Nothing small about Chicago. The

claim that the Chicago customs house

need of precautions against its intro

been serious interference with the

Mr. Asquith once referred to the gov

Ingenuity of the reporter, appeared as
a "double eye in the shape of half a
tooth." Lord Russell, the then Canon
of Windsor, had been trying, he said,
for forty years to cure drunkards by
making them drink in moderation; the
local newspaper had it that he had been

Olll-llANS DAT.
To-day is Orphans' Day, and Or
phans' Day Is one of tho beat days
New Haven has, for It is a day of
pity and generosity. The heeds of the
fatherless and motherless appeal to
kind hearts in a special way; and those
who are troubled about "Indiscriminate
charity" have no misgivings about
helping tho orphans. Great pains are
taken every year by the unselfish and
hard-working collectors to keep the col
lections up ta the standard, and it is
to their credit and the credit of New
Haven's generous ones that such suc
cess is attained. To-day should not be
and will not be an exception to the
general rule. All who can give should
give, and give as freely as possible.
All that is given is carefully and eco
nomically used, and there is no dan
ger that the orphans will live too well
or have too good a time. Help them
to at least live and have some of the
comfort and enjoyment that belongs
to childhood.

The Low boom continues to do well,
and its friends and pushers are great
ly encouraged. Some of them are pre
dicting tidal waves, cyclones, land
slides, etc., etc., in favor of their candi
date. A reasonable view of the situa
tion is that of the Brooklyn Eagle,
which says: Unless all present signs
are false and unless the convictions of
all sane observers are delusions, the
race is between Seth Low and R, A.
Van "Wyck, and one or the other of
them will be the first mayor of Greater
New York. The growth of the Low
movement has been the surprise and
the sensation of the canvass which now
enters on its last week. It has taken
hold of the people with a fierceness of
fascination not unlike that for Grover
Cleveland in 1892. It has proved infec
tious and has become tremendously
formidable. The drift of correspond
ence, the tests of informal voting, the
secret polls of businesses and of the
marts and of the exchanges, the de
notements of home, church, club and
general life unite to show that the can
vass is fining down to a contest be
tween Low and "Van Wyck, with the
other candidates as mere factors or
victims of depletion.
Perhaps this view doesn't take
enough account of Henry George, but
the indications that Low is rapidly
gaining are plain.
A. NEW-OlI FAItTr.
The new party that has appropriately
been born In the windy city calls itself
the national money party. Its noble
aim is to shut up the mints entirely
and permanently, stop the coinage of
gold and silver, stop the issuing of
bank notes, and Inaugurate a millen
nium of Irredeemable paper dollars
printed by the government and made a
legal tender for- everything by act of
congress. It disclaims any wish to dis
turb vested rights, to drive out of cir
culation the gold and silver already
coined and the banknotes already is
sued, or to confiscate property. "We
would not," its founders say in their
declaration of principles, "prevent any
person from accumulating all tho
wealth that it is possible to honestly
accumulate, but we would,, in the fu
ture, make and use only national paper
money which would give the poorest
man an equal opportunity with the
richest to accumulate wealth according
to the merits of each." They tell the
reporters that they have adherents in
a number of States, that the party is
growing and that Professor Caton,
Henry George, Tom Johnson and others
are taking an interest in it.
Money which would give the poorest
man an equal opportunity with the
richest to accumulate wealth according
to the merits of each would indeed be
fine money.
OUll MAItKKTS TO BE JiXLAKOlin,
Much is expected, and reasonably ex.
pected, of the reciprocity treaties which
are soon to be made with the countries
south of us. The possibilities in the
way of larger markets for our products
in the South American countries, to be
secured through such treaties, are a
revelation to those who have not stud
ied the statistics of South American
trade close enough to know where these
countries have been buying their goods
during the past decade. The popular
impression that Mexico, for instance,
is buying more goods of Great Britain
and Germany than it is buying of the
United States is an error. In 1896 our
exports to Mexico were $19,450,256, an
increase of $12,079,657 over 1885. The
imports from Mexico were $17,456,177,
an increase of $8,189,156. The United
