brave man TO voluntarily acknowledge
the fact. This was proven here last week.
One questioned, seeing some of these

good thing. And another fact was also
pertnent-the confidence OF the colored
brother who ''knew all about it."
A DIFFERENCE.

five little, round. kinky heads. schoolward-
bound, will come: from the white mans
cabin one or two. and the rest of half a
dozen or more kept back by half indiffer-
ent parents. The cause is some where.
1t is like handling a burning question to
say the reason lies within the negro, and
yet there II is. So II the Walton law will
remedy this evil we'd better have annual

THE CRAZE FOR TILES.
Designs Which Will Adcrn the Homes oi Prominent Families.

Designs Which Will Adorn the Homes of Prominent Families.
 Fashions in tiles to the average man suggest little more than the latest things in the shape of hat, remarks Boston Sunday Herald writer. Yet tiles, those encaustic, vitreous squares, in blue, green and yellow, which adorn floors, walls and fireplaces gotten up regardless of expense, have come to be very fashionable things. Small for tunes are not infrequently expended by millionaires in tiling their rooms, and the designs they elaborate are at pres ent recognized as the best index of mans tastes.
 The rather personal tastes of Corne- Illus Vanderbilt are denoted by the por- traits in tile which adorn his new Fifth avenue palaces in New York. The tiling is highly elaborate in the smoking room, too, inlaid with cement and strikingly colored in yellow, orange, pale pink and blue. The designs are partly in mosaic. The historical por- traits and the quaint expressions of the faces have attracted much attention.
 The passion for tiles has resulted in the appearance of many new designs. These are usually prepared at the in- stance of the rich men and women who seem never content unless they are building a house. John Jacob Astor is no exception to this rule, and the house he is fitting up for his mother does credit to his taste in tiles at least. The designs are all pastoral or bucolic-. shepherds all and maidens fair.
 Rudyard Kipling has also caught the modern spirit, and an exquisite design in tiles which will soon adorn his Yer mont home shows just such subject as literary man would be in love with
 Romeo and Juliet There are others, too Indian gods and oriental temples. suggestive of the scenes amid which his fame was founded MT. Kip1ing has the reputation of possessing an un- usually correct taste In matters of house decoration. x President Cleveland has his house al- ready tiled to perfection. There is in the library representation of justice. scales, bandage on eyes, and pedestal complete. Inone WHY itsia possible to read the character Of any rich man by the nature of the tiles he has In his home. Lterarily inclined men are found to go in for histcricAl subjects and classical scenes; the artistic care more for color and intricaoy of detail, and the plain milltonaif fes wAnt somes

RARE AND BEAUTIFUL RUGS.
Whnderfui Exhibition of Artistic worI,
 manship From the Orient

| A Whnderful Exhibition of Artistic Work nanship From tho Orient.
 Probably the greatest exhibition of
 handsome rugs ever seen in this city
 can now be seen in the carpet depart
 ment of Malley. Nicely & Co. The ex-
 hibition will continue through to-day
 and tomorrow and those at all inter- ested In these beautiful creations from
 the Orient will be welcome to inspect

 can be had at the exhibition and if

 purchase the would-be buyer should
 place a check mark against the num-
 Der in the catalogue and call for 1t at
 any of the sales and 1t will be placed
 on the easel and sold without re- serve. .....,
 The beautiful rugs were made in Persia, India. Turkey and Russia.
 They were collected by the Syndicate Trading company of New York, who have agents in these countries con- stanS at work picking up rare rugs and sending them to the United States. They are exhibited by T. H. Solian of Anatolia, Central Asia Minor, who has devoted the best part of his life col lecting these rare rugs and is ac- quainted with their manufacture.
 The largest and rarest rug in the collection is 10 by IS feet and is SUD- posed to be between 400 and 800 years old. It is known as the Zelle rug. It is of great beauty of color and design and there Is romantic story con- nected with it that is explained in the catalogue. It was manufactured in Assyria and it's value is placed at 5000. Despite its great age its colors are undimmed. The process of dying this magnificent rug is now one of the lost arts It has been used in oriental palaces and has wonderful history.
 Another of the wonderful rugs is the one formerly used by royalty for prayer rug in mosque and has been in al silver case. It is a tenn pie design picturing the future Para disc The ground work is in camel's IldlI dHu luc CcHltdl IS d lIGt with twelve birds Of Paradise in its branches. The piece has been valued at s1.2O0. '' 'ff .i't'
 The sides of the exhibition room and the floor are covered with these beau- tiful rugs and the sight that meets the gaze of the visitor upon entering is one of marvellous beauty. There are several hundred of these works of real art and any Of them is worthy of study .~ " cl '*'-'i
 One of the rugs is known as the Empress of India carpet and there is but one other in America. One of the most valuable and superb Khorassan carpets ever brought out of the port of Constantfnople is among the collec-' ton. It is valued at $1, ,500. ,'-
 An antique Teheran rug is most ad- mired of all the royal wool rugs. exceedingly antique Circas- sian, Kurdish, Anatolian, Tram, Tehe- ran and Ispahan harem rugs represent the art, the skill and science of the oldest and most famous masters of the past centuries. ...
 No one who loves old and rare rugs should miss the opportunity of visit ing the exhibition and listen to the descriptions that MT. Solian will give. e..

The trees resemble somewhat our vigor-

Some are hardy as far north as where
