FANClES

Pretty belt buckles are made of Rus.
sian enamel.
Gauntlet cuffs are worn on all varie-
ties of sleeves.
The half handkerchief and the Nor.
mandy are the most striking of the new
bonnet shapes.
A new glove feature is the cuff, which
is not a gauntlet, but a straight cuff,
made by pipings of contrasting color
white on dark tints, dark on light.
Fine broadcloth is used for expensive
capes. A bright canary color makes
one which is worth looking at. The
capes are of various lengths, but
whether long or short are topped by
cape collars, gathered OF jaboted.
Velvet is used on eve the coarsest
cloth. A favorite disposition Of it is the
trimming of the cloth cuff with a velvet
band sewed down ON all edges, and
big button at each end. If the velvet Ii
used to face the cuff almost to the bacl
no buttons are employed.
Much white matelasse is to be uset
for opera wraps, and white and golt
passementerie fringe will be a favorit'
trimming. White passementerie is OF
fered in large variety in the trimming
stores, and is so pretty that every won
an who looks at it will wish to flint
some use for it.-New York Times.

She Knew Young Lincoln.

A visit was made the other day to the
house of Andrew Simmons, a we'll to do
farmer residing near the historic little
inland village of Fountain Green, lying
neal the line of Hancock and McDonough
counties. At his home resides Mr.. SIM
mons aged mother, Mrs. Miranda Sim
mons. She is one of the sturdy pioneers
Of the west. She came to Illinois from
Kentucky when she was fifteen years Of
age, and settled with her parents neal
Petersburg, where she married. They
afterward lived on the Alfred Gordon
farm, near Petersburg, the fences OF
which are to this day composed of the
identical rails cut by Abraham Lincoln
Mrs. Simmons gave the reporter an in,
teresting account of Lincoln's famous
rail splitting.
1t seems that while Lincoln was study
ing law at Petersburg he and a friend
named Hanks-the latter a relative O.
Lincoln's mother-who was also study
ing, boarded at Alfred Gordon's. This
Mr. Gordon was an old friend of tn
Lincoln family.
AS Mr.. Gordon did not charge tn
young men any board they undertook t.
make rails enough for two farms. S
for some months Mr.. Lincoln and youn,
Hanks put in a part Of their time max
ing rails. MI. Lincoln made most O
the rails, and these cut by Hanks wer
used in fencing a farm owned by tn
father of Alfred Gordon. Mrs. Sim
mons remembers Lincoln well as
smart but awkward boy long before h
appeared in public ife.-Illinois Coz

A Hotel Ghost Captured.

The ghost that for years has haunted
the Oceanic hotel and raised the hair of
the people of West Brighton has been
trapped. Since the close Of the season
the huge building has been inhabited
only by John Delaney. a milk dealer,
and the family of one Of his employees.
The other day the milkman heard foot
falls and groaning from the upper floor
of the deserted building. Cautiously
creeping up stairs, he captured the ghost
in the act of grooming.
The groans were produced by nothing
more supernatural than the limb of a
huge willow tree in juxtaposition with q
window blind, the rusty hinges Of which
gave out doleful sounds with every gust
of wind. The tapping Of the loose shut
ter produced a very good imitation Of q
footstep.-Cor. New York Sun.

happened one morning when the chill
dren were in school that two gentlemen
came to pay a short visit to this well
known literary lady. One of the gentle
men was a much loved American poet,
the other a distinguished foreigner and
his guest.
The lady was in her kitchen making

prepare for her children, and she would
therefore be obliged to ask her guests
into her kitchen. She added in a mirth'
full way to the foreign gentleman that
he was not likely to receive another such
invitation while in this country, and she
hoped the novelty of it would lead him
to respond heartily.
The guests were delighted to accep'
the invitation, and followed their host

At a reception of the Buifalonians'
club in the Hotel Imperial Wednesday
night four former residents of Buffalo
found themselves grouped together in
the refreshment room. They had not
met in nor than ten years. Each rec
ognized the other, however, and there
was cordial handshaking all around.
Pretty soon the talk drifted back to the
old Buffalo days, and memory recalled
the peculiar circumstances that about a
dozen years ago one of the quartet was
u strong Republican, another was a Pro-
h%ibitionist, a third was a Greenbacker
and the fourth was a Democrat. All

Mrs. Patrick s. Gilmore.

