Sleepy Man Drops Off Train.

Trenton, N. J.-George Barlow, pro.
prietor of a hotel in this city, was re-
turning home on the Pennsylvania rail.
road the other night and fell asleep
soon after the train left Broad street
station.
The grinding of the brakes as the
train drew into the Torresdale sta
ton partly aroused him, and, think
ing he had reached Trenton, he
walked to the platform of the car and
stepped off. He landed heavily on
the stone ballasting and the train
sped on.
A few minutes later men at the sta.
ton heard Barlow's cries for help and
went to his assistance and carried him
to the station. 1t was found that
his injuries were quite painful, but not
serious.

PRETTY Ribbon Collar.

Many of the dainty summer frocks
show square Dutch" necks-a style
which is pretty, girlish and. cookbook
ing. A pretty detachable collar for
wear with dress of this kind may be
made from yard and quarter Of rib
bon, two and half inches wide. The
collar is easily made, as all that is
needed is to inter the ribbon at each
side of the center Of the front and
back, to form a square collar. There
are four miters in all. The outside OF
the collar is then outlined with narrow
valenciennes lace and finished at the
four corners of the inside with lace
put in diagonally to fill in the corners,
so as to give the appearance of inser.

FRAME EASILY PUT TOGETHER.
Necessary Article for Women Fond of
Embroidery Work.

The choicest needlework is frame
embroidery. Fabrics are manufac-
tured under tension and in most cases
the result of this tension is secured
by the last touches which they under
go when stretched on tenter hooks.
To embroider successfully one should
have one of these frames, which can
be made by the woman who is deft
with her hands. When completed the
frame looks much like a miniature
curtain stretcher The frame should
be made of hardwood laths, about an
inch wide. Holes are bored in each
end of each board, SO that the frame
can be made any desired size. An
iron or wooden peg can be slipped
into the holes to keep them in place.
When ready for use make the frame
the desired size and then the fabric
is ready to be corded around with
ordinary twine The fabric should be
turned over the Irvine about half an
inch all around and the cord should
be sewed in with fine silk floss rather
than cotton, which is likely to cut.
Sew the corners so firmly that there is
no danger of their pulling out, as most
of the strain will come on the corners.
A large upholstery needle should be
used for lacing the article into the
frame. Commence in the middle of
one side and lace in each direction
putting the needle under the corded
edge and drawing the Irvine through
tho distance of several wards Then
lace the two opposite sides and tight
en- the cords. Lastly tightly lace the
fourth side.

dredweight The Wisconsin Central is
also ordered to refund $38791 to the
Menasha Woodenware company of
Menasha for excessive charges for
hauling logs from McCann's spur to
Ladysmith. The railroad company
charged az cents a hundredweight,
while it should have charged COM
modify rate of 1h cents. The Chica-
go, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
company is ordered to refund $1202 to
the New Richmond Mills company for
excessive charges for hauling a car
load of mixed grain from New Rich
mond to Knapp. The Chicago, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis &c Omaha Railroad COM
pany is ordered to reduce it's rates on
hard and soft coal from Superior to
Augusta, that on the former from $1.75
to $1.65 a ton and that on the latter
from $1.40 to $1.25 a ton. The com

REPU BELGIAN CANDIDATES.

The Arizona Republican suggests two prominent republicans of Phoenix in connection with the republican nom. nation for congress in this territory. They are Hon. W. F. Nichols. ex-sec, retary of the territory, and General Sampson.
 Mir. Nichols sought the republican nomination four years ago, but lost it by small margin of votes in the ccz- vention. to B. A. Fowler, who made the famous water wagon campaign through the territory, attempting to make the necessity of irrigation which everybody recognized and was in favor of, the campaign issue. Mich ols is a pioneer of the territory and was a resident of Cochise county, re siding at Wilcox for more than twen- ty years. He is we'll known through. out the territory and is above re proach as an honorable citizen.
 Mir. Sampson has also resided in the territory great many years, though he was in the foreign service in South America for several years. He ranks as one of the masterful orators of the territory.
 The Republican suggests either of these gentlemen as desirable to head the republican ticket in Arizona this fall.
 However, word comes from Phoenix that Governor Kibbey is being urged by his friends to make the race for congress and it is quite likely that either Kibbey or Attorney General Clark will be the candidate.
 In the meantime Mark Smith will be the democratic candidate and it is a demonstrated fact new that his can didacy will arouse greater enthusiasm among the democrats this year than ever before.

eoMPERs AND THE LABOR VOTE.

