Iudiaua Preachers After Ingersoll. Dr. J. P. D. John, former President of DePauw University, who, in his lecture, "Did God Make Man or Man Make God" replies to Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll, has punctured that gentleman somewhat, and Col. Ingersoll has gotten up a lecture in which her will reply to Dr. John. This is something no other lecturer was ever able to do—secure a reply from Ingersoll.

When in Columbus recently to lecture, Col. Ingersoll was met by a company of gentlemen who, on behalf of Rev.'Zach T. Sweeney, pastor of the Christian church in that city, challenged the doughty Colonel to debate the qaestiou as to the ''Human or Divine Origin of Christianity." Christianity would have an able advocate in Rev. Sweeney, as he is one of the ablest preachers in the U. S.

COLOES FOR WINTER.

DULL DARK GREEN AND DARK DULL RED WILL BE POPULAR.

A Dress Made of Brick Red Matelasse Crepon—Another of Rrocade Wool With

Brown and Black as the Sole Colors*. New Materials and Effective Trimmings.

[Special Correspondence. 1

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Dull dark green and dark dull red are among the prime favorites in tho new winter colors, but tho bright brick dust rod makes its presence seen at least, if not felt. There are dozens of different weaves and patterns in this rusty color. Alone it is undeniably ugly. Mingled with black it is almost pretty. There is a deep inatolasso wool crepon in this color, where the body of tho stuff is brick color and tho top of each little square hump is black, and there is a cheviot whero tho body is red and the top of each wall is furnished with a little curled fringe ill glossy black. It is striking and very odd and Lherefore^lesirable to those who like rumarkabl^v»things. A dress made of the matekisse had a full skirt, plain across tho front breadths. Tho waist was simply gathered to the black velvet belt. This lapped in a point. There was a round yoke of black velvet with a high turned down collar, and this had straps

over the shoulder and down the center of tho front. Two short straps were placed upon tho skirt, and there wore Louis XVI cuffs. And such a hat as the owner of this dress worel It was big and black and turned up at the sides, and on tho top were immense plumes and a very largo brick rod velvet bow.

There is a thick, hairy stuff called coto du eheval, or horses' ribs. Speaking of this reminds me to take exception to the majority of the French names given our best materials and colors. They search through tho vegetable and animal kingdoms and sometimes seize upon names which would in English sound ridiculous and often coarso and tho reverse of poetical. And we, poor fools, struggle with tho pronunciation of tho words, thinking they must be lovely because they are French. How does flea color, hogs' nose, horses' ribs and eggplant sound in English? Yet they represent some of the richest and most popular colors and textures of tho season. I could continue indefinitely finding fault, but will try to possess my soul in patience and go on being an idiot with the rest.

Let mc relieve my feelings by telling* about a truly elegant gown seen today. Tho material was brocado wool in an indistinct figure, with havana brown and black as solo colors. The skirt was plain, save for a handsomo passomenterio ornament down the left side ending in a fancy beaded tassel. The waist was plain all around. Across tho bust tho wool was slashed to allow threo folds of myrtle green velvet to pass under the strap thus formed. The stiff antl narrow belt was of tho samo velvet, and thero was a velvot frill at the waist line in form of a basque. Tho sleeves were well set out, with wide velvet caps sprung on tho shoulders. Tho collar of velvet had a festooning of jet beads, with now and then one gilt OIKS and on the shoulder there wero others, all ending in fancy tassels. This was a true gentlewoman's dress. The pretty wearer had a black felt "ilat" with four plumes and a draping of moss green velvet across the front.

Tho best houses show some beautiful designs in black woolen brocades. They make gowns fit to wear anywhere and are considered particularly suitable for church. They aro in regular damask patterns. For church tho bost dressers never wear anything but black, cither cudora, honrietta, faille, grosgrain or somo handsome quality of cashmere—that is to say, all except young girls.

Thore is a new thin velvet called variously benares, lavalliere or lahore. It is soft and llexiblo and decidedly oriental in coloring and design. This will be employed as blouse waists, fancy sleeves and insets in all places whero full effects are sought, but it is, naturally, only for home or indoor garments.

Among the nowest fancies of tho tailors who oater to the wealthy class is that of using regular military cloth, such as is in use for soldiers. There is a light blue, coarso and strong a dark blue, thick and handsomo, and a soft cadet gray. All these aro employed in making up the swellost costumes. This stuff takes military trimming well, and many of the suits have luff embroidery of gold or thread in mili-

tary pattorn. Oak loaves are favorite designs. Cord and piquets are also seen and braiding with narrow soutache or narrow flat metal braid, usually oalled gold lace on the men's military outfits. tpg

Braiding has always been a stylish" and effective trimming, however applied. I saw a very fine dress today made of gray olofch with a band of damson velvet six

inches wide around the skirt. Above that was a straight line of fawn castle braid, edged with a very narrow beading. The edges were cut in shallow scallops, but the braid extended below each point in a trefoil design. Tho sleeves were immense bishops, with cutis of velvet and braid. The plain snug waist was trimmed with tho braid, and the wide collar was trimmed to match. There was a very handsome buckle at tho closing of tho velvet belt. This made a most elegant costume.

OLIVE HARPER.

A MATTER OF TASTE.

