The Make-Over Lady.

Every day life is so full of mysterious
matters that the average feminine mind
seldom finds leisure for the contemplation
of remote mysteries.
Somewhere along my ancestral line 1
must have had a very frugal feminine
relative" remarked an Indianapolis woman
at lenten thimble-party. THE reason 1
think so is that L really can't enjoy my
pretty clothes because this economical old
great-aunt or grandmother is always look
ing over my shoulder. She is a perfect nui-
sance. l never can buy anything for one
purpose without having in mind some fu-
ture purpose which often seems to be more
imperative than my original idea. That is.
when 1 buy material for a new frock, 1
am always thinking these goods will make
me a lovely dressing sacque some day;
or 1 must get something which will make
over prettily for Isabel. If L get a new
teagown, l decide: The skirt of this will
make me a nice shirtwaist-when L get
tired of Ii. Cousin Julia sent me beautiful
coat, trimmed with Persian lamb and be-
fore 1 had even tried it on, my hideous,
thrifty old ancestor prompted me to think:
What a pretty hat l can have made of
that Persian lamb when the coat gets out
This make-over tendency of mine is a
perfect pest, for Ii takes effect concerning
my friends clothes, also Whenever Mar
garet or Anna Bertha come out in new
frccks Immediately go through the mental
process of making them over into shirt
waists, kimonaS or frocks for the children.
Sister Alice has inherited this economl-
cal ancestral trait too; only her mind runs
on dyeing. She never buys any dress-good
without considering whether il would dye
we'll, either winecolor or dark brown. And
she is always telling us, while her clothes
are almost brand-new, just what color she
thinks they would dye
Yes, that is lovely gray Alice will
say, but ii would dye exquisite wine
color. Oh, what pretty tan your coat is;
ii will dye fine seal-brown.' Alice is great
on winecolor and seal-brown. Isn't it
ridiculous? Our husbands get awfully vexed
with us, for don't need to be so econ
omical. Harry and Jack both hate made
over things, but Alice and l can't help it.
1t is that frugal-minded, old way-back
grandmother of ours"

RUSSIA ADMITS DEFEAT.
VIII Retire, Await Reinforcements
and Try 1t Over Next Year, Says
St. Petersburg Dispatch.

The Associated Press correspondent
at Mukden in dispatch filed at 1885
p. m. Saturday night stated that both
armies were resting. Coupled with re-
ports received at ST. Petersburg Satur-
day from General Kuropatkin and
Lieutenant sakharoff reporting mac
tivity in the fighting zone Thursday
and Friday, this indicates that since
Thursday, because Of the torrential
rains and heavy roads, hostilities have
been reduced to minimum.
The rear guard Of. the Russians
have succeeded in taking most OF Its
transports and guns through Aukden.
The Japanese, however, are reported
going there by the railroad and q
force under General Kuroki in the
hills east of Mukden.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says the
war Office reluctantly disposed to adj
NIT that with the defeat Of the Rus
slams at Liao-Yang practically all hope
of turning the tide Of war this year
has departed; that Kuropatkin must,
retire, await reinforcements and pre-
pare for q new campaign next year.
Patiently and doggedly, in spite OF
successive reverses by land and sea,
General Kuropatkin's friends had PIN
ned their faith ii, his assurances that
when he accepted battle victory would
crown Russian arms, but failing In
his attempt to turn the scales, they
face another indefinite period Of wait,
ing. ~
No word is heard in st. Petersburg
looking in the direction of peace, how
ever.
Chinese reports received at Mukden
estimate the Japanese force In the!
battle OF Liao-Yang at 100000 men, OF
whom 10000 were Chinese and Ko-
reans.
General Kuroki reports that after
the battle of September 5, the. Rus
SLAMS took ten thousand wounded to:
Mukden, leaving one thousand dead In
the vicinity of Liao-Yang.
No Official figures on the losses at
the battle of Loao-Yang .haye been
given out, though Japanese officer
states that the Japanese losses at
Port Arthur during the last few days
were very heavy, exceeding fifteen
thousand, and that the Japanese kill
ed or wounded at the battle Of Lao
Yang exceeded twenty thousand.

ENORMOUS SUM is LOST
Over $4,000 Men Idle for Two Months,
Which Has Cost Strikers $1,000.
600 and Packing Men
$7,5o0,0oo.

