THE reports from the Nicholson bili over the Stste show that a good many saloous have been closed up. The number has been estimated at 500 or onefifth of those in the Stete The Commissioners are also as a rule not allowing the special petition for pool tables or a lunch room in connection with a saloon. The law is producing the best effects in small towns aud country districts.

Miss Belle Thomas, of the Cook County Normal at Chicago, will be the speaker. She ranks high and her lectures no doubt will be both pr«.fl'»ble .and interesting. Her lectures are "Learning to Read" and

What Shall the Teacher Bring to the Child." Recently Trustee E. E. Stoner, of the city

schools,

and our e--teen:ed friend,

Winfield Scott Fr'es,. were visiting a few of the rooms in the .third ward school building. Both being old pedagogues and Mr. -fo-

f-r

a

trustee..they

were call-

upon for brief remarks, which were made in an apt and pleasing manner. Mr. S. however, was taking some credit to himself for the success of the schools, as two of the teachers, Mrs. Lizzie. Baldwin and Miss Minnie u-irt, were formerTpupils of qis. But Mr. Fries equaled that and claimed greater credit for himself in that line, us teachers from the lowest .to the highest grades had been pupils of his, viz: Miss L.zzie Harris, in charge of the primary department, and Prof. George S.Wilson, now the excellent superintendent of all the schools, and in addition, Maj E. Tbajer, *of the board of trustees, was his pupils. Scott was a iean but showed himself to be an oldtimer when he dated back to Prof.jjWilson's school days. Mr. gtoner, who is always equal to the emergency, came to the front vvith a claim that he had first been introduced to his wife while attending an institute there and wanted Mr. Fries to much that. Mr. Fries acknowledged himself vanquished, but claimed thatut was not his fault [that he had not UOUIH out ahead on the wife question, as he hadjalways been ready and will ing,and was still a "receptive candidate."

The December Cosmopolitan.

Two very important facts in connection with the new era of magazines are illustrated in ttie December Cosmopolitan. Its fiction is by Stevenson, the last story written before bis death, "Ouida," Sarah Grand, Zangwill, and the beginning of James Lane Allen's new Kentucky realistic story, "Butterflies." Probably no stronger array of fiction has ever been presented in any magazine—money could not buy better. Nor has any magazine ever had a larger number of really distinguished artists engaged upon the'illustration of a single number. The reader might be puzzled to know how such a number can be made at the price of ten cents. But the magazine itself affords the solution. It contains 139 pages of advertising, which, as the publishers announce, is from $4,000 to $8,000 more net cash advertising than was ever before printed in any magazine, of any kind, and in any country. It breaks the worlds record in the publishing business. Moreover, the cost of the artists and authors who appear in this number is divided amongst 400,000 copies, bringing the cost per copy proportionately low. The Cosmopolitan thinks that the ten cent magazine, bringing, as it does, the best in art and literature into ali classes, is an educational movement second in importance oly to that of the public schools.

YELLOW AND GREEN.

OLIVE HARPER SAYS THIS IS THE WORST COMBINATION OF COLOR.

A Sweet Tea Jacket—An Odd Plaid Salt. New Trimmings—Plaid Waists—Jet Is Used Everywhere and Is a Handsome

Trimming.

(Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Of all the combinations of color offered in any year since my recollection I think the yellow and green of this season is the very worst. Browne and yellows harmonize beautifully, and other colors find their opposites, but green and yellow! And yet wo see this union of colors but too often lately. I have seen things made of them in every possible variety. There are bonnets with feathers and rosettes bearing tho bilious combination, green dresses with yellow ribbons or gold colored trimmings and tea gowns and jackets until I feel half dis-

TEA JACKET.

posed to go to bed with a sick hendacho. I think green and yellow in combination tho most hideous invention of this decade, but there they are, and wo must make the best of it.

I was thinking about this, when a friend came in to show mo tho "sweetest tea jacket" that she had just bought. The jacket was of deep, rich hunter's green, with little detached arabesques of gold embroidery down each side. In the middle there was a double casjjadc of black lace, and a collar made of a doubled plaiting of the green silk, with laco on the outer odge. Directly on tho bust there was a flaring bow of bright yellow rihbon, with long onds. "What are you going to wear this with?" I asked. "Oh, everything! Green and yellow, you know, go with everything this winter." I groaned inwardly, but got a picture of the wonderful jacket, for perhaps I am prejudiced, and others might liko to follow the greenery yallery" fad.

