are determined to protect US from this en-

a Clty.s Stocking Bill.

Leaving mems socks or ''hnlf-hosen
out of the calculation, it is estimated
that the women, girls and children Of
New York city wear out IN average Of
three pairs OF stockings each in thu
course of year, or total of some
100000 pairs. AS to the cost, the
range is almost incredibly wide-frosn
a cents pair for the cheapest cotton
article up to $40 pair for tho triumpks
of the hosicr's art in puro silk, figured,
open work, hand embroidered miracles
which are worn by women in the beau
monde-and also in the demi monde
upon whom money is freely lavished.
1t is said that the price of n single pair
Of stockings made to match the costume.
has been known to reach 500. Alto
gether, it is computed that New York
spends annually 100000 for stockings
for its women and children, two-thirds
of that outlay being for the high-priced
qualities worn by comparatively linn,
tied class

early fifties, says the New York Sun, he
was the best known pilot on the Sound.
He stood in his day rs Capt. Hank Haff
and the Ellsworths do in theirs. At
that time new packet lines were being
constantly established between New
York, Boston and intermediate Sound
points, and new vessels built. Great
rivalry existed on the water then as
now, and each new vessel had to show
her heels to the whole pack if she hoped
to amount to anything. Capt. Shcr-
mans knowledge of the sound gave
him great prestige, and he was in con-
slant demand, either to steer n new
craft to victory OF to hold reputation
previously made by an old one.
Then he fell in love with a woman I'M
worthy of him. She lived in the little
town of East Greenwich. Immediately
upon arriving from each trip Capt.
Sherman used to hurry over, loaded
down with presents, to sec her. On
one visit he learned that his sweetheart
had made dupe of him. She accepted
his attentions to get his presents and
then ran away with another man. This
shattered Capt. Shcrman's faith in
human nature. lie got drunk and re-
manned drunk longer than any one can
remember. He bought an old boat,
which he fitted up with a cabin. This
craft he made his home, floating about
Harragansett bay for years. He lived
on the fish, the clans, and tho qua
haugs which he caught. He realized
enough by farming the sea to buy all
the whisky he wanted
Everything ran smoothly with the
captain and no one ihtcrfered with the

unique method of dealing with hith-
crto uneSplorcd phases of literature,
he stands alone and unapproachablc.
Those brilliant serials: ''Thc Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table" "Thc Profess
sor at the breakfast Table" and "Thc
Poet ut the Breakfast Table, continued
from time to time for fifteen years in
the Atlantic Monthly. have never been
equalcd in English literature for sus-
tanned and cvcr-incrcasing power to in
tercst, entertain and instruct. The UNI
usually active worl-day career of this
genial autocrat lfas been succeeded by
Il seemly and pleasant evening of lcis-
urc. The songs that he hath sung have
an abiding-placc in the hearts of his
fellow-citizcns. Through the gathering
shades that must necessarily surround
the closing years of his life the bright
CLEAN of q nations gratitude will often
pierce, and the kindly author, whose
pen was never dipped in gall, will re-
ccivc on his cighty-sccond birthday
many assurances that each succeeding
anniversary will but tend to make the
inevitable parting more rcgrctablc.

and fined $50. The captain didn't have
90 cents, SO he was sent to Jail. He
didn't mind the confinement, but he
kicked because there was no roll to the
craft, as he called it, and no liquor in
the hold. Two days there more than
satisfied him. 1t was the beginning Of
the war, and the captain struck upon o
novel scheme to effect escape. Sending
for the jailer, the captain said: "Loolz
here, | don't want to stay in here
twenty years. There's no whisky and
no tobacco. If you will enlist me I'll
give you all over 5000" Tho jailer
accepted his offer on speculation and
marched him to Norwich at the muzzle
of loaded rifle, where he enlisted him
for 5000.
When the war was over Capt. Sherman
laid his course for the land of CLANS,
and put his abandoned houscboat is
commission again. He lived aboard the
Red Lion, rs he called the boat, as long
as it would float. Then lie bcached it
on the little island of Chcpiwanoxet
and built his present abode. 1t is a
little wooden shanty, with bootleg
hinges on the door. In the winter the
wind is prevented from whistling
through the cracks by covering it COM
plctcly with sea weeds.
When not fishing the captain spends
the time in making sail cloth mittens
for winter work. He wears shirt and
overalls. They are the same that he
donncd when he began his Cr1lsoe-like
career. lie intends to wear them till
he dies.

between tho present cut and that which
has gone by would be distinctly notice
able. They must go out with the gas.
One authority tells me that indica-
tions of tho long stay Of this style Of
coat may be found in tho increasing
vogue of the bell-crowned hat, and in
the tendency to cut pantaloons mar
rover than heretofore. He pointed out
tho fact that these three fashions have
always been found in company. And
here they arc again. There is no doubt
about the bcll-crowned hat and mono
that the fashionable pantaloons have
less cloth in them. They are cut from
half an inch to an inch narrower than
last year.

