VIEWS OF DUBOIS.
He Delivers a Democratic Speech in
in Boomers Ferry.

The Democrats opened up their
campaign last Monday night and
fired their heaviest gun-and it did
not do any visable harm either.
Senator Dubois was the attrac-
ton of the evening, but he was ac-
companied by J. G. White, candi-
date for state senator, and a young
Mr.. Pence of Boise
Chas. O'Callaghan presided over
the meeting in his usual urbane
manner, and introduced Mr.. White
as the first speaker. Clarence is
not an orator, but he started off
well and told of the wonderful
prosperity in Kootenai and adjoin.

time he was going to makea Repub.

himself together and got down to

claiming that the Fusionists had
reduced taxation. This bogus
claim is shown in its true light on

Then young Mr.. Pence was intro

away back, His speech was what
the late Senator Ingalls, would
describe as "a diarrhea of words
and constipation of ideas" He
told a very edifying story
Senator Dubois was introduced
in a very complimentary way, and
was received with applause. The

with the International Brotherhood of
Bookbinders and it is said that one of the
chief differences IN the two organizations
is that the women employees pay less per
capita tax and receive less wages. The
men, however, have a regularly established
rule of apprenticeship of four years, and
the women have no uniform system of ap-
premiership calculated to fit the worker
as an expert craftsman. One of the mat
ters that is now before the women is the
adoption of system of apprenticeship of
four years similar to that of their brother
workers, and it is thought this system will
operate In such manner as to permit the
women employees to receive high wages
as the men This, it is stated, will proba-
bly, be realized within a few years at
most.
The woman's union has also been active
in trying to unioniZe all the binderies con-
nected with printing establishments in the
city, and 1t is thought that success will I'LL
tlmately crown their efforts in this line.
This work comes within the objects of the
organization as stated In the constitution
which says, The object of this union shall
be to maintain uniform rate Of wages
and take cognizance of such matters as
may AFFECT the interests of its membership
IN the trade within the District of Coum-
bia. The motto of the organization is

A project that is very much in the minds

hoped that the necessary funds for the

There is also beneficiary feature con-
nected with the union. Upon the death Of

made on the part of the international

The population of Seattle, like all west

The organization of women trade work
ers into labor unions is an achievement of
recent years, and one of the most notable
of the organizations composed entirely of
craftswomen is the Womans Bndery
Union, which has a total Of twenty-one
local unions in as many cities of the United
States and Canada, with an aggregate
membership of over 2,7O0. The strongest
of all these locals, however, numerically
and financially, is Local No. AZ. In the
bindery of the government printing Office
in Washington. This local has 1,050 mem
bers on it's rolls, or nearly two-fifths of the
membership of the national organization,
and it represents one of the largest organi-
cations of the bookbinding industries in the
world.
This organization is the result of a plan
to unite the women workers in the govern
ment bindery and to secure to them the
advantages of unionism. In December,
1894 William B. Hyde, the first president.
Of the International brotherhood of Book
binders, assisted by James L. Feeney and
R. P Riddick of Local No. 4, organized
the Woman's Bindery Union with $50 mem
bers. The first six years of it's existence
was a struggle because of the difficulty eX-
perienced in convincing the women of the
great advantages incident to belonging to
trades unions. But by steady and careful
agitation and the gaining of points for the
betterment of the workers condition the
objection to unionism gradually diminished
and the organization increased materially
in strength.
The establishment of the union beyond
all doubts of failure occurred about two
years ago, when those in authority decided
as a uniform rule that all the women en-
ployed in the government bindery should
belong to the union, and since that time
the work of the organization has received
great impetus.

Food for Wild Beasts,
From the Savannah News.


