Kew York City.?Every form of Un .loose blouse or jersey is beiug wor; this season, and this dress is just fan cy enough to be becoming and attnic tive without losing its simplicity. Ii the illustration it is made of rose col ored serge with trimming of bands o: silk, but T\;hile serge is a favorite foi dresses of the sort, cashmere also is being much used, plaid, checked and other fancy materials are greatly in vogue, and there are, indeed, almost numberless suitable fabrics from which to choose. White serge with trimming of handsome braid and yoke of silk would be charming, the dress j11net?t^ io -laintv or>H mrcttv whiU the same model made from navy blue serge with trimming of black braid would become adapted to hardei usage, and the pattern suits all equally well. The dress is made with the body lining, to which the straight pleated flounce is attached and in which the sleeves are inserted. The blouse consists of front and back portions, that are held by straps beneath the arms. The quantity of material required for the medium size (ten years) is six and three-eighth yards twentyfour or twenty-seven, four and threeeighth yards thirty-two or three and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide, with eight yards of banding. Exclusive Bonnet Material. Exquisite Irish and baby Irish lace mounted on a soft foundation of white mousseline de soie is among the newest combinations employed for covering hats and bonnets for the little ones. A rather large Kate Greeraway hat of baby Irish lace was trimmed with a soft twist of brilliant silver gauze, caught with a little bunch of silver lilies of the valley, while a little Dutch cap was decorated with narrow bands of ermine drawn through antiquesilver buckles. The Pleated Frill. We have indeed returned to the days of the pleated frill. Nearly every blouse of the chic Parisienne is fnishsd at the wrists with frills so deep that only the rosy tips of the fingers peep out from under them; and, if the opening in front is not concealed by a jabot, then a similar pleating must be worn down' the front facing towards the left. The pleatings are made of the same ma nry /wvcs 3 Fad to Carry the (ilovcs. J The latest whim of the Parisian fci; carrying tho evening gloves in tb?l " hand instead of wearing them. Ring*: 1 have grown to such large size and ar^ ' so numerous that the wearing oi gloves becomes a question and tlia ' result is their banishment. Gokl-BIack Moire. Speaking of shot moire, one of the very handsomest examples shows a woof of metal gold threads. This is unseen from certain positions, and , gleams oat a sheet of gold in others, i It is liked for millinery and costs $4 [ a yard. Quaint additions to some of i the most original gowns are the i square patch pockets which are placed on each side of the front and are carried out in elaborate embroidery to match the trimming. Skirt With Pointed Tunic. Every variation of the tunic skirt is i being worn this season, and here is ! one that is graceful in the extreme : while nerfectly simple. It is adapted ! to all the fashionable soft materials, , for they all drape successfully, and it. i can be utilized for one throughout or | for combinations as liked. The triple j box pleat at the back gives the long | lines that are so desirable, and be- j neath the tunic is a circular liounce I attached to a foundation. In this case j the entire skirt is made from one of j the beautiful new soft silk crepe ma- I terials with a band of moire edging the tunic. Tunics are being exten- j sively made from chiffon, jetted nets ! and materials of the sort over skirts of chiffon or of silk, however, and i again such combinationsas crepe "with ; satin, crepe with velvet and silk with i heavier materials are greatly in i vogue. For the trimming any pretty i banding is appropriate. J > The skirt is made with a foundas tion which is cut in five gores and the > circular flounce that is attached to it > [ The tunic and the long box pleat are joined one to the other and arranged - over the foundation. When the skirf is made with a girdle the foundation is cut slightly above the waist line I and the girdle is draped over it. . When the belt is desired the founda- j . tion is cut off and joined to the belt. ' The quantity of material required | for the medium size is seven and three-quarter yards twenty-four or , i twenty-seven, seven yards thirty-two i ml /U ' or fiv? and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide, one yard twenty-seven inches wide for the band, width oi skirt at lower edge three and three BITTER WAR ON INTEMPERANCE SOLDIFRS FIGHTING THIS CURSE , GREATLY CHEERED. Accidents and Drink. After recapitulating the striking statistics on the subject of railway accidents caused lry