Mrs. Gilmore was a Lowell girl, the
daughter of P. A. O'Neill, an engraver
by trade. He had a small shop on Lee
street, and there did quite a business en-
craving copper plates, from which the
labels that the manufacturers placed on
their goods were printed. Mrs. Gilmore's
maiden name was Ellen j. ONeill, and
she was the organist at st. Patrick's
church. The story of her meeting with
her husband was quite a romantic one.
Mr.. Gilmore came to Salem after leav-
ing Canada, and was a bandmaster there
for several years. While he was in that
city the choir of st. Patrick's church
went there to give a concert. Mr.. Gil
more met Miss O'Neill, and was very
much pleased with her.
Their acquaintance ripened into some
thing stronger than mere friendship,
and a little more than a year afterward
they were married. The ceremony took
place at St. Patrick's church May IL
1859, and was performed by Rev. join
| O'Brien, the pastor. At that time Mr.
| Gilmore was twenty-eight years old
/ and was still living in Salem. Mis-
O'Neilrs family originally came from
Boston, but while in Lowell they live
on Lawrence street, and afterward Oh
Lee street. She was born here. Dur
ing their courtship MI. Gilmore fire
quently visited her here, and the song
"Seeing Nellie Home" or "Aunt Dinah'
Quilting Party" was attributed to him
perhaps without reason, as it was copy
righted by j. S. Paine in 1856. At an,
rate he probably played its music fire
quently, and was ''seeing Nellie home
on more than one occasion.-LOwel

Mrs. Pender's Lucky Discovery.

Josiah Fender, of ~Edgecombe county,
died during the war. A short time be-
fore he died he was in the West Indies
and from there he sent his wife, a sister
of Louis S. Fender, three drafts of $500
each on the Bank Of England. These
were received, but there being no COM
munication with Great Britain they
were put away and finally forgotten. A
few days since Mrs. Fender. in hauling
over the contents of an old trunk, came
across these three checks. At first she
was disposed to regard them as worth
less paper except that they contained
the writing of her husband, but on Sec
ond thought she determined to ascertain
their value. So the drafts were Endorsed

MEAGHER COUNTY should have a

Photographers in England.
Owing to the cholera on the continent
papa has been taking MS for q tour
through the west Of England, and I
want to tell you how we have been an
noyed everywhere by the amateur pho
tographers with their horrid cameras.
You can't get away from them any
where. At all the famous hills and
rocks and valleys and waterfalls, just
when you are prepared to go into rap
lures, you find a camera planted, and q
pair Of photographers-they always seem
to go ahcrt In pairs-monopolizing the
best point of view. We tried in vain to
escape from them all through Cornwall,
and now that we have come here they
seem to be thicker than ever.
1t is not their photographing scenery,
however, that we object to SO much as
their photographing their female fellow
creatures. If you are not very careful
you may get taken at any minute as an
"object" in the foreground of q picture.
And the people who carry hand cameras
| think it the greatest fun to get pictures
of girls in undignified attitudes. Now.
If there is one thing more than another
that any girl with a well regulated mind
is particular about, it is to look nice
when she is having her portrait taken,
and it's a horrible thing to think that
you may be photographed at any minute
without knowing it, with your hail
and clothes all awry, and yourself per
haps all thrown down in a heap, after 8
long walk or a game of tennis, in the
belief that 40 one could see you.
You may say, of course, that nobody
who knows you sees these pictures. Blu
how are we to be sure of that? W.
