ese may like 1t. This may account for their
fondness for babies. The japanese babies
seem smaller than ours, and their crack like
eyes drop little tears while their squeaky little
voices cry out in the language OF babydom,
which is the same the world over.
Japan is country Of the little. The men
here are from 5 feet 10 feet o inches In
height and the women are smaller. Notwith-
standing the fact that they raise themselves
three inches OIL the ground on their wooden
sandals, ! am continually looking down at
them, ana tull-sized American girl towers
above them like an amazon.
Japanese trees are dwaTfted, and, In fact,
all nature seems 10 be made on the six by nine
principle. The chickens are nearly ali ban
tams, and the cats with their bobtails look like
kittens compared with our American Tommys,
and the horses are ponies. The houses OF The
common people are but one story and the
rooms look like children's play-houses. The
country, though as big as several States is full
OF picturesque scenery, but 1t is the pretty
rH'hor than the grand, and you have beautiful
Gils rather than sublime landscapes. II Is the
same with everything.

RICH TOILETS.
Some Beautiful Gowns Worn by tho Te-
melc Nandcrbilts.
From NE Nc,g ypyk World

From Me Ncw York World
Here are two of Mrs. Fred Wander
bilts new gowns. The first is dress
to be worn at one of the Delmonico balls
and is a beauty. 1t is pale silvery-
green satin with very long court train,
lined with old rose satin. All the edges
OF it is bordered by the richest Alaska
sable and above these deep arabesqucs
of needleworlS in gold, silver and white.
The front of the skirt is very nearly
solid with this rich gold and silver
neodlework wrought patterns on white
satin.
The long pointed corsage is of white
satin, stiff with the same needleworl
and draped about the shoulders and
down the front with a scarf Of old rose
crepe which is embroidered in gold and
silver and cashmere colors. Another
one of these lovely toilets is a tea gown
of dull old rose crepe Mrs, Wand err
bilt's favorite color. the whole embroi.
dered with exquisite garlands of roses and
leaves in natural colors. This opens
over petticoat of plain rose-colored
crepe, and from the opening at the waist
to the bottom there are loops and ends
of green and rose moire ribbon.
The back is fitted tightly and the
fronts hang half loosely The sleeves
arc flowing, with lace underseeves, The
maker of these is new discovery of
Mrs. Vanderbilt, he having built up his
fame on his ravishing combinations of
rose and green. He has just made another
of these combinations for Sarah Bern
hardt, which is dress of salmon-colored
satin, trimmed with silver passementerie.
There is a plain skirt front, with three
half circles of the passementerie, then a
long re iingote opening to show the fronts
of tho same material, with ornaments of
the same passcmenterie on each side. A
tight-fitting peak bodice with plastrons,
trimmed with rows of pale green satin,
tight sleeves with small pufllngs on the
shoulder, and similar bows and loops oi

The COMMISSIONERS are making a
record for themselves in their treatment
of the liquor traffic in Washington.
They are not making fish of one and
fowl of the other, but are handling the
high and low alike. The swell saloon is
held no better than the low doggery
when the question of violated law is
concerned, and that IS the only fair and
just way to measure the case. The law
is provided for all in equal ratio, and q
man in diamond-studded shirt-front is
no better than the man in red flannel
shirt. A respectable drinking place is
better than a low dive, but the proprietor
of 1t must obey the law to make it re-
spectacle, and if he gets himself in the
same box as the low dive man, certainly
no one is to blame except himself Let
the Commissioners continue in their fair
dealing.

Eugene Lambert, the distinguished French
artist, who has made such great reputation
as II painter of cats, is fat-faced man, with o
large mustache that resembles the whiskers of
the domestic animal he loves so well, In the
yard belonging to his house the artist has q
splendid collection Of living models. One Of
the cats is tri-colored, In black, white and yel-
low, and 1t appears that this variegated fur is
never found except among the female species.
According to the artist, male of this shading
would bring $4,000 in England. Lambert's
cats are treated with great care by their mas

