On October 7th, the Queen Regent OF
Spain issued decree liberatins the
last of the Cuban slaves--s,bOut 15O,-

slaves of this island has been going on
for number of years under an act
passed in 1879. which provided for
the liberation of IA certain part of the
original number every alternate year.
until 1890, when the last OF them were
to be freed, but this decree forestalls
the further operation ofthe act. Bra

Cheau but Tasteful.

How inexpensive materials combined
with good taste may make pretty girl
irresistible is thus indicated by the Bos-
ton Herald:
1t is the day of white gowns. They
are ubiquitous, floating about the streets
like ornamental ghosts, with somebody's
young man and a vivid parasol accom-
panying them. The Sunday benches are
SO full of white gowns they resemble the
fields where white butterflies fiutter the
whole day long. A girl looks prettier in
white than in any color, but then fresh
ness is essential to its becomingness. 1t
is surprising the amount of style natty
little woman can put into a SIMPLE frock
that does not cost her S., all told. One
of these clever damsels decorated a
horse car seat, en- route for Atlantic ave-
nue., last week, and practically illustrated
the theory that taste is good substitute
for money. Mademoiselle was blessed
with trim figure to begin with, and
nature had further endowed her with a
complexion that did not suggest fried
food or dyspepsia, for it was fresh as a
rose in tint. Her gown was of some
cheap white fabric of the cheese-cloth
order, but it chung to her little person in
folds that Oscar Wilde would have ap-
proved. Bows of black velvet defined
section of the corsage technically called a
"vest, " and coarse straw hat, trimmed
with a wisp of the cloth and some ele-
waited black velvet bows, sat pertly and
not ungracefully on the well-aranged
couture. Long tan-colored silk gloves
and parasol of the same tan hue com,
pleted costume modelled on ideas for
which rich women pay Redfern hun
dreds of dollars. Save that she dresses
in the low key of expense, her chic attire
was quite equal to those high-wrought
compositions which Mrs. Tlreestars dis
plays at Newport and Saratoga. And she
knew it, the little mink.

the following resolutions were unani-

WHEREAS. An Advise Providence in
His infinite wisdom has seen fit to re-

submits sively bow to the wise and unerr-
ing rulings of merciful Creator, we

ing business qualities, the patient integ-
rity and clear sightedness displayed
while in his chair.
Resolved 3, That in honor to his men,
DRY we wear the usual badge of morning.
and the stand of E. S. be draped for 30
days.
Resolred 4, That We remember his dy-

Fashion Notes.

Sunshades Of every sort are decorated
with butterfly bow on the handle
Wide white Hercules braid fringed and
knotted at the ends is used as sash belts
for little girls.
Lacepins of silver are in the form of a
single blossom, with reversible centre
of Bohemian stones.
At a recent wedding just outside New
York, the trademarks were dressed in
yellow, the different groups being ar
rayed in different shades.
There are guimpes and plastrons of
French muslin, with or without en-
broidery, made to wear beneath summer
cutawsy basques in lieu Of a vest.
Good taste runs riot in the new para
soils. First we have elaboration on the
edge, then on top, then underneath, ard
the latest samples show combination of
all these in one.
Frocks for children from two to four
years of age have low blouse bcdices.
The skirt is shirred to the bodice and
has two flounces trimmed with feather
stitch embroidery.
In adopting orange-colored garniturcs,
the temptation to multiply them must
be followed with great care. A touch
Of color is sufficient for effect; more
tends to vulgarity.
Pretty bedroom slippers fare made Of
quilted satin instead Of worsted, and
have revers of contrasting colors, the
combination depending upon the shades

A Southern Rice Field.

IA large rice field" says Judge Hen
derson, Commissioner of Agriculture OF
Georgia, resembles map of large city.
l mean skeleton map, such as real es-
tate agents frequently distribute when
advertising lots for sale. The canals and
bitches of various sizes suggest the lines
of lots. Or, it might be likened to a
backgammon board. The squares in a
rice field are checked of with almost MS
much regularity. Mr. Moynelo's planta-
ton, which l recently visited, contained
about 1, 200 acres, of which 900 were in
cultivation. The number of miles OF
bitches in the 900 acres was 1900. Some
of the bitches we're called canals. They
were large enough to float boats, which
served the same purpose of carts or
wagons in wheat or cotton fields. The
dykes must have cost many thousands Of
dollars. My attention was called to one
trunk on a canal which alone cost $7OO
The number of trunks drawbridges,
and bridges of various kinds, must also
have cost many thousands of dollars
Superadd the cost of labor in clearing
the immense forest growth which origi-
nally darkened and encountered the plan
tation, and it will readily be understood
that rice growing is an expensive busi

HatherInn News on Wheels.

Mr.. o. P. Austin, Washington cor.
respondent, thus writes of a fashion
which he introduced Of using the cycle
in news gathering at the Capital:
'sMr. W. e. Curtis, of the Chicago
Inter Ocean, has taken to the use of q
tricycle. for method of travelling in news
gathering. The wheel is becoming
quite popular as factor in the race for
news in Washington. With the smooth
pavements, travelling by bicycle or tri-
cycle is both convenience and luxury.
Just three years ago your correspondent
inaugurated the fashion of using the
bicycle for newsgathering purposes. He
was pioneer in this line, and like other
'reformers' found new principles unpopu-
lar at first. For the first year he rode
alone. Then Carp of the Cleveland
Leader, after much hesitation and prac.
tice on the back streets, followed the ex.
ample. Pretty soon one of the Associ-
ated Press staff, "a noted Siberian traveller
fell victim to the bicycle habit. Pretty
soon ]. A. Trusdell, of the Pioneer Press,
Joined the band of mounted newsmen,
and paralyzed his northwestern readers
with descriptions of Arlington and other
surroundings of Washington as seer
from the saddle of bicycle. Then one
of the local papers mounted one or two
of its men. Then the telegraph com.
panies, seeing the advantage of the sys.
tenn from business standpoint, put
bearers of dispatches on bicycles. Soor
other converts to the system appeared in
the newspaper field, and now you may
count those who use the bicycle for newi
gathering or news dispensing by the
dozen, and walk down newspaper row

We have just seen copy Of the call
for a Republican mass convention in
Raleigh on the Sand Of September We
have no doubt Of the illegal actions of the
defunct State executive committee and do
not hesitate to endorse the holding of a
Republican State convention. The prin-
ciple trouble now Is the shortness of time
in which we have to act. In endorsing
the holding of State convention does
not necessarily carry with 1t the sanction
of putting forth a State ticket nor the
making of a straightout fight in all the
counties and districts. A State conven-
ton should be held, new executive
committee elected for the next two years
and any other business determined upon
by the body, and they in convention as
sembled should shape the course and pol
icy of the party in the approaching cam
paign. The time has come for the down
ing of the one man rule. Let us have a
convention.
