A Conference with President-E Harrison on the Subject. A special telegram to the Philadelphia Times from Indianapolis, says that Governor-elect Millette of the proposed state of South Dak and Delegate Gifford, of the territory of I kota, met in that city yesterday afternoon by appointment with the President-elect, and had aconference with him that lasted for three hours. The object of the visiting statesmen was to urge upon Mr. Harrison the necessity of calling an extra session of Congress immedi- ately after his inauguration and recommending the admission of South: hood of states. the coming session of Congress could not be expected to consider the matter, and that if he waited till the regular session of December, ld hare 1 the admission a would thus be de longer than wow! led te af 1889, the necessary legislation eo performed before January, Of the territory as ‘The fact that Gen ewe illing ear to their app: d in so far a piscton could payed grader. at present they | were not mistaken.

He said t he would doubtless call the Senate together for the transaction of executive business, but he would not make any positive promises regard- ing the House. In conclusion. he requested Gov. Millette to carry to the people of Dakota his very best wishes and to say to them that had seen no reason since his retirement from the Senate to change his views regarding their rights to a place in the union of states. illette and Gifford were both very much eased with the result of the conference and think that Gen. Harrison gave them allt encouragement he could under the um stances. They feel that he will call a special meeting and that Dakota will be admitted to the Union before the next administr six mouths old. s soe - So English, You Know.

While riding over the field he discovered a soldier concealed ina hole in the ground, which was of just sufficient dimensions to afford him shelter. The gene rode up to him, inquired as to his regiment. und ordered him to join it atonce. The man looked him fuil in the fz Placed his thumb upon his ose, and replie ‘Oh, no you don't, old fellow!

The woman was a prostitute of the lowest order, She suffered only a slight abrasion of the skin on her throat, and the police finally concluded that she inflicted the injury herself while she was drunk. The principal reason given by the police for their belief that the alleged attempted murder | was not the work of the real Whitechapel fiend is the fact that both the would-be murderer and his intended victim drank themselves into a state of gross inebriety, ndition that the perpetrator of the previous crimes was obvi. ously free from, and then went to an ordinary lodging house, at the door of which a govern ment inspector is always in attendance, This circumstance, together with the fact that the time of attempting to kill the woman was as ill-judged with reference to the escape of the murderer as the place. induces the belief that the whole business was simply to create a sen- sation, = eee, The Eyes of a Doll. From the N. ¥. Graphic, Dr. Mackenzie givesan interesting incident in connection with the manufacture of doil’s eyes. Years ago an English glassmaker named | examined before a committee of the house of commons. testified that, having received an order from France fora large quan- tity of the best dolls’ eyes, he was unable to fill it. On inquiry be found that there w: one man at that time in the world a doll’s eye with the iris on it. dissipated glassblower, who ne kind of work, for which he obtained rices, until he was utterly penniless in the last stage of consumption, and Mr. Osler paid him £50 for his secret. The process was so simple that in five minutes Mr. Osler, with the aid of a gas-light and a blow pipe, was able to make as good a “natural eye” as his teacher. Mr. Osler concluded that part of his evidence y stating that he subsequently received an order for “natural eyes” to the extent of £2.- 500, and that he grew rich by manufacturing them. When he retired from business he gave a dinner to his rivals in the trade, and before they separated showed them how to make the eves. The commonest dolls’ eyes now bring | about $4.25 for twelve dozen pair, while the best, or “natural eyes,” can be had for about eight cents a pair. ‘The speaking doll was invented by a London workman, who experimented upon it for nine years. [t said “papa” and “mamma” ina very | natural way. They brought #32 each, and the price is not much lower now, Since then other nical dolls have been invented, very at- tractive in their novelty, but beyond the means rs. There are no less than forty doll manufeectories in London, and almost asmany in New York and the New England states. There are secondary industries in the | trade, such as the manufactiire of doils’ gloves, gaiters, costumes, fans, parasols, carriages, Hammock &e., all of which must be kept in stock. r di From the New York Sun, t is a good thing to see,” a Scotchman said beginning to use peasemeal in their diet, and that it can now be bought in some of the shops of this city.

