FREE TRADE TROUBLES. e Democratic organs have caught breath long enough to indulge In very abuse of Labor Commissioner Peck, w York, for the publication of his les 6howlng the prosperity of labor the yearl891. They produce In ro of his statistical facts a letter by him some months ago saying information was the opposite to ich he now produces, eck has prepared for this by stat be commenced this investigation belief that the McEnley act was us to the workingmen, and that he been convinced to the contrary Dy the returns to his bureau. The orotic organs must accept one or two of Peck. Either he Is an honest giving the figures as he finds them a sense of official integrity, or the machinery of the Hill State govern is manipulated to wreck Mr. Cleve oc. s fortunes. Either conclusion leaves emocracy in a cleft stick. Perhaps the Cleveland organs will bo rengthenedin taking the latter view by m the appearance of another report, this time from the New York Superintendent of Banking. . He produces a report show ing that savings bank deposits in New York have increased 585,000,000 within a year. Wb have yet to learn whether the Cleveland Democrats will insist on de nouncing this as a He, conceived In politi cal corruption and brought forth in party treachery. THE .WORK OF PUB1TICATION. The proposition for a local committee man, selected from the citizens of each ward, to co-operate with the city authori ties in prosecuting sanitary work is a good one. An energetio citizen should be se lected In every ward, conversant with all the slums and sinkholes and inspired by the determination to bring his district into a condition of perfect cleanliness. With such an organization the work of purification should be thoroughly done, and done quickly. The ability to bring Pittsburg into a condition of unexception able sanitation is 'Only a matter of how the work shall be done. If the determina tion Is so thorough that not a spot of filth shall be left in streets, alleys, courts, yards or cesspools, the means of actually doing it will not be found wanting. Let Pittsburg and Allegheny do this work as it should be done, and they need not fear cholera, typhoid fever, diph theria or smallpox. FREE TRADE WILDNESS. The vicissitudes of a free trade cam paign have led the Philadelphia Record to the arduous task of denying that the reci procity policy has Increased the sale of American products In Cuba. This is its singular way of arguing: "Does the Frets Imagine that the Cubans have in the past ten months consumed 252,600 barrels more of wheat flour and 359,640 bushels more of corn than in the 'ten months preceding reciprocity? Is it likely that the Cubans consumed 15,000,000 more pounds of lard or bacon in the last ten months than in the preceding ten months?" No one Imagines any such thing; but every well informed person knows that the former Spanish duties on Cuban im ports subjected these American products to heavy discriminating duties as com pared with the Spanish millers and trad ers. When American flour had to pay a duty of nearly 55 per barrel it is not strange that the Spanish millers had nearly a monopoly of the market The reci procity policy secured a heavy re duction of these duties, and Ameri can products have been largely sold In the Cuban markets. It is probably true that the cheapness resulting from the enlarged supply has considerably increased the total consumption of these staples in Cuba. But every one not phenomenally ignorant knows that the great cause of the increase of this trade was the reduction of the heavy duties obtained under the reciprocity provisions of theMcKInleyact In asserting that "not a bushel of wheat or barrel of flour more has been exported from the United States by virtue of the peddling policy of reciprocity" the Record displays either gross ignorance or deliber ate untruth. PBOGRESS OP PEOrrr-SHABLVG. Nicholas Paine Gilman, whose special study of profit-sharing has made him an authority on the subject, contributes an article to the Hew England Magazine showing the progress of that Industrial system. When he published his volume three years ago, he gave a list of 37 firms Ifnd business corporations practicing the system. Nine have abandoned it for various reasons, but he has in their place a list of 30 firms which have taken it up, and estimates that at least 100 in the country have it in operation. Mr. Gilman gives considerable space to the working of the system in the establishments of the Nelson Manufacturing Company, of St Louis, and the Page Belting Company, of Concord, N. H. The former, which comes nearest to the standard of the original French profit-sharing establishment, has paid those of its employes taking shares in its stock 72 per cent on their wages In six years. The Page company has had the plan in operation five years and has also shown very satisfactory results. These facts indicate fair progress for a system which contains a better promise of solving the labor problem than anyother. It accomplishes the same end as