From the Taller.
People sometimes wonder what sum is
put aside for dress by the daughters of
royal houses.
Before her marriage. read the, other
day. the Duchess OF Fife was said to have
small dress allowance. and the sum Of
81. 800 year was mentioned. Besides
yachting and everyday dresses. and ali the
usual costumes required by a girl OF the
upper class. royal princesses have also to
wear the costly and elaborate dresses which
their rank demands at the weddings Of
their near relations
On the whole, 1t may be asserted that a
frugal princess may spend as little as g. 900
q year on her dress. while her more wealthy
and extrayagant sister may ind her dress
bills amount to ten times that sum.
The Empress of Russia, who more than
any other European lady Is able to indulge
her widest fancies. dresses with this great

Ex-senator William e. Chambers open
defiance of the President and the desperate
and ineffective effort Of the democratic
leaders to create antagonism between the
President and some of the ablest leaders
Of his party in the Senate, have been the
talk Of the town today. but as the excite
ment which first attended the Bailey and
TiHman attacks Of yesterday dies away, a
calmer view of the situation IL taken, and
1t Is generally felt that the occurrences of
the last few days have merely served to
demonstrate the extent of the President
victory and his ability as a party leader,
for, unlike Mr. Cleveland he has achieved
his victory without disrupting his party.

From the PhiladeIphia Ledger
The democrats have served their pur-

United States can play politics a little
better than the democratic senators or
the republican senator's.