I think that new fancy must have developed from tho plaids, for there are few plaids that havo no yellow in them soniewhoro, and as green' is the fashionable color of tho season the transition was easy. I saw an odd conceit in the way of a plaid suit today. The skirt was of a very large but very pleasing plaid made bias. Tho colors wore browns and reds, over a mottled ashen gray ground. Thrown over them all were lemon colored lines defining the pattern. The waist was snug and in basquo shape, of seal brown cheviot. Tho bottom was bound with Alaska sable. The basquo was belted in. Tho sleeves were bishop shape, with deep cuffs, and short Louis XYI gauntlet cuffs bordered with the fur. Across tho bust in form of a yoke was a tucked portion of tan colored broadcloth. The sleeves were of this also, and they were tucked at tho top. This made a most effective gown.

Plaid waists and sleeves are often employed to brighten up a dull gown, for women now are not afraid to wear brilliant colors. A dull greenish brown camel's hair gown of no particular color had a row of fancy bronze colored galloon sot all around the skirt, with two set ornaments on the front breadth. Tho waist was of clan plaid surah, with a good deal of pink in it beneath the mixed lines. There was a quaint plastron front ornamented with the galloon. This front, I should havo said, was of the camel's hair. It was cut out in front, and a vest-on of pale pink china crapo was folded diagonally across it. Tho stock was of the crapo and folded in the same way. Thero was a folded belt of pink ribbon. This dress was considered very swell, and it was pretty.

I notice that quite a number of pretty house gowns, when made of self colored goods, are handsomely braided with narrow soutache put on in set patterns. There are many places where one can have tho pattern stamped upon the goods, and ladies take pride in sewing this braid upon them. Emerald greon braid was used upon a black mohair brilliantine in a series of pyramidal designs. Brown braid upon a drab ground givos an excellent effect, less striking than the green, but more refined.

Chenille is beginning to make its presence known, and while it is not a durable trimming it is very rich and shows up beautifully. It is stiffened with fine wire

HOUSE GOWN AND WALKING COSTUME. and then braided into rather loose designs. It is very often seen upon the edges of felt hats, and in all sorts of colors. When used for trimming to gowns or capes, it is dark green, bluo, brown or black. The chenillo fringe always ends with a bead at the bottom.

Some of the short and demilong capes aro completely covered with flno soutache braiding, with bordering of black velvet applique embroidery. These capes are lined with handsome stuff and have fur or feather collars and borderings. The cloth capes only havo the soutache. There aro seal plush capes with a border of heavy black silk. This border is scalloped and tho edge sewed in with a row of flue jet beads. All over the silk border is then sewed an applique of black velvet, this edged in turn with fine beads. Some of the black velvet capes and mantles are almost covered with jet embroidery. Jet is noon everywhere, but it is used with disoriinination and fine taste.

ILIVE HARPER.

WORK OP CQHGRESS.

Nothing Can Be Done This Week in the House.

NO COMMITTEES APPOINTED.

In the Senate the AVeek Will lie Giv—i Up to Caucu.ssing by All Parties .""1 7o Legislation Is Looked For Until -ITI^r the Holidays —Salisbury's Notr Received,

but. Not Made Public. v. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The probabili­

ties are that the week in the senate this week will be given up larsr'ly to caucussing by all parties and that the senate daily sessions will be brio I: with little effort at legislation. Tho introduction of bills will be continued, though no work of consequence cnu be done until •the committees are filled. There is nothing on the calendar "except two speeches, one by Senator Morgan, announced for Monday on the Bering sea question, and one by Senator Cullom on the Monroe doctrine. It is understood that Senator Morgan will pay his respects to Ambassador Pauncefote and Lord Salisbury.

House Program.

The house program this week is a dreary waste. Until the committees are appointed tho machinery of the house is blocked and nothing can he done save by unanimous consent. Any resolution that might be presented—and it is in this form that the sensations that asritat^ tin4 lower branch of congress aro nsuallv sprung—would go down before a single obiection. For this reason no attempt will be made to do anything until Speaker Reed announces his committees which he now expects to have ready at the end of the week.

