PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, Sept. %, 1888.
The questions of the hour
For men, politics.
For women, dress.
Look in other columns for
treatment of the first, for the
second in this.
The second floor, Chestnut
street, was alive yesterday with
ladies eager for a first view of
the new Wraps and Costumes
for the Autumn and Winter.
Paris, London, Berlin, vi
emma, are represented by rare
and exclusive types. The
omnibus things are not here.
The selections have been made
in person by our most tasteful
and experienced people who
have visited all the great manu-
facturers of the European capi-
tails in their own work-rooms.
Thus we get only the best.
Tie best 90aY to see all these
new things is to seek the store
at the corner of Thirteenth and
Chestnut streets and ascend
either by stairway on east wall,
or elevator, to the dress-making
rooms. Then examine the east
room first and proceed qgest to
the down stairway on Juniper
street. Remem6er the second
fooy.
By this proceeding you will
see:
First, the Women's Cos
tunes ond Fine Wraps.
Secona, the Women's Ulsters
and Jackets.
Thru, the Misses Costumes
ard Overgarments.
Fourth, the Baby Clothes.
Take our word for it, you
will be repaid for looking, and
the autumnal decorations add
to the charm of the exposition.

You know the place-just

The advertisers pen can no

Not Fit to Go to Sheol.
From The Orlando (FIa.) Record.

There are many anecdotes to be told of
the old settlers of Florida, commonly called
"crackers," but the best we have heard for
some time is the following: Some wears

airs, an old cracker and his two sons, one
about IL and the other If years of age.

on the way to their cattle range, and when
about twenty-five miles south of Orlando

The sons held consultation and decided
that the Oldest one should return to Orlando

brother should stay and keep watch

an OK team, the only means Of conveyance
in those days, consumed nearly two days
and nights. All this happened in warm
weather, and as the little fellow left in
charge could not keep awake for so long a
time he finally fell asleep, which, on ac-
count of long watching, was extremely
sound, during which the vultures descended
aud badly disfgured the old mans face.
On the return of the older brother he found
his brother asleep, and seeing the horrible

Stewart and the Silver.

Congressman Stewart, of Georgia, tells
good story on Mr.. Gambler of the same
state, about his stand in the last congress
on the silver question. Every one knows
how he advocated the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. One day last summer,
while in Atlanta, Mr. Gambler went to the
Citizens bank with ST., 600 draft which he
desired cashed. The cashier of the bank
who kept well posted with the positions of
Georgias representatives in congress, i'm
mediatey went to tine vault and hauled out
a dozen or more bags of silver dollars, in
all containing the amount of the draft. Mr.
Gambler was considerably surprised, which
he expressed in words not to be found in
the catechism, aud refused to accept the
silver
but" said the cashier, fare you not a
silver manp
YES, / am" responded Mr. Gambler,
"but | don't want all that - stuff"
We'll" said the cashier, "rll be fair
with you and only give you six thousand in
silver"
BY this time somewhat of a crowd had
gathered around the bank counter, all of
whom insisted that the cashier had offered
a fair compromise, and Mr.. Gambler was
compelled to accept. He however, had to
employ two able-bodied negroes to assist
him in carrying the "stuff to the train.

NATURES FREAK.
Col Tits Sand Hill Place a Natural
Curiosity.
From the Albany (Ga1 advertiser.


From the Albany (Gal advertiser.
Looking east from Albany a series of
singular sand hills rise like the spur of some
mountain chain, but its singularity, which
has mystfed the Oldest inhabitants. con
sists in its want of connection with the sur
rounding country, which is fiat and
unbroken. 1t is to southwest Georgia what
the solitary peak of Stone mountain is to
its section. The base of this mountain of
sand is circular and covers an area of nearly
1000 acres, with some of its prominent
peaks rising fully 200 feet above the level of
the plains
People gaze with wonder on this huge
bank of loose sand, and speculate as to its
origin and formation. The Nelcs and Ad-
rertiSer has theory of its formation which
Is perfectly satisfactory to our minds.
Centuries before this part of the North
American continent emerged from the sea.
there was great maels rom of maddened
waters, such as that off Norway's shore,
which, with ceaseless whirl, collected up the
loose sand of the bottom in mountain piles
The shape of the top indicates this: it has
the appearance of broken cone, with the
top section deeply indented, leaving a range
of hills on the outer edge. The deep hollows
which this range incloSe indicate where the
vortex of the maelstrom was AS the waters
receded this hill appeared an island and the
base was laved for ages, perhaps, reducing
its irregularities to the smooth beach-like
surface that it now presents.
The elements gradually dsintegrated the
coarse sand into plant food, and vegetation
sprung up in the soil that was qnickened
into fertility by the moisture of the waste
of waters that surrounded it. Thus the
beautiful hummock of stately magnolias
and giant hickory trees that crown its top
most peak, and the large pines that stand
upon 1t like giants of the vegetable king
dom can be accounted for. That these
pines are OF greater age than the forests of
the surrounding country is shown by
their being nearly all heart, and by
their huge proportions, Notwithstanding
the almost barren soil that nurtures them.
The two mast-like pine shafts that were
used in constructing the hose towers Of
Defiance and Thronateeska fire companies,
of the city, were cut from this sand hill.
They were apparently twin trees, standing
so close together that man could scarcely
force his body through the space. When
cut they measured over 100 feet long, being
more than 65 feet to the first limb The
cuts were 65 feet, which squared about IL
inches of solid heart

A FEMALE PoISONER.
An Iowa Woman Believed to Have
Poisoned Three Husbands.

OlSOnSu 1uroo auSDanQ5.
Red Oak (Ia.) Special Dispatch
He married his mother-in-law. He is
dead. She is in Jail. He died from poison,
and she Is charged with giving it to him.
The parties lived at Vnlisca, in this county.
The name of the dead man is George r.
Johnston He was a laborer, and his wife
took IN washing. Johnston was taken sick
and IN two weeks died The doctor first
thought he was suffering from bilious
attack, but noted symptoms of poisoning a
day or so before death came. He called
another physician, who agreed that the
symptoms were those of poisoning. A post
mortem examination proved that they were
correct; the dead mans stomach was
found to contain a quantity of arsenic.
About the time Johnston was taken sick his
wife bought a box of trough on rats
While the post norton was in progress she
was discovered secreting the box, which
was nearly empty. She had been heard to
remark that her husband was no account,
and that She would be better off without
hun. When Johnston was fist taken sick
she objected 70 calling q doctor, and John
ston got his brother to summon one, object
ing TO his wife doing it, which she offered
70 do upon hearing him asking his brother.
The coroner's jury declared that roison was
the cause Of death, but shrank from speci-

on coroner's warrant. But after the
funeral Oscar Johnston, brother of the
dead man, swore out an information
charging the widow with administer
ing the poison. State Attorney Bee
son went to Vilisca from here to conduct
the preliminary examination, which lasted
the better part Of three days, and has just
been concluded, with the result of holding
the woman to answer. She was brought
here to-day and lodged in the county jail
She is about As years old, small in stature,
sharp in features and with eyes that are
restless and keen. She exhibits no fear or
feeling, and did not during the inquest and
preliminary examination, except when at
the former the coroner told her to go on
with the officer and get the box Of Rough
on Rats" which she claimed was on a shelf
in the pantry of her house. She went with
the officer, but was plainly perturbed, and
no box was found by her. Johnston was
her third husband and she his second wife,
1T is stated that her other husbands, who
died in Kansas, came to their deaths under
circumstances which puzzled the physicians.
And now the indications are that it is going
to puzzle the woman 10 keep out of the peni-
tertiary.
