TRAINS RUNNING ON TIME.

The Roanoke and Southern Getting Down
to Business.
The Roanoke and Southern, since it's
opening, has done good business in

The freight received here consists
chiefly of tobacco shipped from Winston

through viii III the road runs.
The road has not yet been sufficiently
ballasted to run passenger trains, but
will be as soon as possible. The

continues good the wire will be con-
nected in few days with the other end,
which is already in operation to Wins
ton.

road since the opening day and the
trains now come in ON time.

CORItE ESPONDENTS:

don't know her. 10, 1t rests on one shoulder and swings carelessly down over the other arm, the long ends falling to the floor. Her hat is poke of golden brown velvet, trimmed high with prin- cess tips, which just touch the hair in the back. Her shoes are patent leather with tan tops; her gloves are tan suede.
 If she will not answer for the desired model there's another good example of the stylish society girl. She is very petite. She wears black silk bell, very long indeed for street purposes, with a Russian blouse having black silk yoke studded with nail heads. The blouse is girdled by band of jet, the fringed ends of which fall low in front. Her hat is big lace affair, with wide bows arranged in decided Alsatian. Her gloves are light pearl, long wristed, and she uses the lorgnette on every possible occasion. In looking around at fashion able gathering the women seem all sleeves. One does not hesitate to believe madame, who says: ''I choose the style of sleeves and then build on it, for the sleeve this fall is quite the principal part of costume. Brooklyn Eagle.

Perfurned Breaths.

This is the time of perfumed breaths. A woman expends many a dollar on lit- tie capsules that the willy druggist has been at great pains to concoct, and she ever after breathes upoE you a compost tion of delicate odors that makes one conjure up all the good things to smell and eat that we have ever known. It IS most dainty fad, whichever way you look at it, and one that cannot have one word said against it.
 Perhaps if they would just spend lit- tie more time on teeth and throat, sug- gests q woman, they would not need so many perfumery things to make them sweet; but that is neither here nor there
 We beg that the heavy odors of musk and patchouli be left out of the cate gory, or else that the devotees of such stifing perfumes take pity on poor hu- manity and religiously avoid crowded theaters or of more closely packed street cars, where one grows positively faint by an overwhelming scent that drives every other thought or surrounding from the mind.

women at the Front in Chicago.


 The women of Chicago have taste for cooperation which has made them the most successful and noticeable women in the world, considered from commercial, political and benevolent points of view. They are forever sur prising their city with something new, Now they turn out and personally clean the streets; now they get on the board of education; now they establish public baths for the unwashed; now start free kindergartens for the pOor now they build summer houses for the little chil- dreu of the tenements and the slums; now put women physicians in the hos pitals, the insane asylums and the police stations; now build hospitals, secure women factory inspectors, investigate the schools or make appeals for votes in educational matters.
 And whatever they do seems to suc- ceed. They have almost no abortive at- tempts. They have even been known to put artistic ventures on their feet and sustain them-one of the most difficult things imaginable in the west. Their latest experiment has been to start a CO., operative baking company. It is the chief law of the company that no one but women shall touch the loaves from the time they arc dough till they are de- liyered into the hands of the purchasers. Women will make the bread, solicit for trade, attend the counter ana ugllver in the five fine wagons purchased for the purpose. All of the stock is held by womeU.-Omaha World Herald

WOMAN'S WORLD.
WHAT KATE FIELD THINKS ABOUT
 GIRLS IN PARAOES.

The Home ia Poiltics-w Women at the
 Front in ChicagO-Miss Imogene How
 ard-The Fad to Be Picturesque-In-
 teresting Items About Woman.
 What deplored in New York's school parade was the absence of girls. You'd have thought that girls did not exist, or, if existing, were no factor in the future of this republic. l didn't like this ig noring of my sex, and when some one argued that girls could not endure the fatigue of marching five miles l replied that girls who were unequal to five mile walk were physically unable to breathe the bad air of public schools and to endure the strain of recitations ten months in the year. Girls who can skip rope and dance all night can walk few hours if they choose. The Indian girls from Carlisle had no trouble in march ing.
 Well, Brooklyn agreed with me last week when 5000 boys and girls covered themselves and their town with glory. As in New York, it was first decided to leave out the girls. Girls cant march a little bit," said the boys, forgetting that all the marching on the stage now adays is by women, who drill much bet ter than the same class of men.
 Indignant at the criticism of their brothers, the Brooklyn girls vowed they would not be left out of the parade. They studied military tactics, drilled constantly. and those who saw them march on Oct. 20 declare that the boys were mot in it." With white skirts, blue bodices and red mortar boards these plucky maidens held their lines well, kept step, wheeled when opposite the reviewing stand, lowered their flags in salute and marched on as the populace cried Good! good" All these girls belonged to Catholic schools. l blush to think that there is less patriotic en- thusiasm among the girls of our public schools than those of the Catholic church.

The Home in Politics.

General Clarkson, president of the League of Republican Clubs, in a speech before the Republican league convention at Buffalo, among other things said:
 "In transferring our politics from he- roic or sentimental to economic issues there is left to be made by each party campaign of education and recruitment for every business in the state, and every class of workingmen and laborers, all economic issues touching every home either to increase it's comforts or de- crease them. Thus it is true today that the father has come to be the trustee of the vote of his family. The woman has appeared in American politics, and the home has become the unit of American politics. Conservative people may scoff at it, old fashioned men may deride it, but the power of the home is going to be more and more potential in American affairs. Very soon there will arise some great woman, or association of women, who will organize in this great republic a political league that will become speedily one of the first class powers iG political America"
 General Clarl.scn notes the signs of the times truly. The Democratic Infu- encc clubs, the Woman's Republican Association of the United States, the women in the Peoples party, and in the Prohibition party, tho full suffrage of women in Wyoming, municipal suffrage for women in Kansas, school suffrage in twenty-two states, all indicate the com ing of women into politics--not to or ganiZc q new party, but to be eagerly sough. by one of the ruling parties which is sagacious enough to see the value of adding such a power to itself.
 Samuel T.. Sswcll used Jo say: "WOm- an suffrage may come at any moment. A very little thing will bring it. The air is full of it-ail it needs is the match 10 set it off" But when that time comes it will not be as General Clarkson says it is now, that "the father is the trustee of the family vote" Each woman will have her vote as each man has his, and this will be in accordance with the great principle of 'the consent of the gov erned.

 Miss Howard first attended the Wells Grammar school in Boston, was gradu- ated from there at fourteen; then be- came pupil at the Normal school.
