A Few Simple Rules That are Worth Telling
Over.

Over.
From the New York Sun.
1T is not a very difficult task to take care of
ones clothes" said q man who, though he has
but moderate means, always appears well
dressed, ''and it pays to do it, 1t is better to
have number of suits and to wear them off
and on than to wear one suit continuously I'M
til you are ready to lay it aside for another
If you have say four suits, and change every
day or two, they will retain their shape and
freshness through a given period better than
four suits each worn steadily during a quarter
Of that period. When clothes are worn con-
stantly the creases in the coat sleeves and the
punches at the knees of the trousers become
pronounced and confirmed. and they cannot be
pressed out SO that they will stay out. If
clothes are hung up properly after wearing
their own weight and the elasticity of the cloth
help to preserve their shape.
"A man should never hang up his coat by
the loop made for that purpose if he can avoid
1t: If hung in that way it will sooner or later
sag out OF shape. 1t 10 almost impossible to
fold coat SO smoothly and loosely that it will
not crease; it is certain to do so if il should be
left for few days, especially in damp weather.
There is just one proper thing to do with a
coat when it is not In use and that is to hang it
up carefully on q coat hanger.
My house is small and have only one room
to myself and that room has no closet keep
most Of my clothes in wardrobe. put a walk
ing stick in the middle row of hooks screwed
into the under side of the shelf, and hang the
hooks of the coat hangers on the walking stick
When hang up coat am of course careful
that it and the coats on each side of it are left
smooth. The coats hang pretty close together,
but they are in an even row and some part OF
each is visible. l don't have to pun them
about to find the coat want and my coats are
not so numerous but that can identify each
one at glance.
''Of course the best thing to do with trous-
ers is to hang them on a hanger, but the next
best thing is to fold them and lay them at full
length. They must be folded true and smooth,
so that the creases will come exactly right. /
haven't room for the proper care Of coats and
trousers, too, so pile my trousers on the bot
tom of the wardrobe. The edges of each pair
are in view and selection is easy. If take any
pair below the top have to lift of those above
and then put them back. This is q slight in
convenience, but 1t is far better to take that
trouble than to hang your trousers up by the
straps which should never be done"

Not Entirely Cured.

From the Philadelphia Record
An entirely new parrot story is going the
rounds and is being told at the expense of an
uptown minister. The reverend gentleman
having intimated some time ago to friend
that he would like to have a nice parrot, the
friend procured one for him. Everything went
along smoothly for a while until the bird be-
came accustomed to his new home. Then the
parrots tongue became loosened and he
began to swear most abominably much
to the horror of the Clergyman. The latter
Immediately, sought his friend and told him of
the birds grievous fault. The friend suggested
as a remedy that the clergyman swing the birds
cage very rapidly through the air several
times. That would settle him." he said. The
next time the bird offended the minister did
as directed. Then setting the cage down again
awaited the result. The parrot looked sur
prised for minute, then said: "Whew-w-
W. -! What a--br eezer' The
bird was sold for nickel.

A BOOMING TOWN
WYTHEVILLE

Advances In the race OF progress
Called the Saratoga of tho South. In
dustries nearing completion and con-
templated. Its churches and schools.
The scenery surrounding magnificent.
Wytheville's boom is attracting the
attention of the country.
Wythe county is noted Tor it's blue
grass and fine herds and rich agricult-
ural area. 1t embodies the mountain
scenery and climate and fine mineral
waters of Asheville, N. c., with iron
and coal vastly superior to birmingham,
in the midst of an agricultural soil uni
versally superior to either. Located
upon the Norfolk and Western railroad,
half way between Roanoke and Bristol,
the former of which is situated upon
the eastern border and the latter the
western border of the great upland
mineral basin known as Southwest Vir-
ginia. The proposed Virginia and Ken
lucky railroad, on which work will be-
gin soon, crosses the Norfolk and West
ern at this point. The Parkersburg,
Little Kanawha and Virginia railway
has also decided to build the proposed
connecting link between the Black Dia-
mond system and the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley via Wythevillc, making
Wytheville competing railway centre
These lines will bring the Gossan ores
of Carroll, the mountain ores of Bland
and the limonite ores of Cripple Creek
and New River and the coal fields of
Wythe, Bland and tho Flat Top to-
gether at Wytheville, making it the
great iron and trade centre of Southwest
Virginia.
New factories and industries are be-
ing located every week, among which
arc two hotels costing 5000 each
Steel Range and Stove Factory $125, 600,
while applications for sites are con-
stantly coming in. The Wytheville
Manufacturing Company, organized with
dozen hands a few months ago, engag-
ing in the building business, has in
creased its force to rs hands, with
twelve months work ahead engaged,
and will now increase their force to $50
hands. Streets are being graded every
where, rail sidings for factories, while
every movement goes to indicate that
the place will be the growing industrial
town of 1901. The Wytheville Develop
ment Company, the pioneer mover in
the good work, owing 77S acres of land,
had its first sale of lots from it's choice
property, beginning September Goth,
when all the lots offered were soon
taken up, and to meet growing demand
fered December 18th and 18th, intrin-
sicily considered as valuable perhaps as

