In the letter Of our Albany correspondent this
morning will be found some interesting gossip
as to the possibility that. after all, Governor
Morton may not sign the Greater New-fork
bill. Until the middle of last week 1t was the
general belief in the capital city that this I'M
portant measure would become law. On
Wednesday Mayor Wurster went to Albany and
saw the Governor. as he said, In reference 10
matters of local legislation. Since that time
There has been little said by men who are In the
confidence Of the Governor with reference to
this bill. and 1t certainly Is possible that Mr..

pected that the consolidation measure Will be
disposed Of soon; not improbaby to-day. The
Governors action on It, and subsequent events

views are of special value to the men in this
city who are about to enter on this work on
considerable scale. Mr. White knows by ex-

The ordinary sized lead pencil, such
as one gets when he goes into store
and asks for "a lead pencil" is seven
inches i'll length and a trifle more than
quarter of an inch thick. Pencils are
made in many different styles and shapes
and for many uses. Special pencils of
very small diameter are made for math-
ematical instruments. Another small
diameter pencil is the programme pen
Gil made for dancing orders, of which
the sale in this country is estimated at
5000 gross annually. Programme PEN
ellis are made round and hexagon in
shape and finished in variety of colors
and styles. Some are wound with silk.
Programme pencils are sold sharpened
and with ring and cord and tassel
attached, ready for use. Other small
pencils made are those used for tablets
and memorandum books Checking pen
ellis, with red, blue and green crayons,
are now used extensively in commercial
establishments and by express and rail-
road companies and in almost every
office. Thousands of gross of checking
pencils are sold annually, and the sale
of them is constantly increasing. Crayon
pencils for various uses are made of all
colors and in many tints.-New York

Graceful Walking.

It appears that Newport society girls
have formulated a rule for graceful
walking, which pedestrians will please
copy if they wish to get ON in this
world. An intelligent writer thus de
scribes this step: Zone Of the cardinal
points, she says, sis that the advanc-
ing foot should be placed long way
ahead of the other. so as to make very
long step, almost a stride, and to keep
this stride graceful the foot that is left
behind lifts itself to the toe and takes
right angle swing. The toe must always
be set down first, or the body will sink
too heavily at each, like the step of a
fat woman. The pointed toed shoe is
preferred if long enough, as it cuts the
air and lends elasticity to the foot. "
Therel This is uncommon sense, but
the Newport pedestrian always walks
just that way. Therefore let every girl
who can forsake her wheel long enough
to walk at all try it. She will feel she
is in the swim right off, for Miss Amy
Bend and Miss Julia Grant, besides half
dozen other fair ones now doing this
swan step act, are declared to be "beau-
tiful walkers. boston Herald

Lace, ribbon and bead decorations are
all noted ON the bodices, while empire
capes, epaulets, vandyke arrangements
and various other designs are shown for
their adornment, writes Isabel A. NAL
lon in The Ladies Home Journal. AS
bead trimmings are quite expensive, it
is we'll to know that there may be got
ten, in the large shops, strings of beads
and spangles to be applied to ribbon or
piece material, so that the economical
woman may form fashionable garni-
ture without spending much money,
Satin ribbon is more generally seen
than either velvet or grosgrain, and the
reasons for its popularity are not only
that it ties easier, but that it contrasts
more effectively with the fabric proper.
Stripes and plaids in silk are fancied
for plain bodices, while if a plain color
is used it is given an elaborate air by it's
trimming. Cotton blouses frequently
have double ruffle down the front for
their only trimming, as it is conceded
to be in best taste to develop them sim
ply.

STARS ARE IN THE SKY ALL DAY.

