UNITED STATES Senator John II.
Reagan Of Texas has resigned his seat
in the upper branch Of Congress, end
has accepted the Craftsmanship ofthe
State board Of railroad commissioners.
Governor Hogg has appointed Mr..
Horace Chiffon to the vacancy in
the Senate. Senator Reagan's reason
for resigning is probably because he
knew that there was considerable OPP
position to his reelection, and he did
not care to go into such hard fight
for the position again.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. IS Gov.
Campbell opened the Democratic
campaign today at Sidney, Ohio, TO
a fair sized assemblage. Hesaid that
one of the most encouraging features
Of the campaign was the apprehen-
sion exhibited by Republicans in ~
gard 10 the tariff. The Republicans,
by the nomination Of Mckinley, had
made the tariff issue and now they
were lodging it. Referring to Sena
tor Sherman's predictions Of the y
suit of the free coinage, the Govsrno
said he was a false prophet, and cites
instances in which what the Senate
predicted had not come about. In
terviews with free silver men werl
Tread 10 show that they claim Mr.
Mckinley as being one Of them. Tn
truth was as be said, that both par
ties were divided on the thrift. Tn
Democrats Of Ohio do not agree upol
free coinage but they do agree tina
nothing could be quite as absurd am
unnatural as the circulation OF ware
house receipts, or pawntickets, base
upon uncoined metal. The Demo
cratic platform denounces delnoniti

The ridiculous statement is
sometimes made even in North
Carolina. that the people of that
commonwealth are not advanc-
ing in wealth and other ele-
iuents of property. This is
sheer nonsense. The increase
in Winston-Salem shown on
tax list over 1890 is 81, lilo, 1856.
Forsyth county, outside of this
enterprising twin-city, showed
an increase Of 1904, 555, and
those are not isolated instances
of the onward, upward march
OF the good Old North State. -

A Bull Fight with Fun in 1t.

In ordinary accounts of bull fights you
heal Of the sickening sight of disemboY,
eled horses and bleeding men and butcE
cred bulls. This went on with ever
changing fun, shouts and laughter, but
no one was either hurt or got the Co
cardes. Whoever thinks it is merely n
joke to go down into one of these enor-
nous arenas and snatch the tiny rosette
from between the horns of a beast who
has been trained all his life to keep him
from getting it, will find that he has a
large piece of work cut out for him. For
fun a Provencal bull fight beats a panto-
mime.
For danger and experiences it is far
ahead of anything l ever saw. AS it goes
on every Sunday in the summer time all
owe Provence, Frenchmen regard it as
too common an affair to be worth de-
scription- Foreigners, never going there
at the proper season-the summer and
autumn-never or scarcely ever see it.
And even down in La Camargue, on the
banks of the Rhone, in little towns, all of
which save Aigues-Mortes are unknown
the courses, like baseball matches, are
held every fete day. They are the sport
of the people, and have much more char
acter in the small towns.-Joseph Pen

How Expensive Tea IL Selected.

Mr.. f. X. Andrews writes to the Lon
don Times: at may be interesting to
some of your readers to know how the
tea sold at almost fabulous prices is Sc
lected. Every chest of very fine Ceylon
tea contains a great quantity of ''howery
Pekoe," i, e., small golden tipped, unde-
veloped leaves. A tea of this descrip-
ton is usually sold at about four shil-
lings n pound. A handful of such tea is
spread on a piece of satin about "a
inches bye inches, thesatin is then lightly
folded and the tea lightly shaken to aud
fro half a dozen times, which process
causes the fluffy tips to become %entangled
in the silk; the heavier black leaves are
then shaken out. The howery Pekoe
thus obtained still has mixed with it
some of the coarser leaves, SO the process
is repeated again and again until the
product is quite golden and flossy. About
half a pound may thus be obtained out
of every chest of choice Ceylon tea.

