THE REGISTRATION.

The duty of registering for the COM
ing election will soon begin. 1t depends
somewhat upon the passage OF the bill
lately introduced in tho legislature by
Representative Thomas as TO the time
The coming election will be the most
important in the history of Roanoke in
its results. The issues will soon be
clearly defined and so strongly put that
cheap and clap-trap political fodder will
pcrforce be cast aside.
The welfare and development of Roa.
noke will be the issue, and no false or
secondary issue will be allowed to
usurp it's place. The men who arc to
be elected to Office must be men who
will lit the city out of the mud, and
develop it into city and not all over
grown village.
Registration is very important duty
and all citizens should perform that
duty.

Where and Hy Whom the Most Artistic
AYE Made.
Most of the finer fans sold in this
country arc made in Paris and in three
or four suburban villages near by. No
fanmaller knows the whole art All
the workers in one village make sticks,
those of another fold, those in Il third
supply the bows that hold the sticks
together. The making of the upper
sticks is 4 trade by itself. After all
tho parts have been made they are sent

together. \ fanmallcr begins his APP
premiership in childhood The tools
are few and simple. Most of the cary
ing and iligrce work is made with
chiscl or scroll-saw. The pattern,
traced on paper. is pasted on the piece
Of bone, or ivory, or wood, from which
the fan-sticll is to be made, and the
ti!igree IS rapidly cut with Il saw. Tor
toisc-shell sticks arc made by special
workers in shells. That is . difficult,
delicate, and wcil-paid art.
Only few clever artists in Paris have
attained regulations as fan painters,
and many a great master in oils would
not dare risk his name in such work.

Madeline Lemairc occasionally paints

wall decoration. Her prices for such
work are from three thousand to five
THOUSAND dollars.
There is host of comparatively I'M
known artists whose work, excellent in
its way, is seen on fans that cost from
ten to one hundred and fifty dol
lars. Some of them assign assumed
names to their work, and all are the
hacks of the Partisan trade.
The cheaper fans are painted by
who csGle. A long strip of silk or 9TH
cr material is tackled to a board, many
fans arc outlined upon it, and then
half a dozen painters paint the same
subject on each fan, each painter lay
ing particular color on the whole set.

WAS 1T A DUEL 2
OR, WHAT WAS 1T THAT &C.
CURED ON THE
Majestic? - Drayton and Burrows, Sup.
posed to Have Killed Each Other,
Arrive Alive and Well

New York, March 23.-James Coleman
Drayton and Hallet Asloy Burrows have
arrived here sound in body with no evidence
of the sanguinary meeting which was antic-
ipated by the interested public on this side
of the water. The story Of their trouble has
been published for some time. Since
Tuesday there has been q host of
watchers auxiously waiting. There was no
evidence of any excitement aboard when the
party came aboard the steamer Everyone
was greeted by perfect torrent of ques-
tons in regard to the conduct of Drayton
and Burrows during the voyage. The
captain received them with a look of
blank amazement. 81 know nothing
of any trouble between these two gentle
men," he said, 'They have been very
quiet and the best of my passengers
during the trip. l heard nothing about
any duel, either on board the Majestic
or anywhere else. Burrows and Milbank
were discovered later and informed of the
marked attention given their per-
sonal affairs by Americans dur
ing. the. past week, and shown
passed between Burrows and Drayton.
These were received with significant
shakes of the head. Niillbank seemed at
frst to occupy a position of author
ity. ''My lips are sealed" he said.
Il cannot say anything at present. As we
nave not Icdu Tue SlOFlSS LldJ are Hefe pup
hshed. We ought not to speak now" 81
really cannot make any statement at
present." broke in a stockily built man.
This was Burrows, the cause of all
the present gossip and excitement. He
continued: "Now let me go. an not pre-
pared to say anything" In answer TO the
question as TO his reason for taking the
same steamer as Drsyton he said;
''Wel, you can best judge that
for yourselves. Drayton should make his
statement first I think, He began this
trouble. In a matter OF such delicacy he
said I should hesitate to make anything
public without due consideration. -
Burrows said he wouldssstate the case to a
reporter some time this evening.
For two months American colonies of
London and Paris have heard vague
rumors of 4 prospective duel between Sur
row and Drayton, growing out ofIsuspicions
entertained by Drsyton regarding Burrows
friendship with Mrs. Drsyton.

