FASHION DEGREES.

SOME of the newest hats seem to be

q fiat crown. A couple of feathers and
prince-of-Wales cluster.
VERY deliberately embroidered velvet
or very rich brocaded velvet is used for
the collars, cuffs, vests and bolero-

costumes.
A THREE-QUARTER-LENGrH jacket Of
rough plaid, with wide belt and loose
hood, is among the latest importations.
1t is designed for travelling, riding or
evening outings. The sleeves are very
loose at the tops, which is a necessity,
considering the present style Of dress

A ROSE ruching Of picked-out silk in
contrasting color is seen at the hem of
some of the fashionable dresses. A
ruching Of this sort made of velvet and

on srecent Paris order. The velvet was
turned in at the edge and blind-stitched
down to the silk, which was pinked
and plated very full.

Residents OF that quiet retreat believe
that the poem was originally written
there, and they point to an old chest

George Talburtt, the final revision was

In the year 1912, upon the recon-

other friends, he was appointed by
President Tyler as consul to Tunis,

President Polk, and was reappointed
to the same consulate by President
Zachary Taylor, in 1851, upon the ur-

removal to their present home. The
cost of their transfer, the erection OF

1t seems but yesterday that the fu-
neral procession and ceremonies were
held President Arthur and all of the
members of his cabinet; military and
civic societies; eminent and distin-

ton, but of cities and towns all along
the Atlantic coast, united in this tardy
effort to honor the memory of a man
as good as lie was great. The hillside

ceremonies concluded with the singing

The life of John Howard Payne was
a homeless life. While friends were
almost numberless, and appreciation
of his genius was manifested during
his lifetime as it seldom is done until
after the lamp of life has gone out; yet
he was wanderer by choice, and well
calculated by his environments tc
write the lines which are sung in every
home and are doubly dear to all who
absent themselves from loved ones.
His early education was undertaken
by his father, who was professional
elOcutionist. He developed talent
for journalism at an early age, and
conducted paper called the Thespian
Mirror. The ability displayed in this
venture attracted the attention of a
wealthy gentleman in New York, who,
at his own expense, sent him to Union
college. But the boy entertained a
love for the stage, and after two terms
at college, when only eighteen years Of
age, he appeared at the old Park thea.

the character of Young Norval. Hav-
ing been trained in defamation and

surprising that his first efforts were
successful and evoked remarkable en-.
comiums from the critics of that time.
His services were Immediately in de,
mand, and he travelled with various
companies in this country for four
years and then went to London, where
he was greeted as the American Ros-
cius. But the war of 1912 occurred,
and Americans were not then popular
in England; so young Payne closed his
histrionic career in the part of Young
Norval, in which he made his first ap-
pearance upon the stage.

as an author needs neither commenda.
ton nor criticism. He devoted his time
and talents to dramatic writing, and at
least two of his productions will live
forever as masterpieces, namely,
"Brutus" and Charles H., one of them
a tragedy, the other a comedy. That
he was a handwriting man is evi.

