Furs for the Winter.

Furs seem to possess new attractions
this winter. 1t cannot be because the
weather is so cold they are needed more
than ever before, nor because they are
any more beautiful. 1t must be because
they are so costly. The empress of Rus
STA OWLS the most beautiful furs in the
world, many of them gifts from villagers
on fete day occasions. The Duchess of
Edinburgh is said also to possess some
very costly sets. Mrs. Mackay has
mantle of black fox, made up Of 10000
separate skins, at cost of 60 800 several
years ago. Though crown sable is one
of the costliest furs brought to this coun-
try American women do not seem very
partial to it. They prefer more fluffy
styles, at least for trimmings. White
Mongolian is seen as facings and collars
for delicate colored evening wraps.
Bright red opera cloaks. are trimmed
with black marten or black Persian
lamb. Black lynx and mink are found
on loose fronted coats made of Bedford
cord or tan cloth. White Thibet goat
was the lining seen in long mauve
cloth evening wrap. Another OF sapphire
blue was trimmed with sable. Very
pretty long garments of broche cloth in
mixed brown have trimmings of light
brown mouffion fur, which makes de-
hghtfully fluffy boa Gray moufflon is
also used as borders for colored house
gowns. A pretty Bedford cord coat was
found the other day, which had trim
mings of dark brown fur, which proved
to be brown dyed. Astrakhan, both black
and gray, is also found in many medium
priced jackets. Brown Mongolian muffs
are inexpensive and neat. The Russian
style of much embroidery and much fur
is seen in all imported designs as the
winter approaches. There seems, in
deed, to be no end of variety to the furs
in use. the cheaper styles giving a warm
comfortable appearance that is not to be
disdained.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A Noble Woman Gone.

A noble woman worker and true friend
of the woman's cause has departed this
life in CALIFORNIA; Anna Dersmore
French, M. D., has died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Florence Densmore
jackson, in San Francisco. She was
great sufferer for many years, and
though the best medical skill was used
and nothing left undone which devoted
love and sufficient means could devise
for her comfort, yet she has left the
ranks of the faithful toilers for woman's
advancement, and passed on to the eter-
nal rest. Many friends both east and
west will mourn their loss. Her re-
mains were placed in Laurel Hill ceme-
terry.
DR.. French was an early member of
Sorosis, joining that noted woman's club
in 1868, and was often among its eff
cient officers. She assisted to form the
Association for the Advancement of
Women, and was among the early Off
GERS of that women's congress. Her eff
forts were untiring in all movements for
moral advancement and social purity,
and her lectures to mothers and on vari-
Gus physiological subjects were calcu.
lated to do a vast amount of good, es-
pecially as waves of influence toward
hygienic knowledge leading to sanitary
measures in the homes of the people,

They Wash Once a Year.

The facility with which washing is
done by the use of borax accounts for
its popularity in the low countries and
in Germany, where to many families
washday comes but once a year. The
notion of cleanliness which prevails
among the better class of Germans for
bids the storing or accumulation of soiled
linen in the dwelling house. hence the

Woman Artists and the Worlds Fair.

Woman Artists and the Worlds Fair.
The main interest of late in women's
work for the exposition has centered in
the spirited competition in furnishing
models and designs for the sculpture
which is to decorate the exterior of the
Woman's building. Nothing has been
announced regarding the designs and
models submitted, but letters from lady
managers, both in and out of Chicago,
evince great enthusiasm concerning the
contest, indicating that the competition
is widespread. A young Chicago girl,
Miss Nellie Mears, who has done much
creditable work in Wisconsin, her for
mer home, has entered the list. This
competition is in models and sketches,
for the winged figures which are to dec

How Some Climb the Literary Ladder.
A man who claims to have the data
for the following lives in Chicago and is
in a business which enables him to know
whereof he speaks. He says:
Not long ago was in the publishing
department of house, when | picked
up cover of book. The title was ia
miliar. The work was that of French
author. The book had been translated.
| noticed that the name of the translator
was quite familiar to me. In fact, the
translator was known to me personally.
| was somewhat astonished. 1 said as
much. The publisher laughed. The
translator is a, well known society wom-
an. An estimable woman too. But
happen to know that she could not read
French. l know she cannot read any OF
the languages. also know that, while
she is bright talker, a really charming
woman, she could not write 100 words of
her own language correctly. Who did
the translation? | asked. My informant
took me to dingy place in his establish
ment. in the garrett, and pointed out
half starved looking creature whose hair
was pushed up against his head until 1t
looked like a summers cloud. He was
doing the work. he was getting twelve
dollars a week for the work which was
to appear as coming from another, who
is to be paid handsomely for the decep-
ton. And she does not need the money

An Inhuman Mother.

On Monday evening, as the west-bound
depot, two colored women were observed
struggling with all their might, the one
trying to prevent the other from board-
ing the train. In this effort there was
success, and they were both left stand
ing on the platform when the last coach
disappeared. The younger OF the two,
who was almost entirely relieved of her
clothing in the encounter, proved to be
the daughter of the other, and it seems
was endeavoring to quit the town, leav>
ing her child of about two months on
the hands of her mother
Later they were seen to leave the de-
pot together and no further trouble was
apprehended. On Tuesday morning a
child, answering the description of the
nnappreciated pickaninny above re-
ferred to, was discovered in the base
snept Of the depot, hidden away behind
the furnace. in state of nudity and
partially covered with mud and cinders.
The little chap, however, did not pro
pose 10 Ue HurTlcu OuI VI INC WIN, eiAu
when found was still living and doing
well. Tie mother was shortly appre>
hended and upon being accused owned
the child and substantially admitted
her guilty intention. Without further
delay she was handed over to the officers
OF the law, who promptly committed
her to Jail. She had previously made
seyeral efforts to give the child away.