There probably will be but three brief sessions this week. When the house meets today an adjournment will hp taken until Wednesday or Thursday and from that date until Saturday, when the committees will be announced. The indications are that practically nothing can be done in the way of the consideration of actual legislation until after the holidays. However, the congressional hoppers are filling up preparatory to the grinding that will follow later. Last week several hundred bills were introduced and it is probable that fully as many will be started on their journey to the statute books this week.

As the president is absent on his hunting trip there is no probability that the reply of Lord Salisbury's letter to Secretary Olney's note regarding the Venezuelan boundai"# 1 impute, in which congress is so dneplv interested, will be sent to the house this v.-x\k.

There

may

be an attempt thrmvrh a resolution to procure from Secretary Olney the letter sent- by him to the Ensrlish premier last July and Lord Salisbury's reply received Saturdav, but should such, an attempt be. made it v.-ill unquestionably prove abortive.

The adoption of such a resolution would require unanimous consent and there is no doubt that some friend of the administration would object to it as lacking in deference to the president in his absence and the fact that Mr. Cleveland, in his message, advised congress that he would send the renlv to congress with a special message will doubtless be cited as an additional reason why it would not be good taste to make a demand on the executive department of the government until it is manifested, at least, a disinclination to send to congress the correspondence.

ENGLAND HASSPOKEN.

Her Reply on the Venezuelan Affair delivered to Olne.v, but Kept Secret. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The reply of

Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olney's note of instructions to Ambassador Bayard, relative to the Venezuelan boundary dispute, was delivered to Secretary Olney at noon Saturday. Donelson, the messenger of the British embassy, came early to the state department in the afternoon with a note from Sir Julian Pauncefote, asking for an appointment to see the secretary. This was arranged speedily for Saturday morning and Sir Julian presented the note in person to the secretary, the ambassador, himself, reading its contents to Mr. Olney as is the custom when important documents are presented.

All inquiry1"'as to the nature of the note failed to secure response from any official authority, and it probably will be preserved as an official secret, as far as the Washington authorities are concerned, until the president, upon his return, has had an opportunity to consider it and send it to congress, but it is known that it is on the same general lines indicated in the dispatches of this week.

Treasury Shortage Grows.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The treasury deficit was increased by $466,175.00, making it $2,334,585.72 for the first week of December, $18,203,913.40 for the fiscal year, and $130,065,464.62 for the 33 months and 7 days of the administration. There were no withdrawals of gold for export Saturday,' though losses of gold in the ordinary business transactions reduced the reserve by $52,100.86, making it $76,714,740.59. ~A BIG DEAL.

P. D. Armour to Move His Immense Purchase of Wheat to Chicago. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—P. D. Armour and

the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company have just made a big deal, which brings Mr. Armour's large spring wheat purchases before the public in all their immensity. The movement of the bulk of these large amounts of grain to Chicago will commence soon. Several hundred thousand bushels have already arrived by lake and rail, but now a contract lias been made by Mr. Armour and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy for the delivery of 6,500 cars.

A short time ago arrangements were made to bring 2,500 cars of northwestern wheat to Chicago, but now 4,000 more cars will be delivered here. This vast quantity of grain will go into the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy elevators of which Mr. Armour now has exclusive control. This grain has been quietly bought from time to time, mostly in the Minneapolis market.

Indications.

Partly cloudy and light flurries of snow northerly winds becoming variable.

GEORGE AUGU3TU3 SALA DEAD.

The World-Famous Journalist Passes Away in London. LONDON,

Dec. 9.—George Augustus

Sala, the distinguished journalist, is dead.

fA,

GEOV.0E AUGUSTUS SALA.

George Augustus Henry Sala, journalist and author, was born in London in 1828. In the early part of his career he became a contributor of articles to newspapers and magazines. He founded and was the first editor of The Temple Bar Magazine.

He visited the.United States in 1863 as special correspondent for The Daily Telegraph, aud in the latter part of the following year published the result of his observations under the title of "America in the Midst of War." Ho was war correspondent for the same paper in France in 1870, witnessing the fall of the empire in Paris on Sept. 4. He afterwards went to Rome to record the entry of the Italian army into that city, and in January, 1875, he visited Spain on the occasion of the entry of Alphonso XII. He visited Russia in December, 1876, as special correspondent of The Daily Telegraph, and subsequently traversed the empire to observe the mobilization of the Russian army, then in progress.

