How to Select BLACK SIX.

Even the more experience shopper
hesitates 10 trust her own judgment
when the buying Of a new black silk is
in question. Every one knows OF the
three principal complaints made against
ordinary black silk. FIRST, 1t is quite
likely to become greasy after a snort
period; second, it Is more than likely TO
cutin the folds after a few times wear
ing, and thirdly, one is fortunate II the
new dress does not crease in an almost
irrenmedial fashion.
Lately black silks have heen shown
dyed by some new process and free
from Injurious chemical action. In the
poorest silks the substance aud weight
are largely due TO foreign ingredients
blended with the dye. The only safe
way to pick out black silk Is TO make
sure beforehand Of a reliable make, the
name OF which will DE stamped along
the sewage every yard or so. 1t must
be of fine texture, rich, soft and lustrous
and incapable OF being crushed. To
determine this latter point rumple up
one end in the hand, and then see II
the creases disappear when smoothed
out.

As a matter OF Importance to the
peace OF the country, If not the pros
perity, il will seem TO many that In
stead OF placing q twO-cent tax on play
ing cards, Congress should have made
the rate high enough TO make unproht-
able the manufacture Of the fimsy
~pasteboards now sold, and that it
should also have required that cards be
made of material that even under the
strongest light would not be transpar-
ent. In q movement Of this kind in the
future Congress would no doubt be sup
ported by two well known politicians
that is provided a story told in the Tam
mauy Wigwam is true.
According TO one OF the braves, two
faithful allies of the tiger-the Tam
many tiger-were recently supposed TO
be ia a conference with eX-Chief Croker
at Saratoga, but in reality the three
were endeavoring to settle a dispute as
to the relative ability Of each in q poker
game. Both the politicians thought
Croker would be easy game, so each
fixed up a little scheme to make GER
tain his own success. The contest
took place in a summer hotel, and one
OF the men, being detailed TO engage a
room, took advantage Of the opportu-
nifty to work the old trick Of having a
| mirror placed in a corner to reflect his
adversaries' hands. The other bought
the cards, and is said to have secured q
pack that were Ike political trans
| p~arencies, II you understood the
scheme. The politician believed, of
course, that he had exclusive knowl-
edge Of the trick, and the other poll
tician was equally sure that no one
else had noticed the mirror. After an
hours playing, however, Mr.. Croker
had all the chips, and each Of his ad-
versaries wondered how it happened.
The explanation given in the Wig
wan is that, in sporting p%arlance, Mr..
| Croker was onto the game of both, and
| therefore had the advantage Of being
possessed of the secrets Of two, while
| each Of the others knew only his own.

Just after being nominated at the CHI
cago Convention, the trousers he wore
were warped and twisted as II they had
done duty in a hunting expedition dur
ing which Adlai had tucked his panta-
looms legs in his boots. His tailor had
evidently economical in the use OF ma
terial while making the entire suit; that
is, provided the outfit was from a tai
lor'S shop. There was a suspicion
among some, however, that 1t had once
been in a hand-me-down box, marked
For Sims" and that Mr.. Stevenson
bought 1t hurrledly when the new honor
was thrust upon hin and without even
taking the time TO try 1t on.
The Vice President has q tailor now,
and a good one, too, as the cut OF mis-
clothes indicated while ha was in the
metropolis recently on bis way TO join
his family al the seashore. His trous-
ers we're made TO correct the awkward
appearance of rather slim legs, and the
| frock coat was as properly made as the
Prince af Wales would want. The eff
feet was so striking that a politician at
the Fifth Aveune Hotel remarked as
the Vice President passed up Broadway
that Adlai hadn't cut out that suit OF
clothes with his own az. as 1t was
thought be might have done before the
campaign.
In hats for fall there are many novel
shapes, but for fashionable wear there
are none that are strikingly different
from those of last year. The bell shape
hat is still popular, with the crown a
little lower and the curl of the brim
slightly sharper, to distinguish it from
those worn before Easter. A derby
| with a wide band and receding crown is
regarded as the proper thing for young
men, and is one Of the most becoming
shapes produced. In tourist hats the
crown is made higher, the crease is in
tended to be smaller and the brim Is not
so wide as formerly. These changes,
although each is only slight, give the
hat a distinctive appearance that IL has
never before had, and are greater i'm
provements than hatters usually de-
wise.
An odd fancy is "a derby with a heavy
silk cord around the band. IT looks
something like the strings men wear on
their straw hats on d windy day, and is
about as ridiculous an invention as man
u~facturcrS bring out.

less element that made this end OF tho
State the most Stunned OF the entire
Commonwealth.
The halo OF romance, mixed with real
istic glory, that has been thrown about
the Kentucky ieud by imaginative AID
fanciful writer's has been entirely I'M
merited while wildly exaggerated.
There was never anything romantic or
glorious about them. For the most part
savage brutality and u~Dequalled treach-
cry were the prime features, hand In
hand with implacable hate and inherent
cunning. In all the feudal annals OF
Kentucky the plain truth that only re-
markable %barbarlty was exhibited stands
pre-eminent. Nine-tenths OF the kill
ings were done from ambush. No
treachery was too mean, too low, too
contemplate to meet the popular favor
OF
THESE HUMAN VAMPIRES.
Except when one side had undoubted
ODDS and the other no hope OF escape
an open fnish fight was not TO DO con-
sidered. Those men who boosted OF
their killings were human coyotes,
ready 10 spring upon ones back, but
more ready 10 sneak away al the FIRST
hint OF substantial aggression.
Glance down all the pages OF the
Kentucky vendetta and the history Is
one unbroken continuance OF this rule.
With possibly two or three exceptions
these ieuds were but merclless, ruthless
wars, waged upon victims VINO took up
arms only in defense OF home, family
and honor when sssaIled by oyerwhelm-
ing and relentless numbers. In most
instances the primitive cause was a
killing. though personal ambition and
a desire TO domineer over their fellow
man produced one or two OF
the most relentless leaders. The
ouarrels were always taken
up by friends on either side q a most
dlabolical system OF warfare resulted.
Kentucky feuds have been almost
without number, but those OF longest
duration, Of ferceE waging ard with
the largest lists OF victims are but seven
in number. These were the Turner
