DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Kline's New County Scheme.
C. W. Kline, of Ilazleton, says the
NVilkes-Barre Leader , is the Republican
candidate for senator, simply and solely
to divide Luzerne county and set off the
lower end of it, together with a part of
Schuylkill, as a new county. But for
that he would never have thought of be
ing a candidate for the place, and he is
now using it to influence Democratic
votes in Hazleton, while his party
papers hereabouts are straining to hide
the ugly fact from their readers.
The citizens of Black Creek, Butler,
Foster, Freeland, Conyngham, Salem,
Denison, Nesoopeck, Sugar Loaf and the
other towns and townships who are to
be cut off from old Luzerne and put into
the new county can surely not support
such a man.
They would be taxed to build a new
court house and jail and to support a
whole host of Hazleton politicians in fat
offices and would not have even the re
motest voice in the selection of them.
Hon. J. Ridgway Wright, the Demo
cratic candidate, is against the new
county. He represents the element that
is proud of old Luzerne as it is, and do
not mean that it shall be sliced up for
the benefit of hungry Hazleton politi
cians and speculators in town lots, if
they can help it; who believe that a
county with seperate orphans' court,
with three law judges, with the best
financial standing of any county in the
state, with comparatively low taxes and
fairly smooth-working institutions all
round, is good enough county to stick to. I
THOSE in the large cities who bet on
elections find it impossible to get even
money on Cleveland. Odds must be
given or there is 110 bet. In Philadel
phia the pools are running SIOO to SBO
on Grover, while in New York it is hard
to place money at SIOO to S7O on Cleve
land or SIOO to SSO that the Democrats
carry New York. These bets, of course,
are not going to decide the election, but
they are very significant straws as to
how the wind is blowing.
STEVENSON'S letter accepting the nomi
nation for vice president is a strong
document, and confirms the belief of the
party that, should he be called to fill
Grover'a chair, the country will have a
man there, like the head of the ticket,
who can he trusted safely with the reins
of government. He deals with the is
sues of the campaign in a style that
marks him a coming leader of Demo
cracy.
WHEN the Philadelphia Press and the
.Inquirer put Republican strongholds like
Nebraska and Kansas in the doubtful
column you can depend that they have
little hope of carrying them. If there
was the slightest indication they would
go for Harrison, Republicans would be
claiming them by majorities of 25,000 or
50,000. But rather than concede them
to the People's party they class them as
"doubtful."
THE Democratic county ticket is gain
ing strength daily. The nominees are
men who deserve the undivided support
of the party, and unless all indications
fail they will get it.
CHAUNCKY M. DEPEW bad much to I
say the other night on the pauperizing
influence of free trade. In 1842, when
the British protective tariff was in full
operation, the population of Kngland
and Wales was 10,180,320, and the num
ber of paupers on the poor rolls was
1,429,089. In 1891 the population had
increased to 29,001,018, and the number
of paupers had decreased to 780,457.
These figures speak volumes in favor of
the change in the economic policy of
Great Britain. While the longest hours
for work and the lowest wages are to he
found in the protectionist countries of
Continental Europe, the shortest hours,
the highest wages and the cheapest food
exist in Free Trade England.— liecord.