industrial co-operation, but by less radical means, and with less hazards. It identifies the interest of the employer and employed, encourages the operatives to become capi talists on a small scale, and makes them to no slight degree their own employers. On tbe other hand It, retains In the con cern the linn direction and promises it in creased returns by the greater and more direct interest of the workingmen in doing good work. The solution of wage conflicts and the rescue of the industrial system from prol etarianism lies in exactly this direction. There is a great future in store for profit sharing. THE DRAWBACK OF TBE FAIRS. With the fall the season of agricultural fairs comes in. These exhibitions of ag ricultural successes and tbe reunions of agricultural societies serve a distinct and Important purpose. They furnish tbe means both for agricultural progress and rural enjoyment at the season when the farmer's work being well finished he Is entitled to take a period of ease and recre ation. Yet there is one feature of them so liable to abuse that all concerned In them should be on their guard against it It is bardly necessary to say that this is the feature which has produced the old appellation "agricultural horse trots." The exhibition of speedy and well-trained horses Is a necessary part of every agri cultural fair; but the ease with which this is turned into horse races of the distinctly gambling type is the one case above all others that has damaged the usefulness of the exhibitions. Kingers, professional Jock eys, pool-selling and set-up races are bad enough on the race-tracks operated pro fessedly for the purposes of racing. Where they are made part and parcel of exhibitions of agricultural skill and given a free field for swindling the unwary they are ten times worse. Agricultural exhibitions should take pains to exclude gambling features. This can easily be done by confining the trials of speed to animals owned by farmers within tbe limits of the district for which tbe fair Is held, and rigidly excluding pro fessional jockeys and all gambling prac tices from their grounds. With the pro fessional horse race, the wheel of fortune and the thtmble-rieger all excluded from the autumn fairs the usefulness of these gatherings will be unalloyed. A COMBINATION QUARREL. The transcontinental combination is in hot water again. That organization of railway managers has been In hot water at intervals for years; and yet it has man aged to present as egregious an example of the prevalent methods for levying ex tortion on the public as can well be Imag ined. It-has for years been paying a sub sidy to the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany to hire It not to compete in order that the railroads may he left free to Im pose on transcontinental trafflo all that the freight will bear. The quarrel between these corporate bands Is mainly one over the division of the booty. Yet it is interesting and satis factory to learn that the force of compe tition on the free ocean makes itself felt Although tbe railroads pay the Paelfio Mail a round sum in order to buy it off from competition they are not able to choke off other competition. They have to meet the competition of the merchant's vessel line around Cape Horn, and that fact leads to tho dispute about the division of the spoils obtained from rates not sub ject to that competition. It is quite possible, though not likely, that the quarrel may break out into a rate war. If it does tbe transcontinental lines will cut each other's throats for the sole purpose each of forclngtbeother to accept its claims with regard to tbe distribution of the plunder. After they have by this means succeeded In establishing the com petition they will go to the next Congres sional or legislative committee and bold up this method of suppressing it as an example of tho awful effects of competi tion. In discussing the selection of a national flower a California botanist urges the col umbine's claim to the honor as having been named for Columbus. This is a lovely and almost ubiquitous national flower, but it was named from its likeness to a cluster of doves, from the Latin word "columba," and not after the discoverer of the new world. Vdjglnia hanged a desperado yesterday, but he Is said to have committed nearly a hundred murders before suffering the ex treme penalty of the law. These is no doubt that undue panto stricken terror is an Incentive to the ravages of cholera when once It has arrived. But it is just as true that any failure to use the most stringently rigid measures to exclude the disease from the country at a time of sorlons danger is nothing less than criminal folly. As to letter writing, Cleveland must draw tbe line somewhere, but his visible efforts in that direction have so far been conilned to his fishing tackle. All persons aware of public nuisances which are a menace to the city's health are requested to at once report the matter to the police. Anyone neglecting to do so is culpably disregarding the