New and Important Factor.

A new and important factor in North
Carolina politics will he the Progrss-
sire Farmer, President Polk's paper.
1t has been the official organ Of the
State Alliance since the organisation
of that body. In this relation and un.
der this compact il could not advo cate
partisan politics. President Polk sev-
cred this connection yesterday in let
ter to the Hon. s. B Alexander,
chairman of the Alliance State execu-
tive board. President Polk says that
it will continue, as heretofore, the
Jealous advocate of Alliance princi-
pies and the firm friend of the organi-
zation, but that, having educated the
people as to principles, and the time
having arrived for the practical appli-
cation of these teachings through po-
litical methods, the consistent and logi.
cal course is to stand by the people
clear through to the ballot-box. This
action of this influential paper will
doubtless give great impetus to the
movement in that State and disarrange
possibly, some political plans.

Langston for Temporary Chairman.
By TELEGRAPH to the State Chronicle.
RICHMOND, Va, June "a spe-
cial to the Times from Minneapolis
says: The executive or sub-commit-
tee of the National convention which
is controlled by Clarkson and Fassett,
opponents of Harrison, have decided to
recommend Langston. the colord ex-con
gresham from Virginia, as temporary
chairman. This means a distinctive
declaration of aggressive war against
Harrison as Langtson has been ex-
tremely violent in antagonising th'
president. The naming of Langstol
will provoke not only the indignation
of the presidents friends but vii
; arouse the feeling of the color line
and hot fight is anticipated.

GREAT PEOPLE.

Who Are Wonderfully Disap-
pointinS on a Closer Acquaint-
unce.
No matter how sensible we are on
most subjects, every one Of us is more
or less prone to attrib ute to personageS
of rank and distinction certain char
acteristcs Of personal greatness that,
as rule, are missing when once we
come in contact with the distinguished
man or woman who has been our IDEAL
for many years.
A princess, owing tOsher rank, would
seem to us to be person endowed WIN
all beauty Of person and with II manner
winning and altogether at variance with
the demeanor Of the common hero, put
when we are introduced to fat, red
faced creature of forty-five, whose
breath is redolent of sundry libations,
and are conscious that we are bowling
low over the freckled hand OF
one of the bluest-blooded women i'll all
Europe, the goIden-hared princess OF
the fairy tale melts away in q misty
memory, and the substantial reality hts
into the niche where so long royalty has
been enshrined.
Two authoresseS who have become
famous by their books OH absruse top
les are discovered to be, after all, only
very human, everyday women, who
reyel in gossip and the latest style
gowns quite as much as though they
had never taken their position ION the
heights of Himalaya' and preached to
wondering world of esotericp infu-
enceS and theosophical rerearches.
Queen Victoria is, perhaps, the great
est disappointment Of all distinguished
personages, as she is anything but regal,
either in appearance or bearing. The
debonair Prince OF Wales proves to be
pudgy and uninteresting, and his
daughters are as plain-looking girls as
could be found anywhere. The great
Gladstone haggles over the price OF a
chop, and Princess Beatrice is as eco
nomical.as shopkeeper's wife.
Governors, statesmen and even preSI-
dents prove to be the most everyday
mortals when once you are privileged
to meet them, and i'll order 10 keep up
the halo about all cele brities it is we'll
to avoid personal interviews that are
very apt 10 dispel your illusions.