WHAT WILL YOU PREPARE FOP
SCHOOL CHILDREN'S LUNCHEONS?
A Girl Who Takes ExorcUe—Marvelous
Garments on the Stage—Hotel Chaper
ons—What Our Women Are Doing in
Public Affairs—Home and Mother.
The reassembling of schools through
out the country brings up anew the per
plexing question of the children's lunch
eon. The writer once read a treatise on
the "child's lunch basket," with recipes
for preparing food for it. The food was
most elaborate confections, which would
take time, strength and money to evolve
quite beyond the average house mother,
and the article was laid down with a
sigh that its promising title offered so
little practical help. Lunch baskets are
not so common these days as they used
to be, and it is the luncheon served at
home which now creates the dilemma.
As a rule children reach the house
after the morning's session at school in
a state of starvation; anything that is
ready is greedily eaten. It should be
therefore an easy matter to servo whole
some food, since the sauce of a good
appetite is so sure to be present, al
though a swull daughter of eight did
say the other day, "I wish wholesome
things were as good as good things." It
is the care given to many simple dishes
which makes them good as well as
wholesome. Boiled rice for example is
either very good and much liked by
children, or it is an uneatable, sticky,
flavorless mass that nobody welcomes, j
A teacupful of rice, carefully looked I
over and put 011 in cold water and al
lowed to boil until every kernel is sep
arate, but tender, is an excellent lunch
eon dish for children, served hot with
consomme. Salt the rice as the water
comes to the boil.
The consomme is easily prepared with
beef extract and hot water and adds a
reliable flavor. Wliat is left of the rice
can be put away while warm in small
cups and served the next day 011 a small
platter with stewed prunes poured
around the little pyramids, or a tea
spoonful of jam 011 each one and eaten
with rich milk. Tomato toast, which is
tomatoes stewed down and poured over
small squares of toast, is liked by most
children. Spaghetti or macaroni boiled
twenty minutes in salted water and
eaten with gravy, some warmed over
clear soup, or the beef extract again
another dish that never goes begging.—
Philadelphia Press.
A Girl Who Take* Exercise.
There is nothing like healthy exercise
to take the jaundice out of a woman's
skin and hang out the red streamers of
health in her cheeks. Boxing builds a
woman up, rounds her arms, shapes up
her shoulders and gives her a more grace
ful carriage. It also makes lier more
supple, confers 011 lier that lissom grace
of which the American rhymesters rave.
But a woman who boxes should always
be careful to protect her breast with a
good thick pad. A woman cannot stand
much of a thump in the chest. When
women overcome their natural timid
ity—when they learn that a biff 011 the
nose with a soft glove is not necessarily
fatal—they make good boxers. They are
very quick, have a great deal of tact
and will stand considerable thumping
when once warmed to the work.
My wife is quite handy with the mitts
and 1 have a nineteen-year-old daughter
that could whip a carload of dudes.
She has practiced until she has become
an expert striker straight from the
shoulder and that with the force of a
pile driver. An athletic combination
visited our town recently (we live in
Cedar Rapids) and I took my daughter
to see the show. As we walked home
she expressed the opinion that she could
knock out the star performer and I re
solved to give her an opportunity. I in
vited him to dinner the next day and
took care to have several friends present
to enjoy the sport. My daughter dis
cussed boxing with our pugilistic guest
—a well known welter weight, whose
reputation I will not mar—and lie offered
to give her a lesson. The gloves were
brought out and he proceeded with the
lesson.
He did not proceed far, however, until
he found it necessary to crawl out from
under the piano. In the next bout she
broke his guard, got his head in chancery
and wound up by sending him crashing
through the glass door of a bookcase.
No, I don't subsidize a policeman to
guard my house while I am out on the
road.—lnterview in St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Marvelous Garments on ilie Stage.
Mrs. Langtry and Miss Marie Linden
divide the honors in the new play with
which the Haymarket opened its doors.
Mrs. Langtry, as an irresistible belle
dame, wears some marvelous dresses.
As three of these are evening costumes,
the artist has had great opportunities.
A ball gown of buttercup satin has a
train of enormous length, edged with
soft, fluffy chenille. Upon the front
and side widths are worked what look
like harps of silver, intwined about
their strings with jeweled blossoms.
The diamonds worn with this dress are
of wondrous splendor, and include a
diadem which completely encircles the
i head, and a riviere around the throat,
j besides stars and brooches galore; but a
j bird of paradise worn as an epaulet will
I scarcely please the Bel borne society.
1 Another garment scarcely less rich is
of pale pink satin, each seam bound
with gold. Over this is thrown a pretty
little pink cape with a deep collar of
; blue fox. But the most marvelous gown
is reserved for the fourth act, and con
-1 sists of a tablier and bib of pink china
crape thickly set with silver spangles
and worn over a petticoat and bodice of
ivory satin. The fashioning of this
i dress is very complicated and hints at a
revival of the polonaise style of yore.
A little picnicking frock of white silk
muslin flounced with violets and trimmed
with knots of green velvet is quite as be
coming to the actress as the most sump
tuous creations and looks girlishly fas
' cinating in a foulard with a Swiss
belt of heliotrope silk and lace and some j
quaint little shoulder straps which stu
dents of dress will remark. Miss Lin
den's gowns include a becoming dinner |
costume of sky blue brocade and a white j
garment for the fourth act, which rather ,
suggests an Opheliaesque termination to
the heroine's griefs.—Pall Mall Gazette. 1
Hotel ChitperoiiH.
The coming winter is to decide the
question of a chaperon—whether such a j
pleasing acquisition will become gen- I
eral or be confined to one or two largo j
and exclusive hotels? The experiment
was tried last winter by a big hotel on j
Fifth avenue, with more or less pro
nounced success. The object was to
have on hand at all hours a pleasant
obliging woman to give information to
women guests and to act as guide when
desired. This was doubtless a relief to
the desk clerk, for it must be confessed
some women are very fond of asking
questions—almost as much so as the
small boy. It must also be a welcome
and agreeable feature to a woman visit
ing this country alone for the first time, I
or in company with a daughter or friend j
equally ignorant of the city, to meet at ;
once on the parlor floor an intelligent I
person of their own sex ready to assist 1
them to lie comfortable in every way '
possible. The homesick feeling, whicl. ■
was threateningly near, might he thus i
entirely dispelled.
It is the hotel chaperon's place to give j
suggestions concerning stores, directions j
to objects of interest and interesting .
facts concerning customs which seem
strange to those from other lands. She '
is known as a professional chaperon, it I
being understood that she receives no
salary from the hotel, but is permitted
to fix her own rates with the party who
employs her services. If the chaperon
speaks French or German her position is
all the more assured. She must have a
pleasant address, must converse well
and should know considerable local
history. She must possess health and
strength, as her day will often begin us
early as 8 o'clock and may not terminate
until after the theater, to which she has
escorted a party.—Brooklyn Eagle.
TI> Women's Relief Corps at Washington.
During the national G. A. R. encamp
ment the Women's Relief corps met in the
New York Avenue church. The report
of President Sue Pike Sanders showed
that during'the year $34,138 had been
turned over to posts; cash for relie".
$61,468; relief other than money, $38,941;
balance in the relief funds of corps, $77,-
517; general fund, $122,535. The assets
showed a decrease since the date of the ,
last report of nearly 50 per cent.
Miss Clara Barton welcomed the con- |
vention to the place prepared by the citi- j
zens' committee. A vote of thanks was i
given Miss Barton for her excellent serv
ices during the past year.
A committee from the G. A. R. ex
tended the greeting of the national en
campment and its appreciation of the
work of the auxiliary corps. The na
tional president presented each comrade
with a badge of the order—a red and
white rose, the national color of the W.
R. C.

