Cleveland in the New England states
when he ran some $4,000 votes behind
the democratic state ticket. Who was
it that reduced his majority in Virginia
from 5000 to 1900; in West Virginia
from 1000 to 500; in North Carolina
from $4,000 to. $4,000; in Indiana
from Clio to 2,344 less than nothingP
Compared with the votes of these
states which held state elections in
1883 and 1889 and 1890, Mr.. Cleveland
ran behind his party nomination in
seventeen. He did not gain IN Il soil
tary one where the gain was worth rs
much us one electoral vote to hcparty.
Yet, because he ran behind in New
York the figures are used to prove
%treachery. Either they prove treach-
cry wherever either the national or
state tickets varied i'll maiorities, or
they prove nothing.

JUDGE uATRoN FOR COLLECTOR.

To the Editor of the Intclligencer.
AS the time is fast approaching when we
are to make our party nominations, it is
proper that attention should be called to
the qualifications and claims of the can-
didates, for the more important offices es-
pecially. Without disparagement to any
candidate, l wish to call attention to
Judge Thomas A. Catron, his eminent
qualifications, high character and just
claims upon the people, among whom he
was born mi whom he served so well and
faithfully in a responsible, yet unremun-
e~rative, Office.
Mr.. Catron was born and raised in the
county; as boy n man, both as farmer
and in the responsible position of county
Judge, his walk in life has been,honorable.
As county iudge-an Office with but little
pay attached thereto, but of vast respon-
sibilities-he proved q very capable officer,
and this record, of which any man might
be proud, added to his well known good
sense, energy and industry, gives assur-
ance TO the people that if Judge Catron is
nominated for collector, as now seems to
be almost certain, he will prove as good
and efficient an officer as ever held that
place.
Fellow democrats, is not forty years
spent in your midst, an. honorable record
on your county bench, Il character for in
dustry second to me claims that pre-
eminently fit Judge Cat ron for the Office
and entitle him TO your votes? would
not disparage the claims of any of his OPP
ponents; but, look tine field calmly over,
as it is your duty as good citizens to do,
n hen say, whatever the claims of 9th
ers, are not those of Judge Catron's supe-
rior? 1t is apparent that such is the view
of the people, but let us turn out and give
him a rousing majority.

demure look out from under the brim is
only an expression which she has put on
to match her headgear; but wait till you
see her in the afternoon, wearing her
driving hat. You will change your
opinion of her entirely. She will look
the very picture OF womanly dignity.
When che dons her lawn tennis costume
will come another transformation. In
short, the hat makes the woman, and IL
YOU want to know exactly what sort OF
a head is under it you must begin by
taking off the hat.
The first bonnet in these pictures Is q
lace capote for married lady no longer
young. 1t is composed Of two pieces OF
ecru lace sewed upon a circle OF tulle.
Between the lace you put spIigs OF small
flowers, using one for an aigrette, and
at the side and at the back you place
bows of double-faced satin ribbon.
At the Monmouth Park races, the
other day, although l couldn't help ad-
miring the charming little capotes worn
by the married ladies, yet it was very
evident that even the married women
are inclined to thrust aside every style
of headgear that suggests the bonnet OF
year ago. The hat is triumphant at
this end of the century, and now no
woman, excepting, as l have said, those
no longer young wears capote except,
| of course, on occasions OF ceremony.
This is the work of the summer girl
| that sprite of restlessness, that child oil

| does her mind. She is coy and maidenly

don't wonder at it. for who would think
that a bit of gold embroidered lace

flowers in front, could produce such 4 n

FERROUS way set the dotlet on the OF

1t Is an egregious error to say that 1t is

Just at present this question OF hats
is OF prime Importance to the summer
girl and to the lady of fashion. They
feel that, no matter how elegant gown
may be, 1t is the hat that rroclaims the
woman. There is this strange thing
about women's hats-they suppress the
character of the wearer to such Won
derful degree. You meet the summer
girl on the ho.el veranda, wearing a
shade hat, and you forthwith conclude
that she is on mischief bent, that her

PROJECTED reproduction Of "The

with, as promised, the cast seen in

The second charming bit OF headgear
Is in the line of capotes. only this one
is floral in character, being made up of
diadem of shaded gillihowers. The

these dominant shades.

audacity in curious combinations. How
do you like this. for instance2 A ruch-
ing of mauve ribbon, nesting around a
pale-blue bow, with an outstanding
sheaf of ripening oats. On the dainty
head of one summer girl / saw somec
thing quite striking-a leghorn hat in
the rough, IL may so describe 1t, that
is, just as 1t came from the weaver's
hands, with all the struggling ends OF
the straw still sticking in it, fantastic
ally trimmed with sprlgs of oats and
large mauve poppies grouped at the
bottom of the sheaf. Leghorns are
very popular, and many of them seem
to he copied from Vatican pictures Of
country maids. On the side there is
usually topknot OF flowers and four
Mephisto plumes at the front. Large
hats will be much worn at garden
parties, but the garniture will harmon
ize with the toilet. At the garden
parties in July the summer girl reaches
her fullest bloom; she is superb work
OF art. In August she becomes sensa-
tional. She empties her paint pot on
the canvas. She Is not a picture; she
is an arrangement.
