The Plumage Veil.

Do you know what causes the sleek,
trim effect of a smart hat and why the
smooth surface Of the breast plumage,
which lies along the left side of the brim
cause Of the little cover Of tulle which
covers the plumage like a clOse-fitting
envelope. Very likely you have not no
ticed it, but it is there, otherwise you
could scarcely have been out in a sea
breeze or high wind without ruffling and
disturbing the short. soft breast feathers.
If the plumage is white very likely the
veil also is white. But a fine black veil
on a white breast of feathers is some
times used. When the white plumage is
specSled with black, you notice it has a
veil on. This detail of millinery is called
the Dlumage veil

HARTE AND THE REPORTERS.

Bret Harte has a great dislike for the
interviewing reporter and viii not

ions of the press and seek the seclusion
his private apartments grants rather than
risk having his views on men or meas
ures recorded. He does not seek to dis
guise this failing-in fact, he rather
glories in the fact that he has been so
successful in avoiding the opportunities
of those who would thrust him into Un-
desirable prominence before the public.

Separate Innings.

Tt might not occur to the uninitiated
that the peculiarly smart effect of our
new LOuisine blouse IS due to the fact
of its being entirely separate from the
lining. Without the lining it would not
fit nearly so well. as il would be apt to
bag above the line Of the corsage. With
the lining set in seam to seam the bodice
would be extremely stiff and lack the
wonderful fit like a sculptured master
piece, yet with loose flowing lines about
the bust, which attend the chef d'OeuVres
known as the new silk bodice. There is a
superb freedom in the set of these mod
ish blOUses, and yet. after all, they fit

the scalp before brushing the hair.
Do this by placing the thumbs behind
the ears, letting the little fingers meet
on the forehead. The rest of the fingers
must be spread over the head, working
the scalp backwards and forwards;
also the scalp should be gently pinched.
This stimulates the circulation, and so
improves the condition of the hair.

SPRADLEY PAROLED.

Governor Stanley has at least one of the
characteristics of President McKinley-he can
change his mind without the least trouble to
himself
Only short time ago, after listening to the
petitions and arguments of S. B. Spradley's
repre- sentatives and friends, Stanley refused to
parole the old man from the penitentiary. He
has changed his mind, however, and Spradley
is out. Our Lone Elm correspondent says his
physician reported that he was threatened
with nervous prostration, upon which ground
he was paroed The Kansas City Journal,
how ever, gives the true reason, which, in SUBJ
stance, is that he governor was finally con-
WINGED that SprAdley shot Hester during a
political quarrel-and Hester was only Pop,
anyhow.
This talk of "political quarrel" is lie,
and those who gave the governor that kind of a
"spiep' knowingly and wilfuly fals6ed.
Mr.. Hester wrote to the governor, requesting
that if he turned Spradey out, to give him an
absolute pardon, instead of parole, but his re-
ouest was ignored. 1t is to be hoped that the
old mans stay in the penitentiary has robbed
him Of his ugly temper.

A NEW PARTY.

Representatives OF the various. reform ele-
ments in Missouri met in Kansas City this week,
to discuss plans for the future and to organize a
new political party for Missuri, with the ulti-
mate purpose of making national party of it.
Those in attendance at the conference were
Populists, Socialists, Silver Republicans, Bryan
Democrats ond Single-Taxers. The new party
has not been fully organized, though name
has been selected ("The Allied Third Party')
and a set of resolutions were adopted embody-
ing the principles of the party, as follows
"Public ownership of all public utilities, as
railroads, telegraph lines, etc.
"While awaiting the legislation necessary to
secure public ownership, rigid control of freigh
and passenger rates, and severe penalties for
rebates and other determinations by railroads.
"Taxation of railroads and other public
utility corporations in the same proportion as
the values of farms and other property.
s'Direct legislation by the initiative and ref
erendum to the end that the people may initiate
good legislation and veto bad legislation.
"A graduated income tax, to the end that
wealth, which receives government protection,
snail lear It's just snare VI tuC CoSl VI SoNSih-
ment.
"That whatever is used as money shall be
full legal tender, issued by the general govern
ment in sufficient volume for business purposes,
and that volume fixed in proportion to the pop
ulation.
..Just election laws throughout the state.
"Home rule for cities and abolition of the
present system of using the police as standing
army to carry primary elections in the interest
Of dishonest politicians representing still more
dishonest special-privilege corporations
ELECTION of United States senators by pop
ular vote.''
Some of the gentlemen who took part in the
meeting visited Bryan at Lincoln, and laid their
plans before. him, with what result we have not
learned.
The new party is on the right track, and if
can be maintained, much good will be accom-
plished. The craftsmanship idea seems to
predominant, and that is the great foundation
principle upon which the coming great party
must be built.

