three inches deep, is the distinguishing
feature.
One of the newest bodices is made Of
luxeuil lace and has many of the char
acteristics of the Russian blouse. 1t
fastens at the side in a scalloped edge
and is slightly bouffant. Tabs are
sparsely set below the belt, and epau-
lets adorn the tops, of the tight fitting
sleeves. A bodice of this kind must be
worn only with elaborate dress skirts
and is not intended to conform to tailor
ed ones. The lace blouse is another
proposition which is quite permissible
and in keeping with the severity of
straps and stitched seams.
Lace will enter conspicuously into the
beauty schemes devised for summer

now TO WASH HANpKERcH1EFs

Where one has a few good handker-
chiefs it is far better to wash them at
home instead Of trusting them to the
tender mercies Of the washerwoman,
and you are quite repaid by the result.
Plain white handkerchiefs can be wash
ed in warm water n soap after soak
ing an hour in cold water. Delicately
colored ones should be washed at once,
without previous soaking, in warm wa
ter in which a ~teaspoonful of paraff1n
has been put. Dry IN the sun and iron
with a moderately hot iron with a piece
of soft calico over the handkerchief.

A PRETTY cHATELA1NE BAG.

Fashion has made the wearing OF the
imperative. The woman who
shopping driving or walking must
have some place to stow trinlsets and
the necessary handkerchief. The mo-
.diste denies the fashionable woman q
pocket in her gown, and the big sleeve
that used to be so convenient q place in
which to tuck small parcels and hand-

History is full of accounts of the fas-

young. Thus Helen of Troy was over
40 when she perpetrated the most ia

not nave been very juvenile when the

which will form a very good protec-
ton against the winds.
In selecting a hat, a turban or a
toque is the most sensible thing to
wear during the windy months, for
the pins that hold those large, wide
brimmed hats in place are a menace
to the health of the scalp. The wind
strikes the wide brims, knocking the
hat about on the head so that the pins
tug fiercely at the hair in an effort to
get away. The strain upon the roots
of the hair is SO great that the inev-
table result of constant wearing Of
topheavy hats is premature badness.

Newfoundland Politics.

ST. JOHNS, H. F., Nov. 1.-THE most
strenuous political campaign that has
ever taken place in Newfoundland closed
today and tomorrow the general election
will be held. The contest is considered
the most important and far reaching in
the history of the colony. On the one
side are arrayed all the forces that can be
marshalled by the government of the day
led by Premier Bond and Mr. Morris,
while opposed to them are the tremend-
our influences welded by the multi
millionaire, R. G. Reid, popularity known
as the car of Newfoundland.
The International importance of the
contest is found in the fact that the
government leader, Robert Bond, is
making the issue the negotiation of
treaty of reciprocity with the United
States on the same lines as the old pro-
posed Bond.Blaine treaty, while his op-
pouent A. B. Morine, whose interests are
closely allied with those of Mr.. Reid,
opposes any closer relations with the
United States and is understood to favor
the annexation of Newfoundland to the
dominion of Canada.

Canadian Elections Today.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 7-According to
the predictions which are being made in
political circles here, Sir Wilfred Lau-
rier's government will be sustained by a
majority of 40 to IS in the general parli-
mentary election which is in progress
today throughout the dominion. The
present fight between liberals and con-
servatives is the most strenuous in the
political history of Canada and the size of
the liberal majority predicted is indica-
i've OF the uncertainty which prevails as
10 the outcome. In nearly all of the 123
constituencies nominations have been
made by both of the great parties, and in
few there are third candidates running
as independent and labor party repre-
sentatives.