flowers and with bands and trimming
of striped velvet, green and brown. The
cap is of the same, and the blouse is Of
cream white China silk.
Coaching dressss and those TO wear to
the races are noted for their exquisite
beauty, being smothered in pillows of
lace and hutteriug with narrow ribbons.
Bathing costumes are made of striped
Jersey flannel, and some of the wearers
look like wingless hornets, in black and
yellow suits. Some have short skirts
with Spanish ball fringe5 around the
bottom, and being made of wool they
keep round in the water.
Some of the bathing dresses are made
en- maillot, or tights, and with them are
worn canvas slippers, laced up the
ankles with bright colored wooden rib
bons. These are for the grande monde,
the ordinary people preferring the regu-
lation blue flannel.
For promenade in the evenings soft
China and India silks are preferred to
anything, and are overwhelmed with
lace and ''bit ribbon bows" as one
dressmaker calls them.
Black lace and grenadine are, how
ever, really more chic than any other
summer gown, and these are made with
under jupes of bright colored silks and
ribbon to mach.
The bluet is the rage for flowers, for
color and for millinery purposes, and
will probably run until late in the fall,

f~avorite flower Of the old emperor of

den and universal popularity. New
silks with white or black ground, with
this beautiful lark blue flower scattered
lavishly over the surface, are seen, and
several grenadines have it embroidered
in color all over. The effect is most
pleasing.
A dainty walking dress is also illus
trated. The groundwork is pearl gray
china silk, with bluets as pattern. The
skirt is uutrimmed and the waist is
trimmed with narrow bands of velvet of
the precise shade of the bluets. | believe

the n and the young g1rI sees no
reason why she cannot go alone
BY no means Should she be allowed to
go without a suitable chaperon. Unless
the mother has some one to whose care
she can trust the daughter she must &C
company her, and do it cheerfully, I'M
less there is some good reason why it is
better for both to remain Mt home. A
young girl alone on the street after dark
is a, helpless prey to whatever evil is
abroad. Even if nothing occurs to harm
her the very fact hat she was alone, un-
attended by parents or brother or some
trusted friend of the family, tells against
her and tends to give her a boldness not
becoming in a maiden. Strength and
courage are admirable qualities in n
young girl, but boldness is detestable.
If a mother begins early and proceeds
with care, the task of winning and hold
ing her daughters confidence will be
comparatively easy. If it is necessary
TO reprove, do it gently and explain as
far as possible why the action you con
denim is unwise or wrong. Youth is al
ways susceptible to loving rebuke, while
it rebels against harshness. There are
families where the happiest m to
the daughters is when they gather
around the mothers chair at night and
relate with sweet girlish frankness all
the events of the day, knowing that she
will laugh with them. syInpathize with
them, or, IL she does not approve, tell
them their errors with such gentlcness
that they love her all the better for the
reproof.
IL n mother does not keen this sweet
hold upon the love and confidence Of her
girls she has only herself to blame; for
youth is by nature loving and coniiding,
and rarely fails to respond to proper
treatment. HELEN S. CoNAST

You may talk about the necessity of
newspaper enterprise, but what good
comes of trying to originate something
grateful and pleasing to the public when
such a protest as the following meets the
effort of a well known journal to print a

cause they were so handy to do up bun

THE GATE OF SLEEP.

Lying between the dusk and dawn OF night
Upon the borders Of the sea OF sleep,
Lo, oft there cometh In the fading light
The break OF surges in the eternal deep.
The soul OF me swims out across the space
That yawns between the pulse OF life and
death;
The senses fall; the spirit seeks Its place
With those that dwell beyond the gates OF
breath
A touch, a start; the passing power Is broken.
The soul is moyeless midway in its flight;
The body claims it, and there is no token
Brought out from that haven Of the night
II | could hold the light that on me grows
When DER the brink Of sleep my spirit
speeds,
Then could | voice the mystery that flows
"Twixt life and death, tween truth and hui
man creeds.
But lol upon the sacred door OF sleep
There is a craven law OF import high:
-He who would sound the secrets OF this deep
Must lay hin down In solitude TO die"
w. J. Henderson In New York Times
