Trousers the Correct Thing for the Ladies'

Trousers the Correct Thing for the Ladies'.
1t is well understood by the advanced
women of the period that trousers were
woman's original dress. 1t was the in
ferior male creature in the primitive
times that had to wear skirts, but as
civilization undermined the stamina of
the female, and she lost her prestige and
was persuaded that woman was a weaker
vessel, she allowed men to steal her
trousers and palm off on her the skirts
with which they had before been COM
PEELED to envelop themselves.
The cavil that has been made that
there isn't much ornament and trimming
to be got onto trousers has been fully
answered. Trousers with high color to
them, trousers with frills and furbelows
and ribbons and flowers, trousers Of red
and yellow with roundabouts of blue and
green, trousers of velvet end silk and
old lace and darts and shirring and
fichus and galloons, trousers as resplen-
dent as angel wings with roundabout
and hat to match will always take the
cake. In fact, the reason trousers are
not now thing Of beauty and joy for
ever is merely because man ruined them
after he stole them from his wife and
sisters.
When woman, with her eye for color
and her genius for trimmings, gets back
hor trousers, they are going to look very

How the Cat Flea Breeds.

1gW shD N8s 1kU9 bEVDeAes
During the spring and summermonths
the female flea simply drops her eggs
into the fur Of the cat. but in autumn
and winter she CLUES each firmly upon q
hair. These eggs are 30 small as to be
barely visible to the naked eye, but un-
der the microscope they are extremely
beautiful, being perfectly translucent,
much resembling the loveliest pearls.
The flea deposits nearly 200 Of these at a
time, running about and dropping them
here and there. They soon hatch into
small, white footless worms which go
into cocoon in about ten days.
Nothing can be prettier than this CO.

not larger than a mite, but feeds well
and grows quickly in size and strength,

trusted agent to separate the beautiful
Pauline from her mother, and thus put
such curb upon the naughty spirit OF
the Morels that they would be forced to
accede to his wishes, When however.
in addition to this piece Of bad news, he
was informed of his daughters interfer-
ence and her demand that either the
Morels be confronted with their accuser
or set at liberty, his wrath was so great
that it threatened to gorge his brain
with blood and put an end to his life
then and there. For several days he
kept aloof from the police camp, during
which time the Belle Of the Cariboo"
paid frequent visits to the guardhouse,
and it was quite evident that something
else besides mere desire to see justice
done inspired these visits.
Lucy Roberts knew little and cared
less for the conventional ways of love-

how convinced she may be Of the mans
affection for her and certain of hers for

A sALooNKEEPER ACQUITTED.
The Evidence Against Daniel Deignar
Was TOO Flimsy.

The Evidence Against Daniel Deignan
Was Too Flimsy.
Daniel Deignan was tried yesterday morn
ing in the police court for selling liquor at
his place at CASTOR and Montgomery streets
last Sunday night, and was acquitted.
Policeman j. w. Ryan testified that he
met cOlored man named George johnson
between Z and o'clock Sunday night at
West Broad and New Houston streets, and
gave him money with which to buy a flask
Of whisky wherever he could get it, and re-
port the result to him. The next morning
johnson brought him a flask Of whisky
which he said he had bought from Deignan
the night before
Johnson testified that he met Deignan
coming out Of his barroom door at 10: 80
o'clock Sunday night and got him to go
back and get flask of whisky for him, for
which he paid 25 cents. johnson swore that
Deignnn sold him the flask Of whisky which
was exhibited in the court.
Several witnesses testified for the defend
ant, and showed beyond any doubt that
Deignan was visiting a. relative In Yama-
craw from 6 o'clock to IL o'clock Sunday
night, and that he did not return to his
place Of business until after midnight. The
testimony OF these witnesses made 1t so
clear that the saloonkesper could not have
sold the whisky TO johnson Sunday night
that Mayor McDonough dismissed toe case
without requiring Deignan to make any
statement, or his counsel OConnor 81
OByrns, to make any argument

IMPRESSED BY THE HANGING.

Dotson Does Not Want New Trial,
But Wants to Hang Right Away.
The hanging of Morea Kitchen Friday
made deep impression on the prisoners in
the Jail, and for the remainder of the day
they were unusually quiet and given up APP
parently in most instances to deep medita-
tion. Yesterday, however, the feeling
wore off, the prisoners assumed their usual
jollity and no one would even think hang
ing had taken place within Its walls.
Lucius Dotson, the negro murderer of
JEFF Coates. will doubtless be the next man
to die by the rope. He has already been
condemned, but his case has been appealed
to the supreme court. where it will be heard
next month. 1t is not at all likely that q
new trial will be granted. as the murderer's
attorney has expressed himself as having q
very slight hope Of securing reversal of
the lower court.
II a new trial is refused, and there Is
every reason to believe it will a special
term Of the court will be held, and Dotson
resentenced to death. This will put his
execution in the latter part of November
or early in December.
The hanging of Kitchen had rather
a peculiar effect on Dotson. After
1t was over he told one of the jail officials
that he didn't want new trial, but desired
to be hanged as soon as possible, so ss he
could go to heaven, evidently having gotten
the notion that the rope and trap-door
is the most direct route to the celestial
kingdom.

THE SOUTH BOUNDS PLANS.
The Road Will Not be Extended ANY
Further South.


Further South.
President H. NJ. Conner of the South
Bound railroad said yesterday that there
was nothing Of unusual Importance in the
meeting OF the directors Of the construction
company and Of the railroad directors last
week. The meeting was the first of the
South Bounds now board
Mr.. Conner was asked il anything was
done about the proposed Florida extension,
of which mention has been made in the
MORNING NEWS. He replied that there
was no probability of the South Bound
going any further south. 1t would be more
likely to be extended north ward.
When questioned as to what he meant by
this, Mr.. Conner would give no definite
reply. He was positive that the South
Bound would be pushed no further south
ward, however.
A Columbia dispatch says that arrange
ments have been made by which the South
Bound will enter Columbia over the tracks
Of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta,
making junction a few miles out OF the
city. The arrangements is similar TO the
one by which the South Bound enters over
the tracks Of the Central railroad. A tele-
graph office will be established at the juno
ton. The South Bound will use the Colurn-
bia audGreen vile freight depot at Columbia.
As will be seen by this arrangement the
South Bound proposes to use the terminus
Of the Richmond and Danville railroad OF

Either the crop this year is very large or 1t
is being marketed very rapidly. Cotton
men are inclined to the latter opinion.

crop to mature very rapidly, and IS being
marketed with equal rapidly. from

they are served with better class of those
good things. when you consider the fact

butter which is the most delicious in this
country, is found at James J. Joycs's. As the
season opens and preparations are now be-
