The most astonishingly dressed little woman
in ST Louis this week was the daughter Of a
prominent municipal officer. She was riding in
horse-car. and this is what she wore: A vivid
royal purple velvet dress, walking length. the
long apron front of the oyerskirt trimmed with
six inch white lace ruffie, generously gathered on
Over this handsome sealskin dolman open
from the waist that the effect of the Tyrian
dye might not be lost upon the on.looker: g
sealskin toque upon the lower braids and a
suspicion of a veil over the face, the conspicuous
part OF which was the lips. Not especially pretty
lips. bat the constant biting of the lower one be-
tween two rows of vicious white teeth kept it in
glow Of pain. Tho hands incased in
cheap black gloves. and on the wrists great bar

"BEAsT" BUTLER.
One of Many Incidents Which Made Him
Hated by Some People.


Hated by Some People.
Washington Special in l;oston Globe.
General Butler, who was here for several days
on some legal business, left last night for home
To the inquiry as to whether he would be here
on Inauguration day he said he thought not, I'M
less Mr.. Cleveland invited him to 90 into his
Cabinet. While here he saw notice of tho
death of a volunteer officer who served in his
command in the late war, and recalled with
grim smile, little episode in which both
figured. Tho keeper OF hotel close
to the post where tho command
for the time being stationed, came to Gen.
Butler one day and complained that tho officer
alluded TO owed him several hundred dollars for
board, for which he could get TO satisfaction.
General Butler requested that the bill be prop
eriy made out and sent TO him. He thereupon
sent it under cover to the delinquent debtor,
with tho following endorsement, to which his
signature was attached:
"Resp4ctfully referred TO Major - The
ma jor .cenaral commanding will be clad to be in.
formed if there is any reason why an officer IN
der his should be wearing another mans flesh on
his bones"
The next day the hotelk keeper came with q
joyful face and informed Gen. Butler that tho
long standing bill had been paid.

the Pennsylvania Legislature but refine it. The

The backbone Of the monopoly was bent when
the railroads broke away from the Standard aid
offered every refner in the country fair play and
no favors. The Standard retaliated by building
pipe lines and transporting its oil in them rather
than by railway. When the railway companies
had been thus shaDbily treated thew revised
their tariff rates and permitted every one to
come in on an equal footing as shippers, but in
the mean time the Standard had become SO opu-
lent that it did not care what action the rail
roads took. Notwithstanding the competition
the Standard now has. it cleared s., OO0. coo in

WIN. 81. VANDERBILT, the New
York many-millionaire, dropped dead
at his home at 2:30 p. m. last Tuesday.
His death came, like that of most men
who lead luxurious lives, from q stroke of
apoplexy, which fell upon him without
a moments warning. Mr.. Vanderbilt
was probably the richest man in the
world, his wealth being estimated at
$500, O00, 900, while his annual income
was near $lO,OOO,OOO. His ordinary
household expenses were 500, 900 q
year. Mr.. Vanderbilt has not been
connected with Wall stleet for several
years, and the bulk of his railroad bus
ness has been placed in the hands of
his sons, Cornelius and VIM. K, 60
that the immense fortune which he
leaves behind promises to be held in
tact for another generation. The dec
eased was nearly sixty-five years of
age and leaves q wife, four sons and
four daughters.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was q rich man but
it was through no fault of his own.
His riches were thrust upon him and
he seems for the most part to have
used them well. His railroads were
managed literally and he contributed
freely to charitable objects. Facts that
are no doubt pleasant for his friends to
think of now for Of all his riches
IAN he can hold in his cold dead hand
Is what he has given away"

Editor Register:-As Mr.. VanDe-
man has promised to report the pro-
ceedings Of the state convention of the
Horticultural Society I will confine
myself more particularly to agricul-
ture.
From the way the farmers are I'LL
ing their cribs in the Kaw valley and
the way they report from the western
counties there is not much need to
fear that corn will be % high that
those who buy their corn will pay any
higher price than at present. I met
many men from the western counties
and they all report the corn crop good,
better than last year. One old gentle.
man from Sterling told me that he
was reporter to the Department at
Washington and had others to report
to him from different parts Of the
county and that they reported from 60
to l30 bushels per acre.
We also had the pleasure of seeing
our State Agricultural Farm and Col
lege. There are about $50 students In
attendance at the college. They have
one hour per day to work In the shops

The REGISTER certainly has no fight
to make upon Mr.. Acres. It congrat-
ulated him upon his appointment, and
it believes now that he will perform
the duties of the Office as well a. any
other democrat in the State perhaps.
But We must admit that he "slopped
over" badly in his letter to the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, recent
~ published. 1t is very nearly silly
to accuse the State Temperance I'm
ION as body of insincerity, and to
claim that they have voted for ''candi-
dates VIGOROUSLY addicted to drink'
rather than for consistent temperance
democrats. 1t is childish to assert that
the presence of two or three women
quietly copying from books in his Of
flee will ''annoy me to DEATH" And 1t
does not speak very highly for his
qualifications as a citizen for him to
declare 81 have no interest or concern
as regards the enforcement of State
laws" In short, while Mr.. Acers is q
jolly good fellow and q good friend
of ours, it is plain that letter writing
is not his forte.
