nBSSSflRHKaHMpMsSH IffW! i 15 FOIOISMD FADS. What the Women Talked About at the Congress in Washington, A COSTUME FOR BUSINESS, Bints of the Fashions Whicb Will Come in the Spring. BEWITCHING GOWKS DESIGSED. Some Xer Bridal Effects Introduced at a A"ew York Wedding. GOSSIP ABOUT GOODS AND CLOTHING The women who assembled at the recent National Convention In "Washington dis cussed, among Tarious other things, the evolution of a suit for a business woman which should be at once "tasteful, modest and sensible." The idea was original with Frances "Wil kin1, the President of the convention, who gave her plan for the costume in a beauti fully brief aud comprehensive way. "ilake at least a dozen good, big, strong pockets, ' and build the dress around them. "Woman," said Miss "Willard, "will never come into her kingdom at all until she comes physically. She has sacrificed her constitution and is living on her by Jaw. She has made of herself an hour glass whose sands pass quickly by." fcusan B. Anthony dear old Snsan who has lived so long with women, and who knows so much about them, when the sub ject was presented to her, very sagely said: "Why, you can't put the great army of business -women into uniform. Every one o- them would have her own idea of what the liked for herself, without regard to the Utile! s. "ow. to tell the truth." continued Susan, "I've never seen a dress-reform costume iu my lifi that was either very beautiful or ery tieeoniing, and I have noticed that a great many working women are just as fond of prttr and tsstelul things as their sisters of leisure. I have iurtber noticed that these are the women who get on the best, Susan B.'s Great SlistaLe. She is wic. is Susin. It does not help a woman one b:t to gn nud ask for a situation in a queer sown. Ahss Willard says that a woiniu is "swathed by her skirts, splintered Ly her stays and pinioned by her sleeve;," liiit she makes the mistake that so many re formers do; she takes away what we have ami givis us nothing instead, except poefc c'v, says a writer in the Xew York Conti nent. Tne divided skirt next came upfordis casMon, and every woman who had tried it admitted that it was the hardest thing to nalfc in she ever wore in her life. Bloomers were not to be thought of, for they were not onlv ugly, hut very conspicuous. Mrs. Senator Davis, who would be a true lundel for Diana, offers a costnme that seems to till the bill. Although not a business woman, she wears the proposed suit herself, nud her appearance would convert the most sceptical. The principal item in Mrs. Davis' costume is the underwear, which is of wool for winter and of silk or cotton in the i .imincr, as the wearer pleases and can LSurd. Now, this underwear consists of two pieces, a pair of stockings and a shirt Ihe blockings, however, are nothing more or let., than tights that fit the figure perlect ly and fasten about the waist. This does away with the dragging suspender or the tight garter, and gives perfect freedom of motion. Ihe shirt is also woven to lit. and ma ' be high or low necked, with or without sleeves, as the wearer pleases. Stage Accessories Utilized. Over the undergarments is a pairof trunks, exactly like those worn on the stage. They may be of silk, wool or linen; there's so little of them that the material doesn't matter. And then a corset. Mrs. Davis believes in the corset. It must not be too stiff or worn too tight, but it must be there, "because," she says, "it helps to keep the figure in shape, and no woman looks reallv trim with out it" Kow comes the skirt, just one the dress skirt not a sign ol any other, "for," says Sirs. Davis, "others are not necessary; they weigh a woman down, they spoil the con tour of the figure, they impede the walk, t.nd are altogether undenirable." A secsi c business woman would choose for her wo i uss light, soft wool, and have it lined 'ih eiIe. It makes the dress cost but a trifle more, and business women now adays can afford to dress well. The skirt must be perfectly plain and of perlcct lit, and just long enough to clear tne ground. A short skirt does very well for a woman who hrs pretty teet, but unfortun ately all women have not; so on the whole the long one is preferable, because in wet weather it is little trouble to hold up one skirt, especially if that one has no drapery. The remainder of the costume Includes a neat fitting coat and vest, a soft crowned English walking hat, a pair of shoes, which may be comfortable and sensible, and at the same time fit well and look pretty; a pair ol nicely fitting gloves and linen collars and cuffs. As this is the only bit ot linen in the vliole costume, the wearer has no excuse for having speck or spot upon it In the vest andj-cktt may be the dozen pockets pre scribed by Miss Willard, if the wearer wishes. Cost of the Ideal Salt The cost of this ideal suit is rather beyond the average working girl, but a dress of this description can be worn for a whole season, just as a man wears a suit of clothes. The vool tights cost 3 pair, cotton ones $1 50, andsilkones any price you chose to pay. The shiit in wool is $1 25. The trunks may be made in an evening and cost