BRACELET WATCHES.
Odd Feminine Adornments Now Becoming
Popular.

opuiaHs
For the people who like odd things,
and have money enough to buy them,
there is new eccentricity. 1t is the
bracelet watch as q bangle. Now it
is silver and now it is gold. and again
it is platinum. But the more cxpen-
slve ones are set in the body of the
bracelet and surrounded with Jewels. II
the surrounding stones are turquoises,
the face of the watch will be enameled
in blue of the same tint, with letters
and hands of gold. Or, if the setting
is of emeralds, the face of the watch
will be of gold, with white-enameled
hands and letters. One pretty bangle
watch is in the shape of o beetle. The
green-enameled wings, at the touch
of spring. show the dial-plate. The
eyes are emeralds. The watches are
also set in rings, but, although they
are wonderfully small specimens Of
time-keepers, they are yet too large
for lady to wear on her finger.
1t is matter of qualification to see
how the taste of ladies is improving in
regard to jcwelry. One seldom sees
any on the street now beyond a
brooch, and even that is often replaced
by couple of gold pins linked with
chain. Even at receptions, there is no
longer the display there used to be.
and the necklace is not much worn
with evening toilets. The jewellers are
feeling this seriously, as they are quito
free to confess, and as the numerous
failures in jewelry houses of late, can
certify. The opal, moonstope, cats
eye and the Scotch pebbles are more
to be desired at present than the pre-
cious stones. Chicago NeWs.

BuRMAN ROBBERS.
Terrible Adventure Of an EnglIshman
with Band of Daooits.

TerrlDle Adventure OF an Engllshman
with Band of Daooits.
Dacoits, if brought to bay, will not
hesitate to do their best to slay all
who impede their escape. A young
civilian was appointed assistant COM
missioner to o district far in the in
terror. On arriving at the village
where he was to reside he built bum
galow short distance from the place,
in which he lived with his servants,
Madrassees. After he had been there
for about nine months word came to
Tounghoo from the Bumese head man
or mayor of the village 10 say that
Mr. Ellis mad been seriously wounded
in an encounter with Dacoits, and that
all his Indian servants had been killed.
A guard of soldiers was requested to
DO sent at once to the place. A de-
tachment accordingly was ordered to
the village, accompanied by surgeon.
On arrival they found Mr.. Ellis at the
point of death from the severe wounds
he had received. Before he expired
he made the following deposit
ton: He retired at the usual
hour on the fatal night and was awak-
ened by hearing some one stumbling
over q chair in his room. He at once
grasped his revolver and sprang out
of bed, calling loudly to his servants.
As usual, the Dacoits-for it was o
party OF those gay gentry who had
paid him visit-attempted to run off
He, however, managed to seize one of
the robbers around the waist and held
onto him, Notwithstanding all tho
struggles of the fellow 10 escape. Just
then his matey boy entered with q
lantern and exclaimed: Il know that
man, sahib!' AT this juncture the
comrades of the robber, finding that
one of their number was left behind,
returned to the scene and at once
proceeded to rescue him. After q
brief fighting, during which Ellis shot
two of the Decoits, the robbers gained
the advantage, having killed all the
servants, who however, did not make
any determined resistance, and leav-
ing the young official in dying con-
dition. He was fearfully hacked
about the body and one arm was
cut of. The servants were all
killed because one of their num-
Der had recognized a robber The
Dacoits decamped, leaving behind
them the headless bodies of the two
who were shot, and were never again
heard of in that locality. With all
their ferocity and penchant for APP
propriating other peoples goods.
Dacoits are extremely religious, a
trait not uncommon with some civil
lied thieves. They often build pago-
das to propitiate their deity, and SO
obtain short cut to Nelbhan, fully
believing that they can by such acts
ofpiety gain speedier entrance into
Gaudama's bosom than their question:
able acts upon earth would entitle
them to. They give liberal presents
to the poongyees 1t is, therefore,
not surprising that they never rob q
temple or a priest, although it is well
known to all classes of the population
that the poongyees are very wealthy,
having accumulated great quantities
of valuable gems as well as gold and
silver, the latter often cast into images

THAT the Hon. Creed f. Bates is
justly entitled to the nomination of
the Congressional Convention now
in session at this place, we don't see
how any fair-minded man can longer
doubt. He has held a clear majority
for over three hundred ballots, MAX
ing slight but sure gains every sitting
of the convention, until now he leads
MIR. Snodgrass by a fraction over
twenty votes n,the convention. We
don't believe Mr.. Snodgrass' follow
ers have ever had any hope Of his
nomination since the first ballot was
announced, and their determined
tenacity in obstructing a nomination
by holding on to forlorn hope does
not exhibit any spirit of fairness or
conservatism. Mr.. Bates friends
certainly cannot be expected to yield
as long as they hold good majority
of the convention.

drutf, and the body in healthful

Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the

falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.

Talk About the Weather.

There are no topics which neigh
bors when they meet more frequent
ly talk about than the weather; par
ticularly if they have no other spec
ial matter in their minds, they very
naturally say few inconsequential
words about the aspects of the wealth
er. This passes in part Of the usual
salutation of meeting. For the past
few weeks the weather has been the
theme Of much praise: no one is
heard abusing it, except perhaps
some few persons who are always
given to fault finding. People may
talk praislngly as they may about
the grand old fall seasons during the
years in the forties and perhaps the
tlftles and reason about the increased
cold OF the seasons the past thirty
years. Perhaps this is all true. but
no doubt the great majority of the
people Of this portion of the west is
voiced in saying that the past fall
and the beginning of this winter
have been remarkable for mild and
agreeable weather. Any one is
tempted to expend a good many adj
jectives writing on the fine DAYS, but
when it is recollected how liable to
change is this northern latitude, of.

Trial by Jury.

During a former legislature in this
state an effort was made to reform
the system of trial by jury, but the
proposed improvement failed A
bill was introduced providing that
the Circuit Judge in each judicial
district shall appoint commission
of five, whose duty it shall be to Sc
leCt a list of names from which ju-
rors may be chosen. No Office
holder or member of the bar shall
serve on the commission. Jurors so
chosen shall be able to read and
write, and be men of reputed integ-
rity. This would probably have been
decided improvement on the pres
ent method of obtaining jurors, but
whether it would have been all the
reform needed is perhaps question
able. Trial by jury in its earliest
and most simple form dates back to
an uncertain period; most commonly
it has been fixed to the time Of King
John of England. It was regarded
the first important step in jurlspru
dence, to protect the rights of the
common people from the over grasp
ing power of the rich and influential
classes. 1t has been regarded so
important a safeguard against op-
preston and wrong that it has been
recognized and incorporated in the
constitution Of every state in the
American Union; and its principles
in substance are acknowledged in all
civilized countries. But the system
of trial by jury Notwithstanding it is

stances of tampering with juries by
corrupt influences have become
ala-mingly common. It is often said
that exact justice would be better
rendered according to law and evil
dence by submitting cases in contro-
versy to the decision Of the court
rather than the jury; hence it is rea-
soned the jury had better be abol-
ished. The people are not prepared
for SO radical a change in the ma

criminals would choose to be tried
