KfW Tork enrrennoiXUnr: N' fall tailor (nm there are many re minders of fine fig ures. In these glove filling suits figures are disclosed that have not been ins pected of shapeli ness for several sea sons. Allegiance to blouse models has been accountable fur all thii, and now that the fit is close from chin to well over the hips, wom en tin (J leg and less reason to regret the blouse's departure. Another feature that makes the new tailor suits attrac tive ia that tasteful trimming i permitted. Once thitt glove tightness had to be left unrelieved. The first of to-day's pictures hows one way in which a little ornament ation may be made to go the needed dis tance. The goods here was heavy mixed gray cheviot, the severity of outline in front being relieved by the odd interlock ing fastening, and by bright scarlet braid with which the Jacket was bound. A scar let broadcloth collar was laid on rhe cloth collar, the gray ami scarlet being an imi tation of one of the Russian olficinl com binations. Scarlet, silk lined the skirt, the bat was hardly more than a big bow of very dark rod holding back a black brim, and littie tabs of scarlet were at the wrists. Such a dress will wear well into the winter, for it is heavy, and the scar let gives it a cozy look. Its skirt was long, but an ankle walking skirt went with the jacket, all the best tailor gowns , taking two such skirts according to the current fancy, , I Other tricks of tailor trimming are more ' accurately described as tricks of cutting, j Almost all skirts are two pieced, either j ninny or in ciieet, anrl jackets are di vided, a new notion being to have a yoke haped top extended in a shield front, while back and sides are one. In such model the joining of yoke and front shields is rendered conspicuous by cord ing or trimming. In the gown of this type pictured here an appearance of an over skirt wan given by cording, while what is supposed to be the underskirt was run with close sot lines of black stitching. The jacket was trimmed to match. The ma- 01 $H A ty'A hxd P w w p'iM jw swa';;kr loungers who siiui j.h.n t lounge. terinl was a leaf bron u, amootli faced wool. Strapping is more fashionable tlian ever, nd there is a fancy for strapping in cloth contracting with the cloth of the dress. The third of the tailor mades the artist puts here wns one of these. Of bright blue mohair, the gown waa strapped with brown broadcloth, brown and blue being one of the Inter combinations. The double points strapped on the skirt make a very becoming relief to its simplicity, and the Tolling is very wtylish on jackets. The wais'coat was overlaid with brown traps. Such a dress will serve all wnlk ing and simpler demands, and every one knows that nothing wears better than mo hair. A waistcoat of bandana plaid showing blue, brown, scarlet and bright rrCCT OAINKI) lit CUBDMO AMU STITCHING. green, with yellow in the blending, would have been more striking and perhap mor stylish a combliiition with Ihii dress, these bandina plaid waistcoats being the very late cry.

To the same end were the uplifted single feather on the jaunty bat and the up-curve of the brim. If a little trimming is made to go a good ways in tailor costumes, the same cannot be said of breakfast and lounging gwns. The graceful wrapper that is first in the accompanying large picture was fined snugly everywhere, the lines of the figure being relieved by a straight fold turning back each side of the open front. The belt assed under these folds to oiasp close the front of tucked and ribbon-run lawn, and the fold's edges were finished with little lace frills. The back was exactly like the front in design, a slight train being added and the lawn TRIMMFD WITH FOLDS AND BRAID. front overlying the shoulders in a deep frill. It was of ivory gray cashmere. Another of these pretendedly easy and careless gown that are dress-ups, in a way, is second of these three pictures. It was made with an overgown of ruby Tel vet, princess In the Uick and Inid back in generous revers that extended almost to the hem of the skirt. These revers were faced with white velvet and edged with a tiny line of black fur and inlaid with white lace flowers. The belted-in underrobe was pleated crepe de chine in a lovely sunrise pink. The last of these dresses is genuinely loose and easy, its overgown, hung free from the shoulders, being shaped towards the figure Just enough to suggest graceful outlines. The sleeves of the overgown were loose, also, like drooped flounce from the shoulders over the bare arms. The underrobe of ciel blue satin fell loose from the point of its collar, which showed the throat in classic severity. The outer robe was heavy white broc de velvet, fig ured with silver outlines. The facing back of the outer robe was ermine, and an edge of Hie fur finished the collar. Sleeves were edged with blue satin, a cap of satin finishing the shoulders. For a silver blonde nothing could he more beon tiftil, and though costly the