Charged with Contempt.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Judge Stein Of the
Superior Court this morning decided
that the Worlds Fair officers and ai-
rectors who had been directly RESPONSE
bic for closing the Exposition gates on
Sunday, July 23, had violated the in
junction granted in the Clingman petit
ton and were consequently guilty of
contempt. He ordered that Directors
Gage, Hutchinson, Heurotin, McNally,
and Kerfoot should be fined ST. 900 each
and stand committed to jail until the
fine should be paid. In the case Of Di-
rector Victor L. Lawson the court held
that he had voted in belief that the in
junction had lapse,l and WAS not inten-
tionaliy guilty. In view Of this miti-
imposed. Director General George Il.
Davis was held less directly responsible
and was fined $3.50 with the same pro-
vision regarding payment. Messrs.
Massey, Forbes, st. Clair, and Higin-
botham We're regarded as instruments
for the execution of the directors ruiz
ing and were discharged. Director Ma
than was also discharged.
The cases of contempt have been filed
in the appellate court, but as they can
not take precedeuce on the docket it is
believed that the Fair will be closed
before the cases are reached.

after the fireworks. This is the best
time also to view the Electricity build
ing, as all the wonderful electric efforts
are displayed in the evening. Satur-
day morning should be devoted to the
Midway Plaisance. The hest way to
enter is by the Cottage Grave
enterence on the west side. The things
OF the greatest Ill terest in the Plaisance
are the Ferris wheel first, the streets
of Cairo next. Then take the Foreign
tribes; spend few moments in the Da-
homy village, another ten minutes in
the Nubian huts-the people Stanley
found-then cross the street and visit
the Mooris Palace and Old Vienna.
The Javanese will come last; but they
are worthy visit also. In the after
noon visit Buffalo Bill's Wild West
show and see our wild indians and their
wonderful exploits with the wild horses
OF the prairie. If you are not thankful
you are q genuine yankee by Saturday
night, after you have seen a glimpse of
all nations, then you ought be. Satur-
day evening give one more look at the
fireworks and and fountains, then you
can rest Sunday and start home Mon
day morning, just one week after your
landing. This is a hard week S work
but one can hire one of those rolling
chairs which are so com Portable and
easy to ride in, and get over the ground
quite easily.

Feeding Wheat to Their Hogs.

FosroR1A, O., Aug. IA large num-
Der of farmers in this vicinity are feed
ing their wheat to their hogs rather
than sell it at the low prices now srul-
ing. Hogs are quoted at from 80 to 81
per hundred, and 1t is estimated that d
bushel of wheat properly ground and
prepared and fed with little other
feed to give variety viii put on from l 5
to 20 pounds of flesh on hog. This
being the case the farmer can easily re-
alize dollar a bushel for bis wheat
and save the trouble of hauling it to
market, In one case just west Of here
a farmer turned 100 head Of hogs into
his wheattield, not even taking the
trouble to harvest it, and it is said the
porkers are doing finely on their new
provinder.

TExARKANA, Aug. 4.-Henry Armour,
a negro who lives in disreputable sub
urb known as Swampoodle, quarrelled
with his wife Fannie last night. Both

the quarrel continued to late hour

literally splitting her head open and
knocking out her brains. The murder
er then piled lot of bed clothing over
the body and, saturating the entire
mass with kerosene, set it on fire and
then left. Lucy Moore, who lives in
the other end of the house, witnessed
the whole horrible affair, but was pow
erless to interfere, as Armour had lock-

deadly assault upon his wife. AS soon
as he was gone Lucy gave the alarm
and neighbors who responded burst
open the door and extinguished the ire

An Editor Shot.

TEXARKANA, Aug. 4-In tense excite
ment WAS caused here to night over the
shooting and perhaps fatal wounding
of Captain w. J. Allen, editor and pro-
prietor Of the Daily Interstate News,
ty John ]. King, County Judge of Bowie
county, Texas. The beginning of the
trouble dates back about month to
when Allen WAS arrested and fined for
alleged contempt of court by the Com
missioner's Conrt, of which King is ex-
oflicio presiding officer.
The alleged contempt was the publi-
cation by Allen of an adverse criticism
of the courts action. Tonight the
parties met, whereupon King drew re-
volver and fired, the ball taking effect
in Aliens left side. and passing through
the body below the lungs. Physicians
say there is little chance for Allen to

