The Hon Roger @ Mills appears to have
come to the conclusion that seat In the
Senate will be the best balm for mis- wound,
and so will be a candidate before the Texas
legislature. 1t is rare that public man
has been so thoroughly crushed by failure
to succeed in his pet aspiration as has Mr..
Mills He appears to be sore and sulky
and anxious TO get away from the body
which has been SO ungrateful and unap.
preciative of his deserts.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is.

1t turns out that neither Mills nor Spring
er is to lead the Democratic majority in the
House, but the Hon. Benton Mcmillan of
Tennessee. 1t is probable that Mcmillan
will make a more competent leader than
Springer-certainly more discreet and
dignlfed one.

AAOi5 are llupJi UetllU
things to be stated about
the clothing-selling now
being carried forward
here. Prices have been
without precedent for
cheapness, upon lots of
remarkable magnitude.
People say" this is un-
healthy, buyers will
expect everything in
some unusual fashion
and at ridiculous prices.
Messrs. Rip Van

Haven't you seen-you
man of middle age or less
hundreds of worthy
business men stranded
on the sands of trade,
wrecked, left high and
dry when the tide went
out just because they
confined their horizon to
the rim of a dime?
Tines change. Woe
betide the man too
stupid to change with
them. These great sales
unusual movements are
perfectly natural. They
are because they ought
to be. The abnormal is
normal. You, the public,
fail Of your rights if you
do not get the gains from
the vicissitudes of trade.
And why? Simply be-
cause in the trade revo-
luton you have stepped
forward twolong strides.
FIRST. You stood in the
jobbers place. SECOND
You stand in the Com-
mission merchant place
face to face with the
great retailer and manu-
facturer who buys cloth
and trimmings direct
from the mills that pro-
duce them, for cost and
offer the finished gar
ment to you to wear, at
prices that are a small
per cent. over cost of

A DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
A Charleston Lady Grows Desperate
Her Husband in North Carolina,

A Charleston, s. c., special of last
week says: Mrs. P. N. Gorse, we'll
known, popular lady of this city, com
mitted suicide last week by hanging
herself in the kitchen of her niece's
house on Pitt street. Mrs Gorse
was unhappy in her marietal rela-
tions, and on the first Of July last
they agreed to a separation. Mr..
Gorse went to a North Carolina re-
sort for the summer, and is still ab-
sent from the city, while his wife
went to live with her niece ON Pitt
street.
Mrs. Gsrse, who was about forty
1--WE years of age, was affected by
her separation from her husband,
and continued to brood over her
trouble, despite the efforts of her
friends to convince her that she was
not so unfortunate as she thought
herself. Yesterday afternoon she
was missed by her niece from her
room, and on searching the house
her body was found in the kitchen
suspended by short piece of clothes
line, one end of which was tied
about scantling which runs along
the wall. 1t was as deliberate and
coolly executed suicide as ever oc-
CURED in this city. Mrs. Gorse was
worth between forty and fifty thou
sand dollars.

"DEACoN" WHITES CAREER.
The Great Metropolitan Grain Mer
chant a North Carolinian.

The assignment of S. V. White &
Co., III New York Tuesday caused
great surprise as the firm was con-
sidered the richest and most prosper
GUS in the country. The failure
causes "a panic in New York and
Chicago, alike, as most of the grain
merchants were dependent upon this
leading firm for support. It is not
generally known perhaps but Stephen
Y. White was born in Chatham coun-
ty, North Carolina, on August 1,
1881. His father belonged to q
Pennsylvania Quaker family which
moved South just after the Revolu-
tion, and his mother was a member
of one of the Oldest families of his
native State. Anti-slavery senti-
ments caused his father to remove
from North Carolina a few weeks
after the birth of this son, and he
settled IN what were then the wilds OF
Illinois S. V. White passed the first
1S years of his life on his fathers
farm, and earned his first money by
the sale of the skins of wild animals
which he trapped. In 1S49, being
assisted by an elder brother, he be
gan to prepare himself to enter Knox
College, illinois, from which he was
graduated in 1854. Then he went
to St. Louis, where, after working
fo'': :, few months as book-keeper,
Il. '.,,li"ti law in the office of b.
Graz Brown and John A. Kasson,
and was admitted to the bar.
