Taking the place, with many women, of the Eton and bolero jackets which still, however, hold favor among autumn mode, says a New York fashion writer, are the blouse Jackets with turn-down Napoleon collar or one in Alglon shape, with or without the skirt peplum, cut in circular form or, the; new Norfolk Jacket made with f-ilk-stitched. adjustable pleats that taper from beneath the edges of a shaped yoke, to the waist. A narrow stitched belt deUnes the flight dip at the front, and the close sleeves are made with two seams. Color as a rule is very artistically considered this reason, and even from the vivid red. gold and deep orange dye, as keynotes in both dress and millinery, many novel and attractive variation are made. All shades of red take a prominent place among autumn and winter accessories, and the vogue of fine delicate gold trimmings Is equally tho rage. The genuine royal red is a brilliant scarlet, but with not a trace, of a bricklsh tint in It. It Is more like the plowing torch of a sumac bush. There are also the becoming ruby and flamingo dyes; and the Roman and Sanglier shades which appear on fashionable gowns, evening wraps and French millinery, and like the t!eep-hued velvet petaled geranium and nasturtium blossoms. Some exceedingly attractive striped silk and satin fabrics are brought out for dinner, reception and opera gowns for the present season. They are shown variously in biack and rose color, in biack and white, mauve and white, black and nasturtium red, opal gray and tita-shtll pinK, eic. Strappings of velvet, black Chantilly lace rlounclngs and draperies, black net ruches and ecru lace appnque banus, are the decorations most used for the trained gowns maile of these silks. The pretty I'aqum points turned over email necKoamls were tho teginnlng of mucn more elaborate things In the hands of tna French designers. Douce t has recently been known to use two yards of lice in draping Vandyke outside of a plain collar. The lace was aoout four inches wiele, but its full width was seen only on the center of each side. Jt was used in two pieces a yard in length, tapering to nothing ut the ends, where they almost met front and back. Fancy ruches of net and mousseline tie sole are also on tho neck of carriage and calling gowns; with long scarfs of the same accordian-pleated, tieU together ery closely In places with folds of the net, and terminating at tho edges of the very long ends in a bordering of narrow but thickly ruched chiffon. This forma a very effective and graceful finish to a handsome gown, particularly if the wearer is tall and slender.. Many of the tucked bodices and fancy waist are still made with the closing at the center of the back. In silks and sheer beautiful wool fabrics, some of these waists have the front tucked on pointed yoke outline, slightly bloused below, while a fanshaped cluster of graduated tucks is arranged at each side of the center of the back. The cuffs of the bishop sleeves and the stock collar are of brier-stitched silk, the shade of the waist. The belt is also of silk, as one matching the bodice gives much greater length to the appearance of the waist, especially at th back, than a belt of velvet, ribbon or leather of contrasting color. Dress skirts are modlshly varied in form and effect to correspond with the numerous coat. Jacket, basque, bodice, paletots and redingote style worn en suite. There are very graceful five-gored shapes with habit back, in round, or deml-train lengths, three-pieca models in short sweep length, with inverted box pleat at the back, and finished with a very deep, circular flounce, which is laid in five tucks about an inch and a half wide, (ored skirts with a graduated flounce tucked at the top to fit the gored portion which it Joins, are imported, and another style cut in three pieces has a llounc very narrow at the bottom, both front and back, but wide and high at each side, and this Is covered with fifteen very small frills, which may be of silk or satin matching the skirt, or of chiffon, net or pleated mousselir.e de sole. A hip-yoke 1 outlined by vertical tucks on the top of a five-gored skirt. An elegantly decorated panel is applied to the front breadth, and at th bottom of the back and sides, a finish is given, by narrow ruches of silk or chiffon. Small ruflles or ruches, laid In rows upon one large flounce, are a highly favored means of trimming dress skirts. Again, there are circular styles with double boxIdeated