TYLER MAKES IT A HOLIDAY.
Senator Cbilton at Home,

Special to the Gazette.
TYLER, TEX, March 23.-On yesterday it
became known to the citizens of this city
that Senator Horace Chiffon would return
from Austin, arriving here at 9 O'Clock this
morning. To-day at 9 O'Clock every bust
ness house in the city was closed, and when
the morning train with Senator Chiffon and
party on board came the air was rent with
shouts of thousands of his fellow-citiZens
who had assembled to do him honor, leav-
ing their closed houses of business, while
our brass band rendered popular airs.
When Senator Chiffon stepped upon the
platform of the car 4 demonstration, the
like of which was never witnessed in this
city, took place Men, women and chill
dren We'd with each other in wild hurrahs
and hand-clapping.
Mr.. Chiffon mounted an improvised plat
form and many of the assembled multitude
struggled to get within hearing distance,
standing room, even, being at premium.
Mr.. Chiffon thanked his hearers for their
manifestations of love, confidence and es-
TEEN. recounted some of the causes of his
defeat, assuring them, however, that he
entertained no i'll will toward anyone be-
cause of his failure to be elected.
He stated that he expected TO par
coming campaign, and that he was not of
such material that at this iuncture he would
sulk in his tent, but that he would be found
in the very foremost of the coming fray,
battling for his party and his friends. He
referred touchlnglY to the demonstration
accorded him, assuring the people that it
would never be effaced from his memory,
and closed amid a wild hurrah of applause.
Honorables n. w. Finley and John NJ.
Duncan, in response to calls, made happy
and felicitous speeches appropriate to the
occasion.

etized it was at a premium of
81 cents. The same spirit Of ava
rice and greed that struck it down
in England dominated in this country and
silver was murdered in the interest OF
great banking and financial interests Of the
country. Concluding, Mr. Pierce cited , the
speech of Mr. Mills in the last
age, and insisted that the gentleman
from Texas to make his record consistent
must support this bill" good deal OF
applause greeted the closing announcement
Of MIR. Pierce that Democratic advocates OF
free coinage stood ready TO support the
nominee of the Democratic convention at
Chicago whether the platform OF the con-
vention declared for free coinage or not.
Stone of Pennsylvania denounced the
pending bill as being not bill for free coin
age of gold and silver, but bill for the un-
limited issue Of paper money.
1t the conclusion of Stones remarks
Bland asked consent that debate on the
free silver bill be extended till Friday
afternoon at O'Clock: But Simpson of
Kansas objected, because Of the failure OF
friends OF the bill to gmake any
allotment of time to Representatives OF
the Peoples party.
Mr. Warner OF New York, and Mr.. Draw
ley Of South Carolina, Democrats, then
spoke. as did also Mr.. Lynch Of West Nir-
ginia, Mr.. Stout of Michigan and MIR. Fitch
OF New York.
MIR -AcKeighran of Nebraska, one of the
Peoples party representatives, and mem
Der of the coinage committee, said the case
was wlllful prevarication for any claim
that creditors had any right to expect
payment in any except the least
valuable money The cry about a seventy
cent dollar was deliberate attempt to
suborn the public conscience. They forgot
TO mention the true test of excellence and
honesty of n!oneyits working as an instru-
ment for exchange of goods. Free coinage
would wipe out the disparity between the
coin and bullion value of the dollar and the
silver dollar all over the world would be
the same value as the metal in it.
Mr. Bushnell Of Wisconsin spoke in favor
Of the proposed amendment providing that
hereafter the silver dollar contain an ounce
troy of pure silver.
After speech by Mr.. Perkins of Iowa in
opposition TO the bill, the house took re-
cess until 1880
Messrs. Livingston of Georgia, Abbott of
Texas, Townsend of Colorado, White of
Michigan, and Layton of Ohio, spoke in
favor of the bill. Adjourned.

SAN Francisco, CAL, March 23-King
Tenbriuo of Butaritari arrived in this city
last week, and announces his mission in
this country is to secure the protection OF
the United States for the Gilbert islands.
He says he feels that these islands would
be much more prosperous under such pro-
tectorate, and if the government will accept
his proposition and raise the American flag
over the islands he would agree to transfer
to the United States the harbor of the
Island of Butaritari and to keep it in good
condition as coaling station and refuge at
all times. He would also assist in promot-
ing commercial relations between the two
governments. King Tenbrino will return
in few days, but says that he has ar
ranged that his proposition be laid before
the authorities at Washington.
