Not only do we turn our toques into bonnets by adding strings, but we are now adding strings to our hats, not the narrow velvet ribbon that was tied un- der one ear pendant from the Romney and Dolly Warden hats, but the big, broad bow and ends. almost sash width, that seme irresisttbly linked to the charming heart-shaped hat, of the vsss- cut ."-Boskon Rudget-

skusoraper Apartments.

From the New York World.
 Mir R. T. Bottoms defense of the sky scraper at the Aldine club disclosed the fact that there are 1,175000 New Workers living in flats or apartments. 1t was fur ther shown that ninety tall office build ings in lower New York have added 1S0 acres to the actual business area of that section.
 One of the speakers taking part in the discussion regretted the passing of the private house, with it's comparatively low elevation. But has the resulting change of tendency been disadvantageous to the tenant?
 Apart from considerations of land value which make 8 private dwelling an ex- pensive luxury the skyscraper apart ment gives it's occupants purer air, sanl- tary plumbing, from which there is no danger of enteric or similar disease housekeeping facilities not obtainable in private homes without great additional expense. and not least it replaces the isolation of the single dwelling with a

Mary YeIlin' Won Out.

"I attended two conventions where the name of Walter o. Gresham cut quite figure" said Judge Charles E. Magoon. the law officer of the Bureau of Insular Affairs Tt is, of course, a matter of history that Bob Ingersoll was driven from the platform when talking to a crowd in the convention hall at Chicago in 1888, when he declared for Gresham. Four years later I was at Omaha when the populist convention was held. Igna- tius Donnelly of Minnesota stood upon the platform and read a telegram which said
 If unanimously nominated by the peoples party for president l will accept.
 Walter e. Gresham"
 'The convention went wild The ban ners of the states were gathered and paraded up and down the aisles and then clustered about the Illinois standard. where that delegation was seated. IL looked as If the work of the convention was over.
 Then was seen the figure of woman making her way toward he platfn; m waving a yellow telegraph blanx sIon she faced the convention and continued to wave the piece of paper. It was Mary Elizabeth Lease. As soon as quiet had been restored she read In that clear. force full voice so we'll known throughout the west:
 "If unanimously nominated by the Peo- ple's party for President will accept
 "BENJAMIN HARRISON"
 ''Then she cut loose. Such a telegram might be sent by Grover Cleveland. Jemes c. Blaine, or any other man. Of course, any man receiving the unanimous nomina- ton of this convention would accept. l uba A1oa the bribe of unanimous nomination. In one of her characteristic speeches she pre- sented the name of James E. Weaver. and he was nominated. Ten minutes before Greshams nomination was inevitable, but this woman clearly turned the tide"

RrIo.a.nrac out of EashIon.

From the Baltimore (Md.) American.
 The man and the woman of average in- telligenoe average good sense and aver age amount of cash have reached the con- clusion that 1t Is. as rule far better to obey the decrees of fashion than to defy them and seek to be beyond their infu- ence The man who wears a last years straw hat when he can afford a new one simply invites unfavorable criticism, and the woman who does the same thing has never yet been discovered. This does not mean that all sensible people are fash ions slaves, but 1t does mean that they generally treat her varying decrees with more consideration than they give to many rules which are laid down for their conduct.
 One of the latest decrees issued from this temple where so many worship Is to the effect that bric-a-brac has outlived its usefulness and must depart. Just where 1t is to go Is not specified, but it can with safety be placed in the garret or thrown at the members of the feline opera com pany which insist on giving midnight con- certs, with the back fence as a stage Bric-a-brac has long been word of all kinds of meaning, including ornaments from a little china dog to a valuable mo- saic. Of course, all cannot be treated alike, and good judgment must be used in bringing about their final departure.
 Good reasons are given for this decree. Bric-a-brac has so multiplied in many parlors that the visitor has to be very careful lest he sit down on some frail ornament or knock half dozen incon- gruous and wholly uninteresting pieces of glass or china off the center table or the mantle Reducing the number of these things may, therefore, prove dis tinct blessing to men, the majority of whom are more or less awkward. and cannot fail to lesson the burdens of the housekeeper and of the maid who is ex pected to dust all this collection of ani- mai and mineral freaks at least once

 Great interest was taken in the elcc- ton, and the partisans of the diff 'r' mt candidates brought into play all thcir vote-gdtting abilities.
 At one time in the morning excitement reached the point of extreme tension, when W. II. Burbon. a disciple Of the Dennis faction, thought that he had de- tected J. $. Kennedy, Burris man and one of the election managers, in some un- fair practices.
 MT. Burbon's vote was refused because he failed to produce his registration cer- tficate, and he became greatly excited at seeing Mir Kennedy tear up certain bal- lots, or more properly speaking a cer- tain ballot He endeavored to have NJ. Kennedy arrested, but upon getting legal advice he did not push matters, as MT Kennedys explanation of his action was deemed to be an ample justification ct what he did. He had only destroyed the ballot of another would be voter who Vas not anffflod fp fhn francblsp
