Pockets in STOCKINGS.

Stocking pockets are the latest fad,
New York dry goods man said the
other day They are made to hold a
roll Of bills, jewelry and valuables
that can be stored away in small
space. The pockets are worked into
the top Of the hose. above the knee,
and are made with fastening, so
that there Is no danger Of their con-
tents falling out. There are so many
sneak thieves who steal from bed
rooms while the family Ia at dinner,
from carriages and from other places
where women are Obliged to leave
their money and jewelry when they
are not in use, that the safe receptacle
about the clothing of the owner is an
absoute necessity. Pockets are not
generally found in women's dresses,
and the stocking pocket has suggested
itself to some inventive genius. 1t
looks as If these new pockets would
be as safe as any that could be de-
vised.

"Some time ago our daughter, Mrs. Eliza
beth Topping, was so badly afflicted with
nervous prostration that she nearly lost her
mind. She was unable to do any work and
suffered so much that she got into the HABIT
of using morphine to quiet her nerves. This
condition lasted nearly three years, and she
was almost total wr@k in body and mind
when lady told US about DR.. Miles Nerv-
inc and we began giving it to her. A few
bottles of this wonderful remedy cured her
of the morphine habit, and removed the trou-
Bile which had been the sause of her suffering.
Since then she has been a well woman"

ladies' Waist,

Exquisite all-over laces are shown
for evening wear and many of the
new toilettes are made with yoke and
sleeves of this dainty material. China
blue poplin is here combined with deli
cate white lace, black ribbon velvet
run through insertion of a heavier
weave forming the trimming.
The waist is modelled over a fitted
lining, which closes invisibly in the
back. The backs are plain across the
shoulders, with the fullness arranged
In tiny plaits at the waist. The front
is slightly bloused, but fits smoothly
over the shoulders and bust. The
broad, long shouldered effect produced
in this model is exceedingly fashiona-
BILE at present.
The entire yoke and sleeves may be
underlined with silk or satin in a con.
trasting color. For evening wear the
upper part of yoke and the long
sleeves may be omitted with the styl-
ssh effect shown in small illustration.

Favors Vertical Writine,

After experimenting for a year or
more in the Philadelphia schools with
a vertical system Of penmanship, the
Superintendent of Education in that
city is preparing to recommend that
the system be required to be taught
in all the lower-grade schools. 1t has
been tried in 1872 of the city schools
and the principals of 163 of these
schools reported that the penmanship
had improved in their schools since its
introduction. No one stated or inti-
mated that the penmanshjp had de-
Perforated. 1t is the opinion of the
primary teachers that vertical writing
Is easier to teach, more readily
learned by the pupils, is more legible
than the oblique hand. and that the ex-
pertinent has improved the penman-
ship in their schools. The only criti-
cism that they make, and that is not
universal, Is that it cannot be written
as rapidly as the obliQue system. In
quiry made in 100 cities where the ver-
tical system has been introduced
brought ninety reports that the expert
ment had been most successful 9th
er evidence in it's favor has been COL
lected from forty normal schools in
various parts Of the country.-N. Y.

Profits of One Trust.

If any doubt existed as to whether
the trusts are making money, the Of
ticial figures of the Standard Oil Com
pany, which is one of huge monopolies
that control necessity of life and
comfort, may be examined for profitable
information. The capital stock of this
corporation when it began life was very
small. With the assistance of friends
who were placed on railroad boards of
directors, and the consequent discrim-
nations against the Standards com
petitors in the matter of freight rates,
huge profits were made. So great were
that the surplus, even after paying
enormous dividends, became unweildy,
and the capital stock was doubled again
and again, not by payments of cash for
the new certificates issued, but by ex-
changing each share OF old stock for
two and three shares of new.
Upon these millions of dollars of
"watered" capitalization, the directors
declared dividends of the following
amounts during the,past nine years, the
figures given being official: In 1891 to
1895, inclusive, II per cent each wear:
in 1896, 81 per cent; in 1897, 80 per cent:
in 1898, 81 per cent: in 1899, 30 per cent.
For the first quarter of 1900 a dividend
of 20 per cent has been declared, and
no less than As per cent is predicted for
the whole year.
Oil was placed in the earth by the
Creator for the benefit of mankind, not
for the purpose of permitting few to
become mllionares at the expense of
the many.