drink collected by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and relating some facts showing iha Qtotn of nhv-iical and mental strain to which trainmen are sub- I jected, Dr. H. O. Marcy, of Boston, | writes: "Until the very recant past, the. I medical profession believed and | taught and the great public religiously accepted as orthodox, the advan- j tages to be derived from the use of j alcoholic. beverag:es. "Every individual subject to special strain, either mental or physical, consciously believed that the difficult or i dangerous period might be tided over tvith much greater safety by the use ( of alcohol in some form. "Twenty-five years ago the engineer and fireman upon & train, subject to their long hours of exnosure on duty, o'tontimes demanded for a whole twenty-four hours of service without sleep?kept the bottle handy in the cab i'or conscientious use. This was approved of by the authorities as beneficial to the men and adding safety to the trains in transit. "Since it has been clearly < shown, and that by unprejudiced observers in different parta of the world, that j alcohol, oven in moderate o.uantities, lessens the functions or an cue senses, j For- example, the soldier cannot | march so far, or have as many hours i In the year of able service, when per- | milted to take, even in moderation, | alcohol. "The railroad service in Germany Is a semi-military organization, and therefore is more easily under discipline and control. The Prussian railway management has issued orders forbidding any engine driver, switchman or dispatcher all use of beers or Bpirits when on duty. "The order closes with the statement that total abstainers will be given preference in the matter of j promotion and permancncy ot em- i ployment. The sub-officers of divisions have issued more stringent rules, requiring total abstinence of all persons holding responsible positions, stating that no one need apply unless his character as a temperate man j can be sustained. . "Dr. Ennis, of the University ot ' F-Teidelberg, has declared that over fifty per cent, of all accidents occur ring on the German railroads are due to the bewilderment of the operatives who have used stimulants, and if total abstainers were employed, the exnense of managing the road could be reduced very greatiy. Such action Is fundamental and far-reaching, since, for generations, the German has conscientiously believed that his beer was advantageous in the development and strengthening of both his mental and physical poters."' Four Good Reasons. Rev. Dr. Thomas Guthrie gave these four reasons for being a total , abstainer: "First, my health is stronger: second, my head is clearer; third, my heart is lighter: fourth, my purse is heavier." Let every young man who reads these lines adopt this i principle and live by it, and his life will be happier and his soul safer. There ,is here an argument for a strong body, one that should hold a place in t^e ambition of every young man. There is here the argument of j a clear brain, which no man, young j or old, can neglect and make success- I ful headway against the competitions oi ill lb age. j\ ciear uiaiu is tis> uctco- . sary as a strong body. There is her? j the argument of a light and joyous heart. While trouble 'will come to the abstainer as it must to all mankind, yet none of those ills which flow from the intoxicating cup will be his: none of those sullen and melancholy hours which follow in the -wake of the bacchanal. He will awake from his slumber to greet the dawn of each new day free from the humiliation of the past night and the mem- ! ories of his dishonor. There is the j argument of a full purse. You can- j not empty your money into the sa- > loonkeeper's wallet and keep it in your own. If you supply his, yours must go empty. Many a magnificent fortune has been dissolved in the wine cup, and if you are weak enough to indulge, you are too^weak to avoid the consequences of y;. indulgence, i ?United Presbyterian. Run the Next Mill by Water. A popular temperance advocate 1 told a pointed story the other day. A minister met an acquaintance, who was formerly a prosperous young business man. but whose habits of drinking resulted in ruin, though he has reformed and is trying to do bet- . ter. "Row are you?" said the minister, j "Pretty well, thank yoj: 'nit I've j just been to a doctor to have him look j at my throat." "What's the matter?" "Well, the doctor couldn't give any 1 encouragement; at least, he couldn't find what I wanted him to find." "What did you expect, him to find?" "I asked him to look down my 1 throat for the sawmill and farm that had gone down there." "And did he see anything of them?" I "No. But he advised me if I ever ert qnothfr mill tn run it bv water."

