quorum of the committee even If the vacniicy shall be filled by the appointment f an anti-silver Republican. I do not, of ourse, know what course the Republicans may adopt in filling' the vacancy as that "will depend on the conclusion of the Republican caucus, but if the silver Republicans should succeed in getting one of their own number on the committee the accession wltt only make the majority that much more pronounced." Senator Voorhees declined to discuss the probabilities of the retirement of Senator Jones, of Nevada, from the committee, because of lils affiliation with the new silver party, further than to say that he believed that the strong personal popularity f the Nevada Senator would serve to cause , his retention as a member. 4 Senator Cockrell also said In replv to a question that he had no doubt the Republicans would organize next December and Senator Gorman expressed the opinion that they would do so in case they . were successful in the Delaware election, on which contingency might depend their willingness to assume this responsibility. THOSE BOGUS STAMPS.

Sir. Johnnon Think the Pnper Wan '' . ; Manufactured In Snftlnnd. WASHINGTON. April 10. Very little Information can be obtained at the Postofflce tcpartment concerning "the counterfeiting f stamps. Chief Inspector Wheeler has obtained a large number of the alleged counterfeits and has been making an examination of them. It has been asserted that, these fraudulent stamps are those rejected at the Eureau of Engraving and Printing, and have been obtained and put on the market. It Is stated at the department that the counterfeits (if the stamps are counterfeit) are printed on paper and with ink used at the bureau, and that these materials must have been obtained at the same place as purchased by the governmnt. This afternoon a quantity of the counterfeit stamps was sent from the Postofflce department to the Bureau of Printing and Kngraving. to be examined by Claude M. Johnson, chief of the bureau. After careful atudy Mr. Johnson said that from certain peculiarities he believed the paper on which the counterfeits were - printed wras manufactured in England, and was gummed before it was printed. It could have been made in this country, however., without violation of law, as the manufacture of paper for postage stamps is not prohibited, as 1? that intended for greenbacks. Recently the bureau decided to adopt paper having a certain distineuishinir water mark, - and thp manufacturer of naoer with this mark will fall within the counterfeit laws. None of this paper has been used as yet, however, as the bureau is using up its large stock of unmarked pajwr. The ink used on the 'counterfeits.1 Mr. Johnson says, is of an ordinary character, and could have been obtained easily; The especially weak point of the present counterfeit is in the plate and press used. The Impressions are good enough to deceive ordinary Inspection, auch as they would receive in the mails, but thIr fraudulently is clearly evident, on close examination, without the aid of magnify-In,-? glasses. ...... i - ' How the Scheme Wh Worked. HAMILTON, Ont, April 10. Tho person vho is supposed to have sent ouUthe counterfeit stamps, ' as announced in ardispatch from Chicago yesterday, came here several weeks ago and gave his name. as Gccrgf; Morrison. He Is about thirty years of age. He said his business was buying and selling bankrupt" stocks. April 2 he rented -an old jpalntehop In King William street and opened the Canadian Novcjfy aJid Supply Compay. He engaged Mr3. Mack as clerk. Next da v h rl that he was going to Toronto to establish a branch there. April 5 Mrs. Mack got instructions by letter to send an advertisement to Printers' Ink, offering $175 worth of United States two-cent stamps for $100. Flie was led to believe that Morrison got the stamps in payment for goods. Under Ms Instructions, she sent away seven closely taled express packages, all addresed to different people in Chicago. Since that time h-j has received a letter from Buffalo, signed toy Morrison, instructing her to pay all money she had belonging to him to a man who would identify himself by asking for $6.25. Ud to date, however, she has not received any money, nor has any person vauea 10 laenuiy nunseir oy calling ror, 6.25. The only other communication she ha 3 from Morrison Is a letter Instructing her to send all his mall matter to the Toronto general delivery postofflce. , .

