Those art-full Glasgow
Bingham men have set a hard
pace for the rest of the cot
ton-weaving world. On the
counters to-day you can see for
the first time /ou,, new con-
ceits in their Ginghams.
Daintlest and drcssiest of
the lot, perhaps, are the polka
dots-big and littlc-woven
in pretty contrasting colors on
the fllmiest Zephyr Bingham.
All the favorite ground colors,
heightened by beauty spots.
You need to see them to sense
their full loneliness. 90 cents

In another style broad lace
stripes give richness and tone
to a stuff already in the front
rank. In still another there is
an over-plaiding of Chenille
cord, giving almost as much
lift to the beauty of the goods
as embroidery does to swiss
or cambria. Either of these
styles SO cents.
A satin-twilled Check ends
the newcomer list for the day.
Quietly rich, modestly hand
some. The more you see of
It the closer it gets to your lik-
ing. AS cents a yard.

The New York World calls attention
to the fact that Senator Blair's cranky
education scheme is receiving mortal
injury from the public school features
Of the census. The figures show that at
tendance has grown more rapidly at the
south than anywhere else in the coun-
try. While the proportion of pupils to
population has decreased in the North
Atlantic states from 90 per cent in 1880
to 10 per cent, that in the south has in
creased from 1914 in 1880 to 1877 per
cent Still it is hardly probable that
these statistics will make much impress
sion upon the radicals who find their
profit in misrepresenting that section of
the country. The increase from 1870 to
1880 was even greater than that from
1880 to ls00-from 6.3 to 16.4-but that
pregnant fact did not deter Mr.. Blair
and his associates from declaring that
the south was dwelling in ignorance
which was constantly growing blacker
and deeper

Cunard and Galatea Stripes.
Do you know them? There
you have a cotton that will
stand grief and come up smil-
ing all the time. No nom
sense about a Cunard or a
Galatea. Try to tear a piece
with the warp or across it.
Makes you think of leather
for toughness, doesn't it. But
it's a dressy cotton for all
that, and not overly heavy.
Just right for tennis, or boat
ing, or everyday suits for
women or children. English
mothers know all about it.
American mothers are fast
finding it out. Cunard, 3oc.;
Galatea, rs and 4oc.

The next United States Senate, SAYS
the New York Times, will consist of So
Senators, and the roll now lacks but
three names to make it complete. The
names Of As Republicans are upon the
list. Of the remaining 80 names 81 are
those of straight Democrats; the other
two belong to the Farmers Alliance
men elected from South Carolina and
Kansas. The vacancies will be filled
by elections in Florida, Illinois and
South Dakota. Should Democrat be
chosen in each Of these states the Senate
would stand Republicans, AS; Demo-
Gratis, AZ, It is interesting to note that
three of AS Republicans whose names
are upon the roll of the next Senate are
not rightfully there, but appear there
by virtue Of thefts of senatorships com
mitted in Montana and New Hampshire.
But for these thefts the roll would
stand; Republicans, 43: Democrats and
Farmers Alliance men, Az; to he elected,
3; and there would be small doubt that
the filling of the vacancies would result
in Democratic supremacy.

1t will be discouraging to those Re-
publicans who have been hoping that
some good might come out of the
Kansas Nazareth to learn that Judge
PETER, Senator Ingalls, successor,
despite his political antecedents, is not
likely to be in utilization with that party
during his senatorial career. In public
speech following his election he declared
that when he left the Republican party
he cleft it for good" and he further an
nounced his hostility to the Mckinley
bill and to the attempt to revive sec
tional strife by the enactment of the
Force bill. The new Kansas Senator
may be crank, but he docs not seem to
be altogether fool, by any means.

late gale Saturday night with heavy wind
from southeast. Very heavy seas swept
the vessels decks of everything movable

her sails out of the bolt-ropes and damaged
her rigging somewhat. On Sunday morn
ing the wind veered to northwest and the
weather rapidly grew cold. Several of the
crew were Japanese previously from a
wrecked vessel, shipped at Natal and I'M

crippled condition of the vessel the captain
was put 10 his wits ends to properly navi-

THE NEXT GREAT WILL CONTEST
 The readers of the newspapers will probably soon have spread before them the reports of the proceedings against the will of Mrs. Hopkins-Searles who died the other day bequeathing all her property to her husband, Edward F. Searles, whom she married about four years ago. As the property amounts to about $30, ,000, ,O00, the contest will be a very important one. Timothy Hopkins, the adopted son of the testatrix, is to be the contester. He is a rich man, but he thinks, or professes to think, that he is better entitled to the Hopkins wealth than MT. Searles is And it is said that he is backed by Leland Stan Southern Pacific railroad, In which Mrs. Searles was largely interested. The ground on which the will is to be attacked is the usual one in such cases-in testamentary incapacity and undue influence. The un- due influence is said to have been exercised by the husband.
 There will probably be long and bit ter fight, and perhaps some scandaleus revelations. The lawyers will grow fat and the estate lean. And perhaps in the end there will be compromise. The affair will again call attention to the dan gers of having money and trying to leave it to anybody. Even a woman's will may be broken in the courts and her money go just where she didn't want it to. There are but two ways to avoid the dangers which lie in wills. One must either have no property orgive 1t away before death.
