 of the Grand Army.

The NorOtOn Home Now Under the Care
 of the Grand Army.
 The headquarters of the state soldiers hospital board has been removed to Bridgeport, and hereafter all business of the soldiers home at Noroton will be transacted through Judge Alfred B. Beers, chairman of the executive com mittee of the board, except the pay ment of bills, which will be made by General l.. A. Dickinson, who has been appointed treasurer, succeeding the late General F. E. Camp. The board is com posed of the governor, adjutant-general, surgeon-general and three Grand Army men. All the books, records and papers will be kept in Bridgeport and all ad- missions to the home at Noroton will be made by Judge Beers. These changes have been made since the death of the late Colonel George M. White. Until then the adjutant-general was chairman of the executive committee, Colonel White acting for him. Since the board was first established, all the business has been transacted through the adiutant- generals office at the capitol. By the present change the home comes directly under the care of the Grand Army, Judge Beers being one of the members of that body.

A recent Washington dispatch says;
The peoples party of the house of repre-
sentalives is in fact political organiza-
ton and is united as to the party meas
ures which it is to press upon the two
houses of the Fifty second congress. In
the caucus which met before the organi-
zation of the house and nominated Rep
resentative Watson of Georgia as can
didate of the peoples party for speaker
of the house, it was decided to preserve
their political autonomy on all questions
to the end of the session. Within
the past few days various reports
Of an alleged division in the ranks of the

these rumors have been inspired by the

Sullivan as a Dead Beat.

The conductor of the Santa Fe train
on which John l.. Sullivan and his
company made the trip last week from
Wichita. Kas., to Topeka, tells how
the slugger beat his way and his COM
pany's from Newton to their destina-
ton. At Newton new conductor as
usual took charge of the train. When
he demanded Sullivan's fare the big
one told him the other conductor had
taken up the tickets, which were good
from Wichita to Topeka. The con-
ductor wired back to Newton to know
if that was the fact and received re-
ply that it was not, that the tickets
were only good to Newton. The con-
ductor again demanded fares from
Sullivan, who in his characteristic,
forceful and striking language de-
clined to pay. The conductor wired
headqual ters for instructions, and in
reply received orders to eject the whole
party from the train. The crew,
however, declined to asst and the
conductor did not care to undertake
the task alone.

Attempt y EEurder Temperance
Men in Iowa.

One of the boldest attempts Mt cold
blooded murder occurred at Ottumwa,
Iowa. Robert Yates and John Erick-
son were the victims, and Charles
Cody and Dick Gallagher their assail-
ants, the latter now IN Jail awaiting
trial. Yates and Erickson are men,
bers of the Ottumwa temperance
council, having signed the pledge
recently. aud their otiense was that
they were witnesses against several
saloon keepers in very important cases
pending, and it was very desirable
that they be put out of the way. They
had just emerged from saloon on
Main street where they had casually
dropped in, when they were overtaken
by Cody and Gallagher, who struck
them on the head with an iron pin,
rendering them senseless. They
pounded Yates until they thought he
was dead and then dragged him to a
railroad track, where they left him to
be run over by a passenger train.
Erickson meanwhile recovered con-
sciousness and reported the affair to
officers; and Yates, returning to con-
sciousness, dragged himself to his
home near by, where he was found in
dying condition. Gallagher, the
officers say, will turn States evidence,

The Pope of Rome.

The Petit journal of France Thurs
day morning publishes an interview
which one of its correspondents has
had with the pope. In course of the
interview, his holiness declared that
he considered the republic quite a
legitimate form of government. The
church, he said, would place itself in
accord with the French republic, as it
had done in the United States. The
pope expressed himself as confident
that France would regain her glorious
place among the nations of the world,
if she persevered in her pacific sem
timents and renounced internal dis
sensions.

THE soUTH'S DEVELOPMENT,
A Good Showing for the Week.

The Manufacturers Record, of Bal
timore, in its issue of February 13,
says:
'"While there is no marked increase
in the organization of new industrial
enterprises throughout the south, there
is steady, solid advance, and also a
growing confidence with the leading
capitalists of the country that the
south is the best field in America for
investment. Many plans of great
magnitude are being worked out, and
with return of activity in investment
and business interests in the country
at large the south will again become
the center Of development, and future
operations will probably be on a
larger scale and by heavier capitalists
than anything the south has seen yet.
Among the more important undertake
ings reported during the week are the
very extensive iron and steel making
and town building operations to be
commenced by Mr.. Alex A. Arthur,
the founder of Midtllesborough, in
connection with some of the foremost
iron makers and largest capitalists Of

these combined enterprises, will prob
ably draw not less than $10,OO0,O 900

New and Attractive .tresses For Street
Wear.
If very light gray was the fashion
last spring, dark gray is the fashion
now. II the gray is so dark and SO blue
in tint that it seems almost like steel
color, SO much the more fashionable
does it become. Fancy yourself dressed
in a gown like this: A long plain
habit skirt Of dark gray, brocaded in
steel color, set so closely about your
figure that you are walking as if a
portierre were drawn about you. The
back of the skirt is very full and is
trained just sufficiently to sweep
slightly upon the ground The skirt is
lined with silk and rustles as you walk.
For waist you have a long-tailed,
coat-like bodice of the same. brocaded
with a jabot effect upon the lapels
The vest is dark gary velvet of the
color of the groundwork of the coat,
and there is tall standing collar with
q steel clasp upon it Steel buttons are
used upon the front Of the vest
Your hat is very dark felt with a
putting of black velvet around it and
black velvet strings. Gray bows and
gray dove wings are. used for trim.
mings. Gray gloves, stitched with
black, are worn also.
Is not that pretty gown, and is II
not becoming to you, no matter what
your style may be?
Perhaps you may not care for the
brocade. Many ladies do not, especially
If they are inclined to stoutness In
that case you will get plain. gray cloth,
and trim the cuffs, collar and lapels
with steel passementerie, allowing a
band or two of the same around the
foot of the skirt.
Such garments as these are compile &c
in themselves and dosnot require the
long fashionable feather boa, and, In
deed, such dress looks better without
one. The boa is worn only for orna-
ment, and it hangs down in long,
useless way, which, though pretty, be-
coming and graceful is not serviceable
when warmth is considered. There
fore, one should consider the complete
ness of ones toilet before adding the
feather ornament and should decide
whether or not the gown is more FASH
ionable in effect without it.
The plain. tailor-made gowns, tig hit
fitting at the waist without ruffies or
aounces upon the bodice, and un-
trimmed save by passementerie, galoon
or braiding, are the ones which call for
the boa. which has then remarkably
pretty effect drawn about. the neck
and hanging down the front, giving the
appearance Of feather-trimmed gown.
