A soutbern Wow.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. S,-The
Chattanooga Times OF this morning
says: "But can Judge Jackson afford to
accept this appointment in the present
situation2 AZ advised at the time OF
this writing we say, as Judge Jackson's
friend, most emphatically no." That
petitions have been circulated for the
past few days since Justice Lamars
death asking Judge JOckson's appoint
ment by Republicans cannot be denied.
This, with other well grounded rumors,
justiies the belief that Judge JaCkson's
appointment is not made OH Its merits
Two reasons are assigned. First, that
the President wants to mako place for
his law partner and attorney general,
Mr.. Miller, who would be made Judge
OF circuit which takes in the field Of
the Presidents law practice. Second,
to got Judge Jackson out Of the way so
that partisan use can be made Of olec-
tlon machinery, and so that Ropubli-
cans can be placed In all tho Offices
within tho appointing power OF the cir
cult Judge.

SHERMAN SILVER BILL.
It is Debated in the senate-senatoF Hill
Moves to Tnke II Up.

It is Debated in the senate-senatoF Hill
Moves to Take 1t Up,
WASHINGTON, D, O., Feb, S,-The ques-
tion of the repeal OF the Sherman act,
or at least OF the suspension Of the sill
yer bullion purchase provision OF 1t,
was unexpectedly precipitated on the
senate to-day by Mr., Teller, of Colorado.
Mr.. Teller in presenting some petit
tions against the repeal OF the sherman
act addressed the senate, lie declared
that in hisjudgment there was a decided
majority on both sides Of the chamber
opposed at this time to the repeal OF
that act, and also that in his opinion 1t
could not be made political question
at tho next session, whatever might be
the inclination oi the incoming Presi-
dent. Ho quoted from an article in
yesterdays New York Herald to the
effect that the President be directed to
have the Sherman act repealed at this
session, and said that he was unable to
determine what the President-elect had
to do with the question. He would not
assert that the article was authorized,
and yet it Comported with the general
tenor Of reports. He had never seen
anything more indecent in publica-
tion il II should be traced anywhere
near to the incoming administration.
In conclusion Mr.. Teller reasserted
his confident belief that 1t was not
among the possibilities that tho Sher-
man act would be repealed ut this ses-
sion OF Congress.
Mr.. Vest (Dem. felt compelled, rs q
Democratic senator, to notice what had
been said about the President-elect, He
had no authority to speak for him and
did not agree with him on the silver
question, but he had never suspected
any indirection on Mr.. Clevelands part
in regard 10 that or any other public
question. The character OF no public
man was safe ii he were held RESPONSE
bic for newspaper utterances.
Mr.. Sherman rep said that when
ever ho was assured that there was q
majority OF the senate IN favor OF the
bill reported by him to suspend the
purchase Of silver bullion, he would
move to take 1t up.
Mr.. Gray dem. inquired what bot
ter evidence there could be OF the dis
position Of the senate than roll call.
Mr.. Sherman repeated virtually what
he had already said, and added that it
was the right and duty OF any other
senatorwho believed that the bill could
be pissed to move to take 1t up. He
had taken means TO ascertain the senti-
ment OF senator's, and he was not salts
fed that the bill could be passed at the
present session.
Mr.. Hill (Dem. said that in his judc.
ment the best way to test the sense OF
the senate was by direct motioni and
he therefore gave notice that on Mon.
day next, during the morning hour, he
should move to take up tho bill to
which Mr.. Sherman referred. The SEN
ate then proceeded to other business.

Autl.option nlll victory.