backs, the front and sides elaborated with showy designs in sllK passementerie en applique. Concerning Your Hats. Philadelphia Telegraph. If you have a long nose and a long chin, don't wear a hat with a long pointed brim extending over your forehead. People are apt to fall to calculating in a way uncomplimentary to your profile. Don't buy a hat to match one suit if you are compelled to wear it with many. You may not liko black and white, but it is the economical woman's best friend. Don't wear a white Gainsborough with white plumes if you can't afford to have them cleaned and curled occasionally. Don't drag the last cent from your pocketbook for a "dress" hat If you can e-nly a ft or d one chapeau. It will be ridiculous for ordlnan' occasions, and it will soon 1ä too shabby for special affairs. Don't wvar castor because it Is fashionable if it is not becoming. Don't crowd all your left-over trimmings on one poor little frame in the vain hope that you will impress by quantity If not by quality. And don't, if you are trimming a hat yourself, put on donkey ears or wad a lot of old flowers under the brim in the bacic to rest agatnst the hair. Thev always hang down dejectedly or stick out aggressively. Study the line of the hat first and then the colon. Then pick out lrom tho past year's assortment the things that harmonite. Hats this year are getting away from the conglomerations of the past. The most chic hats are those that achieve style with the least piled-on-trim-mlng agony. Don't trim your hat altogether by the way it looks in your lap. Lots of hats are charming until you put them on. Then they are shrieking monstrosities. (Jet the hat together about the way you want it, and then try it on. Trimmings often have to be adjusted with the aid of pins while the hat is on the head. Use the hand mir ror strenuously. It is well to experiment first with your ribbons and other mussable trimmings before you press them out that I. If they need rejuvenation of any kind. Then when they are fresh and crisp you know what to do with them. Don't hope to make up for all deficiencies In shape, material and style by tilting your hat still farther over your right eye. This touch of French diablerie has gone out and it only makes one look tough. Don't make your hat and trimmings look like a superannuated pin-cushion by Jibing them full of holes with your hat pin Don't pull your hat pin all the way out Rnd then stick it back, hit or miss, in the crown somewhere for safekeeping. Pull the pin out Just far enoupgh to loosen It from the hair and then stick It back again In the same hole when the hat is removed Hats pet punctured enough even with the bet of care. A Horn llonwekeeper. Youth's Companion. "They tell me you are a born housekeeper. Mrs. RHss!'" There wai a rustle In the hallway, and the parted portiere revealed a charming ligure. "This Is my eighteenth attempt at Mscuit. We have attain d our majority to.ether. Tell me. please, nre seventeen failures essential for each culinary masterpiece? Is it indispensable for a cook to be born?" The Invalid smiled at the radiant face lov hr. "You give me my first appetite !'i weeks, e hild. and an. wer your own qusti n. Seventeen failures on a chemical experiment would not disconcert you. Why must girls devote ye.-tf? to a few 'books and glas retorts, and then be expected to solve the triplications of an establishment and the chemistry of food by the light of nature?" "Why. Indeed?" echoes from every village i;.! city, where young housekeepers versed ferhaps, in Sanskrit know nothing of the aws of sanitation; where the abject rnistres cannot tea oh a cook to make good tread; and where a broiled beefsteak Is familiar only to the cookbooks. Lord Uacou thought it no shame to bend

hi mighty mind to kitchen problems. Talleyrand devoted an hour of every busy day to th companionship of his cook. Onethird of that time spent by a growing girl in the practice of rookery, marketing, the care of rooms and the oversight of servants would make her at eighteen a competent housekeeper, able to meet the perplexing problems of everyday living, and to dispose of them simply and intelligently. "I am not clever like my friends who write and paint and compose," such a girl once, raid, "but perhaps it is something to make household wheels turn noiselessly in their cogs." It is more than something; it is woman's mission and supreme accomplishment; bul "who wishes to be a master must begin betimes."