Successful Trial ot Explosive Armor-Piercing-Project I Ie. WASHINGTON. April ' 10. There were everal Interesting tests at the naval proving grounds at Indian Head to-day First came an .acceptance test of a semi-armor "piercing thlrteen-lnch shell, carrying a large explosive charge, and representing a lot of fifty such shells. This was required to pierce a seven-Inch nickel steel plate and carry Its burst charge through in condition to explode on the other side. The shell tested to-day was of the Sterling type, and completely met the conditions imposed. .It was made of fo'rged steel, and penetrated the plate without sensible deformation of fracture of the shell. Next came a test of fixed ammunition for the six-inch rapid-fire gun, the largest gun of this type intended for naval use. The shcllfi were made by the Winchester arms works and functioned perfectly. ' A few days ago some tests were made of the service percussion fupe for shells for tho five-Inch guns when tired at two-Inch steel armor plates. The fuses then carried through the plates before exploding. There were further experiments to-day to settle an Important point that had been left unsettled, namely, the distance that the shells cairied beyond the plates before exploding. A plate was supported on plies over the water. Behind this stakes were placed at inurvala of six feet, and an observer was stationed to one side to note where the explosions occurred. It wasfou nd that the shells, after perforating the plate, burst at distances ranging from ten to thirteen feet in the rear. This was exactly what was wanted, ax it insures the explosion of tho shells in the interior of a ship, if it gets through the side. Restored to Citizenship. WASHINGTON, April lO.-The President to-day by executive pardon -restored to citizenship John W. Mowbray, who in J8S9 was convicted of illegal registration in Kw York, served elx months la the El-

mira' penitentiary, and paid a fine of $50v In the opinion ot the President the circumstances attending Mowbray's offense and his conviction and sentence, and the evidence of his good behavior and law-abiding disposition during the period of nearly five years service he suffered punishment for his crime. Justifies his restoration to citizenship and pardon Is granted for that purpose. ' The President refused executive clemency to-day in the case of W. F. Shaw, who, in 1894, was convicted in the Northern Judicial district of Iowa of mutilating gold coin, for which he is nov serving a sentence of eighteen months in the penitentiary. In this case the President says there is no Justification for clemency. ItlsneU'a Obnoxious Order. WASHINGTON, April 10. The Postofflce Department is still In receipt of clippings and communications making threats against Superintendent White, of the railway mall service, because of his order calling in pa?ses given to railway clerks who used them to go home when they did not live on the line of road where, they were employed. Although this order was signed by Mr. White, It was issued under the direction of Postmaster-general BisselJ. The latter was always willing to assume responsibility for the order. It was issued Immediately after Congress had adopted an amendment to the postofflce appropriation bill nullifying the effect of an order issued by Mr. Bissell directing that railway mail service clerks should live on the lines of road where they are employed. The communications now received at the department are to the effect that Mr. White is to be called to account in the next Congress. Condition of Winter Wheat. WASHINGTON. April 10. The April report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture makes the average condition of -winter wheat on the 1st of April 81.4, against 86.7 last year.

Generally the past winter has been hard on wheat. The fall of 1894 was a dry one and not favorable in many States either to gemination or to the maintenance of the vitality of the plant. The spring has also been droughty over extensive areas. Much good, however, has been produced by the rains in the latter part of March, particularly in the States of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.

ALLEGED GIIAVE OF CHARLES DE PAIW FOOD XEAR. COLUMBUS. Suicide of Effle Mar Ilnnt at Hartford CityA Newspaper Saved the Life of an Incails Zinc Worker. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.' COLUMBUS, Ind., April 10. A grave was discovered one mile west of this city today that is remarkable for both age and seclusion. A sandstone three by six feet covered the tomb of a man who no one now -living; here knew or ever heard of. On the stone is the following inscription: "In memory of Charles DePauw, who departed this life on the 11th day of October, 1823, and who was supposed to be twentysix years old, and who died in Columbus, Ind., Bartholomew county. This stone Is a present to the memory of the deceased by his brother, N. T. DePauw." What astounds the oldest citizens here is that even sixty years ago the land where this grave was found was a wilderness and had been a favorite hunting ground for a friendly tribe of Indians that had just vacated this , section of Indiana, and that there was no roadway traveled by man within a mile of the spot where the grave was found. The finding of th grave was purely accidental and came about by the removal of an old fence row that divided the farm lands of two former pioneers who have passed away. The fence being removed, the land where it stood was being plowed when the stone was struck by the plow at a depth of about eight inches. Seventy-two year3 ago White river flowed within two hundred yards of the spot where the grave now is, and it is believed that the deceased died on the river and was buried near its banks. Since that time the stream's channel has changed a half mile away. No other plausible reason is given for the strange location of this grave. It i3 believed that the deceased is a brother of the late Washington C. DePauw, for whom . DePauw University is named, and an uncle of N. T. DePauw, of New Albany, Ind. THE JOURNAL SAVED HIS LIFE. Newspaper Stopped n Machine That Can eh t Oscar Potter. