Swift Vengeance.

FoRsYTHE, GA. August 3l.-Lula
Butler, a colored school teacher, who
resides eight miles from here, was bru-
tally assaulted yesterday afternoon by
John Jossey, her rejected lover JOS
sey waited in ambush until the school
was dismissed and demanded that the
girl accompany him in a buggy to the
nearest parson. This she fatty refused
to do, and The negro then attacked
her. despite ner for help. The negroes
were holding meeting about half a
mile away. They quickly dispersed,
and headed by the preacher, began a
search for Jossey with guns and
sticks, and Jossey was soon run down,
and when last seen was lying in the
woods completely perforated with
bullets.

Deafness Cant be Cured

There is anly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the muscous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inllamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out, and this tube re.
stored to its normal condition, hear.

cases out of ten are caused by catarrh

The Speaking Yesterday.

Gen. JAS G. Fields, the Third party
candidate Tor Vice-prcsident spoke
here yesterday. Although it was adj
yertised that fair division of time
would be given, any one desiring to
meet him. this was not done. Gen.
Fields spoke for nearly three hours. in a
scattering way-nearly all his ha-
rangue was taken up in the regulation
financial problem, demanding more
money. AS usual with such howlers,
his references to the Force bill and
tariff reform issues, were very satir-
ical-said there was nothing in them.
Speech throughout the whole, was tame
and tiresome and disappointment to
nearly everybody present; it contained
no oratory, and little logic or reason.
Many glaring mistatemonts and mis-
representations of Democracy, were
INDUCED by the speaker.
As Col. John Hallum arose to an
swer the gentleman, Gen. Fields and
all of his Third party friends left.
Such conduct is both shameful and
disgraceful. All the same Col. Hal
lum addressed his Democratic friends
and denounced Mr.. Fields falsehoods
and misrepresentation, and effectually
exposed the fallacies of the humbug
reformers.

are splendid speakers and orators

Fields, who sat on the stage. 1t was
a treat to listen to the eloquence and
wit of these two noted Texans. Both
sides claim for their champion a com
plete demolition Of his opponent, in

FASHION FADs.

The new French vrille, or gimlet benga-
lines, are called ondine silk in the New
York shops.
The favorite trimming on simple taffeta
petticoats is three rufIles of pinked silk
overlapping each other, More elaborate
imported skirts are finished with n wide
ruffle OF black lace edges and insertions
over a colored silk flounce
Evening capes of fine ladies' cloth, in
delicate aesthetic hues like terra Gotta, Nile
green, old pink or yitux blue, are being
made up in Henri Deux shape, and lined
with striped Powered brocade in delicate
patterns and faint fade" colors
Walking dresses barely touch the ground
at the back, but are now full four yards
around the bottom. This extra fulness is
held in at the back in cluster of plaits
and by use of cores, so us to make the skirt
quite smooth at the front and sides.
Evening dresses are usually made in
some modification of the princess style.
The much talked of empire styles of dress
are nothing more than princess dress
wound high under the arms, with wide
scarf that hangs low over the dress skirt.
A few rich reception dresses of dark vel
vet, striped with bayadere rainbow stripes
of satin sunk in the velvet pile, have been
imported this season, but it is not likely
that bayadere stripes will ever become pop
ular again, as they are only becoming to
exceptionally tall, slender women.
The new feather boas, of the softest
plumes of the owl and in tawny natural col
ors, cost $50 and measure two yards. Boas
Of curled ostrich feathers in the same
length cost SIS. Little round collars of
marabout feathers in gray and white cost
$3.50; in clipped ostrich plumes, $3.50

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

1t is unfortunate, to say the
least, that certain portions of
Archbishop Satolli's address on
the school question impute vic
iousness to our system. In ex-
planning why the public school is
under Rome's ban, he says it is
"because in the public schools a
purely secular education is given
-inasmuch as it excludes all
teaching of religion, because
teachers are chosen indiscrimi-
nately from every sect, and no
law prevents them from working
the ruin of youth-so that they
are at liberty to instill errors and
the germs of vice in the tender
minds. Likewise, certain corrup-
ton seemed to impend from the
fact that in these schools, or at
least in many of them, children
of both sexes are brought togeth-
er for their lessons in the same
ROOM"
This certainly is not even a
fair estimate of the public
schools influence, but an I'M
questionably prejudiced and
grossly misrepresentation one.
Far from working the ruin of
the youth of the land, far from
instilling germs of vice, the
schoolhouse has ever and still is
an elevating and civilizing influ-
ence and a making for morality
wherever it is set up. Child for
child, class for class, parish for
precinct, diocese for district, no
one can draw a line, and say on
this side are the truly good chill
dren, taught in the parochial
schools, and on this the children
vice-instilled and on the way to
moral ruin. In later life even, no
line between the good and bad
among equal numbers can be de-
termined by the parochial school
line. The Archbishop's attack
on the whole school system is so
sweeping that, like all generali-
cations, it is too comprehensive
and sweeps the ground from I'M
der his own feet, as from every
part of the country must come
the cry, 'It is not true of our
schools, " "nor of ours, and "nor
of ours. "-PhaId. Press.

If the Democratic office-seek-
ers were wise in their day they
would pay handsomely for Re-
publican experience and profit in
the end. They all, or most of
them, have "their offices al
ready, all planned how they
will do,-be big guns here and at
Washington, help to shape the
party and run the government,
nothing less than 81 to $40 a
day for them, build big houses
and live as becomes statesmen
and budding millionaires. -
They have the endorsements of
their men," Alas their men are
human like some of our men
We're. Behind the bush they will
request as a personal favor "
the appointment of Mr.. So and
So. Many who want to be first
will be glad to be last. Many
will be poorer but wiser politi-
clans. Our advice $50 in adj
vance, like lawyers. But it is
worth millions.