almost nothing. Corsets are of all prices, and shoes likewise; but the ideal shoe for this costume is ot kid, with medium sole and patent leather tip, and costs $6 50. Fortbe dress, four jards of double-width material is required, and the wise woman will buy either black cheviot or navy blue serge, wh ch fabrics cost SI 25 per yard. As everything depends upon the making of this grovn it is well to take it to a tailor, and there are several good tailors in New York who will make the suit and furnish the silk lining for $25. An English walking hat costs $5, and lasts forever. Thus, for $50, a woman may be thoroughly well dressed Jortbiee months, which isn't bad. The same idea may be followed out for evening costume. A dress worn at several Washington receptions this winter was made after this model. It was of lavender cashmere, embroidered with white daisies a perfect poem of a gown. Another was of white Bedford coral, trimmed with bands of sable, and its elegant simplicity attracted a deal of attention. Kate Field says that all dress reforms are of diabolical invention, and the woman who wants to talk about them is to her a thing of horror; but to the tailor-made skirt and tights she gives her hearty indorsement, and savs she means to adopt the costume herself1. HEW THIKKS FOB WOMEN. Bints or the Fashions Which Will Be In Vogue Next Spring. Given a strait skirt, a coat bodice and a flat bat, and you are dressed as the mode demands. The short basques are things of the past; they were so becoming and jaunty that it Is a thousand pities to part with them. For thin dresses, foulards and the like, a ruffle of lace falling from the waist is Used to give the coat effect Speaking of foulards, says a New York fashion writer, there was" a very pretty one n view at swell dressmakers the other day. It was in process of manufacture for a Fifth avenue dowager. The material had a black ground ami was scattered over with bunches of pale pink roses. The skirt was made with full plaiting at the back; the front was some what bouffant, with insertions of black lace put in points across the skirt Under the lace showed the dark-green silk underskirt The basqne had insertions of the lace and the full sleeves fell over a lace cuff. All the foulards are made up over plain silk skirts. ' At a tailor's 'yesterday, grievons to relate, there were walking dresses trailing at least four inches on the floor. One costume, par ticularly noted, hid just come over from the Paris house. One thing to be remembered in connection with this gown was that the sleeves were moderate in size. The material used for this dress was gray bison cloth; the front was slightly fulled, and showed small panels of moss-green velvet at either side. The bodice was pointed in front; coat shape at the back. It fastened under the arm, and showed an undervest of the velvet A nar row gold cord was used to border the bodice. The sleeves had three bias folds of velvet or, rather, the sleeve was slashed, showing the velvet. A Bewitching Gown Described. A terra-cotta gown was simply bewitch ing. It had a wide panel at one side, heavily braided with white and slate-colored mohair braid. The front drapery was slightly gath ered at one side, where "it joined the panel. Ihe waist was also much braided about the upper part, both back and front, with braid ing on the collar and on ihe sleeves above the wrist The skirt and basque were in one. A seal-brown walking costume was elaborately braided in black. Something entirely new is a three-quarter length coat of the Louis Qulnze style. It is made of cocoa-brown "Venetian cloth, with vest and cuffs of a lighter shade of the same material. Another novelty is a walking gown with coat bodice. Almond-colored and dahlia-faced cloths are used for this costume. The vest, collar and cuffs are prettily braided with fine tinsel cord. The girdle is braided to match. Borders of velvet about the hem of skirts are about four inches deep. The border may be straight and simply tnrnea under at the top, or sewn on under a row of narrow passe menterie, a small braided design or a group of straight rows of braiding. Much newer than this, however, is a scalloped border of velvet, straight at the lower edge, but cut out in rounded downward scallops along the top, and sewn on nnder braiding or passe menterie, or a similar kind of braid but deeper, and cut in sharp Vandyke points along the top. A Word of Warning. A fashion item tells me that the summer girl will wear a high starched collar this year. My advice to this fair maiden is, "Beware!' Hitherto you have done all things gracefully, but m the wearing of a high starched collar you may meet your Waterloo. No one has ever yet been able gracefully to wear a stiff collar in summer. The dude cannot do it, although he has de voted the better part of his time to making the effort The matron has failed; and so, I fear, must the summer girl. Let me be seecn of her, while there is yet time, to avoid this natural but highly dangerous ambition. A girl even a summer girl with a wilted collar is a quee l without a throne, a prophetess without honor in her own or any other country. A very