in his excitement got too close to

Novel Powder-Puff.

A powder-puff is something OF @
nuisance, because it necessitates box,
and the lid will come off that, and an
after-dusting with the handkerchief has
to follow the puff, and so the perform
ance of taking the CRIME or the
shine off ones face comes to take on
the seriousness OF an operation.
A certain young woman has an in
genious pocket-piece which makes this
performance the deftest, simplest thing
in the world.
1t can be carried on right under the
eyes of mankind without his being O.
bit the wiser, unless he is shrewder
than he has any business to be. 1t is
q pocket-bag made OF thin chamois, s
inches long and 81 broad. The first
thing she did after she cut it out was
to lold it to the length into four equal
parts.
Then she took tiny bodkin and
pierced the lowest fourth part full OF
little holes. On the second fourth she
laid O. thin bit OF cotton wool, and
busted face powder thickly all over it,;
then another layer OF wool just as
thin as she could handle it, and more
powder busted over that.
Then she folded up the pierced
fourth over the wool and powder,
making q small pocket, and sewed it
tightly everywhere.
Then she bound the whole piece with
narrow blue ribbon, and folded the
upper half quite around the lower,
and sewed blue ribbon ties to hold it
together.
There was the whole toilet appliance
small enough when unrolled to 90
into the palm OF the hand, u compact
puff and powder box all in one, no
fear OF spilling powder, no after-dust-
ing to get the surface layer of, no
bother OF any kind. And she rose up
and called herself blessed.

front to the shoulders and the
bertha filling in the front, and the
mount OF the pearl-sticked fan. Pur-
pie velvet barred the brocade in front,
giving it richness and color, and purple
velvet made the back and thepolnted
train. Purple velvet made the bows
that caught the sleeves on the shout
ders, the bows, or ends of the velvet,
pointed up sharp and straight like
wings; two, contrary to all anatomi-
cal principles, finding place on either
side.
The other was rose colored gown
strewn with pale blue flowers. 1t mad

Soudan lace introduced into the two
wide panels in front; in the middle
was an enormous bow OF rose velvet
surmounting the lace plaitings and
surmounted in turn by three rose,col-
ored prince OF Wales feathers. Three
lengths OF rose-colored ribbon velvet
were looped from this bow and caught
at different heights on the right side
with other bows aud pIumes; on the
left side a length ofsoft silk wascaught
beneath the middle bow and carried
around to the back, where it was held
with the biggest bow OF all and the
most imposing bunch OF feathers. The
short sleeves were of embroidered
chiffon held by bows and feathers
on the shoulders, both bows and feath-
ers standings erect. The fuzzy, mucu-
curled hair OF the wearer was twisted
into Greek "knot"-or, more accu-
rately, bunch-with feathers plant
ed in its heart and rearing themselves
skyward over all.

Flfty-FIve Pounds for Love Letter
The letters of John Keats-especial-

and in perfect condition. 1t is ad-

He Set His Teeth and Did 1t.

DR.. Savage, OF the American Bible
Society, was, during the late war, a
strong Union man.
Just after the battle ofPerryville, in
October, 1862, DR.. Savage was at one
of his appointments to baptize some
children. There was large crowd,
and a sturdy Southern matron
brought her four children to the altar.
"Name this Child" said the Union
preacher, laying his hand on the boys
head. "Simon Bolivar Buckner,"
was the reply, which caused o smile to
come over the congregation, but, the
btage preacher went on with his duty.
"Name this child" taking the next
in order. pierre Gustave Toutant
Beauregard," and the smile grew into
o singer, while DR.. Savage became red
in the face. He baptized the young
namesake OF the great engineer-soldier
and went on with the ceremony.
"Name this child" hegasped, reaching
for the third. "Albert Sydney Johns
ton," came the answer. The smile be-
came audible and the preacher apo
plectic.
Heaving a sigh of relief he took the
fourth child, little girl, whose gender
he fondly supposed would preclude a
continuation OF heroic reproduction,
and said: Name this child" "Mary

opals May Now Be Fashionable

Opals May Now Be Fashionable.
Queen Victoria, at her last drawing
room, wore necklace and some
brooches OF large opals surrounded by
brilliants. Now all London is after
them and the world OF fashion every.
where. The unhappy significance is
forgotten, for the time, and all the
sad associations clinging to the fatal
jewel, Poor Eugene, the beautiful,
ill.starred Empress of the French, re-
luctantly consented to wear q set OF
opals at the last grand fete given at
st. Cloud in 1870. Two days later the
Franco Prussian war was declared
and the empire dethroned. The Aus
trian Empress took from their case a
set OF opals, which for years had been
lying by, and wore them on the occa-
sion OF her last public appearance just
before the death OF her son Rudolph.
But now opal is the jewel, and come
veal, come woe, the fitful gem will
fash upon us everywhere.

The Real Uses Of Linen.

The world, or this part OF it at
least, is full OF housekeepers who think
that there is no material for sheets
and pillow cases comparable to linen.
They don't always have it, to be sure,
because it is expensive, but they al
ways covet it, and finger the shining
breadths lovingly and wonder if the
time will ever come when all these
things shall be added unto them. But
the truth about linen is that it isn't
the ideal dressing for beds at all. 1t
is cold and slippery, and insures d
sensitive person the dream OF sleeping
on an iceberg which does well
enough for an occasional expert
ence, like sea-sickness, but which
pals on too frequent repetition. Be-
sides that, it wrinkles and tumbles in
spite OF it's heavier body, much more
than Gotten does, giving bed after
one nights use q most slovenly and
neutrality-suspicious..
Nobody recommends linen for body
wear. It's firm texture and hard
surface make it wholly non.absorbent,
it allows the body to become chilled
by refusing the Precipitation, and so
has been known to bring on serious
illness. For outside wear in summer,
linen may be tolerated as clothing,
but nowhere else.
Where, however, it is at its useful
lest and bestis in household uses. For
table service, for the toilet and for
minor ornamental details, it is simply
invaluable-its smoothness oftexture
it's brilliancy, which laundering even in
creases, it's exquisite freshness makes
it the one fabric bit to drape the
dining table, and to use in the toilet
while it's suitability for needle work
decoration makes it admirable for al
kinds OF fancy work. And here it il
rightfully used, but to wear next TIT
skin and sleep in-no.

