For the BOYS, Room.

Blue and white barred gingham is
a finishing which gives a delightful
air of freshness to a boys bedroom,
without seeming effeminately dainty.
1t launders finely, and it's clean blue
and white gives a pleasing sense of
lmmaculateness. Make spread for
the bed with wide rufies around the
sides and ends. The window seat
can be made with a covering of the
same, easily removable, and If the
seat be made with a lid so that the
interior can be used as a catch-all it
will commend itself to the boy. Chair
and couch cushions should be cover
ed with ruffled slips of the same.

Yerkss, Business Motto.

London papers have reached the
stage of printing anecdotes about
Charles T. Yerkes. Here is one re-
lated by the Express: &C. T. Yerles,
the triumphant electric tube king, has
a reputation for doing things well.
Perhaps the explanation lies in a rule
which he always observes. This is
never to take up more than one
thing at time. He was asked the
other day whether he was going to
engage in any new schemes. III
a man came to me with a guarantee
that he could make golden sovereigns
out of scrap iron,'' he said, Il would
not join him or back him. One thing

Uncle Sans Waste Basket.

A little more than 100000 pieces of
mail turned up at Uncle Sans dead
letter Office last year. Letters and par
cells to the number of $4,000 were
opened, yielding $4S.000 in cash and
commercial paper Of an aggregate face
value of $1,399,926. Yet there are
some people cruel enough to say that
husbands who neglect to mail their

consoling to the maligned to know
there are others-Omaha Bee.

When a Man is Drunk.

An English magistrate has added
another to the many judicial dicta on
the subject of how to test whether a
man is drunk or not. Were you
drunk?" asked counsel of a witness in
a case at Norwich. We'll, I knew
what was doing" replied the witness.
"Ah," interrupted the recorder, when
a man is drunk and knows that he is

Popular Fancies in Skirts.

One of the popular fancies In the
many gored skirts is the use of two
contrasting materials. The cores
Hare very little and each is bordered
at sides and bottom with stitching.
Between each two cores is an inlay
of yiolet-or of plain cloth mixed
With cloth-which is narrow at the
top and widens into v at the bot
tom, thus giving the necessary rip
pie.
The choice of novel weaves and
striking effects in materials is prac-
tically -limitless, but many of them
are available only for the Juno-like
figure. Take the bold dashes and
splashes and open plaids, for exam
pie, and imagine any but the woman

severer styles are Coming.

Strong contrasts in fabric and color
are characteristic of the seasons
fashions. Black tones up white and
light tints, white Iightens black and
dark shades, while fur and lace, vel
vet and chiffon, heavy cloths and airy
tissues afford countless effective COM
5inations. Just now, the woman who
looks well in brown is having CO.'S
tune of that color made.
In spite of elaborate designs and
trimmings there is hint in the air
Of severer style to come. With the
cecadence of the craze for fiappy col
ars there is a tendency to return to
the tailor-mades of eight or nine
years ago. Seasons of softer and
more distinctly feminine fashions
have taught the tailor many lessons.
and with the return of the tight-1tting
bodice and position back decided
improvement is manifest. The man
modiste has learned that justice can
be done to his beautifully cut gar
ments even though arms and chest
are free enough to be comfortable.
The most popular skirt is box
plated and just touches the ground
all around. Basques are a pronounced
element at the openings, and al
though many of them are yet absurd
ly short, it is probable that they will
get longer as the mode advances.

graduated, being long in front and very
short in the back. Before putting on
the shirt waist of white vesting the
lady in qeustion will adjust her hat,
thus avoiding unnecessary wrinkles of
the sleeves or pulling of the shirt
waist out of the belt, where it has
been carefully arranged. The hat will
be a beaver felt, with plateau crown, a
fitting slightly to the left, with a sash
in contrasting color thrown carelessly
across the top.
The shirt waist is of vesting, as has
been mentioned, and is made with
wide panel of the same, finished on
either edge with a tuck an inch deep
extending from collar to belt in the
front. On either side is row of
large fat pearl buttons. The sleeves
are cut bishop style, with loose re-
verse cuffs, which are caught together
with invisible hook and eye. The col
lar worn with this waist is a plain
stock, with band of white stitched
about the top and a small tie of black
silk is knotted in front.