PLAN GIGANTIC BANK.

Last Saturdays Chicago Record Heald gives
an account gigantic bankers project which is
under way, and which is expected to over
shadow all other financial institutions in the
nation outside of the United States treasury.
The deal is being engineered by Oakley
Thorne, presidenr of the North American Trust
Company, and associated with him are some of
the most prominent and successful hnanciers in
New York, who are ready to pfove their conf
dence in the practicability of the scheme by
putting up the funds to carry it out.
The capital stock of the bank will be mil
lion dollars, but that amount will be insignif-
cant compared with the total deposits which
are expected. Only one shares of stock will
be issued, at $40, 900 share, and will be issued
to 100 of the largest banks of the country.
The scheme is opposed by several prominent
Chicago bankers as impracticable.

BIG PLOW TRUST.

All of the great plow-mauuiacturers have en-
tered into gigantic trust. It includes twenty
large concerns which manufacture plows, cul.
tvators, harrows, discs and like implements.
1t is pillow trust, and, as such, will control
the manufacture and sale Of the tools that the
farmer must have. The pillow is the 6rst thing
necessary for the cultivation of the soil, no
matter what sort of farming is doue.
So, next year, the farmer can 60 down into
his pocket for a few dollars more for his new
pillow. He won't mind little thing like that,
though.

CARNEGIE'S VISION.

Andrew Carnegie made prediction in Lon
don, the other day, in the following language
"Mark my words, the time is coming when
the continental powers will combine to smash
ND this little island of Great Britain. When
that happens, she will have to turn to the
United States tor help. feel certain it will
not be refused. The United States will step in
and say Don't. They will act as Great Brit
ain did in the Spanish-American war. What
she did then was great, and it is not half real
lied yet"
Continuing, Mr.. Carnegie said:
81 believe in the community of the English
speaking races, by which I mean that the
Americans and the British are now closer than
ever before. Could you get better instance
than the visit of the delegates of the New York
chamber of commerce to Windsor last Satur-
day? I suggested it, and King Edward took
up the idea thoroughly. 1t was fitting COM
mencement of the new reign.
~ know how deeply interested King Edward
is in the United States.
"The idea that the visit of our delegates to
Windsor can be in any way construed as King
Edwards recognition of American CONNER
cal superiority is all nonsense. The king is
full of tact and of friendship for our country"
The Wichita Eagle, Col. Marsh Murdock's
paper, quotes the first paragraph of the above
prediction, and comments as follows:
"The immediate inspiration of this weighty
utterance was the visit of squad of American
millionaires to the King of England. They
were solemnly dressed in court mourning, ex-
changed fluctuations on the state of the weather
with the king and departed, leaving the United
States and Great Britain tied up tighter than
the Siamese twins. The gadding millionaires
have settled thereafter, this country and
Great Britain are in cahoots. The inspirations
of 1776, the experience of 1872 ard Great Brit
aims noble attitude in the civil war were all
wiped off the slate when Great Britain, in 1897,
refused to join in an European razzle bluff in
behalf of Spain. This. shut off all American
antagonism. Now, to get our active, and, If
necessary, military assistance, all that is neces-
sa1y is for the king, about once year, to per-
nit few OF our very rich and exclusive citi-
zens TO walk through Windsor, and for the
king to remark, sagaciously, once or twice,
that it looks like rain. As perfectly delirious-
ly.exciting surprise, it might be good thing
each time to trot the queen out unexpectedly as
some sort of an exhibit
"Let our millionaires occasionally breathe
the same identical holy air with the king, and
our people will tumble over themselves TO fur
nsh soldiers to aid Britain when continental
Europe has showed her up in corner and is
knocking the daylights out of her. That is
the idea. And Andrew Carnegie thought of it
first Great man!''

GOVERNOR PINGREE DEAD.

Ex-Governor Hazen S. Pingree, of Michigan,
died in London, Tuesday night, of cancerous
affection of the stomach. He had been in fail
ing health for some time, and went abroad hop
ing that the change would benefit his health.
No benefit accrued, however, but he grew worse
until death relieved him of his suffering.
In many respects, Governor Piugree was
great man, and his death is loss to the coun-
try, and especially to his state.
