MALONE AND LANGSTON

The outlook for the rPDomina-
ton of Hon. John M. LangStOn, for
Congress, in the 4th Congressional
District of Virginia is very gloomy.
1t will be remembered by the read
ers of the BEE that Mr.. LangstOn
formed a combination with Gen.
VIM. Malone which did not meet
the approval of those who had CIV
en- Mr.. LangstOn their support.
Gen. Malone is first class p liii-
cIan and the trap he set for Mr..
LangStOn has about convinced
those who have heretofOte Oppos
ed Malone that the little cOrpo
raj still controls the machine.
1t is reported that LaDgston.
will announce himself an indepeD
dent candidate for Congress wheth
er be receives the regular nomina
tiOn or nor. 1t is very surprising to
the more conservative followers of
LaDgston how be manages to har
monize his speeches against Ma
hone at the time he was opposed
by him and the flatteIing expires
sions that he poured forth at the
Roanoke Convention.
LangstOn can only blame him
self; ii Was not necessary for him
to have formed a combination with
Malone and oppose the admlniStra
ton LangstOn was master of the
situation Col. Brady the collector
OF the port at Petersburg advised
Langston against it, but. no, his
ambition for personal fame and
power to the detriment of his many
thousand constituents are about to
terminate in his defeat.
The BEE is free TO state that
Langstom is more In love with him
self and to advance his own person
al interests than he Is with his
race. The BEE has the highest re
spect for LangstoD, but it is free to
admit that he is an unsafe leader.

FASHION NOTES.

1t A decided fact that skirts are to be
made shorter.
There is a tend ncy to return to the
old fashion of lining them throughout
Princess dresses will be worn as much
as ever.
Runors from across the ocean declare
that this is TO be, d-stinctiVely, SILK
season.
B,ngallne, faille franchise and every
lhing in the way of silk is coming to the
front.
Chevios and homespuns are used for
boys double breasted suits.
Plush vests are pretty adjunct to the
cloth jackets and trousers wO' by boys
The greatest improvement in ladies'
underwta" is the combination suit,
made 0; silk, Isle thread or wool.
The sam. color will preva in gloves
as during the spring and summer.
There is as yet no decided change in
hats. The chmney-pot crown seems 10
catch the popular fancy.
Velv t is to be the favOrite trimming
later in the season, and this may be
found in sll the new shades of red from
dark terra Gotta to the light ''pIoVlns.
The tip-top of elegance is to have the
fall straw hats to match The dress.
A venice cape of black velvet lined
with cherry colored silk. The cape rests

the latest.
Various styles of short Jackets with

QUERY.

Why is it that North Carolina
will go democratic this year? Be-
cause there is not enough uuselflsh
patriotism among republicans to
let it 60 for the republican party.
Rivalry for leadership, and dis
tribution of federal plnnder is tie
stumbling block, the chief spirits
are federal office holders the VIC
tins, the republican party the
commonality.

He Tried to Catch the Cholera but
Couldn't.
HAMBURG. Sept. 80. --Stanhope, the
New York Herald's subject, who was
inoculated with Kaffkines cholera virus,
has completed his mission. He left
quarantine and Eppendorf hospital
Wednesday morning after a most thor
ough cleansing and disinfection and
armed with the following certificate:
Stanhope, who from Sept. 10 to IS served
as voluntary sick nurse in the Neues AL
legemeine Krankenhaus, leaves the insti-
tuition today after his clothes have been
disinfected and he had been subjected to a
three days quarantine. He must be con-
sidered as perfectly healthy.
PROFESSOR DIR. RUMPF.
Stanhope says: II firmly believe Kaff-
kine's theory of inoculations prevented
me taking the cholera. The bacilh he
introduced into my system were too
powerful for all the microbes / swal-
lowed to cope with. But for the inocu-
lations would have been patient in
stead of nurse in Ward Il. In short, l
think have proved what / undertook
to demonstrate, that Kaffkine has dis
covered an unfailing preventive against
cholera"
After leaving the hospital Stanhope
arrived at the Hotel Hamburger. The
director, clerks, porters and all employees
rushed up to him and warmly shook his
hand, and congratulated him upon hay
ing escaped the clutches of death. When
he went to the general postoffice for
mail and mentioned his name, there was
q stampede of all officials to the window
to see him. During the forenoon he
gave sixteen sittings to photographers.

coLoMBIA'S WRATH
Unnecessarily Aroused by One of Uncle
Sans Ships.


PANAMA, Sept. 30.-The steamship
Colombia, Captain Shakford, which
sailed from New York Sept 81, reached
Colon Wednesday morning. The health
officers refused to admit her and ordered
her to leave. despite the fact that she
had no illness on board The Colombia
anchored short distance out, and
Wednesday evening was joined by the
United States man-of-war Concord,
from Venezuela. The Concord, some
what later, communicated with the
shore, but gave no clew to her business
here.
1t ia supposed in Colon that she has
been sent to effect an entrance to the
port for ships from United States ports.
Great indignation is felt there, as well as
here. In case the United States tries to
take advantage of Colombia's weakness
to force trade from infected ports upon
her and break down the quarantine of
Columbian ports, the government will
protest formally and call for protection
on England or BONE other European
power.