duties ot citizen ship. There is little to choose between Sulli van and Corbett. The one lias written an autobiography and tbe other is writing a Play. Cleveland is fortunate. There was no cholera scaro while he was President, and no strike with lawlessness at Buffalo while he was sheriff. His good fortune, like most of his achievements. Is of a negative nature If Sullivan lived in Venezuela he would almost have been justified in declaring him self dictator some time ago. Disestablishment again threatens tbe Church of England, and many of its best friends believe that even if its disruption shonld follow, the church would be a gainer by its separation from the State. Foreign immigration may at any time now become svnonymous with the importa tion cf foreign disease. President Harrison's retaliatory mes sage has begun to retaliate against the Cana dian toll discriminations, and it will con tinue so to do until Canada puts an end to the injustice. Politicians must be expecting a hard winter, this year if $be time taken lor sawing w$od be any criterion. W OME of the New York Democrats are so backward in coming forward that It might be well to change the name of the National Committee's office from headquarters to hindquarters. Boston's police force has a new recruit 6 feet 4 inches tail. He must be quite a taking officer. It is to be hoped that the present neces sity for cleaning up the city will never recur, and that its chronlo state hencefor ward will be one.of hygienic purity. The powerful scent of disinfectants makes the best assurance of local safety at this time. Sullivan and Corbett have not yet an nounced any intention of trying the fusion plan of settling their differences, and arbi tration has not been proposed so far. Atlantic liners are swift enough, but they can never cut the record of tbe Colum bus fleet. England has formally annexed the Gil bert Islands of tho Polynesia. It was prob ably done more from force of habit, and to keep her hand in than anything else. Uniformed clubs are at last preparing for the lall maneuvers. The Buffalo authorities have decided to cook Canadian mails. This is a very proper sanitary precaution and not at all to be re garded as a symptom of cannibalism. New Orleans must henceforth rank as the sportsman's Mecca. What time Chairman Harrity can spare from stirring up strife in tbe Democratic party be devotes to the neglect of his duties as Secretary of State. The health of all depends upon the care of each.

CAMPAIGN NEWS AND COMMENT. PROBABLY the most peculiar combina tion of this year of queer polltios is that whioh has Just been announced In South Dakota. There tho Daraocrats have agreed to support the' ticket of the' new party on condition that the "electors, If suooessful. shall oast their votes for Weaver forPresi dent, and Stevenson for Vioe President. On the tace of the returns this looks like & slap at Grover, but a little attentive examination shows the idea of South Dakota Democrats. They see that ir the People's party should seoure enougn votes to hold the balance of power In the electoral college, the choice of President would be thrown into tho House, and that of Vice President into the Senate. This would result in the naming of Cloveland, bnt what of Stevenson? For this reason the fusion Democrats of tho West are ready to trade votes for the Illinois candidate. In 18S9 the South Dakota Republicans had a majority of 80,000 over the Democrats, but In 1890 the vote stood: Republican, 34,187: Democratic, 18,481; Farmers' AUIanoo, 24,591, the RenubllcanB havlmr a nlurallty of 9.598. but being in a minority of about the same figure. The Legislature had an Allianco Demoeratlo majority and sent Kyle to the Senate. At a special election last fall to fill a vacancy caused by a death In Congress the Republicans had a plurality of only 3,027, the Democrats being the third party. This makes the present combination appear dangerous, but the Republicans express, confidence in a party revival whioh willln sure an old-time majority. One certain effect of fusion such as has been adorned In Kansas and South Dakota will be to decrease Cleveland's popular vote,. as mere will te practically no vote cast ior blm In theso states, the Democrats support ing the Weaver electors. Unless this condi tion Is offset by a reverse movement it will have an effect on the popular plurality as between Harrison and Cleveland. The latest name for a still hunt is a "gum-shoe campaign." Colonel W. A Tay lor, who heads the Demooratlo State tioket in Ohio, is the originator of the phrase, and that is the plan on which ho is conducting his canvass. These Is apparently no end to the vexa tious problems arising from tho adoption of the Baker ballot law, tbe decision of which Is retarded by the absence of Secretary Harrity from bis Harrisburg office. In re ferring to one point raised the Philadelphia Frets says: "Chairman Wright, of the Demo cratic State Committee, says that In Lehigh and Berks counties it has been the custom to print