simplicity of arrangement saved the robe from undue ostentation. L'udi of these three models is susceptible of reproduction in less ex pensive stuffs. Copyright, IHtiH, Picture of (irorgo liliot, George Kllcit was at this time about fiO, but looked years older. She wore, as alio always did, a plain silk dress, to-night having a white shawl about lior shoulders and light gloves In hoi hand, being Indeed dressed for the op era. Some people have tnlki-d anil writ ten of the ugliness of this great woman; this sort of criticism recalls a famous scene In "Mlddleninrch." "Mr. Casau bon has a wart on his nose," said pert little Cella to her slater. "I dare Bay he has," was Dorothea's dignified re buke, "when certain people look at him." And thus George Kllot In some eye was ugly because, forsootii, she lacked dimpled cheeks, round eyes, and pretty mouth! If hers was ugliness, would we had more of. It In the world! When in speaking, her large, usually solemn fenturcs lighted up, a positive light would flash from them, a lumin osity Irradiate, not her own pcraon only, but her surroundings.

Why, gold In money, my son. Ma's ring is gold; Is it money? No; gold has to be sent to the mint and be coined first, and then It ia money. What Is a mint? It's a great big building where tbey take gold and melt it into bars, and then tbey sump It What do tbey stamp on It for? Oh, I mean they have a machine that prints on it, five dollars, ten dollars or twenty dollars. Is It money before they print on It? What makes you ask such foolish questions? Don't bother me. But, pa, I want to know. Everybody Is talking about money, and I want to find out. Well, let me gee. I never thought atMiut It before. No I guess It Isa't money before they print on It. Then does the printing make the money? You said that gold wasn't money; then what Is money? If the money isn't In the gold nor in the printing, where Is it? I'll lie banged If I know. I'll have to look this up. But there Is such a thing as money, Is there not? Why, of course there Is. There, now, what have you got your hand In my pocket for? I want to see whit you have got In your pocketbool;. Say, what's this? That a greenback. Is that money? Yes. Then a piece of paper with some thing printed on it Is money? Y-e-s, I s-u-p-p-o-s-e s-o. Well Is It the paper or the printing that makes this money? It Is the printing. But a while ago you said Just print ing can't be money. Neither can It be. But if the money is not In the paper nor In the printing, where is !t? Now, do ,sto), or you'll drive me crazy. What does intrinsic mean? I see that the New York papers say that tho Intrinsic value of the metal In a dollar must be worth a dollar before it Is made a dollar. You mean, pa, that It must be worth a dollar as It Is after? Y'es, that's It. - Is that what you call an honest dol lar? Yes, my son, that's the kind of money I believe In. Don't you believe In other kinds? No, Mr; I don't. How big would the honest dollar plan make the silver dollar now, pa? Why at the present value of silver, It would be about three and one-fourth Inches In diameter. I tell you, my son, no cart wheels for me. You believe In greenbacks, don't you, pa? Oh, yes, of courRe I do. How much was lhe paper in that worth before It was printed Into a five Collar bill? Why, ah say, I'm busy. Pa, I'm seeking information. Oh, well, about a cent, I suppose. Now run away, I'm very busy. (Hoy goes out.) That was a close call for me. How the deuce Is this a live-dollar bill, the best in the world, made of a cent's worth of paper, and my papers all urging me lo howl for an honest dollar? My (Sod, here he comes again Say, pa, how big would that green back of yours lie oii your Intrinsic plan? Oh. run off. now, that's a good hoy. I don't wnnt to be a good boy. I'd rather be a smart one. Say. pa. It would be five hundred times as big as It Is, a regular blanket sheet, ax It were. Well, run off now, I've got the head ache. Pa, there's only seven cents' worth of copper In a hundred cents, and only M cents' worth of material in twenty nickels. If this honest money plan, that the money lenders are trying to fasten upon the country, prevails, pen nies ought to Im seven and one-half Inches In diameter, and nickels about throe and one-half inches. As It Is, they are dishonest. Any government that makes dishonest things Is dishonest and a dishonest government ought to be overthrown. My son, that's anarchy; and No, pa; that's logic. Either yon must drop that Idiotic, absurd intrinsic Idea, or elae a hundred dollar greenback ahould be as big as a barn lot. ; Why, how ridiculous Ridiculous, pa. It's d d foolishness. Why, If these fools destroy silver, where will you get gold to pay that 11,000 you owe? There Isn't $20 In this township. Why, I don't know. I hadn't thought much almut It. I Isn't It a fact, pa, that you have let the bought and paid for newspapers do your thinking for you? If you have got a think shop, why not use It a lit tle?