good style of trimming for the edge of a cloth skirt consists ot a baud of fancy braid about three inches wide at the extreme edge, and above this a band of vel vet ot the same width. Plain rows of braiding form a very good trimming for the edge of a skirt, and i: carried out with plain black mohair or Russian braid, it is also a very cheap styl i of trimming. Metallic braids in gold, sil ver or bronze are often combined with the black braid, and have a very good effect when used sparingly, a very narrow me tallic braid being placed between two rows of wider black braid. All the rows of braid are sewn quite close together, and form a solid trimming abont four inches deep. A SWELL COOKING LESSON. One of London's Oddities Bow an iitlr. Dinner Is Prepared. A woman in London has a class of 100 cooks, and she gives whai she calls an "en tire dinner lesson." While the lesson is in progress the swell women come in and look on. The menu on a recent occasion began with a horz d'eeuvre, anchois a la Colmar, which looked very tempting, the little fish being curled round upon croutons of fried bread, garnished with crayfish cream and white and yolk of egg. The consomme a la Leopold was certainly the prettiest soup I ever saw, with little circles uf red, yellow and white floating in its clearness. These were made of eggs and cream and stamped out French gherkin. Next came fillets of salmon a la Commodore, a delicious looking dish, garnished with crayfish, button mush rooms and shredded gherkins. The hot entree was "petits pnulette a la St George," and the cold, "mauviettes a la Sotterviile," both of very elaborate and de tailed preparation. The releve was fowl with Bechamel sauce, accompanied by tomatoes stuffed with a puree ot potato sea soned with Parmesan cheese. The sorbet, flavored with Liquid Sunshine rum, was .served in ice-water cups of white crystal lized glass. The daintiest little vessels you can imagine, especially when filled with the pink sorbet After this came a brace of woodcock, and then a lobster salad wonder fully garnished and served with Mayon naise sauce. A delicious-looking vegetable entree was made of asparagus and artichoke bottoms. The two sweets were creams served with chocolate, custard and banana sauce, and "petites caisses a la Sultan," composed of. whipped cream, oranges, and pistachio gar nished with a sort of sublimized toffee. The savory "huitres a la bonne bouche" would make a capital supper-dish. The oysters are served on thin ronnda of fried bread, al lowed to grow cold, then masked with a puree made o! anchovy, oysters, and cray fish cream. On each round is placed a slen der slice ot lemon and then an oyster. BEAUTIFUL IN PHYSIQUE. Description of the Typical Daughter of Aristocratic England. To female anglomaniacs the following de scription of the typical English girl will be interesting, although perhaps dishearten ing, for who can hope to imitate it? It' is taken from an article going the rounds: "The aristocratic English girl has a face of remarkable shape. The better her posi tion, according to Burke's Peerage, the longer is her countenance. An expert might distinguish an Hon. Miss from Lady Mary, daughter of a 100 Earls, and Lady Mary again from ner Grace, by the simple process ol measurement Tne face is not oval, it is merely elongated, and the chin is apt to be pointed. The more marked this character istic in the individual, the more certainly is the hair pinned high on the head, tilting the stiff sailor hat down over the eyes and exaggerating the northeast to southwest diagonal. "In evening dress a bunch of plumes or a tall pin is thrust into the hair upon the very crown, producing the came effect The eyes are rather long and often, in propor tion, narrow, the neck extensive and made much of by the tight, high dress collar. "An English girl's shoulders are broad and square, arms long, waists long, general effect id the tailor gown angular, only par tially redeemed by the clear red and white complexion and general air of health and well-being. No other woman in Europe has her physique, but measured from Greek standards she is far from beautiful." A BSLDAL DEPASTURE. Some of the Novelties Introduced at a Recent New York Wedding. The bridal bouquets that were carried by the bride and the bridemaids at the Con-dert-ChoiseuI wedding says the New York TTorW, marked a distinct and bewilderingly ,SS lovely departure in the matter of these grace ful and decorative accompaniments of the wedding ceremony. The bride's bouquet which was of orange blossoms, was edged with pn'mt-lace handerchiels. The haud kcrcbiefs were cangbt at their centers and were what a dressmaker would call flounced from the stem of the bouquet to the edging. The stem was further treated with innumer able yards of narrow white ribbon, to that when the bouquet was held in the bride's hand the combination of ribbon, lace and orange blossoms was novel and effective in the extreme. To enforce this picturesque design Thorley supplied the bridemaids with bouquets of yellow acacias, and treated the stems with narrow ribbons of yellow, of course, in place of white, The bride maids were costumed