OH MAMMA !!
The Lady Managers at the Fair Kick
Up SheOl Among Themselves.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The board of lady
managers INDUCED in another wrangle
dav. Mrs. Ball of Delaware, secretary
of the committee on awards, read long
complaint of Mrs. Meredith, chairman
of the committee. She referred to Mrs.
Meredith as the" arrogant chairman of
the committee" and said when she
could not attend she sent her sister to
act as overseer, when her sister had no
right to seat in the committee. A
sensation occurred at last when Mrs.
Ball said: "And now in conclusion, l
desire to say that Mrs. Meredith is an
arrogant, malicious, ungenerous, VIM
dictive woman"
Before she had finished, half the
women in the house were on their feet,
many shrieking wildly. Others hissed,
stamped their feet, and some wrung
their hands in despair. Mrs. Palmer
used the gavel vigorously and called in
vain for order, but the excited females
paid no heed to her. Take that back, }"
Put her out" screamed women and so
pandemonium continued.
During the uproar Mrs. Ball stood
perfectly calm. When at length order
was restored, Mrs. Ball repeated the
sentence. Then the uproar renewed
and continued for some time. Mrs.
Ball then took her seat and instantly
Mrs. Meredith was on the floor. She
said:
$50 far as any difference that exists
between Mrs. Ball and myself is con-
cerned," she began in tremulous
voice, 1--WE can settle it ourselves, but
when she says sent my sister to pre-
side over the committee, she tells that
which is absolutely false.'
Here the speaker broke down and be-
gan to sob Historically. Then there
came another scene Of wild confusion.
Everybody wanted to talk at once.
Mrs. Palmer, who was pale with excite
ment, finally succeeded in restoring the
meeting to order.
Mrs. Ball got the floor again and said
she would retract the word malicious. ="
There was loud applause.
The entire proceedings were after
wards expunged from the records, and
the meeting then adjourned.

to the practical disadvantage under
which we labor in consequence of the
inleriority of our consular service

McAdoo, "more especially has con-

Mr.. Slade discusses other defects of
our consular system, including the
standard and mode of compensation,
but foremost among the qualifications
which he deems essential, are a knowl-
edge of the language of the country,
and, if widely different from our own,
of its institutions and customs,
knowledge which, if acquired by
previous travel or residence, is likely
to be SO much the more valuable.

HOUSE WRAPPER,

pink. Underneath these ruff1es was a
piece of goods to which the full apron
was sewed the hem was laid in three
trucks and edged with a gathered
ruffle of the goods. The apron is
buttoned in the back, and the material
was sheer white batiste, though coarser
material would be better for most
little rompers.
How would you like a wrapper Of
pale blue flannel trimmed with yell
lowed lace and pale blue ribbons, and
made up as indicated by the other
illustration? In this simple and
pretty model the back has but one
seam in the centre. 1t is very bias
below the waist as the skirts has but
few pleats. The fronts are very full
and fasten with small gold buttons.
The hem is trimmed with a full ruch-
ing Of flannel, sewed to the skirt on
both sides. The arrangement of lace
is alike-back and front, and there is
a bow Of ribbon behind similar to that
in front, but with shorter ends and
looks. The sleeves are quite full and
have ruching like that on the skirt,
around the elbow. The outer seam is
left open about one and a half inches.

tlOn.
President Cleveland has way of
making appointments that is peculiarly
his own. If he thinks man is fit for
position he does not seem to care
whether the man is an applicant or
whether he has any endorsements. We
simply picks out the man and tenders
him the place.
This was amply demonstrated in
his selection of ex-senator Eustis as
minister to France.
Mr.. Eustis had not the faintest idea
that he would receive the appointment
until Saturday morning. He had de-
sired to be Secretary Of State, though
ne made no application for it. When
Mr.. Gresham was appointed the Lou
isanian abandoned all political ambi-
tons. He neither applied for anything
nor did he expect anything. On last Fri
day evening he received note from the
President asking him to call at the
White House on Saturday. Mr.. Euslis
did So He and the President sat in the
latter's private Office and discussed
general subjects for an hour. Nothing
had been mentioned about appoint
ments when Mr. Eustis arose to retire
As he did so the President twisted his
chair around and glanced out of the
window overlooking the Potomac. His
back was turned to the ex-senator.

