kid gloves do not wear so well as for
merly, that: The first cause in the
tearing of gloves will be found in the
fact of their being worn so very tight.
A few years back 81 was the smallest
81, the majority sold being It and u;
and then, be it remembered, we sold
only one two-buttoned gloves made
from kid-skins, and the general prices
paid Is Cd and IS Cd per pair. Now all
this is changed in the present day. In
place of sizes ranging from 81 to 81,
come 81 to 81: and instead of wearing
gloves cut from sound, tough kid, with
one and two buttons, the Giants de Suede,
cut from a tender lamb-skin, with six,
eight and ten buttons are worn, and,
what is worse still, some gloves have no
buttons. These latter are called "Mous-
quetaires," and are difficult to put on;
the wearers, not exercising the patience
required, begin to pull them, and. the
gloves being cut from lambs'zins, they
tear them. In order to prevent so many
accidents in the pulling on of gloves, let
the following directions tn be observed:
Turn the glove down beyond the but
ton, and let the fingers work on thor
oughly to the ends, also the thumb, then
turn the glove over and adjust gently
into place, but avoid pulling it. If the
gloves were laid in damp towel for
three or four minutes previously to pull
ing on they would draw on more easily
and seldom or ever tear"

The Huntington Purchase.
New Orleans States "a.


In view of the recent purchase by
Huntington OF controlling interest
in the Morgan railway property, it is
interesting to refer to legal proceed
ing now pending. When Chas. Nor
gan died he LETT will directing his
property to be distributed according
to the laws of the State of New York
relating to intestaoy. The accounts
OF the executrix, Mary j. Morgan,
were objected to by all the grand.
children and great grandchildren Of
the decedent. except Richard j. Nor.
gan. The testator owned 40, $40 shares
of the Morgan's Louisiana and Texas
Railway Steamship Company. the
total capital stock being 10000
shares. Mrs. Morgan in her ac-
count charges herself with 1900
shares OF this stock, but does not
account for the other $4,000 shares.
She claims that these $4,000 shares
were given to her and certain of his
children by the testator in his life y.
time, and that it was not necessary
for her to give account in respect
thereto.
The DIRECTORS claimed that this was
never a completed gift, and even II it
was, it should be treated as an ad.
vsncement. The referee found that
il was a completed gift, and Surrogate
Rolling, of New York. recently, on a
motion to confirm this report, sent in
a memorandum to counsel, stating
that he would hear them further on
the question as to whether be had
jurisdiction. Mr.. Francis N. Bangs,
on behalf Of some Of the directors,
contended that a decree by the Sur.
rogate would be no impairment Of
the equitable rights of any of the
parties.

A reporter Of the World interviewed
Colonel Patterson, one of the repre-
sentatlves from Shelby county. last
night, in reference to the resignation
of some OF the Memphis officials cad
the appointment of others by Gov
ernor Bate, and learned the following
facts
He said that Mr.. Graves resigned as
Police and Fire Commissioner, and
that Captain Lee and Mr.. James re.
signed their positions as members Of
the Board OF Public Works, making
three vacancies. A number Of gen.
tlemen of Memphis recommended to
the Governor the appointment of
Captain Lee to fill the vacancy coca :
stoned by the resignation of Mr..
Graves, and the appointment Of
Messrs. Livermore and Cochran
to fill the vacancies occasioned
by the resignation Of Messrs Lee and
James. No formal application was
made to the Shelby county delegation
TO go before the Governor and make
recommendations, but Captain Lee
asked Senator Porter to introduce
him to the governor. At the time the
Senate was not in session aud the
House had adjourned. Senator Gal
loway was the only member of the
Shelby county delegation that Senator
Porter could see. and be took Sslater
galloway with him and went with
Captain Lee to the governors room
and introduced him. Senators Porter
and Galloway then told the governor
that they fully endorsed the recon
mendations made by prominent citi-
zens OF Memphis for the appointment
OF Messrs. Livermore, Lee and Coch :
ran. 1t was upon these recommenda
tons that the appointments we're
made. Colonel Patterson said that
Senator Porter was fully justified in
what he did.
In further conversation with the
World 8 representative and Represen
tative Ivie, Colonel Patterson said the
Democracy was united and harmoni-
GUS, and that the State debt bill hav-
lug been perfected in distinct compli-
ance with the Bate platform. would
pass through both houses without
serious opposition. He says that the
best OF feeling prevails in the General
Assembly on this subject amongst
Democrats. and that in his ju dgment
1t would hereafter remain beyond the
pale of politics in this State. Fur
thermore, the Democrats in caucus
next "Wednesday night would perfect
the Railroad Commission bill, and
that they would be equally as harmo-
NOUS on that question.

Special to the Commercial Gazette.
WASHINGTON, February "a Com
ment on the Chandler Gorringe cor
respondence has been general to-day
and in the main very severe upon the
Secretary Of the Navy. His right to
question the views of an officer UPON
the question of free ships is denied on
all sides. and the matter receives the
more unfavorable comment from the
fact that Mr.. Chandler, previous to
entering the Navy Department, made
no secret to the fact that he was one
of the representatives of John Roach.
While this relation ceased when he
became Secretary of the Navy, the
fact that il formerly existed is regard
ed by many as a good reason why, as a
matter Of good taste, the first letter of
the Secretary should never have been
addressed to Commander Gorringe.
