These are the fgnres. They cannot be dis
puted, for they are the prices quoted over the
counters of one of Hartford's largest stores.
Every lady who has bought such goods knows
that these figures are correct and that she is
paying to-day for her dress materials consid-
erably more money for the same kinds of
goods than she paid before the Mckinley bill
raised the prices,
And this increase also extends to velvets,
which are SO widely used for trimmings, alike
for dress goods and for hats and bonnets.
The duties were largely advanced on all these
goods. On cotton veIvetS the duty was for
merly 40 per cent. ad valorem; now it is IA
cents per square yard and 20 per cent. al va
loren. This is an increase on all cotton vel
vets; in fact, the new law especially provides
that in no case shall cotton velvets pay less
than the old rate OF 40 per cent. The old rate
of duty on silk velyetS was 80 per cent. ad
valorem. The new law increases this. If the
velvet contains less than three-quarters silk,
the duty is S1.5O per pound and Is per cent. adj
valorem. If more than three quarters silk,
the duty is $1.50 per pound and Is per cent. ad
valOrem.
The retail purchasers pocket-book, of
course, is very materially affected by this
higher duty.
Here are the figures of two years ago and
the present figures, as quoted over the coun-
fer

AS we expected, the Governor has deter
mined not to call an extra session of the
legislature this winter. In an interview
with reporter in Roanoke few days since,
he expressed the belief that there were at
present no public matters of such pressing
need as would justify the expense of
an extra session. Without the
Governors consent there can be no
extra session Of the legislature till
1893, except by the signature of two-thirds
of the present members of the General

Talton Hall, Kentucky's notorious des-
perado and vendetta leader, will be hanged
at Wise Court House to-day, thus ending
a career of crime that has few e1uals in
this country. He has figured as the hero
in more than a dozen tragedies, claiming
himself to have killed ninety-niiie people.
But the last crime, for which lie hangs to-
day, was the murder of Liston in Wise Co..
Va. Since his conviction numerous efforts
to rescue him have teen ATTEMPT
ed, but the authorities took every precau-
tien to guard their prisoner. One hundred
armed men surrounded the Jail with in
structions to shoot Hall down if an attempt
to rescue was made. His admirers made
every effort to induce the Governor to
commute the sentence to Imprisonment for
aife, and petition said to be singed by over
1900 people living in that section was pre-
scented, but the Governor declined to inter
fere with the sentence of the court and on
Wednesday night wired his attorney to that
effect.

THE DISTRICT FAIR.

The Baldwin District Fair for 1892 is
over, the results financially may not prove
as satisfactory to the Association as we
could wish, but the effort to secure sue
cess and the character of the exhibition en-
title those connected with the fair to the
sympathy of the community. The depart
ments, with the exception of farm products
and the season was too early for a full
exhibit in that line-presented very cred
liable display-while the horse show was
the best we have noted in years. The cat
tie stalls were filled with choice specimens
of many breeds, and the general opinion ex-
pressed in reference to the sheep and swine
was that it was the finest yet presented.
An expert in poultry spoke inhighest terms
of the quality Of the poultry exhibit. In
the ladies department the exhibits were
fully up to the standard, except in canned
fruits and preserves. which were not so
plentiful, but this is easily explained, when
it is remembered they were to be OF this
year s crop and the season had not been ia
vorable to such work. In general terms
and considering all the circumstances the
fair was more of a success than we had
hoped for. The generous showers which
were welcomed by grateful agricultural
COMMUNICATIVE blessings to the farm
er, unquestionably shortened the gate re-
ceipts Of the association, but the sympathy
of our people should abide with an institu-
ton whose purpose is to stimulate agricul-
ture and at the same time afford the people
a recreation which is both useful and in
structive The fair was better advertised
possibly than usual, the attractions more
numerous, and the whole exhibition was
signally free from fakirs and other immor-
al seductions, Racing entries gave prom
Use of fine entertainment, but muddy
track was not conducive to speed.
The Secretary, Mr.. Pratt, was indefa til
gable in his efforts and was ably seconded
by such business men as Messrs. Miller,
Crowle, Todd. Crowder, Bumgardner,
Sproul and others who at personal sacrifice
and without compensation devoted their
entire time to the service of the public and
deserve as they will receive the endorse
ment of the entire community.

hundred Wheeling people will make the
trip. The Tariff Students alone Will
have over one hundred uniformed men
in line, and the Young Mems Club and
the Kenna Club more than another hum
dred. The Students will take along the
full Opera House band of twenty pieces,
and there will be no doubt but that the
Wheeling contingent will create some
thing like sensation in Pittsburg. BY
the way, there are still few Tariff Stu
dents uniforms at Beuter's, and they car
be obtained this morning by members oil

At quarter Of two o'clock this att

very fine affair. Those Of the Banner
Committee who have not reported, are
requested to do so this morning, to Mrs.

The LIST of voters Growing.

To-day is the last day upon which vo-
ters can scrutinize the list Of voters in
the position of the Assessors, and secure
the listing of their names, and there
will probably be big jam Of people at
the Court House In consequence, and es-
pecially will this be the case this even
ing. The list of voters has been greatly
extended during the week, and now
numbers about 1900 names, or
about /, 400 more than the heaviest vote
heretofore cast in the county. 1t is
thought that q considerable number of
the names now Oh the list are not
legally entitled to vote, and estimates
Of this class run as high as 400 or 500. /.
On the other hand, there are, perhaps,
100 or 200 more entitled to vote in the
county, whose names are not on the
list, and will not be on unless the mat
ter is attended to to-day. Voters not
listed can vote, If legally entitled to do
so, but it will be some trouble to do so.