sixty-three plays, seven of them being

Republicans at Last Succeed in E1ecting
Their Governor - An Old-time Ma
jority.
Boston, MASS, Nov. lizard times
and the tariff scare have thrown Massa-
chusetts back into the Republican coll
umn, whence she had wandered for
three years to follow the fortunes of
William d. RUSSELL Frederick T.
Greenhalge, the Republican candidate
for governor, is elected over ex-Con-
gresham John e. Russell, by probably
$4,000 votes, an old-time majority. The
thousands Of Republicans, who have
hitherto helped the Democracy to elect
its brilliant young governor, this year
voted the straight party ticket, and the
sweep was resistless.
Boston, with one precinct missing,
gives. Russell 38,752 and Greenhalge
29,005, Democratic plurality of 9,747.
In the 1923 towns of the State Green
halge will have sufficient plurality to
wipe out the Democratic plurality in
Boston, with $4,000 votes to spare. In
1891 Governor Russell carried the 80
cities outside of Boston by 5000, but
Greenhalge will carry them strongly.
The Republicans are greatly surprised
by the tremendous plurality rolled up
for Greenhalge. Democratic candidate
John E. Russell was looked upon as a
popular star of Governor Russell. He
opened his campaign by boldly declar-
ing himself free trader. He expected
to get the farmer vote and the full
Democratic vote in the cities and manu-
featuring centres, and he failed in both.
Two hundred and twenty-five of the
351 cities and towns give this vote /:
Banks, Pro-, 1896; Greenhalge, r.,
1874, ,022; Russell, d., 104 1857; Republican
plurality, 1885. The same cities and
towns in 1891 gave Allen, r., 99,O31;
w. e. Russell, D., 105,905; Democratic
plurality, 6,S8S. The net Republican
gain is 26,243.
The same ratio maintained through
out the State will give Greenhalge at
least 25,O00and perhaps 10000 plurality.

BETTER BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Wilmington Will Feel the
Good Effects Of
THE REPEAL OF THE SILVER LAW
Work at the Pullman Shops
and Elsewhere.


The prospects for a Frightening up in
business circles is regarded as very
favorable in certain directions and soml
have expressed the belief that it will bi
only question of time when there will
be noticeable change in the business
of this city. Those who have declared
all along that good effects would follow
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
act have begun to sec the fulfllment ol
their prophecy in sight, and the asser
ton made that the favorable conditions
following the annulment of this OBJ
noxious law are but the beginning of
brighter and more prosperous era frod
business standpoint.
In speaking of the present condition
and the probable outlook for the fulun
in business circles. General Foreman
John Bulge of the Pullman Palace Cal
Company Monday stated that for
period in which the cry of hard time
is heard, the business of the Pullmat
company, was very favorable. He saii
that workmen had been employed dur
ing the past week and since that time
and there were now 800 men on TIL
pay-rolls of the company. He regarded
this condition of affairs as very en-
couraging for a period of general dul
ness in trade, and from all appearance
he was of the opinion that there was
probability that the business would bI
still brighter before long. AS the shop
located in this city are mostly the I'd
pair shops of the vast Pullman com
pany, their extensive works being
Pullman City, suburb Of Chicago,
is regarded as quite favorable that Their
is such large force finding employment
here. The cars which were used in tn
traffic during the Worlds Fair are beinl
rapidly brought to this city to be storel
away. No work upon these cars will b
done for the present, the attention d
the 300 employees being directed to th
cars which are needed in the every dal
travel. Some cars are built by the Viii
mington shops, but ii is a very small
percentage as compared with the amour
of repairs to the cars in use by the com
pany.
A property owner is authority for thu
statement that out of dozen tenants il
this city not single one of them

made in public place only few dayl
ago and was not questioned by thi

cussing the present business conditions

of the Democratic leaders in Cook
county concede that the Republican
wave has struck Chicago and left nearly
the whole of their ticket under the
water.
A sufficient number of precincts have
been heard from to practically remove
doubt as to the election of Judge Joseph
e. Gary to the superior court bench. In
strongly Democratic wards he ran only
little behind the opposition ticket, and
in the Republican wards he went far
ahead of his ticket.
Of the other nine Republican candi-
dates for the superior and circuit
benches, Henry Kraft, the Socialists
friend, is probably defeated on the same
issue which re-elects Gary, and the Re-
publican campaign managers claim the
rest of the judicial tickets.
Two-thirds of the returns for county
commissioners indicate that the board,
now Democratic, will be divided. About
so per cent Of the vote polled at the last
Presidential election, 240,000, was
brought out, the chief interest centring
in the fight between Governor Altgeld
and Judge Gary.
The Republicans consider that his re-
election must be taken as a reputation
by the electors of Cook county of the
governors pardon of Anarchists Neebe
Fielden and Schwab, and his hostility
to Judge Gary, who presided at the
Anarchists trial.
