to. That eXplaines
the absence of his coat.
The waiter took their orders. Then
he went over to the proprietor. Then
the waiter returned.
Sorry, sab, but we can't serve

OBJ ladies, sah."
The young man favored him with an
icy stare. So did the young woman.
Then they started out, but the young
man fell behind the young woman
long enough to press the fourth part
of a dollar into the walters hand and
whisper:
'Your kindness and that of the pro-
prietor will never be forgotten. My
lady friend insinuated so strongly
that she was hungry that L was ac-
tually forced to ask her to dine.

time from six till ten o'clock in the
evening and we pay them an extra
piastre (2h or five cents), and some
times young mothers come with the
babes at the breast and put them
down on the floor in the corner and go
to work with the rest"
And all this, mind you, in an at
with knife, so thick is it with cot
ton.
One thing has saved Egypt, and
that is the absence of coal. 1t costs
too much to bring it there for it to
pay to introduce factories on a large
scale. But there is plenty of coal in
the Philippines. Coal can be had at
the entrance of the mines in Japan
for Is cents ton, / am informed, and
it will be as cheap in the Philippines.
With coal at this price, with girls and
boys ready to work for 1919 cents
day, what is TO prevent the immediate
flow of our capital to these islands
and the Inauguration of a competi-
ton such as we have never known
before?
Either wages will fall here to the
121%-cent level or our factories will
be moved bodily to our new posses
sions and our working men left to
starve.
Bishop Potter, of New York, has
just been in the Philippines, and he
tells us that the Filipino takes kindly
to our factory system. Poor Filipinos!
So do mice take kindly to cheese in
a trap. The system will prove a curse
to them as it has already proved to
the girls of Mansourah and at the
same time that it will impoyerish our
American wage-earners at home. 1t
may be said that the natives are not
forced to work But this is not true
When their cupidity is not sufficient
to make them TOLL means are found
to compel them. This has already
been done in the mines of South At
rica. and the British government i'm
poses taxes upon the natives there
with the avowed object of forcing
them to seek employment in the mines
for the purpose of raising money to
pay the tax, that being the only way
open for them to earn money. The
same plan will doubtless be adopted
by our capitalists in the Philippines
if it turns out that Bishop Potter is
mistaken and that the Filipinos do
not take kindly to factory work.
We are told that we ought 10 es-
tablish stable government in the
Philippines. That is precisely what
we ought not to do. 1t is the lack
of stable government which prevents
capital from going TO countries where
people are willing to work for starv-
alton wages. 1t is an automatic ar
rangement of nature that in unciy-
ilized or partly civilized countries
franchises and monopolies are not
well enough protected for capital to
risk itself If this were not SO, ali
manufacturing industries would seek
at once the country of cheapest wages,
other things being equal, and the
starvation of the home popUiation
would follow. 1t is best for the world
that the government of such countries
should not be too stable, and by in
sisting upon stable government in

is estimated at 374,0OO. By COMPARE
son with this estimate Bryan's majori-
ty over Mckinley would run consider
ably over $4,000. Indeed, that prophecy
is upon a conservative basis.
The Americans ballot is of value in
connection with the New York Jour
nails recent poll of New York. The
Journals poll, taken from week to
week for two months, indicates that
McKinley's plurality of $4,000 in that
city in 1896 will be exchanged to a
great plurality of nearly 10 GOO votes
for Bryan. Unless all signs fail, the
great centers of population in this
country will roll up tremendous tidal
wave of votes for Bryan on election

THE MINISTER'S WIFE.
Her Home Life without Privacy
Denied the Right to Choose
Her Friends.

The average parish feels a sense OF
ownership in its minister's wife, her
children and her home, and because

fection, she tries to blind herself tc

erty to choose her own friends, no leis.
ure for her own refreshing. writes "a
Minister'S Wife" in Ladies' Home Jour.
nal. The lack of privacy, and the sac.
rifice of dignity that must accompany
it, are as nothing, however, to the dep
rivation that most of us feel when we
are denied the right to choose our own
friends. 1t is only common sense tC
suppose that some people in the par
ish are going to be more congenial COM
panions than others for the ministers
wife, who was probably very human
girl once. A minister's wife rarely
dares to make close friends among her
husbands people, because those whom
she has not chosen become offended and
critical She usually succeeds in living
on terms of colorless friendiness with
all, and perhaps has somewhat lonely
life in consequence. There are inti-
macies which she does not care for, be-
cause she is a woman of sense; there
are others which she may not have,
because she is woman of discretion
her friendships are not to be achieved
they are to be thrust upon her, or de-
MED. Greater than any difficulty OF
this sort is a more practical one regard
ing hospitality. When visiting cler-
gyman comes to the church, when mis-
sionaries, and secretaries, and evan
gelists, and lecturers appear, the parish
is usually willing to have the ministers
wife reap all the blessing from the en-
tertainment of "angels, unawares."
