In 1885, July 4, the prohibition law in
Iowa went into operation. Several
months elapsed before it was applied in
many localities. It is claimed that the
number of convicts in the State peniten-
tiary was 316, in 1885. In the following
year it had sunk to 286, and in 1883 it
had fallen to 227. Thus we see prohibit
ton pays in Iowa. If it pays in one
State, why will it not in all? Let us be
up and doing.

The N. o. City Item in giving the latest

The N. o. City Item in giving the latest
from Cunningham's "Sugar Land" says:
1t Is within bounds to say that Col.
Cunningham has made 4, 600, 900 pounds of
sugar from 1900 acres of cane. His crop
last year from 1900 acres was not quite
100000 His gain of 100000 pounds
ought to be more than pay for his diffusion
battery in the one season. This big crop
should give great encouragement to the
sugar industry and it's successful harvest
almost wholly by diffusion is likely to have
an important influence in leading to the
adoption Of that process in Louisiana.

PRINCE BISMARCK FEEBLE.
In His Old Age He Is Much Worried
Over Gcrmany's Future.

London Letter in New York Times
Prince Bismarck is, in appearance now fee
BILE old gentleman. Measured by that of some
Of his great contemporaries. his is not so very
advanced an age. He will not be seventy-five
until next April FOOLS day, which means that he
Is nearly fifteen years younger than Count Won
Moltke, who Is still hale and vigorous. Bis
marck, too, is six years younger than Glad
stone, seven younger than Cardinal Manning,
five younger than Leo XIII, and ten years
younger than Prince Gortchakoff was when he
died. But he is not robust at ALL and 1 believe
that he frets great deal over the fear that he
may not last much longer
His face is waxen and fabby and his hands
are those OF very old man-yellow and
swollen in the joints and marked with I'M
naturally big blue veins. He is once more be-
coming very fat abdominally and Dr. Schwen-
niger is at his wits end to keep this flesh down
this time, tor Bismarck is mo longer able to
walk much. To please his physician he tries
from time to time, but his legs hurt him too
much to make this form of exercise possible
All this tends to depress him, and the further
fact that his family have not been long lived
race serves to deepen his conviction that his
days are numbered
This gloom, which has colored his mind for
years, but now increases almost by months,
turns. OF course, upon bis forebodings for Ger
many's future. All that lay within man of his
arlstocratic-I had almost said mediev al-limi-
tations to do, he has done to avert the catas-
trophe which he fears may come after his
death. Especially he has trained his son Her.
bert In all the inner mysteries and traditions of
the German foreign Office, and secured to him
as well as he could the succession to the chan
cellorship. Herbert is not great man. but he
is intelligent and plodding, and has SO thor
oughly imbibed the spirit of his illustrious
rather policy that he fairly exudes il at the
pores.
so far as can be seen now, there would be no
opposition to his succeeding his father. should
the latter die unexpectedly, if only for the rea-
son that nobody else knows anything about the
inside workings of the German foreign Office.
But there are no signs that he would exert any
marked personal influence upon the kaiser and
his court, and there are in the court many
covert. and some few avowed enemies of the
Bismarck dynasty" idea. How the young
kaiser himself stands on this question is not
known, but it is evident enough that those
closest to him are least in sympathy with the
Bismarckian circle, and this is what the old
chancellor fears above all else.

HELD FOR WIFE MURDER.
The Result of the Inquest Held Yester-
day in the Cross Case.

Yesterday afternoon, after THE STARS report
closed, at the inquest held over the remains Of
Hattie Cross several witnesses were examined,
but none of them were able to identify the
dead woman's husband as the man seon run
ming from her. There was not single witness
who saw the shot fired, but Geo. Maier Of Ana
costa heard colored man and woman quarrel
ing. He heard the man say: Il told you not to
follow me, and if you keep following me much
longer I'll be d if don't kill your Maier
went home and told his wife that some niger
would kill his wife tonight" He did not recog-
nize the people nor did he hear the shot fired.
Several boys were called as Witnesses Two of
them claimed to have found the weapon on the
sidewalk. One of them said the weapon was
seven feet from where the woman was lying
and the other said it was Is feet. One of them
asked the man what was the matter, and he re-
piled: "My God! Look what the woman has
done. She has shot herself"
Policeman Henry detailed the circumstances
Of the arrest and DIR. E. NJ. Schaeffer testified
to the result of the autopsy published in
yesterdays STAR.
The jury were satisfied from the proof that
the case was one that needed further judicial
investigation, and in their verdict found that
Hattie Cross death was the result of q pistol
shot wound inflicted by her husband, VIM. d.
Cross. The prisoner was already in Jail. Mr..
c. Maurice Smith, counsel for Cross, was present
at the inquest.

SAMSON LIVES AGAIN.
He is In London and His Arm Is Like a
Lady's Waist.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
There are many Delilahs, but only one Sam
son, and he is performing at the Royal aqua
rum in London at present, where his feats of
strength are certainly Of an original and mar
Vicious character.
The spectator, as he watches, feels that it is
better to be friendly with such man, for with
a blow Of his fist he breaks an iron chain that
will bear pressure Of 5000 pounds. With his
two hands grasping a short chain of 1880
pounds ascertained pressure he makes mo-
mentary effort and pulls the chain to bits, and In
what seems the most wonderful feat, namely,
fastening two tight iron chain bracelets or
armlets around his biceps-thc spectator may
view the process from beginning to end. One
hears the strong man take long breath, sees
the muscles Of his arm growing bigger and big
ger, the cords Of his neck swelling with the
sustained effort, his face crimsoning, and then
In the silence those nearest the stage can hear
curious little sundering snap. 1t is the dou-
bic chain armlet that has broken and which
the next second falls ringing to the floor.
When Samson's fist 10 clinched ready to
strike the measurement Of his upper arm round
biceps and triceps is 1917 inches, which, We may
causually remark, is considered q tolerable
waist for young lady.

