FAST LOSING CASTE.

The people Of Nevada returned Bill
Stewart, Of California, to the Senate
under protest. The Central Pacific
Railroad bought his seat for HIM, pay
ing $4,000. After he got in he demaA
gogued and blatherskited through
the press in a way to give himself
considerable notoriety and some
seeming popularity among the people.
1t was not real but fictitious, and
now he is going entirely out Of sight,
sinking lower and lower day by day
in public esteem. Since the close of
the recent campaign the people seem
to have lost all respect for him. He
is regarded as the banner demsgogue
of the century, and incapable Of tell
ing the truth about anything. A Re-
publican in Reno has offered to bet
500 that he cannot be trusted to tell
the truth about even so unimportant
matter as the time of day. The
Virginia Chronicle relates the follow
ing:
Stewart, at Reno, before tho cleo
ton, made the same ridiculous asser-
tions that he did in his speech at Vir-
ginia City. He repeated the balder-
dash about the present alleged silver
law being better than free coinage;
the coinage capacity Of the United
States mints being only s2O00,00O per
month, etc. A Disguised Republican,
who was one Of the audience, after the
meeting offered to bet 500 if any one
asked Stewart what time it was that,
after looking Mt his watch, he couldn't
or wouldn't come within fifteen
minutes Of answering the question
truthfully.
That is about the size Of it. But

old prevaricator two years hence. A

HEDGING.

John Ainley, one of the Assembly
men-elect from this county, was in
favor Of the Australian ballot system
OF voting until recently, but now a
change seems to have come over the
spirit Of his dreams, and he says he is
not in favor Of the measure. When
asked why, he said that 1T will give
too much opportunity for fraud in
elections. He also says that he con-
sidcrs our election laws better
than the Australian system.
1t seems little strange that an in
telligent man should announce that
our present system, which permits
the wholesale and open purchase Of
votes, system by which any man can
DO elected to any Office in the State,
provided he puts up sufficient
amount of coin, is better for the peo-
pie and will entail less amount of
fraud than system which precludes
the possibility Of purchasing votes
and insures a fair expression of the
will of the people in the selection of
officers. 1t may be possible that Mr..
Ainley Is paving the way to oppose
the adoption Of the Australian ballot
system, provided that when the Legis-
lature meets he shall find a majority
of his party forninst the measure.
The system has proved admirable in
the accomplishment of the object
which was sought in it's adoption
wherever it has been tried, and we do
not believe the honest men Of either
party will uphold their representa-
tives in opposing it's adoption in Ne
yada.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The girl of the
period was so bountifully provided for
IN the way of characteristic costumes for
each of. her summer amuSements that
she has become eXigeante, and is not
content with her ball and opera toi-
letteS, her dinner. reception and street
costumes: her habit and hunting rig,
and her various house neglgees: but
she must also have her Sleighing. tobog-
aiming and skating togs. And each one
must be original and striking. and cal
culated to SET off to the utmost all her
charms of figure and face. it may be
argued that it is rather early days to be
providing for diversions which the
weather may prohibit during the whole
season; but it seems to be the general
opinion that this is to be a severe win
ter-a regular old-timer-a that the
lovers of snow and ice will have all they
want and more. too, between now and
next April. AT least so seems to say all
this array of fur and feathers, and thick
woolly fabrics which crowd the shop
counters and find eager purchasers each
day. So we IN ay take for granted that
the skater will have her ice frolic, and
now the question is, What shall she
wear when she starts out for lake or
river?
In some models now being prepared
by Redfern. the material is handsome
faced cloth of rather substantial texture.

an illusion for the spectators. That
sort of snake would never do for the
cleopatra" fin de steele and the real
ism of the theater nowadays. The
snake that was about to make his debut
was spoken of in the newspapers just
as much as MesSrs. Sardou and
Shakespeare. A little more and
he might divide the honors with
Sarah Bernhardt and M. GARNER. If
the asp imagined that he would receive
such magnificent apotheosis, he must
now cut down a good deal of his pre-
tensions, for he actually spoiled the
death scene in the play. When he
crawlcd out of his basket his move
ments were watched with so much
curiosity that there were no eyes for the
great artistic, whose splendid death, so
to say, was completely lost in the twists
of the snake. Antony and Cleopatra at
that moment, indeed!
Nothing could be more alive than that
nasty little snake. For a second he
could be seen crawling over Sarah's
neck, and then the little rascal crawled
slowly under the folds of her tunic. How
could the talent of great actress strug-
gle for the prize of attention with such
a phenomenon? The calm death with
out spasms or contortions, and the last
cry of Cleopatra. of the woman, asking
for a looking-glaSs to see if she still re-

she was about to eXpire-all that was
lost by the scalawag little snake whose
outlines under the tunlc of Cleopatra

The good old-fa3hioned idea that
these two, and new music, were the

since exploded, mirabile dictu, and men

Again to enforce the yellow garter

the Order of the Garter-how the Count
ess of Salisbury, in dancing at a ball,
dropped her garter; how King Edward
Ill. gallantly picked it up and restored
it to its owner; how his majesty, OBJ
serving the suggestive smiles of the
attending courtierS, rebuked them with
his famous utterance: "Honi soft Qui
NAL y penSe."
Shortly afterward he instituted the
Order of the Garter as an incentive to
chivalry among his mobiles. During his
reign and until the close of that of Ed
ward W.. women were invested with
the Order of the Garter, and this dis
tinction was taken from them probably
because the garter proper could not be
seen when worn by them. In the days

time and again an inspiration to lovers
and poets. 1t is within the last two or
three years that garters have taken on
such splendOr of appearance, accom-
panied by equal Splendor of cost. There
are many pairs of garters in New York
that have'coSt 1920. A very splendid
pair is owned by Mrs. William ii. White.
The buckles are of fretted gold, and
each half contains large solitaire.
This pair cost $500.

of garters, each of them given her by a
different party. The cheapest of them
cost certainly not less than $50, while
there are at least two pairs Of them
which must have cost close on TO 81, 900.
One pair she has which shows in each
buckle the pretty intertwined l.. L.,
which she uses as monogram. In each
bu exile one l.. is of sapphires and the
other of diamonds. Another lovely pair
has the buckle formed by a very large
hook and eye studded thick with tiny
diamonds, and still another has large
square buckles of dull gold. on which,
in white enamel, is wrought cluster
of white lilies.
One of the most expensive pair of
garters ever made in New York belongs
to Mrs. Huntington. The buckles con-
tain four large topaz stones, each as
large as an olive. They are so beauti-

is surrounded by a row of diamonds,
and on the inner side of each buckle
Mrs. Huntington's monogram and ad-
dress are engraved. Of course these
buckles are attached to yellow silk elas-
tic.
Another exquisite pair of buckles is
attached to the yellow silken band
which supports the dainty hose of the
Marquise LAMA. The square buckles
are of the yellowest Etruscan gold.
Each buckle has little cluster of
forget-me-nots in blue enamel and
daisies in white ana yellow. The little
leaves of the flowers are veined with

admiration and skill Of sixty or seventy
hunters. 1t is also not unusual to have
cut in the ribs of the smaller fans a
brief account of the circumstances
under which the giver of the attached
feathers shot the bird. The German
Empress Augusta Victoria is said to
have expressed wish last summer to
have such fan, and ever since that
time the young bloods of the Austrian