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 3O.-A terrible
tragedy was enacted this afternoon
about four miles from this city, at ellis
Station. The particulars are as follows:
A party of three white men,. d. Smith,
William Eastman and J. F. Jordan, all
residents of Memphis, took trip on the
dummy line which runs near ellis
Station. They were Strolling about,
and Smith, seeing a mule in the road,
remarked that he would take ride. As
he approached the animal Jim COnley,
a negro, called out to them to let the
mnle alone, at the same time applying
OpprObrious epithets. COnley was
seated in his yard, and Smith
and Eastman started towards
him. Jordan demonstrated against
their going, but they entered the yard.
COnley ran into his house and shut the
door. A second afterwards shot gun
was thrust through the window and
discharged. The contents struck East
man in the head, killing him instantly.
Smith ran over to where Eastman was,
and as he was bending over the body
the other barrel of the gun was dis
charged. He was struck in the left side
with several buckshot and is mOrtally
wounded. COnley after the shooting
fed. He has been sexton of the Sons of
Zion cemetery for fourteen years. The
jury of inquest held over Eastman's
body tonight exOnerated COnley, it
being proven that he was defending his
house from assault.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 30.-The
favorable reports for the past day or
two have wonderfully cheered the peo-
pie. All seem to think that the back
bone of the terrible epidemic is broken,
and that in one or two months time the
city will be restored to its pristine
glory. 1t is well to hope, but your cor
respondent thinks that many are too
sanguine regarding the speedy ending
of the scourge. There will be cases
here for many long weeks yet, and prob
ably many deaths. Distress and suffer-
ing will also exist for scores of days to
come, and probably even some time
after the cases cease to be reported.
The death rate of three weeks ago will
hardly be repeated, and it is very
likely the cases from now on will be
lighter and more easily conquered.
The distress here is as great
as ever, though earnest efforts are being
made to supply all needy persons.
There seem to be scores of needy and
distressed families, however, that can
only be reached by private charity,
which is being exercised freely. DIR.
Wakefield acknowledges the receipt of
500 from the Broad Street Congrega-
tional church of Columbus, O., for
the benefit of the destitute Of
the Congregational church of this
city. Col. Daniels condition
is greatly improved. City Marshal
Sherman is also doing we'll and will
soon be able to attend to his duties.
Business seemed to be more lively yes
terday, and more people were on the
streets than for some time. The cool
weather has gratifying effect, as
shown by the decrease in new cases.
Overcoats are worn out at night with
comfort and frost is looked for. The
physicians are deriving great benefits
from the lessening demands upon them.
A special to the Times-Union from
Fernandina says twenty-five new cases
of all kinds are under treatment. All
are doing we'll. The only problem is to
feed the unemployed laborers. who are.
quiet and well behaved thus far. Presi-
dent Beldon, of the Lake county board
of health, telegraphs denying a rumor
of yellow fever at Tallahassee.
That city is in excellent health.

day, Is whites. There were deaths.

SALTWATER, Sept. 30.-Ira W. Cas-
tie, county attorney of Washington
county, died at his residence, No. III
South First street, this city, at 2 a. IN. of
consumption. He was born at Shefford,
province of Quebec, Dec. Is, 1S4S. At
the age of fifteen years he left school
and entered the dominion army, where
he served for three years, afterwards
for four years working upon his fathers
farm, and as a machiniSt coming to
Saltwater, where his brother, Hon. j.
N. Castle, then resided, in the spring OF
1867. In the fall of the same year he
entered the state university at Mime
apolis, where he spent six years in
study. Leaving there in 1878 he passed
one year in the law office of his brother,
and in 1875 went to Ann ArbOr, Mich,
where he took the law course and COM
pleted his studies, graduating in 1877,
when he obtained his degree. On Jan.
l, 1878, he became member of the law
firm of j. N. & /. w. Castle. In 1881 he
was elected county attorney, was re-
elected in 1888, and was again elected in
1886, holding the Office until his death.
With the organization of Co. K, First
regiment, M. N. e., under Capt. B. G.
Merry, he entered that organization and
was its first orderly sergeant. Upon
the death of the second lieutenant he
acquired that position, and upon the re-
moval of Lieut.. Nevers to Minneapolis
was commissioned first lieutenant,
which position he held until the expira-
ton of his five years of service last win
ter. He was taken sick soon after the
annual encampment of the First regi-
ment at Fort Smelling in 1887, the fatal
disease soon developing itself, but with
the determination of character for
which he was marked, he fought the
grim monster until the last. Mr.. Cas-
tie was married Oct. Is, 1880 to Miss
Minnie Lanphear, who still survives
him, and to whose care he leaves two
small children. His brothers, Hon. j.
N. Castle, E. l.. Castle, Of Shifford,
Cam; l.. B. Castle and N. o. Castle, of
this city, and two sisters, Mrs. David
Gaslen, of Saltwater, and Mrs. Ida Mid
dleton, of MOntona, also survive him.
The deceased was an Odd Fellow and
member OF the Saltwater Gun club, and
was an honOred and respected citizen.
He was Democrat in politics, and, al
though not partisan, was pronounced in
his political as well as other views, but
never attempted to force his ideas upon
others. The funeral will take place
from the house at 2:30 p. m. on Tues
day. and will be under the auspices of
the Knights of the Patriarchal circle,
st. Paul Temple No. 2, which will be
present to take charge.