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. INGALLS, Ind., April 10. While Mr. Oscar Potter, secretary of the Ingalls Zinc Company, was superintending some work about the rock-crushing rolls in the company's plant here this morning the right sleeve of his coat caught in the gearing and he wa3 drawn into the jaws. There seemed no possible escape from ' either death or having his arm literally torn from the socket, when, fortunately, an Indianapoli3 Journal, which was in hispocket, caught in the belting in some manner and. throwing it off, stopped the machine. No one was near enough at the time to assist him and the paper' saved his life. He was badly injured as it was, and workmen had to use heavy bars to liberate his mangled arm and shoulder. SUICIDE OF EFFIE MAY HUNT. Despondent Yonnjr Woman Swallows a Fatal Done. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind. April 10. Effle May Hunt, an estimable young woman, committed suicide at the home of her brother-in-law, George Townsend, in this city to-day. She took "Rough on Rat.V and efforts to save her 'proved futile. Her act was caused by sickness and despondency. She left a note as follows: "Well. Jessie, I will write you a few lines, but I cannot see what I am doing. I am so weak that I can hardly hold my pen. Tell mother good-bye, fcr I will never see her on this earth again. I don't see why I didn't die when I was little. Good-bye, sister Jessie." Her mother, who lives in Illinois, has been sent for.

The First Presbyterian Church of this city, in order to build themselves a new church, has resorted to a novel plan. They have taken the "Edna Brown plan" of raising funds, and W. H. Banfield, secretary of the society, has sent out letters to his friends ; asking them to make three copies of his letters and return the. one they rece!vey to him with, a dime to assist in- building a church, and to request the ones they write to to do the same, and so on up to the point where the chain reaches fifty, when it is complete. Should any one not desire to comply they are requested to return the letter they receive so that he will know that the chain is broken. Should this be as successful as the Edna Brown affair, the Elwood postofflce would be unable to handle the enormous mall Mr. Banfield will receive. If the scheme works, when the chain is raised to the fifteenth series he will have received the enormous number of 52,138,721 letters, containing the sum of $5,213,372.10. Should the chain of fifty letters ever be completed it would require answers from several times as many people as there are to-day on the globe, and the sum of money received would be beyond the conception of human understanding, and would certainly enable the Presbyterians of Elwood to erect a neat little church with the proceeds, after deducting the amount paid out by Mr. Banfield for assistance in opening the letters and taking care of the money.

Propheti Joseph Smith and the "Quorum ot Twelve" Have Not Yet Seen the Expected Vision. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 10. To-day was an eventful one in the conference of the Latter-day Saints at Independence. The question' of the organization of the "Order of Enoch" was discussed. This "Order of Enoch" was authorized by a revelation which was given in 1830. This revelation came at the same time as the one "which named Independence as the Zion of the church and provided for this "Order of Enoch," and stated what its object should be and how'ii it should be conducted. This revelation has never been carried out by the church, for the reason that the fact that the "Temple Lot" was not In possession of the church held back preparations for the completion of the plans looking toward the final arrangements to make Independence the true home of the "saints." This "Order of Enoch" is to be organized for the purpose of purchasing large tracts of land which will be rented or sold to the poorer classes at a living rate. Another, feature of this order will be the establishment of factories and shops and other manufacturing Industries. The question under discussion to-day was as to whether the time has come for the fulfillment of this revelation. The effort to change the conference sessions from annual to biennial and to leave the management in the hands of the twelve apostles was defeated. Another meeting of the twelve apostles, the bishopric and the presidency was held behind closed doors this morning and important results are hoped for by the church. Several quorums of elders spent the morning in prayer that God might direct His will to the conference. Contrary to expectations, the "quorum of twelve" and Joseph Smith did not bring any revelations from the nether world today. If the quorum does not bave a revelation soon touching some of the great matters of church government some of the saints and all of the laity, will grow very weary. Since the beginning of this conference the most intense interest has been, shown in all the sessions, the principal attraction being Joseph Smith, son of the great prophet, and himself a seer of highest standing. But the head of the church has not revealed anything. Beyond presiding over the business sessions he has brought nothing to alleviate the anxieties concerning the vacancies which have exlstd for forty years in the "quorum of twelve." The rank and file appear to have reached the conclusion that there is too much "one man" power in the church. The president and the twelve have been in the habit, it is claimed, of disposing of all mooted questions by quietly referring them to the "next conference" ope year hence. This has displeased the elders and their followers, and now they propose to have a change in the system of presenting and passing upon questions of interest to the church. The story of Joseph Smith's conversation with the angel Moroni, from which sprung the Mormon Church, was the main feature ot this afternoon's session. The story was told by Mrs. Catharine Salisbury, Joseph Smith's sister, and the last survivor of his immediate family. Mrs. Salisbury is eightythree years of age, but she claims to recall the time of the wonderful vision as though it were but yesterday. She told how the angel had come to her brother in the night and had stood in a glow of white light midway between the floor and the ceiling of his room and had talked for hours, telling where the golden record was to be found in the hill of Conoran. And then she told how the plates bad been found, and, after much tribulation on account of mobs of evil men, how they were translated and how the Church of Jesus Christ was founded. The resolutions providing for the establishment of the "Order of Enoch" were laid over until the next conference. The only other business of Importance considered was a motion to transfer the publication of the Herald, now Issued at I.amonl, la., to Independence. The matter was laid over until to-morrow.

