Will Fave That Many More Men,

MANY STATES GAIN.
The New Bill Increases the Member.
ship in the House Twenty Nine.
Only Two Other States
Increase as Texas Has.

! Washington, Jan. 10y a vote of
/ 49, to l02 the house Tuesday accepted
the reapportiCnment plan proposed by
the Burleigh bill which increases the
membership of the house during the
next decade from 357, the present mem
bership and the membership proposed
by the committee on the Hopkins bill,
to 9Ss. The result was largely brought
about by the influence of senators FROM
several Of the larger northern states,
who threw the weight of their influence
in the scale in favor IF the larger mem
bership.
When at became apparent that these
factors were at work against his bill
Mr.. Hopkins attempted to compromise
by giving an additional representative
each to North Dakota, Colorado and
Florida, hut his adversaries refused to
compromise after complete victory was
assured
The Crumpacker proposition TO re-
commit the bill for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what states had the right to
vote To an extent which would entail
reduced representation was defeated,
1870 to 10. There was no roll call on
this vote, bat number Of Republicans
voted with the Democrats
Under the bill as passed no state loses
a representative and the following make
gains: Illinois, New York and Texas,
three each; Minnesota, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, two each and Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Washington, West Virginia
and Wisconsin one each.
The bill provides that whenever a
new state is admitted the representative
assigned to it shall be in addition to the
number provided in the bill 1t also
adds provision never hitherto incorpO-
rated in a reapportionment bill TO the
effect that congressional districts, in adj
dition to being contiguous shall also
be compact. p"
States which are allowed additional
representatives by the bill shall by its
terms elect them at large until the leg
islature shall redistrict re state.

broideries are almost as fine as lace.
and in a few cases have seen pretty
pattern OF embroidery edged with
narrow rulfle of lace. The japanese
kimono is among the very prettiest OF
the negligees. and it is made long or
short, but instead Of having the sleeves
like those worn by the dainty little
Japanese women they make long flow-
ing ones. Some of the white dressing
sacks have wide sailor collars, trimmed
with all the lace that could be made to
hold on. They are V shape at the neck.
The nightdresses are various, and
yet the prevailing style is suggestive of
the first empire. They have yokcs,
and these are lavishly trimmed with
7 lace and ribbons. Some have pompa-
dour necks, and none has a collar.
Chemises, which have been long laid
aside in favor of the knitted union I'M
dergarments. have regained their old
time favor. and some of the daintiest
garments of the new years output are
the chemises.
One unusually pretty negligee is
made of white japanese washable silk
and Is long-to the feet, in fact-and
has 4 short Mother Hubbard yoke. and
this is bordered with a wide ruffie of
the silk. which can easily be under

This Is trimmed. as are the sleeves and

A Costly Erneriment.

An enterprising Australian million
aire named Leonard took a trip to Pc
IN some years ago. He saw great fiocks
of the alpaca wandering on the Andes.
Being a woolgrower himself, he was
struck with their splendid fleece. He
resolved to buy some and take them
home. He found that the Peruvian
government absolutely prohibited their
export He tried. by chartering a spe-
cial ship. to smuggle some off. but was
unsuccessful. Then the idea occurred
10 him of taking them out of the coun-
try eastward. He bought large flock,
engaged trusty men and bad the crea-
lures driven over the passes. $4,000
feet above sea level. and then clean
across tine continent to Buenos Ayres.
This little expedition cost him $4,000.
But the long march had so weakened
the alpacas that they all died on the
eoyage.

the bottom is Ornamentcd with a
tl0uncc, which is simply the foundation
of five or six other ones. and each is in
turn edged with cluny, fine torchon,

Some even are trimmed with more
expensive lace, but it is quite enough
when the laccs mentioned are used.
Some Of the skirts have but one
nouncc, but this is made deep, and
is inset with six or seven rows of lace
insertion. and the bottom is Just one
row of lace, set on as fun as it can
be gathered. The object of this Pc
culiar way Of using up lots of lace is
TO make the garment cost all it can

idea In the present shape is TO have
the top as tight as il can be made,
and the bottom as faring. This would
signify that we are not yet out OF the
woods, as far as the sheath dress
skirts are concerned.
Some of the white skirts have
nounces made in points, and these
arc decorated with six and seven
tiny ruffles, each having a row Of
lace sewed on in form of another
ruffie, so that the whole sets out wide
ly at the bottom. The white skirts are
much longer than the silk and cotton
ones, as white skirts are more for
dressy occasions, and few wear them
in the streets.
Negligees are among the daintiest ar
ticles of feminine attire. They are of
the shcerest Of batiste and linen lawn
and trimmed with the finest of lace
and embroidery, and these set off with
ribbons of delicate tints. Some few
have embroidery done by hand in
washable silks In various colors. These
are also edged with quantities of lace.

a way to make pretty laces by machin-
cry was invented! Now we can all