BABY's SHOES.
A Question That Is More Import
mt ThaD Mothers Generally

A Question That Is More Import
ant Than Mothers Generally
Suppose.
"How shall we shoe the. baby?" is
question which naturally arises as soon
as he puts on stockings, says the Moth
er's Nursery Guide. The plan generally
pursued is to place on the baby's foot a
stiff soled little shoe, probably incorrect
in shape. though of pretty material and
finish. In such shoes he begins his
struggle for footing in life, which he
finally gains, though not as soon as he
would had his clinging little toes been
left to aid him, unhampered by the
bondage of shoe.
A pretty and sensible fashion which
has come up during the past few years
is the use OF moccasins as first shoe.
These are made of cbamois, felt or kid,
bound with bright ribbons or braid and
ornamented with fancy stitches in any
way that taste may suggest. They are
best il made to lace well above the
if cut low. This footgear is warm and
very pretty, and does not cramp the toes
or Interfere with baby's first efforts to
crawl or walk. The only serious objee-
ton to moecasins is the difficulty of
keeping them on the feet of an active
child after he begins to crawl. and this
in time leads the mother to discard
them i'll favor of the shoe, faulty as
it is.
The sole of baby's bare foot is not
unlike a wedge in shape, the broad part
being at the toes, while the shoe meant
for it's use is too often either narrower
at the toes than at the heel, or else of
about equal width. The perfect shoe
has not yet been evolved for either in
fants or adults, notwithstanding adver-
tiSements to the contrary, but there are
degrees even of badness. The ideal
shoe should conform as nearly as pos
sible TO the shape of the foot, and be
neither too loose nor too tight. In par
ticular it should be amply wide across
the great toe joint, and allow the toes
room to spread out, instead of being
pressed tightly together.
Mothers should see that the baby's
shoe is correct in this respect and that
iC is also long enough to extend slightly
beyoed the toes in order to allow free
dom of motion and room for growth.
Having secured these essential points
she can pre- badly do little more toward
attaining the perfect shoe until the
shoemaker has reformed his views re-
garding the shape of baby's foot,

, of course, for sketching purposes-alscc
their hair and eyes; but have not yet
found one with that very black hair-so
black that it has blue or purple lights
in it-you see it so often in Spain.
The pure blonde type is just about
as hard to find. | often want these for
Marguerites of North Country women.
I he Norwegian or Swede is most likely
to be of the real blonde type. But you
seldom find them among the profess
sional models. Now, if only some lady
with beautiful blonde hair or blueblack
locks would pose for head for me l
would be truly grateful"
Here is an opportunity for some
woman to become immortaliZed. Pos
ing for head is not hard work, be-
cause the hands and feet and rest OF
the body may be moved, if only the
head is held still.
Several young women here in society
have occasionally obliged an artist
friend in this way, and their pictures,
not treated as literal likenesses, are
seen every year on the walls OF the
academy.

sEAsoNABLE ADVICE.

Things That Have Been Kept the
Regulation Seven Years Can Be
Thrown Away.
While garbage may have been intelli-
gently disposed of in the home. says
Harper's Bazaar, there are other matters
hat need as much care in winter as in
Iummer. Do not neglect the disinfect-
jngof the bath rooms and closets. Re-
member, cold air can contain poison
germs, especially such mild air as must
be maintained in bath rooms TO keep the
water from freezing. Use a solution Of
ropperaS, chloride of lime, or some of
The more expensive patented diSinfect-
Rnts, il you choose, every week as per-
EisteDtly as you do in summer. 1t will
save illness, perhaps deeper sorrow.
Closets and cupboards are apt to be-
come close and musty during the Win
ter, and give Stutfy smell to all their
contents, which is neither healthful nor
agreeable Ii the doors of closets and
cupboards were opened wide each morn
ing during the airing of the rooms. they
too, would be refreshed and purified.
Few housewives allow discarded
clothing and furnishings to accumulate.
They have learned the wasted labor
that this entails, the vain efforts 10 pre-
vent the moth and dust which corrupt
Them. Many have learned to distribute
The halfWOrn garments among those
that are needy from the prudent mo-
tives of ridding themselves OF work.
Countless other women, happily, did
not wait for the moth to teach them,
but gave freely from loving hearts that
could not bear 10 see garment that
was not fulfilling its natural destiny
But besides the outgrOwn garments,
there are many other things that house
keepers often let clutter up their homes.
There is Il little tinge of sentiment
hanging about the faded scarf or tidy
perhaps the memory Of the hands that
Wrought it. 1t Is too shabby to be seen
with the newer creations Of its kind. 1t
Is tucked away in the drawer. So it is
with the half-soiled ribbons, the worn
lace, the fly-specked paper holder, the
bent photograph frame, the cracked
cologne bottle lacking stopper, the
ieaky vase. They are to be found on
this top shelf, III that cupboard or
drawer, all 10 be handled over year by
year and thrust again into new hiding
place.
Save the few things that are really
keepsakes or have antiquarian value,
the children the bits of ribbon, silk and
lace. They will do brave duty on
Tlolly's clothes. Give discarded orna-
ments and toilet trifles to those that
have none, There are plenty of such
people everywhere who will enjoy
6nery that is passe to you. When
Everything has been given away that
has any use. reSolutely conSign the re-
mainder 10 the rag-bag. the junkman's S