The Girl with Tuet. New York Tribune. "I had cften wondered," said an interested onlooker, "why Maud X should be so much more attractive to men than her sister Mary, who 13 far away the better looking, but I happened to overhear their respective conversations the other day with young Croesus, ar.d I could then easily comprehend the reason. Mary went on In a steady, monotonous monologue. She had been out shopping that morning! It rained dreadfully she and her mother had to take a cab. It was blocked at Twenty-third street. It was dreadful that such jams were allowed, etc. No detail of an uninteresting morning did she spare him. .You could see by his forced attention and mechanical smile that he was bored, and what the young people call 'stuck,' but Mary continued her recital without In the least realizing the situation, branching off into a full description of their summer travels and ending up with a minute account of how she got the prize at Mrs. O 's bridge party. "Later in the evening I saw Maud with the same man. He was talking with animation about hla horses and traps and new automobile, and she looked really pretty, she was so smiling and interested and sympathetic. To my unprejudiced ears the young man's talk was even less interesting that Mary's recital of her shopping tour, but then there waa all the difference! It was his interests that were paramount. Maud had drawn him out, found his hobby for him, and helped him to mount it and canter away, while Mary made the mistake of thinking that to talk was to entertain a blunder which many very young women are apt to fall Into, believing that to amuse a young man they must never cease chattering!" The Mutter of Polishes. New York Sun. The question of polishes may be settled In fully as many ways. If equal parts of linseed oil, vinegar and alcchol are mixed well together the result will be a very satisfactory sort of polish. This should be applied with one cloth, and another cloth used in giving the final rubbing. Very little of any furniture polish is enough, therefore be careful not to put on too much. Another simple polish is a mixture of turpentine and linseed oil In the proportion of one ounce of spirits of turpentine to three ounces of linseed oil. To keep the dinging-room table in good, well-polished condition rub it once a week with a mixture of one ounce of spirits of turpentine and one ounce of olive oil, applying the polish with a piece of flannel cloth. Turpentine, in fact, finds a place in most of these restorers. A mixture that Is recommended to give a tine lustre to wood is made by melting two ounces of beeswax and adding four ounces of spirits of turpentine, removing the beeswax from the lire, of course, beiore bringing the turpentine into action because of the latter's inflammable nature. A piece of cotton flannel is the best thing to use in applying this polish, and, as in the other cases, a clean dry cloth must be used in rubbing up the lustre. To Clean Lnee. New York Evening Sun. Lace, no matter how fine of texture It may be, is one of the simplest things to clean If only it Is carefully handled. It may be wound about a bottle and washed In that position, It may be put loose Inside a bottle the cleansing fluid added, and the washing done by thorough shaking; or, by the best method of all, the lace may be sewed upon two thicknesses of flannel. The stitches should be long and of fine cotton thread. Put the lace, thus basted to the flannel. Into a basin of suds made from castile soap and to which one teaspoonful of powdered borax has been added. Let the lace soak for twenty-four hours, the sud3 being changed as frequently as necessary, the state of the lace deciding that point. From the suds place the lace in clean water, allowing It to stay for three hours. Squeeze it between the palms to remove the water. When nearly dry, place on two thicknesses of flannei, lace downward, so that the lace will be between four layers of flannel, two dry and two damp. Press with a hot iron until perfectly dry, then rip the laco from the flannel. Odd and Rndi. Skin cleanliness, or, in other words, frequent ablution of the whole person. Is a powerful preservative against all infectious and contagious diseases. Tiny ruches of silk or of the dres3 material pinked at the edges are the fashionable trimmings for the newest models of etamlne, nuns' veiling and other light wool or silk and wool gowns. Black cloth and mud stains are not always so willing to part company as might be wished. After it has been found that brushing is not sufficient, rub the remaining traces of the mud with the raw surface of a cut potato. Cold water can do no harm to any material that is washable. It will often remove