PEACE NEAR AT HAiND ALL BUT "ONE OF THE EIGHT TliRMS ACCEPTED BY CHINA. Probable Provisions of the Agreement That Will End tho Oriental War Armistice Ends In Ten Dnys. WASHINGTON, April 10. The ChinoJapanese armistice closes In ten days, so that it is anticipated by officials and diplomates that the final terms of peace must be near at hand. It Is stated, however, by a dlplomate of experience with the Chinese and Coreans that it is characteristic: with them not to meet an emergency until the last day. A case is cited In which Japan gave Corea three months , to acquiesce in certain conditions. There was no response until the day before the three months expired, when a Corean official appeared and stated that the subject had been overlooked and more time was desired, which request, however, was not granted. It would not be surprising to officials if Li Hung Chang pursued this policy, taking the full ten days before yielding to all Japan's demands. The reports that the indemnity will be about 400,000.000 yen, coincides substantially with the understanding here that $JOO,OCO,000 would be the amount of the payment. The present rate of exchange on the silver yen is 47 cents, so that 400,000,000 silver yen would be $1SS,000,000. . It is agreed on. all hands, including Japanese and Chinese officials, that the independence of Corea will be one of the terms of peace. This brings out the curious fact that the United States is the only power which has heretofore recognized Corea's independence and has received a .diplomate's delegation from that country. It is stated that some time ago China addressed a private letter to all foreign powers in which it was argued that Corea was independent in conducting her internal affairs, but was a tributary of China, so far as dealings with foreign powers were concerneii. It has never been disclosed what answers the powers gave, but from the fact that Corea has no diplomatic legation anywhere outside the United States, it Is concluded that the European powers acquiesced in China's suggestion and failed to accord Corea compete independence of China. It is understood that the United States never made any formal reply to China's contention, but the establishment of a Corean legation in Washington was a tacit refusal to recognize her authority over Corea and a recognition of the latter' Independence. It is believed the peace agreement between Japan and China will so conspicuously affirm Corea's independence that the kingdom will extend her treaty relations with the remainder of the world and establish legations throughout Europe as well as in the United States. The cable reports that seven of the eight terms of peace between China and Japan have been agreed on occasions much speculation here as to the eight terms on which Japan insists. The Japanese legation has received no cables In many aayu, and the officials say they have no information of the eight conaitions. There is no doubt, however, that five of the most essential conditions are those given in these dispatches at the outset of the negotiations, namely, a new Cnino-Japanese treaty conceding Japan extraterritorial courts In China, but denying the latter country extraterritorial courts in Japan; independence of Corea; an indemnity of about $200,000,000; occupation of Port' Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wel for a term of years . and cession of the island of Formosa. .The five terms are now fully confirmed by the later developments of the conference. Three additional ones have now been added, and these, it is believed, relate to trade matters. Which one of these eight terms of peace Is the cause of delay Is not known here. .. Conference nt Shlmonosekl. SHIMONOSEL April 10. The peace 'negotiations were continued to-day between Ccunt Ito and Li Hung Chang. The conference lasted two hours. Viscount Mutsu, one of the Japanese commissioners, was ill and was not able to attend the conference. The British steamship Yik Sang, which was gaptured by a Japanese man-of-war outside of Taku, having on board 220,000 cartridges, shipped at Shanghai by a respectable ' German firm as "bamboo and steel," has been taken to Port Arthur. Herod's Promotion Approved. VICTORIA, B. C, April 10. The steamship Empress of Japan, which left Tokio March 30, has arrived here. Advices from Tokio say the promotion of B. R. Herod, of Indiana, to be secretary of the American legation is warmly approved by all nationalities. Viceroy IJ Hung Chang's assailant is a provincial farmer, who affiliated with the "Soshl," a body of low political agitators. His only motive in attempting to kill the Viceroy was to gain notoriety. Newspaper Impertinence. