Him Coy had charge of the party of members of the Indianapolis council which went to Washington to inspect the workings of the street railways of that city. Coy is a schemer who knows no such words ns fail or modesty.

Several senators and representatives in congress from the south went to A1 exandria, yesterday, to take part in the memorial services for Jeff Davis in prefer ence to attending the exercises ut the capital in commemoration of the first in auguration of Washington as president of the United States. It would be fitting proceeding in congress to-day pass a most liberal pension measure.

In the investigation of the dressed beef business by the senate committee it was shown that the Chicago big four con spired to drive a Washington dealer out of business by refusing to sell him meat The local manager for Nelson Morris ad mitted that he had instructions not sell meat to this dealer at less than cents per pound above the regular market rates. The Chicago combine is trying enter the Terre Haute market but it to be hoped that it will resort to no

measures in doing so.

Senator Turpie failed to startle the senate or the country with his speech on trusts. Much had been predicted for him as a senatorial orator by his Indiana friends who for many years have been declaring that he is a great statesman and an eloquent speaker. There has been a vogue notion there was hidden ability somewhere in him that could be displayed only in the United States sen ate. He seized upon a popular question and talked like a demagogue. The senators apparently appreciated the fact that he was talking for buncombe. When he began speaking ho had two auditors and closed with but sis.

EFFECT OF THE JEf DAViS DISPLAY. Most of the inlluential Democratic newspapers in the North are trying to forestall the injurious political effect on their party of the remarkable display in the South of sympathy for the cause of the confederacy. The first day or two after the death of Davis there was a general recognition of the ainoerity of the grief of the southern people over the personal loss though the d9ad man had been pervereley stubborn in refusing to accept the changed situation in the government which he and they had misguidedly sought to disrupt.-Since then it has become more and more apparent that the lamentation, loud and ostentatious, was quite as much for the lost cause. The predominance of the rebel Hug, the effort to inculcate the doc trines of the dead man in the minds of the young and the flat statementmont uiade everywhere that his theory of government would yet prevail, have aroused the northern Democrats to the serious effect of it all. In New Orleans 20,000 school children were marched past the bier, (wrapped in the confederate flag,) nud told that

Davis was the greatest

man that America ever produced. The Chicago Herald is one of the newspapers, which, seeing the danger, vigorously endeavors to check the effect in the north of these hings. It says:

Jefferson Davis himself chose to play the part or a "martyr," ami the only logical course for everybody else was to let the role be carried to the end. llad lie accepted the results of the war in Kood faith and participated in the amnesty that w.'is Treely given, the situation would have been different. Remaining until his death a man without a country, spurning for effect the clemency of the government, and seeking the continuing hostilities of his former enemies, Mr. Davis' friends can ask nothing for his memory klndc-r than oblivion

WHAT SHALL I GIVE HIM

to

The leading Christmas question, What shall we make for the gentlemen? is somewhat less involved now that it is a whim to fit out bachelor apartments and offices with dainty and luxurious ap purtenancee, and the smart girl with deft fingers who possesses a nice boy cousin or man friend or something bet ter, and, as she says, lovelier still can fashion gifts for him riched by subtle suggestions of her own personality and artistic skill that will be sure to please it she remember this one principle, that the beauty of an article is not an excuse for its existence to a man unless it be convenience and comfort demand it. He doesn't care for neckties on his cologne bottle or sashes on his chairs or for a pretty litter of dainty trifles whose mission to him is clouded with much uncertainty, and his soul doesn't stand still for a joy at sight of a lace bureau cover, but he does like silver backs to his brushes, soft cushions for his couch, and convenient recepta cles for his belongings.

