A NEW NEW ENGLAND.

at the banquet given in Roanoke
Thursday night to the Massachusetts
editors, Mr.. E. G.. BROWN, of Bunker
Hill, spoke of the furnaces that had
gone out in his State, the reason
being, said he, THAT they had been
lighted in Southwest Virginia, That
is about the truth of the matter, in q
nutshell.-Norfolk Public Ledger.
1t is one of the memorable laws of
progress in this age that The manufac-
turers are obliged to be close TO their
raw materials.
Mr.. BROWN is not only the editor of
one Of the most influential newspapers
IN the State, but he is capitalist, and
he sees the way the wind is blowing.
For years New England has been the
manufacturing centre of the country, its
mills and factories are famous the
world over for their products, but they
are now on the wane.
Competition is the cause. The
South has always been producer OF
raw materials, and it now proposes
not only to produce but to utilize
them. This will bring wealth and
prosperity to the country. No sec
ton can compete with 1T now
that there is both capital and ma
terial here.
The New Englanders are too shrewd
not to see this and two frank not to
admit it. They see that the South is
the coming section and as an earnest
of this belief they are putting their
money in it.

Apocr WHISKY DRrNKlNa.

The contest in Iowa in behalf Of
prohibition bids fair to encourage that
worst of all vlces-home drinking.
The saloon keepers declare that they
will stand sqdarcly upon their professed
right to sell liquor in the original pack
ages aud will fight the matter to the
court Of last resort. Just what an
original package is has not yet heen
determined, and there will probably be
any amount obligation before a deter
mihation is reached.

There is prejudice with some pe0-
pie against becoming corpuient. 1t is
not feeling confined to any locality or
sex. Some of those who make a spe
cialty of anti-fat medication could give
much surprising information as to the
variousness of their patients. A New
York editor has suspicion that this
sensitiveness can be made a means of
CALLING individuals for whom spite is
cherished. A young lady on one of the
fashionable avenues III st. Paul walks
several miles every day, eats no sweets,
and takes severe course in athletic
training in order to keep her avoirdu-
pois below 155, which she regards as the
maximum of maidenIy propriety. The
young man who played the joke on
her the other day and made the scales
show 1G3 drove her nearly to suicide.
She would not hand out a straw to save
him from drowning. One of the most
obese attorneys of the city has
been using a great deal of anti
fat medicine of late. He is even OBJ
served at his suburban home, at times,
vigorously saving wood or practicing
with dumb bells. He rarely rides to or
from his business. But there is no re-
proach in being fat. 1t is true that the
excessively corpulent are perhaps more
liable to drop off suddenly, but they are
as a rule so good-natured and jolly that
they live longer and get more fun out
of life than the average of the lean
kind. There are cases where there are

Out on such hypocrisy!
1t is the old dodge of stealing the
livery of heaven to serve the devil in.
THE LAST DAY.

What has been one of the most pc
culiir municipal campaigns ever known
in this city draws to close to-day. The
unique features of it have been the
most sensational, yet there has been
enough outside of the peculiarities to
attract the thoughtful attention of the
voters. The candidates have been be-
fore the people long enough to be prop
erly measured, and the one issue, of
good or bad government, has been so
thoroughly discussed every voter Will
know just exactly for whom and TOR
what he is voting when he casts his bal
lot tomorrow.
The GLOBE has never had a doubt as
to the result of the contest, aud as the
election draws near, we are more ana
more confirmed in our first opinion, that
Mayor SMITHS majority will be counted
by the thousands. In view of all the
developments of the campaign, it would
be reflection upon the intelligence
and conservatism of the people OF this
city to predict otherwise.
But the fact of certain victory
should not delude the supporters OF
reputable municipal government into
the mistake of staying away from the
polls tomorrow. 1t is as much the duty
of every friend of honest and capable
government to vote tomorrow as 1t
would be if the result hinged upon one
vote. Mayor SMITHS majority cannot
be made too large, for the moral effect
of an overwhelming victory would be OF
permanent duration and an everlasting
benefit. 1t would teach the folly OF the
cause pursued by the KIEFER faction OF
attempting to coerce party organza-
ton into support of unfit candidates.
1t would Furthermore deter the rabble
element of party from attempting to
dictate the party's policy, whether it be
the majority or the minority party.
We take it for granted that every
voter has pretty we'll made up his mind
as to how he will vote tomorrow.
Therefore we do not propose to further
consume time in argument to show tn e
necessity of voting for Mayor SMITH
and for the Democratic ticket.
But we feel it to be our duty to urge
upon ali good citizens the Importance
of being at the polls tomorrow, and OF
casting their ballots in accordance with
what they know the best interests of
the city require.
Every consideration of public and
private duty makes it imperative that
the $4,000 registered voters shall turn
out to man and give formal expression
| to their choice for city officers.
Vote, not often, but early.
And be sure that you vote the Demo
cratic ticket,
And vote it straight.

DOMESTIC EXPERIMENT.

There has been some attention given
at times to projects for simplifying and
combining the la5ors in the domestic
sphere. There have been plausible the
cries and easy devices, but it is not
known that any considerable results
from them have indicated the proximity
of the domestic millennium. In one of
the Second-class cities of Illinois system
of cooperative cookery has advanced
far enough toencourage its participants
to believe that they have struck good
method, whether the ideal one or not.
There are fifty-two families in the COM
bination. All their food is cooked in a
cooperative kitchen. 1t is not done on
the public caravansary order. but has all
the characteristics of the most artistic
home production. There are fifty-two
families, and the lady of each serves
one week in the year as the
manager of the industry. She at
tends to the selection and purchase
of all the supplies, and all the details of
the business. A paid housekeeper at
tends to all the cooking and sewing.
For fiftv-one weeks in the year the
housewife is relieved from all concern
about the culinary features of life. 1t
is understood that each family has its
own dwelling. but necessarily within a
convenient distance of each other and
the common kitchen. The supplies are
bought at wholesale prices, and the
cost is figured at $3.50 per week for each
person, the fare comprising generous
tables, with all the Iuxuries of the sea-
sons. Perhaps there are favoring
features not specified. The point that
provokes most skepticism as to the re-
suit is the distruSt of the har monious
possibilities OF fifty-two women. Per-
haps there is male supervision that
eliminates promptly all cranks and
kiclers. 1t is presumably start in the
direction of the coming domestic

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIOhS
Of Ladies Getting Their Ward
robe Made - MOdiStes
Rushed to Death.
Styles For Spring and Fall.

The annual complaint of the fair sex
is now heard on all sides, ooh, dearl
l have to spend half my time at the
dressmaker'sr' Il can't get anything
done until june" etc., etc. The dear
ladies seem to wait and then all go to-
gether to get their dresses made. Only
few start early to get their Work done
and save the annoyance and trial of
temper. This is still more true of the
ladies in attending to their repairs OF
furS. They never seem to think of
them until the first cold snap, and then
have to wait and be without their gar
ments just when they want them most.
The time to have all those things done
is in the spring, when you are
through with wearing them. Fur
rlers are then anxious to get
your work, and can DO it much
better and cheaper, don't have to rush
it through, and your garments are all in
repair and ready to wear at the first
cold snap. You have no care i'll pack
ing them away and save lots of trouble.
You may not know it, but the spring
to order NEW furS. You gain in quality
and workmanship and save i'll price.
Perhaps you are not aware how nice
thing it is to have one of the nice Fur
CapeS now so much in vogue; they fill
place in your wardrobe that no other
wrap does: are easy to put on and
off, and just the thing for summer
evenings. If you once add one to your
wardrobe you will wonder that you got
along so long without it.
