IL is now announced that the demo

ed a new bandanna and had it patent
ed. It is to have small American
flag woven into each corner, and an
other in the center. This will be SO
that the democrats can wipe their nos
es on the American flag. But it will
also destroy the, value of the large
stocks of bandannas with which mer
chants have already supplied them
selves, besides spelling the emblematic
character OF every bandanna that en-.
thusiastic democrats have already
bought If this does not create live

the country than it has been credited

not object to wiping their noses on it,

and even go off the side walk into the

have known thousands that went 10
Canada to keep from serving under It..
We also can remember the time when
an American flag flying In the breeze
had the same effect on democrats who
are now prating Of their devotion TO Il
that red bandanna has on an infuri

LOCKWOOD JUGS AND JARS.

Everything is made at lockwood from
pepperboxes and after-dinner coffee cups
to claret jugs and rose jars. In fact, the
controlling idea in the enterprise has
been to apply art to simple things and to
common materials. In order to form a
style as distinctive as possible no direct
imitation of other wares has been at
tempted. Clay has been chosen only
from the Ohio valley, first-class artists in
Europe, America and Japan have been
secured, originality has been encouraged
and quality has never been sacrificed to
quantity, A steady adherence to these
ideas, without regard to immediate COM
nercial interest, has placed lockwood
faience in the front rank of ceramic art.
In America it is unequalled and in Europe
it's artistic success is cordially ac-
knowledged.
During the Centennial Exposition
lockwood ware, aside from its own
merit, will have an especial interest," for
lockwood pottery was founded by a
daughter Of the Longworths, Mrs. Maria
Longworth Storer, The history of the
Longworths in Ohio is the history of Gin
clnnaJl ltSell, especially III ltS drtlStlC ue-
velopments. The Art Museum, the Art
School and lockwood pottery, these three
bear witness to their hberality and en-
.ouragement, but the greatest of these,
In practical results, is the pottery.
Visitors are welcomed there with charm
ing cordiality, and a pleasant morning
may be spent in making a tour of the
rooms and watching the artists at their
work The big wheel patiently turned
by woman's hand the potter bending
intently over the wet clay that seems
alive under his fingers, and beyond the
low window, with a tracery of leaves
across the pane, might be picture of
medieval days, recalling Longfellow's
Keiramos with its famous song of the
potter,
'Turn, turn, my wheel; turn round and
round,
Without pause, without sound:
SO spins the flying world away.

gray, as rare as it is beautiful. Another
jar, tall and slender, in color, per-
feet bit Of mahogany, has a glaze so
brilliant that it might have been polished
for hundred years. About the slender
throat a few angry clouds seem drifting,
and underneath huge serpent lifts its
hideous head and seems to undulate
about the body of the jar. The effect is
superbly decorative and thoroughly arts
tic. Another vase of the same type is in
a delicious tint--a little more than green
and little less than blue-the handles
exquisitely shaped and carrying out the
idea of the decoration-a mass of strug
Cling serpents falling into space.
In all its styles the characteristic feat
ure of lockwood ware is that the color
grounds are decorative in themselves,
and that their combinations are used to
reinforce the applied decoration. For the
latter not only Japanesque dragons, but
natural flowers and conventional forms
are used. AS the decoration is all free
hand, done by trained artists, there is no
limit to the variety and freedom of its
treatment. The result is that no two
pieces are exactly alike, except as to
shape. Here is a picture of some of the
prettiest models.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.


