VIII Davenport Eater the WESTERN
Within the past few days the base ball
situation in Davenport has assumed a
new aspect. and the enthusiasts of the
national game are pressing forward
every effort to revive the professional
club and put it in the Western associa>
ton, thus filling The present vacancy
there. President Morton has called a
meeting of the Western association in

thing between President Morton and Mr..
Lucas that Davenport will be admitted.
Mr.. Lucas IS attending the meeting
Since The old Davenport association re-
fuses 10 have anything more to do with

oils has forfeited her franchise in the
Western association, it is proposed to

it will be the Chicago Maroons and the
place of Minneapolis will be filled by

THE MILLlNER'S MIRROR.
Interesting Characteristics of Those
Who Parade Before it.
Buying New Bonnet and the DIM

do the seiIing---W no are Hardest TO
suit.

"Many a woman has paraded her van
ity before that mirror" was the remark
addressed by fashionable lady to
miliner the other day, after she had fin
Ished trying on her new headgear and
stood gazing with satisfaction at the re-
Election before her.
"Ah, yes, many sweet and beautiful
women have stood before that glass. and
many that are beautiful and sweet in So
ciety, but not so sweet to us shop people.
You can readily believe that ladies show
good deal of their true natures in the
process of trying on either bonnets or
gowns Some are very hard to. please, but
find the fault in themselves and not al
ways in our creations. Others are not
only very easy to please, but really anus
ing in their reliance on their own beauty,
seeming 10 think that they look well in
everything, and then again there are
some ladies who would take mlllIner's
fortune AS 'tryers on, for they have faces
that do look well in every kind of bonnet
nearly. but these. by some strange lack OF
vanity. 90 not seem to recognize their
own gift of beauty. 1t is true that the
homliest ladies among my customers are
the hardest to please, and often are those
who select bonnets and hats of the most
trying STYLES. | sometimes think that
every mirror hanging in the miliner's or
modesto room ought to have that line,

scribed IN big letters ON the frame
Young girls find it more difficult 10
please themselves in their school hats
than in thei- dress hats even. You would
never dream how particular they are, how
they will stand before the glass, and how
many shapes they will try on before they
decide on some inexpensive straw or felt,
returning at last most likely to the one
first picked out.
Ladies are hard to suit in their we'd
ding travelling hats, and it is not unusual
for bride elect to bring her fiance to
help her choose such a hat. Then we do
have time-lhe glass and |. Every hat
in the shop is likely to he tried on, not
with the slightest expectation of taking

Of the thing and the compliments elected
But the hardest women to please are
widows just Tightening their mourning
To them nothing seems just right
Signs of widowhood are chung to tens
aCiously, but the hat must express a GER
tain sentiment of hope; the dawn of hap
pier days must softly announce itself in
the important change from sombre crepe
to simple black, snd vet the bonnet must
bear marks of wIdowhood quite distinct
from the moderate mourning for pateTnal,
sisterly or fraternal loss. 1t is avery nice
discrimination that has to be made, and
the becoming widows ruche is rarely
discarded so long as black is retained at
all " Yes. concluded the astute mil
liner, some very handsome widows have
spent long hours before that glass and it
is amazing with what enjoyment they
will try on colored hornets behind the
screen, though they have no intention of
wearing colors.'

In your columns that Senator Harris
will address the people of Montgom-
cry county at Clarksville ON the 18th
instant. AS Montgomery is one of
the counties deeply interested in the
the Improvement of the Cumberland
river, it might be well for the dis
tinguished Senator to give the people
his record, since he has been in the
Senate, on the question of appropria-
tions by the General Government for
the improvement Of our rivers. The
people Of that county, as this is one
of the liveAquentons affecting their
local interests,Would be greatly .con-
cerned to knowh6w Senator Harris
stands on this hll-impcxtant question.
They are not concerned'a 'abput know
ing how he (has votel en- amend
ments to the river and harbor bill,
but how his vote has been cast OH the
final passage. The latter Is the ques-
ton about which they are anxious
to have information. Men ought to
be elected to Congress Tor what
they are supposed to be for, and for
what they will do. 1t Is no reflec-
tion on any candidate to say he is
opposed to such appropriations, but
if he is, the people have right to
know. DEMOCRAT.
