SUGGESTIONS TO A GUEST.

Do not outstay your welcome; do not
even stay as long as you are asked to.
Be thoughtful of your hostess, affection
ate to her children and courteous to her
servants
Do not let the old saying, "The first day
the man is guest, the second a burden
and the third pest" be applied to you.
Try to be unconscious of any friction
which may exist in the household machin-
cry, and by your punctuality do your best
toward keeping it in regular motion.
Endeavor to time your arrival so that it
shall not interfere with your friends meal
hours, and arrange SO that your baggage
shall be delivered without being a care to
them.
Allow your hostess time to attend to her
household duties, observe the hour at
which her husband is likely to return from
business and try to arrange SO that he may
find his wife alone at that time.
When leaving bestow some little gift
upon each Of the servants and send some
thing to the cook. She is generally the
one in the house whose work is most in
creased by the presence of visitors, and she
is usually the one ignored.-Ladies' Home

FASHIONS MIRROR.

Straight collars, cut as high as can be
borne comfortably, are most fashionable
for dresses.
Nothing for youthful women can be
more effective or more fashionable than
the fitted blouse waist of tartan silk that
tones well with the dress skirt
Waistcoats of fur, merely silk lined to
keep them from looking bulky, are in
troduced in cloth dresses, usually when the
fur neckscarf now popular does not cover
the chest.
Following popular English caprice, red
corded silk costumes in ottoman faille and
bengaline are made into fur trimmed
Russian costumes for bridesmaids at
church weddings
Patterned reps appear among the late
importations, the grounds of which are
bottle or reseda green, marine blue, van
dyke brown and magenta, and in spite of
the elaborate corsages now fashionable
material of this class looks better made
simply.
Beautiful capes for dressy wear are
made of dark green corded silk, with i'm
mense empire bretellelike revers spread
ing over the shoulders and back from
few inches below the neck. The capes are
of dark green velvet, edged with roll of
otter, seal or other rich fur.
Silk petticoats for evening wear are, if
possible, more elaborate than ever. One
model is of green and crimson shot silk,
the lower edge alternately frilled with
red and green silk. Narrow ruffles Of rich
black lace fall over these, the upper edges
of both being threaded in and out with
bebe ribbons in the combined colors-

TERMINALS SUIT BEGUN.
The Complaint Served in the Big
Georgia Central Cases
New York World, December Is.

New York World, December Is.
Receiver Walter G. Oakman be-
gan the fight in behalf of the Rich
mond Terminal Company against the
Georgia Central Railroad syndicate
yesterday, by serving a summons and
complaint. The complaint has not
been filed in court. 1t is lengthy,
and contains many charges. The re-
ceiver seeks to compel the defend
ants to return nearly $8,000,O00 paid
to them in October, 1883, for con.
trolling interest in The securities of
the Georgia company.
Charges of fraud, breach of trust
and conspiracy are brought against
such we'll known men as John H.
Inman, James Swan, Robert W. In
man, Bernard S. Clark, Harry B.
Hollins, Fernando A. Yznago, Ber-
nard J. Burke, Walter Luttgen,,
Isaac L. Rice, Emanuel Lehman
Philip Lehman, William Kessler, Ed
ward Kess}er, Gustav E. Kissel, John
G. Calhoun, Simon and Isidor Worm
ser, Jacob Scholle, James and Jesse
Seligman, Charles Blum, Frederick
st. Gour, Alfred S. Heidelbach,
Isaac Ickelheimer, Edward w. Clark,
Harold M. Sill, Patrick Calhoun and
the Central Trust Company Of New
York. In the complaint it is alleged
that the syndicate brought about the
sale of the Georgia Central by mis-
representation. Ex-President In
man particularly is charged with
having used undue influence.
The defendants in the present suit
then were directors In the Richmond
Terminal.
1t is alleged that on Oct. %, 1888,
Emanuel Lehman, one of the syndi-
cate, proposed in the name Of his
colleagues and himself to sell the
entire 10000 shares Of capital stock
of the Georgia Company at $35 a
share. The directors Of the Termi-
nal Company, who also were di-
rectOrs or the georgia company, &C
cepted this proposal. Receiver Oak
man alleges that that the directors
knew that the Georgia Company had
done no business and that the scheme
was to dump the worthless stock on
the Terminal Company.
The purchase was concluded with
the firms of FL. B. Hollis & Co.,
Emanuel Lehman, Augustus Belmont
& Co., Isaach L. Rice, E. W. Clarke
81 Co. and Gustav E. Kissel. Soon
after, it is alleged, the financial ne
cessities of the Georgia Central Rail
road became SO pressing it refused
to loan stipulated sum of $780,
600 to the Terminal unless the notes
given were cashed Immediately.
The notes were cashed by Imam,
Swan & Co., and the affair was con-
Guided June 10, 1889.

