Fashion keep one short enough in
other respects. 1t is now consider
ed "vulgar" to make a lavish dis
play of diamonds. / am indeed
glad to note this sensible move on
the part Of society. I have never
been addicted to the vile habit of
displaying my jewels to any one,
not even my intimate friends. I
keep them locked up in~my~escri-,
tolre at home, and shall only make,
a display of them. when some fair
specimen Of the other sex shall
have convinced me that it is best
to change my present quiet mode of
life, when l shall take great pleas
ure in showing them to my ac-
quaintances, who will doubtless be
astonished at the sight of them, as
my moaesty has even prevented me
frem confding to them the fact of
their possession. Red hair is:to be
the prevailing tint this Winter
This is rather rough on those who
do not possess that article, as they
have heretofore regarded its posses
sors with an air of contempt and
haasteur, whatever that may mean.)
But the saddest thing is the fact
that I am the possessor of a red
mustache. I have heretofore been
proof positive against the edicts of
Fashion, disregarding them all al
together, and living in my plain un-
assuming way, but to think that, az
ter all these years Of fancied securi-
ty, I am likely to be dragged to the
front and lionized by the bellies, or
else submit to the dyeing process,
is maddening in the extreme, for !
hope there is none silly enough to
imagine for a moment that, after
years of tender care in bringing it
70 its present vigorous growth, !
would consent to have it totally
sacrificed This new craze testi-
fies that no one is free from the
whims of Fashion, and reminds me
forcibly of the old saying that in
the midst of life we are apt to dye.
We are still blessed with copi-
Gus supply Of water, which is calcu-
loted to do anything but improve
the now almost impossible byways
Of the city. ut never rains but it
pours" has been more than verified
by the present spell Of the worst
weather ever experienced.
Work on the Exposition railroad
goes nobly on, and visitors may be
assured of rapid transit to and from

assured at all our hostleries, be-
sides reduced rates of transportation

poned to the October term of the
District Court. Thus ends for a
time one of the most sensational
cases on record. ,
The United States steamer Swa-
tara, which has been loading for
some time at this city, left port at
lis o'clock Friday with one of the
most valuable cargoes on record,
consisting Of 10, 100000 silver dol
lars from the United States Mint,
for transportation to Washington
City. 1t was intended that the YES
sci should carry sls,000,000 of the
precious metal, but as this amount
would have loaded her too heavily,
the captain concluded it would be
safe to sail with smaller cargo.
At the Quarantine Station part of
the Swatara's freight was transfer
red to the Yantic, from which point
both vessels left for the National
Capitol.
The suicidal mania still holds
sway in our midst, no less than
three victims having been added to
the list in the past ten days. The
most prominent victim was Ensign
Frederick G. Rider, assistant engi-
neer of the United States man-of-
war Swatara, who shot himself with
a 3S-calibre Smith & Wesson re-
volyer, on the 10th inst, aboard
that vessel. No cause can be as
signed for the rash act, as he was
known to have no personal troubles
or financial embarrassments. He
was engaged to young lady Of
Providence, R. l., and was to have
been married on his return home,
all arrangements for the wedding
having been perfected. He had
purchased the wedding ring in this
city just previous to his death. A
friend Of his, who was to have been
first groomsman on the occasion,
committed suicide some three
months since, and Riders father
was also known to have ended his
life in the same manner. The re-
mains were shipped home by rail to
his mother.
Judging from the numerous i'm
provements noticeable on all sides,
the business men evidently antici-
pate a big boom this Fall and
Winter. l, however, acting on the
safest principle, have deferred the
erection of my palatial mansion I'M
til a mutual reconciliation shall
have been effected between Capital
and Labor. You know it would be
rather hard on me to have my house
demolished by a ruthless mob Just
as it was approaching completion,
which is certainly liable to occur at
any moment, judging from the pre-
sent tone of the Socialistic press. I
would prefer to rent room and
live on the safe plan, while my
money lies in Bank and I calmly
stand by and hear the interest &C.
cumulate. [ am certain you will

OF which everyone marveled. In design it

prise OF their fellow townsman. Work
on the capitol building progressed rapidly
for IL time, but gradually the funds began
to grow beautifully less, and soon became
exhausted before the structure was COM
pleted. Thompson fell back, it is said, on
his own funds, and finished the building in
a cheap fashion and became practically a
bankrupt. Work on his residence after the
roof was put on was stopped, and now it
remains unfinished. TIC recover his lost

with Facts and Figures.
Territorial Auditor Caldwell OF Dakota

some extent regarding certain criticisms
which have been made against the terri.
torial board OF ualization--which con-

and attorney general-in the matter OF the
recent levy OF territorial taxes. The
charges are said to have originated with
Judge Brookings in a speech in the recent
constitutional convention at Sioux Falls.
and are to the effect that the amount
| in the territorial treasury, with sums
already due or to become due, will
be sufficient to pay all the demands
upon the treasury for the next two
years and leave balance OF S37O,O00
without the board making any levy what
eyer for either this year or next The in
tent OF the criticism is to make it appear
| that the territorial board has made the
levy for the purpose OF massing large un-
necessary sums in the treasury in order
that the handling thereof by the officials
may make them personal profit. Mr.
| Caldwell seemed quite amused at
the financial imagination which could
achieve such condition OF things as is
alleged, and said that however much he may
have been disposed to boom the pos
siblities of the great territory, he had not
guessed that among these WAS that OF pay
