Now Give Business a Chance, One blessing that we have a right to expect as a sequel of the November elections is the passing away of the calamity-howler. The Republican campaign speakers and writers have professed to believe that the great in dustrial and commercial depression that has been felt through the whole world was caused by Democratic as cendency in the United States. Of course they knew better, but they saw an opportunity in this to influence ig norant voters, and they made the most of it. The calamity howler has had his day, and he ought to give the country a chance. Perhaps those who looked for a speedy return to prosper ity after the repeal of the Sherman act and the modification of the McRinley tariff, which had jointly precipitated the panic in this country, underesti mated the bad tffects of those mis chievous measures and the extent of the readjustment necessary for the restoration of confidence ; but it is plain to every observer that at this time, as so many times before, the re cuperative powers of the people have manifested themselves more quickly, and that the conditions for industrial improvement have been better in the United States, since the enactment of the new tariff, than they have yet ap peared abroad. At the same time there can be no doubt that this re covery has been very much delayed by the agitation of a political campaign, and especially by the determined as saults of campaign oratois and the party organs upon public credit and confidence. It is true that business has been going on actively in spite of these drawbacks, but it has been hin dered by them. It is likely to go on all the faster now. and there will be no longer any pretext for partisan mis representation. Indeed it is not too much to pre dict that those who have boen crying calamity up to this point will now be gin to recognize the revival in business, and will take the credit of it to them selves, ascribing the improvement from this time on to Republican victories. This will be quite as illogical and ab surd as the former outcry, but it will at least be harmless. The Republi cans in Congress will have no oppor tunity to do anything to influence business, even if they had a policy, of which they have given no definite in dication as yet. But prosperity is coming all the same, and they will have no motive for obstructing it. We may thus rasonably hope that the trade revival which has already begun with such healthy strength will go on from this time with quickening activity, and it will make very little difference who may claim the credit of it. This country is abundantly able to take care of itself. All that it wants is for the politicians to give it a chance, and we may rejoice that the calamity-howler has had his day. 1 tinea. Novelties in Ladies' Skirts. The portion of the costume which seems to be the leading subject of en quiry at the prerent moment is the Skirt. While bodices and sleeves are still following to some extent the gen eral lines of the former season, skirts are the absorbing theme of interest in the new importations Great is their variety. The question of choice em braces an extensive held, both ot ex treme novelties and simple practical designs. Models to suit every taste and occasion are illustrated in the popular "McDowell Fashion Journals" which we have at hand. One finds, moreover, in these magazines in their coupon patterns, a feature exceedingly convenient for those who desire cheaper trade of patterrjs than the more expensive made up models. Among these coupon patterns are seen some artistic ami practical skirt designs filling verv appropriately a gen eral demand for the latter. "La Mode de Paris" and "Paris Album of Fash ion" cost $3 .50 per annum, or 35 cents per copy. "The French Dres maker" is $3.00 a year or 30 rents a copy. "La Mode" which is the best home magazine of its kind, costs only $1.50 per year, or 15 cents a copy. If you are unable to procure any of these journals from your newsdealer, do not takejany substitute from him, but apply by mail directly to Messrs McDowell & Co., 4 West 14th Street, Ne York.

THE CELLULOID COMPANY, 437-430 Broadway, Blew Yorka Power Asserted, When President Hippolyte of Haiti has occasion to rebuke his understrap pers he goes at them with his fists, if reports are correct, and thrashes them. A recent controversy between the President and his Secretary of War resulted in a fight in which the secretary got more war than he want ed. Newspaper reports from Haiti in commenting upon such radical arbi tration of national affairs say : 'The dusky Cabinet officer, despite his bellicose title, was no match for the Dictator, who whipped him so thoroughly that the Minister of War was confined to bed ; and there he still remains, a badly injured official." President Hippolyte is preparing to vigorously meet another rebellion in Haiti. The Moniteur, recently pub lished, quotes the President as having thus bitterly addressed his official and other friends assembled in the palace one Sunday in August : " Before I was elected chief of the State I had taken part in the admin istration of the affairs of my country. Everybody had recognized in me an honest man. To day some of these parties who aided my promotion ap pear to tax rre with being a thief. It is assuredly a glaring inconsistency on their part, because they knew me to be a thief, and, having selected me as chief of the nation, they are thieves themselves. The public tranquillity must be The vice president of the Pullman Car Company, Thomas H.

