Gold Braid and Brass Buttons.

At a recent dinner in honor of the Gov ernor of Illinois the colonels on his staf were attired in their uniforms brilliant with gold lace and brass buttons. But whether they will wear this martial at tire at the next dinner or go in civilian dress is a question that has not been de- cided. The propriety of the colonels or the staff in contributing to the pictur- sequences of the occasion by being re- splendent in gold lace is being discussed very gravely in the western papers. and one would judge that the proprieties had been seriously violated. That any ques- tion should have been raised at all must have been at the instigation of some hor- rid man who knew the power of brass buttons and gold lace, to say nothing of shining swords and other brilliant para phernala. Every man If he Is honest enough (and a close observer) will admit that army regalia has more fascination for women than roomful of people in civilian dress, and few women will not admit of their preference in this matter.
 If the question of the correctness of regimental dress was left to the decision of a woman, the officers on the Cover nor's staff would be permitted to wear gold lace and saunter into breakfast brandishing their swords if they de- sired. But the question has a national in terest and might affect events of more importance than gay little dinner party arranged for Illinois Governor.
 Imagine the national pageant of Mon day shorn of its glitter of lace and gold braid. Picture the avenue without it's lengthenng line in brilliantly picturesque attire. Take away the background of plumes, the martial array of the cavalry, the uniforms of the army, the navy. Shorn of color the spectacle would lose much of the beauty that gave it distinc tion. Brilliant as it is made with all the glitter than can adorn a military pageant, it emphasizes the opinion editorially ex- pressed in Chicago paper in comment ing upon the proper attire of the staff colonels, and which decides the question as follows:
 .Why should not they wear their gold lace and brass buttons, thus lending color and sparkle to what would other wise be a dull and somber gathering The only fault which the public finds with the coneneis is that they dc not wear their uniforms often enough in public In a great city the streets are so coler- less. The country dwelier is greeted, when he. walks abroad in the springtime by the tender green of bursting buds and

Steamer Narrowly Escapes.

Cincinnati, March 6.-The steamer City of Pittsburg, which arrived from Mem phis this morning, and was advertised to start on the return trip this evening, narrowly escaped destruction by fire in the afternoon.

In the city, on the ether hand. the streets are filled with men and women clad, as a rule, in sad and gloomy hues. Lacking ehe sunfiowers and p0ppaes of the field, and the gay autumn leaves. city people look to the oelonels in full uniform to supply the want. Their scarlets and blues would give the dashos of color needed to refresh eyes wearisd of blacks, and browns, and Ereys The colonels should defy all attempts to prevent them from wearing on all occasions their most gorgeous uniforms, with or without side arms.''

NEARLY AsPHYxIATED.
Nora Cosgrove, Servant, Has Mar
 row Escape from Death.

TOW EScdpG 1IOL DSdtA.
 Hartford, Sept 27.-Nora Cosgrove, servant employed at the house of Peter Lux, No 15 Annawan street, had mar row escape from death by asphyxiation early yesterday morning. Members of MT Lux's family heard the young wo- man grooming about o'clock and has tening to her room found that it was filled with gas. She was practically unconscious by the time the windows were opened and light was made. Officer Matthew Pagan and one of MT Lux's sons notified Dr Laden and the physician worked over the young wo- man until she was out of danger.
 The case was a very peculiar one, although there was no suspicion of any attempt to commit suicide. The young woman was partly undressed when found and was on the bed. It was supposed that she was overcome before she had time to get fully undressed. The door was open and the window was partly open. The gas cock was turned half way on. She said she sup posed that she turned the gas off. The young woman was able to go to her relatives on Putnam street yesterday. She will remain there until she recov CTS her strength.

THR WIND

Is beginning to blow. Did you ever take notice how cold the winds are in the fall. particularly around election time2 Say, it's cOmical to stop and listen to some of the windy ward poll ticians. Of course we cant blame the ward heelers'' to be rather windy 1n their denunciations of the fellow on the other side because occasionally we find even office seekers to be pretty windy; some of them can say more in five minutes about themselves than could be dispensed from grapha- phone in forty-seven hours. fifty-nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds. Of course it's all wind; yes. and that same class of orators can promise seventeen political positions for every office to be filed. and when the time arrives to make good these promises. this type of windy politician can crawl out of his predicament in so slick and smooth style that it takes the disappointed fellow over two years to see how he did it. Well. politics is a pretty uncer- tain game; you'll hear a ''heeler' say so and so is willing to spend lots of money to get there. Well, if he is willing to spend lots of money he must see where he's going to get it back and We cannot see only one source, and that's the taxpayers pocket; that's the fellow who must pay all the salaries. Again. you'll see the opposing factions meet after election and make up friends they'll go and have drink, but we'll guarantee it won't be fresh roast ed coffee or pure nice tasting tea they will have When we say fresh, pure goods. we mean the kind we sell.
