Old Waists Made Nav

Don't throw away old fashioned
waists. If the sleeves are skin tight, split
them on the upper side of the arm from
shoulder to elbow, put in slender V,
giving just enough space for comfort,
then make deep puffs of some contrast
ing material sewed in at the elbows,
turn them up toward the top, thus CON
cealing the seam, then sew them in with
the sleeve or turn in and blind stitch
carefully down, finishing them with a
little puff or ruffie of silk, or fold them
over and make shirred ruffle Of the
edge Of the sleeve and sew them down
to the waist with very fine stitches.

DEPUTY SHERIFF. SHOT.
"A Question of Authority between He and
One OF Baldwin's Detectives

A Question of Authority between He and
One OF Baldwin's Detectives
The news was received in this city
yesterday that Eugene Robinson, a mem
Der of the Baldwin Railroad Detective
Agency, had shot, perhaps fatally,
Thomas Camp bell, deputy sheriff OF
Mcdowell county, w. Va, and formerly
in the employ of Mr.. Baldwin The
particulars are as follows:
Robinson had arrested a West Vir.
GINA negro. for whose capture tn ere
was reward offered, and Campbell,
who also was trying to arrest the negro,
undertook to take charge of the prisoner
by virtue OF his office as deputy sheriff.
Mr.. Robinson refused to give him up
and difficulty ensued in which four
shots were fred, one bullet striking
Campbell in the mouth and one in his
right breast. Robinson was not hit,
but illet went through his coat
sleeve and graZed his arm.
Campbell will be remembered in
Roanoke as the special detective who
worked in the Massie case. He was
unpopular among his associate officers.

DELEGATES ATTENTION {.

Advices from Chairman East state
that O'Ferrall headquarters will be
opened at the Exchange Hotel, Rich
moud, Tuesday night. All O'Ferrall
chairmen of county and city deleg
and all O'Ferrall delegates in delega-
tions not headed by OFerrall chairmen
are requested to report Immediately
to Judge East or Senator Lawless at the
Exchange Hotel Immediately on their
arrival
Every O'Ferrall delegate in the State
must BIO at Richmond on or before the
morning OF August II. If alternates
have been elected either the delegate
or his regularly elected alternate must
be in attendance, as neither can legally
give him another proxy to vote for him.
II a delegate were given permits
sion to appoint his own alter
nate by his constituents, this point will
not be raised. But be sure to
go to Richmond. The opposition to
Colonel O'Ferrall, as last resort to
their batiled schemes, are trying to
persuade O'Ferrall delegates, especially
those in counties where the Tyler dele
gates are in the majority, to stay at
home, saying that "O'Ferrall has a
walk over, and your vote will not be
needed. Stay at home and save the
expense" Don't listen to them.

SILVER LEGISLATION.

Congress is now in the throes of the
most violent attack Of silver debate in
its history. There will be no new
presented dozen times, but still the
talk goes on. Two weeks must elapse
before vote can be taken in the House.
At present indications point to u
strengthening Of the hands of the
bimetallists. They point the fact that
both parties have declared in favor of
the continued use OF both metals, and
that the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman &C. would mean a return to
tho gold basis.
The measure which threatens more
than any other the policy OF the ad-
ministration is one looking to the free
coinage Of silver at ratio OF say 20 to
/. There is basic argument in favor
OF making this change of ratio. 1t is
that, as coat of production is the first
determinant OF value, silver ought to
be placed at a lower value than Ii to !,
because, while there have been no
marked improvements in the processes
OF mining gold, there have been numer-
Gus improvements in the methods of
mining and reducing silver, all of which
have tended to reduce the cost of it's
production Where twenty years ago
the average net cost of producing an
ounce of silver was not less than So
cents an ounce, the present average cost
is less than co.
At a ratio of 20 to l the silver advo.
Gates hold that the United States would
be able to maintain parity with gold
against the whole world without danger
of having the other nations despoiI us
of our gold. They hold this position
strongly because the bulk OF the world s
silver is now in general use at much
lower ratio and in the form of sub
sidiary currency which cannot be re
placed with gold.
The Senate is unquestionably in favor
of free coinage at an increased ratio.
Whether or no; the President could be
induced to give his assent to such
measure is problem with probable
answer in the negative. II his answer
should be in the egative, Congress
would have to abandon all attempts to
change existing silver legislation and
concentrate it's efforts on revision Of
the tariff. The Senate will hardly be
ready to vote on silver legislation in
any form before October, and it is al.
ready evident that the President has no
particular measure Of personal influence
in that body. The Western Senators

