Strange Appearance of a Man Who Was
Anxious About Himself.
He stood before his front gate and
looked anxious.
ST beg your pardon, - he said to the
first pedestrian that came along, "but
will you tell me if my necktie is on
right?''
"Well, yes,'' replied the pedestrian.
cit is ON fairly well, and I should judge
it was securely tied, but it is back side
to-
''Thank you,'' replied the anxious
looking man as he turned his necktie
over. SIS my collar all right?''
"Well, yes. The collar seems sound
and clean,' said the pedestrian, ''but
you have it on upside down, that's all. "
'"Thank you again." said the anxious
looking man. ''Are the rest of my
clothes all right?''

eyes, see. Anything else?"
"Oh, nothing special, but I noticed
when you arranged your necktie that
you had forgotten to put on your shirt!'
81 am SO glad you told mo before I
go into the house for one. Please tell
me if everything else is all right. -
"Well, opinions differ somewhat in
regard to the proper details of men 8
dress, but personally think it is better
to button the first button on ones vest
into the first buttonhole rather than
into the fourth, as you have done. l
think it is better, too, when one combs
his hair in the morning, to leave the
comb in the combcase rather than
in ones own hair, as you have
done. I also think that it is better,
when one is fortunate enough to have
| good set of false teeth, to put in
both the upper and lower sets and not
merely the upper tier, as you have done
| I think, too, it is better form to have
ones suspenders securely buttoned rath-

81 am sure 1 thank you sincerely, -
said the anxious looking man, and a
| mixed sad and sweet smile crept over
| his face. ttYou see, while my wife is
| away on her summer vacation have no
one to tell me whether I get my clothes

| great favor, and shall always remem-

A Tooth Lined Coffin.

There is no accounting for taste. A
dentist died in rural town in England
few days ago after spending over so
years in pulling the molars of his fell
low citizens. He had made it hobby
to keep all the teeth which he had
drawn in the course of his professional
career and took great pride In the collec
ton. When his will was opened, it was
found that he had ordered the colleo-
ton of teeth to be placed with him In
his coffin for burial. His heirs fulfilled
his command. and almost 80, 900 teeth
were put into the coffin with the dead
dentist. If some archeologist Of fu-
ture century shall happen to open that
grave, he will have flood for thought"
and some difficulty perhaps in explain
ing the presence of SO many teeth

The Egg Question In Hotels.

The egg question in hotel that
laughs at expense in the endeavor to Sc
cure for its guests what is more than
palatable has the closest attention. For
the most part the middle man operates
here, though the eggs do not lie on his
hands long. Among many hotels have
failed to find one that uses any but war
ranted eggs, and even these are broken
by skilled assistants separately before
they are used by cook or baker, for
one faithless egg can wreck gallons of
soup or cake galore. In the Holland
House this incidental duty means the
breaking of So, 900 worth of eggs every
month. Never less than 100 dozen are
used per day. The Marlborough hotel
averages 200 dozen every day. During
the Worlds fair the Palmer House
reached the average of 600 Dozen

THE TARIFF.
Some OF the Benefits to be Dsriy, d
from the New Law

OAAA eAAC ItcW LAW.
Vice President Stevenson
BY the new tariff law more than
one hundred articles, highly taxed
under the Mckinley law, are placed
upon the free list. l will detain YOU
to enumerate but a few of them.
The tariff tax is now wholly removed
from lumber, from salt, from binding
Irvine. from chemicals, oils. and
paints. Under the Mckinley law the
tariff tax on coal was seventy five
CENTS per ton; the new law has re-
duced the tax for forty cents per ton.
Upon l. on ore the reduction is the
same. While | earnestly desired the
entire abolition OF tariff taxes upon
these necessary articles, yet it is a
matter of congratulation that we
have beea enabled to thus reduce the
tariff almost one-half This is a long
stride in the right direction, and it
must not be forgotten that bills
passed the House of Representatives
just before the Adjournment of the
late session OF Congress placing iron
and coal upon the free list.
A Democratic Congress has given
+ to the country free wool. The i'm
portance of this, both to manufac-
turer and consumer, cannot be over
stated. More than that, the wooden
schedule is reduced more than one
half. Under the Mckinley law the
average tax upon wooden goods vas
nlnety-eight per cent, while under the
new law the average tax is but FORTY
eight per cent, reduction as have
stated OF more than one half. This
Is an important step in the right
direction. 1t is indeed a long step in
the direction of commercial enamel
patton.
| Another prime article of necessity
I allke IN palace and cottage is salt.
The tax upon salt in bulk under the
Mckinley law was eighty-two per.
cent. A Democratic Congress has
wholly abolished this tax-and this
article of human necessity is now
upon the free list. Do you desire
this tax restored?
One of the wisest and most bene.
ficient provisions of the new tariff
law is that placing lumber upon the
Tree list. 1t has for years been a
standing reproach to the American
congress that upon every foot OF
lumber used in the erection of farm
mouse, barn, or cottage, a tariff tax
was levied. The people demanded
the repeal Of this, one OF the greatest
lpiquitives of the Mckinley law. 4
Democratic Congress has promptly
responded to this demand, and youI
houses, cottages, and barns can now
be built with untaxed lumber. You
need not be told how greatly this
will lessen their cost. It's estimated
that the section OF the bill providing
for untaxed lumber alone will an
nually save fifty millions of dollars
to the people of the United States.