The stars are in the sky all day.
Each linked coil of Milky Way
And every planet that We know
Behind the sun is circling slow.
They sy,eep they climb with stately tread,
Venus the fair, and Mars the red
Saturn engirdled with clear light
Or Jupiter with moons of white.
Each knows his path and keeps due tryst.
Not even the smallest star is missed
From those wide fields of deeper sky
Which CLEAN and flash mysteriously,
Asjf God s outstretched fingers must
Have sown them thick with diamond dust.
There are they all day long, but we,
Sun blinded, have no eyes to see.
The stars are In the sky all day,
But when the sun has gone away,
And lowering shadows cool the west,
And call the sleepy birds to rest,
And heaven grows softly dim and dun
Into its darkness one by one
Steal forth those starry shapes all fair
We say steal forth, but they were there.
Where all day long, unseen, unguessed,
Climbing the sky from east to west.
The angels saw them where they hid,
And so perhaps the eagles did,
For they can face the sharp sun ray
Nor wink nor heed to look away
But we. blind morta1s, gazed from far
And did not see single star.
wonder If the world Is full
OF other secrets beautiful,
As little guessed, as hard to see.
As this sweet starry mystery.
Do angels veil themselves in space
And make the sun their hiding placer
Do white wings fash as spirits go
On heavenly orrands to and fro.
While we, down looking, never guess
How near our lives they crowd and press.
II 30, at lifes set we may see
Into the dusk steal noiselessly
Sweet faces that we used to know,
Dear eyes like stars that slowly glow,
Dear hands stretched out to point the way
And deem tho night more fair than day.

abandon his law studies owing to the
death of his father, and was hard at
work running country paper and get
ting living for a large family Of
younger brothers and sisters.
The Faison family was one Of the old
aristocratic families of the state, and
Miss Faison' s parents opposed her mar
riage to Butler, alleging that his social
position did not equal that Of their
daughter. Miss Florence, however, was
very much in love with her young
Farmers Alliance knight and refused
to give him up. They were married
about two years and half ago, and
have one child, baby about 10 months
old. This baby bears the very formida-

Marion Butler, as will be recalled,

North Carolina a little over year ago.

that she would marry him and that tho

elected to the senate of the United States

did marry him, however; he was elected
senator by the Farmers Alliance fac

good towns along the line OF new rail
road are to be located, but the rapid
march of civilization has caused IAN
awful slump" in the town site bust
ness, and he mourns the departure of
the old bonanza days.
Reilly, who is now resting among the
orange and lemon groves OF Glendora,
Cal. is we'll known by thousands of SET
tiers In Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and
the Dakotas. He began town sitting
when the Central and Union Pacific
railroads were opened, and his odd ex-
periences would make an entertaining
volume.
"For the past ten years." he says
with his characteristic modesty, II
have not failed to call the turn on any
railroad town in the west. 1t has got to
be a second nature to me to lay down
the map Of projected railroad and put
my finger on the location OF town site.
When I go into new country, just
look the ground over for several days
and soon come to the conclusion where
the town ought to be. The nearness of
running water, the depth to which wells
must be sunk to get drinking water and
the looks Of the soil and the lay of the
rolling hills, if there are any, all have
much to do in fixing town site along
railroad on the plains.
In 1880 Reilly located Claremont,
Kan. but the railroad engineers. despite
his protest, ruined his scheme by max
ing station four miles beyond. The
railroad had not been running two
weeks before Claremont began to move.
Everything was on wheels, says
Reilly. 1.-THE hotel was first, and then
the saloon and blacksmith shop skipped.
Pretty soon the schoolhouse went and
then the private houses. The last time

He sang this sweet impromptu song:
"H'O Britons never shall be slavesi
For merry England rules the waves
And all the land that lies between
John Bulls the boyi God save the queenl"
He waddled on from land to land,
A-whacking all who said him nay.
The nations seemed to understand,
And trembling gave him right of way,
And trembling listened to his song
As merrily he tramped along
"HO Britcns never shall be slaves
While merry England rules the waves
And all the continents between,
For which thank my God and queen"
"John Bull John BULL Withhold your hand
Your Uncle Sam can't understand
Why you should help yourself to land

Hanged, but Not Dead.

A remarkable story comes from Pom

recently hanged for murder. After be-

body was turned over to an old German
friend of the murderer, who by means
of simple restoratiyes revived the Off
cially dead man. Three reputable resi-
dents of Pomeroy assert that they have
personally conyersed with Meyers within
a week, and that he is now in hiding
from the authorities, and will shortly be
taken out of the country. County Off
