TELEGRAPHic NEWS.

NEW YORK, Nov l4.-Thomas
Watson, candidate for president on
the Populist tisket, has made public
a statement in which he suggests a
conference with leaders, other than
those now in control of the Democrat
ic party with the idea of forming an
organization with Jeffersonian prin
cipies. He thinks that the landslid,
for Roosevelt was due to the hatre
for Cleveland and all those affiliated
with him. He says chat he got over a
half million votes, that Parker started
with any-Jeffersonian Democrat like
lost two million in the campaign
Watson says now is the time for al
reformers to get together, saying: ''l
should only be too glad to co-operat,
i'll parallel lines and honorable terms
with and -effersonian Democrat ..ne
Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Hearst or George F
Williams to accomplish a purpose
common to us all, but | believe the
best way TO insure a final success OF
a reform movement is Tor us to form

we are not surprised,'' says an ex- change, "that with the outcome of the Slocum so-called investigation staring them in the face others are prepared to make money at the risk of sacrif1c- ing many lives. Who for moment would think that business firm would be So utterly devoid of conscience as to stuff life preservers with bars of iron to bring them up to standard weight? Yet, unthinkable as this seems, it is what the Nonpareil Manufacturing Go has been indicted for in the United States court at Trenton, N. J One of the employees of the company, in de- scribing how these life preservers' were made, said that cord shavings, or chips, were laid in the lower half of an iron mould, andsthe iron bar, weigh ing about six ounces and, ext extending to within one and. one-half inches of the ends of the mould, was laid upon the cork. Then the other half of the mould was filled with the cork chips and the mould was sealed, after which 1t was subjected to heavy pressure, and a steaming and baking process, which solidihed the mass of chips like one block of cork bark fresh from the tree and shaped to the proper size"

Working people who are expected to fall over each other in mad scramble to keep the republican party in power would do well to consider before go- ing to the polls that not only bread stuffs but other things as we'll are be- ing pushed out of their reach. During the past year the price of rubbers has gone up twenty-five per cent and deal- CTS have been given to understand that the end is not yet. Ladies' rub bers that were sold last winter for 40 and .50 cents pair are 50 and 60 cents pair now. Mems rubbers have gone up 15 cents pair and rubber boots that brought $3 last fall cannot be had now for less than $3.50. Chil- dren's shoes have advanced from i've to ten cents. These may appear trifing matters to the office holders and campaign speakers, too insignif- cant to be mentioned, but they mean great deal to the ordinary run of mortals. The beef strike is also being made a pretext for another advance in the price of leather, but this will not be felt in the retail shoe trade un- til next spring. The manufacturers claim that the strike curtailed the out put in hides and of course they want to take advantage of the situation to tack on little to the wholesale fig ures. Everything shows an upward tendency except labor, and with this prospect staring them in the face, citizens whose stock in trade is confined to labor are told that it is for their inter- est not to disturb existing conditions. The more one thinks of this the more he feels that the remarks of the Vol colt farmer that the outlook for the | American workingman is not bright. because he appears to be settling down to his lot instead of making an effort to protect himself from the fath- CT of trusts, was no wild assertion.

HEARD IN PASSING

Russia and Japan continue to stag ger humanity, but the part of humanity that staggers most resides ill Russia and Japan.-Chicago Chronicle.
 We regret to say that the present at titude of Englands brilliant premier does not give an impression of dignity or even of candor.--New York Times.
 A Connecticut man who robbed a bank of $70OO0 has been sent to prison for five years, while his neighbor, who stole horse, drew an eight year pris- on term. They would probably hang a hcicken thief.-Washingt Post.
 If it be true that the attempts upon the Connecticut have been made re. peatedly, through period of months, we are bound to say that the failure to set trap which would catch the crim- ina1 does no credit to the detective sagacity of the officers of the navy yard or of the persons in charge of the construction of the battle ship. It seems incredible that the scoundrels engaged in this nefarious business should not have left abundant clews by which they might have been tracked and caught. Even the evidence left behind him by the man who tried to secure the scuttling of the ship as soon as she should take the water ought to be ample for his detection in the hands of real detective.-New York Times.

All doubt about the crops is now at an end, and this removes very im- portant restraint upon bullish enthusi- asm, says Banker Henry Clews. We are finally assured of an abundance of corn, and this, even if the expected 2,50o, 100000 crop is not quite realized, is one of our most important sources Of national prosperity. We are sure
 also, of big cotton crop, some esti- mates now reaching 12,O00,000, and while early frost might cut off 100000 to 100000 bales, it could not do serious injury. Even the wheat crop is thresh- ing out better than the crop killers were willing oqlet us believe, and in consequence of these developments the prices of corn, cotton and wheat are receding from the excessive high prices which they not long ago com manded. It is now demonstrated be- yond a doubt that American farmers. east, .west and south, are to enjoy am other prosperous year, which is the all 5mnortant fact in the business situa-

