PERTINENT QUESTIONS

Upon an unsuspecting representative
Of a Balaimore newspaper DR.. Caleb II.
Layton, the Addicks nominee for Con-
gross, and the gasman's salalted lieu
tenant in Sussex county, has indicted
the following grandiloquent phrases;
The Union Republicans are loyal and
sincere in their desire for both national
and state success. They have evil
denced this in every way since their
organization was formed. For four
years we have borne the odium Of po-
litical ostraciam. In no instance have
the Union Republicans shown a dis
loyal spirit either in questions that
concern state affairs or those involving
the national party. They have always
stood for a common primary and ma
jOrity rule. In the present campaign
they early offered a settlement of all
the questions in dispute by referring
everything to the will of the people
and common primary under either tho
apportionment OF the Union Republl-
can party or that OF the Regular Re
publican party. pledging that if the
former party at such a primary should
have the majority to give half of the
state ticket to the other faction.

SOP FOR DIR. FOWLER

The Sunday Star is a Democratic
newspaper, and DR.. Edward Fowler, OF
Laurel, is a Democratic nominee for
representative in Congress, hence it is
surprising that a party organ should
bear such witness as this against a
party candidate:
The nominations made by the Demo
cratic State Convention at Dover on
last Tuesday are all strong with one
exception. The name Of DR.. Edward
Fowler for congressman can add moth
ing TO the ticket, but will have a ten
dancy to pull it down. In the first
place Dr.. Fowler is too old to be Of
much service in a position requiring
incessant activity, and in the second
place he is incompetent A man who

We agree with the Star Here In

Here is an amusing and character
istic story of Lord Salisbury. 1t Is
known that the premier is much too
serious in his mind and occupations to
have much regard for the merely cere-
monial side of life For some years
this failing produced no evil results,
for Lord Salisbury had faithful valet,
who looked after him; but one unhap-
Ply day the valet left, and Lord Sails
bury was reduced to his own resources.
1t was levee day, and the minister was
in the midst of serious business up to
the last moment. He rushed home,
turned out large bundle of uniforms,
of which, of course, he has a quantity,
and took the first that came to his
hand, with the astonishing result that
he wore a coat that belonged to the
elder brethren of Trinity house, dep
uty lieutenants pair of trousers, and
a hat of the Royal archers. Even that
was not the worst. He wore his gar
ter on the wrong side, and things
reached their climax in the waistcoat,
which, dating from an earlier and less
robust period in his life, left between
1t and the trousers what was once
called, in the case of another sparlia
mentarian, "a lucid interval. Boston

Passing of the Tan Shoe,

The popularity of the tan shoe for
women's wear is thing of the past
according to the statements of Lynn
(Mass.) manufacturers who have made
speciality Of their production in late
years. Without exception, the makers
report Il marked falling off in the de-
mand for them, and some concerns
have not sent out any samples of
them for this season.
One of the chief causes for the loss
of popularity which the tan shoe las
sustained is the fact that a tan shoe,
size for size. looks larger than the
black shoe. That alone was enough
to bring it into disfavor, and when,
in addition, it is considered that the
tan shoe, no matter how tastefully
made, could never compare with black
shoes of standard makes in style or
neatness of appearance, it's speedy de-
cline in public favor as soon as the
novelty of the innovation had worn
off, followed as matter of course.
This does not apply, however, to
the more elaborate articles got up in
fancy colOrs, such aa red, blue. pink,
etc, which are meeting with more and
more favor. The fancy slippers and
shoes made of these shades of leather,
and furnished with the French or
Louis XIV. wood heel, are being made
in great numbers this season by Lynn
manufacturers, who report most graft
flying results in the demand.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Autumn Cloths.

The coming of autumn makes the
necessity for choosing materials for
cool-weather apparel an imminent one.
Especially is it important for intend
ing home dresSmakers to make selec-
tons early and to be equipped with
information that will enable them to
know how to do this wisely. There are
fewer actually new weaves in the pres
ent season than have been seen in
several years. Poplins are favOrably
talked Of and prunelles, whipcords,
and Venetian cloths are to be among
the best fabrics employed by conserv.
ative tailors. Plain-tOned effects in
cloths and embossed grounds in silks
may be said to represent the two
classes of goods. Cloths will be seen
in wide range of cOlors, including
tans that are almost as pale as cream,
and deep, rich, brown, blue and green.
The hair-lined striped cloths that have
figured so popularity In mems garments
viii be adopted generally for the more
mannish tailor gowns, but the satin
faced Venetian cloths, prunelles, and
subllmes-the last silk warped and
effective-are to lead in fancy after
noon cloth gowns. Cancels hair plain.
fecked, and suggested plaid effects
will also be plentifully used. Cheviots
and serges will, as usual, lead in ia
vor for smart utility gowns that are
to do service for the morning walk
or hopping.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Gray Haired Woman.

What mistake women often make
in dyeing the hair. The woman of
gray hairs is often much more attract
i've than in her youth. Hair prema-
turely gray is not desirable, of course,
but when the skin is whitening and
wrinkling, the color leaving the lips
and the curves of chin and cheek turn
ing to angles, gray hair has wonder
fully sOftening influence Dyed hair
on an elderly woman plays havoc with
the complexion, bringing out sallOw
touches that almost verge on green,
and giving repellent hardness of
expression to the eyes. A dark wig
is mOnstrosity that ought to make
an elderly person eligible for the asy-
lum for the feeble-minded. Nature is
the best artist, when all is said, and
any tampering with her painting In
normally healthy body is fatal. to
good looks. White haired women, too,
have lavish possibilities of picturesque
ness in their hands in these kindly
days. No longer must they wear sober
black or hideOus purple. Pearl gray,
delicate violet, pastel blue and white,
all are permitted by fashion and good
taste to the white-haired woman.

Teeth VARYING with Food.

The teeth of fish cover, as rule,
not only both jaws, but likewise the
tongue and palate. I'm the sharks
and rays we find supplementary rows
of teeth ready to replace those in
front when use shall have worn them
down or accident rendered them USE
less; and in some Of the rays, notably
in the thornback, the teeth of the male
are sharp and pointed, while those
of the female are blunt and fat This
may or may not indicate that the male
feeds on fish, the female OH shellish;
but such at any rate are the respective
diets assigned to such types of teeth
In the world of waters. In those fish.
as the mullets and surgeons, that eat
soft food, the teeth are either quite
feeble or altogether wanting.
