Ex-c.ov. Waite, better known as

Waite's change.
The floating dock at Havana,
which Spain sent there in anticipa

States, and which cost a round mil

has sunk into the mud. In case of

would be deeper in the mud than i

apparent last week, in fact busi

Pending a hearing of his case in
the supreme court, Eugene Moore
is out of jail on a $25,000 bond.
There is reason to believe, however,
the supreme court will affirm the
decision of the lower court, and the
onlv advantage Moore will get will
be that for every day he is out on
bail his sentence in the penitentiary
is just that much reduced.
The increase in the pensions to
gether with the deficit in the
pension account for the present
3Tear, will require an appropria
tion of about $150,000,000 by
the present congress. "With the
exception of the year 1893 this is
the largest disbursement of any
one year. For the ten years end
ing June 30, 1897, the disbursements
for pensions was SI, 256, 266. 302.
This is an enormous sum of money,
but it has been well spent.
The manufacturing industries
which the protective system has
brought to such purfection are still
bteadily moving southward and
carrying with them the protection
sentiment into that section of the
country. Thelatest example of this
is found in the Indian Head Cotton

prietors have just closed a contract
for the sale of the entire output of
their mills in China during a five
years' period.

In accordance with the promise
made to The Triijune, Mayor Da'
on Fridav instructed the marshal
4
to close up the gambling houses,
and the latter carried out the in
structions. There were no games
or at least no open games run
ningFriday, Saturday or last nights
and the mayor says he is deter
mined that gambling shall be pro
hibited so long as he is mayor. In
this stand he will be supported by
The Tribune and nine-tenths of
the people of the city. The gam
blers, it is said, look upon the may
or's instructions in a light manner,
and intimate that the storm will
soon blow over, but in this intima
tion they are wrong. Gambling
will never again be permitted to
run as openly in North Platte as
during the past three months. The
Tribune knows the temper of the
citizens and therefore speaks ad
visedly. If the keepers of the gam
bling- places defy the order of the
mayor and police, it may be neces
sary for the people to petition the
district iudjre to summon a srrand
jury at the next term of court and
havea thorough investigation of the
matter. Or it may be necessarv to
make a raid on the places, as was
the notorious "Red Li"ht" subjected
to several years ago. Gambling
can be suppressed if the citizens
have the necessary "backbone,"
and many of them have informed
The Tribune during the past three
days that they have plenty of that
article.

A NIGHT IN NEW Y0KK.
Jolly Nellie McHenry will present
for the first time in this city her
comedy "A Night in New York",
on Friday evening next.
"A Night, in New York" is said
to be the most laughable hit in
which she has ever appeared. It is
from the pen of H. Gratton Donnel
ly, author of "Natural Gas," "A
Night ot the Circus" and other suc
cessful comedies, and is described
as his funniest play etfort. It has
more plot than the conventional
farce-comedy and relates to New
York life, a field of comedy broad
and deep and offering many op
portunities for the introduction of
original music, pretty songs, catchy
dances.
The story of the play is in three
acts of last and furious fun, and no
doubt Miss McHenry will make a de
cided ljit in her dual role of the
Peerless Peri, Queen of the vaude
ville, and Miss Henrietta, the quiet
demure country girl. She is the
life and soul of the piece from be
ginning to end although her sup
porting cast is an exceptionally
good one. Her antics, while dis
guised as a demure country maid,
are simply inimitable and will in
volve no end of laughter. The sec
ond act takes place at the French
Ball at its height in the Madison
Square Garden and is full of life,
color and animation.
The company is a large one and
among them are John Webster,
Richard Brown, William Hafford,
Billy Barro, J. Hays. J. Kenny, Miss
Mai Raymond, Mildred Connors.
Miss Viola Raymore, Miss Rosa
Crouch and others. "A Night in
New York" is said to be refined
and a charming entertainment,
well worth seeing.