WASHINGTON, D. O.. Feb. s,-The
friends OF the anti.option. bill obtained
victory in the house to-day. Although
the speaker decided against them and
ruled that the house could not at pres
ent non-concur in the senate amend-
ments, and thus threw the bill into
conference, when q report would be-
come privileged, the house, notwith-
standing the determined fight of the
ways and means committee and OF the
other opponents OF the bill, referred it
to the committee on agriculture, which
is favorable to its passage. And it did
so by large majority, not quite two
thirds, but approximating to it so
closely that 1t Is still n debatable ques-
tion whether ii two.thirds vote Is re-
quired it could not be obtained.

crowded with terror stricken people.
AT 10 o'clock this morning a solemn
and imposing service beseeching the
intervention Of Saint Donis, patron Of
the island, was held, the relics Of the
saint being placed in a gold case on q

kneeling on the bare ground. The
greatest devotion was evinced. Atl1

THE EARTH CONFUSED.
The Island of zante Disrupted by
Earthquake Shocks.
PEOPLE STRICKEN .NIIA TERROR.
Tho Bake Shops Are Destroyed and
tho Inhabitants Are Suffering for
Food and Camped Out in the
Fields-The Roman Bank Scandal
Causes Lively Scene in the Italian
Chamber of Deputies.

ATHENS, Feb. 3,-It Is an undisputed
fact that the earthquakes that have
occurred during the past two or three
days at Zaute have bean the worst that
have ever done damage on that island
in modern times, and no one can tell
when the disturbances will cease. The
shocks experienced last night did
enormous damage; in fact, the whole
island was devastated. 10 add to the
terror OF the inhabitants a most terri
BILE thunderstorm prevailed at the
timo OF the shocks. Rain fell in tor
rents and was accompanied by large
hailstones. The blinding flashes Of
Lightning, the roaring thunder and the
rumbling beneath the surface Of the
swaying earth caused many people to
believe the end OF all things had come.
The people were panic stricken, and so
great was the fear inspired that many
persons entirely lost their reason and
are now hopeIessly crazed.
A most unfortunate feature OF the
situation is tho fact that last nights
shocks destroyed the bread ovens in
the city Of Zante, rendering it impossi-
BILE for tho greater portion OF the inhab-
itants to procure that most necessary
article OF food. The minister OF the In
terror has arrived at ZanSe and will do
everything inhis power to relieve the
distress. King George will start for
Zante on Sunday. A British war ship
and three vessels belonging to the
Greek navy arrived at the island to-day
with supplies OF tents, provisions and
mehicinns

In the italian Chamber of Dgputles-Th
Bank Scandal.
RoME, Feb. 3.-lhe pressure among
the deputies for a parliamentary In
quiry into tho bank scandals was IN.
creased to-day by confirmation Of the
report that signor Tanlongo, the im-
prisoned governor OF the bank of Rome,
had made a statement duplicating Pre-
mier Giolitti and ex-Premier 0rlspi.
The latter stated that Crispi had
not handled one lire from the
bank OF Rome. that nobody in office
in the days of his premiership, as far
as he knew, had had an official or per.
sonal relation with the bank, and that
he had never seen or heard anything
to indicate that his predecessor or his
successor had received any money from
the bank for political or private pur-
poses. were he not confined TO his
bed, Crispi wrote, he would appear
before the chamber to prove tho false
ness OF Tanlongo's statement. AS soon
as he recovered he would appear to de-
fend himself.
Signor Colaianni spoke at length COM
cerning the necessity Of appointing
parliamentary commission to inquire
into the scandal. His speech was do.

family; "Tho national bank has paid
annually a large sum OF money to the
secret service fund. Allhave suspected
this and many Of us know it."
"a more utterly false statement
could not be made in this house." ex-
claimed Premier Giolitti, who was on
his feet to reply before Colajanni could
scat himself.
The premier then addressed himself
to the deputies who, he said, wero
intent upon forcing parliamn-
tary inquiry. 1t was for the chamber
to decide whether or not deputy
Zerbi, who is charged with having re-
ceived large subsidies from the Bank Of
Rome, should be delivered mp to the
criminal law at once, but ho and his coll

After n short but stormy debate the
chamber decided TO authorize tho pros

WASHINGTON, D. g., Feb. SAT a
meeting Of the senate judiciary com.
mittee to-day there was some opposition
to, the nomination Of Judge Jackson,
to succeed Justice Lamar, and the
nomination went over under the rules.
AS far as can be learned the opposition
does not touch Judge Jackaon's charac.
ter or fitness, for even his Democracy,
but is based on an objection founded on
principle, the Democrats having taken
the position that it was not proper for
an outgoing President to fill life places
OF such Importance. There is not ques-
tion that senator's on both sides OF tho
chamber are deeply concerned by the
probability Of the nomination OF a Re-
publican circuit judge to succeed Judge
jackson, the Democrats being deter
mined in advance to resist the lnstalla-
ton OF n Republican on a southern cir
cult, and the Republicans fearing that
they will have q hard struggle to con-
firm such nomination at this late stage
in the session.