The Boston Pilot, in its endeavors to catch votes for Roosevelt, runs a black head on it's front page, Roosevelt and
 the Irish" Under this head in its last issue it gives out this important news: During his term of office as assistant secretary of the navy, Mir Roosevelt is- sued orders that three torpedo boats, then building, should be named the Barry the tO'Brien' and the 'McDon- ough.'" Farther down the column we find the following: "One of the warm est and most disinterested friends l have ever met had or hope to have in New York politics Is by birth an Irish man. and is also as genuine and good an American citizen as Is to be found within the United States" If there is an Irishman, or even descendant of an Irishman, as remote as Roosevelt claims to be, that can be caught by such chaff as the above, this country is no place for him, he should go back.

ton. They and their dependents form so large proportion of our total pop ulation that good times with them mean better times for everybody -bet-. ter times for merchants, better times for manufacturers, better times for transportation interest, and ultimately better times for the investor The un- reasonably high prices for these three staples which lately prevailed were beneficial to no one except spectators. since producers did not secure these prices and consumers will not pay them very long. Their final effect would have been to injuriously check exports and stimulate overproduction in the next crop. Tn fact, the prosper ity of the farmer and the country at large is best promoted when specula- ton acts simply as balance wheel and is not devoted to creating destruc, tive corners. tr ss

The most important news received within the past few days relates to con- ditions in Indiana and West Virginia and comes from the special representa- tives of the New York Herald. 1t is hardly necessary to say that the Her aid, while supporting Parker and Davis, is strictly Independent, and prints the news as 1t finds it. The Her, aids men report that the drift in both these states appears to be democratic. Tn Indiana it is said that the demo- cratic meetings in point of attendance and enthusiasm are far in advance of the republican meetings. The party is united. Very significant is the state- ment of the correspondent that ''the 1 first voters this year all seem to be lining up for the democratic ticket" He also notes republican defection in | the section where many Quakers live, due to Rooseve1t's contemptuous allu- sion to people of their faith in one of his books. Republican speakers have been trying to smooth the trouble over and in some instances have apologized to their hearers for the statements of their chief. In so doing the speakers have made bad matter worse, and I now orders have come to them from headquarters to defend the president l if necessary, but under no considera- tion to apologize. Finally, the HeraId's representative in Indiana says the democratic managers there are appar- ently absolutely confident of winning the state on the electoral as well as the state and legislative ticket.

PROF PECK MET THE POPE

 .sFive Americans were received, four women and myself, in our par ty. There were nineteen others who were admitted to the audience at the time spoke to the Pope in Latin, and he responded in the same tongue. I found the Pope fatherly, kindly gentleman, with nothing Of the aris- tocrat about him. He is eminently man of the people, with deep sym pathies for them. He is great lover of outdoor life, mountain climber, and I was told by close friends whom I met later in Venice that he missed greatly his outdoor life, his plunge in the morning, which he loved, like Judge Parker possibly. He does not relish being cooped up in the Vatican"

 Anarchists, according to him, turn against their fellows ill adyersity, just like the rest of the world.

Siamese food principally consists of dried, frequently rotted fish, and rice, done into curries which comprise lit- s tie of about every kind of of condi- ment and especially u very popular sauce sailed namphrik, chutney like and thoroughly mixed thing made of red pepper, shrimp, garlic, onions, citron, ginger and tamarind seeds, says q writer in Outlook. The only reason for the fish being putrid is be- cause the natives like it so, for fish are plentiful in the rivers and fishermen numerous, though their ways of catch ing are rather amusing and antique. One favorite method, borrowed from the Chinese, is beating the waters with long bamboo sticks to frfghten the fish into an eight or ten foot squarfsh net which is lowered into the river from a framework on the bank by a system of wheels and ropes and pulleys and hoisted up again when the catch Is complete. must confess that when the fish in the curry chanced to be dried instead of decayed. found the concoction decidedly toothsome. Tn fact, really good curry is in a class apart, and one must go to India or the far east to get it at it's best. Some times the natives eat pork and often times chicken, but for the most part, rice and the fish curry constitute their chief diet, supplemented by the fruit of the country, of which there are many kinds-mangosteen, mango, pineapple, banana, orange, bread fruit, and that most healthful and serving of all Siamese fruits, the papaya, which grows back from. the water and is greenish oval melon that suggests cantalope when opened.

NEW YORK FASHIONS
Pattern. For Lady's Shirt Waist Designed by
 Martha Dean

Among the many new styles that will not be left behind is the shirt waist with the pretty yoke designs. These fancy yokes are dcservedly popular. for they are not only becoming, but carry out the long shoulder line as nothing else will do. They may be stitched fiat to the waist or left unattached. The waist is fitted by underarm and shoulder seams, the front blousing in the most approved style, and the back Is drawn down snugly with few gathers at the waist. The bishop sleeve is characterized by deep cuff which carries out the yoke shaping. The pattern also includes the tabs which or nament the front This design is exceed ingly attractive in any of the shirt waist materials. It takes no more time to make up pretty blouse than plain one, the cost of the material is the same, and the fact that one looks and feels better in a stylish, attractive waist would warrant the making up of this design. Oyster white crepe de chine, ilouisine or 'taffeta in silk fabrics or any of the light weight woolens or cottons would be serviceab1e and dainty. Material required for me- dium size yards 36 inches wide. Pat tern No. COTS. Sizes for 32, S4, 36. 8S. 40 and 42 inches bust measure.
