THE NEELY CASE

From the Baltimore Sun. a' @''-
 The course of this case has not been un- observed by the general public, which is beginning to wonder why one postponement should follow another if the premises in the case have justified the action thus far taken. Unless the government experiences a return of its determination to push this Neely matter, the voter on election day will have more to consider than the broad. national question of the evils of imperial ism.

Soon once more the voice of the STUMP
speaker will be heard in the land, mass
meetings will occur in abundance in all
sections and eloquence will flow to the
more or less satisfaction of all. The
torch-bearer will also probably appear
again, perhaps in all the glory of a
campaign suit, transparencies will be
borne and campaign sandwiches and
coffee will refresh the battalions after
their long marches over hill and dale.
The democrats will point with pride to
Jefferson, Jackson, Grover Cleveland and
to Bryan the effervescent whose wordy
eloquence seems unquenchable and in
exhaustible The democrats seem cer-
| tain to have hot time in their nation
al convention. Their cold shivers will
come later, after the votes of the presi-
Dental election are counted. But their
nominating convention days will be
warm enough for they meet to nomi-
| nate their candidates at Kansas City on
the Fourth of July, when the summer
| meridian. The Fourth is a hot day
even in austere and cool New England,
but Fourth of July in Kansas City
well, it will be too hot for anything. The
Baltimore Sun remarks with JUNCTION
that 'the Fourth of July is always
hot day even on the mountain tops, but
Kansas City's Fourth of July is said to
be several degrees hotter than that Of
any other place on earth Kansas
City is, moreover, sin the heart of a sec
ton where democrats are red hot all the
year round, and where political con-
,servatism Is regarded as crime Of the
blacklist dye" The Sun then proceeds
to encourage the democrats little by
declaring that the republicans are man
ufacturing formidable issues against
themselves, and making them in variety
SO that the coming campaign is sure to
be "a fervent one" Kansas City, there
fore, will be an appropriate place in
which to build a platform hot enough
for the situation.
Fortunately, however there is little
doubt that the record of the republican
party will stand the scrutiny to which
it will be subjected, and that four years
more of good rule and national prosper
ity will result, while Mr.. Bryan"s hopes
will be dashed again.

given by himself at the Livingston Ex-
hlbition here this evening. Surgeon Ma
Jor Ross, before large audience, dealt
with his subject in a popular style, and
series of microscopic slides, repro
duced as dissolving views, served to
make his meaning clear, as he explained
that the fever known as malarial was
due to the presence of corpuscles of the
blood of it's victims of particular para
site, of which there must be 100000, 900
in order to produce an attack of fever,
In fully grown man, and that these
parasites were injected into healthy per-
sons by the bite of mosquito raised
from the eggs of one that had previous
ly drawn blood from an infected per-
son. Only one description of mosquito
or gnat-for DR.. Ross declares there is
no difference between these pests-s
capable of causing this mischief the
Anopheles, and of that order only the
female. The fact that this insect can
exist only on fiat and marshy ground
and that it's eggs must be laid in water
explains the view that was commonly
held not long since that the fever was,
caused by the exhalations arising from
swamps.--London Daily News. IL.

HAVE DOGS AN ALMANAC?
Have dogs an almanac? That is

Have dogs an almanac? That Is a
question that has exercised" the
minds of their loving observes. That
they always know Sunday is certain.
Where Sunday is bad day for the
dogs, to show them aprayer book is to
send them back mournfully to their
beds. But many dogs need no book
for token. They rise in low spirits
on the day of rest, dropping melancho-
ly tails and ears and lips. Some one
says; ooh, yes; we know that dogs
are creatures of habit The seventh
day comes regularly round. They feel
the flight of time" But this theory
does not cover all the facts Of the case.
The dogs that belong to families keep
ing saints days (Which don't occur
with the regularity of the Sabbath)
are equallyaware that thefestivals Of
their masters are no red letter days
for them. "Of course, it is the Sunday
go to meeting hats and bonnets" ex
planned a cock sure junior some time
ago. But it is not this! Neither Is 1t
the church bells ringing, as some one
else suggested. For at French water
ing place, at villa out of the reach of
sounds of bell ringing, where the ram
lily had no peculiar livery for Sunday
mot smarter coats, tall hats or femi-
nine fiery-and where even the books
were not carried in the hand, being
locked up in receptacles in the church,
the dogs got up limp and detected on
Sundays, and on holidays too, and
stayed in the same depressed condi-
tion until the hours for church going
We're past and going out again meant
starting up a nice, doggie walk!
Is it not for Maggie Tulliver, who has
been CROSSED in love-" that some one
tenders a recipe likely to cure her, in
the words, Give the girl pup?' 1t
is offered to the reader as an uncon-
scious humorous suggestion. Many
accept it in this sense and laugh at 1t.
But that is their mistake, I venture to
think.-London Mail

Brains IND ICON.