ed the national president with a silver

The National Association of the Ladies
Aid to the Sons of Veterans met Thurs '
day and completed the work left un
finished at its convention held in Helena,
Hon., last August. Resolutions of greet
ing to the Grand Army and to the
Daughters of Veterans were agreed to.
and the association adjourned to meet in
Cincinnati during the encampment there 1

A Clever Boston Woman.
The governor has appointed Miss
Katharine E. Conway, of the Boston
Pilot, to the prison commission, to sue- j
ceed Miss Emma F. Cary, who resigns j
on account of ill health. Miss Conway I
is somewhat over thirty years old, and I
began in newspaper work when she was |
fifteen. In 1883 the late John Boyle j
O'Reilly engaged her services on The j
Pilot, and he always valued them high- i
ly, 011 one occasion averring that she
had "the heart of a woman and the j
brain of a man." As a matter of fact ,
wo should say Miss Conway's brains aro i
as womanly as her heart: they are cer- ;
tainly very good brains in the lines in j
which she has heretofore employed '
them—in editorial writing and verses. |
She is a great favorite with her fellow >
workers, both men and women. What i
may be her qualifications for work 011 1
the prison commission we do not know,
probably she has not had much experi
ence among the criminal classes, but in
capacity she should be well fitted.—
Springfield Republican.
Matching the Prayer lluok.
If a man has any doubts as to the friv
olty of fashion among a certain class of
women in this country all he has to do
to dissipate that doubt is to go into some
<>f the shops where he has a woman ac
quaintance who will tell him the truth
about her sex. Such a man was found,
and this is what he had to say;
"She"—by she he meant the dress
maker who told him —"said that the
latest thing was to have the gown, ho- I
siery, corsets, gloves, parasol, etc., match 1
the binding on the prayer book. Fact! j
She told me the names of a swell set on
the South Side (wasn't it the West Side?)
j who brought their prayer books to the'
shop and wanted their outfits made of j
material that would match the binding
of the books."
This is not hard to believe when one
remembers that there have been women
who called for hooks of a binding to
; match some particular article in their
home.—Chicago Tribune.
Pictorial Needlework.
An ambitious piece of needlework de
; signed for the World's fair is a copy of a
j portion of William Blake's engraving, ,
j " When the Morning Stars Sang Together
' and All the Sons of God Shouted for Jov."
I This needle painting, which is executed
on a gray linen canvas about 5 by 7 feet,
represents the figures of fouryouug boys
with faces and arms upraised in praise,
standing against a starry background.
At their feet there is a scroll of clouds.
Tho winged figures are each about two
i feet high and are worked in flesh tints.
' Tho background, which is of deep blue,
I is set with golden stars. The figures
are so modeled and the light and shade
. so skillfully managed that the arms and
legs give an impression of roundness.
Tho features and tinting of the face and
| lips make one believe that paints were
: ased in producing them. The picture
Is the work of the leisure hours of two

