Lost Baggage,
Detroit Free Press.


Down in the Union depot thcro are
n thousand carpet.bags, satchels, grab
bags, and parcels piled up ON shelves
to await owners. The collection is
known as stray baggage, and it is
added to or taken from almost daily.
The man who has charge of il knows
pretty well the contents of each, and
what he doesn't know he can guess
at. Yesterday, when woman en-
tered his domain and said she was

A True Cause for Regret,

1t makes the heart OF every philan-
thropist sad to see so many worthless
patent medicines pulled and advertised
!or the cure OF chronic diseases. Usual
ly the remedy is some vile csthartic
compound or alcoholic preparation COM
bined with buCbu, turpentine or other
severe diuretic that affords the invalid
only temporary relief, but which has no
lasting effect, and IN truth eventually
brings on q complication of diseases
arising from state OF wornout and ex-
hausted digestive and urinary organs
that nothing but death can relieve.
Invalids should trust more to
nature for their recovery. A gentle
medicinal tonic that stimulates enfee-
bled digestion and strengthens every
part of the system by its soothing and
refreshing effect on both mind anu body,
is natures truest and best assistant.
Such remedy is Browns Iron Bitters,
q medicine surprising the sale OF all
other remedies whenever its merits be-
come known, for It acts in such perfect
harmony with the laws OF life and health,
that all pulmonary, urinary and diges-
tive troubles are prevented and perma-
nently cured by its timely use. 1t con-
tains no alcohol, and viii not blscken
the teeth. Physicians ami ministers
endorse and recommend il.

The New Orleans Millionaire.

From the Courter-Jour
Talking OF millionaires, the succession
Of Burnside, the miser millionaire of
this city, promises a rich harvest to the
attorneys at the opening OF our courts
next month. Arriving in this country
a poor boy from the Emerald isle, with
out either money or education, he
wandered off TO Virgins, where he at
tracted the sympathy of a well-known
merchant, who afterward established
him in business in this city in partner
ship with himself. He acquired large
fortune, which was never diminished
by any liberal expenditures in charities,
endowments. to churches, asylums or
learned institutions, railroad schemes,
widows, orphans, friends in reduced
circumstances, or in any other way
usually adopted by the possessors OF
wealth to plead against oblivion for a
name and insure tear or flower Tor
their graves. He embarked in sugar.
planting, and at his death owned more
than dozen of the largest and most
productive plantations in the state.
Dying in the mountains OF Virginia,
whittier he had gone for the benefit OF
his health, the only will thus far found
bears date q years since, prior to bis
embarking in sugar culture, which add
ed so largely to his fortune. By this
will his legatees are principally persons
Of great wealth, with a few gifts to
asylums, which are for the most part
already richly endowed by other bene.
factors. In the forthcoming judicial
proceedings there are claimants under
the will - claimants as descendants
should the will lapse for reason OF its
date, and claimants on the part OF the
state, most Of the property Of the success
sion having been acquired since the will
was made. The general impression and
the general desire-the wish may be
father to the thoughts that the state
will gain its suit and acquire the valu'
able sugar plantations, together with
all the money value OF all their crops for
many years. It will be nice little
plum for q greatly impoverished COM
monwealth.

A Little Misprint.

He walked into the Office this morn

THE FASHIONS.

A new reign of silver begins this TALL.
Lace pursues its triumphant career.
Its the thing at present to have fans
match the toilet.
scsris employed as oyerskirts are more
popular than ever. :
You cannot have q. drawing-room az
present without an easel.
Wear.resisting, grease proof silks are
announced in big capitals.
Turkey red comes in as novelty ior
boarding school dresses for girls.
Certain new designs in stockings have
shells alternating with ribbed stripes.
Tresses and knots Of hair, ringlets
and bangs, are all Of consequence at
present
The modern bedroom suite Of furni-
ture has but three pieces that match
bed, wardrobe and bureau.
Either yellow gold or gold alleged
with copper to obtain the red tint Is
now most liked for bracelets.
Jet proudly holds up its head and
laughs to scorn those who have recently
declared it to be on the wsne.
Very little jewelry is now worn with
full dress toilettes, but decorations OF
flowers are profuse and often mixed
with small fruits.
Shoes and stockings no longer merely
clothet THE feet, but in this era OF short
dresses indicate, as clearly as guide
book, the quality OF the wearer's taste.
Parting the hair more or less toward
one side is more in vogue, and this style
is usually combined with the short,
thick carls seen in portraits OF Rosa
Bonheur.
Newly imported silk stockings show
q broad vandyke OF contrasting colors
such as yellow on black, Indian red on
pale green, and scarlet on either light or
indigo blue.
Parlor furniture has once more re-
turned to the set of seven pieces, uPhol:
stored to match, to which may be added
as many fancy chairs as the size OF the
room allows.
A winning October hat is deep poke
trimmed with black Chsntilly lace and
peacock's eyes laid fiat upon the outside
OF the brim. At the left side there is
cluster of sunhowers.
1t is the style in Paris Just now to
cover everything in room with flower
ed materials. The walls, furniture, man.
tlepieces, tables, and even pictures, are
haif.veiled by drapery OF this sort.
Masculine plumage is fast taking on
the bright coIors OF a century ago. Light
blues and russell green suits, gorgeous
neck wear and astonishingly embroider-
ed garments declare that the handles
are determined that the ladies shall not
monopolize gay hues.

Senator Fair frequently dimes at up

started for that restaurant, and thought

90 out, but 1t was too late. An eager
crowd poured into the entrance and
corralled him beyond hope OF escape.
Senator, how are your" you're

other hearty greetings somewhat EN-,
barrassed him. One excited individual
moved to the door and shouted to g
friend across the street: taste lad

Another enthusiast called out: "Oho
Michael Hurry in, an bring all the
b'ys wild ye!" In less than minute
struggling mob blocked the doorway
The Senator was equal to the situation
you'll oblige me, boys, by drinking
with me this time" he said, as he laid
a $40 silver certificate on the bar. The
offer was accepted unanimously, and he
finally elbowed his way out through the
exultant crowd.