Laura M. will have a minate all those who would have the divorce if the Chicago divorce courts maintain their past record. Mr. and Mrs. Wickes were married March 12, 1871, in St. Louis. For the last ten years the family residence has been at No 3647 Grand Boulevard. Mrs. Wickes's bill, however, sets out that, owing to her husband's crnelty, she ceased to live with him on Aug. I5t 1803. The bill' charges Wickes with extreme and repeated cruelty, and with having beaten, struck, kicked and otherwise cruelly abused her, and has used vile, abusive and opprobrious language towards her. The value of Mr. Wickes's teal es tate holding is placed at $50,000. The complainant avers that he is abund antly able to support her and her children, she beini; destitute of means. The children are Mrs. Laura Annette Walker, twenty two years old ; Thomas II. Wickes, jr., nineteen, and Florence L. Wickes, sixteen, Mrs. Wickes asks for the custody of the minor children. Mr. Wickes is East on a business trip. George M. Pullman said : " I regret very much to htar that the domestic relations of Mr. Wickes are strained, Mrs. Wickes is one of the most charming women in South Side society and comes of a well-known St. Louis family. "The statement has been made that Mr. and Mrs. Wickes had not lived together for a year," said friend of Mrs. Wickes today. "That may be true, but I have called at the family residence many times and have never failed to find Mrs. Wickes at home and seemingly in the best of spirits. She always spoke of her hus band in the most affectionate manner, During the recent strike, , when the lifts of the Vice-President of the Pull man Company was believed to be in danger, his wife was almost daily to the office to see him and seemed to bs one of the most loving and devoted of wives folly to attack my government. My enemies may, perhaps, attempt my life. I shall not allow them to do me as they did President Carnot, because the aides de camp that are near me know every one of them what would be the penalty should they, through neglect, allow an individual to ap proach me without my giving them the orders to that effect. I hey may even, if they prefer, shoot at me with a gun. I announce it now. They have only to try." Prices and qualities tell $2.48 for all-wool blue and black Cheviot Boys' Suits.

See those Men's Overcoats that Gidding & Co. are selling at $7.50, Guaranteed pure wool and fast colors, The superstitious people ofmedi reval times had some very odd remedies based upon superstition. Among other absurdities of ignorance it was held that a chip from the gallows on which several persons had been hanged, worn in a bag around the neck, was a cure for ague. A halter by which some criminal had been hanged was bound around the temples as an infal lible cure for headache. Tumors of the glands are said to be "driven away " by nine blows of a dead man's hand, while the hand of a man who had been cut down from the gallows was said to work similar wonders. A ring made from a coffin was ap plied for the relief of cramps, which were also said to be dispelled by a rusty sword hanging over the patient's head. If any one had the toothache, he was told to go and drive nails into an oak tree, which, it is true, would not kill the pain, but was a sure pre ventive against a future attack. A stone with a hole in it, hung at the head of a bed, was sure to cure night mare, the cause of that evil being thought to be witches, who sat on the patient's chest; hence the pendant and stone was called a " hagstone." The " hagstone " was used generally as a safeguard against all the ills which are ascribed to impish inter ference. It is astorishing to find many such old practices the relics of superstition and ignorance still kept up by people who ought to know better. It is, for instande, a custom to this day for people of a certain class to steal meat from the butcher, rub it on warts and then bury it, the warts being expected to vanish as the process of decomposi tion sets in. Pricking a wart with a pin till the blood came and then throwing the pin away was also said to drive warts away, the warts being promptly transferred to the hands of whoever picked up the pin. A potato carried in the pocket is still recom mended for rheumatism, and hundreds of like practices are in vogue at the present day. St Louis Post Dis patch.

Bayard, United States Ambassador to England, being asked what effect the Czar s death will have on European politics, said : " forewarned has been forearmed with the countries of Europe in this case, I think. They knew that this great friend of peace was going, and were prepared for it. " A cartoon recently published in London Punch made a great impress ion uDon me., and mirrors the situa tion well. It represented Bcllona, the goddess of war, in a troubled sleep, reaching for her sword, that laid be side her bed. Her three docs of war, Fire, Pestilence and Famine, were just waking up. " Still, 1 have reason to believe and hope the doctrine of peace the late Czar strove so hard to establish will be followed out by his successor. I do not think his death will affect the relations now existing between France and Russia,' or between Russia and Germany. Nor will the sad occurrence result in any change in the Triple Alliance, in my opinion." Have you seen those Stiff Hats that Gidding & Co. arj selling at $1.50?