| Great has been the advance in the
production of iron and steel through
out the world in the last thirty years.
In 1870 the entire output of pig iron in
the three principal producing coun-
tries, Great Britain, the United States,
and Germany, was only little over
100000 tons. In the year 1898 the out
put was more than 27,0O0000 tons. and
the increase in the next year may be
estimated at 100000 bringing the total
up to 30,000,0OO tons.
In the progress of production the
United States has outstripped all com
petitors and has taken the leading
place, which only ten years ago be-
longed to Great Britain. Thirty years
ago we produced only 1,665,OOO tons.
while Great Britain produced nearly
100000 tons. In 1898 Great Britain
had advanced only to S631,O00 tons,
while our product was nearly 100000
tons. and for 1899 is estimated at A.
100000 tons. A year ago, therefore, the
increase in the product of this country
was fully sevenfold, while that Of
Great Britain was only SO per cent. In
the same time the production of Ger
many had increased from a little less
than 1,40o,000 to little more than T.
100000 tons, or about fivefold Ger
many has not, however, overtaken
Great Britain, and still is some 40 per
cent. behind the United States The de-
velopment of the iron ore beds of the
Lake Superior region accounts in part
for this marvellous advance. These ores
are fitted for the Bessemer process and
can be mined and put in the market at
very low cost. The advance is also due
in part to the great advance in the econ
omy and efficiency of railroad trans
portation Both in production and In
transportation the splendid and fruitful
results have, however, been absolutely
dependent on the vast combinations of
accumulated capital and the close or
of ability of all needed sorts
Brains and capital have contributed to
this gigantic result.
Another result achieved is the denol-
ition Of the theory long held and main
tanned that America could not COM
pete with the old world in the iron
business

worn, but it is well to have one that
matches it, besides others. A cloth
skirt of tea color is, perhaps, still more
useful. 1t will cleanse and always look
we'll. Tea color or soft oyster color
blends charmingly with all delicate
shades, but beware of any color verg-
ing on tan for the skirt.
The newer cloth gowns that are at all
elaborate give little chance for the use
of fancy waists. In most of them skirt
and bodice are not only equal in COM
plications, but are closely matched
thereby, in others the elaboration is in
equal amount in the two portions, and
while one series does not match the
other both harmonic and neither will
stand by itself to advantage The gown
presented here is illustrative. Both it's
skirt and bodice were ON the layer plan,
and while they were not an exact
match, neither would look we'll unless
accompanied by some just such ar
rangement. Pastel green cloth was the
material, black velvet supplying bod
ice belt and tiny bows. The latter were
held by steel buttons. The bodice belt
appears frequently among these new
dresses, and in many bolero suits as
sumes much larger proportions than
this one had. Frequently, too, peas
ant belt effect and a waistcoat sugges-
ton are SO adroitly combined that it
is difficult to tell which is the dominant
scheme. Very wide sash belts and eff
fects appear beneath boleros, also.

II ERE AND TIL Err X.

The country has various subjects on
hand for discussion which are of more
than ordinary interest. The two great
political parties are shaping and squar-
ing themselves for the great political
battle which looms up in the not dis
tant future. New issues, appear and
new men come to the front. Porto Rico,
among the Antillee, has good share
of the nations attention at present 1t
Is to be hoped that the protracted en-
deavor on at Washington to get at the
proper solution Of the tariff question re-
garding Porto Rico will be eminently
successful One of the knotty points in
the case which comes up is how Ameri-
cans who settle or have business inter-
este in Porto Rico, which is now part
of our national domain, will like being
taxed, if the present tariff bill is made
a law on things they export to or i'm
port from their own country. There are
many aspects to the bill which are now

it seems to be question as to whose
OK Is likely to get gored. There is the
| tribunal of the highest court moreover
before which many think the problem
of the constitutional relations between
this country and Porto Rico ought to be
settled. Porto Rico is in sorry plight,
and President McKinIey's stand in his
message regarding that new acquisition
to our territory meets with widespread
approval.
Then there is the coming question as
to our attitude in regard to our trade
with the Philippines, which will be a
good topic for our national debaters and
our wide-awake debating clubs. There
are, moreover, various other subjects
men talk over in the absence of great
football games and disputes" in the
prize rings. There is the tremendous
fight which Cronje is putting up against
LORD Roberts Hemmed III by mis- oppo-
nents, deluged by shot and shell, the
Boer general refuses to yield. Like the
Irishman of old, he does not seem to
know when he is beaten, or else he is
marking time" heroically to give Jou-
bert and his forces chance to strike a
blow or perhaps fortify Pretoria. The
Beers made a mistake in separating the
armies-a mistake which Lord Roberts
was not slow to improve. A new and
highly interesting chaper is being added

FASHION NOTES.
A skirt OF Gem+rni Usrfnln.s.

No skirt will be more useful for gem
eral dressy wear than one of some
phase of tea or putty color Take a
skirt of tea colored crepe dropped over
an underskirt of lilac silk A half yard
from the hem in front and lifting to
back of the knees at the back is an in
sertion of coarse yellow lace which
shows the lilac. Below this the skirt
flares in a spreading hounce. Above,
the skirt is laid in tiny tucks running
from the belt to the top of t1le inser-
ton. These tucks are all around the
skirt The shade of lilac is very deli
cate. With such skirt fancy waist
of almost any delicate shade may, be
