A CARD FROM SENATOR
VANCE.
He Denies in. General and Particular
the Outrageous Fabrication About
Proposed Duel Between Mr.. Martin
and Col. Means-A Sharp Arraign-
ment of the FabricatOr and of the
Washington Post.
TCharlOtte Observer. |


By last nights mail the O5server
received from Senator Vance the fol-
lowing copy of letter which he has
addressed to the Washington Post,
and is only too glad to print it. His
arraignment of the author of the
miserable libel, and of the Post for
publishing it, without investigation, is
servere but thoroughly we'll deserved !:
EDITORS OF THE POST The story
which you published a day or two since,
concerning the suppression OF a duel
between my step-sOn, J. H. Martin, and
one "COl. Paul b. Means is lie so eN
traordinary. so circumstantial and so
malignant that | feel constrained to
distinguish it from the rank and fetid
crowd OF its con iurers by a denial. The
remarkable feature of the story, and
which stamps the author as genius
most unique and EXCEPTIONAL, Is, that
with Il parrticularity so minute, there Is
not a single ,cord Of truth in 1t. Even the
names of the alleged participants in the
thrilling story are given incorrectly.
left Washington on the 10th OF Nav
with my family, including my step-sOn,
Harry Martin, but | was not i'll and
under the care of a physician. We did
not see Col. Means on the way; he did
not enter the car and insult me about
my opposition to the occupant OF the
Concord pOstOffice. and those who enjoy
the acquaintance OF that gentleman
know that he is incapable of insulting a
sick man and his senior, in the presence
of a knsman who was physically able to
resent it.
! did not return to Washington to sup
press a duel. have been uninterruptedly
living in the quiet OF these woods with
my step-son, Harry Martin, for COM
pany. We have not gone to Washington
or elsewhere. Ny son did not challenge
Means and has not seen him for a year.
He is not an expert with the rapier-
probably never handled one. In short,
the only knowledge either OF Us ever had
OF the alleged incidents was derived from
the story of the Post, which we first read
on yesterday, the 18th inst.
What motive its fabricator could have
had beyond the money you paid him for
it, | know not, and what good reason
the management of a paper aspiring to
respectability could have for swallowing
without inquiry so monstrous and mean
Il lie concerning my son and me. | can
not SIT, With tIc IltttuS vi dottl t'ttHlIlS
the truth were so Immediately at hand
that the slightest effort would have elc-
tied it-or is it habit you have ac-
quired?
| submit, sir, that YOU can not escape
moral turpitude any more than legal
responsibility for such wanton attacks
without such atOnemcnt as may be pos
sible to me and my son, as well as to
that portion of the public which may
not be Indifferent to the truth or regard
less of the decencies of private life.
ZEBULON b. VANCE,
Gombroon. near Black Mountain, y. e.,

given to this correction as was given to

Luxury Of Modern Railway
Travel.

\ recent trip over the Royal Blue Line,
New York to Washington and return,
impressed the writer most strongly as to
the wonderful possibilities regarding
speed and luxury in railway travel in
America. Having been in nearly every
state in the Union and over Il large part
OF Europe we are prepared to feel our
selves acquainted with railway transport
tation thoroughly, and while in no way
failing to recognize the splendid service
furnished the public by the great railway
lines OF America, the writer believes that
he is stating nothing too strongly in say
ing that i'll his Judgment there is not a
service in the world, which taken as a
whole, will compare with the famous
Royal Blue Line, composed of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey, the Phila-
delphia and Beading and Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroads. Not only is the time
made between these points, via this line.
the quickest ever made between New
York and Washington, but with a road
bed that is simply perfect, and an equip
ment so luxurious as to leave nothing to
be desired, it furnishes no doubt the finest
service Of any line in the world.
Every train via the Royal Blue Line
is vestibuled from end to end and con-
sists not only of the most luxurious
parlOr and sleeping cars ever made by
the Pullman Palace Car Company, but
also Of palatial day coaches far superior
to the parlOr cars run on many lines,
with smoking compartments fitted up
with chairs and sofas, the same as in
drawing room cars. Although the SER
vice Is so superior and the time so quick,
on no train are there any extra charges.
10 those who desire accommodation in
the drawing room or sleeping cars only
the regular additional charges are asked,
and on all OF the trains vestibuled day
coaches are run open to the public with
ont any extra charges whatever. The
dining car service attached to the prin-
cipal trains is in keeping with the spen-
did character OF the lines service and
the cuisine equal to the best hotels OF the
country. 1t Is no wonder that the Royal
Blue Line has attained phenomenal pop
ularity, and it has not attained its posi-
ton by any other reason than that it
deserved it. 1t is so incomparablv supe-
rlor to any service ever inaugurated be
tween New York and Washington that
it would be surprising ii the public did
not patronize it so literally: certainly no
one who wants the best should take any
other, and when it is considered that for
the finest service in the world no addi-
tional charges Of any description are re-
quired, it should receive, as it does, the
endorsement aud patronage of the
public. c.-Christidn Leader

THE WORLDS FAIR.
\ Few Points About Chicago
and How to Reach the Great
Western Metropolis.

