especial novelties and quite the feature Of

Over this was arranged the jacket-like bod

cream and black and fawn. 1t was cut on

had a full flounce about the shoulders, and

The hat-to pass to a moro c%ongenial sub

If you find yourself in New York in these
brisk bright days Of fashion-making, you
will see in the windows:
That bolts are really startling.
That velvet ribbons of all colors are sew
upon all sorts Of gowns.
That astrakhan jackets are coming in
with liveliness and spring.
That olive-green and marine-blue cloth
jackets are trimmed with fur.
That trains are long and thin, made in one
with the skirt, n cut on the cross of the
material.
That sleeves do not stand so high above
the shoulders as they did in the summer.
That capped basques are approved wear.
That the long cloak, the redingote and
pelisse have their fur trimmings supple
mented with passeinenterie and fringe.
That hats are smaller than their won't has

That the toaue holds it's own.
That the picture" hat has less brim, bat
has even increased its load of plumes.
That green shades into pink continually.

White Primaries.

z NJ
We arc glad To notc the favofa-
bile tendency Of our people to-
wards submitting the selection of
candidates for Office as we'll as
delegates to the several conycn-
tons, to the determination Of
white primary elections through
out the different wards of the pa
rish. Such course would be di-
rectly in line with the mode Of ac-
tion NC havccounscllcd and strcn-
uously advocated, md is alone
consistent with strictly Demo-
cratic precedent and usage.
But We regret also to hear Of a
disposition upon the part of some
to designate in caucus the suppos-
ed strongest Candidates, ant m
s,st upon the withdrawal of the
others from the contest before the
primaries. This is ohyiousp
wrong and inconsistent, and US
urps-for the private caucus the
| very work that the primary cleo
tsons arc intended to accomplish
viz, to exhibit the strength of the
several candidates, thus dctermin-
ing who shall be tie nominees OF
the party ut the general election.
We arc free to say that we be
lieve the arbitrament of the white
primaries will be final to every
Democrat, and VIC know that by
the result the SENTINEL intends
to abide.
1t is TO be hoped that the Exc
cut,vc Committee will take our
view of this matter and sec to it
that every candidate be vouchsaf-
ed tho privilege of testing his
strength before tho whitcmen Of
his parish.
We earnestly hope that the
Revenue Amendment question
itself may yet be settled in white
Democratic primaries throughout
the State, thus eliminating all dam
ger Of disorganizatlon in Demo-
cratic ranks.

nierously signed.
Should 1t prove lmpractlcable
for the company to run train
direct from Now Orleans to as far

that the Baton Rouge Accommo-

,isent to the Company but on tho
contrary to their interest, and TO
the very great accommodation of

from our point of view.

Literary Notes.

Some idea of what the illustra-
ton of 4 magazine means, may be
obtained from the announcement
that the publishers of the Co.'S
mopolitan paid Madeleine Lee
marie for illustrations of "Thrce
Women Of the Coincide Franz
caisc" ten times the amount paid
for the article. Madame Lemairc
is one of the most famous of
French illustrators, and her work
in the Cosmopolitan this month
is accompanied BY that of Kate
II. Grcatorex, a. +. Jacnssy. +.
G. Atwood, Dan. G.. Beard, w.
H. Goater, +. &. S. Bryce, G. r.
Grant and others. The illustra-
ton of the Cosmopolitan has al
ways been one of its special fea-
lures, but this month 1t exceeds
IN tins respect all previous num-
bers.
Amelie Rvcs' striking story
According to St. John Is
brought to a dramatic close IN
this number. No other piece of
current fiction by an American
author has attracted so wide at
tention as TINS tale of Paris life,
and the concluding pages fully
sustain the interest awakened by
the earlier chapters.
A new feature of the Cosmopo-
Titan, and Que which Is original
with that magazine, is the publ
cation each month, in the forms
of foot notes, OF number Of lit
tie portraits with brief biogra-
pixies, of the writers of the varl-
Gus articles. However widely
read one may be, there is apt to
be something of information lack
ing regarding the vast number OF
writer's who appear in the perl
odicals of the present day, SO
that these brief biographies and
small portraits arc proving very
satisfactory to the average read
err.
An unusual magazine feature,
and one which will be read with
avidity by women who arc curl
Gus regarding Turkish life, is an
article on "Mod,rn Women of
Turkey" n beautiful description
of Oriental life BY Osmcn Boy, a
distinguished Turkish gentleman
now visiting the United States.
The most timely article of the
number is Il description of the
| New Desert Lakc-the phcnomc-
non of the barren region Of the
southwest. Besides the story by
Amelie Rives, Hjallner Hjorth
Boyesen contributes a short story
of Norwegian life in winch be-
autiful mare figures as the chief
character-a charming story for
all lovers of the horse.
The chief feature of the num-
Der however is AL article on Gin
cinnati by the man who is most
capable of preparing something
Interesting on that city-Murat
Observation-Disclosures by SIX, t:hcs
by Jacassy who visited Cincinnati
for that purpose.

sent graphic pictures Of Il great

the Government to select the best positions