in yellow, so that the entire effect was something to be remem bered. The use of narrow ribbon on a bouquet is entirely novel, and as something like 80 or 90 yards was used, it can easilybe concluded that there was no chance of miss ing the effect that was intended. LATEST FASHION NOVELTIES. Plaid ginghams will be made upon the bias. In a manner similar to the wool plaids of the winter. There are many brocaded ginghams plain violet, sky blue, homespun bine, pink or Sale olive grounds being strewn with flower alls. Many delicately tinted ginghams are mado with gay Boman stripes In a medley of many soft colors. The cottons next In popu larity to fine ginghams are the Madras oloths. A safe model for all these light goods is a straight skirt, bordered with a cluster of three or four narrow fron.frou ruffles, or with one wider rufflo and a long-walsted, round waist and moderately full sleeves. EoFT-FlNlsnED percales make charming dresses for children. Pure shades of rose pink, blue, lavender, char gray and dark royal blue are especially popular colors In all cotton goods. The combination of pate manve with rich dark green is extremely fashionable for even ing dresses, as is the equally effective mixture of manve with pale gold, straw or maize color. The new organdies are usually printed on dark or medium tinted gronnds, and are de signed to be made up over linings, and skirts of inexpensive silk in the color of the ground.' Oxlt very tall and slender figures can bear to have the skirt cut in half, as it were, by the long jacket and on short and stout figures the effect Is simply ridiculous. Corselets, of which there are a great va riety, though charming on an average well-proportioned figure, do not suit either the very slender or the very stout The fashionable combination of bine with bright buff, leather color and dark red should not be lost sight of, as costumes made In this way are very stylish. Very charming for evening wear are the pure and lustrous mohairs, in white, cream, lavender, mauve, gray, salmon, onyx, rose and water green. Figaro jackots, either plain or draped, are still very much worn. Bretelles of velvet or passementerie, or pointed plastrons, maybe added. Ax abnndanco of velvet ribbon. In fine rich colors, or in delicate "fade" tints, will be used auunaanuy on tnese dresses. BACK TO THE FATHEBXAND. Chief Elliot Starts Julia Stelner on Her Way to Germany. Julia Steiner, the 17-year-old German pauper girl about whom so much has been published, and who has been confined to the City Poor Farm, left Pittsburg last night for her home in Germany. The girl came to America on the steamship La Gascoigne, which arrived in New York on December 10, 1890. She came over as a third-class passenger, her lare having been paid by some friends in Germany. She came direct to Pittsburg, and found employment as a domestic in a Thirty-second ward lamily. Whila there it was known that she was soon to become a mother. As the girl was with out money and friends, the matter was re ported to the Department of Charities, who took charge of the case and sent the girl to the Farm. On February 26 last she gave birth to a child. Step were taken at once to have the girl sent back to Germany. Tickets were gotten for her and her child, and they left for New York last night and will leave New York for Germany on Wednesd y morning. The girl sai.i that she had been betrayed by a young man named Louis Weber at her home in Germany, and that she was induced to come to America with him. He came as far as Philadelphia with her and then dis appeared. It has been learned since that he is living at No. 710 South Front street, Philadelphia. No action will be taken against him in the matter, as it cannot, be proven that he brought the girl to this coun try, and she does not want to hold him re sponsible in any way. VIEWING THE ENGLISHMAN. Railroader Call at the Duqnesne Theater to See the Big Locomotive. A number of railroaders, engineers and firemen called at the Duquesne Theater yesterday afternoon and requested per mission to see the English locomotive, the "Marchioness of Stafford," which attain a speed of 60 miles an hour in the fourth act of the play. Mr. Graham and Mr. Reed, of Minnie Palmer'j company, obligingly granted the men permission to see the monster engine, and gave sue!, details as to its structure wbich were not apparent The engine and tender are 30 feet long, and in every respect similar to the "Wild Irish man" type of passenger locomotive on the London and Northwestern Bailway of England. The engine stands 11 W feet high, and is complete in every detail, including brass sand box, steam dome, burnished steel connecting and eccentric rods, valve gear, etc, and has the English half cab. The railroaders examined the engine very carefully and seemed glad of the opportunity of seeing an English engine. Minnie Palmer's most exciting scene is. in connec tion with this engine, which is engaged as a special to overtake the fugitive villain. Pleurisy pains, asthmatic, and all throat affections are soon relieved by that certain remedy for coughs and colds, Dr. Jayne's Expectorant. A WONDER OCT NOVEL OFFER.

