JOSEPHINE GOWN AND SATIN DINNER DRESS.
Among the newest materials put for
ward this season is denier pointille de
lore, which is a crepon with checks and
bright colored dots on plain, ground.
There is a changeable diagonal which
takes four different shades in different
lights. 1t does not wear well, however,
shrinking up in the dampness. Another
wool ground has silk tracery all over it
in oriental design. This also looks bet
ter than it wears.
There are several styles of bayadere
stripes, which are reversible and may be-
come popular, but the silk diagonal is
silk and wool, oyershot with oriental
colorings, and this is lovely and will be
durable.
There are two or three new ideas in
reps and gTosgrains and bsngalines, but
they are really more suitable for wraps
than dress goods. OLIVE HARPER.

look like fairy bowers and are more
beautiful than one can tell, with their
rich coloring Of purple and green.
Purple and green, by the way, are often
seen-not a raging, violent purple like
that affected by the Italian women, but a
modified shade-heliotrope, maybe, vio-
let, lilac or the hazy shade of the morning
sky. All these shades are combined with
all the shades of yellow or of green, but
they are carefully done, with nature as
the master.
l saw hat-oh, a dream Of hat! It
was of fine black lace and narrow black
velvet ribbon, and on it was regularly
gathered and tied up bunch of pink moss
rosebuds and violets. Just think Of put
ting pink and violet together! Yet, with
the tender moss on the buds and the
green hearts of violet leaves, there was
no clash of color. All was the most ex-
quisite harmony. If nature is studied
and her lessons learned, there will be no
mistake even on an Easter bonnet.
Another thing just now gives oppor-
tunity for beautiful harmonies in color,
and that is the design in the challies and
sateens. Natural flowers are reproduced
as exactly almost as an artist does in
painting, and the effect is so pleasing
that the eye rests on them with keen de-
light. One dark, reddish brown challie
had the most exquisite duets, pink and
blue, scattered sparingly over it. An
other of soft greenish white had trail
ing pond lilies, natural size, and how
cool and pretty gown that will make in
summer one can imagine when trimmed
with lace and loops of moss green velvet
ribbons.
A challie that was made up and in
window also gained my appreciation. 1t
had pattern of Scotch thistles in nat
ura1 color. The gown itself was plain
in make, belted in by plaid ribbon, which
formed one loop and two long ends. The
ribbon contained the colors of the this
tie. The neck was finished with deep
frill and jabot of point de gene lace, and
the sleeves were frilled with the same.
Challie is so deliciously soft and fine
that it appeals to every one, and it drapes
as beautifully as Grape.
The new zephyr and lace ginghams
are as soft as the challies, and think the
prettiest are those in ombre stripes.
There are some magnificent white bro,
cade silks, and some satin dress patterns
with designs worked out in gold and sill
yer embroidery. A Josephine gown for
handsome evening wear was of white
and silver brocade, with moss green vel
vet pulled sleeves and sash. Around the
bottom was a silver ribbon with green
velvet leaves.
A satin embroidered costume was most
elegant. The gown was cut en- princesse,
the embroidered front slashed over en-
J broidered black tulle. The train was of
satin, and the sleeves were "angels"
made of Spanish lace. The embroidery
was of black, gold and silver. The man
ner of dressing the hair added piquancy
to the whole costume, which was PAL.

meeting of the Charleston Bar to-day
resolutions were adopted earnestly re-

Charles Fl. Smonton, United States
District Judge for South Carolina, for

slonai cor fidence in his exact legal
knowledge, his wisdom and his upright
ness make it eminently proper for the

brief but eloquent speeches, and the

Tho NOtArieH Public.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. 2.-Elsewhere
in The Register this morning is pub
lished a proclamation by Governor
Tillman with reference to the NOtaries
Public of the State in which the com
missions issued prior to 1889 are re-
voked. In general way the procla.
nation Is self-eXplanatory. In speak
ing of the subject more particularly
Governor Tillman said that the COM
missions of the Notaries Public having
no limitations as to time there was no
way of telling who they are or how
many of them are in the State, some of
the com mission now in force dating
back forty and fifty years. Some Of
the Notaries have abused their privi-
leges and are unfit to hold their COM
missions many of them being appoint
ed in Radical times, 1t is an easy
matter in many instances for Notaries
Public to be guilty of fraud in collu-
sion with some one else, and the Coy
ernor says there should be characl er
behind these commissions as behind
everything else. The Governors ac-
tiOn IN this matter is unusual if not
unprecedented, but as the Notaries
Public only hold Office during the
pleasure Of the Governor" he has the
right to do it In the exercise of his dis
cret1On and he thinks he has sufficient
reasons for his action in the premises.
The Governor will ask the Legisla-
ture to pass an Act limiting the terms
Of Notaries Public to FIVE years. In

