HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Carter & Son. HOPE INDIANA g-- 11 ' ■ - - The declaration of Explorer Stanley that he will never again visit America has caused no wild flurry in the stock markets or elicited anything like a united protest from the public. Stanley owes a great deal to this country, but his presence would not lesson the obligation. Societies would be doing more for humanity if they would pass by dancing girls who earn $40 or $50 a week and have all that money can get for them, and do a little more for the children who are obliged to work in factories for $2 or $3 a week and have barely the necessities of life. In an esteemed contemporary appears an article with these headlines: “Will Have to Rest—Unsatisfactory State of Gladstone's Health.” On the same page, however, appears another article about Gladstone, the headlines of which announce that “The Statesman Is as Vigorous as a Four-Year-Old.” Perhaps he is too vigorous and has to rest in order to get rid of some of his vigor. In regard to the proposition that some means shall be taken to prevent Anarchists from becoming citizens of this country, we say that, under our present laws, an alien Anarchist cannot become an American citizen without committing perjury; for every man, when he takes out papers of naturalization, must take an oath that ho will support the Government, Constitutian, and laws of the United States. As the fundamental principle of Anarchism is opposition to all government and law, no Anarchist can take this oath without swearing falsely. In no event can an Anarchist take a legal oath anyhow, for the Anarchist believes neither in the God by whom he swears nor in the State to which he takes an oath. Therefore no immigrant who admits that he is an Anarchist can lawfully become an American citizen. Last week the Duke of Beaufort, nobleman of better Plantagenet blood than the Queen herself, stood up in a London church with the Earl of Orkney, also nobleman of very good blood, and gave way to him in mar - riage one Connie Gilchrist, variety hall dancer. By this performance Connie ceases to be a familiar character of the green rooms and takes rank in the peerage. The peerage must be getting a little mixed in composition. This duches.% of Orkney by the sweet and commendable rules of British society may walk seventeen paces in front of the count ess of Warwick and thirty-five paces in front of the Countess Spencer. The countess would not think of recognizing Connie but for her sudden exaltation to rank. Now she is their superior and all because a young earl took a fancy to attending variety performances. The world has changed since the days of Jeames Yellowplush. The exalted spirit—thank fortune —escaped seeing such hill breeding as this hin a hear!. In Persia and other Mohammedan countries in which the cholera has been prevalent the worshippers of of Allah have striven to avert its ravages by prayer, by holy ceremonies, and by impressive services in the mosques. In Russia the authorities of the Greek Church are now trying to stop the progress of the cholera by religious processions and by commanding the faithful to prostrate themselves many times daily before the sacred images. Russia, however, is in advance of Persia. The Russian Government, while encouraging the use of religious preventives, is at the same time encouraging the use of disinfectants. In the United States pious people pray for safety when threatened with danger, but our health authorities give their whole time to the application of those sanitary laws which, under Heaven’s blessings, are useful for the protection of the community

; THE LADIES.

One particularly pretty as well as peculiarly characteristic fancy of the summer mode is the fichu bodice, which appears in its various phases in all sorts of dress conditions, from the simple morning frock of cotton for country wear to the more elaborate creations for dinners and balls. A pretty illustration of the fichu for day wear is copied from a gown of pale blue moire, striped with dull, dark green lines. The belt and cuffs to the sleeves, made in the new French fashion, with only a frill below the elbow, are of deep - apple green velvet, and*the fichu, which is the chief feature of the dress, is of pale blue tissue so fine and thin that the whole width of the material folds softly about the neck in a narrow band, crosses in front, passes under the arms, and pins at the back. It is frilled all the way round with fine lace to match that used in the ruffles on the sleeves. For evening wear

the fichu forms a cape-like fullness, falling back from the low neck slightly fulled on the shoulders, and tied in a knot in front, where the long ends hang down to the bottom of the dress. Such a fichu of blue gauze, embroidered by hand with pink roses and gold leaves, was worn the other day by a stately maid in a trailing white gown with no other decoration than this, Women suffragists have more ardent supporters of their cause among men in England than do the women of America. Great indignation prevails over a circular recently published advising the exclusion of lady speakers during the coming election, “lest advantage is taken of such opportunities to advocate female suffrage.” One man writing of this says; “If the antagonism to woman suffrage which is a characteristic of Mr. Gladstone is to be made one of the tenets of his followers also, I, as a man free from party bias and purpose, trust that every woman will use what little influence her unrepresented position leaves her to prevent the accession to power of a party which denies her any political voice, while carefully giving to an illiterate Irishman, who can only make his cross at the instruction of a priest, a vote in making the very laws which are to govern a woman with perhaps as much intellect and education as the voter and the priest put together.”