Ao great many readers of the GOLD
LEAF Will make their first visit to Chicago
and the great Worlds Fair during the
next few months, few pointers rega riding
the geography of the city and how to reach
1t in the shortest possible time over the
best and cheapest route, as we'll as the
most pleasant and picturesque as regards
the excellence of the train service and
beauty of the natural scenery, Will be ap-
preciatPd at this time.
In the first place, fix firmly in your mind
the tact that Lake Michigan forms the
eastern boundary of the entire city, and if
YOU stand facing the lake with both arms
outStretched the left hard will point to
the North Pole and the right hand will
point straight down the tracks OF the Big
Four route to the Worlds Fair buildings
situated at the southern end of the city.
Paste this in your hat and you have the
key to the entire situation. Reaching Chi
cago on trains of the Big Four route, which
is the only railroad having an entrance on
the southern side along the lake front,
| where all the hotels and boarding houses
| are located, YOU will find Yourself passing
practically through the Exposition Grounds
and magnificent panoramic view of the
| faIr Is obtained.
At the Worlds Fair station of the Big
| Four route, if you step off on the right side,
! YOU are at the entrance gate to the Expo
| sition, and can begin "doing' the Fair at
|
Will find yourself in the finest residence
| portion Of Chicago, and right in the midst
of the World ; Fair hotel and boarding
| house district. The chances are ten to one
| YOU Will be within few minutes walk
of the very place you have selected for
| your headquarters.
| If you prefer TO 60 down town ten min
uteS' ride will bring you to the Twelfth
Street station in the heart of the CITY.
Now bear III mind the manifest advantage
of entering Chicago on the Big Four route.
In the first place YOU avoid entirely the
| bother and trouble of a tedious transfer
| across the city, which is necessary via all
other lines. being landed directly at the
| Exposition Grounds. an advantage offered
by no other line, and in the second place
you can so fix the geography of the city in
Your mind that you Will at once become as
| familiar with Chicago as you are with
your own town.
Another point in favor of the Big Four
route Is found in the fact that if You enter
cincinnati on the Queen x Crescent route,
Louisville X Nashville Railroad. Ken
| tucky Central Railway, Chesapeake Il
ONO Railway or Baltimore X Ohio South
western Railroad, connection is made in
MON Depot, avoiding the diSagreeable
transfer necessary via all other lines For

quite plain to the very edge, close
about the slender hips, and free at the
foot with a soft full train. About the
edge | should have another full wreath
of the white poppies all bound together
with the green ribbon.
Now, the little child l should have
in a rose colored pink cambria apron
that was really dress, except for the
white muslin of the dress that showed
at the yoke. The apron should be
only to the knees, and the little fat
arm should be bare. Both would then
make beautiful picture, each setting
off the others beauties.
Here are few valuable rules to
help you out when you are making a
hat. First, you need more courage
than material. Next, if your hat has a
crown, cut it out, cover up the hole, or.
build up a fence of ribbon around it,
set up Japanese screen in front of it,
or erect an arbor of flowers ar round it
If it hasn't crown, then pretend one.
The great idea is to make hat quite
different from what it started out to
be. If you can make lace stand out
stiff, and crumple up thick straw, if
you can tie stiff wood stems of flowers
into bow knots, and make whole hat
of rose petals that have no visible
means of support, in short, if you can
do just exactly the things that seem
the most impossible, you will make
the sweetest hat. The capote pictured
herewith is fail sample for flimsy
airiness of what is to be worn at the
theatre and concerts. 1t is made of

iridescent sequins and has large bow
in jet beads strung on brass wire, and
'' colonel aigrette. The strings are
of maize velvet
If with one hat and the trimming
you can pretend you have sort Of
three decked affair, you will ac-
complish what some of the swellest
milllners seem to have tried very hard
to do. If the brirl is little too wide
in one place and the rest Of the hat
suits you, you may roll the edge back
till it is the right width and fasten it
in place with a buckle. Or you can
split it, and turn the corners back, and
tie them through and through with
narrow ribbon and let dear little
butterfly bow perch away out there on
the very edge of the brim. If you
only display confidence you may do
anything. II you like the looks of a
high crown in front and yet it is in
your way in the back, you may cut the
crown all away except standing
sham wall of it LETT in front. If part
of your wreath is in your way on top
of the hat, make hole in the hat and
push what you don't want underneath
If you have more of a bow under the
brlm of your hat than you think is just
right, split place in the brim and
pull part of the bow through to the
top. Whatever you do, do it bravely.
The idea is never to change your
mind. If the bow you want in
place looks queer, make use Of the
queerness and get an effect. II
place on the hat looks bare and you
can't seem to continue the scheme of
your trimming to get to the bare place,
don't try, but put brand new and
unattached idea over there. A pink
rosebud standing up alone on the
edge will be particularly effective if it
IS the only pink rose in sight anywhere.
Such seem to be the rules of the pres
ent milliners. EsTELLE.
New York, June 19, 1898.