FRIDAY FFP 17
EVENING, UCl. 1
The latest French skire models grow
Enrrowcr and closer on the front and sides.
Roman sash ribbons are employed very
prettily for vests and also for sashes on
tea gowns.
Tho latest coats in cloth or fur are sup
plied with very moderate sized sleovcs,
quito close to the arm except at the top.
Velvet ribbon, with silk fringe less than
an inch wido falling below each row
forms ono of the many modes of dress
trimming.
Bonnet strings tied in a smart little-bow
under the chin appear upon almost all tho
new models for winter, and black velvet
is the favored ribbon.
Black moiro trimmod very elaborately
on the bodice with jet spangled silk mus
lin forms a very elegant and very popular
gown for receptions, dinners and afternoon
teas.
Two now fashionable dress materials are
called peau do gazelle and pluiu do soie.
One is a fino cloth, very light in weight
and almost as glossy as silk, and tho othor
is a plain wool fabric with tiny silk loops
all over it.
Fashionable dressmakers both hero and
abroad are making most liberal use of
beautiful artificial llowers that look exact
ly like nature's own to decorate evening
toilets, and not a few fichus and bodice
are actually smothered with ro.es.
Besides tho embroidered and jeweled
trimmings, handsome laces aro much used
as fan bows, rosettes and wings on even
ing bonnets and hats and to drape the
crowns of small toques, with a spreading
or standing bow of somo rich color, with
a sparkling ornament in the center.
Neckties or tulle, chluon and cream
white net are a very fashionable addition
to both dressy and plain cloth gowns.
They aro cut wide and long enough to
pass twice around the neck and tie in a
bow with ends to tho waist, and aro trim
med with a frill of lace, insertions and
tucks between.
Collar bands aro still a very distinctive
point in the costume, and many very som
ber gowns have a dash of bright color at
tho neck, which adds wonderfully to the
effect. Folds of whito satin with three
folds of blue or red satin at tho upper edge
make an effective collar, as do folds of
whito satin with gold braid between.

Tho Italians who livo in tho neighbor
hood of the Wellington statue and Hyde
park corner in London have named the
place "Cavallinton," a corruption for
"cavallo alto Wellington" (high horse Wel
lington). Dr. A. M. Berger has found in the Vat
ican library prescriptions and directions
for treating various eye troubles in Mi
chael Angelo's own handwriting. He has
published them in tho original Italian,
with a few German notes.
One of the important oflicinls of the
German court is said to bo the "imperial
pants stretcher." As the emperor has over
100 pairs of trousers and changes them
with considerable regularity, the position
is far from being an honorary one.
French song writing is despaired of by

NOTABLE CAREERS.
li final tie r
Love is crowned triumphant
oniy in me come
mere a baby com-
pletes the tie
of matrimony.
A childless
marriage can
not be a happy
one. It takes
the final tie of
a baby to bind
two souls to
gether in mar
riage for better
or for worse.
Without this
l wedded couple
indissoluble in-
that makes daily
self-sacrifice not only a"4
possibility, but a pleasure.
There are to-day thousands of homes all
over the country that were once childless
and unhappy, but that to-day echo with
the laughter of happy babyhood, as a re
sult of a marvelous medicine, known as
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This is
the greatest of all medicines for women
who sufferer from weakness and disease of
the delicate and important organs that bear
the burdens of maternity. It makes them
healthy, strong, vigorous and elastic. It
makes them pure and virile. It allays in
flammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain
and tones and builds up the shattered
nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the
expectant period, and makes baby's com
ing easy and almost painless. It insures
the little new-comer's health, and a bounti
ful supply of nourishment It transforms
weak, sickly, nervous im'alids into happy,
healthy mothers. An honest dealer will
not urge an inferior substitute upon you.
"I am now a happy mother of a fine healthy
baby girl," writes Mrs. F. B. Cannings, of Xo.
4320 Humphrey Street. St. Touis, Mo. "Feel
that your Favorite Prescription has done me
more" good than anything I have ever taken.
Three months previous to mv confinement I be
gan using it. I was only in fabor fortv-fivc min
utes. With my first baby I suffered 1S hours
then had to lose him. He was very delicate and
only lived 12 hours. For two years'l suffered un
told agony and had two miscarriages. The
Favorite Prescription ' saved both my child
and myself."
