Simply Marvellous.

Never in the history Of their establish

finer display Of goods in their millinery
and ladies' suit departments than Is at

and the fair ones will do well to give
the house call before purchasing
their fineries for the Fall and Winter.
The display In the millinery depart
ment is especially worthy Of common
dalton. Some of the dainty pieces Of
headgear are marvellous in their con-
struction. Large hats, mostly of the
Gainesborough order, are. OF course. the
thing for this Fall. and the firm, as
usual, is right apace with the style. A

to literature, with fair success Indeed,
only two days previous to Olga Dobrou-
Ions visit a play OF his had been pro-
duced and well received by the critics.
The silence of the room was broken
only by the ticking of the clock and the
sobs of the kneelng woman. The latter
grew fainter after awhile, and Austen
was thinking he might approach and
offer some words OF comfort, when.
with a quick movement, Olga rose to
her feet. Her eyes were swollen with
weeping, but the expression OF her face
was calm.

with head erect. she passed out to
the staircase. and in a moment was
gone from his sight. Austen waited
until her footsteps died away, and then
slowly, thoughtfully returned 10 his
room
The first thing his eyes rested on was
the order OF the Nihilist chiefs that he,
Cecil Austen, should take the life OF
Ivan Bronski, the traitor. 1t was lying

moved towards the door. Austen fol-
lowed.

ing in his heart to speak kindly words
to this woman whose love he was
bound to reject. She interrupted him.
Say nothing to me except a last
good-by".
Sobs burst from her throat in a wild
torrent. Austen stood with the paper
she had given him still in his hand, look
ing, as he felt, terribly agitated. The
memory OF those few months he had
passed In Russia as an attache to the
British Embassy returned TO him. He
remembered the Ambassador ball. at
which he first met Olga Dobrouloff. He
had fallen in love with the surprisingly
beautiful girl at first slght-or at least
he believed II was love at that time.

read the account up. c. Robson found
the dead body OF a man lying under the
trees in Beech Walk, Hampstead. Great
reticence is maintained by the local
police regarding the AFFAIR. but our in
quiries have ELECTED the fact the the
deceased was shot through the head, the
course OF the bullet being from back to
front. The weapon has not been dis
covered. No one In the neighborhood
seems to have been disturbed during
the night. but this may be accounted
for by Beech Walk being a somewhat
lonely thoroughfare. The nearest
house to the scene of the murder is
fifty yards distant, From papers found
on the body 1t is believed that the muir
dered man is a Russian named Ivan
Bronski,
"A later report states that Bronski
has been identified by a woman as u
man who lodged in her house during

suit of which will be published in our

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. Is, 1881


RICHMOND, Va. Jan. Is, 1891
The people of Richmond are getting
very impatient about the delay in the
appointment OF a postmaster for this
CITY aud it is learned on excellent au-
thority that the citizens of West Point.
Manchester and Ashland are not 2 Bit
more contented than their big sister
city.
1t is learned on excellent authority
that Congressman Wise will take up
the matter OF postotfices with the de-
partment in about two weeks. Mr..
Wise is compelled al present 10 De in
his seat in Congress for he knows not
what moment his voice and vote will
be needed on the tariff question. As a
natural consequence he will not have g
chance TO look after postofice appoint
ments until after this important ques-
ton is settled.
1t is generally conceded that Captain
W. H. Cullingsworth will certainly be
appointed to succeed Mr.. Russell. OF
Richmond. The great plum pudding
democrat is patiently awaiting MS turn
TO step in. He only has one oppo-
nent.
IN Manchester it is quite different,
there being not less than nine appli-
cants for the position. Mr.. William G
Owens is the latest addition 10 the list.

backing is Of the gilt edge order.