The right time to overhaul, any farm machinery is just vh-ju the son is over and before it is stowed away. There are several reasons for this. Take the binder for Instance, after it has finished the harvest. All its weak points are fresh in mind and every place that needs repairing is known. If left until just before it is to be used next season these things will be forgotten and harvest may be delayed until repairs are made that could as well have been done before. Wherein They Differ.

The Radium Institute of Heidel berg, to be opened before the end of the year, will be the first of its kind begin actual work, as an endowment has been raised for it Don't Some people swell up on "emotion" brewed from absolute untruth. It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facts and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers et al. sneer at, spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts were trying to deprive them of free speech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opinions freely in this country and no court will object, but they cannot be allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the .bucks oiove Co., drive its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that hard earned money of men who worked had been invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods (efforts to break the firm that won't come under trust rule), but instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them in such destructive and tyrannous acts as they may desire to do. * * * The reason Gompers and his band persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the stove company insisted on the right to keep some old employes at work when "de union" ordered them discharged and some of "de gang" put in. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. 9 Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union and, the demand being refused, should institute a boycott against that union, publish its name in an "unfair list," instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made to that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and wreck the works, and even murder a few members of the boycotted union to teach them they must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" It would certainly be fair for the company to do these things if lawful for the Labor Trust to do them. In such a case, under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and trying to ruin these union men. Suppose thereupon the company should ( sneer at the court and in open dennntinno thfi linlnwflll ?r?ts in ! a persistent, carefully laid out plan, purposely intended to ruin the union ' and force its members into poverty. 1 What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts pro- ' tect them and punish their law-break- < ing oppressors. Then they would ' praise the courts and go on earning a ' living protected from ruin and happy in the knowledge that the people's 1 courts could defend them. < How could any of us receive protection from law-breakers unless the < courts have power to, and do punish 1 such men. 1 The court is placed in position 1 where it must do one thing or the ' [>ther?punish men who persist in de- 1 fying its peace orders or go out of I service, let anarchy reign and the < more powerful destroy the weaker. 1 Peaceable citizens sustain the i rov.rts as their defenders, whereas i in-lfciVtJS, lui'gtiia, uui glen o, tiuuns ui ? all kinds and violent members of la- t lior unions, hate them and threaten 1 violence if their members are pun- > ished for breaking the law. They t want the courts to let them go free z inrl at the same time- demand pnnish- r went for other men 'outside de f union" when the/ break the law. s * * * Notice the above reference is to ''violent" members of labor f inions.

Said methods have consequences which are abhorrent to the law-abiding people of Canada involving hunger, misery, riot, bloodshed and murder, all of which might be termed a result of the practical war now in progress in our fair province and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America."

Washington, D.C., Nov. 10.?Characterizing the attitude of Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor in the contempt proceedings in the courts of the District of Columbia, in connection with the Bucks Stove and Range Company, as "a i willful, premeditated violation of the law," Simon Burns, general master workman of the general assembly, Knights of Labor, has voiced a severe condemnation of these three leaders. Mr. Burns expressed his confidence in courts In general and in those of the District of Columbia in particular. AITBOVED BY DELEGATES. This rebuke by Burns was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty approval of the delegates who heard it read at their annual meeting in this city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws oftener than do the trust labor organizations, which resort to more dishonest, unfair and dishonorable methods toward their competitors than any trust or combinations in the country." Mr. Burns said the action of "these i so-called leaders" would be harmful ? for years to come whenever attempts : svere made to obtain labor legisla- : tion.

"That his long leadership and this apparent impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him imagine that he is much greater a man than he really is, is undoubtedly the case, and accounts for the tactics he has adopted in dealing with questions before Congress, where he has unnecessarily antagonized men to whom organized labor must look for recognition of their demands, and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otherwise receive support. "There is no doubt but what organized labor in this country would be much stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to the front the new policies which organized labor must adopt if it expects to even maintain its present standing, to say nothing of making future progress." We quote portions of another article, a reprint, from the same labor paper: "Organized labor, through its leaders, must recognize the mistakes of the past if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the movement which they head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any time since history began. "It Can be said in extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they occupy as leaders has had a tendency to ~ -J/vU* cause uieiu IU luse S>I?IIL ui tuc vjujuti behiJjd the organization. The natural instinct in man for power and position is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders, not necessarily in labor unions alone, but in every branch of society. This desire for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere in their efforts in the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whose every act and utterance is tinged with the desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority iu the societies or organizations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to the present leaders of the Federation. We mention the Federation of Labor! particularly in this artic'e because | that organization is the only organi- i nation of labor which has yet found itself in direct opposition to the laws of the land. There are other organizations of labor whose leaders have made mistakes, but they have always kept themselves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every Dther man in considering the rights 3f themselves and their constituency; ivherens, the motto of the Federation is .just the reverse, and unless the leaders conform themselves and their jrganization in accordance with the aws of the land, the leaders and the srganization itself must be disintegrated and pass into history, for in \merica the common sense in raaucind is developed to a greater extent .han in any other nation on the earth, lud the people, who are the court of ast resort in this country, will never illow any system to develop in this :ountry which does cot meet with the ipproval of the majority of the citi:ens of the country.

Now the Labor Trust leaders demand of Congress that the courts be strinned of power to issue injunctions to prevent them from assaulting or perhaps murdering men who dare earn a living when ordered by the Labor Trust to.quit work. Don't "weep at the Ice House" and don't permit any set of law-breakera to bully our courts, if your voice and vote can prevent.