stains better than any other agent and should be given the first chance, unless in a case where it is known that it has no power in the stain. It should alwavs be used for blood stains, meat Juice, white of egg or other albuminous bubstances.. Ultra fashionable women have already elected for the modernized Louis XV coat for present dressy uses. It is essentially Parisian In style, and in either cloth or velvet has a white satin lining, a Napoleon or Alglon collar and bell sleeves. Other models ehow a waistband and deep elbow mousquetalre cuffs of chine panne in Oriental colorings. The care of the piano Is an Important matter, the more so because neglect of that piece of furniture soon makes itself felt. Dampness is the worst foe that the piano has. It should not stand, therefore, near an open window and It should not be pushed close against the wall. The keys, when they need to be cleaned, should be rubbed with a soft muslin cloth which has been dampened with alcohol. Soft silk such as an old silk handkerchief makes the best sort of duster for use about the piano. Maple sugar cake 1 a delicious varletytof layer cake and is made after these directions: Peat together one and one-half cupfuls of finely shaved maple sugar, one eg and one-third cupful of butter; add one cupful of sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda and two scant cupfuls of milk; bake In layer tins. The filling is made by cooking one-half pound of maple sugar and onehalf cupful of water until the syrup hardens in water; remove from the fire and pour slowly over one egg, beating constantly; when the mixture Is nearly cold spread on the cake layers. AN ACCOMPLISH F.D "WOMAN. A Few ThliiK the Kmpresa Frederick Knew. Mainly About Teople. As to her intelligence and acquirements, the dirTlcuky Is to say not so much what she did know as to find out something she Uil not know. She spoke French, Herman, Kngllsh and Italian with equal fluency and during the visits she paid to her daughter, who Is married to the Creek crown prince, she taught herself modern Creek, ller knowledge of languages was as close a if she had been a professional student or a nrofessor of literature. And what made her knowledge appear so phenomenal was her marvelous memory. "She has literally read everything." wrote of her Custav zu Pulitz, a (lerman man of letters, and "knows everything by heart. The princess." he writes, "quoted a great deal from Shakspeare, w hom she seems to know half by heart." "I almost know the 'Idylls of the King' by heart now." she wrote to Tennyson. And she was Just as well able to juote (ifrnuin poetry. This was literature go to other and quite different subjects. When her husband introduced Professor Schellbach, his mathematical tutor, to her, the crown princess replied: "I love mathematics, physics and chemistry;" and the delighted professor soon Iln.ls out that she has made no idle boast, but that she remembers the lesions she had learned from the great Faraday, and from her father. The poor professor's only complaint is that she is taken up so much by her artistic studies and her official functions that she is prevented from becoming a great woman of science. Sir Charles Lyell, the great geologist, comes to fcte her; he finds, to his astonishment, that she has read and mastered his works on geology, and that she has not only read but also digested Darwin's great book on "Natural Selection," which has Just come out. and has revolutionized the whole world of scientific and religious thought.

TIIK SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. Fourth Quarters Joseph Sold Into Fgypt (ienenl xxxvli, 12-3U. The inevitable ar.d grievous consequences of polygamy were cpon Jacob. Even the blessing at Jatbok could not avert, though It may have mitigated them. That experience, no doubt, made the patriarch more patient and Just under hla extremely trying circumstances. 13ut his home, If it deserved the name of home at all. was rent with Jealousy. Four wives and four sets of children kept the camp in pandemonium. Under the most favorable circumstances the rearing of twelve sons la an Operon task. At the very time Jacob should have been giving Ms undivided attention and strength to it, he nn to have neeri chieily engaged in outwitting Laban and accumulating a fortune. The result wajj, he nad a lot of unruly, wicked boys on his hands, vho made his name unsavory among the Inhabitants of the land. On the dark background of this polygamous household the pure and artless character of Joseph emerges with most pleasinij effect. lie was the sen of Jacob's later and better days. II was taken away soonest from the degrading influences cf Padanaram. lie waa chastened by the greatest