PRESS ASSOCIATION.

The executive committee OF the State
Press Association held a meeting at the
Monroe house in Jefferson City last
week. All the members OF the COM
mittee were present.
The meeting was called to order by
President Williams, who stated that the
the object of the meeting was to select
a time and place for holding the annual
press convention.
The first business taken up was to
hear from the representatives OF the
various cities offering inducements for
the convention.
Mr.. Speed, of the Nevada Maif, pre-
sented the claim of Nevada.
MIR. Fish presented the claim of Ex-
celsior Springs, Clay county.
Excelsior Springs and Nevada were
the only places named. Before ballot
ing MIR. Il. b. Speed was elected re-
cording secretary, vice j. FL. Turner OF
the Carrollton Record, deceased.
A ballot on the place for holding the
convention resulted in favor of Nevada,
the vote standing:-Nevada, 4; Excel
sior Springs, 1.
1t was unanimously decided TO hold
the convention at Nevada, commencin e
Tuesday, May 2l, and programme OF
unusual interest will be arranged for 8
two days session. 1t was also decided
that the members of the association
should make up an excursion to Excel
sior Springs at the conclusion OF the
session.
The following resolutions were then
adopted:
Whereas, Captain j I'll Turner, tol
many years corresponding secretary o.
the Missouri Press Association, depart
ed this life since the last meeting o.
that body; be it
Resolved by this executive commit
tee, That in the death of Capt. Turner

| each member of this committee per
sonal and valued friend.
Resolved, That the secretary be au
thorlzed TO transmit a copy of these
resolutions to the family OF Capt. Tur
ner, with the assurance of our sincer
and heartfelt sympathy in their bereave
ment.
No other business of importance wa
| transacted.

MRS. CLEVELAND AS A RIFLE SHOT.
From the Baltimore American.

ltrom the baltimore Amerlcan.l
Mrs. Cleveland is very skillful in the
use of the rifle and made some remark
able scores at Saranac lake, in the
Adirondacks, where she spent part of
the autumn with her mother. In her
luggage was a gun case which held a
lady's rifle, made for especial use and a
model OF the gunmakers' art. She
handles this tirearm lovingly, and
knows its good points as well as Carver
knows those of the weapon that has
stood him in good stead in his exhi-
bitions of skill. Mrs. Cleveland has
bread shoulders and large well devel-
oped arms, and can handle with per-
feet ease u much heavier rife than the
ordinary woman could lift. She swings
,, it up to her shoulder, looks along the
barrel with keen eye, and her finger
on the trigger is as steady as if firearms
had been the natural play things of
women time out of mind. She shot at
target at Saranac, but did not
attempt bird shooting and the use of
shotgun. She can show score of five
out OF a possible seven bull's-eyes at
two hundred yards, and the target got
peppered all over,til its resemblance to
the freckled couutenance OF a small
bov was remarked by all the cottagcrs
at Saranoc.

MORE ABOUT THE FLANNEL SHIRT.
ut Has Come 10 Stay-How Fiannei
ShOaId he washed.

The flannel shirt has come to stay, il
the Haberdasher is to be believed.
This season has settled that fact De-
yond question. Never before mas there
been so many goods sold by the manu-
facturer 10 the retailer; never before
has the retailer sold out so thoroughiy'
never before has the public bought
flannels so readily, so expenslVeIy, OF
used them for such variety OF purposes
Their comfort, convenience and fitness
as hot weather garments has become SO
fairly fixed that to question 1t Is idle.
A year ago manufacturers went into
fanneIs with good deal of confidence
on their behalf, but there was a good
deal of quiet questioning whether or
not the retailers would be able 10
"clear up" all their purchases. Some
thought they wonld not, that the
demand for flannel shirts was tenn
pOrary thing, and that retailers would
suffer. There is no such belief this
year, and the manufacturers are max
ing purchases of fannels for next
season which indicate freedom from
timidity.
The apparently high cost of flannel
shirts as it appears to the customer, is
easily explained away. lt uoes seem
somewhat expensive to the man who
pays the bin to pay from S3 to 81 for a
shirt which bad washing causes to
shrink ont of use i'm one season.
"Well," said the dealer, "you actual
lv save money on your flannel shirts.
Suppose you do pay twice as much for
flannel rs You do for white shirt.
aud that the former only lasts half as
long. TO begin with. You only require
one third as many flannels rs white,
so that your investment is not as much,
even if you. wear them only one season,
and during that season you will save
fifty cents week on your laundry bill,
so that you will actually make money.
But there is no reason why your flannel
shirts need last only one season. 1t
is only a question of washing them
properly, and they will last as long as
you want to wear them"
| This feature of washing 80 as not to
shrink flannels is an important one.
Some laundries have learned how to do
it, and guarantee not to shrink fannels.
TO aid in making this knowledge some
maputacturers have printed instruc-
tions accompanying each garment; and
those who do not send out such in
structious should do 1t.