MoNDAY-Carrle L. Whittier VS.. Maurice West.
This is an action to recover damages for personal
injuries sustained by the alleged negligence Of the
defendant in driving his horse against and upon
on Sunday. the twelfth of September. 1885, the
plaintiff on her way TO Sabbath School, when
nearly opposite Plymouth church on Congress
street, crossed the street to speak to friend She
then started to re-cross, got few steps from the
curbstone. turned her head to speak again to her
friend, pausing as she did so with her back to-
ward High street, when she was hurled down by
a horse driven up street by the defendant, her
clothes torn, ana her leg below the knee lacerat-
ed in once place and receiving other slight bruis-
es The defendant took her in carriage to her
home where she was confined TO her bed by the
injuries and nervous shock for two weeks. She
claims that she suffered by The shock for months
and in fact now has not entirely recovered. She
asks In her writ for two thousand dollars DAM
The defendant says he had his wife and little
girl in the carriage; that they had taken the girl
from Sabbath School and were on the way home
with her; that he stopped his horse at the High
street crossing 80 feet below the place OF the
accident, to allow number of people to pass
that he then looked up the street and saw no one
in the street, but did not notice VIII or how many
were ON the sidewalk. He then started his horse
at slow trot; the child made some remark which
attracted the attention of himself and wife, and
the next thing he knew was cry of alarm and
he saw the plaintiff upon the ground between his
wagon wheels. He Immediately stopped his
horse, helped her up and offered to carry her
home; she refused saying she was not hurt and
would be all right as soon as she got over her
fright. he, however, dlu take nef nome In MS
carriage. The defendant claims that the plaintiff
in crossing the street at point where there is no
crosswalk without looking down the street for APP
preaching teams herself guilty of contributing
negligence and therefore cannot recover.
The plalntin claims that she was not guilty of
eontlrbutory negligence; that the negligence Of
the plaintiff was the sole cause of the injury, and
without his fault the accident wonld not have oc-
Cured. The case was tried before the Judge
without jury and the decision will be rendered
next term.

FIRE IN DEERiNc.
The Tripe Factory of Charles w.
ReIknap G. Son Burned Last Night.

Last night at about 10 o'clock the western
sky was illumined by the light of large fire
that seemed to be in the vicinity of Wood
ford's Corner. Investigation proved that
Charles W. Belknap q Sons bone fertilizer,
formerly tripe factory, at Brighton Corner,
On Stevens Plains road near the Deering
town house was burning. When the PRESS
reporter arrived upon the scene the entire
main building, about 50x75 feet, had fallen.
The fire must have started at about half past
9 or 10 o'clock, but it burned so rapidly,
owing to the quantity Of grease that had ac-
cumulated on the floor and sides of the main
building, that it was well under way when
the first persons arrived. The flames evil
IDENTIFY started near the boiler in the main
building which contained very little OF value
excepting an engine and boiler and
small amount of ground bone and oyster
shells. A wing of the building, which made
right angle with the main factory, was
soon burning, and the bright flames rose
high in the air, and the sparks still higher,
making the vicinity as light as at midday.
About % feet from the factory was store
house about 20X50 feet and this was soon in
flames. A shed, about 80 feet long, contain
ing eight open stalls, extended toward the
street. IIOIll Iut nOIlH cIu VI luC ldCbOl1, anu
at midnight this was in ashes. AT just II
o'clock the roof of the storehouse, which
contained no stock, fell, and three-quarters
of an hour later nothing but heap of red hot
ashes remained of it, In the rear OF where
the store house stood is stable at distance
of not more than sixty feet, and for long
time it looked as ii it must be consumed.
Several times fire caught on the roof from
the falling sparks, and quite a blaze got
started over the door. A few buckets of
water were sufficient however, to extin-
guish this flame and by SO doing the build
ing was saved. Another barn is situated
not far from where the moth end of the fac
southeasterly wind this, too, would
and half house, unoccupied, in
in which had lived a part of the help that
had been employed in the factory is situated
near the street and noe more than so feet
from where once stood the horse shed.
This, also, escaped the flames owing to the
fact that there was very little wind. At
midnight the main building and both wings
and the storehouse was smouldering heap
of ruins. Nothing but the chimney remains
standing.
Some twenty-five or more persons from
the city went to the fire and from the neigh
boring houses large b number g came
such Roadway when the first arrived, that
no effort was made to save any of the build
ings, except the barn. All stood quietly and
watched the destructive work of the flames
until the last roof had fallen and all was in
ruins.
The factory has been used very little of
late, and as it contained things of no great
value, the loss cannot be very large. Mr..
Belknap stated last night that the loss was
fully covered by insurance, and that in his
opinion the fire was incendlary.
