NOBODY MOURNING.
Demise of the AItgeId Democracy
Causes No Sorrow Where
1t Is Known.

Speaking of the social and political
conference in Detroit, A. M. Smons,
who is designated as a. Chicago So
cialist, said: Gov. Aitgeld told me
ten days ago that the Altgeld democ-
racy was dead"
The Altgeld democracy was a fly
on the wheel of the Cleveland democ-
racY. 1t came into power as a re-
suit of the Cleveland victory of 1892
and it's first great mistake was the
idea that it gave Cleveland the vote
of Illinois, whereas it. was entirely
clear that but for Cleveland there
would have been no Altgeld in the
governors chair.
This error influenced most of the
performances of the gold democracy
afterward. 1t encouraged fusion,
boiling, the surrender of democratic
principles, attacks upon democrats
and radical departures of various
kinds which could result only in dem
ocratic disorder and defeat.
Except on the one occasion when
the Altgeld democracy, if that is
what it is to be called, was allied
with the genuine democracy, it never
achieved any success at the polls and
never accomplished anything except
the disruption of the party for which
it pretended to act.
No wonder it is dead. 1t ought to
have died earlier. No genuine demo-

have been signing for, warm weather.
1t is upon us with a vengeance, and
it's effect has been to bring out all
the promised brightness of the mid
summer fashions. The pretty summer
costumes are by no means all expen-
sive ones, and many of the most
charming ones are of the less expen-
sive materials.
The simple muslin blouses and the
batiste shirts are in such pretty pat
terms and dainty colors that they are
as attractive as if they were more
| costly. Innumerable tiny tucl<s adorn
most of the thin blouses. A box plat
| down the center, with multiplicity
of tuckings on either side, is popular
in batiste and mercerized cotton.
| The bolero, to which womankind
| has been so long faithful, appears on
blouses in the form of lace or en-
| broidered muslin. A charming speci-
men of this order of garment is in
| pink and white floral design muslin
made with a deep collar of ecru mus
| lin on which are embroidered leaf
| shapes of pink cretonne worked
round with ecru-toned thread. A
| band of guipure in the same tint
| trims round the bolero and also
| makes band round the elbow, be-
meath which point there is gradu-
| ated puff of embroidered ecru muslin.

have seen it on the fashionable toque.
The use of this cretonne trimming
is well illustrated in a handsome
gown that I saw recently, and which
had a parasol to match. The gown
was fashioned of dove gray lisse,
with lace and silk cretonne applique,
narrow satin ribbon and D'Alencon
lace. The skirt was of the lisse, with
three wee tucks down the center to
just above the knees, where it is
trimmed with rows of narrow black
satin ribbon, then the cretonne APP
plique of white satin and lace, and so
on to the hem, where it is finished
with a ruffie of D'Alencon lace The
bodice had chemisette and stock cov-
cred with the applique. Deep
pointed revers, and full vest of the
lace, with a bolero effect covered with
applique. The sleeves were of the
applique, with tucks of the lisse, and
putting of white chiffon, and narrow
ruching below.
A much more simple and yet quite
effective gown that shows the ere
tonne trimming. This gown was of
a delicate green foulard. The skirt
had graduated founce, with accor-
dion plating at each side of three
small tucks. The tucks were stitched
for very short distance. The bodice
had a tucked vest of French muslin,
with slightly full bodice at each
side. This is caught with a lacing
of black velvet ribbon. A sailor col
lar of tucked muslin, trimmed with
cretonne applique of white satin and
lace. Paquin sleeves of the foulard,
with putting of French muslin, and
finished with cretonne applique.
One of the novelty jackets of which
so many varieties are seen these sum-
mer days is of black taffeta, made
just to the waist line, and resembles
very much some of the little French
coates. II hangs loosely from the
shoulders and is made in large tucks
running around the body. A deep
sailor collar, and revers of white sat
in, with an applique of rose panne
velvet, and white chenille, with sill
yer threads run through. Silver but
tons ornament the front, with the
owners monogram engraved on them
if one likes. The upper part of the
sleeves are in large tucks, with bell
shape at the wrist, ornamented with
two large silver buttons.
Now we have just what so many

things, he had found nothing that
would in any way relieve him. Some

and he used six boxes. and was COM

His first thought was for brother

be afflicted in the same way that
he had been. Mr.. Watt Immediately
sent a supply of Dodd's Kidney Pills
to this far-away brother, together
with his recommendation based on
his fortunate experience.