election tickets in German for tbe use of voters speaking and reading that language; that the County Commissioners are writing him to know if they may print the official ballots under the new law In German, and he says he doesn't know whether they may or not. Chairman Wright's work in this campaign is going to be made very trying from the fact that Boss Harrity, who answers all questions for him, Is compelled to spend the most of his time in Now York, where it is not handy to get at him hour by hour. After awhile Mr. Har rity will tell Mr. Wright, and Mr. Wright will tell his Democratic inquirers in Berks and Lehigh that it will not do to print the official ballot in German." South Carolina keeps up its record of secession. Apparently the great bnlk of the Democracy bas seceded to tho Farmers' Al liance, The Republicans of the Seventeenth Congressional district have placed in nomi nation Chandlee Eves, of Columbia county. Two years ago Wolverton, Democrat, had a majority of nearly 6,000 In the district, and he has been renominated. Mr. Eves is a practical farmer, though, and very popular among the agriculturists, which, with the fact that this is a Frestdental year, has aroused some hopes that he may defeat his opponent, who is a lawyer. Eves Is a lineal descendant of John Eves, one of the earliest settlers of that seotlon of the country, his first visit being made as early as 1769. They were driven ont by the Indians and again returned about 17S6, from which time tho beginning of the settlement of the valley may be dated. The descendants of this pro j enltor are.very n umerous and many of them have occupied positions of honor and trust. Mr. Eves is now serving his fourth consecu tive term as a member of the State Board of Agriculture from Columbia county. Accobdino to the Piibtle Ledger, "A light is suddenly thrown upon Senator Hill's absenteeism. He couldn't be in the Senate and work on his Labor Commissioner's tariff report at the same time." The campaign in Maine is now In full progress, the Republicans being especially active. There is not a single village in the State that will not De visited by tbe protec tion champions. Within the next ten days Senator Hale will make seven speeches, Senator Frye 12, Gen, Cleaves 11, Mr. Reed 12, Mr. Dingloy 5 (his district is perfectly safe), Mr. MUllken 8, Mr. Boutolle 3 (his dis. trlct is more than safe, the Democratic party having two candidates). Gen. R. E. Frazer, of Michigan, 11, closing in Reed's district; Gen. John L. Swift, of Massachusetts, 9; Hon. J. S. Fassett, of New York, 8; Gen. 8. L. Woodford, of New York, 2; Gov. McKinley 2 (Keed's district), Gen. Lucius Falrchlld, of Wisconsin," 4; Hon. J. C. Burrows,' of Michi gan, 1: Gen. George A Sheridan, of New York, 7. and Senator Allison 3. The only real ngiit is being made In the First district, where Mr. Ingraham, the Demooratlo candi date for Congress, is sneaking every even ing, and is making a point to follow Mr. Reed from town to town. Mr. Ingraham is not an orator, but he is a brilliant writer and a strong thinker, and Reed Is finding him a good opponent. The two were schoolboys together, and are still strong personal friends. Each day adds to the possibility that the Republican State Committee will be com pelled to provide the key for the deadlocks in several Pennsylvania districts. Fifteen candidates for a Congressional nomination is a district with an ad verse majority of 2,500 is an unusual feature, yet that is the situation which will confront the Democratic convention in the old Mc Kinley district, which meets at Alliance, O., next Tuesday. The latest addition to the list Is ex-State Senator Anthony Howells, of Masslllon. Howells chief legislative point was scored in the caucus which nominated Brlce for Senator. The late Congressman Warwick was posing as a candidate for the nomination until the proper time came to flop to Brice. In the caucus each candidate was allowed oulv one SDecch-makcr. After Brlce had been duly eulogized Howells. arose, apparently to name Warwick, Dut in stead read a message announcing his with drawal, and then made an address with another application of taffy for the millionaire rainbow-chaser. The large number of Domocratlo aspirants in this district is due to the fact that organized labor bas been for years literally hostile to T. R. Morgan, the opposition candidate. Demoorats depend qn this vote for possible success, and for this reason will probably nominate some one who Is strong with that element, like John MoBrlde or B. F. Wey breoht. The latter will be especially strong boforo the convention In case of a deadlock between the other candidates. Practically all the loaders of the party In Eastern Ohio wlU be present at Tuesday's conference. Democratic politicians are not follow ing rainbows io get the pot of gold at the end. They are endeavoring to raise tho gold in order to chase the rainbows. BTEVENSON AT BIS BIBTHPLACK. Be Is Greeted by 30,000 at tbe Spot Where He Was Horn. Hebndon, Kt., Sept. 2. Special.