The Indiana Gratitude.

You have heard of the ncver-dying
gratitude of the Indian. writes Teresa
II. Dean in the Chicago Herald, of how
they never forget favor. Well, thew
never do forget q favor. If one is
unfortunate enough to give one of them

they love cigarettes-in the morning,

turns every half hour for more. He not
only comes back himself, but he brings
with him all the other members of tho
misjudged tribe that chance to be in tho
ncighborbood. AS bcggars they are
most supreme. The pride that their
admirers trot out as symbolic of their
nobility never interfcres with their
pleading for pennies, niclsels, dimes, to-
bacco or any thing else. And pride
never causes them to hesitate in help
ing themselves if their cntrcaties are
ignored

Lugubrlous PlaybjIls.

Playbills nowadays are occasionally
turned to strange uses. The margins
of the programme of one OF the most
popular suburban pantomime houses
near London were found to be illus
tratcd with woodcut picture of a
funeral procession approaching the
gates OF a cemetery. Beneath this in
conspicuous type was an advertisement
announcing that "Nessrs. - and -
furnish funerals to suit all classes in
town and country on economic princi-
pies" This jarring note upon the festive
spirit OF the occasion concluded with
the lugubrious words: Lead, oak, or
elm collins, plumes, velvet pals and
every descriptions of fitting of superior
classes"

SELFISH BRITONS.
They Arc tho Only People Who Do Not
Assist Their Race.

They Arc tho Only People Who Do Not
Assist Their Race.
1t is n peculiar fact, well known and
frequently commented upon by emigra-
ton officials, that the English immi-
grants who land in New York are the
only ones who, if they are in want or
trouble, are not looked after by their
countrymen, af1irms the New York
Star. The Castle Garden Mission and
the Irish immigration Society have n
watchful eye and a helping hand for
every Irish man, woman or child who
steps ashore at the barge Office The
German Immigrant Society is active in
behalf of the newcomers from the
Fatherland, and, like the French So
cicty and the Italian home organiza-
ton, have Offices on State street, from
which they carefully watch their in
coming countrymen. The Hebrew
Charity Association never let's one of
the faith leave the pier without know
ing his condition and destination,
whether he comes from far-off Poland
or the nearer continental countries.
But the English immigrant must go to
strangers for help or welcome. The
wealthy English organization, the So
ciety of st. George, pays no attention
to immigrants, and, indeed, / believe
makes it point in their bylaws to
have nothing to do with newcomers,
though watchful enough of the inter
ests of English residents of the city.

scALpEo INDIANS.

