FASHION NOTES.

Smoked pearl buttons have designs in
relief.
Mink fur is used to trim brown cloth
dresses.
Dark red cloth trimmed with black Per-
sian lamb will again be worn.
Pendants of diamonds and pearls are in
vogue. The crescent is the fayorite design.
Breton dresses of vigogue have the skirts
trimmed with chenille and bead embroid-
cry.
Feather stitching is employed for trim
ming all sorts of dresses, whether of flannel
or satin.
Cluny stripes for panels have brocaded
figures in scroll design and are in all the
leading colors.
A hat of gray Persian lamb, in hussar
shape is simply trimmed with gray cord
and full brush.
Ivory white satin duchesse for fronts or
panels has a self-colored brocaded design
of large ostrich plumes.
Brooches representing an oyster shell,
upon which rests tiny crab in red enamel,
are bizarre fancies of the hour.
A realistic hairpin is a peapod of frosted
gold half open, displaying nine pearl peas.
An enameled snail nips one of the peas.
In using plaid and plain materials in
combination the back of the bodice is made
of the plain material and the fronts are of
the plaid.
A reception bonnet of white plush is COW
cred with pearl beads. A cluster of loops
of plush ribbon, with full white aigrette,
forms the trimming. The strings are of
the ribbon.
plush design upon a satin ground is
wonderfully beautiful. 1t seems like swirl
ing waves in two tones of the same color
and the dazzling effect of light upon rip
ping water.
Bodices must be trimmed if the omni-
present plastron is not desired, plain line
of braid an inch and half in width should
be placed on either side OF the buttons and
buttonholes.

New YORK, December 24th.-The New
port News and Mississippi Valley Com
pany, of which c. P. Huntington is Presi-
dent, and which is the lessee of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway, ard of several
other related ROADS, has made a contract
with the Duke Steamship Company. whose
principal offices are in London, by which
there will soon be a regular weekly line of
steamships plying between Newport News
and Liverpool. The Duke Company owns
about sixty steamships, and the vessels
which will form the Newport News line
will be of from 5000 TO 5000 tons burden.
They will have first-elass accommodation
for cabin and steerage passengers and for
freight. The first steamer the Westmin-
ster, left London on December 10Th, and is
expected to arrive at Newport News De-
cember Both. For short time the sched-
ule will be one steamer each way between
Liverpool and Newport News every other
Saturday. As the summer approaches
there will be a steamer each way every
week. The new line expects to do a large
freight business, and the railroads under
control of the Newport News and Missis-
sippi Valley Company will be extended
from Newport News, which is the port of
entry, to Memphis and New Orleans and
St. Louis and Chicago. Huntington claims
that by no other way can thecotton of Mem
phis and Vicksburg, of Arkansas and
Texas, and the tobacco of Virginia and
Kentucky, so eheaply and quickly reach
Great Britain. He expects to develop a
large export and import business of valu-
able cattle and horses between England and
the Blue Grass region OF Kentucky and
Tennessee. He claims that his routes are

Child Brutally Murdered by His
Grandfather and Woman.

A Child Brutally Murdered by His
Grandfather and a Woman.
DEs MONIES Ia.) December 24th-There
is great excitement in Montezuma Powes-
hlek county, over the discovery of brutal
murder committed by two colored people
"A. ]. Brown and CIoe Robinson-about
four miles from that place. The victim
was little boy six years old, grandson of
Brown, who had been staying with them
On Wednesday night the boy died, and the
old man reported in town that he died
from an unknown cause, but the suspicion
of the neighbors was aroused and they
investigated and found that he had been
logged to death The Coroner's jury was
summoned, and it has taken large amount
of testimony, showing that the child had
been treated with inhuman cruelties By
both of the guilty persons. The testimony
shows that on the night he died the woman
had him suspended by the heels and beat
him with rope for thirty minutes, and
subsequently the man Brown suspended
him in like manner and wore out half a
dozen switches in beating him, and then
washed his wounds with salt and water.
The child's offenses were trivial in each
instance. The man and woman were
arrested and lodged in Jail at Montezuma
Public indignation runs high. and talk of
lynching is freely heard.

THE OLDEST 0LD MAID.-The Oldest old
maid in the world, woman named Be-
noite, has been discovered at Aueh, in
France. She is 100 years old, born the
year before our Declaration of Independ-
ence. She was grown up when Napoleon
passed through her native village, and the
hundred days seem only little while ago
to her. The oldest colored woman in this
country died not long ago in Chicago, aged
l15 years. To white woman who visited
and aided her she said not long before her
death: Oh, honey, I'm a gwine to glory,
an when l gets dar, Pm gwine to see
Massa Lincoln yes, honey and all the
alteration of the American blacks for the
man who freed them shone in her eyes as
she said it: Yes, honey, jes' as soon as

AIR-PowER.-The lack of a Convenient
and economical power for small industries
is often felt, neither water, steam, nor cleo
tricity seeming to meet the requirements.
The attempts now being made to distribute
power by rarified air in Paris and by CON-
pressed air in Birmingham have much
interest. In each case, central pumping
stations, with steam power, supply the
requisite energy. The success of these sys-
TENS remains TO be shown.

NATURAL FRICTION.

NATURAL FRICTION.
But you have subsidized the steamship
lines in the past to keep up rates.
We are not doing that now, and if we
were it would not keep rates above fair
figure. The ocean swarms with tramp
steamers, ready to cut in whenever the
rate charged by the regular line is too nigh.
Then there is the natural friction among
rival roads that's constantly wearing down
rates, even when pool exists. The ten
dency is always downward-never upward.
The pools constantly revise their tariffs,
and always cut them down. The reason is
this; Each road has to foster a certain
industry. California has its fruit indus
try, and to help that We have cut rates
time and time again, and | can
tell you it has been hard work to
get our Eastern connections to make re-
duction. Another road has its cattle trade
to take care of, and so on. You may be
sure that if a low rate is necessary to en-
able goods to be moved, railroad will
always meet the emergency, pool or no
pool. l feel sure that the time is coming
when an enlightened public opinion will
force Congress to legalize railroad pools and
legislate for the enforcement of their pro-
visions There is no stability without
them, and without stability the element of
rise and fall in freights is added to the ordi-
nary risks of commerce
''If this Reagan bill becomes law, the
railroads can possess themselves in pa
tience," said Mr. Crocker, "for before long
the merchants and shippers of the country
will demand its repeal. 1t would abso-

BEAR" ESCAPE.
When the firemen had secured control
of the flames so as to be able to conine
them to the burning premises it was no.
ticed that the large Polar bear in the me-
nagerie was still alive and comparatively
unhurt though surrounded by flames. A
determined effort was at once made to res
cue the fine brute. A powerful stream of
water was kept in full play on the cage,
and number of daring men made their
way under the current to the cage. This
they wrenched from its fastenings, and
graphing it with cranes and bars, managed
(the bear desperately flying at them all the
time) to drag 1t and its occupant from the
fire lust before the walls of the burning
building fell in with crash.

says: " 1t may be safely stated that dur
ing the last ten years the loss caused by
rabbits would amount to at least t5,000,
900. The rabbit which has caused all this
damage is the common gray variety of
wild rabbit which was introduced into
| Victoria in 1860 for the purpose of sport.
1t has been so prolific as to literally over
run great portion of the country. Large
sums OF money have been expended to ex-
terminate the pest, but with only partial
success.