'The President's order Instituting a 20-day quarant Ine is well enough as far as it goes, but the trouble is that it does not go far enough. It does not extend to vessels now on their way across the oooan, even though they be known to carry infectlon;'and it dbes not extend to cabin passengers, the only real distinction between whom and tho steerage passengers, Is that (ho former are rich enough to pay for superior accom modations. There is no excuse for discrim inating between rich and poor in this fashion. Tbe cholera makes no distinction of persons, and there shonld manifestly be no distinction In adopting measures to guard against tbe plague. Furthermore it is only too plain that quarantining is not an ade quate provision, since tbe separate States are permitted to control its operation inde pendently of. the Fedofal Government. If President Harrison bas the courage ,for which horecelves credit, he will not stop short with aotlng on-tbe Attorney General's milk-and-water opinion, but will take the bull by the horns immediately and Issue a proclamation, prohibiting the landing of any passengers, rich or poor, from infected countries. Should Be Absolute. Pittsburg Evening Press. Tbe action of tho President in establishing a quarantine of 20 days is a step in the right direction, but only a step. It will not prove effective lh keeping out tbe cholera, unless it does what the steamship companies say it will prevent immigration entirely. Some of the companies say that the holding of im migrants at quarantine for. 20 dnys would be so expensive that they could nns afford to carry them at all, and they will therefore stop that branch ot business during tbe pe riod of extended quarantine. It Is possible that tho President and bis Cabinet antici pated this when they decided upon their course. Tlioy could see that It would be a heavy expense to maintain hundreds of peo ple at quarantine for nearly three weeks and that 'the steamship companies would naturally discontinue the trafllo rather than contlnno It at a loss. It would have pleased the people of the United States more if the President bad placed an absolute embargo on immigration instead of temporizing with the evil. Ex tending tho period of quarantine does not prevent the cholera coming dangerously close to these shores, and if it be true that the germs can be carried a considerable dis tance on currents or air, there is nothing to prevent cholera ships miles from the main land communicating the pestilence to tbe people on shore. Absolute prohibition of Immigration Is what the country demands, and the compromise of a 20-day quarantine will be suroly condemned if the cholera ob tains a foothold in the United States.

So far as the inconvenience to commerce and immigrants is concerned, it will be very great, but the first law of nature is self preservation, and the publlo health, during a cholera epidemic, comes under that head.

DEATHS HEBE AND ELSEWHERE. Itev. James SI. Swan, Alliance. Rev. James M. Swan, a Methodist minis ter, well known in the Pittsburg Conference, was burled at Bellevue. His death occurred at Alli ance, Wednesday. In 1S31 he offered his services to bis country by enlisting in Company F, Thirteenth Ohio Volunteer Infautry. He served faithfully three years and about one month, and when hon orably discharged was an orderly sergeant la his regiment. He came home from tbe South with his health much Impaired and his right arm pierced by a rebel ball a memento of Atlanta. Alter teach ing school fo' a few years Mr. Swan felt called to the Christian ministry, and was admitted to the Pittsburg Conference. His service in this warfare Was as faithful as tbat In '61, as hundreds or Cun verts all over the territory under the Conference will testify.

