Handiwork of LONG AGO.

TIdUuIWOTh VI 6Ou9 SNSSs
Quilting, the handiwork and the
fancy work of our great-grandmam-
mas and great-grandaunts is once
more being shown on the costumes OF
fashionably attired maids and ma.
irons.
But it is to be doubted If the beau
ties of to-day are following in the
footsteps of their feminine ancestors
and creating the exquisinte needle
work that is appearing on their smart
coats and gowns.
Satin petticoats that peep out from
underneath handsome gowns are pro-
fusely decorated with this work of
long ago, and so are sleeves and many
of the long cloaks have thickly quilted
Innings.
Quilting once having been brought
tn the front as style, means that we
shall soon be having counterpanes
and bedspreads with the bewitching
work upon them of our foremothers.
Quilting does not mean a mere run
ming in and out Of the needle and
thread. No, indeed, 1t is much more
complicated affair, and in the olden
times 1t meant punches and garlands
of flowers and animals and birds be-
ing worked upon bed quilting.

Congress Garland It Can.

Congress strains and pulls and tugs,
then spits on it's hands and strains
and tugs and pulls, then gets breath
and a fresh hold and pulls and tugs
and strains, but oh, dear, and oh, dear,
IL can't do anything
Really, it can't The session is so
short, you see. Money must be voted
to an aggregate of thousand millions
or so, and congress will be so con.
sumed busy doing that until the 4ih
of March that it can't possibly fad
time to do anything else.
That is to say, 1t can't find time to
do anything for the people. 1t is diff.
ferent when it comes to doing some
thing for some interest, especially If
It Is an interest which is likely to take

Congress came to the rescue with a

that would make humming birds

Now, that was all right. 1t was

100000 or more, but the bill was for
the relief of the importers and not of
the people. 1t is when bill appears
for the relief of the people from
wholly unnecessary and very grievous
burdens that it becomes impossible
for congress to move.
There is a fine appearance of des-

Territorial Object Lessons.

AS matters now stand the sparsely
settled states of the far west are like
ly to keep the senate in Republican
control for many years, irrespective
of any political revolution that may
take place in the older and greater
commonwealth.
There is another reason, however,
why we should keep a few American
territories of the first class. So long
as Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari.
IONA remain out of the union they will
furnish the people an impressive OBJ
ject lesson on the subject of demo
cratic territorial government.
The republican idea is exemplifled
Just now in Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines, more particularly the latter
where there is military despotism
modified to some extent by an irres
ponsible commission.

CEMENT USED FOR ORDERS.
Adhesive Power In Contact With Steel
Is Great.

Adhesive Power in Contact With Steel
Is Great.
Cement has long been recognized as
a construction material even where
very heavy strains must be sustained.
At the Paris exposition were shown
concrete spans twenty feet in length,
but Chicago architect has recently
gone a step farther and laid concrete
flooring with twenty-five-foOt spans.
Buffalo has an apartment house six
stories high without single steel CIR
der or beam in the building, which is
constructed entirely of concrete, says
the Springfield Republican. Orders
and concrete construction generally
are reinforced throughout by steel
rods or wires. The rods are not de-
signed to carry, and do not carry, the
weight, but only keep the cement from
disintegrating under the strain. The
adhesive power OF cement in contact
with steel is tremendous, and this fact
makes 1t possible to decrease the thick.
ness of the walls. In France and Ger.
many seemingly impossible things are
being accomplished in concrete con.
struction, which is often used where
the heaviest pressure MUST be with
stood. Concrete has been used some
what for bridge construction in this
country of late years. The bridge
across the Housatonic near Stock
bridge has 100-foot concrete spans.

President Not a rheateraoer.

President Roosevelt is not so much
of a theatergoer as was his distin-
guished predecessor, says the Wash.
irgton correspondent of the Chicago
Journal. On the one or two occasions
when he has appeared at local play
houses, he has been restless and has
left before the production was finish
ed. Mrs. Roosevelt cares more for
the stage and generally sees the play
to the end.
Among the cabinet officers Attor-
rey-General Knox is the most regular
attendant. In fact he and Mrs. Knox
are quite confirmed "firrt.nighters."
Lyman J. Gage and Mr.. Vanderlip
used to go to everything when they
were in Washington. Senator Hanna
contributes regularly to the box office,
as do Senator Beveridge and Senator
Lodge. But the best patrons are the
diplomatic corps and the set which
train with the Countess Cassini.
When in the city the Letters go to
everything that is good, and the De
Kovans have box for the season.

A CONFIDENCE GAME
Y PROTECTION A LOCALIZED FORM
OF ROBBERY.
Statement Prepared by the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics Contains Food
for Thought-But the Tariff Super.
stitlon Still Blinds.