grief that can befall a young heart, a mother's death. The very frequency and completeness with which hla surroundings changed was calculated to cultivate the devout and dependent spirit. From the thorny and thistly sons of Jacob grapea and figs could cot be expected. The extreme cruelty, especially of Simeon and Levi, had already shown itself in the case of th hechemlts. All were rude, treacherous Bedouin. The gentel and pure character of Joseph was a standing stricture upon them. They were envious of his impending honor; ready to cry aa their descendants afterwards did: "We will rot have this man to reign over us." They nursed their Jealousy until It reached the size of murder. Joseph had come to them on an errand of love from his father. It was a long and l-trllous Journey from Hebron to Dothen. There were Eedouin and bears In the way. He had brought hla brothers goodly viands. If there waa to be any criticism of their conduct on his part, direct or Indirect, It would be Just and or trelr real advantage. But they allowed themselves to be moved with envy. Their utter heartkssness is shown in that they could sit down to the very banquet h had brought them and eat it in sound of his walling voice. Amos compassionately refers to the "sufferings cf Joseph." They were- pitiful, unparalleled. II was treated with Indignity; stripped of his lobe of state; taunted with his dreams; cast Into a demijohn-shaped cistern, from which escape was Impossible. There, In the mire and clay of a horrible pit. he shivered for want of his cloak. He was a-hungered and weary, with no place to lay his head. He waa treading the wine piesa of sorrow alone, and of his brothers there was none to help him. At length he is Hfttd from the pit, but only to suffer a worse fate. There is an expulsive power in a new vice as well as in a new virtue. Murder Is ousted by avarice. The sight of the approaching trading caravan suggests the posaiLi'lty of making mercnanaise or this obnoxious brother. A moment later they gloat over their two silver shekels apiece, and see their kinsman according to the flesh depart to Ignominious and hopeles servitude. Naked and under a burning sun. with an iron collar about his neck and a lash upon his back, the heir of all the promises departs from the very land he was to have Inherited. The prince Is metamorphosed Into the slave, Canaan exchanged for Egypt. From the human angle all Is lost; but "Cod moves In a mysterious way His wonders to perform." THE TEACHER'S LANTERN". This fascinating story is a thin veil through which the most cursory reader must catch a glimpse cf the atonement. A greater Father rends His greater Son. It P an errand of love and n.ercy. He brings bread and wine, emblems of His own sacrifice and oblation. He comes to His own, but His own receive Him not. He is sold at tho price of a slave. He Is shockingly humiliated, smitten and mocked, stripped of His robe, put to a slave's death, cntombel; but now lie appears upon a throne of glory to give redemption to all as many as will believe upon Ills name. Thus Is Joseph one of the most striking types of Jesus. Joseph's rescue would have been the greatest possible misfortune. For himself: To have been reared in Canaan by his fond father would have made a lllliputlan of him. For his nation: Egypt waa to be their schoolhouse, and Joseph's captivity waa the means of bringing them there. This does not discount the brothers' crime. God made their wrath to prai?e Him, and the excess of It, which would have murdered the heir of tha promises, He restrained. A reverse! So It seemed when the heir-apparent to Israel's throne became a slave. But whether an event is a reverse or not depends upon what God means by It and th use man makes of it. If Joseph had become a man hater and spent his time bewailing his hard lot his going a slave to EJpt would have been a reverse. On the contrary, he triumphed over untoward circumstances. By his industry and fidelity he made himself Indispensable to Fotlphar, the prison keeper, and finally to Fharaoh himself. Tyres of Jesus are cumulative. One alone might be dismissed nonchalantly as & mero coincidence, but when they number scores, each clear and beautiful as that of Joseph, their divinity is borne KINDERGAETENS VS. ANARCHY.

The question is how to educate tho mothers that they may eradicate Anarchism. To my mind there is only one way, so long as there Is a constant influx of ignorant humanity to our shores. That way is through the free klnuergarten system In all its ramincations. of th substrata of society. First, benefit tho children; this is the only way to touch the innermost spring of family life. Motncrs soon see the improvement in their children.