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I want to express to you my gratification at seeing the editorial headed "The Coming Newspaper," In your issue of Sunday It is a matter of extreme regret to many that the sentiments therein expressed are not more generallr held by the dally newspapers. It Is especially regretted by those really modest, self-respecting young women who are placed, through necessity, in the gaze of the public in offices and other business places. Many times during my years of public service have I been the confidante of the young women in public service In circumstances of the greatest embarrassment, brought about by the inane, impertinent, mortifying utterances of some of the newspapers, and published under the name of "news." Those young women feel, and rightfully so. that their private affairs and personal actions are not the property of the public, nor does the suffer.ng public desire to hear of those things that in no way interest them, and of which they may Justly . complain that they have been cheated when they have paid their money for news. When women anywhere are doing that which will be a help to the community, or of special interest to others in giving inspiration to better fitness for any relation in life, there is some excuse, or even good reason for running a "Woman's Column," but when this column is filled with silly vaporings and Impertinent speeches concerning private affairs of women, there is as little excuse for the outrage done those whose names are used and for the insult to the public to whom this slush is offered for news as there would be for any of these same reporters taking possession of the young woman's toothbrush, and. after using it himself, to orfer It to those who came in his way. One of the woit features of this matter has been the utter helplessness of those thus outrageously treated. Any sort of protest from one smarting under this most ungenerous conduct has usually been answered with a sneering remark of supersensltiveness of women and an allusion to the unformaate fact that they were public servants, while it Is generally followed by a new attack of a more embarrassing character. Perhaps if those in charge of the daily papers begin to give the matter some attention there will be a welcome change in the tone of these comments. I may say. however, , that the Journal has. not been guilty, to my knowledge, of this attempted wit at the expense of an innocent victim, and, so far as I know, the esteem and respect is mutual between its reporters and the young women who work in public places a condition of affairs which does not deprive theaper of tire smallest bit of what is properly news. MARY EILEEN AHERN. Indianapolis. April 8. Appraisement In Henry County. To the Editor of the Inuiana polls Journal: My attention has been called to a' reported Interview with Colonel Walker as to the action of the assesosrs of Henry county in regard to the proposed appraisement of values of farm lands in this county. The reason given in the Interview is entirely erroneous, es no such reasons were given for the lowering of values on real estate. The real facts In the case are that the value of farm lands in this county has depredated since 1891 at least 30 per cent. For the accuracy of the above statement 1 would refer Colonel Walker to any well-

informed farmer or business man in this county. While I should much rather show a more prosperous condition of the county honesty compels me to make the . abova statement. This condition of affairs Is owing, in my judgment, to the vicious legislation of the Democratic party in the last two years, within which time the material wealth of the country has depreciated from one-fourth to one-half. The assessors of Henry county are at work; they are Intelligent, capable men, and will consclentlously do their duty and will assess all property in accordance with Section f.3 of the assessment laws, at its full and fair cash value, but, as fair and honest appraisements are what they are sworn to make under the law, they will appraise the value of farm lands approximately 25 per cet.t. lower than the appraisement of 1891. I cannot order this appraisement on the basis of the valuation of 1891. If the Board of Tax Commissioners see fit to change the valuation I -will, of course, have to cubmit. DANIEL- W. SAINT. Assessor Henry . County. New Castle, Ind., April 8. TWO MOKE ARTISTS SECURED. Press Clnb Committee Arranges for? Two Additional Treats. The entertainment committee that has ln charge the arrangements for the matinee for the benefit of the Press Club is making excellent progress in the work of securing attractions, and already ha an array of talent that promises one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever given in Indianapolis. Among the attractions secured yesterday was a piano solo by Miss- HcnrlAttn Ifit-fholl. nf thin .IK. - - k,-. 