The Democrats are pinning all their
faith on New York, which means, Of
course, on Croker. They acknowledge
that without New York Bryan cannot be
elected. It is easy to see, therefore, If
Bryan should be successful to whom the
credit would belong and who would be

1t would be Croker. -

AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

American Ships Grew.


The story OF the first American voy-
age to Africa, Of which we have
definite record, tells US somewhat OF
the methods employed In obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship. COM
manded by one Capt Smith. went
away to Madeira with salt hsh ana
slaves. Sailing thence, with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast of Guinea" for slaves She founo

there. with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale,

and ION pretense OF some quarrel with
the natives landed a 'murderer'-the
expressive name of a small cannon-at-
tackled negro village on Sunday, KILL
ed many of the Inhabitants and made
few prisoners, two OF whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
in 1642-just twenty-six years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves In Vir-
ginia, as recorded by John Rolfe, the
first American squaw man. False pre-
tense, outrage and slaughter OF inno-
cents characterized the arst-recorded
gathering Of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They killed many
of the inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share Of the plumber. That
Capt. Smiths act was not according TO
the ordinary usages Of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel Win
the ships owners over the proceeds
Of the voyage resulted In a law suit
The story of the voyage was told IN
court, and although it was not Grim
inal trial, one of the magistrates
charged the master with three-foie
offense-murder, man-stealing ane

on everything and everywhere might
well describe the newest undergar'
ments. The favorite skirts fit the
hips quite smoothly, and have tucks
stitched down fat for about six or
seven inches and then fall into fulness.
As far as the trimming Is concerned.
petticoats are one and all finished with
a circular or flaring ruffle, and every
mode that the mind can conceive Is
used in trimming these ruffies. Some
of the lace incrustations appliqued on
the ruffies, and on the upper part, too,
of the imported underskirts. are truly
works Of art. Just to give an idea OF
the elaboration and the quality of ma

The skirt is full and straight, gath

desirable. The plastron is faced onto

New York City.-No style Of bodice
is more generally becoming than the
bolero in it's many forms. The excel
lent May Manton design here Illus
trated is adapted to many materials,
but is never more effective than, as
shown, in black taffeta with applique
Of Persian embroidery. The model
from which the drawing was made is
worn with a skirt of figured black SILK
and over a waist made of ready tucked
mousseline In cream white. The lin
ing Is white satin, but the revers are
faced with black panne, which ADDS
greatly to the effect. The high stock,
which matches the waist, is finished
with an applique Of heavy cream iace.
Pastel tinted taffetas are admirable
and exceedingly attractive for garden
party and informal evening wear, but
the latest hint from Paris tells OF tar
feta enriched by embroidery into
which gold and silver threads are In
troduced. The waist beneath may be
of any contrasting material, but Is
most effective in such diaphanous
filmy stuffs as chiffon, mousseline ana
Liberty gauze.