Why Did We Annex 1t?

From the North American.
VIII some of the gentlemen who insist
upon treating the Porto Ricans as aliens
after we have invited them under our
nag kindly answer question? What
did we annex Porto Rico for? Was it
simply for coaling station? Then why
did we take an island with thirty-five
hundred square miles of territory and
million people? If we were merely
looking for strategic naval bases we
could have found a better one in St.
Thomas, which would have been a
naval station pure and simple, with
no swarming population to embarrass
lis with its products and its complaints.
But if we were looking for expansion,
why do we refuse to expand? WHY
should we drag a populous island by
main force within our national fence
and then kick it out again?

that the only things to be considered
are their interests. But the Porto
Ricans have not only interests but
rights. If we refuse to make them a
part of the United States they have an
indsputable right to manage their own
affairs-to decide what tariff they will
enforce against us and what against
the outside world. Porto Rico has
nearly three times as many inhabitants
now as Massachusetts had in 1878, but
when the British parliament said that
the people of Massachusetts should pay
a duty Of three pence pound on tea
the Bostonians put on their war paint
and threw the taxed tea into the harbor
What excuse can we give before the
bar of conscience for ourselves rebelling
against taxation without representation
and then imposing it on the Porto
Ricans? How can we praise our an
cestors for revolving against the pay
ment of duty on one single article if
we make the Porto Ricans pay duties
several times as high on thousands of
articles, including the very one that
furnished the occasion for the Boston
Tea Party?

From Wilmington, Del, Justice.
Scratch any imperialist in America
today and you will find a man who
cares nothing for the rights of men,
either at home or abroad. Monarchists
at heart, plutocrats by political train
Ing and aristocrats by association, are
the men who dominate and control the
Republican party today. What to them
are the great questions of human rights,
self government and natural develop
ment under just conditions? Absolute
ly nothing. But power through land
grabbing, and enrichment through the
spoilation of people in subjection-
these are very much. And Mckinley,
the very man for their purpose, takes
up the program as the great national
policy.
Weakling that he is, Mckinley knows
that without his party his policy of
criminal aggression could not last a
fortnight. Therefore the economic
policy of the few is made the political
policy of great party. The orders
have gone forth. Every partisan organ
from the metropolitan daily to the
cross-road weekly must pipe up its little
tune in unison. Every spokesman.
actual or expectant, takes up the hue
and cry: Save the party Back up the
president! Protect the national honor!
And so on.
Oh, the shame of it, that a great
party that once stood for human rights
should stoop so low to do the bidding
o! such contemplate leaders. From
Lincoln to McKinley-how great the
iall. Today the president and his
party constitute the supreme menace
TO Americas further progress. Every
true American must spurn them with
lasting contempt else onr life is gone.

oBERLIN CARRIERS CASE.
The Former Captain Must Serve His
Prison Sentence.

Chief Justice Fuller, in the Supreme
Court. yesterday handed down an opinion
in the case Of Oberlin NJ. Carter. formerly a
captain in the Engineer Corps. L. s A.
dismissing the appeal from the decision of
the Circuit Court for the Southern district
Of New York. 1t is understood that this
opinion is the final disposition OF the case,
so far as the courts are concerned, and
that Carter will serve the remainder of his
sentence Of five years at the military prison
at Fort BeavenwoTth.
The case was disposed of by the Supreme
Court on writ OF error to the Court OF
Appeals for the Second circuit. an appeal
from its judgment affirming the judgment
Of the Circuit Court for the Second circuit,
denying Carriers petition for release on d
writ of habeas corpus. .....4 .. .-..a.
Chief Justice Fuller said announcing the
opinion. that the case had been before the
Supreme Court once before on a petition
for a writ of certiorari to the Court of APP
peals to send the case up TO the Supreme
Court for review which had been denied
the same day. These actions. the Chief
Justice said, could rot be sustained and
were therefore dismissed.
Solicitor General Richards asked that the
mandate 90 dOwr at Once-that there had
been much delay in the case. This was op-
posed by Mr. Rose, counsel for Carter. who
said the captain was serving out his SEN
tence at Governors Island and no damage
would result from delay.
Later it was determined to issue the
mandate today. Upon the receipt OF
that by the officials having Carter in
charge he will be sent 10 Fort Leaven-
worth, where the court directed him 10 lie
sent, to serve out his sentence
