THE RELENTLESS FEups.

The distinguishing social characteristics of
this uncomfortable band is the relentless feuds
that they wage so bitterly and persistently.
Some Of these are well known. Craig Tolliver
wasfamous, as are the Hatfields and McCoys, and
the French-Eversole war. But these are only
notable examples. There is scarcely county
where there is not an inherited quarrel that
seems to gain in bitterness and cruelty. Men
60 armed TO the teeth, and an accidental meet
ing with an enemy is a signal for an open
battle. Nor is the fight always open-men are
shot from behind trees, from the houses, from
any spot that affords q favorable ambush. In
q town where spent several days a man was
shot from the window of the half finished
courthouse. He had killed one of the opposite
faction q few years ago in revenge for some
earlier murder; his death must be avenged.
Sometimes the latest offender il brought to
trial, but testimony Is for sale, and the court
conducts itself with an admirable neutrality, 90
he usually ''comes clar." This unpleasantness
is not apt to affect q traveller, however, unless
he is unwise enough to take part Of his own
accord. One Of the kindest men met in that
part of the state bore twenty-eight bullet
marks a. an evidence Of his prowess. He was
tall, handsome fellow, perfectly fearless, q
terror to his enemies, but TO us he was kind
ness itself. He was Q striking product Of this
strange state Of social disorder. n. L. B. Y.

Panels, too, are giving way to trimming upon
the front Of the skirt, or openings front and
back, through which the thin gauze or silk
plating Of the skirt is visible. The crossed
effect from the right Of the shoulder to the
left Of the bodice Is growing more and more
fashionable and gives certain style to very
simple toilets.
THE PRESENT RAGE.
There is another thing that is curious in New
York society, and that is the absolute ban that
has been put upon the fancy dress ball. The
last of any importance that has occurred in the
metropolis was given some years ago by Mrs.
VIM. z. Vanderbilt, and seems to have nearly
wrecked society, for Lady Vaudeville, in whose
honor 1t was given. has never visited this coun-
try since, and no one else has had the temeritv
to follow Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt's example.
The present rage is for theater parties and din
ner giving. Parties no longer consist of three
or four or half q dozen, as formerly, but of a
dozen or twenty. The ladies, of course, do not
remove their bonnets, but they wear kind
that look more like jeweled head gear than a
covering for protection, and their dinner or
afternoon costumes are enriched with embroi-
derry, lace, and jewels, and often exhibit charm
ing combinations Of color and quaintness of
form.
PINK DINNER

were six ladies as guests, and their toilets were

GAMBLING IN THE WEST.
social revolution is now in progress here
and elsewhere in the west, which means the
certain downfall Of the gambler and the
destruction Of the gambling bells which have
so long been Q blot on the fair face of western
civilization. In Montana q strong effort is
being made to abolish licensed gambling. In
Helena nearly every store window bears the
inscription, Licensed Gambling" The games
of chance are in full blast at ali hours, and Of
course there is no effort to screen the game or
the players from public view. The newspapers
are making crusade against this element
which has proved q clog to the wheels of pro-
gress. It is realized that gaming is conducive
to retrogression not advancement. The Mon
tana papers are clamoring for legislative enact
ment providing for the suppression of gaming
In Tacoma gambling cannot be carried on
police connive. A club, such as the many
Washington has, to provide drink for its MEM
bers on Sunday, and gambling every day and
night, cannot be disturbed here either. There
is one licensed ''show" house here which has
been in operation for some time, where it is
alleged all sorts of skin games are played
The Tacoma Ledger Is paying its respects to the
proprietor Of the place. It Is said that this
variety theater, so-called, IL q resort for the
most abandoned characters Of both sexes; that
men are robbed there, even murdered, and
young girls drugged and ruined. The Ledger
Office was set on fire soon after IL began its
attack on this resort, aud it is openly stated
that one OF the frequenters Of the dive was the
incendiary. A one thousand dollars reward 10
offered by the proprietor Of the paper for the
apprehension Of the guilty person. It is prob
able that before the Ledger crusade ID at an end
the objectionable dive win be wiped out Of sx-
istence.

1t is very gratifying to observe the general in-
terest now being manifested In the reform of our
election laws. Those who have been for years
calling attention to the pressing necessity of
throwing about the ballot box and about the
eector further safeguards in order that oar cleo
clearly appear to be SO, will welcome the acces-
sion of any who did not SO soon discover the need
of reform. The national congress has not as
yet taken control of elections in that case over
which the constitution gives it jurisdictitn n.
but has accepted and adopted the election laws
of the several states, provided penalties for their
insfficiency of the state laws of an unfair or
partisan administration OF them could suggest q
departure from this policy. 1t was clearly. how
ever, in the contemplation of the trainers of the
constitution that such an EFFICIENCY might arise,
and provision was wisely made for it The free
dom of the ballot is a condition Of our national
executive to secure or perpetuate it, should re-

all the congressional districts have an equal in

such elections are not local. and the in
that they shall be pure and free, does not SAVIOR

is education. The .ympsthies and help to our

Dickinson and viIss Sued.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 5.-Henry
Spaulding, q claim agent of this city. has
brought suits for 100000 in each case
against William F. Villas, former post
master general, and Don NJ. Dickinson. the
present head Of the postofice department.
Mr.. Spauldng alleges that large number
of postmasters of the third, fourth and
fifth classes put their claims against the
government for readjustment of salary in
his hands, and that after much labor aud
expense he secured the passage of an act by
congress directing the postmaster general
to resdjust these claims. He charges that
both Mr.. Villas and Mr.. Dickinson, in their
capacity as postmaster general, have hsr-
rassed him in every possible way in the
presentation of these claims: that they
have, with malicious intent to injure
his business, caused drafts for the
payment of postmasters accounts adjusted to
be sent to the postmaster. accompanied
by circular stating that no agent was need
ed to prosecute these claims, the purpose
being to have the plaintiffs clients believe

ton 10 him for the fees agreed upon.
