Negro ShOt.-Sunday Afternoon Deputy
Sheriff Thompson arrested Musco Jackson,
colored, charged with shooting Jerry Maker,
celored. Maker is now at Fredman's Hos
pital, Washington, to be treated for his
wound, which is considered fatal. The
scene of the affair was small church at
Ounce Orchard. The shooting took place
about l O'Clock Sunday morning. Maker
and jackson became involved in dispute
about boy Maker had slapped. Finally
Jackson left the church, stating that he was
going, as he did not wish to get into any
further trouble. He was followed by Maker,
and told him he had better go back. Upon
Makers continuing to follow he drew his
revolver and shot, the bullet lodging In the
abdomen of the wounded man. DIR. Etchi-
son was called to attend him, and decided
that, as an operation was necessary, it was
hest to send him to the Freedmans Hospi-
tai. His physician entertains very little
hope of his recovery.

"One of the principal objects for which our
society was organized" says Mrs. Richie,

the land spirit of research into and study
of the past of the country, believing that
familiar knowledge of the men and events

be submitted to a committee Tor decision
upon their merits, and the award will be

The State Teachers Association will send
circular letter to the officers of the various
county school boards in the State informing
them of Mrs. Ritchie's offer, and'als asking
that the letter be read to the pupils of each
school in order that knowledge OF the offer
may be given to every pupil.
Mrs Richie intended that her offer should
be read to the teachers at the annual meet
ing OF their association last July at Deer
Park, but her letter, which was addressed
to Prof Charles f, Raddatz, president of the
association, was late in arriving. Prof.
Raddatz went to Europe two days after the
meeting and did not receive the letter until
his return to Baltimore. 1t had been fol-

Wells THAT ARE FASHIONABLE.

1t is now considered necessary to
wear veil on all occasions, and to be
really chic two should be worn-one
of dotted net, white or black, put on
close to the face, and another of chif-
fon or mousseline, put on loosely
around the hat and hanging in waving
folds. At present the plain brown is
considered the smartest of all, but
there are many pretty varieties in dark
blue with the embroidered dot. There
are also chiffon wells in the dark colors
which have white or black chenille
dots, and the plain white or black net
with the dots also are equally fashion
able. The sheer wells without dots
cave the skin somewhat from the dust
and sunburn, and they are made thin
enough not to be very warm, while
the fashion Of pinning them loosely
also helps to make it possible to wear
them in the very hot weather. Red
lace wells are occasionally seen worn
ON the broad shade hats-the old fash.
ioned tambour laces so fashionable
many years ago. Many OF these are
heirlooms, and have that soft yellowish
color that old lace carefully packed
away for years possesses, aud which it
is impossible to get by any artificial
coloring. -Harper's Bazaar.

Inventions Without Patents.

II you look back on the history OF
human progress you will find that none
of the great epoch making inventions
has ever been patented. The man who
lit the first fire, whether Prometheua
or the party from whom he stole the
idea, did not get patent for it.
Neither did the man who made the
first wheel--in every sense one of the
most revolutionary inventions in the
history of man. The same thing may
be said of the invention of soap. can.
dies, gunpowder. umbrellas and the
mariners compass, or, to come down
to our own day, OF the steam engine
and the electric telegraph.
There is a general notion that II You
did not protect inventions by means
OF patents. inventors would cease to
invent, and material progress would
come to astandstill. But history does
not bear this out in the least. Men
with great mechanical gifts do not ex-
ercise them solely with view to com.
mercial profit any more than astrono.

FASHION FANCIES.

v Daw, of the New York Press,
e have the broad hats, the full
neck ruching, the low twisted hair,
but each charmer affects one or an-
other of these fancies, and the charmer
is as you see.
In detail, the chapeau which should
think even wild Indian would recog-
nize to be modish, is of shrimp pink,
fine chip. Its trimmings are white
moline over shrimp pink moline,
knotted and twisted, to encircle the
crown. Two mercury wings are caught
lightly to the crown on either side at
the front. And white bird'of paradise
tails hutter a-down the crown and
brim ut either side. The cache .peigne
is of white roses without foliage, but
abounding in tender pinkish buds.
The bird of paradise craze is devel-
oping rapidly. Women who care at
all if they are the cause of inhicting
cruel deaths in the feather kingdom
will refuse to wear them, and ll.other
dead birds. But many women do not
mind at all; others will not take the
trouble to find it out. According to
advance hints, the next is to be a
"feather" season unless we, of the
bonnet wearing sex, refuse to decorate
ourselves with little corpses.
True. these already are upon the
counters, and those which yet will be
placed there for the fall trade are just
as dead as though no one, for humane
reasons, refused to buy them. But
never in the worlds history would an
other songster be slaughtered for dec
Grating women's hair il tie fair sex

combination. SO are those from pink

ART PALACE HALL-sTocKHoLM EXPOSITION.