Mr. Mnnkittrick Conies Across Another Peculiar Individual. [Special Correspondence.]

SUMMIT, N. J., Nov. 4.—I was out at Morristown two or three weeks ago to stay ovor Sunday with a friend who spends his winter there under tho impression that the air is quite equal to that of Colorado or the Austrian Alps. After we had reduced a good sized turkey to a skeleton and had lighted our cigars, in whose gently undulating ribbons of smoko we could discern pleasant oriental landscapes, my friend suggested that wo tako a walk, in order to digost the turkey and create a vacuum for tho terrapin that ho assured me would sweetly blossom forth in all its epicurean splendor at about 6:30.

It was a clear, crisp day—the kind of day whoso atmospheric stillness is such that you can distinctly note the plaintive warbling of a Berkshire pig, at a distance of half a mile, while ho stalks in martial prido about his pen and gazes fondly upon the amorous eyeball of the morn.

As wo walked along the main thoroughfare he pointod out many beautiful establishments and spoke of the amount of money spent on them annually. "But over thero in that olivo house with the vandyke brown trimmings," said my friend, pointing out the establishment with a wave of his cane, "is one of the most curious mortals I ever heard of." "In what way?" "Why, in a financial way." replied my friend with a smile. "If that man's head wero only hall as long as his feet, he would bo well off. In fact, he has about as much head for management as has a needle. He is always getting the financial cart beforo the horse. Think of a man being as great a fool as to lay out money for black swans when he has no pond on tho place!" "Does ho do that?" I asked. "Not exactly. I only made that remark to illustrate the eccentric character of his pecuniary understanding. Every one is laughing at him in Morristown. In fact, he is furnishing so much fun free of charge in this plaoe that he is interfering with" the prosperity of traveling jninstrel shows. Now, you W9uldjp't gQ without shoos to buy an orchestrion. Would you?" "Not much," I replied, ii I should go without shoes to buy Anything else, it would be to buy boots." "Then you are very different from Mr. "Whatshisnaiiie, for when he sots out to have anything ho will have it at any price, even if he has to put his pride in his pocket instead of his hand and got it on credit. Perhaps the cleverest way of setting forth his peculiarities in a few words is to say that he operates in a manner that is diametrically opposito to the usual method. Most men set aside a certain amount of money for food, clothing and other necessary things and purchase luxuries with what is left. Mr. Whatshisname, on the other hand, sets apart a certain amount for ornamental trees and peacocks and antique furniture and such things and tells his wife that they will have food and clothing out of what remains in tho treasury. So you see he makes the luxuries of lifo necessaries, and the necessaries of lifo luxuries. If that man wore wearing summer clothing under an ulster, and the north wind wero whistling 'Home, Sweet Home,' through the breaks in tho sides of his Oxford ties, and ho had $201) in iiis pocket, ho would purchase a cardigan jacket and a pair of cloth uppers tlnS, he might be able to buy a harpsichord for the hall and an articulated skeleton for tho library." "But his place looks pretty finely kept., doesn't it?" "It docs," replied my friend, with a smile, "and that is tho way it always looks. In the summer ho has tho grass cut twico a week and sprinkled with a hose every evening. He will have a man working on tho place every day and make him wait three months for his pay that he may invest his ready money in a tall clock. "At tho time that the butchers are driving him liko a mad bull to collect a little on account thoy find him having a fountain dug on tho front lawn or in tho act of adding a conservatory to the houso. It is more difficult to sell him a barrel of flour than it would bo to soli him a barrel of monkeys. I heard a sarcastic man onco allude to him as being one who would rather have a silver soup tureen and no soup than plenty of soup and no silver soup tureen." "He's a funny character," was all I could say. "He is," replied my friend, "and about a year ago ho mortgaged the place in order to supply it with antiquo furniture, and then he mortgaged tho furniture to got ancient armor for the hall. I never know him to pay a grocer willingly, for ho looks upon such a payment as money thrown away. Even if he felt disposed to pay such a bill his heart would fail him at the last moment, and ho would go and buy a lot of iron lions and reindeers to decorate the lawn."

And by this timo wo wero back and ready for the stewed terrapin. R. K. MUNKITTKICK.

Coin Made of Tree Gam.

The "mint officials" of the Malayan peninsula claim tho distinction of "coining" tho most unique piece of money now in use in tho world. This curious "coin" is simply a thin disk or wafor of hardened vogotablo gum, tho original sourco of supply being tho bola tree and a bluff of emery sand. Dozens of trusty officials aro constantly employed in collecting bola gum and sifting and pounding the sand which is to be used as "alloy." Tho coins so struck aro not only unique and curious on account of tho material used in their composition, but bocauso they havo tho least exchange value of any medium.

No other piece of "money" in existence can bo acquired with sucJi a small expenditure of timo or goods as tho bola gum "coin consequently such pieces aro valued vory lightly by those unlucky enough to come into possession of a few millions of such disks. It is almost impossible for an American, whoso ideas of minimum money value are associated with the cont piece, to frame a very definite conception of the small value of this standard of exchange. We consider the cent piece as being of no particular consequence, yot it could bo readily exohangod for 5,000 freshly minted bola gum coins and a $20 gold piece could be traded even for a whole shipload of such "mediums of barter and exohange."—St. Louis Republio.
