A THE AMERICAN GOWNS COST $IOO EACH. TkoM Worst on Official (immIom by Jaft tic mt tb kiprrm rowrt. A justice par as much for hU ro! of. oftitts as he would pay (or a wry handsome suit of clothing, say the Washington Star. There Is a fixed price for the gown a price which iWs rot vary with lhe fluctuations in tho duties on silk. One woman has mailj all the juitiet8 frowns for forty years, and her invariable pi ice for one is 100. Like the tailors who make a specialty of outfits for oiliccrs of tho army and navy, she knows just liat are the rvt)iiiivnienU of a justice's gown, and all her customer has to be con cerned about is its tit. The pown must wt well across the shoulders, and it should reach from the neck to the heels; but it should not dra;,' on the floor. I say floor, because, except on inauguration day, the justice docs not wear his gown out of doors. When he attends an official dinner or reception at the White house, he wears the garb of everyday life; even when he calls on the president on the opening day of the court's session, he goes in the clothes ho would wear at tho break fast table. If you visited one of tho justices at his home of an evening, you would find a pleasant, rather oif hand man, in a frock coat, with none of the solemnity of manner that cloaks the justices when they are on tho bench. The supreme court justices are by no means unapproachable. They are, in fact, considered very jolly after-dinner companions and they aro in great demand in social Washington. Tho justice wears hi9 robe only when the supreme court, as a body, is participating in some ollicial ceremony. He may go gowned to a funeral, if it is an oflicial funeral. He wears it at the inauguration of a president, but ordinarily he puts it on in the robing-room in the morning and takes it off in the robing-room at dusk. Ho does not wear it even in the consulting-room, so there is very little wear and tear on it, and one robe will outlast several suits of clothing. According to tho technical descrip tion of it, the judge's robe is made of large, straight widths of silk. It is three and a quarter yards wide at the bottom. It has a narrow hem around the bottom and a broad hem down the front. It is guaged at the top to a yoke, which is short on the shoulders and forms a deep scallop at the back. The flowing sleeves are a yard and a quarter wido and reach to the wrist. A justice usually accepts his first gown without question; but as he grows a little older on the bench he is as fussy about the fit of the garment as a young woman with her first ball dress. Having donned their robes with the aid of the old attendants and they are old enough to be con spicuous even in this city of long ser vice the justices, at a few minutes before noon, cross the hall to the ante-room of the court. Tho transit of tho justices is a matter of daily in terest and wonder to tho visitors at the capitol. It is the signal for a raid .--a very subdued, dignified raid on the door of tho courtroom, where a doorkoejier sits, solemnly manipulating the swinging door with a cord. Only so many people, are admitted tothe courtroom, and tho number is small. There aro but a few rows of benches outside the inclosure reserved for the members of the bar. No crodwing of the courtroom is permitted. An m possible House, The man and his wife called on the, architect, and tho architect was glad to see them, for business was ex tremely dull. "We want you to build a house for us," said the man by way of introduc tion. "Thanks," bowed the architect, "I hall be only too glad to do so, and I am quite sure that I can give entire satisfaction." "Well, you ought to," remarked the lady, "we don't want much." "What kind of a house did you wish?" inquired the architect. "We want a good plain one of about eight rooms," explained tho man, and we will leave tho design to you. All we expect is that when you have finished it will suit my wife and my self. I mean on the inside; we are not so particular about the outside." The architect heaved a deep sigh. Tm very sorry," ho said, "but you will have to go to soma other archi tect We can't design an impossible house in this ofliee." Detroit Free Press. A Ieep-1. nil Scheme. "Yours is a perplexing case," said the oculist. "You call red 'purple' and referred to Nile green as 'Turkey red.' " "Yes," replied the visitor, with a contented smile. "I guess I was born that way." "It's the most aggravated case of color-blindness I ever encountered in my professional experience. "That's it. I want you to write me out a statement to that effect Never mind what the fee is. You see, my wife has a lot of samples she wants matched, and she'll &sk rue to taka the job some time next woek, sure." And then the oculist had his suspicions. Washington Star.

"Early rising is a great thing," said tho enthusiastic man; "a great thing." "Yes," responded the sluggard. "It makes you appreciate the chance for a nap in the morning when you get it." Columbia Nunnery. A young girl living la Columbus, O , whoe mother bid died, and whom" father wag a drunkard, lived with her cister. Ht-r father had driven her out of the house and then persecuted her, A letter was seDt to her making an ap point went and while Hireling the party a coupe drove up and the girl was draggtd into it and taken to the con vent.

The holy sisters met the sheriff and told him a deliberate, wilful lie, saying that she was not there, and they did not know where she was, thus defying the law. As soon as the sheriff had gone, two of the nuns took her out by a back way and started witn her on the elec tric cars. I;bpicQtd the sister was on the same car, and notwithstanding the entreaties of the sister they took tfce young girl back to the convent Thinking it over, they cuncluded that as they had been discovered in their lie, ar.d that they might get into court on the charge of contempt, they were a'raid to keep her. so escorted her to the entrance and told her to get out The end is not yet.