1 the finest pianists in the West. Miss Kltchell was formerly connected with an organization composed of artists of much celebrity, but during the last year she has been with the musical department of the Episcopal school for young ladies at Central avenue and Seventh street. Miss Kltchell was a pupil of Mme. Julia Rive-King, and her execution is cbaraclerized by wonderful brilliancy and expression. She has only been heard in this city on a few occasions, notably in the May festival of two years ago. where her work .compared most favorably with that of the few prominent pianists of America. i Mrs. Elsie Lombard Brush, wife of Mr. John T. Brush, has "kindly consented to appear at the matinee. Mrs. Brush, prevous to coming to this city as the wife, of Mr. Brush, was of the James A. Hearne's "Shore Acres" company during ita big New York hit, Mrs. Brush represent the purest type of the modern stage. Sho is sweet and charming in manner, of great beauty and has won the mst flattering; notices from the press of tnw Eastern cities. During a prolonged engagement In Boston the winter before earning here she appeared In no less than eighteen benefits. She was a great favorite there. Mrs. Brush was known in the theatrical world as Elsla Lombard, a name to which she is very much attached as with it she won her laurels and, being her own, she likes it. Throughout the East she Is known only as Elsie Lombard. Since coming to Indianapolis to reside Mrs. Brush has appeared, but very few times in public and on those occasions she has delighted eyery one who heard her. Tho Press Club is happy to announce her as one of the participants in the exceptional programme which it will present. Members of the club are being congratulated on all sides on securing Jesse Bartlett Davis and Mr. Cowles, of the Bostonians. It is seldom operatic singers of such fame are heard outsido their regular company work. The sale of seats for the Press Club matinee will open Saturday morning at the Grand Opera House box office. Tickets, which can bo exchanged for reserved seats at the box office, will be put on sal at down-town business places Friday morning. . Beware the Etching: Peddler. To the Editor of 'the Indianapolis Journal: For the last week or ten days a Jew has been peddling remarqu proof etchings about the down-town offices of tha city. Quite a number of people have beeu, imposed upon by his smooth lies. He pretends to represent a Nov York art publishing house and to sell by sample to dealers only. However, he has a oilroad ticket for New York, which always "expires this evening," and to save taking his samples back with him is willing to sell them remarkably cheap. He says they ar worth $10 to $15 each, but as they are slightly soiled he will sell them at $1. The truth is, he is only a common peddler. A friend of mine, an artist, tells me that thes proofs are worth only 17c in New York. There are thousands of duplicates of each and none of the originals are- the works of artists of any consequence. ONE WHO WAS DONE. Indianapolis, April 10. Will He Call an Extra Sesftlonf . Washington Special in Chicago Tost. rhe President Is being importuned per sonally by men of highest influence in public affairs and avalanched with weighty letters and telegrams urging him to convene Congress in special session for the repeal or correction of the income tax law. These appeals are grounded on the broad proposition that the law In its present emasculated shape discriminates with brutal injustice against the mercantile, manufacturing and bustling business interests ia general and in favcw of the coupon clippers and heavy owners of real estate, who were especially aimed at. They contend that the law as it now stands Is so rankiy and cruelly wrong that common Justice requires either its immediate repeal or its amendment in some form that will react the rich clasRes who are exempted from, the payment of their share of the taxes. How the President will act in the premises cannot be stated. He has permitted tho statement to be made with authority that he would not call an extra session If tha Supreme Court annulled the act, but that was to quiet the fears that the government might not have enough money to get through the calendar year if deprived of the revenue frmr. the Income tax. The situation as it is now presented him is an altogether different one. it is not now a question of revenue, but one of grave injustice to hundreds of thousands of men. who represent substantially all there is to the business push, energy and brain of the country. This is a phase of the quesA i i .4 nAt nrsvinniilv taken Into cnn.' sideration and there is no telling how he will look at it. That, he is Impressed goes without question. ; for he keeps In close touch with the'pepl and is a good ludge of the strength, power and - tendency of the Impulses that move them strongly. .Merely . Ripple. Par's Letter. The death of Charles Worth has made but a small ripple of excitement in the world it, which he was once pre-eminent. The house of Worth has lost something of Its prestige of late years, and although it still excels In ball rowns, there is a sort of hothouse atmosphere In Its daytime frocks that seems to unfit them for general wear. Worth flourished under the second empire and the favor of Empress Eugenie, and the founder of the house was really the first courtier of the world, for he was the first man to perceive the advantage of selling and making up goods at the same establishment.
