In the audience were requested to write
questions upon slips OF paper. to which

by whom they were written kept thom in
their hands. Seated on the stage, blind

written the question, then told what was
asked and last answered the question.
Up to this timo the paper had remained in

A STUDY IN HANDKeRCHlEFS.

Their Use Began In Venice Only Little
More Than Three Hundred Years Ago.
An interesting historical study ON the
pocket handkerchief has appeared in a Ger
man magazine. 1t appears that mankind
Is indebted to Italy for the introduction of
that modest but Indispensable accessory
to civilization. According to the writer,
the use of the pocket handkerchief was
unknown in society until the first half of
the sixteenth century.
About the yenr 1910 an unknown Vene-
tian lady first conceived the happy idea of
carrying a "fazzoetto and it was not
long before her example was widely fol-
lowed throughout Italy. The handkerchief
then crossed the Alps into France, where
Its uso was Immediately adopted by the
lords and ladies of Henry lis court
The handkerchief Of that period was an
article of tho greatest luxury. 1t was
made OF the most costly fabrics and was
ornamonted with the rarest embroideries.
In tho reign of Henry III 1t began to be
perfumed and received the name of "mou-
choir de Venus" 1t was not until 1880
that the handkerchief made its way into
Germany, and then its use was long con-
fined to princes and persons of great
wealth. 1t was made the object Of sump-
tuary laws and an edict published at
Dresden in 1895 forbade its use by the
people at large.
Slowly, but surely, however, tho vulgar
ization of the pocket handkerchief has
been accomplished, and today even the
humblest is superior in one important re-
spect to Petrarch and Laura, Dante and
Beatrice, who, IL is somewhat painful to
think, lived In prehandkerohief age

In an authorized interview Captain Kolb
said: ~ shall stay here with my cabinet

OF Alabama. i shall issue messages to the
Legislature; shall recommend legislation
and call upon the legislature to pass a con-
test law, and If they do not 1 will convene
an extra session after they have departed.

state government, which has been en-
trusted to my care by the voice Of the peo-
pie ut the polls OF will bite the dust in
the attempt.
II have twice been elected governor, and
believe that the people who elected me
Will insist upon 1t If it has to be obtained
by revolution. There were zoo, 600 Of my
friends In the city Saturday, who would
nave fought at my command. I advised
against bloodshed, because first wish to
exhaust every peaceable means to gain the
desired end. l withdrew from the state
house grounds Saturday because / saw
that II had spoken and been arrested my
followers would have resisted by force of
arms, and innocent lives would have been
sacrificed in the struggle"
Speaking OF his opponent Governor Oates
said: "As long as he contents himself
with merely calling himself governor !
Will humor him and pay no attention to
him, but If he attempts to establish dual
government, to send messages to the legis-
iature signing himself governor, and in
terfering in public affairs will put stop
to it. The very first step in the direction

lately, and l will arrest every man en-
gagged in 1t.

shall recommend the passage of contest

the kolbites, and think it will be passed
1t cannot in the very nature OF things be

investigate Kolb's election, because the
session of the legislature is limited by the
constitution to fifty days. and it will have
adjourned before the investigation could

Mr. Manning, a Populist member of the
legislature, declared that the Kolbites will
exhaust all peaceful means, and then, IL
necessary, resort to revolution to secure
control OF the state government. More
