IN CARPETS!

For several years the manufactures have been trying to advance the price, but were not successful. Thev have now got their heads together, and with the help of the United States goverment in the passage of the notorious McKinley bill, they have advanced price® from #ve to twenty cents a yard.

People who can arrange to purchase their Carpets within thirty days will save from 5 to 10c, a yard on JngrainB. lO to 2fc. a yard on Bodies, and 10 to 25c. a yard on Moquettes.

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

The Composition of the AwwiublyOjMtnluft Nen*Ion. TRBNTON, N. J., January 13.—The one hundred and fifteenth session of the state legislature opened at 2 o'clock today. The senate is composed of seven republicans and^'fdurteen democrats. This calculation includes Edward F. Mac* donftkl, who was* ^unseated by thelsst senate and has since b^iv^lected to congress by the Seventh district. Me

Macdonald will be givfta back hi? soalto* fore a recess is takeliufe-day, and tentative Stuhr, who took his place the last day of the last session, will be promptly bounced. His senatorial career will consequently be short lived. Macdonald will remain as senator until con(trass adjourns in March and his sticces ni.nl ordered by Governor Abbott, As organized, the he use and assembly consists of forty democrats and twenty republicans. The strength of the ruling force will be increased by one as soon as it gets a chance of swinging its tomahawk and taking the scalp of the republican member for Mercer county whose seat is contested. For the first time in a century there are very few lawyers in the senate. Usually they are particularly prominent This year the a decided premium.

VILAS WILL BE ELECTED.

Opening Session of the Wisconsin Lee^ Islatnre To-day. MADISON, Wis., January 13.—The state legislature assembled at noon to-day. For the first time in many years it is democratic in both branches. The senate ie composed of eighteen democrats and fourteen republicans, with one contested seat which will probably be given to the democrat, John Fetzer, of Door county. Of this number fifteen democrats hold over the next election, thus assuring democratic control of the senate for four years atleast In tbeiwsembly there are thirtythree republicans, sixty-six democrats and one union labor representative. On joint ballot 133 votes will be cast and the democrats will have a majority of 38, with which to elect ex-Postmaster General Vilas as the successor of John C. Spooner, in the United States senate.

James J. Hogan, of La Crosse, was elected speaker this afternoon. One of most important matters which will be acted upon during the session is the reapportionment „of the state in congressional and legislative districts. On the plan outlined by the democratic majority "Wisconsin will hereafter have an equal representation in Congress, five democrats and five republicans. The legislative re-apportionment will give the democrats again of ten to twelve the assembly and of four in the senate.

LINCOLN'S HABITS.

An Early Riser and One of the Most Abstemious of Men. The President rose early, as his sleep was light and capricious. In the summer, when he lived at the Soldiers' Home, he would take his frugal breakfast and ride into town in time to be at his desk at 8 o'clock. He began to receive visits nominally at 10 o'clock, but long before that hour struck the doors weie besieged by anxious crowds, through whom the people of importance, senators and members of Congress, elbowed their way after the fashion which stilll survives.

On days when the cabinet mot, Tuesdays and Fridays, the hour of noon closed the interviews of the morning. On other days it was the President's custom at about that hour to order the doors to be opened and all who were waiting to be admitted.

At luncheon time he had literally to run the gauntlet through the crowd who filled the corridors between his office and the rooms at the west end of the house occupied by the family. The afternoon wore away in n\uch the same way as the morning late in the day he* usually drove out lor an hour's airing at 0 o'clock he dined.

He was one of the most abstemioua ot men the pleasures of the table had few attractions for bun. His breakfast was an egg and a cup of coffee at lunch he rarely took more than a biscuit and a glass of milk, a plate of fruit in season at dinner he ate sparingly of one or two courses.

He drank little or no wine not that be remained always on principle a total abstainer, as be was a part of his earlv life in- the fervor of the ••Washiugtonian" reform but he never cared for wine or liquors of any sort, and never used tobacco.

The menu was very elaborate and the service elegant in the extreme. George Hamerstein, captain of the Mallard, with much grace and dignity officiated as master of ceremonies. Jas.

PSNCINQ FOR WOMEN.