assuming form, the situation OF the
exposition and the enthusiasm shown
by the Nationalities interested, all
make promise that the exposition will
be in every way q success.
1t is NO exaggeration to state that
the influence OF the Worlds Fair at
Chicago on the future expositions of q
similar nature IN Europe in an archi-
tectual sense can never be fully esti-
mated. OF the large expositions since
the Worlds Fair closed which have
taken place or are to take place in
Europe at future date-the Bor-
deaux, the Buda- Pesth, the Berlin. the
Mslmo, the Swiss, and now the Stock

artistic and architectural planning a
certain indescribable influence from
the white dream city OF 1898. while
still sdhering to each country's in
dividusl taste in art. In former

famous Of the American painters, and
they made the Prince the promise to
exhibit at Stockholm next summer.
The Prince also stated that he intend.
ed to visit the United States during
the fall to invite American artists and
owners of private galleries to exhibit
during the exposition. The Prince is
very democratic in his manners and
tastes, and, while he may visit New
port. he will expect to be received
only as private gentleman, frowning
on all attempts to make fuss and
feathers of his royal rank.
The exposition will also have po-
litical significance, as next year King
Oscar will celebrate the twenty-fifth
anniversary of his reign as ruler of
Sweden. The jubilee will be the oc-
casion of grand demonstration on the
part of the Swedes, and also by the
royal families of Europe, who have all
signi6ed their intention to visit
Stockholm during the jubilee period.
King Oscar has, of course, taken q
great interest in the exposition, both
as an artist and as the ruler Of the
country. As General of the
exposition, the King appointed Mr.
Arthur Letter, the royal Swedish Com
missioner to the Worlds Fair. The
President of the exposition Is Baron
Tamm, the Governor-General of
Stockholm, and the Secretary is the
we'll known journalist, Thore Blanche.
In the United States thousands of
Swedes are making arrangements to
visit Sweden during the exposition.
OF the societies going over, the most
important will be the Am arican Union
of Swedish Singers, of which Lyran,
of New York, and the Glee Club, of
Brooklyn, are prominent members.

Another important event of the ex-
position period will be the dedication
of the new Royal Opera House, mag
nificent structural pile, even in COM
parison with the Grand Opera House
in Paris. Stockholm has been called
the Venice of the North; and, in
truth, no capital in Europe is more
beautifully situated. The exposition
has been placed in the handsomest
part of the suburban park-like sur
roundings. In general view of the
Stockholm Exposition the beauty of
the location is at once seen. With its
two sea fronts, one on the Deergarden
Park Sound and the other on the salt
water of the Gulf of Bothnia, and its
charming continuance to the royal
park of the Deergarden, it will be not
alone an exponent of Scandinavian art
and industry, but also an exponent of
Swedish landscape nature for which
Stockholm is celebrated throughout
Europe.
The exposition will have two prin-
cipal entrances, one by the new boule-
yard over the Deergarden Bridge, and
the marine entrance from the harbor.
Coming in by the Deergarden en-
trance, a vast plsisance laid out with
lawns, fountains, and flower beds
meets the eye. Straight ahead in the
far distance is seen the picturesque
front of the Manufactures Building,
with its towers and dome. Broad
avenues cross the plaisance, leading
to the various places and buildings.
On terrace close by the idyllic sound
is situated the principal restaurant
building. Following the sound prom
enade to Framnas, the Fishery Build
ing is seen, and more suitable place
could not have been found. Built
partly IN the sound, it is surrounded
by pontoon bridge, forming charm
ing marine promenade. Further out
in the sound has been constructed an
artificial cavern on the bottom of the
sound, which will be one OF the great
attractions of the exposition. Descend
ing to the bottom of the cavern the
visitor will, through the electrically

lighted waters, through the windows
OF the cavern, obtain an insight into
the existence OF the fauna and the liv-
ing creatures of the deep.
The Art Palace will no doubt be
architectually the most beautiful of
the buildings. Erected ia Moorish
style, its marble-like walls reflected
in the grand canal at its side, with its
rich mural decorators, and the con.
trasting with its close neighbor, the
Machinery Hall, it will form an at
tractive architectural group. The in
