Men of Talent to Set the Fashion.
A man need be neither rich, hand
some nor shapely to dress elegantly, or
even set fashion. Though good in
come is desirable, the art of dressing
lies not in expensiveness, but appro-
priateness, finish, and that Elusive
something that the world calls style
and philosophers character. If not
born in a man it can be arrived at only
with vast pains, and even then a man
will often dress less we'll than his valet.
1t is only when garments seem exactly
to express mans true self, uncon-
sciously; when they are at once effective
and unaffected; are entirely harmo-
NOUS, easy and appropriate, and,
above all, are suggestive rather than
conspicuous, that they are artistic, dis
tinguished and of ethical value. In
other words, what looks well on one
man won't look well on all men. But
only few recognize the great truth or
have courage to practice it. There
fore, the man who dresses to correctly
suit himself is certain to produce re-
suit that will be copied by others who
admire it without regard to whether it
suits them or not. This is how men of
talent set a fashion, and why it re-
quires men of talent to do it.

A Brave Judge.

Breathit county, Kentucky, is one of
the localities in that State, dominated by
lawless persons. 1t had been impossible to
enforce the law through the courts, or to
hope for justice to wrong doors. Recently,
Judge W. L. jackson, Of Louisville, for
merly Lieutenant Governor of Virginia,
was requested by Coy. Knott to pro-
coed to that county to try some GRIM
nal cases. 1t was believed he would
ask to be excused, but not SO. To the
surprise of everybody he proceeded to
the county seat and opened court. A case
was called, and one witness YVES reported
absent. The Judge ordered him to be
brought if litter had to be used to get
him to the court house. The court ad-
journed until the following day at 10
O'Clock. and the Sheriff was directed to
have the witness present or he would be
fined and imprisoned to the extent of the
law. The prisoner came in a sorry plight,
after a regular fusilade of gun shots. His
arm was in a sling and several wounds
were on his person. The case proceeded,
and more criminals were convicted at
the term than ever before. The effect
was magical. The spirit of order and
submission to law became contagious
and Breathit county, full Of miner
al wealth, is now feeling the effects in
large capital being invested and immigra
tion coming in rapid at rate. Gov. Knott.
before Judge Jackson went on his mission,
asked him if he wanted an hundred men
to execute his processes. His response
was mo. This court is equal to any hun
dred men, And so it proved.
Judge Jackson will be remembered by
many of the citizens of Virginia He
served as Lt.-Goy. when Henry A. Wise
was Governor, and was afterwards Brig
adler General in the Confederate service.
He went to Louisville at The close Of the
war, and has resided there ever since, for
number Of years serving as Judge Of the
Circuit Court.

Eu neral of Mr.. Hendricks.

The remains of the late Hon. Thos. A.

city was heavily draped in mourning, every
house displaying its sombre emblems of

that which followed the body of General
Grant to its last resting place, and afforded
one of the most imposing scenes ever wit
messed. After services in the church, of
which the deceased was a member, the

marble vault had been prepared.

exander has been compelled to consent to

great renown in the brief conflict, and
placed himself in much better favor with
the great powers Of Europe, interested in
the Balkan peninsula. While the indica
tions now are that there will be no further
active hostilities between Seryia and Bull

the dispute, as they relate to Russia, Aus

of. Whether they will be aggravated into
more general disturbance between these
powers cannot now be stated.
The Servians are Inundated, King Mi
Ian has lost prestige, and his people are
much dissatisfied. Prince Alexander has
proportionately advanced in the confidence

s'Such law should provide that in the
event Of the death of the President and
Vice President the Secretary OF State
should succeed, with reversion, in case of
his death, to the Secretary of the Treas.
ury, and SO on until the contingency had
been fully provided for on the line indi-
Gated. n-NosJolE Landmark
Such law was passed by the Senate at
its last session, and went to the House
with u Democratic majority, which failed
to consider and act on it. The Landmark:
says IA law to be fair and just towards
all parties and to the people of the Re-
public, should be SO shaped as to continue
the executive department in the hands of
the party victorious at the Presidential
election next preceding the vacancy to be
filled.''
This view is not applicable to the pres.
emit administration, with Mr.. Cleveland
out of it. 1t was not confidence in the
Democratic party that caused the success
of its nominees last November. Mr..
Cleveland was stronger than his party.
and his election was secured by the votes
of Republicans who believed that he was
better than his party. Another Democrat
as the Presidential candidate, would al
most certainly have lost New York and
consequently the election. So the Senate
owes nothing to the sentiment expressed
by our contemporary, and could not fairly
be expected to pass any laws that looked
to the continuance of the Democratic
party in power, in the contingency Of the
Presidents death. If the law passed by the
Senate last Congress should be revived. it
ought to be done free from all partizan
considerations and acted upon solely with
reference to its merits. It is sincerely
hoped that no such calamity may befall
The country as the death of the President