Costumes for W From the New York World, Now, that the melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year, when women who haven't carriages are liable to get their skirt edges damp in this city, where they have more good weather overhead and bad weather under- foot than in any of the great metropolises of the world, it bchooves them to study the ques- tion of what to wear on wet days. Of course. there are lots of women who are superior to the freaks of the barometer, with a carriage always waiting for them ten steps from any door they emerge from, but there are a great many more who can't afford that luxury every time it rains, and some who could but have too much regard for their health and com- plexion to forbear from walking every time itis wet underfoot, which is more frequent nsorts with any regular exercise, | Nothing eny one can do will make it altogether [ ant to walk on wet pavements with skirts, but there are means of alleviating the incon- venience of being a woman in bad weather. Mrs. Amelie Rives-Chanler at home in her Virginia woods never stays indoors on the very worst days if she feels one of her strong ercise. She wears on such occasions stout seal- with wide, soles, Over these she buckles a pair of heavy, dark red-leather leggings, which reach above the knee. Her skirt is of bie corduroy and barely falls to the calf. The bodice is a Norfolk jacket of the corduroy, with a scarlet handkerchief knotted close about the throat, On her head she wears a blue wool Tam o'Shanter that sheds water like the back of a duck, and encasing her hands in wash-leather gauntlets she is prepared to face just such “brown storms” and “slithhering gales’¥as she describes in her stories, But this will only do for Virginia woods and something rather sim- ler and more conventional is required for the Ke York horse cars. Miss Maria Parloa al- ways wears on a very bad day a dark print gown and cloak, which, while long enongh to nide the calico. vet escapes the ground by a good 3 inches, ares that she can never keep her skirts absolutely free from contami- nation, and so she would rather wear one which can go right into the wash-tub when she gets home and be perfectly cleansed. For this reason the dress is made very simple, with a gathered waist, a fuli skirt, with deep hem and a number of tucks and without either ruiiles or drapery. Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell, one of the commissioners of charity, is forever going in and ont, to and fro, on her errands of mercy, heavy bad walking. She wears a plain cashmere gown, either black or dark gray, and it too is made only with a hem and tucks for its trim- ming. Half an inch on the outer side of the hem is sewed a strip of rubber cloth, of the unpolished sort and of exactly the same shade as the dress, This is doubled over underne and faces the inside of the skirt for a distanc up of nearly a foot. No matter how’ bad the walking or how wet the skirt's edge may be- come, a damp cloth to wipe it off with when she comes home makes cverything right. She wears a little bonhet of black felt, ‘trimmed only withaknot of ribbons, and it doesn’t make a great difference in its looks even if it does get wet. Her feet are encased in ordinary over-shoes, but above these she buttons on a pair of gaiters made of the same dull-faced rubber cioth, and so her stockings and shoe- tops are never ruined by the lapping of wet skirts against them, Actresses have a pretty unpleasant time of it in bad weather with i exorable rehearsals to attend and the agrees of being on hand before $ o’clock‘even thoug! it be raining the proverbial cats and dogs. Most of them have adopted Rosina Vokes’ in- vention of .a divided skirt, which is a vast im- ovement over Lady Habberton’s device. this affair of Miss Vokes’ consists of a broad pair of silk trousers reaching straight to the ankles and et ed hemmed. A full knit plait- ing is set on all round each leg of the trousers, reaching to theknee. Another one of the samo sort is set on the thigh, slightly overlapping the lower one. A long scarf of drapery is knotted around the hips, and not one in a hundred would ever suspect that the wearer was not inhabiting an ordinary skirt, made a little bit short. it ‘af burial of dist | natural to lock LAND’S GREAT DEAD. A Proposed Annex to Westminster Ab- bey. From the London Daily Telegraph. A correspondent writes that a proposal has been made, and is likely to take practical shape, for providing a “Campo Santo” close to the abbey for the scpulchres and memorials of our great dead; in which case no further in- terments would be permitted in the abbey itself. The reason for this step being consid- ered advisable is that not more than fifteen or twenty burials can possibly stake place there for mere want of space. As Togards statues, there isroom for at most three more—one in the northern transept, another near the the west door as» pendant to Lord Shaftes- bury’s, and the third elsewhere. Two busts only can now be added; and it has been neces- sary to place Mr. Forster's memorial, the most recently set up, ont of the way in the northern Mr. Faweett's, baptistery, and it is impossii ties of the work. | while Matthew Arnold's bust will probably tind anot very prominent position, These incon- sistencies, it is pointed out, are due to want of room.

From the New York Graphic. How differently men and women indulge themselves in what is called a resting-spell, “I guess I'll sit down and mend these stockings and rest awhile,” says the wife, but her hus- band throws himself upon the easy lounge or sits back in his arm-chair, with hands at rest and feet placed horizontally upon another | chair. The result is that his whole body guins | full benefit of the half hour If allows binnself | from work, and the wife only receives that in- diregt help which comes from change of oceu- | pation. A physician would tell ker that taking even ten minutes’ rest in a horizontal position, as a change from standing or sitting at work, would prove more beneficial to her then any of her makeshifts at resting. Buay women have a habit of keeping on their feet just as long as they can, in spite of backaches and warning pains, As they grow older they see the folly of ermitting such drafts upon their strength and learn to tuke things easier, let what will hap- pen. They say, “S used’ to think I must do | thus and so, but I've grown wiser and learned to slight things.” The first years of house- keeping are truly the hardest. for untried and unfamiliar cares are almost daily thrust upon the mother and home-maker. “Where are you eee Levi P.

When Mr. Morton was here | States. asamember of the House he occupied the ‘Hooper house, on the northwest corner of 15th and H streets. This was an old-fashioned but roomy house, and was the scene of many ele- it entertainments. Mr. Morton owned the use, and having acquired the property ad- joining he began the erection of a e eight st ay ent house, which is now nearing completion. It isnot known definitely what Mr. Morton's plans are in regard to resi- dence in this city, but it is suppoged by some that he will occupy a suite of roomsin ent house. The first floor has LADIES’ GOODS. INNIE LYNCH, FORMERLY OF ST.