A DUEL IN THE STREET.
DoubIy Fatal Holiday PIeasantries in

GREENvILLE, Fla, Jan. 3.-Messengen
coming in here by private conveyancs
today bring the news of a bloody street
fight last Thursday in Perry, forty miles
south Of here, in which Robert Parker
and John ]. GArnto, ex-county Judge Of
TAYLOR county, were killed and Thomas
Walters so badly injured that he will
probably die.
Walters and William Parker got into =
dispute in front of ]. NJ. Gsrnto's store
and Parker finally cut Walters across the
abdomen with a long-bladed pocket-knife.
Walters then fred his pistol at Parker, but
without effect Parker got his shotgun
from his wagon near by and the firing be-
came general. BY the intervention of Rob-
ert Parker, a brother of, William. Marion
Murphy both armed) and of Judge
Garnto, who tried to stop the fight, Wal
tiers put three pistol shots into the body
of Bob Parker in rapid succession and Bob
fell dead in the road. William Parker let
90 both barrels of his gun at Walters, but
both charges hit Judge Garnto full in the
stomach and he was taken insensible into
a store.
Walters snapped his pistol at Parker
twice while the latter was shooting at him
with his gun. Then he ran into a store
near by, grabbed some cartridges from
shelf and wason his way back 10 the scene
of trouble when he became too weak from
loss Of blood TO travel. He was picked up
by friends.
The coroner's jury in the matter Of tho
killing of Bob Parker found that Waltert
killed him in self-defense. Early this
morning Judge Garnto died after SUFFERING
intensely for nearly three dsys.

WABASH COLLEGE WINS.
An Important Estate Suit Decided in
Its Favor.

CHICAGO, July 4-Judge Blodgett, in
the federal court today rendered his
opinion in a controversy between the
heirs of an eccentric but wealthy old
farmer named Jacob NJ. Harmon over the
ownership of over 5000 acres of land in
Iroquois county, ILL.,, and Warren county,
Ind. About fifteen years ago Harmon
made contract with two of his nephews,
Jacob and Jeremiah Harmon, which, in
effect, gave the old gentleman's posses
sions to them at his death, provided they
made certain improvements on the land
and paid an annual rental for it. In 1884
a new agreement, which provided that
the two nephews must surrender the land
at any time the owner desired, was made.
In 1887 Harmon died and left a will
which disposed of ], 400 acres of the land
to Wabash college of Indiana, a large
portion to different relatives and but GOO
acres each to the two nephews. The will also
provided that these last bequests be sub
iect to an annuity OF 25 cents per acre to
be paid to the American bible society of
New York. The two nephews rebelled at
this and filed a bill in the U. s. circuit
court to enforce the original agreement
that they were to receive the land. The
written agreement made by the two
nephews in 1884 was fatal to their claim,
however, in the courts opinion. There
was some question in the courts mind as
to the annuity in perpetuity to be paid to
the bible society and there will probably
be some further litigation on that point,
but the bill to enforce the original agree
ment was dismissed for want of equity.

Senator Turpie left for Washington
Monday afternoon. Just before his de-
psrture he was asked by SENTINEL re.
porter:
"What do you think of the recent
speech of Gov ernor Hill at Albany"
81 DO not favor the course OF action, or
rather of non-action, outlined in that
speech" said the senator. "The demo-
cratic party ought not to abandon or post
poue its efforts TO relieve the people from
the numberless mischiefs inflicted by the
Mckinley law merely because these eff
forts may be defeated by the senate or by
q presidential veto. To expose and avenee
the monstrOus wrong and injustice done
10 the interests of the farm and OF labor by
the tyrannical monopolies which controlled
the last congress is one part of our
duty; 10 show and 10 do something better
than the evils we denounce is another
Just as binding. If our efforts for the
right fail, the people will reinforce them
at the next election.
'Laissez fsire-to let things be as they
are-is q phrase which does not belong TO
the language of reform; rather TO the dialect
OF reaction, slOth and indifference.
There ought to be action. The detail
OF method may not be so material, oniy il
we are 10 have tariff reform by piecemeal
1 want the pieces TO be large, in goodly
number and the meal itself to be a full
one.
"As to the plan of campaign. to which
much OF the Albany speech is devoted. il
may be permitted to remark. with due
Difference TO the Justly distinguished aud
very eminent and able senator from New
York, that it seems not 10 be the most
suitable subject for discussion upon ex-
ternal lines in any way.
The body of the people. the general
public, are only concerned about the diff
ferences between parties. that they be
clearly stated and set forth, both by word
and deed, so that the voter may make his
choice.
Differences between members of the
same party about the plan of campaign
stand upon a different footing and lower
ground. l have full confidence in thu
representatives Of the people so recently
chosen and so lately come together. We
have a house comprising in its majority
membership men as capable aud as thor
oughly versed In the trying questions OF
our time as any who have a. any
period occupied seats IN either branch OF
congress. Our efforts at reform and ouI
struggle to relieve the country from the
billion burden of expenditure may not be
successful but this will not be the fault Oh