Heroes of War and Peace. Ay, that is a story that takes one's breath How the men rowed out in the face of death; Rowed aa calmly as fishermen may Who haul their sets at the break of day. But never wai fishnet hauled In the weather That rifle and cannon and shell together Rained on those sailors who drew from Its bed The wise sea serpent and crushed its head. But where is the story and where is the song For the heroes of peace and the martyrs of wrong? They fight their battles in shop and mine; They die at their post and make no sign. And the living envy the fortunate dead As they fight for a pittance of butterless bread. They herd like beasts In a slaughter pen; They live like cattle and suffer like men. The life that has nothing to hope or gain But ill-paid labor and beds of pain? Fame, where is your story and where is your song For the martyrs of peace and the victims of wrong? Ella Wheeler Wilcox. l'rolectlon and the Gold standard. The word protection as applied to the policy of the Republican party by Its press and stump orators is made to cover a multitude oT sins. The present policy of the party that prates about protection to American Industry and lalor Is a stranger to the true meaning of the term employed. The word "pro tection" is prostituted to base purposes by the Republican party. The Ideas suggested by the, word pro tection assimilates In the mind with the desire for self-preservation, which is the strongest human instinct. A po litical organization conveying the Idea I that this word defines ils policy makes a strong draft upon the sympathy ant a flection of all who feel tin: need of defense against the many adverse con ditions that encumber life's pathway. The Republican party for many years has received the support of thou sands of voters In each of n large num ber of States on the ground that It was the party of protection; that under Its benign policy the laborers of the coun try would be free from competition with the poorly paid and pauper labor of foreign countries. This was a strong bill fur votes, to w hich the Republican party owes its success at the polls in several national elections. It Is not our purpose at this time to enter Into the merits or demerits, of the system of taxation enlled the protec tive system, or to di.vuss the uses or abuses of a tariff lr.von Imports. The scope of our present discussion will be confined to showing that the protective principle Is not operative tit the pres ent time and cannot be made operative miller existing conditions; that is. the laborer cannot be made the bcnellciary of a high tariff, that other factors are operative that render It impossible for a tariff to enable him to command and receive higher wages on account of the tariff. In this connection, however, it Is admitted at the oulset that a tariff can and docs enable the vender of do mestic products to command a much higher price for his products than could be obtained under free trade or a purely revenue tariff. A further limit Is put upon the pres ent discussion by omitting all refer ences to the changed conditions result ing from the loss of a universal par of exchange lictween nations on account of the demonetization of silver, and by not Introducing at this time the present disadvantages and the future menaces to labor In our own country on account of the premium on gold exchange In Asia and the discount here on silver exchange, because open mints no long er give steadiness and stability to the exchange market The evils of an appreciating money standard In our own country In our trade relations with countries having a different standard will be treated at a future time. Our purpose at the present time ia to show that tariffs can not be made to afford protection to labor In one country against the labor of other countries using a common money atandard If that standard be an appreciating one; or, In other words, that the protective principle cannot be made operative between countries pricing their products In gold alone so long aa gold Itself la growing dear and the price levels of all gold-using coun tries a re constantly sinking to a lower level. It Is admitted by all well-Informed men In this country and Europe tbat relative to other things gold has dou bled In value since 1873; that an ounce of gold exchanges for twice as much of thing In general now aa then. It la also admitted that the progress thus far made toward making gofd alone tbe money of final payment bai been but slight, and that If the estab lishment of a gold, atandard la perse rered In tbe fall In general price yet to come will be very ever and must continue through a protracted and In definite period of time.