How Anziety Can Turn Hair Gray.

Numerous theories have been adj
RANGED to account for the rapid turning
gray of the hair during violent emotion.
Robinson. in his book on q Badness and
Grayness, mentions the name of per-
son whose hair had become quite gray
in single night. The hairs under mi
croscopical examination were found to
contain number of air globules. It Is
probable that these are developed with

table condition Of the nervous system
air globules may be generated in the
hair in brief space of time, and in this
we have the cause of the sudden blanch-
ing of the hair

A KNOWING BEAR.
Eats the Bait and Breaks the GU
That Was Tiled to XIII Him.

From the Beaufort Herald
A subscriber tells us an interesting
story about bear at Smyrna, liz
this county, that has killed consid
cradle number of hogs. Sunday
night five guns were placed on rests
with muzzles pointing towards 8
dead hog the bear had killed near a
swamp. An arrangement with which
we ere not familiar, was fixed SO
that when the bear began eating the
hog the guns would fire and he would
thereby cause his own death.
Bruin in this instance seemed to be
somewhat smarter than the ordinary
bear that ends his life in this manner.
He not only went and ate up the hog
but took one of the guns and broke
the stock into pieces. 1t is said that
the man whose gun was broken, was
SO mad that he actually crieH.
From the latest reports we hear
that the bear had not been killed.

Fashion Echoes.

Tailor made dresses are smartened up as
much possible. A charming example
is q brown coat, with deep basque and
straight lines of braiding secured with a
button at one end. Beneath this is a long
brocaded waistcoat in a pretty kind Of
silk, with chine flowers. It is very pic
turesque.
A serge outdoor coat, with white MORE
revers and shaped collar, is adorned
throughout with a handsome braid in
gold, black and silver.
Black and white all black and black
intermixed with color still find great
popularity among good dressers. 1t ap-
pears to have been formally docreed that
some of the new skirts at least shall be
buttoned down one side, and under this
new regime no longer is 1t necessary to
endure that painful parting of skirt from
bodice which erstwhile disgraced SO many
of the fafrest costumes in summer, and be-
sides having this advantage the skirt but
toned down one side is distinctly smart.
A revival of Irish poplins for winter
dresses and for skirts to be worn with sep
arate waists is predicted, Americans in
London having taken them into favor.
The name of the siren on whom Mr..
Vanderbilt has been lavishing his money
in Paris Is Nellie Neustreuter, who is
known equally well In London and Paris
as Fat Nellie. She is buxom, good look
Ing woman, apparently about 80 years old,
always superbly groomed and with a DASH
ing manner that attracts men who are not
particular about making acquaintance a
long way from home.
San Francisco newspapers have con-
|, founded Mr.. Vanderbilt's inamorata with
Nettie Neustatter, western woman of
uncertain antecedents, who is now in New
York and processes to be preparing for the
stage.
Ward McAllister, who has just returned
from Europe, is skeptical concerning the
Willie Vanderbilt stories, although he Is
not on friendly terms with the family.
The McAllisters, however, have little
scandal of their own on tap at present
and are living In glass house. He says:

The Very Latest Idea In Coats.
Broad license is allowed in the selection
of gowns, hats and wraps. Never were
there so many shapes, colors and textures
to help woman in carrying out her own
ideas, and every woman should be instinc-
lively drawn or repealed by shape or a

note for dress if she will only listen to it.
She may adapt the fashions to herself in
stead of herself to the fashions, making
them part of her individual style.
Felt hats are already showing them
selves for fall wear Most of them have
indented crowns and the brims rather
broader than formerly. The soft brown
and tan shades are much the prettiest.

THE CITY ELECTIONS
The Winners Pretty Much Divided
Between the TWO Tickets.
SOME VERY SMALL MAJORITIES.
The Republicans Elect Their Mayor and
Three OF the CounciImen and
Majority of the School Board.

Tuesday was the day on which the voter
Of this city cast their vote by wards and
under the new election law. Of regis
tratioA of 598, which by the way is about
800 short of our full capacity, 478 votes were
cast.
The election passed off quietly. No dis
turbanees or noisy electioneering being
noticed, thanks to the Australian election
law.
Itwss well contested fight and no can
didate, with the exception of Constable
Clark, can claim an overwhelming major
ity. The Republicans elected mayor, JUS
tico Of the peace, treasurer of the school
board, three councilmen and four members
Of the board of education. The Citizens
elected police judge, city treasurer, con-
stable, three councilmen and one member
of the board Of education, and as Frank
Holland was on both tickets for member OF
the board of education from the Third
ward neithertparty claim him, both concede
shat be was elected on his merits.
Altogether it was somewhat of sur
prise party as the Citizen ticket was looked
upon, generally as a winner, but in politics
as we'll as In other things, ''the best laid
plans of mice and men, oft gang aglee."
The officers elected are conservative and
cool-headed men, who will no let prejudice
run of with. their judgment, but will di-
rect the affairs of the city to the satisfaction
of the majority of the people. The tabula-
ted vote will be found in another column.