Lossoa

Worlr, In upon the mini. It Is a preconcerted, superhuman method of universal Instruction. These types of the Bible are arar-n; the many charming beauties of the book. The old saying. "Through tribulation deep the way to glory Is," Las a remarkable verification in the case of Joseph. Yet it would never fiave done for him to have known positively In advance that he was on the way to glory. The throne must need ba curtained off, and he see only the servitude, in order that it should be his best discipline. A little span the triumph of evil covers at best. The malignant brothers are In L fine feather over making away with the object of their enmity. They are glad they will see the face of the dreamer and "reporter" no more. But In a score of years they are fulfilling the dream and bowing timorou?ly before his blazing thrcne. The wicked spread themselves like the bay, but suddenly they are not. Malice la' impotent when it rears itself against Providence. That fine coat! How soon it was stripped I off! Joseph was Just as good and great without it. It Is character, not clothes, that wins. Reuben was imitating Jacob in finesse. He exacted to get his brother out of the hole. But tho success of neither father nor son in cunning is sufficient to encourage imitation. Reuben's kindly feeling toward his rival la commendable, but, perhaps, if he had courageously withstood his brothers it would have been a case where one, consciously in the right, would have put nine, consciously In the wrong, to flight. A further hint of Joseph's character Is found in the descriptive phrase, "A child of the old ones." He had an old head on young ehoulders; preferred the company of his ciders; spent much time, no doubt, with his grandfather Isaac. As In his father, bo in him, there may have sprung up the ambition to inherit the primogenitureship; unlike his father, however, he took no unworthy means to help Providence secure the desired end. The primogenitureship passed from the first son by Leah to the first son by Rachel. To attest the fact Jacob put an uncommon and lovely robe of state upon the heir apparent. With the real of a reformer the embryo priest and ruler at once reported to his father the uncomely acts of his brothers, only with a view to having them amended. He was aggrieved that the fair name of the holy nation should be tarnished by such tins. He felt that the very perpetuity of the tribe and all the oracles of God committed to it were Imperiled. 9 CHRISTIAN EXDKAVOIl, Topic for Oct. Ut ThU Grace Alao" II Cor. Till, 7-0. There was once a poor Hindu mother who had two boy babies, twins, and one of them was blind. She thought the gods must be angry with her. or the child would not be blind, and planned to propitiate them. One day she was fe?n with J but a single child In her arms, and he was blind! She had thrown the other, as an offering, into I the Ganges. "Yes, of course," she said, when questioned, "I (avet the best!" How this untaught faithfulness of the poor heathen mother puts us all to shame! "We may be sure that God gives His best to us, without reserve of anything for His private enjoyment; that is. He always elves us the beet we are capable of receiving. It may fairly be questioned whether we give to Him at all until we give ergerly, and until we ask honestly, not "How little can I give and preserve my selfrespect and the respect of others?" but "How much is It my happy privilege to give?" Andrew Carnegie has laid down the doctrine that "U is a disgrace to die rich," and nobly he is striving to ward off that disgrace from himself. George Müller, the Apostle of Faith, handled immense sums of money In the support of his great philanthropic enterprises, but left behind, at his death, property valued at only J800. and little of this was in money. The ambition to "die rich" is one of the most engrossing and debasing of human passions. The wealth thus sought is & wealth that is died into, surely enough. liut It Is possible to have a wealth that signifies life, and life ever more abundant. The story of John Wesley's sermon is well known. A stingy old farmer was listening to the great preacher, whose theme was money. Wesley's first topic wa, "Get all you can." "Good I" whispered the old farmer, nudging his neighbor. The second topic was. "Pave all you can." "Still better!" whispered the farmer, waxing enthusiastic. But the preacher's third topic, on which he proceeded to enlarge with all his Godgiven eloquence, was, "Give all ycu can." "Oh, dear!" groaned the farmer; "he has gone and spoiled It all." "We are to pet, then, and we are to save, chiefly with a view to giving. Any other kind of getting rapidly becomes extortion Any other kind of saving rapidly becomes parsimony. It Is not safe to postpone the giving till we are wealthy. "Wise giving Is a difficult art, and requires a long apprenticeship. Besides, nothing but heroic giving can keep the love cf money from growing up In our hearts. Indeed, if we do not give It U doubtful whether God will ever permit us to become rich. True, there are many wealthy men who are misers, but there are vast numbers of poor men who are stingy. God has good reasons for keeping some generous men poor, but In the main it will be found that He delights in bestowing worldly goods upen those who will use them well. AMOS R. "WELLS. In my old roles I shall appear in "Carmen" and "La Navarralse." "I'm glad to get back to Americu. I love Americans, because they lovo me; Isn't that a good reason?

Mi De Marchl. a tenor, also arrived. lie Is the newest addition to the Grau company, and will make his first appearance in "Les Huguenots." He was last in this city In lWH with the Mapleson company, singir.t; at the Academy of Music In "Les Huguenots." He was born and began his career at Milan, making hi- debut at the Theater del Varne. After two years in opera he entered a military school, was graduated and served in Africa. After his term cf service had expired he returned to Italy and sang at La Scala. Mr. Grau heard him sing last spring at Covent Garden and enR8gd him to fing Italian roles. M. De Clery is another addition to the Grsu company. He is a French baritone, who was for three years the first baritone of the Theater de la Monnaie. In Krüssels. He has also sung with the French Opera Company at Paris, and during the past season he has been with the Covent Garden Company. M. De Clery will first appear with Mm Calve in "Carmen."

