Yellow Beauty Powder Now.

The latest invention of a certain
beauty doctor" is yellow powder. The
doctor" learned his little secret from
the fascinating maidens and squaws
of a Canadian Indian settlement The
powder is not really golden yellow;
it merely has that rich, creamy brown
tint that is seen in the skins of Indian
girls and some of the duskier maids of
our own race also. 1t is made by the
simple process of burning little of
the chalk on a rock set in the sun and
mixing the burnt chalk with the white
until the creamy color is obtained.
"The only trouble in marketing this
new powder" remarked the doctor
"is TO find any woman sallow or black
enough to acknowledge that she needs
yellow powder. The most bilious look
ing creature | ever knew would rather
make a whited sepulchre of herself
than acknowledge to her own soul that
she is anything but milk and roses"

From. this situation it is easy to
see republican success in Idaho, and
the downfall Of Dubois. If the Nor
mon voters had been as wise and as
courageous as they are industrious,
Dubois would not have dared institute
the scheme of challenging every one
of them, in his effort to disfranchise
them at the present election. But it
S likely that they have the sense
and wisdom to call his bluff, and insist
on voting, as is their right. Governor
Gooding probably will win without
them; but they are entitled to vote
and ought to persist in doing so.

THE CONTEST IN IDAHO.

A careful investigation of the
idaho situation reveals that
If there is fair election
there, Governor Gooding will be re-
turned by handsome majority over
Stockslager, the Dubois candidate
Not even the dastardly scheme of the
democrats to disfranchise the whole
Mormon people in Idaho can prevent
it.
Notwithstanding the claims of va
rious parties, careful inquiry shows
that northern Idaho is safely for
Gooding, which means the election of
the whole republican ticket and the
overwhelming defeat of Fred T. Du-
bois as a political factor in that state.
Whe only dark spot in all the prospect
is that when Idaho kicks Dubois out
he will come to Salt Lake and throw
mud with the Kearns gang
The northern part of Idaho will give
Governor Gooding not less than 5000
votes the start of Stockslager, who
has been playing double-faced game
to hi sown undoing. The southern
counties in Idaho ought TO add 10000
to this figure.
1t is impossible of belief that the
democratic nominee will get any Nor
= mons to support him. The republican
party has toted fair with the Mormon
people, and these folks in Idaho as
well as in Utah, ought to know their
friends.

Finder, Trolley Men and Police
WrangIe Over 3 Cents.
A witty little Irishman and a Metro
politan street railway inspector spied at
the same instant Monday a purse in a
seat on Lexington avenue car crossing
42d street. The inspector reached for
it second too late, says the New York
World.
Here, you'll have to give that up"
demanded the inspector.
You don't say" said the man with
the treasure trove already in his pocket.
Remember the Maine"
The conductor of the car took a stand
beside the inspector and then the motor
man tumbled off his platform with con-
troller bar ready for action. But the
three street car men could not feaze the
little Irishman. The inspector finally
summoned a policeman, after traffic had
been blocked so long that passengers in
about twenty stalled cars were thinking
about getting out to foot 1t.
The policeman advised the purse find
er to give it to the inspector, but he
was firm, and so policeman, inspector
and purse finder five minutes later were
standing before the desk in the Eas'
51st street police station.
"Me names Tom Malloy," said the
son of Erin, "and I'd like to say thai
I've lost a lot of things in me time, bu
never had the strong men In brass
buttons worry me finding thim."
The desk sergeant told Malloy tina
he would either have to give the purs
into the custody of the railroad EN-
ployes or the police. He explained tina
under the law Malloy could claim tn
purse in five years if the lawful owne
b.. did not recover it before then.

GERMAN MUNICIPAL CONTROL
How the Local Government OF the

How the Local Government Oh the
Large Towns Is Managed.
G. ]. \. Rogers of the local govern
ment board in London has issued spe-
cial article on local government in Ger
many, compiled with exhaustive FULL
ness. says the New York Herald. The
following extract states the attitude
of Germany toward the much-veXed
problem of municipal trading:
In most of the large towns the gas,
water. markets and electricity under
takings are owned ana managed by the
local authorities. AS regards tram
WAYS. German towns are not quite so
advanced as towns in England, but 1t
is the evident intention of the COM
munal bodies generally to obtain pos
session of that important means OF
communication whenever the opportun-
| ity offers. In addition to the under
takings mentioned, all towns of any
size have their own savings banks, and
most Of them carry on the business OF
pawnbrokers. A large majority, too
possess municipal theaters and concert
halls. A few own quarries one (Gor'
litz) engages in the manufacture OF
bricks and tiles. owns coal mine. anC
manufactures artificial stone In con
nection with the ownership of com
munal forests, several towns deal il
timber for building purposes, and the
supply of fuel. Harbors, docks, quays
land wharyes are also owned by variou:
towns"
In the opinion of many of its oppo
nents municipal trading should not b'
conducted with a view to profits. Ii
Prussia this question is settled by tn,
law. Section 3 of the communal taxa
ton law provides that Commercial un
dertakings of the communes shall b.
administered upon the principle tina
the income raised shall suffice at leas
to meet the whole of the expenditur
arising from the communal undertak
ing, inclusive of interest and reduction
of the invested capital. An exception
is admissible so far as the undertaken
serves at the same time a public nee
which is not otherwise met" The lat
ter part of the provision refers to wa
] terworks, markets and similar under
, takings, but these concerns are, as
general rule, to be so managed that n
