Attachment. Becoming Fewer.

The stringent rule adopted 1t the
mines, says the Virginia Chronicle,
with regard to those employees whose
wages are attached. is already product
i've of good effects. Attac hments we're
not so mer during The past
month as they have been heretofore.
This was especially noticeable at the
Ophir and bonanza mines. At the
Ophir Office as many as Is or 20 at
tachmeuts were formerly received. but
during November only eight we're re-
ceived. AT the bonanza mines, where
as many as l20 attachments have been
received in one month, the number
during November was less than
twenty.

Among the many attractions to be
seen at the ladies' fair is a waxen doll,
of life size, which, in its way. Is one OF
the most superb combination of art
and taste ever constructed. Were our
pencil accustomed to Jenkinizing, it
would certainly spread itself in an at
tempt to 90 justice to the elaborate and
gorgeous COSTUME OF said doll. A lady
attempted to explain to US the mys-
teries and ~intricacies of Its dress, and
we gathered from her remarks that the
toilet is a reproduction of the latest
fall fashions. The dress is . beautiful
silk, Of a mixed steel and lavender tint,
elaborately trimmed and box plated,
and COM rising overskirt, basque and
underskirt. Earrings, necklace and
locket, all CT pure gold, embrace the
jewelry worn. A dainty little love of
a bonnet, all feathers, ribbons and
flowers. crowns its blonde tresses, and
English walking boots IN celop the 9TH
er extremities. A peep at trim ankle
revealed the fact that striped silk hose
were also a part of the costume, and,
although not allowed to investigate, we
were assured that the balance Of the
young lady's outfit was in keeping
with that already mentioned. 1t can
be seen at Mrs. Geo. Lamoureux's
table, and will be rallied OF during the
fair.

A Word TO Merchants and Others.
We copy the following very correct
business ideas from the Carson Trib-
une: "'The man who spends more
money for store tent than he does for
advertising, doesn't understand his
business This plucky sentiment
was once expressed by the late Com
moiore Vanderbilt. Sounder words
were never spoken. He isa wise mer
chant who knows what To do and how
to do il In times of depression like
these. Waiting for more CHEEKY pros
poets does not stir the tide; such a
course only invites dust and cobwebs
into the warehouse. There is. in fact,
no such condition OF affairs as ''du'l
times;' times become dull because
business becomes stagnant. owing to
merton on the part of the merchant.
Money Is always being spent by
somebody, whether it is their own or
not. Men must work, and women
must wash'-or poesy to that effect
otherwise the world would freeze or
starve to death. The thrifty house
wife, the family man of limited income
and the provident individual. are all
cash customers-it pays to advertise
for their trade. The holidays are
coming on, so send in your advertise
ments."

The second night Of the ladies' fair
at Bigelow's Hall may b termed .
splendid success. The room was
crowded early in the evening, and,
much to the qualification of the lady
managers, the male element predomi-
mated. From our point of observation.
they seemed to be a most liberal set of
gentlemen, and responded readily to
the calls made on their e~xchequer,
which, by the way, were numerous.
The ~coaxings and pleadings Of the
seductive ladies and lasses were well
nigh irresistible. and q poor fellow
once in the tolls surrendered at discre-
ton.
The booths presented the same at
tractive features noted In yesterdays
issue, supplemented in some cases by
the addition Of various elegant articles.
The handsome doll, mentioned in an
other column, attracted much attention,
and Miss Powers, the young lady in
charge OF 1t, succeeded in disposing of
a large number Of tickets.
Dancing was inaugurated early in the
evening and kept up at intervals until
a late hour. This, to both lady and
gentlemen visitors, was one of the
most charming incidents ofthe festival,
and they entered into the spirit ofthe
dance with an abandon and zest that
proved their evident enjoyment Of the
terpsichorean part of the programme.
All of the tables, rafiies, ETC., were
well ~patronized, and the fair is a pro-
nounced triumph. Two more nights
remain during which it will be held.
and we hope our citizens will not
weary in we'll doing, but continue to
the managers in their
worthy aims and endeavors.