FASHIONS PRETTY FANCIEs.

n NEW SHAPE In long cl0akS IS called the
Hamlet.
The ART Gown Of white calls for dog collar,
girdle and cuffs of gold passementerie.
The MOST PERFECT limitations Of autumn's
choicest fruits have become part of the
daintiest hats and bonnets.
EGYPTIAN TEA-GowNs over like silk petit
coats upon the delicately tinted ground work of
which are found erratic Indian figures in the
most brilliant tints, are worn.
SOME OF THE NEW WRAPS are shaped like
capes in the back and barely reach to the
waist, but they are long enough in front to
touch the edge of the dress.
YELLOW, GoLDEN-HUED AND WARM, will be
much used as trimming. If you can strike
just the right tone you will find it. though you
may be the blondest OF blondes, most becom-
ing color.
prominent in favor. Fur capes or fat tippets
are more fashionable than boas, though the
latter will be worn by many who fancy them.
ODD BITs OF EMBRoIDERIEs that look as il
they might have been stolen from the altar
cloth of some Greek temple or from the ward
robe OF an eastern princess rare old laces and,
indeed, every fabric that carries upon its richly
woven surface and holds in its silken threads o
history, are now in great demand.
VERoNEsE RED PLUSH will be very much
used this season for opera cloaks, a point of
economy being gained when one cannot afford
several white wraps for the winters campaign.
Deep turnover collars of blue fox, Russian
sable or brown bear are features that add
much to the becomingness of these garments.
The LAcEs are nearly all of the Velasquez
order this year-that is, arranged in distinct
points-and some of the Calais and Lyons
makes are effective looking without being ex-
pensive. The patterns are of the Irish point
order, and prove very effective when applied
as wristbands and skirt trimmings. A beauti-
full novelty in Chantilly laces, of depth suf-
ficient to reach from the chin to the hem, has
the pattern wrought in subdued colored silk
instead of black. This is q decided novelty
and an excellent one.
The FASHIONABLE CoLoRs will be old rose,
calls liver, an exquisite soft shade of brownish
garnet, a new blue trife grayer than the
cadet blue, bronze, olive, myrtle green, golden
brown, silver gray and pale blue. The COM
blnatlons OF these shades are daring but pref
tier than ever. Bronze and brown, old rose
and olive. old rose and black, and olive and blue
are favorite minglings, but all the familiar
combinations, old gold and black and green
and black, are as fashionable as ever.
AMONG THE JACKETS are many with straight
fronts rolled back to show some portion of the
lining and little of the vest. They come in
many colors. The light browns are trimmed
with gold braid. Sometimes the entire vest is
of heavy. braid. The more striking ones are
grass green, lined with white and braided in
black or a corresponding shade of green.
Another, white cloth jacket embroidered IN
gold fligree. to be worn when driving, is par
ticularly fetching. The military jackets have
no vests. They are looped down the front, fit
perfectly over the hips and are braided in
straight and slanting lines.

Novelties in Jewelry.

From the Jewellers Weekly.
And still the cry is ''colored pearls"
Brooches of twisted wire now come with pearl
clusters in the center.
The gold knob as an umbrella handle is again
making its appearance.
Open roses in dull gold comprise an attractive
line in queen chain pendants.
There is every appearance of a revival Of the
time-worn double shawl pin.
Semicircles OF white enamel daisies with dia-
mond centers are worn as sc arf-pins.
Glove buttoners composed Of long gold whips
with twisted lashes are much in vogue.
Brooches OF orange blossoms with small
stones in the petals make excellent ornaments.
One of the most stylish fobs for ladies is a
tiny engraved seal trimmed with small gems
Many fligree gold hairpin tops bearing pre-
cious stone ornamentation are being worm
Another hairpin has q small sea she'll en-
ameled in many colors and set with single
pearl
Moonstone figures with raised diamond orna-
mentations comprise popular line OF brooches
Square nugget-fnished cuff buttons are set
with a ruby at each end and a diamond in the
center.
An innovation in thimbles has come to light
1t is a rose in gold followed out in the center
for the finger.
The newest ladies' sleeve buttons are of pol
ished gold, oval in form. with ragged edges
and turquoise centers.
Paris is the birthplace Of a new ring box
composed exclusively Of porcelain with a min
iature painting on top.
Quite effective is lace-pin composed of two
horseshoes overlapping one Of white and the
other of pink pearls.
An elaborate arrangement for the corsage
consists OF rows of large and small stones set
closely on an oval background of pale blue
enamel.
Accurately simulated lilies Of the valley in
enamel, with the white bells lying in long
green leaf, are among a batch Of new hairpiQ
tops.
Two perfectly counterfeited strawberries in
garnets, hanging at right angles from a narrow
band of gold, constitute charming brooch de-
sign.
An artistic and rich brooch is formed in imi-
tation of n hat of the Gainsborough type, the
side that is turned up being studded with dia-
monds.
A notable addition to gents cuff buttons is
one with polished gold surface containing
two slanting lines OF diamonds with q ruby
resting between.
A popular fad at present is bracelet COM
posed OF square patches of variegated gold
fastened to one another by tiny gold pins and
with ieweled centers.
A superbly-fnished brooch to which atten-
ton is directed is dragon fy, the wings of
which are Of black enamel streaked with gold.
The body is composed of an oval opal, while q
fiery ruby shines from the head.