DISADVANTAGE OF BEING TALL.

The tallest girl in the country-saia
to stand seven feet and two inches in
her French heeled shoes-has Just died
at Richmond, Va, and, strange to say,
her loss is not generally lamented.
The poor thing was an inveterate
theater goer, and when she crowned
her royal seven feet OF person with a
six by nine hat and went to the play,
all behind her was an innocuous de-

0SAAN DIGNA.

1t is reported that Osman Digna has
been appropriating and aunexing the
wives of his followers around Han
doub because these masculine warriors
chewed tobacco, in contravention of
the rules laid down by the Mahdi. In
some countries an inexorable law of
this kind might lead to an extra con-
sumption OF tobacco.

Where did you get that little tear?

What makes your forehead so smooth and

soft hand stroked Ii as l went by.
What makes your cheek like warm white

saw something better than any one knows.
Whence that three.cornered smile Of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once kiss.
Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made llseii into hooks and bands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling
things?
From the same box as the cherub's wings.
How did they all come Just to be you?
God Thought of me, and so / grow.
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought of you, and so am here.

BridQe Disaster.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 2O.-Onicers
Of the steamer Dawes, which arrived here
this evening, report a disastrous wreck on
the Louisville, st. Louis & Texas Rail
road bridge across Green river at Scots
vile, Kentucky, eighteen miles above
this city, in which five men we're drowned
and several fatally injured.
There are no telegraphic or telephone
communication from hat point, but the
facts, as near as can be asccrtained, are as
follows:
Last Thursday the Louisville, st. Louis
& Texas Railroad company was granted
an Injunction by the circuit court against
the bridge company from interfering with
plaintiff s trains running over the bridge.
The order, 1t seems, was obeyed until this
morning. when the bridge company sent
a force of men to the bridge, driving the
railroad employees off, and at once com
menced tearing up the tracks and a por-
ton of the ties from the draw OF the
bridge.
About $3.50 o'clock this afternoon, while
the work of tearing up the ties was in
progress, the d%ismantling Of one OF the
draws caused the opposite end to over
balance, when it broke in two, precipitat-
ing about tv cnty workmen into the river,
five OF whom are known to have been
drowned aud seven seriously if not fatally
injured by falling timbers and iron.
Later reports from the scene say a
dozen we're killed. No names of the dead
are yet Obtainable.

England and Samoa

LONDON. Jan 2l.-ls is stated on trust
worthy authority>that the British govern
msnt has decided to uphold the treaty by
the terms of which European power are
precluded from obtaining, or attempting
to obtain, dominance in Samoa. The
government has been fully informed of
and shares in the United States govern
ment's views on the subject. 1t is agreed
that the action Of German agents in Samoa
is opposed to the letter and spirit of the
treaty; that it violates Diplomacy and Ell
quette and endangers the good relations
so necessary for Europeans to preserve
when dealing with semi barbarous ma
tons.
Dispatches 20 this effect have been sent
to Berlin. Lord Salisturry's la'est new
from Apia is of a threatening nature. lu
consequence of these advices the British
feet in the Pacific will be increased imme-
diately by at least two powerful vessels.
After Mr.. Phelps had left Lord Sails
bury to-day, Count Won Hatzfeldt, Ger,
man ambassador, had an interview with
the prime minister. A Chronicle re-
porter at Berlin learned on good authority
that Germany has come to a definite I'M
derstanding with the United States with
regard to Samoan affairs.

WRECKED IN STORM.
The Tug Morse With Two
Barges Encounters a Storm.
All Three Boats Rapidly
Dashed to Pieces.
Gallant Work of a Life
Saving Crew.

BosToN. Jan. 2l.-Capt. Blair with
the tug Morse started from Boston last
Saturday for Vineyard Haven. The tug
was en- route to Portland with two barges.
At IL p. m. Sunday when off Race Point
she encountered q terrific hurricane with
a heavy snow storm. About 2:3O this
morning she struck on Hardin's Ledge.
When the tug went ashore the barges
Josephine and Banyan IN tow dragged
heavily and soon the ropes parted. When
the Morse struck she began to leak and
filled rapidly, compelling the crew of
eighteen To take to the rigging. Fireman
Carlton volunteered to reach the shore in
a small boat, but was drowned soon after.
The Bull life saving crew sighted the tug
and shot a life line on board. 1t was
made fast and all the men on board res
cued in an exhausted condition. The tug
and both barges will be a total loss.
The barge Banyan, with a crew of four
men. went down almost immediately after
striking. All of the crew we're lost as far
as known except the captain, Lund. The
Josephine. after striking on the ledge. was
lifted off by a sea and driven with great
rapidity toward the shore. She was soon
dashed to pieces and two of the crew
drowned. The others reached shore after
terrible suffering.
The rescue of seventeen men from the
Morse makes the total of forty-ive lives
saved thus far this winter by the heroes of
the Bull.