A Chicago special says: The strike
Of sthe butcher workmen, which has
been On for the last two months, was
officially declared of Thursday night
by President Michael J. Donnelly, of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher workmen of America. 'Hs;
Thursday morning Mr.. Donneily
telegraphed the members Of the na.
tional executive committee asking
their consent to an announcement OF
the end Of the struggle. and later IN
the. day, having received favorable an
swers from all, he declared that the
strike OF the members of his organlzas
ton would end at midnight. =: jEE
The strike of the members of the
afiliated unions who quit work IN
synapathyr with the butchers, will also
officially be, called OF. This was de-
cided on at a meeting of the central
body OF the allied trades. - s
Donnelly Admits Defeat.
Donnelly said his men were defeat
ed end that in order to save his union
from disruption he. would order ais
men to return to work, no matter
what course might be taken by other
unions.
As the other unions have no griev-
ances Of their own, but had gone on
strike to aid the butchers, there was,
nothing left for them but to follow
the lead~of. Mr. Danneifys and they
too.s decided. to call off the strike as
far as they were concerned. IN
When the packers. were advised
that it had been decided to end the
strike, they announced that they
would give places as far as possible
to the skilled men, but it was said at
the same. time that many Of these
men would be unable to secure their
old places, as in many cases the work
was being performed in satisfactory
manner by men who had been secured
since the commencement OF tho
strike.
UnskilIed Men Lose Out.
It is expected that the majority OF
the unskilled men will be unable to
secure their places again. 1t was the
question Of wage scale for this class
OF men that brought about the strike,
the packers refusing to sign an agree
ment with any class other than skill
ed workmen.
During the strike approximately 53'-
600 persons have been involved Ia
the struggle, which is estimated 70
have cost the men about s5,000,000 IN
wages. as against an estimated loss
OF $500, 900 to the packers in loss OF
business and in increased expenses.
The greatest number Of idle men IN
Chicago during the strike was 26,6OO,
and the total in the country outside Is
estimated to be about the same.
The original cause Of the strike was
a demand by the Butchers Union that
the packers pay to the unskilled work
men Is 1-2 cents an hour. The pack
ers refused an agreement, but offered

WRECKERS ARE ACTIVE.
Two Passenger Trains on Central Of
Georgia are Derailed Within
Few Hours of Each Other.

A passenger train that left Savan-
nah, Ca, at 9 o'clock Sunday night
over the Central railway for Atlanta,
was wrecked at Ogeechee, six miles
from Rocky Ford, where the Savannah
bound train had been wrecked scme
eighteen hourse before.
Gabe Pilot, the colored fireman,
was killed. Engineer Frank Ardon
and the express messenger were in
jured. --.-..-. s.,--.. .~~..-.-.r.s, 's--.-'''
The wreck was caused by an ob-
struction that had been placed In the
switch. The wreck at Rocky Ford
had been due to the same cause. =,
The railway authorities have Issued
circular Offering reward Of $500
for. the conviction Of the person or
persons guilty Of causing either or
both of the wrecks. 1t is suspected
naturally, as the wrecks occurred at
points on the line so near together,
that they were the work of the same
person Or persons. AS 1t evidently
was the intention Of the wreckers to
pursue whatever grudge they may
have had against the road to the ut
most, the officials are particularly anx-
ious to bring them to speedy justice.
There was such a brief interval be-
tween the two wrecks that the Off
|Scia1s wish to leave the miscreants no
time in which to perpetrate further
crimes.
Since the fireman was killed in the
second wreck, the wreckers are. guilty
of % hanging offense. : It Glanced that
the special detective of the Central
was aboard the train wrecked at Ogee-
chez. He was On his way to Rocky
Ford, having taken the next train to
that place in order to work up the
case against those who had caused
the wreck there. Assistant Superln-
tendent T. S. Mise was also aboard
the train, travelling in his private car.
T,ls, with the Macon, Augusta and
Birmingham sleepers, did not leave

allsth other equipment did. The en-

to use the switch in the early part. of
the night, and as two freight trains
had passed safely. over the spot within
one hour of the derailment Of the pas

sive that the wreck had been deliber-

The American Wife.

cites a European saying that to de-
termine the nationality OF a couple
one has only TO observe them enter a
dining-rOom. II the man precedes
the woman they are English; if the
woman precedes the man, they are
French; but if they walk side by
side they are Americans. To this
the magazine adds the following
comment:
If, as a type, the American husband
possesses one fault more conspicuous
than another, IL IS HIS tendency TO be-
come absorbed IN business to the ex-
clusiou of his domestic life. A business
man in one of George AIDES fables says
that he provides the cash while his wife

been good enough TO themselves in
choosing their wives. II their lives

workbenches only the women have

II ever she makes so discreditable a
discovery, will herself be the best

Foreigners may be puzzled over
the American husband. Probably
they are. But whether they are OF

who has an American wife. He
knows her, and he appreciates her
value. If he Is half a man he counts
all he can do as mighty poor pay