Summary of Monetary Laws.

In 1886, the Congress Of the
United States, under the Articles of
Confederation, adopted the silver
dollar as the unit Of money. On the
I'd Of April, 1892, Congress, in the
law establishing a mint, enacted that
"The money of the United States
shall be expressed in dollars Or
units" the dollar ''to be of the value
of the Spanish milled dollar, as the
same is now current" and contain
3714 grains of pure silver. The
same act fixed the weight of pure
gold in the eagle at 247.5 grains, or
24.75 grains of gold to the dollar,
which made fifteen pounds of coined
silver equivalent in all payments Of
one pound of coined gold. In 1884,
the weight of pure gold in the eagle
was reduced to 232 grains, and, as
no change was made in the silver
dollar, the equivalency between gold
and silver became 16.045 of silver to
1 of gold. In 1887, the quantity of
alloy in both the gold and silver
coinage was changed, SO as to make
the coins Of both metals nine tenths
fine. The quantity of pure silver in
the dollar was not changed, but the
quantity Of pure gold in the eagle
was increased to 1922 grains, so
that the equivalency between gold
and silver became 1898 of silver
to 1 of gold. Since 1887 no change
has been authorized in the weight or
purity of metal in either the gold or
silver dollar. It will thus be seen
that in the whole history Of the
United States the weight of pure
silver in the silver dollar has never
been changed, while the weight of
pure gold in the gold dollar has been
CHANGED twice.

day was the bloodiest Christmas ever
chronicled in the annals Of Lexington
history. Three lives paid the penalty of
two frequent indulgence in the flowing
bowl. while two other unfortunates sre-
ceived probably fatal wounds. Richard
Higgins, a negro, backed by a negro
desperate, attacked Riley Owens, a
white painter residing here, and while
reaching for a second rock to throw at
Owens, received bullet through the
brain.
The desperadoes then pursued Owens
with drawn knives, but he escaped into
the country and has not yet been appre-
hended.
Ephraim Taylor died from the effects
of Christmas drink, but all the circum-
stances point to a sensational case Of
poisoning. Taylor, after partaking Of
innumerable drinks of eggnogg and
steaming cups of tom-and-j jerry, &C
cepted a drink from a flask which some
one offered him. Ten minutes later he
was seized with violent pains in the
stomach and died.
At an early hour Monday morning

At o'clock in the afternoon William
Higgins, well known negro man was
found dead. His demise is due to a

RAISED A BIG SUM TO DEFEAT
WATSON.
N. Y. Tribune.

N. Y. Tribune.
AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. 80 SpeciaD -
There has been considerable alarm
felt here over expected arrests, at
the instlgation of Congressman Tom
Watson, of a large number of Demo
Gratis, under the charges Of illegal
voting and interfering with legal
voters in the recent election. 1t is a
fact we'll known here that large sums
of money were raised to secure the
defeat of Watson. The business
men generally made personal ap-
peals to the houses which they dealt
with in the North, especially those in
New York City, for funds with which
to defeat Watson. The argument
used to effect this was that Watson
was the sworn enemy of capital, and
that his defeat was matter of i'm
portance to every investor in the
country. Insurance and railroad
companies responded literally, so
that $4,000 was in hand for use, in
addition to the local funds. Rich
mond county cast nearly 10000
votes, where 5000 has heretofore
been considered a good vote, and of
these less than 700 were for Wat
son. Owing to the fact that Mr..
Cleveland carried the election, the
Democratic managers have been
talking freely of how "the boys did
up Tom Watson" In this way
Watson has become possessed of
much information which will aid him
in making cases against many promi-
nent men. These cases will have to
be tried before Judge Emory Speer,
who is Republican, and who,
during his own Congressional career,
became fully acquainted with the
methods which were used against
Watson.
The vote returned for Richmond
county was: Watson, 1882; Black,
1916. The census gave the county
1914 population. Therefore the
Democrats returned a vote for each
SO of population.

Shooting in Temple, Texas.

BELroN, Dec. 29-Pat Mallory shot
and killed Sam Walker in Temple. He
was arrested, brought here and put in
Jail. Two years ago John Mallory, Pats
brother, was killed there by J. B. Siberia
and Sam Walker, who were arrested
and tried for this killing. On the first
trial both were convicted, but the court
of appeals reversed the case. On the
second trial Walker was acquitted and
Siberia was given twenty years in the

The Next Nebraska Senator.