A LACE CAPOTE.

The bonnet shown in the picture is a lace capote for a mature woman.

It is composed of two pieces of ecru lace sewed upon a circle of tulle. Between the lace you put sprigs of small flowers, using one for an aigrette,and at. the side and at the back you place bows of double-faced satin ribbon. — The first premonition of what fall modes may be is suggested in a socalled Parisian “town toilette,” recently imported, of spotted wollen, dull blue with a black figure and made up in a flat skirt, bias at the back and trimmed only with a bias fold of the material gathered in the centre and full on across the back only. The distinguishing novelty of the costume lies in long, close redingote coat, which, opening up the middle seam of the plain back to al-

low the fulness of the skirt to escape turns back in front with gracefully pointed revers over a full chemisette of spotted silk, black with a blue figure. A waist band of black satin and gloves of pearl stitched with self color complete the dress. If the lady intends to sit at the stern of the boat in the becoming shadow af a gay parasol, holding the rudder ropes and looking unutterable things into the eyes of the young man she is fortunate enough to have row tor her, her river costume, though it is of the prosaic and practical serge, is idealized into the trig tailor made smartness of the illustration, which emanated from the fertile fancy of the one and only Worth. The skirt of the dress has a threeinch band of crimson cloth set on with a fine gold cord, and is as carefully fitted as if intended for the afternoon drive. The seamless bodice slightly full in front and crossing surplice fashion to one side, has a

FOR CANOEING.

collar of crimson with a gold cord at the edge and gold anchors embroidered in bullion in the corners, and opens over a plastron of crimson, crossed with gold bars. A soft sash belt of the gay color fastens beneath an anchor buckle on one side, and the cuffs have anchors in relief for decoration. The sailor hat of crimson straw has a braid of blue straw, with an edge of gold, tied in a stiff little bow on one side. Among the most prominent women in the political party which has grown out of the Farmers’ Alliance are Miss Mary E. Lease of Wichita, Kan., a platform orator of much eloquence and power, who will be constantly engaged in speaking for the People's party through the campaign ; Sarah Emery, one of the editors of the New Forum, a party paper just started in St. Louis; Fanny Randolph Vickery and Mrs. Gayy of Texas, and Eva McDonaldValish, whose two years’ career on the platform has been one of great credit to herself and of brilliant and efficient help to her party. She has been a self-supporting newspaper writer for several years. The election cf a woman AttorneyGeneral is among the possibilities for the State of Montana, where Ella L. Knowles, the only woman lawyer in the State, has been nominated by the People’s party. It was through the influence of Miss Knowles that the bill was passed to admit women to practice law in the State, and she was herself the first candidate for admission under the new law. Her practice is large and lucrative

A girl in the New Jersey city of Camden has tried to hang herself with her suspenders. At Messina, Siena and three other Italian university towns the number of students is so small that there is a professor to every four punils.

A woman in Bath, Me., who has brought up a family of seventeen children, of whom ten are living now has adopted another child to save it from an asylum. In the manufacture of carriages it used to take one man thirty-five days to make a carriage- It is now made by the aid of machinery with the work of one man in twelve days. Ruth Kimball, who was an attractive figure in the gallery at the Democratic convention, and whose reports were brilliant and accurate, is the only' womah who was ever admitted to the prdss gallery in the Senate. When Eastport, Me., was partly destroyed by fire several years ago the responses to the appeal for aid were so generous that when the Relief Committee finished their work they had on hand $30,000 for which there appeared to be no immediate use. The amount was invested in bonds, and the income has been paid annually into the town treasury, but now some of the sufferers have brought a bill in equity against the committee’to compel them to distribute the last cent. The case is to be contested. )
