 Variety of color still holds, and there seems no rule requiring that the hat, except in style, shall harmonize with the gown. Do remember, however that in style it must harmonize, and don't buy magnificent velvet and plume creation when you are not plan ming and have no right to plan for a corresponding dress. Artificial flowers will bloom on our winter hats as gaily as they did on the summer ones. Not quite so gaily always, because many of us are taking off those same summer flowers and making them slightly dam aged and little faded, do duty on the winter chapeau. FLORETTE.

A peculiarity of the Louisiana Sum- day law in it's demand for the closing of all places where liquor is sold Is that an exception is made allowing hotels and boarding houses to sell "wine'' for table use on Sunday. Some New Or leans hotel keepers are claiming the right to sell bottled beer under this clause of the law, and will appeal to the courts The New Orleans Picayune says that this concession of wine for table use, which is construed to mean use at meals, was made owing to the fact that large numbers of the popula- ton of Louisiana habitually drink clar- ct at meals, and to have refused 1t would have been to cut off a part of the regular meals of thousands of per- sons in the State. The Picayune adds that if the law had restricted the diner to his bottle of claret, that would have settled the matter, but when, under the law, any and all of the hundreds of va rieties of wines can be sold, while beer cannot. it looks as if an inyidious dis crimination, and an unreasonable one, had been made.

Paul d'Humy, French naval officer, of having originated a process for the successful qualification of petroleum for conmercial and industrial purposes, has been further explained by him. It appears that heavy common oil has been converted by this inventor into solid block, as hard as the hardest coal burning slowly, giving off an intense heat and showing not the slightest sign senting as many as thirty tons of coal, and the space occupied by one ton of it being about three cubic feet, as against the large space required for the coal. At recent gathering of experts M. dEIrnly exhibited samples of the articles and experimented with them. On the table were several cakes of the solidified petroleum and of low grade oils of various sizes and shapes, and in addition to the cakes there were sam pies of the same fuel in dry powder and paste; the petroleum powder and paste mixed together and pressed forming a Homogeneous mass, with a great spe- cific gravity, hard almost as stone, and, when burning, giving off flame three hundred times it's own volume, and a heat we'll nigh as great as oxygen. Tests to determine the production of smoke or smell failed to indicate the emanation of either of these.

The cause of characterization isn't as popular in Gloucester, England, as it was. A Parliamentary commission to investigate the particulars and condi- tions of the visitation reports that there were about 5000 unvaccinated children in the city and it's suburbs, and that as the disease became appar- ent the inhabitants took alarm, and listening too late to the counsel of the doctors, accepted the dreaded rite of vaccination. But the disease had made such progress that it could not be en- tirely controlled As a. consequence of their foolish faith and their defiance of reason and common sense, the local committee reports that 400 of the in habitants had been removed before their time, more than four times that number only escaped with their lives from one of the most loathsome of dis eases, and a vastly larger number, in one way or other, suffered in mind, body or estate"

The sanitarium at seq is European idea. A large steamer especially fitted for the accommodation of invalids in need of fresh air and favorable cli- mate is to be constructed by a ship owning association. The ship is to be ill constant employment for eight or nine months in the year, but for at least three months out of the twelve she will go into dock in order to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected It is proposed to make this steamer, which is to be the forerunner of a large fleet similarly equipped, veritable floating palace in the matters of both comfort and salubrity. Although skill ed advice and nursing will always be available, the accompaniments of a sanitamum will be kept as much as possible in the background The prom inent idea to be carried out in this new departure is tho isolation of a danger ous class, with the least possible amount of discomfort to it's members; and, furthermore, that by a judicious timing of moves the sufferers will be afforded a chance of recovery under the most favorable climatic conditions, which it would be difficult to secure otherwise A list of anchorages has been made, all of which have their spe- cial seasons. As soon as any undesir- able change of weather is imminent at the port of stopping the ship will sail for a more salubrious climate.

Told Different Tales.

Conflicting statements, and incl dentally, the stealing of cattle, is the cause of two negroes, Wm. Green and Ben Rayford, being con fined for safe-keeping in the county jail.
 Saturday morning as Deputy Con stable Creed Taylor was coming to town from the Taylor place, he saw two negroes driving cattle through the woods in suspicious mafn er. He approached one of the men and questioned him as to how he came by the cattle and where he was tax ing them. The man failed 10 give satisfactory explanation, and he was Laced under arrest. His com panion was then called up and ques toned. Their stories failed to cor roborate and the officer broughf both men to town that in a court o
 justice they might prove ownership
 to the cattle in their possession-i 1 they could.

 Patronize Home.

There is a disposition among some people to think that anything that comes from Eabroad is superior to that which they have at home. The unpardonable pride displayed by this class in boasting of their foreign-bought goods has eften been observed and commented on. More or less of this class can b. found in every community, but, perhaps, to a less extent, thanks to the common sense of our people,, in this commu- nity than any other of which we have any knowledge.
 But the assumption of foreign superiority is entirely erroneous-at least SO far as Pine Bluff sconcerned. Pine Bluff is no town of third rate importance. It is strictly up to date in all that contribute to the happiness, well-being and comforts of modern society. It is not only one of the important trade centers of the State, but a prosperous, and progressive city, perhaps as prosper ous. under ordinary circumstances as any city similarly situated and with a lill e numerical population, as any city in the United States.
 It's wholes ale and retail houses are IS well prepared for business and to meet competetion from every quar- ter as any city in he State, including Little Rock
 It's retail merchants carry as large stocks of goods and purchase them at as low prices as any house or hous es in the State. Tn fact. in con- sequence of freight competetion by iver, Pine Bluff merchants, (whole- sale or retdii1, cdu sell goods cheaper than Little Rock, Fort Smith, Tex arkana and other Arkansas cities and towns less fortunately situated.
 Therefore patronize home. You can buy as cheap dress and dry goods, shoes clothing, hats, printing Of duy tiittlS NiSG Uo NhCtii'8 IT hOb cheaper nPine Bluff than any other town or city in Arkansas
 Offers to pay your railroad fare to Little Rock and hotel bills while there if you purchase as much as $25 worth of goods, may be very in viting, but the money comes out Of your pocket book in the end just the same. Don't do it! Stay at home and save your $500. You can get just as many goods and as good goods with as large q variety to se- lect from here for the same amount as in Little Rock, and in consequence of favorable freight rates, for less.
 Patronize your your home mer- chants and business men-men who live among you, who pay taxes for the support of your schools who contribute to the progress and prosperity of the community and who share in common it's destiny.

Ticket In Kansas.
 TOPEKA, Oct. I3.-G c. Clemens has filed with the secretary of state q pro- test against the middle-of-the.road Pop. ulist electoral ticket. He alleges that with the exception of fewer than 200 of the names signed to the nominating petition, it is apparent upon the very face of the petition, from mere inspec- tion that all the names on said petition were written by not moro than seven different persons, while on some of the petitions every name was written by one person.
 The complaint then goes on to allege that the petitions were not gotten up in good faith, but were largely signed by persons who intended to vote the Re- publican ticket It is also charged that the persons who engineered the peti- tions were in collusion with the Repub- liean state central committee.
 The dle-of-the-road committee de- ny each and every one of Clemens al. legations and declare that it's petitions are genuine and prepared in good faith.

Attorneys who have bad criminal cases now fight shy of Warmer, and are very much opposed to having the cases ot their clients sent to the Circuit Court at that place on a change of venue.