A Simple and 1 horonjeh MMOf of B*ertUe and I*hjr»lral TraloinR.

Driving, rowing, bowling, tennis, ax( archery have year by year fallen into women's line of exercise. Each has a large and enthusiastic following, and also an area of critics, who are assured that one and all are too violent not to say unwomanly, that woman should not go beyond the toss of grace hoops, such as their grandmothers enjoyed, or battledore and shuttlecock or a quiet game ol croquet

With the athletique of the new school, these are mere A passtimes, and the use of the foils Is the latest addition to the real exercise list, writes Emma Moffett 'fyng in Harper's Bazar. If one looks at fencing free from the wrap of old re.«dices, it must be recognised as a

From the first pose and placement of position, when the right arm extends to meet or give the stroke, the left raised high at the call "En gradeP on througn the whole series of lunge, thrust and parry, there is not a moment free from absolute concentration of attention, decisive action and command of body. This is, in itself, wonderful dioipline. To quote from a distinguished master and professor of a French school now in New York "The passages pour les dames are naturally at first quite short, a few strokes and then a rest, again and again, a hall an hour each day. En fin!' Madamo is

And so it is only madame and mademoiselle must have the good sense to detirmine beforehand whether her physique be evenly balanced, and whether it be sound enough to stand the steady, gradual deveiopement as a whole, or whether there are weak points which must be guarded and brought first to a aormal condition of health.

Xite "Josrnphv" Class HMS a Hard Time. The English and Germans are mixing up the nomenclature of New Guina and the surrounding islands in a most hopeless fashion. The Germans have renamed many islands east of New Guiuea which since their discovery voars ago had borne names given to them by the Englishmen who found -them. Looking northeast through their classes awhile ago, some English explorers on a New Guinea mountain top saw two great mountains which they named Gladstone aiyi Disraeli. A while after a German explorer, looking southwest at tho same peaks, dignified them with the names of Kant and Schopenhauer. So we have on German and English maps different names for the same mountains. The geographers of the two countries should come to some agreemnnt to avoid this confusion.

Beecher's Wlrtow.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher grows more beautiful as advancing years and growing feebleness take possession of her. She sits in a beautiful bay window surrounded by birds and flowers, and dreams of the days when she and "Henry" were struggling along in a little Western village, trying to keep the pot boiling &nd the sermons written. But those were long-ago days! Now, though in comparative poverty, Mrs. Beecher has enough business engagements to keep her from actual want, and if she could fulfill one-half the orders that come to her, sha would be a rich woman. Every publishing firm in the country has asked her to write the life of her dead husband, but, owing to her poor health, she has refused them all.

She Prsfers Choppiit' to Chopin. In the backwoods of Baker's River, Ore., a young couple are engaged in clearing & homestead. As the land is not yet self sustaining the husband is obliged to go a distance to work at day wages. I a such cases the wile stays at home, her only company being a Winchester rifie and a three pound axe. After the morning housework she takes her axe and goes to clearing, chopping and burning brush. She can chop so the heart of a tree nearly as rulckly as her husband can. She is well educated, has had no et* pcrience in roughing it, but is determined to aid her husband all that she can to secure a comfortable home.

THE FARMtRS: IN SESSION.

THE INSTITUTE OPEXS AT THE COVRT BOUSE TO-DAY

Au Interesting Programme ot Exereto* and a Large Xnimber »f Farmers ta Seoston—

Kewi Abonf Tons,

The Vigo County Farmers' Institute ooened in the superior court room this morning under the auspices of Purdue University School of Agriculture. Tbe large hall was completely filled. Of course the major, portion of thdfetn attendance were farmers, but a liberal array of lawyers and business men could be distinguished in the crowd. The Ringgold orchestra occupied a place in the southwest corner of the room and interspersed the proceedings with music patriotic and poetic,. A swell of harmony risti&«qd.ji"^thc hall sounded peculiarly so, perhaps, because music and court rooms are proverbial strangers.