MY Dear Sir: Some days ago you
called attention through your paper to
the fact that | was Vice President of

several of our Democratic papers refer
ence made to your statement, and in
one instance the question was asked
why no action was taken by myself

OF the Democratic press Of South Car
GINA. Tor these papers represent, in
my opinion, the only true Democratic
sentiment OF the State, and this Senti-
mtnt should be expressed by what are
called the Conservative papers. NV
own Judgment Is clear, that the time
has come when the line should be
drawn between those who stand on the
Cr9io platform and and those who
stand on that Of the National Democ-
racy. No man who uphOld3 the former
can clam properly to be Il Democrat,
anu unless our people choose TO sup.
port the fallaCleS of the OcaIa adher-
entS or to be led INTO the populist oar
ty, the true Democrats Of the State
should organize to maintain the prin-
ciplcs OF the Democratic party as set
forth In the Chicago platform.

cetd to orgNniZe National Democratic

port of it.
Livingston having had two minutes
granted to him, declared his reasons for
voting against the bill. One Of them
was that It's passage would enhance the
value of money and depress the price
OF products. Another was that it left
tie financial system Of the country to
be determined by international agree
ment and to that he was unyieldingIy
opposed.
After brief speeches by Reed and
Tracy of New York, both OF whom fa-
vor the bill, Wilson closed the discus
sion. The argument. he said, had end
ed; and judgment had been recorded
misunderstood. Nothing which could
be said now could either strengthen or
weaken the position of the measure.
He had recognized from the beginning
of the contest that there had been an
honest difference of opinion on the
meaSure-that those who had opposed
1t and those who favored it were hon.
est, sincere and patriotic. Which side
was right, the future alone would in.
dicate. If the passage of the bill
should bring about a small part of
those BLESSINGS to the country which
its friends proposed; If it would re.
store confidence and enterprise, and
bring prosperity to the people. then the
Judgment of its friends would be jus
tilted and its opponents would stand
before history as men Of honest, pa.
triotic, but mistaken Judgment.
If, on the other hand, it should bring
but one.tenth part Of the evils which
its enemies prophesled, then the judg-
ment of its opponents would be just,
and Its friends would stand before his
tory as honest, patriotic, but mistaken
men. Applause.

A Good Showing,

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 1.--Yesterday
marking the close of the fiscal of 1892
90 the Secretary of State compiled his
annual report of the charters issued
during the year and a remarkably good
showing, considering the hard times is
made as compared to the preceding
year. Less charters were issued than
during the year before, but the aggre-
gate capital invested in them exceeds
the preceding year by over two mil
lions Of dollars. Last year 124 COM
missions were issued with a total of 70
charters. This year 1872 commissions
went out with total of 72 charters
The aggregate capital invested in the
~ companies inaugurated last year. in
cludlng of course, the increase in capl
tai stock Of several concerns previous
ly chartered, was $4,969, $50 as against
81, ,413,OOO for this year. This Is a good
| showing, but 1t is impossible, of course
to tell from these figures whether the
various concerns have been making or
losing money on the capital invested
1t shows however that the people of
the State have not been afraid TO invest
their money In new enterprises and
that South Carolina is still keeping up
in the onward march of progress. The
Attorney General has nearly completed
his annual report. 1t will he one of
the most interesting to be issued this
year. The report of the Attorney
General on the Port Royal and Angus
ia railroad case resulting in the unbot.
tling of Port Royal, will occupy a gooi
deal of space. In this report, too, will
| be found sketch OF all the cases in
which the legal department of the

by the present incumbent in Office than
by any predecessors and the summary
will be interesting. The report will
