Novel Lamp Shades.

An English electrical firm is in
PRODUCING some striking novelties
in electric lamp shades. These
shades are made of specially Sc
lected description Of. natural feath-
ers, dyed in choice tints, and ar
ranged in artistic shapes and COM
binations of color. Among other
beautiful designs OF shades for
floor and table lamps are the rep
reservations Of various kinds OF
flowers made separately and
grouped together on skeleton
frames. The result is an entire de-
parture from the hackneyed style
of silk and lace shades now in
vogue. The general construction
of the shades is protected by a
patent, and every design is regis
tered. 1t is a noteworthy fact that
the designer of nearly all the pat
terms is a young woman, who de-
rfves an excellent income from her
work,

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. News
comes this morning Of the lynch
ing Of six negroes in the northern
part of this county, two miles west
of Millington village, on the c. d
o. railway. For a year or more the
people of that part of the county
have been kept in constant

other buildings on the MiilingtOn
farms were destroyed. Suspicion
pointed to Dan Hawkins, Robert
Haynes, Warner Williams, Ed.
Hall, John Hayes and Graham

arrested near Kerrville, in the
western part Of the county, by
Deputy Sheriff Richardson. Later

ington, where they were to have a
preliminary examination before
a magistrate. The six negroes were
chained together. About midnight,
when the party was nearing Mil
lington, the wagon was stopped
by mob Of fifty men armed with
shot guns, who killed all the pris-
oners and remounting their horses,
which were tied near by, rode away
in the darkness. The lynchers

ENGLISH SENSATION,

Because Gladstone and Rich Baron
Contribute a Small Sum of Money.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Gladstone
Tweedmouth contribution of flO0
to the Irish parliamentary fund is
causing a sensation in political
circles. Baron TweedmOuth in
forwarding the contribution from
Scotland wrote Mr.. Justin McCar-

he had received a note from
Mr.. Gladstone enclosing check

Of the money, which is said to be
pouring into Irish Golfers, is going
to the evicted tenants. The Globe,
this afternoon, commenting upon
these contributions, says that a
double effect will be felt from
this subsidy: it will keep the
Parnelites in good temper and the
evicted tenants will become more
exasperated than ever. The Globe
also says: "If Mr.. Gladstone and
Baron Tweedmouth have taken
this. action without consulting the
premier or Sir William Harcourt,
it savours Of springing a mine
upon them"

ROMANCE OF A BALL GAME.
How a Young Couple, After Many
Attempts, Finally Eloped.

The old, saying that Glove laughs
at locksmiths," and the folks as
well, was splendidly demonstrated
in a sensational and highly roman
tic manner Friday evening. For
two years Miss Pink Riddle and
"Pouch" Rathbone, both Children
of most prominent and very
wealthy people in the neighbor-
hood of Elizabeth, Writ, county,
have been trying to get married.
They were of age but Miss Riddles
parents had sufficient control over
her to keep her at home, despite
her desire TO marry Rathbone.
About a week ago the last unsuc-
cessful attempt to elope was made.
1t was the fifth time in year that
they had been caught by Miss
Pink's parents, just as everything
seemed to be working nicely.
The girl was leaving the house
at midnight when watch
dog awakened her mother and
the elopement failed. But
the young people were not east.
~ daunted, land Friday succeeded in
getting away, and are now man
and wife. A game of ball was
played near Elizabeth between the
club from that place and the
Burning Springs team. The game
had been arranged purposely by
the boys to give Pouch and his
sweetheart chance to fool the old
folks. Pouch was the captain Of the
Elizabeth nine, and as people from
all the country round about at
tended, including Miss Riddle and
her parents, there was an excellent
chance for the grand coup. The
idea that Pouch might elope in his
baseball costume never entered the
heads of Miss Pink's parents, and
they gave her less attention than
usual.
During the game, after Pouch
had dropped out for an innings
rest, Miss Riddle left her parents
under some pretext, and joined the
handsome captain in an open bug
gy down the road and drove away.
The game went on uninterrupted,
none of the spectators knowing
anything was wrong. The players
were all on, however, and the con-
test was stretched out till dark.
About this time Mr.. and Mrs. Rid
die missed their daughter, and al
so Mr.. Rathbone. They telegraphed
to this city to have them intercept
ed, but this did not work, for Rath-
bone, suspecting something OF this
sort, drove around the city, and on
to Marietta, o., where the knot was
tied, "Pouch" making a handsome
bridegroom in his baseball suit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rathbone arrive d
here on the midnight train from
Marietta and put up at a hotel, to
wait until Mrs. Rathbone's pa
rents invite them to come back.
''Pouch" had gotten a new suit
and discarded his baseball toys,
and presented quite natty APP
pearance. They went home yester-
day and weremet by the towns
population. The courthouse was
turned into a banquet hall and
hundreds paid congratulations
and helped the merrymaking.
Mrs. Rathbone's parents relented,
and the people, nearly all Of
whom had at some time endeav
ored to aid the yeung people to

THE INCOME TAX.

1t now develops that large num-
Der of Democrats, who are friends to
the Income tax measure, at Washing
ton, are very uneasy lest the adoption
of the measure as part of the Will
son tariff bill shall have the result Of
defeating both measures. That il will
be offered as an amendment there can
be no doubt, provided recognition is
received from Chairman Richardson.
Some of the income tax men fear such
recognition may not be secured but 1t
is pointed out that both Chairman
Richardson and Speaker Crisp favor
the income tax, aud viii recognize
MIR. Mcmillan for the purpose Of offer
ing the bill as an amendment. There
seems little doubt an income tax will
be made part of the bill in the com
mlttee, as the Republicans will no
doubt be glad to see it 20 added, as
they believe it would result in the
adoption eff motion to reCommit
