THE MOoysHINER or FACT.
He is Vastly Different From the Wild Crea-

ture Pictured.
(From Lippincotts Magazine.)
He is neither bandit nor highway
man, disturber of the peace, nor, in
respect to formularies other than the
revenue statutes, a lawbreaker. Least
of all, perhapsis he desperate. With
in a month of the present writing a
traveller on one Of the Tennessee rail-
ways entered the smoking car of the
train In the rear seat sat an officer in
charge of covey" of moonshiners
flushed by him on the mountain the
night before. There We're twelve in the
party. They had yielded without re-
ttsistance to one man, and, most singu-
lar circumstance of all in the south, the
deputy had not found it necessary to
put them in irons.
At their trial the members of this
party will doubtless plead guilty to
man, though a little hard swearing
would probably clear half of them;
they will beg for mercy or for light sem
fences, and those of them who promise
amendment will most likely never again
be brought in on the same charge, for
the mountaineer is prone to keep his
promises.
A venerable judge, in whom judicial
severity is tempered by generous adj
mixture of loving kindness and mercy,
and whose humane decisions have made
his name a word to conjure with among
the jewellers in the waste places, tells a
story which emphasizes the promise
keeping trait in the mountain character.
A hardened sinner of the stills, whose
first and second offenees were already
recorded against him, was once again
brought to book by the vigilance of the
revenue men. AS an old offender, who
had neither promised nor repented, it
was likely to go hard with him; and he
begged not for liberty, but for a COM
mutation of his sentence which would
send him to Jail instead of the peniten-
tiary, promising that SO long as the
judge remained upon the bench he
would neither make nor NEEDLE with

judge let him off for just ten days?
Winter was coming on, and the wife
and children were alone in the cabin on
the mountain, with no one to make pro-

FASHION NOTES.
Cotton Used, If 1t Is Not King,

Cotton Used, If 1t Is Not King,
Perhaps it should be whispered, but it
should be known, at any rate, that even
the luxurious dressers do not wear silk
stockings to the exclusion of other
sorts. The truth is that silk stockings
do not wear well under walking shoes
and even the SWEETEST dresser does some
promenading. Silken stockings she al
ways wears in the house and on dress
occasions, but there are many times
when her pretty pink feet are covered
by the humble cotton. The latter, by
the way, makes an exceedingly soft and
comfortable footwear, it clings almost
as well as silk, in the expensive quail
ties it comes modelled for small ankles
and narrow heels, it holds the color
well, and wears better than isle So
don't be proud! take comfort in the fact
that Miss Vanderbilt had some cotton
stocking stockings in her trousseau and
lay in stock. Better cotton stock

ten-mile walk than a pretty silk one

the toe at the first or second wearing.
Crepon weayeS are behaving like the
Phoenix. They were so favored last
year that it seemed as if women must
tire of the crinkly stuffs, no matter
how novel the twists We're that were
given TO them, as if, in short, the goods
had killed itself fashionabIy through
excess of popularity. But now the en-
terprising shopman will show you new
crepons that are as expensive as the
best of the old sorts, their price alone
being an assurance that they are ap-
proved by careful dressers. From one

The pith of corn is to take the place
of cocoanut fibre, which has been used
i'm the construction of war vessels to
close vents below the water line by its
swelling properties when it becomes
wet. This corn-pith cellulose, which
was invented'by Mark w. Marsden of
Philadelphia, is to be used for Golfer
dams in the new American battleships
Kearsarge and Kentucky. 1t is incom-
bustible and is laid in solid blocks in
side the frame of the ship to resist the
penetrating power of projectiles as well
as. to stop any leakages which may
be oceasioned by shots. Naval experts
claim that a layer of this cellulose
three feet thick is equal to a coat of
steel arrnor six inches thick, and will
cost only about one-teulth the price,
but will be of as much protective value
as thousand tons of steel.

The well-informed Honolulu CORE
spondent of the Washington Star has
a few words to say, I'M his latest let
ter, about the ex-queen, Mrs. Dominis,
apropos of the interest taken in her
cause by the lottery men and the sport
ing class generally. ''She is not really
so bad" he writes, as they seem ito
believe her. She is not an abandoned
woman, but claims much responsibility,
and many reputable friends claim high
character for her. She is a person OF
very mixed character, and with a very
imperfectly trained conscience. She
has much more of the ancient healthier
ideas of right and wrong than is COM
patible with civilization or Christian

MIR. GAssER STILL A DELEGATE.
City Committee Denies Mr.. Mere
Jith's Appeal.

The City Democratic Committee held a
meeting at the Powhatan Club last night,
Chairman Marion l.. Dawson presiding.
Mr. C.. V. Meredith appeared before the
body, by special permission, and stated
that he had seen that the committee had
awarded one of the certificates to dele
gates from the Third Precinct Of Jackson
Ward to Mr.. q. NJ. Gasser, who was
clerk Of election at that voting place.
Mr. Meredith explained that the name or

by mistake, and mat gentleman was

gate. and could not have been elected If
no had been in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the plan. being one Of the
officers Of election. Mr.. Meredith, in con-
cuslon, stated that he did not know
whether Mr.. Gasser was a silver or a
sound-money man, but thought in all
fairness the committee should either
award the certificate of election TO the
Mr. Gasser whose name IL was intended
should have been on the ticket, or 10
Mr.. Blackburn, who was the third man on
the ticket.
This brought about a general discus
sion OF the merits OF the case in which
1t was stated that although Mr.. Gasser
was a clerk, he tod every voter who
came 10 the polls that he was not a
candidate, and then beat Mr.. Blackburn.
There was some talk Of reconsi1ering
the previous action Of the committee and
throwing out the entire precinct and or
dering a new election, but the committee
refused to reconsider.

A STEAMBOAT WAR.

Go. Against the Bay Line.
SOUTHERN AND sEABOARD r.. RS.
These Involved in the Fight, the
Result of Which May lie n New
Before Long.

BALTIMORE, May 2S.-There promises
to be a steamboat war between the Balti-
more, Chesapeake and Richmond Steam
boat Company and the Baltimore Steam
Packet Company, better known as the
old Bay Line. The Southern railway ana
Seaboard Airline railroad will also be
more or less involved.
Some time ago the Southern railway
which works in harmony with the BATH
more. Chesapeake and Richmond Steam
boat Company, announced that 1t pro-
posed to establish new line of steamers
between Baltimore and Norfolk and Ports
mouth, Va. This line would cover exact
ly the same route as is now served by
the Baltimore Steam Packet Company
Daytime steamers.
The Daytime people, working in con-
junction with the Seaboard Airline, soon
found a way of retaliating for what they
considered an invasion OF their territory,
and, IL is stated, have about completed
arrangements for a steamboat line TO
West Point and Richmond. thus going
into the territory now covered exclusively
by the York-Rlver line and tho Southern
railway. The Southern Railway Company
has contracted for two fine steamers,
which will be ready for the summer trade.
The Daytime Company has enough
steamers to establish an extra line at
short notice The indications are that as
soon as the Southern Company invades
the Daytime territory new line will be
established to Richmond by the competing
company.
