The Beginnings of Parker.

The New York Sun, now that it has
taken its stand. is ready and willing
to enlighten the people as to the Hill
Belmont candidate for the presidency,
and to point out to whom he owes his
political pull throughout his career.
Tt has gone back to Parker's political
beginnings. With Sunesque vindic-
tiveness it points out that Judge Par
ker first came into prominence in New
York State bv acting as State chair
man of the Democratic party, while
holding the Office of Surrogate judge
of Ulster county The sidelight of
this Is the pretension of the Parker
men that their candidate could give
no utterance on political questions
while holding a judicial Office, when,
as matter of history, he acted as
State chairman while holding judicial
Office and conducted a campaign in
behalf of HILL 1t was on the eve Of
this election that Chairman Parker is
sued a remarkable address containing
a denunciation of his Republican OPP
ponents that drew from the New York
Evening Post the following rebuke:
"The address of the Democratic
State committee Is a trife ridiculous.

We have seldom met with anything
in this department of literature so
unbridled as the address signed by
Mr.. Alton B. Parker on behalf of the
Democratic State col mittee. -
1t was on the death of Judge West
brook that Governor Hill appointed
his campaign chairman to the Su-
preme bench of the State. The gen.
eral view of the appointment under
the heading of Rewarding the Work
ers'' is chronicled in the New York
Times of that date:

of rewarding the faithful Democrats

The Gear and the Gypsy.

The Russian Gar is superstitious,
and gives audience readily to every
sort of charlatan and fraud. An
American resident of st. Petersburg
wrote home the other day: So.
"The town is humming with story
of the Gar and a gypsy fortune tel

"The girl is young, pretty and clev-
err Furthermore, she is frank, outra-
geously frank. She works on lines that
are original and unique. Sometimes,
really, she does a great deal of good.
"The Gar having heard of her sue
cess in Petersburg, sent for her the
other evening. She appeared before
him in the beautiful gypsy dress that

directed on the young man a smile

AMERICA
Trade With Japan-$950,O00 in
Gold.

The Pacific Mail Steamer which ar
rived at San Francisco last Friday
had in its treasure tank japanese gold
aggregating $95O,OOO. The coin is said
to have been shipped to pay for sup
plies required for the japanese army.
The American exports to Japan for
the second quarter of this year were
valued at $6,S6S,52S. The figures for
the corresponding quarter Of 1908,
when all was peaceful, were So ,5S9, 312
There has been gain of 90 per cent
in trade this Year. The gain may, in
deed, have been greater, for some of
the freight intended for Japan may
have been consigned to HOngkong and
sent to japanese ports from that point
Direct American exports to Asiatic
Russia never were excessive. For the
second quarter of 1908 they aggregat-
ed only 1884,, 15S. For the correspond
ing quarter of this year they foot up
only $S6649 American exports to
Russia in Europe have increased
slightly.
Thus far American trade has gained
through the war. Decreased sales III
Russia in Asia have been more than
made good by larger sales in Japan.
Probably, if the japanese had failed
to win the control of the seas, the
Russians would have been large buy
ers Of some American products, but

but the japanese would not have been
such good customers, nor would it
have been so easy to fill their orders if
Russian fleets were blockading their
harbors.

A prize of $25 was offered by manu-
facturer Of embroidery materials for the
largest club organized before October, and
the money was won by the Minneapolis
Taxa club. Meetings are held the first
Monday and the third Friday Of every
month in the A. o. U. w. hall on Seventh
street S. There is an initiation fee of 10
cents, and similar sum is paid every
month.
Each member is supposed to share her
member, and the club is really a clearing
house for embroidery ideas. The mem
bers have adopted the scissors, needle and
embroidery hoops which the clever Jap
anese embroiderers use, and are growing
more skilful every day. There is no age
limit, and little group of old ladies are
as enthusiastic as the young school girls.
Every branch of fancy stitching Is TAX
en- up, and each worker does what pleases
her most. There are no professional en-
broiderers, and household decoration Is
the object which each Is working for.

I'm not surprised at that" murmured
a manly voice back in the throng.
When women devote all Of their time
running to clubs they haven't any left
to learn sewing and cooking and other
womanly arts"
The woman turned with an indignant
stare. Evidently you don't know" she
said, that one Of the largest women's
clubs in the city was organized for no
other purpose than to make the members
more skillful with their needles. We have
meetings twice a month, and there Is an
average attendance Of seventy five"
The man didn't know it, and apologized
promptly. THAT is a club I should adj
wise my wife to join," he said, with fiat
tering emphasis.
Whether he would express quite such a
favorable opinion If he knew that en-
broidery and not plain sewing was the
work of the club is another question, but
one leads to the other, no matter which
you start with.

Perhaps the most strikiry feature of
these advance spring fashions is the alb
sence of the long fitted coat, that Of half
or three-quarter length, which made such
furore last season. The girl who prides
herself on keeping a conspicuous place
in the fashionable procession has cast it
out and has adopted in it's place the little
fitted jacket, which comes just over the

The smart girl who Is observant of

large part which cuffs and cuff trim
mings are to play in the coming modes.
For the cuffs themselves, there is large
and wide variety to choose from, but they
must be trimmed as deliberately as the
design and character of the garment will
permit. The collars, upon which during
the winter we lavished some Of our best
ideas, must take second place for the
nonce, while the cuffs come to the fore.

AS for the new materials there is a
marked preference shown for the soft,

purposes the mohairs and siciliennes are
in favor since these shed the dust and do

The newer developments Of the fascinat-
ing little Elton jacket show capes and
cape effects variously disposed. BY this
means the requisite long shoulder line is
obtained. and the shoulder seam success

are used to give variety to the design, and
to furnish a background for the omni-

a shallow pointed yoke, the shoulder
