elsewhere in this paper. An establish
ment so well and favorably known to
the tobacco planters Of this section of

Novelties III Ladies' Outing Cos
Tunes

At this season of the year when so
many ladies are planning their prospec-
tive trips to the country, the question
naturally arises in regard to an apprO-
pirate travelling costume, Which expert
ence teaches is an Indispensable garment
for every woman tourist to possess.
Moreover, a well ordered wardrobe pre-
supposes in addition, an outing costume.
The selection OF the latter is problem
of no mean Importance, for it consists in
finding 8 model both stylish and cOmfOr-
table and which may, at the same time,
prove q judlclOuS economy. On the other
hand lovers of outdoor pastimes are
in quest OF novel designs for garden
parties and tennis costume, while fO1
those who prefer our fashionable water
ing resorts, a bathing suit is, OF course,
de rigucur. Now, since all the ObOye es-
SentlalS OF q summer outfit follow the
dictate of Fashion, and since tn ere is
nowadays, as much style in Il bathing OF
tennis suit as in travelling or outing
costume. one is obliged to conform tC
the current modes. The Mcdowell Fash

give the desired information on these
matters, for they contain the best anc

Chicago. the Fair and the Fire.

The GOLD LEAF has heretofore alluded
TO some OF the most important places of
interest and amusement in Chicago. as
incident to q visit to the Worlds Fair.
There Is much to entertain, instruct and
engage ones time and attention, Il fact
which is manifest to every visitor very
soon after arriving in the the great City
of the Lakes. One OF the most remark
able facts noticeable among the great
influx OF visitors to the Fair is their keen
interest in the great city, herp past history
and present wonderful growth, and the
marvellous rebuilding that has taken
place since Chicago was swept away by
the flames OF the fire of 1871 This is
nowhere more m3nifest than at the
Cyclorama of tho Chicago Fire, Michigan
Avenue and Madison Street, where the
beautiful effects that the artists have Sc
cured in painting the great conhagratiOn
are like nothing ever yet shown in CyclO-
ramic work;-the burning embers, hurled
through the air by the hurricane that
was blowing on that memorable October
day, the topping walls, portions OF which
are shown in mid air, blown there by an
explosion Of giant powder, clouds OF
rudy hue, tinted by the flames, the
shadows Of which are dancing on the
doomed buildings-alI so realistic as to
be startling in their effect, and one can
almost imagine the work OF destruction
to be at the moment going on.
The visitor to Chicago will find this
one of the most interesting exhibitions
in the city.

4 Word About Tobacco Warehouses.

4 Word About Tobacco Warehouses.
At meeting of the stockholders of
the Farmers Alliance Warehouse held
here this morning, it was determined
to discontinue business after July 3Ist,
1898.
The business of the warehouse is in
good shape and the stock has proven a
good investment to its owners, but the
scarcity of money has compelled quite
their capital and it was the sense of
the meeting that it is better to close
than attempt to continue business on a
reduced capital.
The warehouse has quite a lot of
tobacco on hand and as soon as this
can be converted into money the stock
holders will be paid in full and the
profits divided.
The above is part of a Henderson
letter, dated June oath, published in
the Ne.cs and Observer. The GOLD
LEAF regrets that the Alliance ware
house will discontinue business, either
as matter Of choice or by force Of cir
cumstances, but the winding up Of its
affairs will not affect the Henderson
market. The other warehouses have
ample capital at their command and
we doubt if they were ever in better
condition.
Much has been said about high
charges. and the Alliance houses were
started to reduce rates in the interest
Of the farmers. But economically and
well managed as they have been, they
have not succeeded, and of the more
than half dozen that have been started
within the last five years, with the
| closing of the Henderson house there
| will be but one Farmers Alliance
warehouse in the State. We regret
that this has been the history of such
houses, because as a friend of the
farmers we desire to see every measure
prosper that looks to their welfare
There must be some cause for this.
Let Us see then what it is if possible.
Has it been bad management? We
think not. Has there been unfair
dealing toward the stockholders No.
Then the only way we can account for
failure is the fact that they undertook
more than they could carry out for the
charges demanded.
This with regard to the Alliance
warehouses generally. Of the Hender-
son house especially it may be said
they are all clever gentlemen, capable
and experienced business men-mana-
gers, directors and stockholders-and
did as well as any one could have done,
but you may put it down as fact that
no warehouse or any other business
can succeed in the long run on cut rate
charges. No man or association of
men can afford to do business at loss.
We know that there is an impression
abroad that the warehousemen are
getting rich and that their charges are
too high and all that, but we seriously
question whether any Of them have as
big piles to place to their credit as sc
much clear gain from this source alone
after all expenses have been paid al
the end of each year rs some people
think. And while their charges may
seem too high experience appears tC
have demonstrated that warehouses
can not be successfully maintained will
lower rates. We say this as much il
the interest Of the farmer as the ware
houseman. 1t is well for US to look 4
such matters fairly and say whether W.
are not better Off by maintaining ;
, strong home market.
