MONTGOMERY DEMOCRATS.
Senator Daniel and Major Otey Speak at
n Big Barbecue-No Apathy.

BLACKSBURG, VA. October 3l.-(Spe-
cial)-The Democrats Of this county held
an immense barbecue here to-day. Major
Peter j. Otey and Senator John W. Daniel
were the orators Of the occasion. More
than COO people were present and enjoyed
to the fullest extent the magnificent din
ner that had been prepared, and which
was served without stint near Houstons
spring. in a lovely grove. just one mile
from the town. Neither of the gentlemen
spoke long but each held the attention
OF his audience. Both are too well known
to call for especial comment Suffice IL TO
say that each maintained his high reputa-
ton. There were present people from all
over the county, among them quite Il
goodly number OF Republicans. From the
scene to-day one would say We need fear
nothing from apathy.

BANKRUPT STEAMBOAT COMPANY.
The Boston, Beverly and Salem Line Suspends
Business.

BosroN. Sept. 2G. w. "A. McCrillis, the
manager of the Boston, Beverly and Salem
Steamboat Line, has disappeared from
town, leaving behind such a disorganized
coldition of affairs in the company, that its
b pats have been libelled and its business
stopped. The steamers of the line were
the Portsmouth, Philadelphia, S. f. Spring
and Baltimore. The Portsmouth was
wrecked, recently. The others are now
tied up at wharves in Beverly. The
Spring is the property of the company.
The Ph'ladelphis and Baltimore are the
property of Marks and Psrmenter, Troy,
N. Y. The Troy boats were chartered by
McCtillis and the attachments will not hold.
Even the cilice furniture was encumbered
and the sum 10 BE- realized by the creditors
will be small. Nearly $4,000 is owed locally
for coal and wharfage. McCrillis was
formerly connected with the Suffolk Trust
Company that suddenly collapsed some
years ago owing to failure TO realize on
Western mortgages.

Tailor made dresses are smartened up as
much as 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 pretty kind of
silk, with chine flowers. 1t is very pic
turesque.
A serge outdoor coat, with white MORO
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 deereed that
some of the new skirts at least shall be
buttoned down one side, and under this
new regime no longer is it necessary to
endure that painful parting of skirt from
bodice which erstwhile disgraced so many
of the fairest costumes in summer, and be-
sides having this advantage the skirt but
toned down one side is distinctly smart.

Electrical Muscle Making.

Some recent scientific experiments
which, according to The Electrical World,
can doubtless be trusted show that the
weight of muscles of animals was increas-
ed 40 per cent by proper periodic applica-
tion of an electrical current, the growth
being a true development of the muscle.
According to this, it will now be possible
to increase to order the size of any desired
muscle without tiresome gymnastic exer
cises by simply lying in q soft chair and
having the current applied. This, 1t is
suggested, might be done at night by an
automatic apparatus, thus saving time.
Persons who are improperly developed
may now be balanced or 'trued up;" mus
cles shrunken by age may be made plump
again. Calves which nature or exercise
has failed to develop sufficiently will now
no longer be drawback to wearing knee
breeches or the short bloomers of the fe-
male bicyclist. The question naturally
suggests itself, What will happen if this
process of developing muscles electrically
is continued still longer2 If some way is
then found to develop the homes the man.
ufacture Of giants by electrical means will
be an easy matter.

When willow or rattan chairs have be-
come soiled or discolored by age, they may
be tinted In sixteenth century style with
burnt sienna, or burnt sienna and van
dyke brown mixed, and then thoroughly
Vanished. Nearly all chairs of this Kind
are now tinted, enameled or painted In
plain colors, so that the prevailing style
may be closely followed and the old chairs
renewed and freshened at the same time,
according to The Decorator and Furnisher,
which advises the following treatment for
wicker chair: First carefully remove all
dust from the crevices; then apply the
paint or varnish with long haired brush
that will carry it into all the intersticcs,
as it Is necessary that every portion of the
uneven surface should be well covered. A
coat of good varnish over one or two care
fully applied coats Of paint will give q
chair almost the appearance of having been
enameled. Willow chairs look we'll simply
stained, as tho soft texture Of tho wood
admirably adapts 1t to receive such a
finish, but rattan will not take q stain
upon its glossy surface and must therefore
be painted or enameled or finished in the
sixteenth century style.