ROANOKE TIMES BuREAU,
Horn LUcERNE, SALEM, VA

The Ciceronian Society, of Roanoke
) College, has been enjoying great sue
cess this year, and held its third meet
ing of this session last Saturday at 1880
p. m. in the society hall. The officers

dent; nj. Killian, vice president; II. G.
Farmer, secretary; t. Dyer, assistant

The subject for debate last Saturday
was: "Resolved, That strikes are
beneficial to the laborine organiza-
tions," which, after a very spirited dis
cussion, was decided in favor of the
affirmative. Among those who made
TIE most effective speeches were:
: Messrs. T. G. Kennard, IL. nj. Smith
and b. e. Copenhaver for the Affirmative,
and Messrs. j. p. Woods, j. l.. Frantz
and j. l.. Rendleman for the negative.
Gilbert Walden, the well-known elocu-
zionist, who favored the society with
several enjoyable readings.
Saturday evening the Demosthenian
Literary Society held its regular meet
ing in its hall at Roanoke College. The
society this year is unusually large,
opening with membership of fifty. The
debate, as usual, proved very interest
ing, and after being ably argued by
both sides, the question "Resolved,
that parents do their children an in
justice by leaving them fortune" was
decided in favor OF the negative, which
was represented by Mr.. j. M. Morgan,
of Georgia. Mr.. w. II. Teeter, of Vir.
ginia, and Mr.. g. Brown, of North Car
DINA, whilst the champions of the
affirmative were Mr.. w. l.. Wood. of

The italian az Sea.

An italian is q queer fish, says nm old
seaman. He won't take q berth on q
ship that docs not feed his bill Of fare.
When they go into a ticket Office their
interpreter asks for tho bill of fare,
which is published by some of the lines
along with their advertisements. He
scans it closely, and the first one which
sets out a regular italian meal, garlic,
macaroni, Italian wines and tho like,
is the ono he closes on as though it rep
resented so many dollars. You can't
switch them to any other line after they
have sized up the feed. Money is good
for them, but macaroni and garlic are
more desirable and the line that feeds
them those cdibles is the one that gets
their money.

THE MAN OF FASHION.
Prince Albert Cents of n Peculiar Cut Arc
All tho I;ngo.

Prince Albert Cents of Peculiar Cut Are
All tho Rage.
The Prince Albert coat, hitherto the
least used, perhaps, of any garment in
the ordinary mans wardrobe is being
brought forward by fashion this season.
To. my eye, writes \ New York corre-
spondcnt, it is uglicr than ever. Be-
cause it is now being worn consider
ably for late afternoon promcnudcs,
will discuss its new form here. 1t is
shorter wasted and longer in the skirts
this fall. The fashionable garment
does not commit the cxccsscs of that
cont which came ovcrherc little while
ago from England, and failed to achieve
conquest, but that same coat or some
body's idea that made it has cxertcd an
influence which is now taking visible
shape. Not only in the Prince Albert,
but in all coats, the tendency to longer
skirts and shorter waists can be seen.
Society has had chance to admire
these long-tailcd, short-waisted, double
breasted coats, with the accompanying
bcll-crowned hats at some of the recent
swell wcddings-the Thompson
and the Elliot-IIargous for instance.
They are undoubtedly the correct thing
for day weddings, and the difference

ALAS FOR JERRY,

How are the mighty fallen. Only a
few short months age and the country
was wrlnging with the stalwart hon
esty of Congressman Jerry Simpson.
Here was nc vapid ballot-monger, mas
q%uerading as n supporter Of the peoples
rights and a redresser of the peoples
wrongs, in order to gain for himself
some object of personal ambition. No.
where else in the ranks of politicians
could you find such a man. He had no
ak to grind. In his eyes poverty was no
crime. To him the hardships of life
were not a thing unknown. He had
been through them all and thought it
no shame to confess that he was not
yet out Of the woods of embarrassment.
Political asplrants outside OF the great
and only party Of the people were all a
humbug. They talked sympathy with
their mouths and they stuck their
tongue in the other cheek. They pro-
fessed the keenest interest in the
"whereas" farmer and paraded their in
consistency by clothing themselves in
purple and fine linen every day. Jerry
did not do that, would not do that, could
not do that. The honest folks of Kan
sas, in their guileless simplicity, be-
lieyed that at last they had found a man
after their W heart, and the sockless
one passed in triumph into the ranks of
congressional fame.
Some people there were, and thinking