Will MOTHS EAT sILKi

For all of these years we have put away
our silken fabrics with the utmost COM
placency, in the belief that moth and
fust at least would not deprive us OF the
enjoyment of their beauties; but Of late
when we unfold these glossy treasures
find here little spot that looks as
though it had been scorched, there tiny
hole, aud somewhere else furrow with
a very suspicious appearance. Inyestl.
CATION reveals the fact that some insect
deprcdator has been at work, and on
several occasions a moth has been found
regaling himself on this, TO him, new
dainty.
just why moths should take to silk
after all these years is one OF the un-
solved problems OF life. Whether the
treatment of the silk, the dyes or the
finish has anything to do with this or
whether il is a new species Of moth, or
maybe, If tired Of one sort Of diet, this
insinuating pest has made up his mind
TO try new pastures, some one well up In
the science OF insectology might decide,
greatly to the satisfaction OF the per-
picked housewife. Certain it is that
women who own silken garments are
finding it necessary to take great care Of
certain sorts Of silk. Some fine japanese
grapes seem to have offered n very
tempting bait to these small creatures,
for thd fabric is perforated with holes
as clean-cut rs though made with die.
One woman is having bags made for all
her dresses. Two.yard wide sheeting

A hanger, such as is used in the shops,
is fastened to the bag, the skirt is put
over this, the waist is attached by tapes,
then The bag is drawn over and closely
ticl with draw string Ii these bags
are washed and starched, they are almost
impervious to moths, and little pre-
caution Of this kind may save dollars
worth of dresses. The bag is equally
good for wool or silk. and half dozen
Of them should be in the wardrobe of
every woman who owns good dresses -

BONNET PINS.

At one time every one fastened on her
hat with piece of elastic. Then this
was discarded and far from ornamental
black and white headed pins, az the case
might bc, were used. The appearance
of many pretty little bonnet was marred
by the reckless use OF these unsightly
articles. But we have changed all that,
and nowadays bonnet pins are made a
special study OF, with the most charming
results. IL is necessary To have set OF
pins to tone with each hat or bonnet,
and they may be obtained in all shapes,
sizes and colors. Some of the prettiest
simulate flowers.
Blue corn flowers have n tiny crystal
glistening in the center Of the stamens,
and brilliancy is added to counterfeit
Neapoltan and wood violcts by the same
means. Pink tipped daisies make be-
witching pins. as do sweet pea bios
SONS in natural tints. Pin heads set
with crystals are always effective. OF
more costly and elaborate designs there
is an immense variety Moonstones are
much used in conjunction with dia-
monds, md many fanciful ideas are
carried out in the multi-colored stones
which have been so fashionable of late.

The main cause of bad complexion
is n bad digestion. Eating too much,
eating foods that do not nourish or that
do not agree with the system, derange
it, lndigestiblc or supertluous food, in
stead of being converted into blood, de-
Composes and causes either yellow
complexion or pimples or cold sores.
The best cure for sallow or blotched
skin is a simple diet. Amounting the
face is time and effort wasted. The dis
ease is inside, and that is where the
remedy must be applied. Some simple
medicine will be absolutely necessary to
clean house and start the human ma
chinery on new and health producing
basis. After that temperance. bathing
and dieting will do the work. Just
what the diet should be will depend
upon the individual, but simplicity, ab-
stemiousness and regularity are indis-
pensable to health and good looks.
People who go To prison and into con-
vents and monasterics are always
healthier and handsomer when they come
out than they were before they went in.
Bread and water may not be toothsome,
but il is wholesome. Children and
babies who leave asylums and institu-
lions for homes in private families get
sick the first week, proving that nature
does not require either rich or abundant
material for beauty and health.
