The New Years Novelties for Ladies

With the beginning Of the year appear
novelties OF Russian effects and modern
adoptions Of the first Empire; the latter
being undoubtedly suggested by recent
revival of the Napoleonic studies which
makes its influence felt into literature, on
the stage and even In art. Thus elegant
opera wraps are frequently made with
Empire Jokes and voluminous Renais-
sance sleeves. The draperies already
announced are being developed into many
original effects, indoor gowns being In
auenced by those Of the peplum descrip-
ton. The dress skirt is becoming wider
at the bottom, and the sleeve also more
voluminous. Bodices at the present mo-
ment, are taxing all the inventive genius
Of the art dressmaker by being suscepti-
BILE OF every conceivable novelty In trim
ming and material. There has never,
also, existed such rage as the present
one for fur and ermine above all. Some
original designs OF collarettes In real
Louis XIII style-drooping at the Shout
ders, and very flat-are being popular
among the new modes. These various
movements indicated in the toilettes OF
the mothers are closely copied by the
fashions in girls dresses and even In
the costumes OF very little ones them
selves. In extracting these instructive
items from the latest Mcdowell Fashion
Journals we notice that the handsome
publications still maintain the high stand
ard OF their former excellence and con-
tain besides new features of special inter-
est. They are invaluable for their practl-
cal advice to dressmakers and Amateurs.

THE French Dressmaker" is S3 per
annum or 30 cts. a copy. AS for LA

Prize Fight.

Two brutes known throughout
the world by the name of Corbett
and Mitchell succeeded last Thurs
day in having a prize fight under
the auspices of the Duval Athletic
Club of Jacksonville, Florida, des-
pite the strenuous objection of the
governor of that state, in which Cor
bett defeated the Englishman on
three savage rounds of nine min
utes duration, thereby proving his
claim to the championship of the
World. The only thing to be re-
GREETED in this fight is, since it was
bound to occur in defiance of the
laws of that or any other state is
that it was not Of only one rounds
duration and both killed their man.

Amendment Figures.

The Owosso Press hits the state
canvassing board rather a hard blow
in an article headed "Turn the
Rascals Out" Some of our Repub-
lican journals would lose nothing
by giving the article, found below,
q careful perusal:
The story told by Gov. Rich to a
Tribune representative at midnight
last Wednesday and the result of
the recanvass of the election returns
are sufficient evidence to force any
intelligent, fair-minded person to
believe the board Of state canvassers
guilty of rascality in connection
with the salary amendment which
it certified to as passed at the cleo
ton last spring.
The facts, briefly stated, are as
follows Secretary of State Jo-
chin, State Treasurer Hambitzer
and Commissioner Of the Land Of
flee Berry constitute the state board
Of canvassers. After canvassing
the returns of last springs election
these three canvassers, Jochim,
Hambitzer and Berry certified that
the amendment raising the salaries
of certain state officers had been
carried by majority of 1921. The
recanvass shows that the salary
amendment was defeated by ma
jority of 1850. In other words
the returns were falsifed to the ex-
tent of 1875 votes and the salary
amendment officially declared car
ried.
It is a very significant coinci-
dence, too significant to be the re-

The Puzzled Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most nauseous
and disgusting ills the flesh is heir to,
and the records show very few or no
cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh
by any Of the many modes Of treatment
until the introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm few years ago. The success OF
this preparation has been most gratifying
and surprising. No druggist is without

A Relic Of Old London.

One of the most interesting relics of
old London is st. Johns gate, Clerken-
well, which, because it does not hap
pen to lie in one of the main arteries
of the big city, is not so we'll known,
even to Londoners, as it should be. 1t
is the only remaining portion of the
important Priory Of st. John, which
dates from the fourteenth century. The
old gateway has literary interest at
tached to it, for in the room above the
archway DR.. johnson worked for Cave,
the printer, for a small weekly stipend;
and the Gentleman's Magazine, which
to this day hears picture of the arch
way on it's cover, was first printed
here. The archway had latterly be-
come much defaced and weather-worn,
but it has recently been restored as
memorial to the duke of Clarence, who
was first sub-prior of the Order of st,
John. The order as now revived en-
braces the st. John Ambulance associ-
alton and is busy in other good works.

SUICIDE IN EUROPEAN ARMIES.
startling Official Statistics from the Rec
ords Kept In Germany.

ords kept In Germany.
Startling are the official statistics
that have just been published in Ger
many concerning the number of sui
cides in various armies of the Old
World, and they constitute striking
illustration of the unpopularity of OBJ
ligatory military service. 1t seems
that in Austria the average rate for
the year is l31 per 100000 men. The
French come next, with 90 suicides per
annum for each 100,0 900 men. The Ger
man government gives its rate at 6S,
but these figures are generally believed
to be below the actual number, as the
impression prevails in military circles
throughout Europe that the suicides
in the German army are more frequent
even than in that of Austria. Italy's
quota is given at 45, while that of Rus
sia does not exceed 20, a figure that is
obviously far below the truth. Bel
gium gives it's rate at "a, Spain at IA,
and England at 23, most of the suicides
in the British army occurring out in
India. A remarkable fact is that, not
withstanding the majority of suicides
are popularity believed to be attribute
BILE to tyranny on the part of the Off
GERS, yet it is precisely among the Off
GERS that the largest number of self-in-
flicted victims is to be found. The
favorite method of suicide is by shoot
ing, either with rifle or with re-
volver. Next comes drowning, and
after that hanging, while of late a
large number of officers and men have
taken their lives by throwing them
selves in front of railway trains 1t
has also been noted that, whereas the
smallest number of sui cides takes place
in winter, the largest number occurs
in the broiling hot months of July and
August

The three co 'ored Representatives in
the Ohio Legislature claim that if Roscoe
Parker had been white, he would never

great preponderance OF mob law finds
colored victims. In the South, this is
especially so. We are not inclined, how
ever, to believe the color line had any
thing to do with this deplorable affair
If Roscoe had been white, his fate would
probably have been the same. great

hangs over the legal execution of pun.
ishment. There are so many unneces,
sary delays, so many trivial technical
tiles and so many ways in which the ac.
cused may escape otherwise than on the
merits of his case, that, in the event of
particularly aggravated butcheries, like
that at Winchester, the people are
strongly tempted to take the execution
of the law into their own hands, and
make sure work of it. After a murderer
has been sentenced to hang, it not un.
frequently happens that his sentence is
commuted, and in few years a pardon
sets him free again Such was the case
with the brutal McCoys, who committed
a deliberated, Outrageous murder at
Haverhill, Scioto county, few years
ago. They ought both to have been
hanged, and, if the people had known
that, in two or three years they would
be pardoned by Governor Campbell and
set loose to run their doggery and gam.

these murderers would have dangled