If he smokes, don't give him another match-safe or cigar holder to add to his collection, but make him, instead, a smoking pillow of softest down, large and generous, and fashion it of snowy gray-blue plush in delicious lights and shadows, with an all-over design of darker smoke color appliquedon with gold thread, and somewhere twine in let tera of gold, saying: "My clouds all other clouds dispel. He'll think nice things of you as the faint sweet fragrance of the perfume you mu6t. not to forget to scatter in the lin ing floats about him. To be sure it won'i last long—the perfume, I mean, or the thoughts either, for that matter—but th9 pillow itself will not spoil with use but grow richer in color like a meerschaum.

If you want to decorate his favorite rocker do not tie it up in a scarf of embroidered beauty and utterly depraved instincts, which is never where it belongs but make a big, fat, down cushion for the seat and sweet smelling pillow for the back, and then let your soul revel in ribbons if you want to, as you tie it firmly in place. Let the material be serviceable rather than too exquisity. A very pretty covering is of goldeu brown or yellow corn

Screens are sometimes vary accept-a ble for office use", or in sleeping apart ments to conceal some necessary but scarcely ornamental part ot the furnish ing. A very handsome c-ffice screen made entriely by a woman, carving and all, is of Russia leather and matting a Bhade lighter than the leather. The matting has a painted decoration of woodbine and berries in shades of crim son, and the leather haB a peculiar con ventional design wrought in brass-headed nails of different sizes, the whols being very substantial and business-like in ap pearance.

Etching portfolios a yard long and more than half as wide preserve the precious prints a connoisseur loves to gather but hardly knows what to do with. They may be more or less elaborately embroidered on the outside, but the prettiest ones, ns well as the most serviceable, are the so-called tea-gown satteene, with an all-over design of bright colors, and are always lined with the finest, sofest white silk, with white ribbon etraps to hold them in place. Flexible book covers of embossed leather or silken envelopes daintily embroidered to conceal the unsightly paper novel cr magazine, are quite acceptable to the average teathetic young man and there are tasty gold embroidered bottle covers of chamois leather that somehow redeem the most ordinary brandy flask from vulgarity' and the old .tobacco pouches and shaving cases in new and pleasing designs.

Some ingeniou» women in Bjaton are making very unique gifts of inlaid wood in the shape of bill cases, writing cases and blotters, and a case for the magazines of the month, with a movable cover that admits the whole year's numbers All three articles are being made by the women at the art-rooms and in the exchange, and one gallant gentleman down town furnished his entire office with the work of woman's hands from these depots.

However, we are not all cunning in the use of the chisel and brush and needle, but there is one perpetual, all-the-year-round Christmas gift that every mother's daughter can make for her best man if 6he can handle a pen, and that is an original caleudar. By this is not meant one in which the sentiments are all original, but rother that a suitable quota tion be written for each day in the year, together with the date, on a sheet of p*per slightly longer than it is wide. When the whole 365 are completed it is taken to the bookbinder, and gilded at the edges like the ordinary calender, and fastened, in the lower right-hand corner of a square of bristol board. The board has a painted decoration of a flight of swallows through a gray shadowy baokground or a conventional scythe on a triangle of flowers. All the holidays, festivals and anniversaries must have their appropriate sentiment*, and subtle flattery is conveyed by remembering and quoting largely from the authors most admired by a friend for whom the calender is written, and who may think of you for an instant before he twists the little sheet he tears off every morning into a cigar lighter or buries it in the oblivion of the waet-e basket.—[St. Louis Globe-Democrat

WOMEN VOTERS IN BOSTON. ... Six Thousand or Tliem Try the Australian

Ballot System.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. BOSTON, December 11.—To-day nearly

six thousand women of Boston tried the Australian ballot. They could vote only for members of the school board, but they did this easily and in one case effectively. Last year the vote of the women was more thBn seventeen thousand, "'due to excitement over* the religious question. The voting this year was mainly in the aristocratic wards. There was a woman in nearly every polling place -ready to give voters of her sex any needed points before they passed within the rail. Once within the rail no one is allowed to speak to them or see how they vote. In one of the precincts of Ward 11, one woman, with a small round-faced baby in her arms, asked for a ballot and then started to step up to the shelf to mark it. One of the election officers saw the act and a look of inquiry came over his face. If that infant remained in the woman's arms there would be a violation of the law, for it says no one shall be permitted to sea how a voter marks his (or her) ballot. Though the infant was unconscious, the election clerk was conscientious, and the woman had to relinquish possession of the child temporarily. A kind citizen outside the rail took the baby and dandled it while the mother finished marking her ballot. Then she put her vote in the box, took possession of her infant and went her way.