JONES AS A PROPHET.
Interesting Statement From Chairman Jones
ia the Light Of Today's Retaras.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3-Chairman Jones of
The democratic national committee, fur.
r;shed to the Associated Press the follow
inc statement covering the outlook from
his standpoint:
"The fight is won. Bryan and Steven
con will be elected. The democratic ma
;orty in the electoral college will be ann
,1e The democrats will hold all the
states they carried in 1896, with the posi-
bile exception Of Wyoming. We will also
carry New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
MARYLAND, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Ohio. Indiana, and Illinois. The chair
man of the state committee of California
has lust wired me that we will carry that
state by 10 900 majority.
"In general way, would state that
there will be somewhat of falling off
in Bryan's strength, compared with 1896,
west of the Mississippi and that east
of the Mississippi he will make over
whelming gains. The campaign has
been spirited one from the start. The
democrats were somewhat handicapped
for want of funds, while the republicans,
as four years ago, had more money than
they could use. The republicans have
endeavored to intimidate laboring men
and alarm business men, but not with
the fierce oppression they brought to bear
in 1896. 1t is my opinion that intimida-
ton has been failure this year, and
thtt both workingmen and business men
will vote according to the dictates of
conscience. Of course, the trusts, the
great aggregations of combined capital,
the seekers for franchises in Porto Rico
and the Philippines, the promoters and
exploiters generally, have spared no ef-
fort and will spare no effort to re-elect
Mckinley. 1t is my firm belief, how
ever that the electorate cannot be de-
bauched this year to sufficient extent to
throttle the public will. The country is
aroused as it has not been since the days
preceding the Civil war. The existence of
the form of government established by
the fathers is at stake. Whether the
trusts shall govern the country, or the
country regulate the trusts, must be de-
cided. It will be found when the votes
are counted that the people have declared
with interest that the republic must be
preserved, that the power of the trust
must be curbed, that the man must be
considered above the dollar. and that the
voice Of the people can not be suppressed
by Intimidation or corruption.
"The states that will vote for Mr.. Bryan
will show that the people have confidence
in him from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the northernmost to the south
ernmost boundaries of the republic.

The Strike in Baltimore

1HS AetO6.
For q week the city has been in practical
darkness, owing to the strike of the trimmers
in the employ of the United Electric Light and
Power Company, and now comes the posi-
bility that the people may be deprived to some
extent, if not wholly, of the benefits of quick
communication by telephone. The spread of
the electrical workers strike, while not unex-
pected. is most unfortunate and the results
viewed in any way will not be conducive to
the pleasure and happiness of the people at
large. Indeed, there is an element Of danger,
physical danger, in the strike which the city
authorities may do well to look into and guard
against. Without workmen to repair breaks
in the hundreds of overhead wires, the multi
Piication Of the dangerous live wire will be
nearly all the companies using the overhead
wires have gone on a strike, and the seeming
inability of the corporations to secure non.
union workmen will initiate against the rapid
repairing of such breaks The danger from
this source is so apparent and so great that
drastic measures must be taken to guard
against it.

Luxuries and Prosperity.


In 1889 as many pianos were sold in the
great wheat-producing States of the northwest
as had been disposed Of in the same territory
during the previous six years. In the east the
standard of luxury is diamonds, in the west it
is top buggies. In 1897 the total value of the
diamonds imported into the United States was
~, 0OO, 900. in 1899 it reached the astonishing
figures of $l2, 900, 900. In the matter of top
buggies it is stated that during the last year
twice as many were made and sold as during
any previous year in the history Of the indus
try. Almost equally significant are the figures
on imported millinery, which must surely be
put down as an article of luxury. In 1888 the
total value of millinery goods brought to the
the United States from abroad was S2,650, 900,
an increase of more than $500, 900 over the
figures in 1897. In the same way the value
of the imported pictures and other works Of
art increased from 81. 300 900 in 1898 to 81, 800
600 in 1899. Add to this demonstration of
prosperity the figures furnished by the savings
banks of the country, which show how the
poorer classes of the people are progressing,
and the picture is even more impressive. In
1889 there were in the United States in all
100000 depositors in the savings banks of
the country. Ten years later, in 1899, there
were no less than 5, 400, 600 depositors, gain
of ], 400, 900 in ten years. In 1894 each deposit
tor had an average of 1869 in bank. In 1899
the average had risen to $419.

SPEAKING OF the trusts and the political
parties the New York San says: Every polit-
ical party which places candidates in the field
at the Presidential election this year will have
something to say in its platform against trusts.
The difficulty of defining the precise thing
which it is intended to denounce makes an
antitrust plank safe enough for anybody. No
one can say that it will lead toward any par
ticular method of procedure in dealing with
the commercial combinations which are the
objects of attack. "A trust is bad thing; let's
pitch into it II Is the substance of the politi-
clans reasoning on the subject"

of her happiness full as the end of her training

FROM PRESENT indications it would appear
that the war in South Africa israpidly nearing
its end. At first the British met with numer-
Gus reverses. but lately their forces have proven
victorious and their ultimate success seems
now assured. The war has been in progress
less than six months, but it has cost the British
government $500, 900 600. while the Beers are
out $40, 600 900. Forty odd thousand men have
been either killed or disabled on both sides.