TJwy Have Any Kumber of Schemes for the Columbian Exposition. ONE MAN CLAIMS AN EARLESS HOG Which He Most Earnestly Eecommente as a Sure Drawing Card. THE MIBrERIOUS DKEA1I OP A WOMAN Chicago, March 16. Many of the letters that come to the World's Fair officials are very funny, although they are intended to be serious. It is the earnestness and en thusiasm of the writers that gives their com munications a humorous aspect. Cranks and dreamers in every part of the country flood the mails with suggestions and attrac tive features of the Exposition, and ask the officials to indorse all sorts of wild and im aginary sohemes. Most of the writers have a wrong idea of what the Exposition will be. They evidently thins: it is intended to be a combination of dime museum and fool's par adise, a place for brute and human freaks and for all the abandoned inventions of a generation of cranks and lunatics. Every official of the Exposition has been bothered at one time or another by projec tors of someweird and crazy scheme Mayor Creiger gets more letters from cranks than any other director. People write to him when they are not able to get the address of any other official. The Mayor pulls a fool ish letter from his pocket at almost every meeting of the Grounds and Building Com mittee and turns it over to Secretary Saw yer to answer, for every communication, no matter how foolish, calls for a reply. Pres ident Gage and Vice President Bryan re ceive their share of letters from cranks. Sometimes it is difficult to draw the line be tween letters from fools and fetters from wise men, for wise men occasionally write foolish letters. Has a Hog to Show. No doubts, however, ore entertained le garding the mental condition of a man at Des Moines, la., who wants to sell Vice President Bryan a hog to exhibit at the fair. The hog has no ears, and what makes the animal more interesting is the fact that there is no place on his head where the ears ought to grow. Although the Iowa man has been told several times that the Exposition Company has no use for his earless hog, he is still working hard to convince the direc tors that the animal is just what they need to make the fair a big success. Jacob Mvers. of Fortune. Cal.. writes on iperfnmed note paper, in the upper lelthand corner of which is the cut ot a mammotn redwood tree towering erect A lot of ax- men have evidently been cutting industri ously at the tree several days, for a large part of its circumference has been hewn away, and the men are represented as sitting in rows on the half stump. Mr. Myers has an object in using tbat kind of paper. He wants to help build the high tower at Jack son Park. Nothing. Too High for Him. "It is not everybody that likes to go up so high," he writes, "but I never yet seen the place too high for me. Now I am here in the great red woods," he continues, "which you hear of, and it is no trick: at all for me to git on the top and cut if off and stand on it I have stood on the extreme top of a electric tower in tipton, cedar co iowa. the tower was 159 feet high, and I stood on a round inch rod with one foot This you can get proof of from Upton, iowa. i was a stranger thaire hut can find out it is so by asking the people of tipton If Jacob Myers done so. well that's all." Sometimes people who have odd dreams write to tbe directors and ask them to con vert into realities the fantastio things that flash across their minds in sleeping mo ments. These people, as a rule, belong to the class that does most of its thinking when asleep. Mrs. James Ellis, of 574 Carroll street Brooklyn, N. Y., sketched an odd looking flying machine iu one corner of a sheet of letter paper, and sent a strange letter with it. The flying machine was com posed of three parts first a big balloon, of ordinary design. Under that, and connected to it with ropes, was a second balloon, shaped like a cigarv From this a car for passengers was hung. In describing her design Mrs. Ellis says: She Has a Queer Balloon. "Please observe attentively that elegant drawing in tbe place where my coat of arms shonld be. Well, now, that is a very rude sketch of what I saw iu a dream the other night I dreamed that I was standing with a great crowd of people on the lake front, where that railroad now is, but it wasn't there, and various strange and wonderful buildings, representing the architecture of many a dead and gone civilization stood on the grounds Pharnab's palace, the Boman Coliseum, Aladdiu s Palace, the bpbinx, the Athenisum and many another were there,.to be gazer! at and wondered over, a fairyland of beauty. Over tbe lake this air ship was floating to and fro with the grace of a bird, obeying the will of its captain more quicklv than a yacht and moving as if it were a living' thing. Now, as my dream seems to point so clearly toward Chicago's Fair, and as novelties are sought for and ballooning is the fashion just now, I thought it pnly right that I should send you this suggestion. There