EEM0YH THIS YICE C0NSDLI He Gave a Plague Ship a Clean Board of Healtb at Hamburg. New York Sun. On August 18, when the cholera-freighted Moravia sailed from Hamburg, tbe pesti lence bad already fastened itself upon that port. Its victims were dying every day. Its presence bad not been acknowledged officially by the municipal authorities. They were still talking "cholerine," and crimi nally disguising the truth about the situa tion to avert a little longer, if possible, the pecuniary loss to the Hamburg shipowners, merchants and tradesmen which wonld re sult from the exhibition of tbe yellow flag. Under these circumstances the Moravia sailed, carrying cases of cholera whicn de veloped fatally within 24 hours. And yet the infected ship sailed with a clean bill of health signed by Charles 11. liurke, tbe act ing Consul of the United States, certifying that in Hamburg and Its neighborhood there was at the time "no suspicion of plague, cholera, or epidemic disease whatsoever." For signing and impressing the consular seal upon this murderous lie.Burke received from the Hamburg-American Packet Com pany a fee of 10 marks, or $3 50. The case of this vlgllnnt and conscientious Vice Consul is commended to the immediate attention of his superiors in the Department of State at Washlnston. Upon arriving here the surgeon of the in fected ship informed Dr. Jenkins that the Immigrants in the Moravia's steerage "had all been crowded together In cars for several days, and had been traveling long distances before reaching Hamburg. Tbey were then hurried immediately on board tbe ship," added the surgeon, "so that they left port in a very weak and debilitated condition." When the surgeon of the Moravia made this astounding admission be was wholly unaware of the pledges and professions with which tbe representatives of bis company have been favoring the people of New York for some time post. As long ago as August 23 Mr. Emll L. Boas, tbe New York passenger agent of the Hamburg-American Packet Company, assured this cltv that at tbe other end of bis line the directors of the conVpany "had been using for several weeks extraordinary precautions to prevent the introduction of the cholera into American ports on the company's ships. All steerage passengers for Hamburg,'' be said, "are, and have been for three weeks, compelled to take a bath before embarking. The baggage is disinfected, and they are personally inspected by physicians em ployed by the line under tbe direction of the American Consul." The next day, on August 24, the same Mr. Boas informed a re porter that, in his opinion, there was "slight probability of tbe cholera breaking out on any of the fleet at sea after the thorough In spection and cleansing passengers and bag gage received at the ports of departure." I,n the present emergency the people of New York and of the United States can de pend for protection neither upon the effi ciency of Vice Consuls abroad nor upon tbe disinterested benevolence of the foreign owners of steamship lines engaged in tbe profitable business of transferring to our shores the population of southeastern Europe. While we are looking for the yel low flag they are looking chiefly for the yel low gold. Greed is in conspiracy with inef ficiency to send tho cholera hither. This country must rely wholly on its own re sources, act promptly and solely for its own interests, and tolerate no half-way measures for the protection of our own people's health and lives. WORSE BTJGBEAB3 THAN CH0LEBA. Keep Clean, Boll Your Water and Food and You Will lie Safe. The American Druggist. A great many people are giving themselves unnecessary tronble about cholera. The disease is only formidable when Inadequate means exists for grappling with It, and in this country wo are lully prepared for It. Deficient and Impure water supply Is the primary cause of Its origin in Asia. Dirt, ignorance and wartii weather are the prin cipal transmitters of tbe disease. In Madris and Calcutta the writer has seen a large mortality from cholera among the poorer classes where unsanitary conditions, pre vailed, while Immediately around them Europeans and natives wbo observed or dinary precautions In food and drink were wholly free from the disease. Boiling kills all oholera germs, and hence it is well daring a cholera epidemlo to boll all water and milk. Canned goods are, also, a safe diet at such time, if used at once on opening, owing to the boiling that they lecelye in process of