They Arc Regarded rs sBad Medicine
by Their Tribes.
A young squaw fleeing from the adj
vancing Sioux reached the Enclosure
pursued by half score of painted dew
lis, their hands already -reesing with
Pawnee gore, writes q New Yorl,
Tribune correspondent. Seeing escape
impossible, She fell flat on the ground
and pulled her blanket over her head
to lose sight of the descending blow. It
came from n tomahawk that glanced off
her skull without penetrating it. The
whites were within few rods, firing
as they ran, and one of the Sioux
braves fell, shot dead, beside the pros
trate woman. Another, however,
jerked the blanket from her bleeding
head, and with haste born of fear cut
around and cruelty lifted her scalp, she
conscious all tho time, but never utter
ing sound. The savage fled with his
bloody trophy to rejoin his comrades.
The troops came to the rescue of the sad
ly outnumbered Pawnees, and together
they succeeded in putting the Sioux to
rout- When the panic subsidized the
wounded squaw was borne to the mis-
sion hospital and her injuries dressed.
In spite of the scalping she badc fair to
recover. Strange to relate, however,
her friends showed great reluctance to
her receiving medical treatment, claim
ing that according to all Indian precept
and example scalped person should be
dead, and her recovery would only
bring bad medicine" to her tribe. The
woman acquicsced in this opinion, and
expressed perfect willingness to be sac
rificed to the ancient customs. Tho
next morning the squaw's cot was
empty and the patient nowhere to be
found.
Two days later some troopers hunt
ing stray horse on the river bank,
miles away, were startled to hear
groans coming from neighboring
thicket. Thinking that some wounded
Sioux had been abandoned to die, they
cautiously approached. There. buried
all but her face in the drifting sand,
was the scalped squaw, still alive and
conscious. They dug her out and
brought her back to the mission, thor
oughly cured of her willingness to die.
She told how she had been stolen from
the hospital by her own family and
buried by the river bank. She now
wanted to live. and close watch was
kept to prevent her being again offered
as n victim to savage superstition.
Once afterward, when walking in the
yard. she was spirited away by the
Pawnees and hidden in tepee, that
when night fell she might be buried
more securely. Again she was restored
to the mission, and, upon strong threats
of military vengeance should any thing
occur to her in future. the poor creature
was allowed by her tribe to live out the
remainder of her DAYS.

GENERAL SHERMAN DEAD.

General William Tecumseh Sherman
was the last of the great Union war
generals. There is no one to take his
place. Grant, Hancock, Meade, Thomas,
Sheridan have all gone before. AS a
soldier Sherman had few equals. He
looked upon war as barbarous, but this
feeling never was allowed to stand in
the way of duty. He was victorious
leader, who conquered mercilessly.

To these, then, honor is due wherever
they meet. The business they transact
will be for the relief of the distressed

will be hidden from public observation,
they have the good will of the entire
community, and will be given cordial

THE BOND ORDINANCES.

The ordinance and finance committees
have most important duty to perform.
In their hands rests the protection of
the city's money. If they succeed in
proposing practical plan whereby the
public improvements may be made
without extravaganza, waste or leak
age, the bond ordinances will go through
with rush.
The plan suggested recently by THE
TIMES already finds favor among NOM
bers of the committee, Recognizing the
limited powers of the Council under the
charter it can only create subordinate
boards with advisory powers. The
Council itself must approve motions
for the expenditure of money by two
thirds vote. and cannot delegate this
either to committee or to board or
officer Of its own creation.
1t is also plain that neither the Coun-
Gil itself nor q committee of its own
members can devote the necessary time
to the details, making plans. preparing
papers, executing contracts, and super
vising the public works, to sec that the
contracts are fulfilled. The councilman
are allowed no pay and their time is
valuable.
The situation practically reduces it.
self to the necessary for creating an
advisory board of three or FIVE mem bers,
preferably the latter, who shall act in
place of the Council so far as the char
ter will permit. This board could
legally do nearly everything save ap-
propriating money and ordering the
payment of money.
1t could advise as to the location of
improvements, the adoption of plans
and the drawing up of proposals for bids.
1t could even be the custodian of bids
and advise as to their adoption or reiec-
ton. When the bids were accepted and
the work begun the board could become
personal inspectors and advise the
Council as to tho completion of each
contract, as to the exact execution of
the terms of the contracts and as to the
payment of money.
This board can be so constituted as TO
meet with tho approval of the free
holders. The frceholders not only want
to have the board rightly formed, with
its duties closely outlined, but they
want to know who is going on that
board Satisfy them on these essentials
and the Council will be gratified by
having its bond propositions sustained
by the freeholders.
The joint committee is composed OF
able men who have the interests of the
city at heart. They will have the valu-
able legal counsel and aid of the city
solicitor. The public expects good work
from the committee.