is nothing par ticularly difficult about the construction of a double balloon like this, and it would be a great attraction if only it would act as I saw it, and I don't sec why it should not. The upper globe steadies the whole, while the Ioug one has a carrying force and cuts through the air, aided by an arrangement of broad paddle wheels at tbe sides of tbe car, and in front a wheel which paws the air out of the way and makes a vacuum, while behind is a sort of tail or rudder, like a double fan. Trnly, I think my ship would be as good as any one else's. And don't you think, if the funds could be raised, that some specimens of beautiful architecture, copied from ancient famous buildings, such as I dreamed of, could be built? Oi course, you need not build them if you don't want to. 1 only tell you what I dreamed." A Great Idea Sent In Confidence. George W. Chapman, M. D., of Cawker City, Kau., wrote to Mayor Cregierand told him in the strictest confidence that be bad a "great idea" for the fair, bnt was alraid to say anything about it, for fear some one would take advantage oi his suggestion. Before Mayor Cregier had a chance to reply George W. Chapman, M. D., sent another letter explaining his great idea. He said he had heard of a ''monolith ot granite being quarried in Maine 115 feet long by 10 feet wide. It weighs 850 tons," he added, "and I think the exposition company should get it In dressing the monolith off the chips should be saved and sold for 12 cents a pound." Then, in a burst of confidence, Dr. Chapman said "of course, I am a lun atic, but we are the people that move the world, and I have been collecting 25 years and have a large correspondence. As to jewelry, it might be simply a Chicago en terprise for the fair and your honor might lead the fashion." Joseph SmUh, of Yonkers, Westchester county, New York, has sent a letter in which he threatens to blow the entire exposition into Lake Michigan. He says that "Chicago cheated New York out of the exposition, bnt I will spoil it for you as soon as it com mences." He adds, "I hope you will not do much business with it" He continues, "as soon as your fair starts I will come over with my anarchist society and blow up your lair with dynamite trom one end to tbe other, and whenever we catch any man of your committee we will murder him, es pecially Mayor Cregier." The Birthplace of Mark Twain. Mark Twain was'.born at two different places, if the letters received from Harry A. Peirsal, of Monroe City, Mo., and Mrs. S. J. Perkins, of Benick, Bandolph county, are to be believed. Mr. Peirsal offers to sell to the directors the "old home" where Mark Twain first saw the light of day and trod TUESDAY. MARCH the threshold until about 20 years passed by. Mrs. Perkins also wants to sell Mark ) Twain's old home near Benick. She also has a treasure in the shape oi Andrew Jack son's snuffbox. "And how did I come Hi possession of it?" she asks. "The old Gen eral, in making his way from Tennessee to Washington, bad to travel In his own pri vate conveyance, and as my grandfather lived on the pike road leading trom Lexington to Paris and kept an inn, the old General always stopped over night with him, and they soon became good friends, as both were Democrats, and on that account he gave grandfather his snuff box, which still retains the perfume of the snuff he used." Another relic, quite as valuable, is offered by B. P. Sawyers, of Washiugton, D. C, in tbe shape of the gallows that John Brown and his associates "ware exicuted ou." Affidavits as, to the genuineness df this treasure are offered. John H. Pratt, of Kearney, Buffalo county, Neb., kindly offers to sell to the directory at ruinously low figures a copy of the Ul ster County Gazette, containing an account of the death of George Washington, and also "a supplement of the Chicago Herald, July 2, 1863, the wallpaper edition." Mr. Pratt was evidently very much agitated by the mere thought of parting with his price less treasures. As the Chicago Herald was not founded some years after 1863, his care lessness gives rise to the awful suspicion that perhaps, after all, he has not a genuine copy of either paper. An Eiffel Tower Bnilt of Wood. A cheerful Chicago contributor, who signs "Some Other Time" to his letters, wants to see an Eiffel tower bnilt of wood, and urges the local board to "make Mayor Cregier give them permission to put up the tower," Another Chicago man would like to see a big lighthouse in the lake, "illumi nated with natural gas burned iu burners five feet in diameter." He does not offer any suggestions as to where the natural gas may be secured. John Phelps Cowles, Jr., writing from Foochoo, China, makes abont the only sensible suggestion that the directors have received. He says: "Though time presses, cannot the millions to be spent in buildings be laid out on such designs as will perman ently serve, should the State or National Government have occasion to sit in a new capital?"

