DreRS.

Champagne, claret red, and Char
treuse green are three prominent coli
ors among spring dress fabrics, both
for day gowns and for evening toilets.
The neutral champagne, pongee, fawn
and pale tan tints are prominent among
the plain and embroidered etamines,
voiles, crepes de chine, mistral canvas
weaves, twine cloths and sharks skin
wool armures, says the New York
Post. Anew invoice of goods that will
please economical shoppers includes
mere erized, polka-dotted piques near
ly a yard wide and in fast colors
at ten cents yard; American batistes
in either dark or light grounds at 12A
cents; Madras and Lowell ginghams
in solid colors; corded stripes, checks
and plaids, q and 32-inch wide, at ten
cents a yard, and fine Belfast dimitles
at % and 81 cents yard, in the latest
spring patterns.
New styles in covert coats are set
forth for the wear of women, young
girls and children of anyag These are
exhibited in short, three-quarter, and
figure lengths, the front finished with
large smoke-pearl buttons, or else
there is an inyisibl fly-front fastening.
Coats of this kind are unlined, and be-
sides forming very seasonable wraps
for the entire spring season, they will
prove very useful on cold days, during
the summer, over gowns of foulard
silk, pique, voile, etc.
New shirt waist suits appear, this
week, made of stripes and dotted dim
ity, seaside canvas, fancy Madras, cot
ton cheviot, mercerized cable cord,
Kharo cloth, and linens, plain and en-
broidered. Tucks stitched to hounce
depth appear on the five-gored flare
skirt, and the fulness at the back is
taken up in an inverted box plait.
Many of the new silk or satin sash
ribbons are striped or barred with a
line of black velvet, that makes them
very becoming when used for blouse
vest fronts, stocks, ribbon roses, etc.
Entire waists are made of the wider
ribbons, and a pretty result is OBJ
tanned by tucking the silk or satin por-
tions of the striped designs, leaving
the black, line untouched. This rem
ders the velvet stripe quite prominent,
producing stylish effect.
Novel French evening dresses of crepe
de chine and chiffon, and tea gowns
of tucked and shirred India silk,
creped wool and taffeta are displayed
at the importing houses this week.
The shirt waist suits of plain and en-
broidered linen and those of mercer
ized cotton cheviot are trimmed with
the new Teneriffe embroideries, and
tailor-made silk and satin foulards are
decorated with strappings, tucks and
! tiny white buttons.

WOULD BE A GREATER LOSS
Wages Just to Have 1t
EtE& Taken Out.

A rich man, extraordinarily strict in
all business matters, but kind-hearted,
withal, had gardener who, in long
/ and faithful service, contracted rhcu.
matism. Almost regularly every
month the gardener was incapacitated
for work for and five days at time,
relates the New York Times. When he
did not work his wages were docked,
and his loss amounted to about ten dol
lars month.
The employer did not like this, as the
manwas valued servant, and it seemed
unfair to make him bear the financial
burde of an illness that was the out
growth of his calling. But the masters
business instincts would not allow him
| to pay for unrendered services. Final
ly, the employer evolved a scheme
whereby the gardener would not lose
anything through future attacks, while
the proprieties of business would not
be violated.
Summoning the man before him, the
master said: "Patrick, am sorry you
are ill so frequently, and I dislike to
dock you, but must do so, as cannot
pay for anything do not get. Now,
tell you what will do. Your wages are
$40 month at presnt. Hereafter,
will pay you at the rate of $50, and with
the average dockage your income will
be about what you would receive at
the old rate if you were not sick"
Patrick cogitated a moment before
replying. "Thank ye, kindly, sir" he
said. "But if it's all the same, I'd rath-
er not have the raise. Ye see, when I'm
sick now, T lose so much money every
idle day, and if ye raise me wages I'll
lose more, and I can't afford that"

Endorses the Catarrhal Tonic Peru na-
A Congressman's Letter.