On the announcement that the prohibit
tionists had carried Atlanta and Fulton
county, Ca, on the 25th, the statement
went forth that the effect would be ruin
GUS to the business of the city-that large
numbers of persons would be thrown out
Of employment-inv capital would
become worthless and other dire results
follow. The prohibitionists were not to
be scared IN that way. They instantly re-
vived the scheme to construct the Georgia
Midland railroad, which can be brought to
Atlanta with subscription of $4,000
and building it would offer an opening for
labor. A few prohibitionists met and
subscribed $4,000 for the purpose, and
kilograms were received from wealthy
prohibitionists in various portions of the
country asking for investments in real es-
tate and business in Atlanta. The indi-
cations are that two dollars Of fresh CAPT.
tai will go to the city where there is one
taken from it because Of prohibition. The
criminal expense will be largely reduced
and when the excitement abates and men
come to their senses, they will find instead
of harm good will result. 1t is safe to say
that where the whjskey interest employs
one laborer it makes two paupers.
The i-Prohibitionists threaten, under
the advice of Senator j. E. Brown, to test
the validity of the law in the courts, and
it is said Hon. Roscoe Conkling will oe
employed to appear in the Supreme Court
Of the United States for the anti-prohibi-
tionists, should the case reach that tribu-
nal. The Constitution, which was neutral
in the recent contest, advises that the law
be given fair trial and that legal contro
versy be discouraged.
The interest manifested in the result is
national in its scope and the wealthy pro-
hlbitionists in other States will see that
Atlanta does not suffer because Of the ex-
pertinent.

Prohibition Victory.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ca, dated the
25th of Nov, gives the following mention
of the result of the warm contest which
had been raging in that city for several
months between the Prohibition and anti
Prohibition people. 1t says:
After the most exciting election ever
held in the State, Fulton county has
adopted prohibition by majority of about
2l9 out of a poll of 5000. Late last night
the excitement was so great and the fears
of trouble were SO grave that the Gate
City Guard slept on their arms at the ar.
mory and extra police were on duty in all
parts of the city. At 6 a. M. the colored
voters who had been locked up in the
various halls were marched to the different
polls, and the battle of the ballot began in
dead earnest. All day long the best of
humor prevailed, and the leaders of both
sides were active in taking up all bets
offered. One man had $4,000 in the pot
contingent upon the success of Prohibit
ton. The City Hall was surrounded all
day by over 5 900 persons. AS night drew
near it became evident that the contest.
was a hand-to-hand affair, and runners
were sent in all directions to bring in the
halt. the lame and the blind There are
IL precincts in the county, only two of
which are in the city. The vote in the
country precincts gave prohibition ma
iority of 545. North Atlanta gave prohi-
bition majority of II votes out of poll
of 2. 500. This left only one precinct to
hear from-South Atlanta-at which there
was poll of over 5000. It was known to
be an anti-prohibition stronghold, and all
day the wet men claimed it by a majority
of 100. the Proaihitionists coneeding it by

Reference has been made to the fact
that Vice President Arthur in 1881 failed
to vacate the chair in the Senate, at the
first session after the 4th of March of that
year, that President pro tenn. might be
elected. There were several mitigating
circumstances connected with this action.
First, the resignation of Senators Conk-
ling and Platt, caused his State not to be
represented in the Senate. and by these va
cancies the Democrats could elect the pres
ident pro tenn. He did not think that it
would be fair to the Republican Senators or
the Republican party, for with full Sen
ate president pro tenn. could have been
chosen in political.sympathy with the adj
mlnistration which the people had called to
power. Further. Senator Bayard was the
nominee of the Democratic caucus for the
position and Vice President Arthur's per-
sonal relations to him were not Of friend

such as would have made 1t unpleasant,
to say the least, to have had such close as
ISOLATION between the two gentlemen as
would necessarily exist between the Pres
ident and President pro tenn of the Senate.
Certainly there was no sameness in the
conditions then existing and those which
surrounded the late Vice President Hem
bricks when he declined to vacate the
chair in March last, that president pro
tenn. might be elected. The Senate then was
fuil-a majority of the members were Re-
publicans and they would have elected Re-
publican pro tenn. if the opportunity had
been offered who would now be the acting

reference to the possible succession that
The chair was not vacated, Or any other
cause, the conditions were different to
what they were when Vice President Ar
