certain persons that the commission
was simply an effort on the part OF

Luck in Dropping a Collar Button.

Luck in Dropping Collar Button.
From the Home journal.
A lady who had been staying in
Albany was returning to her home in
Philadelphia by way of the Hudson
river and New York. After spend
ing night on the boat, her pocket
book, which contained her ticket aud
all her money, was missing. she
WAS quite sure that ii was In her peck
ct when she went to her state room
ut night; but in the morning the most
minute search of the room and of her
clothing failed To bring 1t to
light. A fellow passenger lent
her sufficient money Tor her
ticket TO Philadelphia, and once at
home the loss of the pocket book
quickly passed from her memory.
Two years afterwsrd, when again In
Albany, she was summoned one day
to the drawing room to speak to an
unknown gentleman who had some-
thing important to communicate 10
her" The something important"
proved to be the old lost pocket book,
which the gentleman had just found
on q Hudson river boat, and which
having in il the Iady's name with an
Albany address-he had no difficulty
in taking to her. The account which
he gave of the discovery was most
amusing. While dressing his collar
button had slipped from his hand
and, with the total depravity charac.
teristic of eollsr-buttons and other In
animate things, had rolled to the
least accessible corner of the state
room. In the course of his search for
it he had opend wide the hslf.closed
door Of the stationary washstsnd and
therein a corner, covered with dust
and mold-wAs the pocket-booky
which must have lain In that exact
position for two whole years.

Women do not, as a rule, attach the

creature that her prettiness bad been
ravished by subtle something, L
could hardly tell what. Certainly
from the crown of her golden brown
head to the tips of her smart slippers
she was greviOus mistake.
Why? Because in selecting the robe
she had lett out In the cold oil her
best points, points which SHOULD
have been consulted before a single
yard of material had been purchased.
This toilet, with it's CLINT and SHIN
mer of gold and scarlet demanded
the figure of Juno and not the fairy

light and floating, poetic drapery,
clinging lines and utter absence OF
fuss and feathers.
The woman suffering from hesh 10
very apt to insist that heracompany
gown shall be of black satin, which,
when she has crowded her ample
proportions within this fabric that
shines like stove polish, and gar
nishes it with diamonds, proclaims
to the world that she is very rich
and very uncomfortable. TO De in
harmony with her clothes the heshy
woman should affect textures that
tall heavily and conceal ungrsceful
curves and lines. Tiny rutfies, bows
and frills are decidedly out of place
upon the figure that to be graceful
must move with rhythmic motion. In
truth, fripperies ought never to be
allowed q chance to steal into the
gowning ola woman who has lost her
willowy charm of figure.

AUSTIN, Nov. 10.-The later returns
from this county give the plurality
for Clark st L. 800, estimated upon the
vote already counted. The Hogg
headquarters here claim the state by

quarters at Fort Worth claim the
state to be very close with chance
for Clark, depending very much on
how the third party stuck by their
ticket. The reports from over 100
cities and counties of the state are
not favorable for Clark; and should
the later returns tally with those
received, the claim OF the Hogg man.

The reports received are from all sec

little hope for Clark in this showing

MURDERER CAPTURED.

About a year ago Fred. Buchanan, of
Chester, killed policeman of that town
in cold blood. He escaped at the time and
recently it was circulated that he had died
in Brazil. The Shelby Rertelo, received this
afternoon. contains this strange piece OF
news: Fred. Buchanan, the bar-keeper of
Chester who killed q policeman at that
place some two years ago; is said TO have
been captured and jailed at Clarksburg,
w. Va, on Monday. The arrest was made
| through the fundamentally OF promi-
nent young businessman Of this place.
| The runor that Buchanan had died in Bra
I'll was evidently circulated TO help him TO
escape.

Road and Dog Laws.

The General Assembly went away with
out passing or attempting to pass eithe
road law ora dog law for the State at
large.
And yet these were two subjects upon
which legislation was expected by many
people. though not by us.
There is no way by which o good road
can be built without money. To raise
money people have to be taxed. To raise
taxes is to raise howl of indignation.
knowing all OF these things the two houses
very wisely refused TO spend their time in
discussing bills which could not be passed,
or IL passed would be repudiated without
fan by the tax-psying voters; but special
acts were granted to such counties as
wished to improve their roads and were
willing TO assume the charge therefor.

The date decided upon for the North

the date suggested by the President of the
State Alliance. who, though not q member

himself on the subject in advance of the

1t may be added that Raleigh and the
committeeman present are very full OF
politics. As far As the views of the COM
mitteemen present were ascertained It may
be said that the majority of those who
have decided presidential preferences are
for Hill. A number were found to be tor

men are enthusiastic. the Cleveland men
rather conservative, and the others good

There was found a disposition to make
every reasonable concession to the Farm

outspoken sentiment in favor OF State

Well Said.

Speaking of the proposition so to
change the Federal Constitution as to
provide that United States senators shall
be elected bv the people instead of by the
State Legislatures. the New York World
forcibly states as an objection to the pres
ent mode Of electing United States sena-
tors that if the members of State Legis-
lature are chosen with reference to the
senatorial election the Legislature may
easily misrepresent the popular will as to
State legislation. aud if the members are
chosen with reference to State legislation
they may easily misrepresent the popula'
will in the election of United State:
senator. Well said. The suggestion is
worthy of consideration.