The proceedings opened according to programme, with prayer by Rev. J. H. urum, Judge Cyrus F. McNutt was then introduced to the assemblage as the gentleman selected to deliver the address of welcome. The judge remarked at the outset that he had not expected to speak on this occasion until within a day or so previously, and asked his hearers, therefore, to not anticipate an oration of any considerable elaborateness and finish. This apologetic preface was proved by what the judge said afterward to have been wholly unnecesary and misleading. The gentleman delivered a speech charged with a vast amount of information vital to the interests of agriculturalists and couched in language whose force and simple eloquence were the judge's own. He spoke until almost noon, when Professoi W. C. Latta, of Purdue university, responded. The remainder of the day was taken up with papers by Judge 3.8. Buckles, of Muncie, ind., on "Why Have Improved Stock on Farm by Thomas E. Bowles, of Elmdale, Ind., on "TheRearing and Selling of Horses by Prof. W. b, Blatchlev, on "Birds and Their Value to the Farm and by Professor W. B. Everman, on "The Game Laws of Indiana." At this evening's session the following programme will be rendered: aK?. OfMMU at 7:80 o'clock.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON Free fp for

Tho

Coinage *nMUon Consideration.

WASHINGTON, January IS.—Free silver coinage is in everybody's mouth just now, and its friends say that nothing can prevent the adoption by the senate of free coinage amendment to the financial bill when that measure is voted upon, and aa the voting is to begin ou Wednesday of the present week, the excitement is beginning to run quite high. It is *lso stated that the bill can bo

passed by the house, and thatS Reed has stated privately that, although personally opposed to the bill, he would not attempt to exercise his authority aa speaker to defeat it. There's no tariff ou credulity, and anybody can believe that

Reed, hsg maa* such a statement whu wishes to. The senate may, tact it ia almost certain to adopt the free coinaeu amendment, and the house may also do the same, but the foundation for believing that it will is not at all solid. It 3ii an amendment goes through th» hotifle it will first have to overcome the active opposition of Reed and some of the hardest parliamentary fighters on both sidee of the house, to say nothing of the opposition of Harrison and his administration, which has already shown itself to be a powerful factor in controlling and forcing legislation in the house, although it has f&ihxl in the senate. There are some queer tmhg8 about this financial matter, and some surprises may be in store for the cobntxy before it is settled. Senatorelect Calvin S. Brice, who is also chairtnftb of the democratic national committee, has been conferring with prominent democrats here, and it is believed that his object is to combine the democrats iu congress in favor of free coinage, which would result in killing oft Cleveland as a presidential candidate, as he is supposed to stand about where Harrison does on that subject. Another puzzling thing ia that men in both parties who are knowu to be bitterly opposed to free coinage, am as mum as clams as to what they propose doing. Only three republican senators—Sherman, Morrill and Hiscock have spoken against free coinage, and uot a single democrat has snoken againss number of them

it, although a spoken for it.

SHERMAN ON SILVER.

He A|ieaks Against the Contraction Atlver Amendment. WASHINGTON, January 13.—In tho senate a bill passed providing for a public building at Joliet, 111. A long discussion occurred on the measure providing for the transfer of retired army officers from the limited to tho unlimited list passed. Sherman then befpiu against the contraction

bill. He said after careful study and consideration his views of amendment were unchanged. It provides for the payment of $1.29 for every ounce of silver offered in Any part of tho world. There are $380,000,000 of silver in sight, and the payment is optional with sellers whether it be certificates or coin. The market price of silver is hue $1.05 per ounce, being higher than in London, China or Mexico. The government must pay 24 cents per ounce more than the market price. This bill will tend to change the value of all the pioperty in the United States ami eventually demon!tiae gold. The cost of producing one ounce ot silver is a trills over 50 cents, leaving a profit when sold to the government of 150 per cent.

Autienoz,

the Chilian minister, in au interview with a representative of the preas news to-day was asked to state the fact ol tlw recent trouble in Chili to prevent farther misconception. He acknowledged that thefe had bees public disturbance in Valparaiso but denies it wm of a revolutionary character or thsC tbere had been any fighting in the stives. Tbe trouble grew out of a protest again*® the illegality of the collection of certain taxes which had not been sanctioned bv congHsw. In tbe disorder which followed and which was quickly suppressed, tbe army took side with the government, and of the navy only three shit* out of thirty-one took part with tho ooo-osition.
