GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Good taste in dress is largely n
matter of educati IN, and no lady can
afford 10 neglect this, no matter what
her station in life may be. A dress
should accord with reason and good
Judgment, bearing in mind that there
is such thing rs beauty of outline
of form that should be constantly
sought for and used SO as to bring
out the results an artist would desire
and appreciate. In no other way
could these results be obtained, ex-
cept by careful education and train
ing in such matters.
There have been MANY attempts
made to get correct system whereby
all kinds of clothing could be cut for
general wear. There have been paper
charts. models, scales. folding and
sliding devices of every conceivable
kind, but none was successful.
There was 10 system for general use
that could Gu: anything beyond "a
plain waist lining and Il plain Sleeve
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter, which was the first.
and is today the only practical and
successful method of cutting and lit
ting all kinds of garments worn. And
again, there is not an article in
America that has been introduced
into family use that gives rs much
satisfaction, saves more time, trouble
and annoyance, and what is better
still-money-than the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter.

mOnd Garment Cutter School, Rock
Island. Gentlemen: | received full
course of instruction in the use of the
Diamond Garment Cutter over two
years ago, and have used it with per-
feet satisfaction ever since.

The Democratic Caucuse..

Considering the intense interest,
not TO say feeling, felt in the demo-
cratic caucuses held in Rock Island
last Saturday night. it is q source of
qualification to observe the orderly,
conservative manner in which all the
meetings were in general conducted.
The Fifth ward was in fact the only
one in the city in which the differ
euces of sentiment approached any
thing like discord. and then every
thing went of quietly. To be sure
it has been freely claimed
that there was a large special
occasion importation of caucus
voters. who seem to have sxerted con-
siderable influence in determining the
result. but be it said to the credit of
the wing of the party against which
this operation was directed, that il
bore the circumstance good natured-
". and merely insisted upon a proper
registration of all participating for
future reference. The controlling
faction acauiesced in this suggestion,
and the result does its own talking.
Suffice is il TO say that it amply Iusti-
iies the precaution taken.
In no other ward was there a divi-
sion, and taken as a whole, the caucuses

MANY CHILDREN TO SING.
BrookIyn's Public Schools to Take
Part In the Big SaenRerfest.

Among the attractions at the coming
national saengerfest, to be held from
June 80 to July >, simultaneously with
the celebration of the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Northeastern saengerbund

direction of nine of the public school
music teachers of the borough. Mr..
Albert S. Caswell, the musical director
of public schools of Brooklyn, will WELD
the baton at the concert, which will
take place on the afternoon Of July 3.
When the plan TO let the children
sing was first proposed, some doubt
was expressed as to the possibility of
securing a sufficient number of chill
dren. Lists were placed in the differ
ent schools to be signed by those de-
sirous of participating, and i'll less than
three weeks more than 10000 names
had been signed. The children posi-
bly, will all come dressed alike. the
girls in white and the boys in black.
If that cannot De done. they will be
furnished with badges and ribbons
They will sing in three sections, those
of the junior grade, the advanced grade
and the high school pupils. as well as
the joint chorus. Among the songs to
be rendered will be 1.-THE Code" THE

Some More of the Political Smokestacks.
Three departments of the Illinois
steel works have been closed and j, 100
men are out of work. The departments
of the big concern that quit work are:
Open hearth furnace, employing 1000
men; plate mills, employing 600 men /;
slab mills. employing 500 men; gas
houses. employing 400 men. No ex-
PLANTATION was given to the men with
the order. The closing of the mills
and the furnaces is for an indefinite
time. No previous intimation of the
action was given by the company,
and many of those who are usually
in close touch with it's affairs say
they had not the least iDkling that such
action on the part of the company
was likely to take place.
1t is simply case of overproduc-
ton is the best explanation that could
he offered, the company being unable
apparently to keep up with the pro-
cossiou of inflated prosperity until
after the election. The keeping up of
the stack smoking for the index fin
ger of the republican party to be
pointed at was too expensive an OPP