They might as well make up their minds, anyway, that, so far as their womankind are concerned, they will do what tcemeth best to them, regardless. Tho other sex will look its prettiest and it will observe Its own feminine intuitive and oracular standard, in which modesty and good taste will mitml. without compromise to either. It is a crime against art for some women to wear decollete dresses. For others It approaches a contribution to civilization. John (ieorge Mcolay.

SOUTHERN NEGRO ORDERS. "Wonderfully nml Socletlen to Provide Chnrltnlile Relief. Charleston (S. C.) Letter in New York Tribune. The Southern negro's love of pomp and circumstance is nowhere exemplified moie forcibly than in the manner In which he multiplies his charitable Organization. Inordinately fond of company, he has few societies founded with the sole view of promoting social enjoyment. For the most part, whatever foundations he makes have a serni-relislous trend, the dues entitling members to sick benefits and funeral expenses. There is usually an elaborate regalia and an"intricate ritual. Net a few negroes of a Southern city, such as Charleston, belong to no le?s than a score of these orders, the names of which are oftentimts curiously and wonderfully made. What, for instance, would the ordinary patron of secret organizations think of po..-essing membership in "The Sons and Daughters of the Seven Golden Candlesticks in Charity," or in "The Sons and Daughters of 'I Will Arise?" " The sons and daughters idea is worked to the limit of endurance. There is scarcely a well-known name In biblical history that is not tacked on to it. Thire are in Charleston alone no kas thnn ieventy-five of these societies with chart rs fro;n the State of South Carolina, and how many there are that have no legal status no man mav say with confidence. Dues are raid weeklv, and, strange as it may seem when

'ame of Town above. Signature of the grtat poverty of the ncj,rro of the South is considered, the arrears lt is a brief one indeed. Of course, the charges ure small, usually about 15 cents a month, but when it is remembered that many individuals belong to six or eight or evt n more orders. It 13 little short of marvelous how the funds necessary to meet the demands of the collectois are found; and yet it is so deep a disgrace to be expelled that instances of the kind are very rare. To hold membership in a number of societies is regarded as a badge of honor. Meetings are held monthly at private residences, 111 public halls, or more frequently still in rhuiehes. These gatherings beln at the fashionable hour of 1 p. in., and continue, not infrequently, through the night. Refreshments are to be had for a small consideration, und as these are for the most part of a liquid nature the sons and daughters are pron to be conspicuous by their absence from th-ir several places of employment next morning. Often the polit e have to interlere to restore that harmony in which brothers and sisters should ever" d will together. Among the coeielb-s here are the Sons and Daughters of the i'i!grlm, the Sons and Daughters of t.- Twelve Dl-e.pUs. t lieSons and Daughters of the Hearer of the Cross, the Sons and Daughters of the Evening Star, the Sons and Daughters of the Seventh Strr. the Sons and Daughter of the VItst;al Travelers. ll.- Son- ar.d Daughters of the (lood Samaritan, the Sons and Daughters of the Hast, the Sons and Daughters of Lazarus, the Son? and Daughters of Christian Dove, and there might be added to these fully two scores ef others. The devedlou of the neg:or to the c organization ;ind tluir loyalty to their fellow-members are ubsolute. The funeral of a colonel ni-ui etr wum..ii who holds mc nibt rship in a half t'oz e of these orelers is a spectacle worth witnessing. Occasionally bitter feuds nri.ee between rival societies for the possession e)f a corpse, for the negro's love of a furural is not second even to his love of melons.

tion to the Presidency; triumphal tours through the Nation; speeches, principles and policies; assassination an d death; tribute of praise by the Nation and the world. His personal virtue, his purity of character, his honesty of motive, his patriotic purpose, his loyalty to right, his love of justice, his spirit of mercy endeared Wm. McKinley to the American people and gave him a place in their affections second only to that held by the immortal Lincoln.