Women Drummer* in Europe.
Women drummers have appeared in
Europe, and while not very numerous
those that are known are conspicuous
i for their ability and success. A young
' Swedish woman travels for a Scandi
| navian firm wf machinists. She travels
j all over Europe, and expects to extend
i her territory. She recently arrived in
London direct from Moscow, and was
I then expecting to start for Melbourne,
I all in the line of her business. One Lon
don manufacturing firm employs sev
eral wotaan commercial travelers, and j
1 several makers of dress goods have at i
i least one each. They find a woman's !
| taste of great value in this especial line, j
; and it is said would engage more women I
j to travel if they could find them with the
l necessary business capacity, good ap
pearance, good manners and good phy
sique.—London Letter.
A lluiny Day Dress.
! There is one new fashion that every
' I girl, whether she be rich or poor, should
j adopt, and that is a rainy day dress,
i i The short skirt is faced with light india
i rubber cloth, and is to be worn with
i knickerbockers and leggings. Thepetti
! coat and skirt itself may both Ix 3 sewed
: to the same band, or, as some wear them
i now, the upper skirt is lined, and tho
i lining is left loose at the bottom and
> hemmed. This affords the appearance
and protection of two skirts, when there
is really only one, but it is considered
quite permissible now, especially for
"bad going" in the country, to wear the
■ one skirt with gaiters and knickerbock
; ers.—New York Tribune.
Wyoming Women.
I In answer to the query, "What are
; i the Wyoming women like anyway?"
I Senator Carey paid the following com
pliment to the women of his state:
J Observe the best, the most progress
j ive, intelligent women of the east, and
i you will see just such women as our state
I is filled with. They have lost none of
i their womanliness by having the right
I to express their opinion by the ballot.
1 I cannot understand why men will in
' trust the care of their homes and the
i training of their children to a woman,
i and yet say she would not know how t. •
j use the ballot, and would not use it if
; she hud the legal right.
What Woman Suffrage Means.
Let no man or woman be mistaken as
I to what this movement for woman's
I suffrage really means. Wo none of us
! want to turn the world upside down, or
to convert women into men. Wo want
women, on the contrary, above all things
| to continue womanly—womanly in tho
j highest arid best sense—and to bring
; their true woman's influence on behalf
I of whatsoever things are true, honest
I just, pure, lovely and of good report to
I bear upon conduct of public affairs.—
I Mrs. Millicent Garrett Fawcett.
Women'* Hoots.
| Among new boots the smartest is the
heavy calf Blucher, laced, which will be
I worn by every fashionably right minded
woman with her tailor gown when she
walks. These boots must be blacked
I like a man's, so the day of French dress
ing is over. For rainy days, oddly
; enough, russet leather shoes are cou
| sidered the proper choice. They have
pointed toes and common sense flat heels.
—Exchange.
| Felt bonnets will have an unprece-
I dented reign. Next in favor will be
! those of velvet. A favorite model for
j the latter is shaped like a half handker
| chief, usually lined with a contrasting
! color, the point resting on the hair in
front, the corners turned up and fas
j tened on top of tho crown with a pom
pon, a bow or a bird.
Miss Lillian C. Rogers, who has been
for seven years an attache of the office
in which two of her sisters are also em
ployed, has been offered the place of dep
-1 uty clerk of the United States circuit
court for New England, to which a sal
ary of $3,000 attaches, but she declines
cn the ground that she may not be ca-
I pable of filling it.
1 Says a woman: "Last winter when I
i went to Bermuda I found a few yards of
j challie which I had in my trunk as an
intended wrapper a perfect boon on the
voyage. I was dreadfully seasick all
tho way, but this hastily improvised
portiere gave me air and privacy and
i really made tho trip tolerable."
A pretty and useful gift to a mother
is a linen lap pad, for use when bathing

i not too fine, twenty-four inches square,
lined with white eider down flannel or

cotton tacked to it.
