BRIEF FASHION HINTS.
Notes of the Modes to aid the
Autumn shopper.

Combs of the broad, high, old-fash-
ioned shape, made of ivory and mother
Of pearl, are being worn with old-iash-
ioned gowns.
A "dress improver' is something
very nice to have. II is somewhat
new idea. IL is made of the very
lightest hair cloth, does not weigh
pound and does away with the need
of heavy shirts, keeping the dress in
proper lines.
White bsngaline will be much, used
this winter for bridal gowns. All
corded effects will he fashionable, and
heavy laces will be employed in trim
ming.
The blouse, the Eton and the open
jacket still remain in favor perhaps
will reign through the winter. The
open jacket is improved by the large
buttons of ivory or of brown.
There is return to soft, clinging
camels hair. delightful fabric that
was displaced by the sitter cloths pre-
ferred by tailors. This is now made
very Aeecy, and sometimes with the
pile fattened in what is called the
India finish.
Velvet sleeves, with corselet to
match, are worn with plain cloth or
silk waists, and richly plaided or strip
ed goods continue to be employed for
guimpes and sleeves. Stylish house
dresses are still made long, but not
long enough to be called trained, while
full trains are only worn with the
most elaborate toilets.

Off To Jail Two-bY-Two
a Blow at Lynch's Sanctified
Band.
LIFTING NGHYPOCRISY'S VEIL.
The People of ChincOteaguc De-
terminctl to Break upa
SO-called Religious
Snaf

y special correspondent of the Phil
alelphia Record writes from Chinco-
league under date of September 18th,
Cast Monday regarding the arrest OF
Joe Lynch and Sadie Collins as fol-
lows:
The "Two.by-Two" religion of Lead
er Lynch, of the Sancitified Band, has
received blow from the exasperated
residents that it is hoped may prove
fatal to the cause. Lynch is in Jail, as
is also his fellow-watchman, Sarah +.
Collins; John +. Collins, the husband
of Sarah; and William j. Chandler,
another leader. The foundation of
this religion is that the brother must
pray and read his bible in secret, and
that he must have a fellow-w -watchman
upon these occasions of alleged relig-
ious meditations. Just who the fellow
watchman is to he must be revealed to
the brother in a dream. According 10
the creed laid down by Leader Lynch
Il sister was always selected to help
watch. The rules of the Sanctified
Band made it imperative for wife to
leave her husband, or daughters to
leave their parents, and join with the
male members in the so-called watch
ing.

A resident of Kent county wearing
a dusty sombrero, yellow clothes and
heavy boots. stepped ashore from the
steamer B. S. Foard and registered at
the Fountain Hotel, Baltimore Tues

result of blowing out the gas and then
going to sleep. To make sure of no
casualty, he brought with him a can
die from his home in Kent county.
While moving around his room in the
hotel with the lighted candle in his
hand, he ran into the mosquito netting.

low on fire. There were cries of fire
and rush for water, and the flames
were soon out. The countryman re-

Men that Women Like.

Men are always ready to give very
freely their ideas Of the style of women
that please them and want every de-
slrable quality embodied in that one
little morsel Of femininity, consequently
il is not out Of place for woman to
tell the sort of Il man that a woman
likes.
lie must be essentially manly. The
more dainty and feminine the woman
the greater Hercules she admires, yet
he must be merciful as strong. He
cannot adore her too much, yet at
times must be masterful. He will be
in every way worthy Of respect, for
unless he is she will not love him. A
woman wants to look up, not down, to
the man who is her husband. She
would rather that he would be her
mental superior than her equal.
She revels in his strength yet enjoys
his tenderness. The man who can lift
a woman in his arms and carry her
from chair to couch when illness makes
her as weak as a baby and does so
with the gentleness of woman, is the
sort of man that a woman turns into a
hero.
lie must be generous and, all, yes, a
trifle good looking. but not too much
so, for then he would be vain, and
that she despises.
He must be man other men look
up to, and likewise one whom other
women cOvet. He must be honorable
and upright, but not goody-goody
must take an interest in our bonnets,
though he may not know al ostrich
feather from a ten-penny nail, and. in
fact, be an all-round dear, delightful
creature whom we can love with all
our heart.

The Fires will Make Work for

From the ST. Paul Daily Globe.

From the ST. Paul Daily Globe.
"What is the probable loss from the
fire of pine stumpage throughout the
Statey' was asked of leading logger.
"'rhe loss is in one sense nominal"
replied he. "You understand, fire does
not burn the body Of a pine tree; it
only burns off the bark and foliage.
The trunk of the burned tree is as good
as ever it was, with this exception: The
tree, after it is burned, must be cut
the succeeding winter, else it will he
come worm eaten and worthless.
"This fire is a blessing in disguise to
labor. Every owner OF burned pine
stumpage must go to work this coming
winter and cut every foot Of it, and
many of these owners are forced to cut
perhaps hundreds of millions of feet Of
stumpage they would not otherwise
have cut for years to come. They are.
you see, forced to er :ploy immense
crews of men they would not otherwise
have had use for"

The advocate, published at Cou-
dersport, Pa, says: Lees Circus
drew an audience that packed the big
tents to their utmost capacity yesterday.
The performance was far ahead OF
expectation. The best show ever in
Couderspor' is the expression of all
who attended. Mr.. Lee is to be con-
graduated upon the decorum Of his
employees" The Sentinel, Trumans-
burg, n. y, gives the following descrip-
ton of Lees Circus performance:
"The splendid band is heard playing
the beautiful overtime campo and
the large crowd soon filled the spacious
tents and the performance began by
grand entree representing every nation.
Then followed bewildering array Of
acts, startling, mystifying and amusing.
The trained horses and japanese circus
were especially worthy of notice, but
every man that entered the ring was
master in his line of business, and we
can safely say better pleased audience
never left the portals of tent.
The show is credit to Mr.. Lee,
and he can rest assured that whenever
he returns to this vicinity he can count
rousing business. A noticeable fea-
ture was the absence of fakils of every
kind and description, and the gentle
manly appearance of everyone connec-
ted with the show" Remember this
show will positively appear in Snow
Hill on Saturday afternoon Sept. 29th,
and evening. Admission only 25c.

In regard TO the show, the Springfield
{ Mass. Press says:
lees Great London Shows which
exhibited on the Water street lot last
Wednesday afternoon and evening, was
one Of the best shows we have had here
for some years. They made an excel
lent street parade; everything looking
clean, new and bright, and with some
very pleasing features, new to the
ordinary circus parade. At the ground
everybody was treated with the utmost
politeness, and every attention paid to
make it as pleasant for the audience as
possible. The circus perfol nance given
in one large ring and on elevated stage,
was iirst-class in every respect, and far
ahead of the usual travelling show.
One of the principal features, and one
that pleased our country friends, was
the display of fine horses connected with
the show. We will be glad to welcome
the Lee show again at any time"