DR.. j. F. Ensor, Postmaster of Colum-
bia, S. c., late Superintendent and Ply
sician in charge of State Insane Asylum
at Columbia, S. c., writes:
"After using your Peruna myself

Only the weak need tonic. People
are never weak except from some good
cause. One of the obscure causes OF
weakness and the one oftenest over
looked is catarrh.
Catarrh inflames the mucous mem

escape through the mucous memb brane

Wood scents to all the winds that pioWs

The Wheat Figures,

To the business interests Of the
northwest, about the most interesting
bit Of news in the papers to-day will
be the governments estimate Of the
wheat yield Of 1903.
The total wheat crop is put at 637,-
100000 bushels, which is 88,OO0,0O0
bushels less than the previous esti-
mate, and s3,O0O,ooO bushels less than
the 1902 crop as compiled by the gov
ernment. Altho this years crop Is
the fourth largest in the country's his
tory, it Is more than 100000 bush
els less than the great crop of 1901
Last years crop practically ranked
with that of 1898 as the second largest
the country has ever produced.
The significance of the difference
between this years crop and last Is
brought out by the statement that
taken with the falling off in the Cana.
dian crop, the decrease is equal to the
entire wheat crop Of Argentina las
year.
According to the governments fna
figures, the three great spring Whea
states, Minnesota and the Dakotas
have produced this year 173.000,00(
bushels of wheat as compared will
1877, 100000 last year-and there wa:
scarcely enough to go around then
and fancy prices were paid for casl
| wheat toward the end of the year.
According to the government fig
ures, Minnesota has raised 10,000,O0'
| bushels less wheat this year than last
South Dakota 100000 more, an,
North Dakota 100000 less.
| With the visible supply of wheat il
the United States 100000 bushel
less than a year ago, the outlook seem
good for high prices in wheat.

A Democratic Symposium.

OF course the appearance of ex-
President Cleveland, booked for g
speech, at the big democratic dinner
to be given in New York next Monday
evening, has no further political signl-
ficance than that, as the ,Nestor Of his
party, he is expected to give it his
M q. turest views the questions now
agitating the democracy. Indeed, the
venerable ex-president is announced to
speak 6on the Panama treaty and the
tariff. He will appear in a strictly adj
viSOry capacity. Colonel Bryan will
not be there as he will leave England
after his rapid swing round the Euro
pean circle on Wednesday, and will
not be able to reach New York
Monday.
Bryan is said to have moderated his
antagonism toward reorganization of
the discordant democracy. He has
done his best to keep the party in dis
cord. Some people call him a mar
plot. There is no doubt, however, that
the colonel has acted on his convic-
tons and has been conscientious. The
! trend of events and the failure of his
! former predictions, embody logic
enough to make any fair-minded
statesman revise his former policies.
It may be expected that the post
prandial eloquence at the coming dem
ocratic dinner, will be somewhat free
| from the artificial rhetoric common on
such occasions. The orators ought to
be careful, if they have real respect for
their party, to avoid indorsing Cor
mans and Williams denunciations of
the Panama treaty, and antagonizing
| the Panama canal, an enterprise which
the southern democracy, by a large
majority, are anxious to have actual
lied. German has already burned his
fingers fooling with the subject. The
| symposium of next Monday may be ex-
pected to convey intimations, at least
| Of the contents of the next national
democratic platform. Mr.. Cleveland
has of late been unfortunate in dealing
out advice to his party. The position
of a rejected mentor is far: from being
a fascinating one. .:s2

For the Secular School.

We referred disapprovingly a few
days ago to the demand made by
Archbishop Quigley of Chicago, for
called Catholic public schools at the
expense of the governl--ent. It is our
opinion that a large portion of the
Catholic population Of the United
States is opposed to the establishment
of sectarian schools at public expense.
We are, therefore, glad to. find out
spoken opposition to Bishop Qu1g1ey
recent revival Of an old idea. in the
Chicago Citizen, which is edited by
John F.. Finerty., The Citizen thus
puts the argument for purely secular
schools
We believe in the American nonsec.
tartan public school, and we believe il
educating the youth Of all races sidesb9
side. SO that they may grow up as friends
trus ting each other; not as enemies sus
picious of one another. We believe i
would be a fatal mistake to have the
American public schools rum or controlled
by ecclesiastics of any creed. AS i

The public school, free from sec

It is the most powerful element i