On a large farm near Greensboro, N. c.,
John s. Sparks, the owner, conducts a
queer industry-that Of raising Angora
goats as food for lions and tigers The
farm IS mostly mountain land, and the 200
goats imported by Sparks have been turned
loose to clear the mountain sides of shrub
berry and noxious growth so that 1t can be
turned into pasture land for herbivorous
animals. Lions, tigers, cames, elephants
and other animals will Craze on this land
After the goats have properly fitted the
farm for this purpose they will be turned
into food for the beasts. Since the goats
have been placed on the farm they have
increased very fast, and shown such Won
derful industry in clearing land that the
owner expects excellent results in his
breeding of wild animals. The young kids
are sold in large quantities for food to the
inhabitants of the neighborhood, and quite
a revenue is also derived from the fleece
Of the goats, which, is long and as fine as
silk.

there is also system of steam heating in

An unusual circumstance in connection
with this place is that IL is now occupied
by the fifth generation of the same family
that has lived on or near this spot. The
children of Mr.. Norment are the represen-
tatiHes, five times removed of the first
member of the family who settled there.
In the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
tury John Ward of England left his native

to this country the young couple found

figures in the material development of this

and also the Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany. Mary Ellen Ward, daughter OF
ULYSSES Ward married Samuel Norment,
the father of Clarence F. Norment.
1t Is also an interesting feature In the
history of the city that Ulysses Ward had
his place of business on the site OF what is

PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CITIES.
Attractive Residences Occupied in the
Summer Season-Sample of
Those in District.

There has perhaps been no phase of the
modern development of cities in this coun-
try that has attracted more attention than
the tendency on the part of urban resi-
dents to establish homes for a part of the
year at least in some nearby place in the
suburb. Washington has been no excep-
ton to this rule.
AS the business interests of the city have
grown those responsible for their proper
conduct find it difficult to be away from
the city for any length of time, even during
the holiday season, as the summer time
has come to be known. In many Instances
the problem OF the interests of the business
and of the family have been solved by
erecting in the beautiful suburbs home,
where the months of spring and summer,
as well early fall, can be passed in COM
fort. The change has been found to be so
delightful that no other is needed, and in
many cases the suburban home has done
away with the annual domestic bugaboo
of selecting summer resort.

STYLES IN MEMS WEAR
THINGS DESIRABLE AND UNDE-
SIRABLE IN SUMMER DRESS.
Old-Time Favorites Disappearing and
New Forms Coming in-Some
New Bathing Suits.
From the Haberdasher.

From the Haberdasher.
Summer has as usual brought with it a
great many things in mems dress which
were neither expected nor desired. Fash
ion of course, does not countenance all
that is introduced, or all that receives the
seal of popular approval The dominant
note of good dress today is and has been
for many years strictly conservative. Fash
ion does not sanction the sudden introduc-
ton of peculiar forms or odd colors. What
ever changes are made, if they are accept
ed by the best dressed men, must come
through a course of easy evolution, or be-
cause popularity has killed type and a
new one must be substituted for it. The
wing collar came in because gentlemen tired
of wearing the same style of collar that
their servants and the tradesmen wore.
They sought something out of the common
run and took up an old favorite rather
than offend the conservative tendencies of
the mode by attempting the Introduction Of
a new style of collar. But the wing collar
was not introduced for summer wear, nor
did Il hold its place once the warm weather
set in. Then the moderate height round
cornered collars were taken up and they
will no doubt be Worn throughout the SUM
mer. The wing collar, however, is strongly
in evidence and is worn by many with the
neglige shirt. l think that we must ac-
mirers and both are in perfect good form.
The extremes in either form are bad, as eX
tremes are bound to be in any article de-
signed for wear by men.
Cravats.
A noticeable change has been made in
cravats The plain black four-in- hand has
suddenly jumped into favor. Silk cravats
are now worn throughout the year. The
twills, grenadines and the new silk and cot
ton stuffs are also good, but the woven
shirtings are not worn in any of the cravat
forms. The stocks which many prophesied
would be so popular this season have only
been sold to the very cheapest trade. The
gentleman uses them as he has always
used them, for riding, driving, wheeling
golf and when lounging about the country,
town or about the country upon any occa-
sion calling for the slightest formality
The fashions for autumn will undoubtedly
be influenced by those of the summer. We
will see the return of the wing collars, of
large crayatS, of washable waiStcOatS, and
of darker suitings. Simplicity and gentiity
are sure to prevail, and all that has the
Objectionable features of an omnipresent
nature sure to be badly received by the
better classes. Where education, refine
ment and a familiarity with the best So
cial usages dominate, the decision is sure to
favor that which appeals to the senses best
developed, and not to those which seek that
which only gives pleasure to the vulgar
Dress is not medium through which one
should attempt to attract attention by odd
ity, but rather by that respect which al
ways is given to anything which smacks