On November 9'h he was paid $40 53 and his attorneys at Quincy HO. Comrade Wilson knows nothing of his certificate and so of course cannot draw his pension which he needs.

RAILROAD NEWS NOTES

The Big Four yesterday received fourteen more of the new cars contracted for from the oar works.

A new switch is being built to the E. A T. H. tracks at Sullivan to accommodate the coal cars coming in off the I..& I. s. c„

Messrs. Hill, Elliott and Darlow "of the Vandalia, returned to St. Louis last evening after an inspection trip over the divisions.

The officials ot the Mackey lines 6ay that the deal through which the Mackey people were to secure control of the Chicago Eastern Illinois has fallen through.

Orders were issued yesterday to the effect that until further notice the forces in the erecting, maohine and boiler shopa would work ten hours per day, instead of nine, as ut present.

Charles Smith, a carpenter in the O. .% M. shops at Washington, had his arm crushed from the hand to the elbow Tuesday morning. He was workiDg up a car with a "jack" when the "jick" broke and let tha^cardown on his arm.

The proposition to'donate $10,000 to the Wabash railway company in consideration of the company making connection with their main line in Logansport, Ind., was carried by almost a unanimous vote, there being less than one hundred votes in the negative.

Eogines Nos. Ill and 117, the ones that came together at Dooley Tuesday morning, were seut to the setting-up shop yesterday morning. The damage to No. 117 was light and the repairs will not consume much time, but the No. Ill, which is the lighter engine, received the brunt of the shock and will be rebuilt nearly anew. Many curiously-inclined persons visited the shop yesterday and inspected the engines.

Indianapolis Journal: Said a retired railroad man yesterday: "In looking over the railroad systems of the central states there iB no system which seems fuller of promise than the Vandalia. Its present volume ot business is large for its mileage, with each year it increases in its volume, and the coming year bids fair to be more profitable than any former year. Its relations with most connections are friendly, the road has a good reputation for safety and speed, and all extensions and new connections it forms prove valuable. Through its relations with the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, which were arranged in 1S87, it hp.3 profited and is doing a good deal of business to the I southeast through such connection.

This year, through making a friendly troffic cgreement with the Terre Haute & Peoria, it has profited beyond expectations, and the coming year it will opan its extension into northern Michigan, which promisee to bring the Terre Haute and Logansport division to the front, as it will open up a heavy lumber trcQio, and will, in time, open a market for coal to be found on the Vandalia lines. In the 6ummer time the through travel to northern pleasure resorts will give hand some returns for the passenger depart raeht."

A Cnr Famine.

KASSAS CITY, MO., Docember 10. Such extraordinary demands have been made upon the railroads during the past week to move the crop3 of the South west that a car famine is imminent. Thii morning seven hundred cars were waiton the eida tracks in this city, either to be sent East or unloaded. jth the elevator men and track jobbers ar« un able to handle their business for lack of accommodation. One cause of the local blockale is claimed to be the delay occasioned by the enforcement of the new grain inspection law The famine of cars extends throughout Kansas and the railroad commissioners of that state are in ra oeipt of scores of complaints from farm ere and grain shippers who cannot ob tain accommodation for their products. The railroad men say the car famine idue to the enormous crops, which ex ceed the carrying capacity of the roads. They all agree ~that never before has there been such a demand for freight cace, and mouy of the roads have even resorted to boarding up fiat and coal cars for the shipment of grain.