States sells Mexico over two and a half
times as much and buys from that
country nearly twice as much as eleven
years ago. Our sales to Mexico are
now more than the aggregate of Great
Britain, France and Germany, whose
exports foot up $16,345,315 for 1895, show
ing a direct falling off of $4,363,474 since
1885. Ten years ago France sold Mex.
ico $13,500,000 of goods, while in 1895
the exports to Mexico dropped to $5,
500,000.
Last year our exports to the Central
American countries of British Hondu
ras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras
Nicaragua and Salvador amounted to
$8,416,495, showing an increase in sales
of $5,126,116 over tfie previous year.
It is natural and fitting that we
should have the Central and South
American trade. And we shall soon
have more of it than we have had.
FASHION SOWS,
Itetl Come to Stay.
Ox blood red is a color that is found
in many fine new stuffs, and a proof of
the durability of its fashlonableness
comes in Its appearance in fur-trimmed
garments for winter. Thus used it has
a very swagger look, and is in the more
expensive lines of garments. Yet it can
be so used that a small supply of fur
will make a goodly show. It combines
handsomely with Persian lamb and
with black astrakan. Wide collar, cuffs
and a belt of the fur, the latter fitted in
bodice fashion and finished with a cen
ter girdle of metal, make a very good
showing of the fur, which, though it
may not add materially to the warmth
of the garment, gives a cosy look that
makes other folk warmer if not the
wearer.
These points add value to goods of
this color, even though it is not intend
ed to have them made up with fur, be
cause they insure to the shade a longer
acceptance than is usual with bright
colors. Here is a dress composed of
broadcloth of that shade, and trimmed,
at the hem of the skirt, with two rows
of black velvet ribbon. The odd bodice
had a deep yoke in front, covered with
bands of black silk braid, and in the
lower part was gathered in surplice
fashion. The sleeves were tight to the
shoulder, where came larger puffs than
would be safe on anything less than an
unusual model of bodice. A band of
velvet and a ruflle of the goods trimmed
them between Bhoulder and elbow, and
chiffon ruchlng finished sleeves and vel
vet collar. The belt, too, was black
velvet, and above It was a novel chiffon
drapery.
So many new furs are in the shops
that the reign of special ones must be
over. Time was when a fur coat meant
a sealskin, a sealskin meant a lot of
money, and that meant that most of us
didn't have a fur coat. But now there
is no especial distinction about seal,
and the imitation furs are so beautiful.
they wear so well and are so much
more reasonable in price that the only
regret about them Is that they suffer
under the Ignominy of trying to pre
tend themselves seal. The new furs
are not open to such Imputation. You'll
find them In the shops by all sorts of
names. Translated, no doubt many of
them would spell bow-bow or mieuw,
but they are pretty and new, and will
readily find purchasers.

Mr. Bixby Will Try No More Puzzles
on His Wife.
There was nothing special to take
Bixby down town the other night, so
he decided to stay at home and give
Mrs. Bixby the rare treat of his com
pany for the evening.
While glancing over the paper, as she
sat sewing, Bixby thought how happy
the must be at being allowed to bask
in his presence, and later on, in a burst
of amiable generosity, he decided to
bestow upon her an intellectual treat.
He had, after reading the advertise
ments, cast his eye upon the puzzle col
umn of the paper, and tho thought was
born in him to spring upon her a puz
zlo originated in his own head.
After long study he concluded to in
vent an enigma. He decided upon the
word "Poe," an easy one, suited to Mrs.
Bexby's feminine and therefore feeble
perceptions. The enigma was to recite
three words in which the letters of the
name are found and to wind up with
"My whole is a well-known poet."
"Clara," said Mr. Bixby, suddenly
and explosively.
Mrs. Bixby started out of her dreamy
state of mind and almost dropped her
sewing.
"What it is, dear?" she asked.
"I have three letters," said Bixby,
distinctly and impressively. "My first
is in 'pocket,' but not in 'box;' my"
"Josiah Bixby," said Mrs. Bixby,
sternly fixing him with her eye, "of all
the thoughtless, careless, neglectful, in
considerate men I ever saw you are the
worst. One of 'em's that letter to
mamma I gave you to mail last Friday
asking her to see Aunt Susan and get
that skirt pattern I loaned her last
week and a copy of that recipe for
cough syrup that did Johnny so much
good, and to come up and stay a week
or two with us, as I need her assist