Which Shall it Be .

One Of three things must unquestiona-
bly, be done; Clifton Forge must have
more BARRIERS, more men must do their
own shaving, or we must let our beard
grow. Which shall it be? We have no
complaint to make of those who are now
engaged III THO business, they are eff
cient and Industrious; but there is not
enough of them. A business man canot
afford to sit for an hour or more waiting
his turn to he shaved Occasionally he
doesn't mind it. h4t when it gets to be
the rule, forbearance ceases to be sir-
tue. 1t has become 80 difficult to get
shave that merchant is almost obliged
to close his store half the day saturday,
OF go to church OH Sunday unshaven. A
haircut is out of the question. There is
no reasoa why this condition of affairs
should longer continue. Let acme OF our
enterprising citizens provide suitable
room for barber shop. and we will see If
a suitable force can't be gotten to occupy

or for the Valley.

Some of our enterprising and thought
fui young men have been so kind to the
young ladies of the Seminary this week
that they lthe young men) proposed y
to take them over to the Falling Springs
Valley before they should leave for their
various homes The party will leave
town this morning about o'clock and
will spend the greater portion of the
day ia that beautiful valley, where the
foliage at this season of the year is so
lovely. The following compose the party
and probably some others whose names
we did not get: Misses Fannie Smoot,
Flora Bailou, Maude Silcott, Jennie
Gallagher, Blanche Phillips, the Misses
Campbell. Miss Mary Bryant. Messrs.
HI Van Sickler. Alonzo Gooch, Wal
lace Cox, Emmett Roberts, Peyton
Gooch, Davis Moody. Tom Waldrop,
and very likely some others We were
unable to learn the names of chapercns.
but several well known ladies will ac-
company the party in that capacity.
We understand that the plan was first
suggested by those thoughtful boys,
Alonzo Gooch and Harry Van SieiSleF,
and we have no doubt but that this is
the truth, for they have lots OF en-
ergy and push about them, especially
during Comm eilcenea1t times.

4 Valuable Accession,

Our enterprising friend, Capt. ]. G.
Carpenter. is tired living away from
home He has determined to remove his
family from Louisa county to Clifton
Forge as soon as he can perfect his ar
rangem ents to do so. Within the next
few days he will begin the erection OF a
dwelling in West Clifton Forge that will
be credit to our city. He has procured
three lots on the corner of Allegheny and
Fourth streets, adjoining the home of
Geo. K. Anderson, upon which he pro-
poses to build house that will cost him
something over six thousand dollars. He
is liberal and enterprising; always ready
to aid Clifton Forge. We extend to him
and his family a most cordial welcome

Fidelity Rewarded.

J. Lucien Hamilton, of Collierstown,
Rockbridge county, brother of W. c.
Hamilton, of this city. has been re-.
called, recently, to his former position
in the Census Bureau at Washington.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. HamIl-
ton, among hundreds of other ap>
pointees, were put off during the year '91
because of the completion of census
work. During his former engagement
in this department his efficiency and
general department were such as to in
huence two or more promotions, the last
being to the supervision of fifty or more
employees. His reappointment, indie
pendent of any political influences and
without his knowledge, is substantial
evidence of former faithfulness and eff
cheney in the performance of duty.

A $165 Scarf-Pin.

Capt. r. Fl. Davis is now wearing a
min made of wire, snch as is used in
balipg hay, which caused the loss of
property valued at one hundred and
sixty-five dollars. In making post
mortem examination in order to ascer-
tain the cause of the death of one of
his gray horses, noted in cur last issue,
he found, deeply imbeded under the
tongue of the animal, a sharp pointed
piece of wire, IN the shape OF scarf pin,
which had lodged in the hay and had no
doubt been drawn into the horse S
mouth in eating. The pin is in the
shape of the letter T. Lockjaw re-
suited, and while the suffering brute
was alive, all efforts were vain in locat-
ing the cause. Although the wire had
been forced into the flesh to depth of
two inches, there was very little swelling.

An Obstruction.

We are always glad to see any i'm
provement being made in the condition
of our streets and sidewalks; but in the
prosecution of such labor care should
be taken and good Judgment exercised
lest what is intended for help prove a
hindrance. An instance of this kind is
found in the street crossing near the
drug store of w. B. Grove q Co. In
stead of fixing stepping stones, great
ridge is thrown up across the street that
is nothing short of a nuisance to those
who drive vehicles of any kind. To
cross it with buggy is almost as much
of an undertaking as to pail over a tree
fallen into country road. We don't
know whose fault it is nor do we care.
We do hope. though, that some one in
authority will see that the evil is rem
edied and not again repeated.

nished excellent music. Let the religi
GUS people of the town give this Associ-
alton support and encouragement is

until after O'Clock. 1t was close game,
aud some fine plays on either side were
made. But the Town boys, from some
cause or other, probably over confidence,
failed to wear the laurels at the close,
and the whoops and yells OF the Shops
boys and their friends could be heard
above every other noise. The score was
ten to eight in favor of the Shops nine.