They also show that fne competition In tbe production of commodities Is rapidly yielding the field of industry to gigan tic co-partnerships or trusts that wield despotic power In domestic trade, and that economic forces are lieing dis placed by the power of monopoly. The growth of monopolies and trusts in our own country during tbe past thirty years has been greater than in- any other. The strange paradox presented by the past thirty years should cause all liberty-loving citizens to hesitate, reflect, and seek out the cause and rem edy In order to avert the Inevitable cataclysm toward which we are drift ing. Thirty years ago tbe people of tbe United States were practically free from debt; they now owe thirty billion dollars. Thirty years ago our foreign debt was merely nominal too Inslg-. nificant to deserve mention. It Is now between six and ten billion dollars. During this time the percentage of la borers who owned their own homes has constantly and rapidly declined, and tenant farmers have multiplied at even greater ratio. The formation of trusts continues to grow while millions of laborers are Idle and their families suffer for bread. Protection has failed to protect. "Labor has no voice In tbe determination of wages until employ ment for all is first made possible. The Idle and starving laborer fixes the price of labor. Under a gold standard tariffs will fail to protect until tbey can stop the fall In prices brought about by the appreciation of gold. The gold stand ard and protection are incompatible; their work Is in opposite directions, and to persevere in the futile attempt to make both operative at the same time, will only hasten the subjugation of the people to the rule of monoply. Silver Knight Watchman. The Lenan of " Algerian!." There Is something peculiarly pitiful In the death of a soldier in battle. The sudden chill that falls upon life in Its hottest flame, quenching the pride of youth, the furious joy of combat, the rapt exaltation of patriotic ardor, is the most dramatic and most cruelly com plete of all the triumphs of death. The wild Mussulman hordes that lately de tied the British troops in Africa were sustained by a tierce fanaticism, believ ing that to kill many infidels and to be killed by them finally Is the surest way to win the coarse Mahometan paradise. Our volunteer army, with its quiclt Intelligence and high type of loy alty and valor, has more to lose by death and far less hope, of gain. The pious peace of our conventional idea of heaven seems not less alien to the soldier's fiery energy than is the dark pagan realm of nothingness, where the glorious yesterday o Santiago "Is owe, with Nineveh and Tyre." The legitimate fruits of tvar are sure ly bitter enough, Including slow death by wounds and mutilation and life-long diseases due to inevitable hardship. But our latest war has brought a worse calamity to the arrnv n Rlinrnei grief to lis friends, and a deeper shame to the nation. The men who went out. rich In health and strength, full of high hope and courage, are coming back sick, wea.ry, disillusioned, loaded down with death and disease. They have been strangled with red tape, huddled In unhealthy camps, forced to drink filthy water and to eat disgusting food; exposed to a thousand needless hardships, hot In au enemy's country, butlfor the most part) in their own land of plenty, under an administration which had unlimited means and facili ties for supplying their lie- :1s. This colossal waste of rare material, this wholesale murder of young enthusi asm, Is a crime for which there Is no possible adequate punishment. And the real criminal Is myriad-headed. Alger Is no more to blame than Mc Kinley who appointed and upholds him, and he In turn Is the creature of the great American iieoplo, which (as a body) deserves no better treatment than he has given It. When has It ever required that public servants should hold public Interests paramount? This terrible disaster was clearly foreshown In tbe early days of the war. Front the first, political influence was ailowed to override military training and experience. When the commissary and quartermaster departments were filled with political appointees, some Independent newspapers warned the President that evil would come of It, and that It was a crime to put the sol diers' welfare Into such bauds. But for the most part the press made a jest of our national disgrace, and the peo ple took It as a matter of course. To go still further back what was the use of calling out 200.000 volun teers, In addition to enlarging the regu lar army? We have not used one-fifth of this nuniler In Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Rico, although the latter Island was notoriously made a "picnic" ground for many more troops than could be needed. It may be said that we could not foresee the spe-dy end of the war; but In reality It was foreseen. Spain was known to be bankrupt, and no atate can make war nowadays with out plenty of money, any more than a warship can move without coal. It was plain tbat abe only meant to make a show of fighting. But Instead of allow ing the navy to act before the enemy bad time to fortify, as all F.urope and America expected It to do, the Presi dent held It back, and called for 1 25. 