A short time prior to the outbreak
of the civil war, Wendell Phillips was
travelling through the West, making
abolition speeches. On the same train
one day was a pro-slavery Baptist
minister from the South. who, on
learning that Phillips was on the train
entered his car and introduced him
self. He then said, And you are Wen

said Mr.. Phillips. Engaged in saving
negroes from slavery, eh?" Yes, sir"

to save them?" Mr.. Phillips replied:

Gospel?" 'Yes, sir" Engaged in
saving souls from hell?' Yes"

In the election campaign in Califor-
MIA the native son" issue played some
part. DR.. George G. Pardee, the Re-
publican candidate, is the first man
born in the state who has been nomi-
mated for governor.
An incident occurred at one of DR..
Pardee's campaign meetings which
caused some amusement An old
timer came up to shake hands with
the candidate. He was introduced to
the doctor as "one who came to the
state earlier than you did"
Glad to meet you, sir" responded
DR.. Pardee briskly. 81 came to Cali
fornia in 1857; when did you arrive?"
Il came in '53," said the voter. But

A few of the accessories of this toll
ct are plain silver hatpin and chat

for the above described costume. The
young lady will wear dark kid gloves
and will carry neatly folded umbrel-

And this is one way that she will

at the same time she made the re-
mark you saw her arrayed in delicate
and flimsy lingerie, thin and brilliantly
colored hose and the like, with a dain-
ty dressing sack thrown over all, what
would you expect her to do-go out
and put on tailor-made walking suit
and walking shoes over all this fiimsy
underwear? OF course you would not
expect her to do this, and of course
she would not do it. On the face of it,
it seems hardy worth bringing up as
a point, and yet there is often as great
incongruity in less conspicuous direc-
tions in what is considered toilet.
To be dressed for an occasion is to be
dressed therefor from tip to toe, and
some time has been spent during the
past few days in finding out suitable
ways in which one may dress for the
street.
The young lady in question is in
medium circumstances and the gar
ments described neither extremely
rich nor very plain. The first is
knit merino combination suit and
black cashmere hose with panels of
dark blue in diamond shapes across
the instep. According to the most
approved authority on hygienic as well
as artistic dressing she will be very
careful not to draw the garters, which
are attached to the front of the corset,
too tightly. The side supporters she
will wear, as is customary, and the
hygienic enthusiast will probably have
nothing to say.
Next in order will be either knit
ted corset cover and knitted short
skirt or a muslin corset cover, prefer
ably cut off at the waist, and short
skirt or muslin or light flannel, as
taste or weather dictate.
Next she will put on the long petit
coat, which, if it is silk will require
frequent cleaning, or if it is desired
that it should be washable it may be
of pongee. The shoes will be medium
weight walking shoes.
Next in order is the walking skirt,
made of Scotch tweed, with seams
strapped with black braid and mar
row circular founce around the bot
tom, having three fiat tucks at the bot
tom and three of the same heading the

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady in tone, with prices
2@5 points higher and without being
active, ruled generally firm during the
rest of the day. Prices failed to depart
more than a point or two from the
opening basis, May holding close to
S.16c and July to S.19c. The cables from
Liverpool, public and private, were
bullish in a conservative way, noting
fairly active demand for spot cotton,
at 1-32d advance, a desire of shorts to
cover futures at 2@3 points advance
and splendid trade conditions in Man
chester Advices from Southern spot
markets bespoke a firm undertone, with
good demand from spinners and from
exporters at full former prices, weather
conditions were described by the gov
eminent chart as once more favorable
for an unrestricted movement of the re-
mainder of the crop, while dispa tches
from New England said that business
was all that could be desired for the
present, More or less trouble was ex-
perienced in securing wire communica-
ton with the South, owing to the havoc
created on the lines by the windstorm
of yesterday and last night Whereas
to-day's clearances for export were
comparatively small, the total for the
season thus far was seen to have ex-
ceeded that for the same time last year
by some $4,000 bales, taken to indicate
an unusually fine trade outlook in Eng
land and on the continent for the next
six months at least. The market was
finally quiet and steady. with prices
net 3@4 points higher on present crop
months and 1Q2 points lower on next
crop options.

New York, Feb. 3.-The situation in
the cotton market was a perpleXing
one, while there was an advance of A
points, there was so little in the way

what has been coming to hand week
after week. AS to an early collapse I'm
the movement, bulls place confidence in
them, and bears deride them. Never
theless. the stagnation which disgusts
the trade has been accompanied by a
remarkable show of strength. Bulls
are determined and bears are reluctant
to sell short and there is general an
xiety about the receipts Everything
apparently hinges on them. The first
good evidence of a small crop will be
followed by broadening speculation, in
asmuch as prices are relatively low and
trade conditions good. The cool
weather interfering with receipts just
how much ii is hard to say. The Liv-
erpool market was higher and the port
receipts fell to $4,000 bales. against 49,

morrow 5000 to 5000 bales, against SOIL
last year Houston, AZ, 900 to 81, 900 bales
against 1l,o51 last year.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. S.-The professional
element among the stock operators
showed a rather hopeful spirit this
morning and started with some conf
dence to buy the trans-contlnental
railroad stocks. The movement seemed
to be based upon an assumption that
the Supreme Court would hand down
its decision to-day in the Northern Sc
curities case. for within half hour
after the time for the sitting of the
court the mornings gains in these
stocks had been wiped out.
The dealings I'm Southern Pacific were
especially large and gave evidence OF
operations by a speculative pool. The
buying of the stock is oStensibly based
upon the expectation of an early re-
funding of large issues OF bonds bear