It Costs a Great Seal of Worry and Con siderable Casb. A SCHOOL F0U TtACniXG DEBUTANTES lCORItEKFOXDEKCX Or TUX DI8FXTCIT.I London, March 8. Any English or American woman who supposes that her so cial position is enhanced by being presented to Her Majesty is very badly and very sadly mistaken. An, English woman of birth, rank: and wealth goes to court as a matter of right (unless her reputation is tarnished), and becomes one of tbe entree circle. Women of ordinary wealth and position go once to satisfy their vanity and ambition, and then, discovering how little it all means to them, seldom, if ever, go again. To be presented at Buckingham Palace costs at least $250, and the return for the outlay is nothing more substantial than having one's name printed in the newspa per. It gives the presentee, whether male or female, no right to again appear at court, and it does not entail a single invitation to a function of royal, or even semi-royal state. With the few American ladies really at tached to the embassy it is, of course, neces sary for them to be presented, and equally, of course, do they receive invitations to balls and other court festivities; but with all the rest, English or foreign, tbe hedge dividing the upper class of society iu England from the middle class is alsolutely impenetrable, as far as the court is concerned. It Cost Nearly 8300. However, every woman in England who possibly can manage it gets presented, and it is no go arguing the matter with them, and the bill for husband or father to pay is usually like this: s. d. Gownandtrain J 0 0 Gloves and shoes 2 0 0 Feathers and fan 5 0 0 Bouquet 2 0 0 Carriage hire (special private brougham) 10 0 Lessons in etiquette 5 0 U Photographer 2 0 0 Sundries 10 0 Zsi 0 0 Eather a large sum of money ?290 for two hours' "wait in a cold carriage, two hours more crushed among a lot of jabbering women in a palace ante-chamber, and one minute of agony passed in groveling to a little fat old lady, who seems to be all diamonds and weariness, and in making a series of lowly reverences to a number of haughty women the Princesses standing with well elevated noses to the right ot majesty. Of course the country tquire's wife, the successful merchant's spouse, the lady of the Lord Mayor, the wives of the sheriffs, the visiting Americans, and even many ladies who really have reason to expect a footing at court have only vagne notions as to the way they should behave when "pre sented," and so a few highly-bred ladies of the'aristocracy, whose incomes have dis appeared, receive pupils in "deportment belore royalty." Deportment Before Royalty. A lady who embarks in this profession makes herself acquainted with tbe very last trifling alteration of presentation etiquette. She masters difficulties ol precedence, and she undertakes that even the most aboriginal settler's lady shall not do anything to shock royal eyes and nerves if the pupil will only carry her instructress' precepts into literal practice. It is not a large profession, but it has its recognized leaders, and the chief of these I sought out for a'brief chat, a day or so ago. "Now, madam," I began, to the grace-fully-mannered, dignified teacher, "do many ladies come to you to learn how to be pre sented?" - 'Yes," she answered, "a large number, for there are very lew ladies who like to trust themselves to going through so im portant a function as their presentation withont rehearsing it in every detail. Of course, a few very high-born ladies know tbe whole court routine by a kind of intui tion, and from having moved all their lives in tbat circle; but even among members of the best families, you would be astonished at the positively 'absurd ignorance which prevails. Ladles often come fo me and ask me if I can instruct them sufficiently in one lesson, and I always reply that I could tell them everything which it is necessary for them'to remember in a single visit, but I cannot possibly answer for the way in which they will carry it out in less than three or four. On an average, I should say, my course lasted over five lessons. Sometimes I go to tbeJadies' own houses, but more often they make up parties of six or seven, all of whom are going either as chaperones or for pre sentation, or simply to the "drawing room," and they come to me. A Gentle, Gliding Motion. "What is the first thing you teach them?" "How to walk. Among my foreign pu pils this is especially essential," for as a fact, very few women indeed know how to move in a room, and I keep them practising