Samuel Gompers. head Of the Amer. ican Federation of Labor, who was prominent at both the republican and democratic national conventions, has written a strong article in the Fedora tionist urging the laboring men of the country to cast their votes for Will liam Jennings Bryan for president of the United States. Air. Gompers urges as his reason for this request the treatment accorded the labor rep resentatives in the two conventions, pointing to the fact that the republi- cans in the injunction plank placed in their platform straddled and said no. thing to afford any comfort to the laboring men, while at Denver the in junction plank went almost to the granting of every demand made by the labor representatives present.
 MT. Gompers says the charge made by the republicans that he is attempt. ing to coerce the men who compose the various labor organizations of the American Federation is false. recog, nizing the right, as he says. of every man to vote according to what his conscience dictates will be best for him. Gompers, however, claims the right to appeal to the intelligence and conscience of the labOring man in the interest of the democratic ticket, be- cause of his belief that the republican party is tied hand and foot to the in terest of the democratic ticket, be. cause of his belief that republican party is tied hand and foot to the in terests which have little sympathy with the man who must earn his Hv- ing by the sweat of his brow.

The democrats of two counties placed themselves under the banner of Mark Smith last Saturday. The democratic committees in Ccconino and Santa Cruz counties held meet ings and selected delegates to the con- gressional convention to be held at Prescott on August s and instructed them to vote for the nomination of Mark Smith. This action was unani- nous in both counties and shows that the sentiment for Smith in Arizona has not been shaken during the last two years. Five of the Arizona coun- ties have now spoken in the matter of he democratic nomination for con gress, and the result is as follows:

CORPORATIONS AND POLITICS.

D
 The Phoenix Gazette professes to see evidence of the fact that the dem, ocratic party of Arizona is under the control of the corporations because this party proposes to again nominate Hon. Mark Smith as the democratic candidate for congress. In the terri tory of Arizona there are many eorpo- rate companies and many thousands of men working for these incorporated companies. Whoever is elected to of fee in Arizona will receive most of his votes from men in employ of cor rorations When conventions meet in the territory, whether they be demo cratic or republican, it will be found that in them are delegates from the various corporation interests of the territory. for the reason that in many of the counties the great bulk of the population is composed of employees of railroad and mining corporations. Would the Gazette have it understood that because a man is in the employ of railroad or mining corporation in Arizona he should be debarred from participation in politics or any other right of citizenship? If it would not stand for such a contention, then where would it draw the line? Would 1t draw the line and exclude the cor, poration president who has brought money to the territory for the develop ment of ifs resources. Would the Ga zette withhold political rights from a man who has worked himself from the mine to the position of boss, foreman or superintendent. or who had made the same advancement in the railroad service? Will the Gazette undertake to point out laws proposed or enacted by democratic legislatures in this ter ritory which warrant the assertion that the democratic party has been actuated by any desire to favor those who own or control corporations in Arizona or any other class of citizens? Let the Gazette answer.
 Certainly there is no act to be found in the long political career of Mark Smith which would cause the corporations to have any special in- terest in his election; among the so- called corporation men in this terri tory will be found both prominent democrats and prominent republicans; we should say that on this score both parties would break about even.
 We would advise the Gazette to find something else to whine about be- sides the corporation control of the democratic party, especially after making the charge that the late re- publican convention in Tucson was dominated by the corporate interests.