000 Tolunteera. Presently he demanded 75,000 more, while tbe first army was till In a atate of chaos, lacking almost everything. Then he began to talk of a third call, but this waa too prepoa teroua even for the all-enduring Amer ican peopto. Those Southern camps, where onr man have aweltered and auf fered and dted by hundreds, have not only proved needle a, but were known to b bo fraa tbe Irat, by tba rule of r"fnnit -j , . i tt- -llifwl. Put tliere were) thousand oi' applicant for oUk-lal places in connection with the army, and just then It waa easy to extend th held of possible favors at the expenaa of a patient people. What else could we expect from the average "atatea man?" Woman's Journal. Argument Atper Can Cnderatand. The outcry against Alger and Alger Ism ba been going on quite long enough now to have worn Itself oat If It were merely sensational; but. Instead of that. It Is louder and deeper; and the charges, which at first were couch ed In general terms, are growing ape cine, the chief offenders are being pointed out by name and accused to their faces. Further than that, Washington dispatch to the New Y'ork World, Democratic authority, but supported by abundant collateral evi dence, says that Chairman Babcock, of the House Committee on Military Af fairs, and Vice Chairman Hull, of tha Republican Congressional Committee, had an interview with the President the other day, and told him plainly tbat the presence of Alger In the Cabinet la a menace to Republican success In tha November elections, while the former, who has been making a tour of New England to collect campaign funds, re ported that the manufacturers general ly refused to contribute so long aa Alger remains In office. This Is an ar gument that Secretary Alger can com prehend, if the President cannot, and, if the World's information is correct, we may expect to hear of his resigning at an early day. If not, both he and the President may have a rude awak ening on the 9th of November. Phila delphia Public Ledger. Ho Not Need Men. It is a question of a very few year when the miners will witness two thirds of their number who are now employed In the mines thrown out of work, for Improved machinery is ad vancing very rapidly in producing coal. The Link Belt Electric Company have perfected a machine that will cut and load 212 tons of coal In twenty-four hours, with five men to operate It, and where two or three hundred men are now employed it would only take about five machines and fifty men to produce the same output or more. Cleveland Citizen. Why Continue the War Tax f Dollars to doughnuts that President McKlnley will not recommend the re peal of the war tax when Congress meets in December. Our national treasury is overloaded with money re ceived from the sale of bonds that were unnecessary. The Dingley tariff bill is still in force and the war is over. Why should this burdensome and an noying tax be continued, If the Ding ley bill and the gold standard can giva the nation prosperity? 1'rnctica' f hriitianity.

Equity demands that dejrts should be cut in half as often as the purchasing ixiwer of money Is doubled, when the increase in the value of the money Is caused by the source of money supply being cut off by law. Smells that Hurt. Some smells are dangerous. A single sniff of highly concentrated prusslo add will kill a man as quickly as a shot through the heart. The odor of a bad egg is due to the presence of sulphuretted hydrogen, and the objectionable perfumes of sewer and bone factories are attributable chiefly to the sanie gas. ' Chemical lalKiratories are famous for bad smells. Berzellus, who discovered the element called "selenium," once tried the experiment of permitting a bubble of pure hydrogen sclenlde ga to enter his nostril. For days after ward he was not able to smell strong ammonia, the olfactory nerves being temporarily paralysed. Selenium gas has the odor of putrid horse radish. Tellurium is even worse. There is a story of a physician whose patient, a lady, refused to take an ab soluf5ly necessary rest because she was so fond of being always on tbe go In society. He gave her a pill-containing a small quantity of tellurium, and her breath was affected by It to such an extent that she waa not able to ap pear in public for a month. She never guessed what the trouble waa. Th volutized essential oil of roses la sup posed to cause "rose cold."
