shaped polonaise has wired collar of black
Chantilly. Its round fronts meet below
the waist line, leaving room for the dis
play of folded bodice of paler rose tulle
held by diamond star on the bosom.
Narrow sable bands lend that warmth and
luxury of fur without which so few winter
toilets can feel themselves quite satisfied.
One of the few modistes who are able to
rival French artists in such matters has in
hand number of reception and opera
cloaks, a glance at which speaks more elo-
quently than dozen essays on the magnif-
cence of modern living. A robins egg
blue brocade of silk and velvet is the ma
terlal of one, the brocade pattern q bird in
g swing. The cloak is made with IA smooth
fitting velvet yoke covered with delicate
sable-lined collar, from which the face peers
out as from nest of cosress and luxury.
Around the shoulders. in emulation of the
collar, rises high, odl flare of brocade.
Another rich garment is a mantel of moss
green plush. whose long sleeves, approach
shoulder pieces to the hem, finished with
broad feather bands and hanging in shawl
like folds. Irish cloaks are seen in silvery
camel's hair, hand embroidered in gold and
silver and ruched with white ostrich
feathers. A long French redingote when
psa1s willow . ssssn but tea when sg
taken to the opera reveals itself as deli
cato yellow. Its material is a heavy,
watered silk and it is made with wide boy
plaits in the back and bordered with full
cabbage ruching. The fashion is coming
back of lining elegant long cloaks with fur.
White is not chosen as formerly but wrap
of fawn or chestnut velvet will be lined |
throughout with mink and have a deep
mink cape collar.
For a wedding to take place on Christmas
eve here is pretty bridal gown. 1t is made |
of white bengaline with princess train;
the front is fecked with sprays of roses en-
broidered in silver and opens over kilt |
plated petticoat; the silk is caught up about |
the bottom in intervals with punches of |
white plumes. The bridesmaids are to wear
very quaint dresses, three of gray and three |
of yellow brocaded satin, in Van Dyke |
style, with deep collars, high sashes of null |
and bouquets Of violets. ELLEN OSBORN.

DEAD.

6. The death ofex-Senator Riddleberger
removes prominent figure from Vir-
ginia politics. A man Of much ability,
he lacked the will power to keep his
passions subservient to the march OF
his mind, aud thus at the turning point
of his political career he succumbed
to personal indulgencies which
brought him prematurely to the grave.
Those who knew him best praise him
for disinterestedness and generosity,
while those who liked him least are
compelled to admit there was nothing
dark or hidden in his vices, but that
they were as we'll known to his enc
mics as to his most intimate friends.
Had his political course been different ;
had he been acting all along
with the democratic majority Of the
state, to which he at first belonged.
his path in public life would have been
smoother and his services to his native
state greater and more enduring. The
following brief biographical sketch is
appended:
Harrison Holt Riddleberger was
born at Edinburg, Shenandoah county,
Va, October 4th, 1874. He had
common school education, and then
studied with tutor at home for two
years. He was seventeen years old
when the war began, and was for three
years in the Confederate army as lieu
tenant of infantry and captain of cav
airy. After the war he studied law
and was admitted to the bar, beginning
his practice at Woodstock, where his
home was. For two terms he was
Commonwea,th's attorney for his
county, he served four years in the
Hooss of Delegates, and for similar
; period in the State Senate. He was
member of the democratic state COM
mittee until fSG5, presidential elect
or on the democratic ticket in 1876 and
on the readjuster ticket in 1880. In
1883 he entered the United States
Senate as readjuster, and his term OF
service end ID in 1889. In the mean
time he had several contentious with
his colleague, General Malone, and
during the last campaign, as republi-
can ~AlScker" he opposed Malone.
86ce 1870 be has been editor Of three
papers-"The Tenth Legion y THE

INCREASE OF THE NAVY.

Senator Hale's bill, approprlating
s7,000,000 for the increase Of the naval
establishment, has been reported on
favorably by the senate committee on
naval affairs. and, judging by ths
expressions Of public opinion and the
action of both houses of congress on
this important subject, not many years
will elapse before the United States
will have a navy worthy the wealth
and greatness of this country. With
he increase of the navy will come a
smand for more officers, and Southern

The leading citizens of Lynchburg
seem to regard Delegate Peters prop
osition to remove the state capital there
as Joke. In the first place. in the
impoverished condition Of the state,
the scheme is wholly unfeasible from d
financial standpoint, and in the second
place there are too many sacred mem
cries clustering around Richmond for
our people to desire any change in the
location of the capitol. Lynchburs, no
doubt, offers some advantages for the
removal, but they do not compare with
the reasons for not making any change
in this respect, and all further Discus
sion of the question 10 mere waste OF
time. Outside Of Richmond there is u o
city in the state which can compare
with Roanoke as the place in which to
locate the capital, but this city is too
busy looking after it's industrial and
commercial interests to desire any
change in existing political conditions
hence, our people are in favor ofletting
we'll enough alone.