A statement which has been pre-
pared by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics shows that our manufactured
exports during the first ten months
of this calendar year exceeded in value
those for any CO -nspondihg period
except in 1900. There was a de-
crease in total exports as compared
with other recent years, but the de-
crease was in manufactured ar
ticles.
The magnitude of the figures is in
structive. The value of iron and steel
exports for the ten months was nearly
$S2,000,000, or at the rate of more than
$98,c00,000 for the year; leather and
manufactures of leather, $25, AGO. 900;
cotton manufactures, nearly $29,0OO,-
O00; agricultural implements, over
$16,0O0,0O0; chemicals. drugs and med
icines, over $11 100000.
All these things are sent abroad and
sold without protection, and general
ly in the teeth of adverse duties, in
competition against all corners.
Who can be made to believe that
our manufacturers send abroad their
WARES in such quantities and sell them
,Jat loss merely to get rid of sur
plus? They do nothing of the kind.
Rather than sell so much at loss
they would restrict their output. 1t
would be money in their pockets.
They sell these goods and wares at
at profit. They cannot persuade any
sensible man to the contrary.
We must not overlook the fact that
these articles of which Europe takes
more than half of our exports are man
ufactures, not raw or crude products
They are the very things which are
most highly protected by our Dingley
tariff.
We must note particularly also that
this tariff is intended chiefly to protect
our manufacturers of these goods
against European competition in our
home market. Yet our manufacturers
are able to send their goods to Europe
and, handicapped by transportation
and duties, compete against European
manufacturers on their own ground
But they insist that they must be pro-
Ntected in the American market against
these Europeans by duties running all
the way from 25 to 100 per cent
Millions of Americans are so blinded
by the tariff superstition that they
verify believe our prosperity would be
utterly and hopelessly wrecked If con
gress should seriously threaten (not
to speak of performance)," as Mr.
RI welt puts it, to reduce the Ding
leBAriff materially.
Was there ever bigger or more
successful confidence game?

A Refreshing Confession.

President Roosevelt advises in his
message "the preservation of the
principle which underlies our whole
tariff systematic principle of al
ways allowing sufficient ratio oil
duty to more than cover the differ
ence between the labor cost here and
abroad" The word more" has here
tofore been left out of the Republican
statements of this principle. BY in
Guiding it the President has candidly
or unguardedly confessed the real Sc
cret of the protective tariffs hold on
those who fatten on tariff subsidies.

Warming Voice From the West.

Half the protected corporations OF
the country are themselves now and
for months have been carrying on a
vigorous warfare for tariff reduction
through reciprocity treaties for free
hides and free wool. Are they working
for business disturbance" Nay
verify, but for the chance to do more
business. Tariff agitation that pro-
poses to abate one jot or title of the
profits of the protected trusts is per-
nicious. Tariff agitation that prom
ises to give them cheaper raw mate
rails or wider access to foreign mar
kets is blameless. This is not a doc
trine that can prevail.

FIDELITY OF A DOG
PATHETIC STORY OF DUMB
BRUTE's FAITHFULNEss.
Remains with His Master During ILL.,
ness and After Death, and Dies on
the Grave-Tale vouched for by
Treasury Official.

1.-THE speech made by Senator Vest
at the trial of dog case some years
ago, and referred to in the Post one
day recently, brings to mind case In
which the faithfulness, loyalty and
love of dog for his master was as
strongly and pathetically portrayed"
said treasury official at a dinner one
night last week. "A man whom I
had known from childhood and who
occupied first place In my friendship,
was taken i'll and after months Of long
suffering died. His death was blow
from which l shall never entirely re-
cover, and 1t is just this one thing
above all others that poor old Dick.
my friends dog, and l hold in COM
| mon.
During my friends illness I called
at his home on my way to the off1ce,
and as soon as the working hours
were over was at his bedside again.
Always l found Dick there, looking up
in his masters face with his big, sad
| eyes. l patted the faithful fellow and
told him it was all right, that his mas
ter was going to get we'll. He would
wag his head and lick my hand In
reply. There he stayed and nothing
could induce him to remain away very
long. Night and day he lay there at
the foot of the bed, keeping faithful
watch.
Finally the end came I am q
strong man, but l went into pieces.
The sight of that poor dumb brute
would have torn heart of iron, for
no human being could have suffered
more. During the preparations for
putting the body in the coffin they
were forced to carry the dog out of
the house and tie him. But 1t was
not for long. Dick broke his rope,
and quietly sneaked into the house
and again took up his watch, but this
time under the coffin, and there he
stayed, swapping at all who ap-
preached his masters body. When
the pall-bearers were about to remove
the casket it was who saved the un.
dertaker's life. It almost seemed that
at last the strain had broken, and the
POOR dogs growls, which were more
like groans, told his story. His attack
upon the pall-bearers was violent, and
for moment feared the animal had
gone mad, but the poor fellow was
crazed with grief. approached him
and in the same manner as during his
masters illness patted him and said
it would be all right In this way
succeeded in getting him out of the
house, but this scar on my hand
bears evidence of the struggle had
in doing so.
when | reached the street the first
thing my eye rested upon was the dog
Dick under the hearse, and there he
remained in dull, sullen way, walk.
ing along until the grave was
reached.
"At the grave he was in fighting
mood no longer. He seemed to under
stand in his mute way that 1t must
happen. After the burial l coaxed
and begged him to come back with
me, but, to no purpose, so left him
there, where he died few days later.