this till I deem it to be time to let them try the gliding, gentle movement, when tbe feet are never ranea irom tne gronna at an. u.ne reason that this is such an important point iu tbe teaching is that the fear of treading on the dresses of others is avoided, and the motion leltds itself well to the display of tbe long train. "I balance a small crown very lightly upon the head, and make the ladies walk and move about with it on. Thir teaches a good poise lor the head, and the weight ot jewels and the plumes and veil do not seem so oppressive and unusual." "How do you show them the actual pre sentation ceremonial?" "Well, you see," said Madam, pointing to her set of rooms, "I have arranged my apartments as nearly as possible on the model of the ante-room and presence cham ber of the court; my assistants take the parts oi tbe equerries and the Lord Cham berlain, to whom my pupils are taught to hand their cards in dne form, and to hear tbe names of both presenter and presentee called; while I stand in tbe place of Her Msjesty, and other assistants stand in the place of the other members of the royal family. How to Beceive a Boyal Kiss. When I am instructing a peeress I show her how to receive the Queen's kiss upou her brow or cheek, and a Commoner I teach how to take the Qneen's graciously extended hand and bend her lips to it. But, oh, the curtseyl There are ludies who do nut seem to have the slightest idea of what a curtsey is. They bend into angles; thv assume ex traordinary attitudes; they bow and they jerk and tney double themselves into every shape but the right one, and they have to be simply drilled into it untilthey get some thing like grace." Isthe bouquet a matter of difficulty?" "It is part of a difficult matter, namely, to teach the control by the loit hand of ft, the glove, the fan, and, to some extent, the train, so tbat the right hand shall be free. A few years ago the lnce handkerchief hud also to be held between the fingers, but now that may be put awuy anywhere. I fasten a train to" the lady's shoulder or waist, and put all these things into her hand, and make ber rehearse every step and movement ex actly as it happens at the "drawing room." "How do you find the American debu tante?" "Well, sdme .are very ready and elegant in their manners, but others are terribly gauche, and they generally have some ex traordinary preconceived ideas of what they think they ought to do, and it is very bard to get these out of their minds. A visiting American lady, not being a subject of the Queen, does nut do homage, tbat i, kiss the royal hand. Sbf only curtsies. If she raarrleran Englishman, however, she be comes officially 'a subject,' and acts accord ingly. In the case of the American Duchess of Marlborough, you will remember the Queen tissed her cheek, receiving her as an English peeress. She lost ber American nationality by her marriage." OVER WILDWOOD'S FIELD. WHAT SOME OF THE WELLS HAVE STARTED OUT TO ACCOMPLISH. The Incrence in Production Soring, tbe Past Week Placed at Over 3,000 Bar relsNo Well at McCurdy Doing Better Than 100 Barrels Dally. rSPCIAt. TELEQBAK TO THZ DISPATCH. 1 WlXDWOOD, March 16.

The production of the field has been increased during tbe past week from 7,500 barrols to 10. 000 barrels a day, which is accounted forbv the comitig in ot Bnnga No. 4, Kress 13, Kretzer No. 1 and the administration ot a liberal dose ot bteh explosive to No. 1, McGeogb six acres.

A report gained circula tion tbat tbe Bougnerty Hell had struck a rich pay and was flowing at an 80-barrel an hour gait Inquiry by The Dispatch scout re vealed an entirely different story, as tbe well Is not doing more than 100 barrels a day. Patter son 4 Jones' Nos. 3 and 5 are expected to And the sand Wednesday, but it will most likely re quire another day's drilling before tbe inter eating spot is tapped.

Copeland & Blair, and corclnded to see them. My resolution was the best I ever formed. "My symptoms at this time were dull pains in mv forehead, chest and limbs. My eyes were affected. There were roaring and buuing noises In my ears. My nostrils were stopped up at times. Iwas continually hawking to clear mv throat of mncon. I would become slightly dizzy upon stooping. The mucous droppinginto tbe throat affected my stomach. My appetite failed me. My sleep did me no good. I arose feeling tired and unrelresbed. My heart often beat rapidly, and the palpitation was followed by a faint feeling. "After being examined by the doctors and finding their charges so very reasonable.
