with this suit, and one feature Of it
should have attention. That is the cut at
the bottom. You see, the low dropped
belt is not always enough to emphasize
the long front, so bodice and waistcoat
fronts are finished with fitted tabs below
the belt. 1t is plain that dressmakers
reckon, and shrewdly, that women have
become trained to expect the belt line at
least three inches below the actual waist
line. These tabs accomplish just what
dropped belt does, and as. the belts are

There is a strong liking for dresses that
are dotted OF splashed with color or with
applique work, and the variety in these
eowss is very great, the range being

in the most striking fashion possible. Gre

Tired of McKinleyism.

Some effort has been made to account
for the recent Democratic victories in
the Western cities by personal and To-
cal causes. fractional differences and so
forth. All these elements have to be
considered, but the fact remains that
the elections of this spring all over the
country, both East and West, have
very largely resulted in Republican de
feats and Democratic victories. When
the Democrats have been organized
and in earnest they have found the pop
ular sentiment with them. People are

The Chinese Sniree.

When you call on a Chinaman who is
able to have a servant, the first thing
that the servant does is to bring in two
cups of tea. He puts one in front Of
the master and one in front of the Wis
itor Then the master indicates that
you shall drink from the cup before
you. If you want to incur his everlast-
ing enmity 60 ahead and drink. He
merely asks you to drink for politeness'
sake. He does not want you TO do it
and expects you to refuse for polite
ness sake. Let ing the tea stand in
front of you, you proceed with your
interview, and you are at liberty TO
continue it. and you may feel that you
are welcome until the host picks up his
cup and takes a sip. That is the polite
way he has of telling you that the in
teryiew is ended. The polite thing for
you TO do then is to take one sip of your
tea and depart. The right to drink the
first sip of tea. however. goes with
rank If the visitor outranks the host,
no matter how much the host may
wish 10 be rid of him. he must sit until
the visitor chooses to take a sip Of his
tea-New York Sun.

Why Republicans Acouiesce.

1t is because the Republicans hope to
found party among the reputable and
representative white voters of the
South that they look with such equa-
nimity on the abridgement of the illit-
crate black vote, feeling sure that with
the elimination of the fear of negro
supremacy the whites will divide on
current economic and political issues.
1t would be idle to contend that such
expectations are entirely baseless. With
the negro question out of the way, the
Southern whites would be free to align
themselves on the other questions that
most closely affected them.--Lousville

CALLAHAN SET FREE.
Jury that ACquits Cuhahy Suspect De-
uouuced by the Judge,


To the surprise of the court, and oven
tile defendant, the Omaha Jury declared
James Callahan guiltless OF any COM
plicity in the kidnapping Of Eddie Cud-
ahy, the millionaire packers son. Judge
Baker, who presided ut the trial, followed
the announcement of the verdict with one
of the most bitter arragnmeuts ever
heard in the Omaha criminal court room.
1T Is impossible for me to conceive" he
said, ''how twelve men Of ordinary intel
ligence could have reached such Il con
clusion after hearing the absolutely con
vincing arguments in this case. If Cal
lahan had selected his own representa-
tives he could not have chosen more wise
ly in his own behalf, and if the State, on
the other hand, had chosen it could not
have pointed out twelve men who would
have been more blind to it's interests. I
do not know what motives actuated you
in this decision, but | hope none of you
will ever again appear in this jury box.
You are discharged without the compli-
ments of the court. The defendant is
likewise discharged-1 presume TO con
tinue in the criminal course in which you

are highly conspicuous. The figures are

and suits is now an accepted finish. This
season the idea is adapted to dressier
gowns, and founces with ragged edge are
swagger. In some of the gowns of this
character the idea seems exaggerated. and
the example chosen fer the next picture
was bit startling, but the newness of
the notion, according to its upholders
quite excuses such striking dresses. This
gown was in an ola rose silk and wool
material, the scalloped edges raw, Often
such edges are buttonholed with Persian
silk, and again such edge stitching is
much more elaborate. 1t seems a pity
that the dainty wrist undersleeves were
overdone, but the newer deep-ftted cuff
is handsome. The sleeve ends loosely
at the elbow, the undersleeve that there
appears to escape being fastened down
by a long cuff of the dress stuff which
fits over the hand, the ''undersleeve" be-
ing thus reduced to just an elbow puff.
Gowns like that of the middle figure OF
this picture are fine ones for slender
women, the pleated skirt, bolero and deep
girdle constituting the most suitable
dressing possible. This one was dove

William Perrine, in the Ladies' Home

to begin each morning with a prayer
of thanks for protection during the
night, and to review the day in her
evening orison. Among the women of
the synagogue, in which she would not
tolerate the least departure. from the
law and preeepts, her judgment was
regarded by the faithful as hardly
short of inspiration. In her phslan-
thropy and in her pursuit of education
al improvement Rebecca Gratz knew
no creed. She helped to found an asy-
lum for orphans in which she served
with Christian colleagues. The first
Hebrew Sabbath school in America of
which she was long the head, owed its
origin TO her, and into a sewing socie-
ty, intola system for dlstrIbutfng fuel
to the poor. and into countless little
tasks of charity, she was foremost in
gathering the energies of Jewish wom-

Philadelphia it came to be the habit to
point her out as the good Jewesss not
less often than the beautiful Jew-ess.