On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of the United States of America, and with a view of correcting the false Impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to the mlndtof men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statement made: The Loyal Orange Institution la a brother hood and lsterhood, bound by t'iree tlee Justice, Truth and Klghleousnest. It ha no hidden alms It is Fraternal und Benevolentassisting and protecting, members while living and tbelr widows and orphans when they are re moved by death. It upholds the right of private Judgment--the untrammelled freedom of opinion: be lieves the public schools are an essential afeguard of the state, and should be kept free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control and that persons disloyal to the government who hold a mental allegiance to the pope of Koine should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance Is due to the government which protects the lives, liberties and properties of Its cltltens, and that ecclesiastical authority should Jot' under any circumstances, be permitted to meddle lu the affairs of state, and that coer cion of acltiien In the exercise of his or her right of franchise, under the guise of relig ious or spiritual authority should be pun ished as a crime against the state. That It Is the duty of every cltlien to de fend the lawfully constituted authority and Institutions of our country against corrupt and Inimical Influences, as well as against armed assailants, to the end that our glori ous freedom be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourages habits of frugality and In dustry among Its members, and is proud to boast that Orangemen seldom become a public charge or accept pauper bread. It believes In the restriction of Immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alliatlon of citizens, and that the public ands shall be held for actual American an iens who become settlers. The Loyal Orange lustltutlon of the United States of America has certain requirements for membership: That a man shall be an actual American cltlcen. having compiled with the lawsof the United states with regard to naturalisation. and without a mental reservation. That the applicant shall be a Protestant, and also that bis parents and wife shall be Fro test ants. That he shall be thrifty and successful in his business: honorable and truthful In his dealings with bis fellowman. and shall be known as a law-abiding citizen. That he will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at leasts food common scnooi education, ueing care ul to avoid all popish doctrines, and That he shall be In sound health at the time of making application. it makes no difference where a man was born, so long as he meets the foregoln requirements. TheBe are the Qualifications reaulred o every applicant to the order, and we do not think that anv patriotic American order can offer a better array of nrinc.lples and teach ings. J. 0. C. A. 31.

We would respectfully call your attention to the fact that there la In this city a Council of the Order of United American Mechanics, to which we would be happy to have you give a moment's thought, and tf favorably Impressed, would like your name proposed for membership. The Order of United American Mechanics was organized In Philadelphia on the 1Mb day of July. lt45. Its first Inception was for the protection of Mechanics aud Working men alone, and for a number of years none but operative mechanics and worklngmen were ar milted to Its membership; but the great Interests of principles Involved In lu existence, caused a departure from that plan, and the Order has for years existed and exists today as an order of speculative me chanics, recognlilng every one possessed of the birth requirements, who works for a malntalnance either by hand or brain or both as eligible to membership, and numbers among Its members men of every profession, and calling In life. The objects of this order are to assist each other In obtaining employment: to encourage each other In business; to establish a Hick and funeral fund; to establish a fund for the relief of widows and orphans and to aid members; and to aid members who, through Providence, may be Incapacitated from fol lowing their usual vocations, In obtaining situations suitable to their afflictions. The membership of this order Is composed of white male citizens born In the United States, or under the protection of Its flag. This order has existed for nearly fifty years, and Is at present, rapidly spreading through out the United States. As an American born, and having the welfare of yourself and family at heart, as well as that of the nation at large, we would most heartily Invite you to become a member of the U, A. M., as It Is the only Order In existence founded es pecially to promote the Interests, elevate the character and secure the happiness of the American mechanic and business man. It therefore appeals to the head and heart of him who wields the pen as well as to hltn who swings the scythe or wields the sledge hammer of the mechanic. In Its councils, a free discussion of principles relating to the fostering and care of tho Interests of Indi vidual members Is permitted; but nothing of political or sectarian character Is ever al lowed to be discussed. It has no affiliation with such Institutions as Trades Unions, Knights or Labor, Sovereigns of Industry, or the like, and desires not to control either Capital or labor, as it would be doing a gross njustlce to many of Its members, who are taken from both classes. The membership of the Order Is scattered from Maine to Cali fornia, and from all points co'nes Ihe glorious news that the Order Is gaining great strength In all Jurisdictions. An endowment branch is also connected with the Order, both national and state, which Insures those who seek Its benefits, enabling them to leave a sum, which Is In all cases substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death marks ! mem bers tor its own. It seems very strange Indeed that the American does not feel Inclined to become so peculiarly national in his Ideas and as sociations as do the English, French, Ger man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national organizations, and take pride In same. But the American Joins order after order, composed of a mixture of nationali ties, and lets his own countrymen severely alone In the matter of secret and fraternal societies. We would not belittle any of the existing secret beneficial associations. Far from It. They are a power for good iu the community. But we do ask him who Is to the manor born to turn his thoughts to home and native land, so that he can Join In the glad refrain: "Thou art my native land. I own thy fostering hand; Though far from thee I roam. Still thou art my home." Americans, we of this Brotherhood appeal to you to aid us In this work we are now carrying on. You must either be for us or against us. Choose quickly and let us show to the country that we firmly believe In American principles. American Industry, American protection and American govern ment. Strikes riots and boycotting are terms too harsh to be applied to American Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings of patriotic affection, may this Order grow and progress, until every man who calls himself American can stand up and say In all sincerity. I own no man as noisier ot my actions.
