ABINGDON, Va, May 6.-The preliminary
examination which was TO have been heard
here to-day was wa we'd, and a special grand Jury
was summoned 70 hear the charge tomorrow.
DIR. Baker bears his confinement well, and Is
very bright and talks cheerfully 20 visitors. All
the facts in the Case cannot be known until they
are brought out at the trial.
The enormous sensation caused by the affair
has in no way Gblted, and further developments
are looked forward to with the greatest interest
The Circuit and United States courts are In
session here, and the town is crowded with
strangers.
HIS DOUBLE LIFE,
The Bristol Ners says: II appears that DIR.
Baker has been leading double life for n long
while. He has always been great friend TO the
preacher and did a great deal toward advancing
the cause Of Christ. A young ministerial student
Of Emory ami Henry College visited the neighbOr-
hood occasionally and always found n warm
friend In the Doctor, who took great pains to
make him enjoy the visit.
If everything reported Is true and there seems
90 be little doubt about it, the man has led
crooked life and is a mean old hypOcrite. lie Is
well connected, related as ne is 20 some splendid
people OF the county. He is man Of fine ap-
pearancc, is about forty-eight years old, and has
several grown children.
SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
II is reported that Mr.. Wyndham Gilmer has
instituted suit for divorce. He IL an excellent
gentleman and bears an cnvious reputation
among his neighbors, who say that there are few
better men in the community than he. Ho IL in
good circumstances, being worth from 100000

TIE cRsoLes OF TO-DAY
The Rare Beauty OF Their Women stiii
Preseryed--How They Take Life.

One of the most marked traits OF the
creole temperament Is buoyancy. They
know how To enjoy. They carry light
~ that yoke OF labor that seems to
press so heavily upon English-spcak-
ing peoples. The wisdom OF inhaling
the perfume OF the moment Is known
10 them. They do not 60 forth on a
gala day TO push and shove and growl;
they push little annoyances aside with
n laugh and jest; In a crowd they are
gay and good-naturcd. Both men aud
maidens are passionately fond OF dane
ing. and even tho warmest weather
does not make their enthusiasm flag.
The love Of music Is decp-rooted in
their natures; il Is 20 be questioned
whether they could live without IT,
Poor indeed must be that creole who
foregocs the Sunday opera matinee.
aud no pinching or stinting is deemed
too severe IL that pleasure Is in view.
In personal appearance the creoles
are good-looking race. The men are
usually good looking. sometimes strik-
ingly handsome. in the brunctte type.
and. though short OF stature. they are
broad shouldered and muscular. At
her best. the creole girl is irresistibly
pretty. the dark wonder OF her great.
long-lashed. liquid eyes further en-
HANGED by storm-cloud of hair about
low. smooth brow. brilliant white
teeth. delicately-molded features aud
clear olive complexion. Her figure is
lissome and rounded; supple and slen-
der. without angularity or attenuation
and her hands and feet are small and
dainty. Now aud then strain of
Andalusian blood produces milk
white blonde with violet eyes and
shimmering golden hair. doubly pi-
quaint among her darker sisters.
Though the rightly OF the old sys-
tenn of chaperona9e has somewhat re-
Taxed. tho creole girl 10 not allowed as
much freedom a. her American friends,
aud in many respects she Is more UNI
sophisticated. For instance, she does
not understand Iove-making for fun. "
for the men OF her race do not think II
honorable TO indulge ia such question:
able testing. II one Of them paws GER
tain marked attention TO young lady.
IL Is understood that he wishes TO make
her his wife. Such matters are looked
upon seriously, and the rupture OF an
engagement Is almost compromising
10 girl.
The creole damsel is not tailor-made
by any means. When money IS not
| plentiful she Is her own modistc with
very charming results. for her gar
mcnts are coquettishly feminine aud
becoming her as its gay plumage be-
comes n tropical bird. Fcmininel.
that Is the keynote to her character.
She still believes that IL is woman's
duty 10 be pretty aud pleasing above
all things, aud her family do their best
TO shelter her from coarscning In
iiuences. Perhaps from this springs
the creole prejudice against public
schools. IL will DO remarked that,
even when they are poor. they send
their children to private seminaries.