RECORD-BREAKING EVENT.

Great Preparations For "Governor Bradley's Inauguration Tomorrow. LOUISVILLE, Dec. 9.—Arrangement

for the inauguration of Governor-elecc Bradley at Frankfort Tuesday are rapidly nearing completion. It is the first opportunity the Republicans of this state ever had for the management of such an affair and the indications are that they intend to do the occasion full justice. The inauguration of a Republican governor in Kentucky is a recordbreaking event to start with and the preparations are sufficiently elaborate to be in keeping with the importance of the occasion. The parade will, of course, be the feature of the day.

General D. W. Lindsay has been chosen chief marshal aud in the procession will be organizations from Covington, Newport, Cincinnati, Louisville and other cities, including the famous Louisville Legion. The parade will occur shortly before noon and the inauguration ceremonies will follow. Colonel Bradley will reach Frankfort Tuesday morning on a special train and will, it' is expected, be greeted by one of the largest crowds ever gathered at the state capital.

RAILROAD IN CHINA

To He Built by a Syndicate of Americans. Brice, Kcid and Foster in It. PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., Dec. 9.—A

concession from the Chinese government to build a line of railroad from tidewater to Pekin has been obtained by a syndicate of American capitalists. The road will be about 200 miles long aud will tap a valuable coal mining district. The operation and construction of the road will be under the direct patronage of the Chinese government, but American capital and engineers aro the principal factors in the scheme. Among the men of prominence said to be in the deal are Senator Calvin S. Brice of Ohio, Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster, and others.

NO SINECURE HERE.

An Indian Selected to Carry the Mails From Juneau to the Yukon. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Dec. 9.—

James Jackson, an educated Indian, who is to personally carry the mails Irom Juneau to Fort Cudahy on the Yukon river, has arrived on the steamer Willapa. He came down to secure 20 or 30 strong dogs to pull the sleds across the mountains to the Canadian postoffice on Forty Mile Creek. This service is merely a private enterprise, being maintained by miners, who pay 50 cents for each letter. The Canadian government guarantees $350 for each of two round trips. This is reckoned as being a most hazardous journey. Several miners in the past years have lost their lives in trying to make it.

BROOKLYN MURDER MYSTERY

May Be Solved by the Arrest of Man and Wife For Flighting. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—The arrest of Jack

Quinn and wife here yesterday for fighting developed the possible solution of a murder mystery in Brooklyn. Both tho Quinns were drunk, and Mrs. Quinn, in an effort to induce the police to let her husband go, told them that her husband had committed a murder in Brooklyn several years ago. Before word could be secured from Brooklyn the Quinns were bailed out, but it is thought they will be rearrested. Telegrams from tho Brooklyn authorities tend to confirm the woman's statement.

Fitzsimmons Will Not Sign. HOUSTON, Dec. 9.—W. K. Wheelock

yesterday saw Martin Julian, manager of Robert Fitzsininions, and tried to induce him to sign articles for the meeting with Peter Malier. Julian positively refused to sign, objecting to the date, Feb. 14, and to the fiize of the purse hung up, wanting $20,000.

General Miles.

A member of various social organiza-^ tions, General Miles yet takes 'much more pleasure in home than in club life. He has the happy art of making strong and loyal friends. He has always enjoyed outdoor sports and athletic exercises and did not miss, you may be sure, being at the America's cup races in September. He is fond of horseback riding and appears to great advantage mounted, but has come to prefer the bicycle, and in his daily spins on the wheel his daughter or his son, a lad about to enter his teens, is often his companion. He likes to have pet animals about him, especially good dogs, "and his pets," as a friend once said, "are the pets of the whole family."

In manner the general is quiet and self controlled, but none the less affable and courteous, and it has been remarked that he never refuses to see anybody who calls upon him. Perhaps it is a systematic method in routine work, with a habit of beginning as soon as possible whatever has to be done, that gives him this abundant leisure for visitors. The members of his family have access to his library in his working hours and never seem to disturb him. He is free from affectations and presents no eccentricities or angularities with which to point a "character sketch. "—George E. Fond in McClure's Magazine.
