"a. w. &. Wilson for Speaker.

Belford,s Magazine has q decided
preference for our distinguished
townsman as the Speaker of the COM
ing Congress. 1t says of him:
Mr.. Wilson is one of the best all
round men in the House. he was
elected to Congress in 1892, and his
ability was soon recognized in the
Forty-ninth Congress by an assign
ment after one term of service to the
Committee on Appropriations. In
the next Congress he was placed on
the Ways and Means Committee, and
first obtained generous and general
recognition from the country. He
soon approved himself one of the best
debators in the House. Whether dis
cussing the merits of the Mills bill
itself or the schedules, he showed a
perfect familiarity with the question
under debate, and he did it with SO
much tact and courtesy and with so
much literary finish that his speeches
soon found circulation and readers
everywhere. He showed ON the stump
the possession of the same qualities,
and was in general demand in all the
close and doubtful States. During the
last Congress no man more loathed
the methods and ideas of Reed than
did this nervous little college prefer
sor from West Virginia, and no other
was able more successfully to pierce
the rhineceros hide of the Main up
start. But the darts he used were
wit, satire, irony, and ridicnle, COM
bined with arguments of the most
sober or the most passionate kind.
Mr.. Wilson is not given to much
speaking, but every word tells, every
argument goes home, every weak
point of his opponent is exposed.
The writer concludes, after de-
tailed review of the fitness, ability
and locality of the various gentlemen
mentioned for the Office:
1t is announced that the South gave
the country John G.. Carlisle, the
greatest speaker since the days of
Henry Clay. But Mr.. Carlisle was
Union man from border State. 1t
was for this very reason the House of
Representative should seek out an
other such man. 1t is only to take
him in the person of William L. Will
son, of West Virginia. Having every
claim, on the score of ability, expe-
rience, fitness and party service that
can be preferred on behalf of any as
pirant, it is possible for the Demo-
Gratis of the House to give the coun-
try n speaker equal to any that ever
occupied that Important Office. A
cool, clear-headed scholarly man,
modest to a degree, having the conf
dence of both and North and South,
though not belonging to either, there
is no other, however extended his ex-
perience, or brilliant his service. who
will in any way be superior to Mr..
Wilson. His election will project no
unseemIy contest, put no weapons in
the hands of the enemies of Democ-
racy, and will satisfy every possible
demand that the country, the party,
or devotion to Democratic principles
can make.

Mr.. C. j. Irwin, of Philadelphia,
representing the popular and reliable
Continental Fire Insurance Company,
Cof which Messrs. Washington &
Alexander are the local agents, was
in town last week. He took. care
full survey of our enterprises, and
expressed himself well pleased with
the prospects here. OF the Shenan-
doah Brass and Iron Works he made
especial mention. He has been in a
good many similar establishments,
but pronounces the works here about
the best planned and as having the
most complete equipment he has ever
seen, all of which is highly credttable
to the capacity and efficiency of Su-
perintendent Ait. As Mr.. Irwin is
an experienced, cautious business
man, his opinion is of more than or
binary value.

Beyord's Magazine for June CON
tatns astrong editorial presenting rea-
sons why Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, of
the second West Virginia district
should be made the Speaker of the
next House of Representatives
Surely no man could preside over
that body with more dignity or with
greater credit than Mr.. Wilson. He
is in every way fitted to preside over
the House, and under him as Speaker
the fiftY-second Congress would go
into history with reputation as far
different from Car Reeds House as
light from darkness. In the selec-
ton of Mr.. Wilson the Democrats of
Congress could make no mistake.

Gloves and Shoes for Men.

Golden tan kid gloves are worn by gen.
tleinen in the street, when making calls,
and at church. At morning weddings the
groom, ushers, best man and guests wear
very light tan colored gloves. At after
noon weddings and in the evening also,
the men of the bridal party wear the palest
pearl colored gloves, with very narrow
stitching of black or self color. Mems
gloves are of glace kid, and are fastened by
two buttons.
Patent leather and fine calfskin shoes
worn by men of fashion have the round
French toe instead of those with sharply
pointed toes lately in vogue. Walking
shoes are high about the ankle, and are
laced or buttoned, as the wearer prefers.
Now shoes, laced on the instep, are entirely,
of patent leather, and indeed all very
dressy shoes, whether high or low, are Of
the glossy patent leather throughout.
Black socks of Isle thread or fine BalbHg
gans are still preferred for wearing, either
with high or low shoes. Tan coloted,
mode and gray socks, quite plain or with
narrow lines of color, are also worn.
Pocket handkerchiefs Of fine linen, with
narrow hens hemstitched, are for best use
and those with narrow border of color
are for general wear.-Harper's Bazaar.

If little corn starch is put in salt for the
table it will keep it from Jumping, and the
pretty little shakers will not have SO hard

A mixture of powdered charcoal, one
pound to four pounds of plaster of paris,
sprinkled under porches or in damp corners,
will prove an excellent disinfectant.
The white of an egg, with a little water
and sugar, is good for children who are
troubled with an irritable stomach. 1t is
very healing and will prove an excellent
remedy for diarrhHa, as well as simple
preventive for bowel disorders.

Silk busters for travelling have reached

An unrelieved black lace dress, however
elegant, is seldom becoming.
Weeping willow green and rust green are
the newest color combinations.
It is new wrinkle to have ribbon stream

dress feature, whether gathered, draped or
plain.
Latest of imported Paris hats have all
the trimming high up at the buck and none
whatever in front. The effect is somewhat
ridiculous.
With thin summer dresses cut low at the
neck, all kinds of necklaces are revived
from baby's coral to the pearls and dia-
monds of royalty.
Tulle wells are very much the correct
thing to wear with hats and bonnets. They

The square, white Chinese shawl, made
OF silk, handsomely embroidered, is to be
the fashionable evening wrap for the next
three months in the country.
The Cleopatra blouse. loose fronted,
slightly draped across with high fiaring
collar, lined with plated frills, is most be-
coming for thin, middle-aged women.
One of the freaks of millinery is huge
hat bent in butterfly shape and trimmed
with bunch of these insects which are
bobbing about realistically on sensitive
wires.
The newest way to arrange lace fiounce
is to festoon it twice across the front of the
skirt, first halfway down and then near
the edge, turning over the top in hem and
running in a ribbon.
The reign of the open jacket has popular
lied all manner of lace collarettes, fichus
and what the French ENTHUSIASTICALLY call

Silk gloves matching gowns, hose and

The Newest Gloves.

The newest gloves for day and evening
wear are in the fashionable color-corn-
flower blue. These are loud, and no lady
with modest taste in dress would care to
wear them. Doeskin gloves in mild shades
of tan and brown, with leather bindings
and brass buttons, look smart with tailor
made gowns. They will stand a good deal
of hard wear. The prettiest evening gloves
are in soft, nameless shades of pink, mauve,
gray, drab and yellow. Short gloves are
very little worn.
