of course all the swing of the dress
spreads to the front. Her stiffened
skirt will be tapping her heels in the
back and scooping along with snow
plough effect in front. This is no
exaggeration. | have just seen a skirt
worn in this way, and where it was
most conspicuous, of course. To add
to the horror Of it, upon the bodice,
at the point in the back, and just
where the figure should have been
most prominent, was set an upright
bow of the kind that is set on hats.
On a gracefully curved figure it would
emphasize the curve and delicacy of
the waist, but on flat back it merely
added to the general effect of thick
ness and filled up whatever hollow
there may have been. Take lesson
from this. Do not seize upon fashion
merely because it is new, particularly
pronounced one. Just look over
your list of defects first. A woman
should dress according to the lmita-
tions of her defects, rather than with
view only to her good points. The
latter will take care of themselves,
if you arc wise and look out for the
others.
A charming dress of cream colored
Indian crepon is pictured above. 1t
is trimmed with black velvet and
Irish guipure. 1t is designed for the
period of half mourning. There is
delightful air of elegance about it and
its full skirt is eminently graceful. In
such costume the plainest girl would
have a certain amount of style, that
almost unde6nable appearance of
distinction that accompanies hand
some toilet.
TO avoid the sewing together Of
breadths in making the stylish full
skirts, double width material is being
used with its width for the skirt
length, and hem sewed along the
selvage for the foot Of the skirt. If you

Editors Nocll, of RoXbOro, and Robin

violent attack OF "pOstOttice, an
epidemic which has displayed Il cOnta-
gious form all over the country within
the past few months. They are hardly
expected to recover. Editor Griffin, OF
Marion, is Thought by his friends to have
unmistakabIe symptoms of Il similar
malady. He was in Washington Il few

A Bright Young North Carroll
mans Success in New York.
Newton Enterprise. ]

1t gives us much pleasure to note
the success our friend and classmate
]. w. Osborne is winning at the New
York city bar. He went directly from
the Supreme court in Raleigh with his
North Carolina license in his pocket,
and after a short course in the Col
umbia Law School hung out mis- shingle
in the great city among strangers.
His wonderful ability-we have never
known brighter man-was quickly
recognized even in that metropolis,
crowded as it is with great lawyers.
and soon he had business that neces-
STATED the employment of several
secretaries and clerks. Two years
ago the District Attorney, who picks
out the best talent he can find to COM
pose his corps Of assistants in order to
be able to cope with the great criminal
lawyers, appointed Mr.. Osborne one
of his assistants. He is now conduct
ing the prosecution of DIR. Buchanan
for poisoning his wife, and is display
ing such remarkable ability as a de-
batter and emaminer of witnesses as to
attract the attention Of the whole
country. The New York papers print
his picture and give him the most flat
terng kind of editorial notices. He
is younger brother of Attorney Gen
eral Frank Osborne and an honor to
his native State. We expect to see
him go to the very top of the Nrw
York bar and perhaps of New Yak
politics. He is already one of Tam
many's most popular and effective
campaign orators.

Very Interesting North Carolina
Facts.
Wilmington Messenger ]


Think of tin North Carolina there
are forty-three mountains 5000 feet
and upward. Then there are eighty
two more than 5000 feet and closely
approximate 5000 feet high. There
are innumerable mountains that are
1900 feet high and approximate 1000
feet.
There are over eighty rivers in North
Carolina. Total length between 5000
and 1900 miles. Total water power
3,37o,ooo.
There are fifteen in number of small
lakes, the largest with an area of 100
miles.
There are great number of sounds
and bays. Two are large, Pamlico
being IS miles wide, and Albemarle
60 miles long and from 5 to IS miles
wide.
The forests of North Carolina are
marvellous. In extent, variety and
value they are of great importance.
1t is fact not generally known that
many of the trees and shrubs now
familiar to European ornamental and
economical uses were introduced from
North Carolina. To see how remark
able the variety remember this:
OF 22 species of oaks in the United
States 10 are found in North Carolina
Of s species of pine in The United
States are found in North Carolina,
of 5 species of spruce in the United
States 4 are found in North Carolina