Beacon-Independent Broken Bow, KanJ
From the manner in which Con-
gresham Bryan's speeches and old
campaign issues of the Lincoln Her
aid containing Bryan thunder come
pouring into this Office, it is evident
that Mr.. Bryan has determined to
enter the race as a Democratic can
didate for United States Senator
this winter. Just where Mr.. Bryan
expects to rustic votes enough to
elect himself to the United. States
Senate is not at this writing made
plain. While Mr.. Bryan's views on
free silver are in advance of those
Of his party, yet he preferred to stick
to his rotten old party hulk in pref
erence to coming to the Populists,
and he is in no position to expect or
urge his claims to Populist support.
The tail should hardly expect to wag
the dog in this Senatorial contest.

NEW YORK, Dec. est is predicted
that before the last of this week the
county Democracy will be no more. For
some time all sorts Of rumors about the
disintegration of the organization has
been heard, but not until lately has it
been discovered that they were based
on fact, so says The SYN, andeGoptinuing
it says:
"The story now is that about
all that is left of the organiza-
ton will go to Tammany. The
primaries are tomorrow, and a well
known local political leader said
that he believed the county Democracy
would never hold another meeting. A
number of Judge Martins friends said
that Charlie Jackson, the chairman Of
the county Democracy for some time,
expressed desire to enter Tammany.
Should Jackson enlist under the banner
of Tammany, he would probably carry
with him most Of the county Democrats.
jackson has not been in close af-
filiation Of late with either Ex-Mayor
William r. Grace or Ex-Police Justice
Maurice j. Power. Neithcr Grace nor
Power is at all likely tobe included in
the movement toward Yammany. Both
believe that between March and May
next, an opposition organization to
Tammany will be well under way. But
it wont be the county democracy"

that life is made up of such vicissi-
tudes, and the duration of it is
measured only by span, we ask the
question, What is man as the en-
bodiment Of life? The poet ex
presses it in two short lines:
This narrow isthmus twixt two bound
less seas,
Tne Past, the Future--two eternities. "
We go further, and ask, What is
the use of mans existence? from
whence does he hail ? and to whittier
is he tending? and what will he be
when he leaves the world? All of
these questions are speculative, and
pass through the mind of every in
telligent being.
When we take in the situation and
understand the duties and response
bilities of life, we conclude the world
stage, its people the actors, death
the closing scene, the grave the open
exit into eternity! Empires rise and
fall nations are born and pass away !;
republics flourish and then decay;
political parties spring up and domi
nate, and are obliterated. Yet the
world keeps moving and the clock
keeps ticking, as Calico said, in the
face of his " fat-earth " opposers, cit
does move ;" for which declaration
they punched out his eyes; but he
continued to say " it does move"
From what is written above it
would seem that the whole world
was a morgue in which dwelt the
earth's dead. But not so. Watch
for the bright side.
The population Of the earth could
be twenty times what it is now, and
it not be as densely peopled as Great
Britain is to-day. The marching or
ders of this terrestrial ball is " move
and live; stand still and die" So
she moves and progresses and IN
creases. Man hears the co nmand,
and obeys. While there is one
Sahara there is many GASES and fer
tile territories-many picturesque
landscapes - many snow capped
mountains-many gorgeous valleys,
and many meandering streams. Each
varying season brings something
to admire. There are many beauti-
full scenes, many harmonious sounds.
The earth brings forth fruit and flow
ers; she gives food and raiment for
man, if he will only bestir himself
and secure it; yea, even the beasts
of the plains are provided for. Christ

A TOP-HEAvY SCHOOL SYSTEM.

The State Superintendent of Ed
ucatlon of South Carolina, Hon. w.
D. Mayfeld, reports that the com
mon school enrolment in that State,
last year, was 206,7O9, and the cost
OF the system, including salaries, was
$485,OO0. The average school term
was three and one-half months.
The common school system is
topped off with two male colleges,
the Citadel, in Charleston, and the
South Carolina College, in Colum-
bia. The first of these has 50 boys,
at cost to the State of 1920 each,
or $4,000 IN all. At the college
there are 60 students, 40 of whom
pay for tuition and the fees, leaving
but "a to be educated at public ex-
pense. Tho cost to the State was
Sal, 800, or $4,729 each.
The question now naturally arises,
Is it better to tax the State for the
complete education of twenty-four
young men, while the average boy
must be content with less than fifteen
weeks per annum of tuition. There
are several frst-rate colleges kept up
in South Carolina by private patron
age and endowment, and the people
are cOgltating whether it would not
be better to add a month to the term
of all common schools, and turn the
college over to the Agricultural Col
lege.
