The Governor Appoints Three Men
Well Qualified to Fill the Position.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept. 10.
Last night Governor MacCork-
lie appointed the school book
board made necessary under the
provisions of the new text book
law, by reason of the refusal of
the American Book Company to
renew its contracts for readers,
spoilers, arithmetics and gram
mars in use in the free schools, at
the prices fixed by the act. The
board will consist of Prof. Thos.
S. Hodges, principal of Marshall
College, Prof. f. II. Crago, of
Wheeling, and ex-Governor A.
b. Fleming, of Fairmont. The
choice is regarded as excellent
here, all the gentlemen named
being splendidIy equipped topper
form the duty, which is to COM
plete the list of text books pro
vided for in the law, and which
the old contractors cannot fur
nish at the prices fixed. Hodges
and Fleming are Democrats and
Crago a Republican. Their com
pensation will be 81 per day for
each day on which they are nee
essarily employed.

ing thyself neither the tyrant nor
the slave of any man.
Maryland and Kentucky.
The election to be held this
fall in Maryland and kentucky
for Governor and other State of
ticers are causing unusal interest
among the people of our State,
one reason being that these two
States border on West Virginia,
and another is that they both
having always been largely Dem
ocratic, are now being claimed as
doubtful States. The fight in
Maryland is one based mainly on
the opposition to Senator German
and the Republicans are being
aided by the Baltimore Sun one
of the leading Democratic papers
of the State which is claiming
that Senator German dictated the
nomination of Hurst the Demo-
cratic candidate for Gov.
ernor against the wishes of a
large majority of the party. The
Suns fight against Mr.. German
is no new development in Mary
land politics as that paper has al
ways opposed him since his first
advent into political life. No
matter what may be personal
preiudices and dislike towards
Senator German in Maryland, the
people of this State and t. e en-
tire South, hold q warm place in
their hearts for him for the able
and successful manner in which
he brought about the defeat Of
the Force bill, the most iniquit-
Gus measure that was ever at
tempted to be thrust upon a free
people.
Hurst is an able and popular
man and it is believed that the
Democrats of Maryland will see
that he is elected by a good ma
iority. In Kentucky the fight
against Wat. Hardin, the Demo-
cratic nominee is being waged
because he is an avowed advocate
of the restoration of silver to its
former position in our monetary
affairs. Yet the convention which
unanimously nominated him,
knew his views on this question
just as we'll then as they do now,
and furthermore, the financial
plank in the State platform is an
absolute endorsement of that of
the Chicago Democratic platform
of 1892, which has always been
construed by many of the ablest
leaders of the party to mean the
restoration of silver. We have
no reason to doubt but what the
Democrats of Kentucky will unite
IN giving to their nominee an old
time Democratic majority, and
that both of these States will re-
main in the Democratic column.

The cigarette law is to be fully
tested and at once by four of the
leading firms of Wheeling, who
have been indicted for selling
cigarettes without paying the
$500 State license tax. The
decision by Judge Gof, of the
U. S. Court, will be used as their
defense, which will be made by
the cigarette trust. But the
trials will be before West Vir-
ginia State courts, and the cases
will undoubtedly go to the State
Court of Appeals. Sooner or
later, therefore, there will be an
adjudication of the matter that
will be final. In the meantime
the wise course to pursue is to
obey the law and not sell with
out paying the required license

advise q woman to turn rather to rrl6
wonderful effects that can be produced
with autumn silks.
Color is the keynote of them all.
Plaid silk is the winter analogue to the
plain serge or cheviot of the summer
golf links or woods trail. Striped silks
are recovering the popularity which
two years ago they seemed to have
wholly lost There are silks which ape
the peacock by their irridescence, and
silks red and black and brown and
gray, soberly going singly or combined
in startling ways. Pongee silks are
quite in the autumn mode. Dresden
patterns, similar to those so common in
ribbon weaves, are used in gown de-
signing. And very pretty, quaint and
old-times-like some of them are.
The art of dressing is becoming more
and more with every year the art of the
chemist, the dyer, the weaver, the de-
signer of fabrics. What beautiful ma
terials there are to choose from, what
tints, what weaves, what designs, what
almost floral display of chromatic tones
have been achieved the full opening

She Is a Creature Of Brown Fields and
Breezy EiHtops and Wears Golden Rod
and Blue Asters-Some Au-
tumn Gowns.
COPYRIGHT. 1898.


The early autumn is here in all the
country resorts, and the autumn girl
kmerges as if by magic from the lawns
md organdies, the mnslins and laces,
the shimmering stuffs and languishing
poses OF her summer state
The autumn girl is a creature Of the
brown fields and breezy hilltops. She
wears bunch of golden rod at her
belt and maybe some purplish blue
listers at her bosom; and her dress re-
minds one of the former rather than
the latter
She carries over into autumn her
goifing craze of the summer, and
tramps with flushed face-for if the
nights are autumnal. the days are still
summery-in a plaid skirt and sleeves
and a sailor collar, or close stock at
the throat.
Or she dons plain skirt of cheviot
with puffed sleeves of the same old
staple, and all down the front of the
bodice loose plaits of creamy chiffon.
Or with skirt reefed to the ankles,
showing her yellow leather leggings,
and with her hands gauntled in SIM
liar tints she walks or rides her wheel
indiscriminately. For the autumn girl
IS finding out that the same gown is
good to bike in and to walk in.
1t is particularly swell device this
autumn to gird the waist of a blue or
gray or brown dress with a snow white
hid belt, and white inner waist to
correspond. The white and the blue is
the prettier combination, but the
brown is distinctly in favor; and it
matches the golden rod better!