THF CRINOLINB.
1T is NOT SUITED TO ALL
WOMEN.
A Style that Will Detract From Some
Figures While Adding Nothing to
the Beauty and Symmetry of Others.

the Beauty and Symmetry Of Others.
The crinoline was first adopted to
conceal lack Of symmetry in the
lines of the figure below the waist,
and served the purpose we'll. The
woman with a beautiful neck and
handsome arms could safely pass for a
we'll made woman even though she
presented an awkwark fulnesS of out
line elsewhere. But the modern
adaptation of the crinoline is only a
pitfall and a snare to this sort OF
woman and especially to the woman
who stands badly. The woman who
throws her hips forward and fattens
herself in the back where her figure,
to be beautiful, should curve out
gracefully, has reason to grieve at the
coming of crinoline. The new skirt
fits tight over the hips; below this line
that is, from just above the knees, it
swings out. Now if woman is larger
in front than she is anywhere else
especially if she SO carries herself that
the most of her bulk is thrown forward
and trundled ahead Of her, as it were,

According to an exchange the
conundrum, "Why is the wind blind?"
was asked at church social the other
night. One young lady promptly
answered " The wind is 4 breeze; 4
breeze is zephyr; a zephyr is a
yarn; yarn is tale; tale is an at
tachment; an attachment is love, and
love is blind, therefore the wind is
blind" She had three invitations to
supper that same night and four young
men and the minister wanted to walk
home with her after the sociable.

Nothing in Europe Equal to Our New

BoSroN, Mass, May 22.-With for
ward torpedo tubes buried deep in the
sea and the water pushed almost as
high as her forecastle, the armored
cruiser New York steamed across the
line to-day, breaking the world S record
and winning for her builders the
largest premium ever paid in any coun-
try. When twenty knots were pre-
dicted as the speed for the new cruiser
many hoped, but few believed that
her engines would ever be able to
drive such an immense mass of steel
through the water at this rate. When
she crossed the line to-day, how
ever, with a speed of 2l.O9 knots
through the water and some corrections
yet to be added for tide, the enthusiasm
on board was intense. To-day's per-
formance off the Massachusetts, coast

remain in the board longer than his
present term, which ends October next.
The board of directors met to-day
Previous to the session Mr.. Willard,
chairman of the executive board, au-
thorized statement in regard to his
retirement from the craftsmanship as
we'll as from membership in the board.
In this Mr.. Willard says that on March
!, 1898, Immediately after the publica-
ton of the reply of the Northern Paci-
fic board Of directors to the
report of the committee of stock
holders in accordance with
long entertained intention, he adj
dressedc to President Cakes a formal
letter of resignation from the board.
The letter was also accompanied by q
personal letter in which he fully ex-
planned his reasons for the step. The
reasons for the step are in consequence
not given.
President Cakes, in letter of reply,
which was strictly personal, while rec
ognizing the force of Mr.. Wizards rea-
sons for resigning, urged him to with
company urgently needed his as
sistance in funding the floating
debt. Mr.. Willard acceded to this
request with the qualification that
under no circumstances could he serve
longer than the end of October next,
when his present term of three years
will have expired.
1t is understood by Mr. Wizards
friends that he will under no circum-
stances accept a reelection at the an
nual meeting of the stockholders of the
North American Company, but that he
will continue to be largely interested as
a stakeholder, and that he has declared
he will obtain for it, if desired, such
financial aid as it requires
1t was thought that at to-day's meet
ing Mr.. Willard would take decisive
step in the matter and retire from the
board. This step, Mr.. Wizards person
al friends said this morning, would not
be taken by him unless he had suddenly
changed his mind, and that he would
in all probability remain in office until
his term expired.
The Northern Pacific directors ad-
journed until 2 o'clock. 1t is stated that
Henry Wizards resignation was consid-
cred at this mornings session.
