NOT ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.

Coal Greek Miners Will Lay Down Arms
III the Lease Law il Repealed.
KNOXVILLE, July "a. The miners of
Coal Creek valley now pause to con-
slider. They are not as anxious to fight
as they were . few days ago, when only
q handful or men opposed them. The
governor had hardly reached the city
when q committee was at his feet, pray
ing indulgence and begging for further
time. They say that they think that
they viii induce their insurgent army
TO lay down their arms and allow the
convicts to return TO the mines If the
governor will promise to call an extra
session of the legislature and ask that
the lease law be repealed. A commit
tee of citizens Of this city met the gov
ernor with the miners and joined in the
appeal. The governor has given them
until afternoon to restore order and al
low the law to take it's course in Coal
Greek valley. II it Is not done by that
time he win have the troops go to the
scene and maintain the dignity Of the
state
At the Point Of the Bayonet.
The troops are anxious TO move and set
tie the question as to who Is the biggest,
the State of Tennessee or the miners of
Anderson county. They are thoroughly
disgusted with the attitude of the peo-
pie Of this section and are not back
ward In expressing themselves. A mass
meeting has just broken up and the
people are running through the streets
yelling, rHurTah for the miners. The
feeling Is becoming intense and if the
governor il inclined to peaceful meas
ures, such conduct will change his reso-
luton. Owing to conditions General
Carnes is enforcing rigid discipline and
the soldiers are demeaning themselves
quietly. Only few who are on special
missions can be found on the streets.

WOMEN OF ROUMANlA.

They Are Much Given to Beads and
Bangles for Ornaments.
The women of Roumania are said to
be beautiful. Their charms are not Of
the fral Anglo-Saxon type, but of the
more rugged order peculiar to South
eastern Europe, and they are peculiarly
fond of jewelry. They wear their
trinkets on all occasions when they don
their better attire, and the quantity OF
jewelry necessary to satisfy their am
bition is surprising. The greatest OBJ
stacle in the way of the qualification of
the Roumanian bellies passion for jew
elry is the poverty of the person upon
whom she relies for its purchase. Near.
ly all Roumanians are peasants. and

ANILINE IN MEDICINE.

Wounds and Sores Completely Sterilized
with the Drug.
1t is a well-known fact in biology
that bacteria and bacilli absorb aniline
and are killed by it. Two German OBJ
servers-Stilling and Wortmann-have
recently considered the possibility of
utilizing this property in medical treat
ment (Humboldt). The diffusibility
and harmlessness of violet aniline dyes
(caHed, for brevity, ''methyl violet')
without arsenic, in small doses, were
first demonstrated on rabbits and
guinea pigs. Then certain eye dis
orders were produced in those animals,
and treated with aniline solution, the re-
suits being excellent. The authors pro-
ceeded to operate on the human subject.

cess, was gradually healed by daily
dropping little aniline solution on the
sore; and similar good results were had
with bad cases of eye disease. 1t soon
appeared that many surgical cases were
open to successful treatment in this
way; and that, in general, wounds and
sores developing suppuration could be
sterilized with aniline. 1t is also thought
that cases of internal Inflammation, as

CASHMERE DRESSES.

TUNES.

TUNES.
Pretty spring dresses for girls eight
to twelve years old are being made in
''shirt suits" with a sleeveless jacket
and skirt of cashmere, and a shirt waist
of wash silk. An excellent model is of
stem or gray-green cashmere and green
and white striped silk. The silk shirt
is gathered on a drawingstring at the
waist, the edges below slipped under
the skirt. At it's top a shallow pointed
yoke is stitched on smoothly, the stripes
meeting in VS. in the back, the front
points ending in line from the top of
the shoulder seams, leaving all the full
ness between gathered just below the
neck. The full silk sleeves-the only
sleeves of the frock-have deep straight
cuffs. The turned-over collar is edged
with a plated ruffle of the silk, anu
two such ruffles extend down the front.
The cashmere skirt is Of two and q
half or three straight breadths widely
hemmed, and gathered to belt which
is covered with black MORE ribbon two
inches wide, with hanging ends at the
back. This completes the dress for the
house and for warm weather, but for
the street is added sleeveless jacket
of green cashmere, the fronts falling
open from the throat to several inches
below the waist, the corners square,
and the back fitted by side forms, and
slashed in four squares. Very narrow
black passementerie is set on all its
edges, on small side pockets, and also
around the armholes. Gray, ecru, and
old-rose cashmeres and navy blue serges
will be made in this way, with shirt
waists of the new wash silks that come

Moody for the Court of Appeals.

Sioux FALLS, Dec. IA. Considerable
inderest has been aroused by the CON-
didacy of ex-senator Moody for the
position Of judge of the new United
States court of appeals for the Ninth
circuit, which includes the states of
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
Missouri, Arkansas and North and
South Dakota. Every effort which can
be brought to bear upon President
Harrison is being made. Senators
Henderson Of Nebraska andSenders of
Montana are actively engaged in
Moody's interest, and the probability
is that Moody stands as good a chance
as anyone, coming, as he does,
originally from President Harrison
own state to South Dakota Moody's
chief competitor is Judge Sanborn, of
Minnesota, but his chances depend
largely upon the defeat of Gen. Grant,
OF the same state, for secretary of war.