room, as they are faded and not fit to

hind her back and make remarks about
her that you never would do if you had
any love for your wife and I'll be bound
one of them is that letter I wrote that
New York agency that offers ten dol
lars a day for work in your own home
samples free, though I'm sure you'd
never give me any credit for trying to
earn money and help you along, and
the other one is the letter I wrote to my
old schoolmate Jennie Armstrong, who
hinted she was going to come and see
us, and I told her that we were unde
cided about moving, yet the sly deceit

scraping and saving to try and help-r-"
Bixby jumped out of his chair, threw
his paper at the lamp, Jammed his hat
on, and shouted:

at the airship. When you recover your
senses, madam, I will return." San

HIGH PRICE FOR DITTO.
Housewife's Experience in Getting the
Ingredients of a Jar of Chow-Chow.
What is the power of a ditto mark?
A nice housekeeper in this city knows
more about it than she did once.
This is the time of year when mus
tard, cloves, cassia, bell peppers, vin
egar and the other fixings that go with
cucumbers, tomatoes, cauliflower, but
ton onions, celery, etc., are seething in
the pot and the pickle Jar is yawning
with open mouth to receive them. A
good recipe for mixed pickles or chow
chow Is at a premium just now. The
lady referred to above had a recipe
for chow-chow which ran something
like this: Cauliflower, three heads;
button onions, two quarts; small cu
cumbers, two quarts; bell peppers, six;
celery seed, one ounce; white mustard
seed, one ounce; curcuma seed, one
ounce, and so on.
Now everything went well until she
asked her grocery man to bring these
materials to her. He said he got eve
rything ail right until he struck curcu
ma seed. The druggist, when he got
the rest of the things, said he didn't
keep curcuma seeds. "Never mind,"
said she, "I'll get those myself the next
time I go up town,"
Accordingly, she soon called on a
leading druggist for curcuma seeds, one
ounce, holding the recipe in her hand
and reading from it. He blandly said
he never had a call for them before,
but would order some and have them
in a day or two. She waited a proper
length of time and called again. The
druggist referred to his bill and read a
foot-note which said: "None in this
city; will try Boston.'.' Boston could
not furnish them, but would try New
York. New York responded: "Can't
find; would probably cost a dollar or
more an ounce, if obtainable."
Not long after her husband dropped
into another drug store one evening,
and the conversation was running on
the expensiveness of some kinds "of
drugs, and he Joined in with a bit of
his wife's experience on curcuma seeds.
The druggist listened intently to the
yarn and said quietly, "There must be
some mistake about this it is not cur
cuma seeds that you want it is curcu
ma, ground curcuma. I sell lots of It
every day for coloring chow-chow- yel
low." "I don't care," said he, "the recipe
reads:
Celery seed, one ounce.
Curcuma " "
"I've read it a dozen times, and if
those ditto marks don't call for curcu
ma seeds then I don't know how to
read English."
So the pursuit of curcuma seed was
dropppd, and he carried home some
ground curcuma, and his wife made
the chow-chow and it was lovely.
Now the point of this is that the cur
cuma root is the part used. It grows
in China, Japan, Ceylon and East In
dia countries in general, and is an in
gredient in the famous "curry powder"
of the Orient. When it is dried it has
a taste like ginger root and is con
sumed in great quantities by the na
tives of the countries where it grows as
a condiment. It is perfectly harmless
and is used entirely in this country to
give the bright yellow color to chow
chow and pickles In general. It is a
tuberous plant and is wholly propaga
ted from the root, which makes Jt un
necessary to have the seeds, which are
few and entirely useless. This is why