canning, which effect-' ually sterilizes the contents. While It may be well enough to quarantine the low class of immigrants that have been reaching us from the infeoted districts in Russia and Germany, or shut tbem out alto gether for a time, there Is no sense In people being panic stricken here any more than they have been in France and Spain, where the cholera has prevailed more or less for several years. The visitation Is likely to be less serious irom toe met we are just enter ing the cooler months of the year, when cholera germs naturally aro comparatively harmless. Consumption, diphtheria and typhoid fever are all likely to slay thou sands while cholera Is slaying hundreds; but because we are familiar with these diseases we are not afraid of them. Hundreds of children die In this city every week from cholera infantum superinduced by bad milk, but little thouzht if given so it. No person need fear the cholera is he exercises ordinary care in diet, cleanliness and sanitary sur roundings. VICI0BIA AHD B0SEBEBBT. The Qaeen Did Not Ask My Lord to Acoept the Foreign Portfolio, London, Sept. 2. As Mr. Labonchere bas brought Lord Rosebery into his discussion, with, Mr. Gladstone to support his allega tions that tbe Queen lnterfored with Cab inet appointments, Lord Rosebery was asked to confirm or deny tho truth of the leports. Ho declined to grant a formal in terview on tho subject, bnt tbe Associated Press is authorized to state that the report that the Queen wrote to Lord Rosebery, urging him to accept the foreign ofSoe, is utterly unfounded, as no communication, dlroct or Indirect, passed between the Queon and Lord Rosebery prior to his receiving the seals of office. This explicit denial settles the worst in sinuation against the Qneen that blaming her for overruling Mr. Gladstone's foreign policy. Mr. Labouchere himself has gone to Italy, but, nevertheless, his clique at the National Liberal Club proclaim their de termination to raise In Parliament the ques tion of the Queen's right to influence the selection of Ministers, but they seem likely to be deprived all ground for protest.

Becoming Fashions Promised for Cold Weather Short Dresses and Plenty of Furs TV. C. T. U. Election A Wllklns- burg Wedding Gossip of Society. A LLsummer the women of Pittsburg have had but one band and no pockets. They. have worn the long-trained, tight-fitting skirt.ln which a pocket was an impossibility since no woman of taste will allow her pocket to bulge as It would with this skirt and tbe train required the use of one band perpetually to keep it out of the dust. The one free hand bas bad to "take care of one pocket-book, one umbrella, one card case, two gloves (It having been too warm to wear them in the usual manner), from four to six rings, two letters, several newspapers and magazines, one handkerchief, one shopping bag and a miscellaneous collection of dry goods parcels. What, wonder that she is tired and disgusted with the train, and Is ready to take her other hand into her confi dence. The train has been cut off and the dress is or a sensible walking length. The garment that Is to take the place of the everlasting "blazer" costume, whioh, no matter how sensible it is in design, has bo come nauseatlngly monotonous, since near ly every other woman you meet is wearing a blue blazer, is the "outing dress." It con sists of a round walking skirt and a double breasted coat, with n high collar fitting closely around the neck, nearly always giv ing a stvlUh effect. In some cases the coat is close-fitting to the figure, but, if desired, it can be worn loosely. The skirt has a pocket on the right side, cut well toward the front, and fitted in like a pocket in a man's vest. The colors of the outing dresses will be rloh blues and browns and wine. The hat to go with this costume will be on the Alpine order, trimmed profnselv with ostrich feathers. Talking about feathers, they will be nsed more this winter than they have been for many years, being seen on hats and gowns, mingled with jet trimmings and handsome velvet ribbons. The Pittsburg maiden will be a prettier winter girl than Bhe was a summer girl. Furs are becoming to all women, and tucy will be worn generally this winter. The hue of tbe fur will harmonize with the tone of tbe dress. Thus a brown gown will call for seal, mink, marten, etc. The girls will all look warm and comfortable, and hence be particularly attractive in the cold weather. Bterbitt Union, W. a T.