To the Memory of Our Dearest May
Daughter of Mrs. y. A. Forbes, 1902
Patterson Avenue

To the Memory of Our Dearest May,
Patterson Avenue.
While this pure and accomplished
young lady is no more, never while this
heart continues it's pulsation SHALL she
be forgotten. She who was endowed
with all Christian grace. TO lad y-like
department was add ed the softness and
simplicity OF the sweetest little child,
yet was she endowed with firmness Of
character and business knowledge that
would have fitted her for the sterner
duties of life. Our city has lost one
among her most lovely daughters. With
her widowed mother, Il lady of energy,
she came several years since to swell
the population and prosperity of our
city, but alas. for all who loved her
we have been forced to give her over to
our dear Saviour, and with whom she
will abide in the green pastures by the
living waters of life where the flowers
are blooming, blooming never more to
fade, to this eden of purity and eternal
life, the loved and lost to US forever
here has gone. Notwithstanding the
fight between life and death to de-
tain her, the earnest faith full. constant,
unwaveriDg, patient, sleepiess eyes
Shob WaICDCo OFSr ueE. AL t0aU skill
and power with constant attendance by
her faithful physicians was done. In
addition She was watched over by those
who loved her most dearly, and could
she have lee watched from victorious
death. Death itself would have been
dared; none knew of the fearful struggle,
the earnest prayers that went up from
he heart of him who loved her mt }
tenderly than all, and when he saw
nothing more could be done he bowed
his head and said: death, oh! death,
victorious death, servant OF our God.
Oh! God, help us to humbly bow
Where shall these hearts rest
Whom death has severed.
From this true loved ones breast
Were parted forever.
Savior, l. ok to thee;
Let her loved spirit be not far from me.
Mid storms that here shall hover,
On me thy loving care bestow;
Dearest, thy rest th.rc shall take;
Here we are parted forever,
Dear loved one here never again to awake.
Oh, never, no never.
BY ONE WHO LOVED HER.

HYPNoTIzED HIS PRIsoNER.-Cap-
tain S. Spencer Smith, of the English
army, upon whom Sergeant Sheehan
tried the powers of mesmerism last
Saturday night, was again intoxicated
Wednesday evening and was taken to
the west Thirtieth street police station.
Sergeant Halpin was in charge when
Cabman James Mitchell entered and
told the sergeant that he had an intox-
icated man in his cab and could not
get him out alone. Smith was carried
into the back room and laid on the
floor. He was unconscious and abso-
lutely oblivious of his surroundings.
While he lay there Inspector Nc.
Evoy and Capt O'Connor entered, and
the captain told the inspector of Ser
geant Sheehan's peculiar power and
how he had exercised it on the previ-
Gus visit ofthe prisoner. The Inspec-
tor was very much interested and ask
ed him to try to awaken the unconscious
man.
Sergeant Sheehan walked into the
back room and STOPPING over Smith
made couple of quick passes with his
hands and snapped his fingers: The
man began to move uneasily and flnal-
ly when the Sergeant said, Get up,
old man." he arose to his feet and walk
ed toward the Sergeant, who began to
back away. Smith followed him into
the front room and up to the desk.
Sergeant Halpin asked him for his
name and address, but received no re-
sponse. Then Sergeant Sheehan asked
him, and he Immediately replied, CIV
ing his name as Captain S: Spencer
Smith, his age as fifty-two and his ad-
dress the Hotel Brunswick. Then he
followed the Sergeant down stairs and
into cell. Immediately thereafter ne
went off into drunken sleep.-N 7.