President, as he rose to shake the eN-

Ruhher Out of Cotton Seed Oil

Savannah, Ca, possesses most
unique manufacturing establishment,
the only one of the kind in the world,
where cotton seed oil is manufactured
by secret process into rubber not
a substitute but bona fide rubber; such;
at least, some of the best experts have
pronounced the production of the
factory to be, says writer in the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
Nobody knows anything about what
is going on inside the factory with the
exception of a few very ignorant
negroes. Nobody is admitted. The
bare facts alone are known that crude
cotton seed oil from the oil mill, cost
ing about 50 cents gallon, or about
S135 per ton, is carted in, in 5lon lots,
and that tons of rubber, worth about
81 per pound, 1000 per ton, are
carted cut and shipped to a very
prominent rubber dealer and manu-
facturer OF Boston.
The writer, Mr.. &. b. Warrand,
says the discovery was made by acci-
dent by an artist of some prominence,
who was experimenting with cotton
seed oil in the preparation Of varnsh
for oil paintings, and made rubber
instead. The discoverer claims that
the process is SO simple that he could
not obtain a patent for it, and his
only protection is in secrecy.
The rubber tree forests are thinning
out, while the rapidly increasing
uses of electricity, in which rubber is
SO important as an insulator, make a
growing demand for cheap rubb:r,
and the invention of a cheap and
quick process for producing it from
cotton seed oil means a fortune for
the inventor and an important new
industry for the South.

Beastly Ingratitude.

We clip the following from Josephus
Daniels letter from Washington city
to his paper, the Raleigh North Car
Gilman:
A few nights ago saw a scene that
made me indignant. A congressman
from far western state entered the
hotel and as he stood near the clerks
desk, a plainly dressed gentleman
walked up to him and said: "Can
you spare me just a few minutes of
your -" He did not finish the
sentence before the congressman said
in insulting tones: "No damn it, l
am tired to death of the pers istence
of Office seekers" and he passed on
haughtily, leaving the Office seeker as
founded and crest-fallen. He walked
over to the writing room and took
a seat on sofa looking the
picture Of detection and desolation. l
followed him, inspired by sympathy
and certain attractive sadness in the
mans eye, and sat down near him and
began reading my paper. Presently
l asked him if he had been long in the
city, and we fell into conversation.
TO make a long story short he grad
ually unbosomed himself and, with
wet lashes, told me of the scene | had
witnessed. His heart was we'll nigh
broken. 1t seemed, from his story,
that he had been wealthy and pros
porous business man with penchant
for politics. The young congressman,
who had rebul!ed him, was struggling
young lawyer of his city. He saw he
had talent, gave him his business, spent
money to insure his nomination, and
spent more to insure his election. For
several years he was the congressman S
right hand man, and all in all had
spent all his fortune to advance his
prospects and promote the success of
the party. Now, that he had lost his
money and wanted petty position
merely to earn his bread he was
spurned and ill treated by the man
he had helped into prominence and
greatness. 1t was pitiful story and
when the old man had finished l felt
the tears in my own eyes. God pity
him and pity the migrate. The old
man had warmed a serpent in his
bosom.

The South HonOred.
New Berne Journal.

We do not claim that "the South
is getting the lions share" but this
section of the Union is highly hon
ored by Mr. Cleveland.
We have repeatedly spoken of the
representative men Of the South in the
Cabinet: Carlisle, Smith and Herbert.
We come now to the more recent
appointments CT Ex-senator Eustis,
Of louisiana, as Minister to France,
and General Hampton, of South Caro-
lima, Railroad Commissioner.
When Mr.. Eustis was in the Senate
he was recognized as the Scholar OF
the Senate But he is more than a
scholar He is gentleman Of the
purest type, and a Minister of the
broadest craftsmanship. Speaking the
French language with fluency and ac-
customed to move in the best society,
he is especially suited tor the post to
which he has been assigned.
But, admiring Eustis as we do, we
confess to higher qualification in the
appointment of Hampton. At the
mention of his name a hundred hal
lowed memories come forth, all gar
landed with imperishable honors. \
statesman as pure as Washington, 4
soldier whose sword is as stainless as
the spear of Itheriel, he most COM
mends himself to the affection Of his

The South recognizes its Obligations
to Mr.. Cleveland, and responds with
cordial good wishes for the success OF
his administration.

and label it clearly, the number oil
yards, the color, the material, the con
dition. Then never buy or plan a
new dress without consulting the trunk
or closet where dyed and cleansed
things are. Soft, all silk goods
cleanses till it falls to pieces. So, if
you will consider the wear you get
out of the material, you will be more
economical to buy fine silk than COM
mon quality. Light colors clean
better than dark. All wool goods
may be renovated to the last thread.
Good silk will dye almost like new.
Silk crepe both Cleanses and dyes
not the mourning goods, but chiffon
crepes, crepe de chine, etc. Accordion
pleating leaves creases in silk, but not
in crepe. Lace will cleanse, but is
always a little stiff for while after.
Silk ribbon may be cleansed and
dyed. The really wise woman seldom
buys black, for that is what all her
goods come to in the long run. Thus
a woman should always have a black
costume that is the prettiest in the
world.
