some imaginary crime which he is

can have a fair chance of disprov-

plain, changeable striped in greater or
less width by satin bands. Sometimes
also they are sewed with small, shinin g
dots, which render them very brilliant.
Costumes entirely of velvet are little
out of date as ball gowns, except for wom-
en- who do not dance, but a great deal of
velvet is employed for trimming in the
shape of large collars, wide belts and corse-
lets and corsage draperies. Velvet applica-
lions in cut out patterns are also seen on
skirts, outlined with beads. Besides velvet
there are employed gauzes and mousselines
de sole in Powered patterns, embroidered,
spangled sprayed and worked with che
mile. These are employed to ornament
the top of the bodice and slightly veil the
low decolletage. Transparent sleeves part
ly cover the bare arms and are made of ell
bow length reaching to The wrist. They
have no lining and when of full length are
gathered crosswise.
In less expensive goods there are striped
gauzes and printed mousselines de sole.
Young women who dance much favor
these less costly goods, since they are light
and can be changed more frequently.
Cream, straw, pink, blue and green are
the colors worn by the juvenile, golden
yellow and mauve being reserved for older
persons.
The illustration shows a bodice of red
velvet. 1t is adorned with narrow bands
of black feather trimming and has a
guimpe of gathered white broche silk.
The close wrinkled sleeves are also of
white broche silk and have feather bands
at the wrists The epaulets of red velvet
are edged with feather trimming, and q
double row of fancy buttons decorates the
front of the bodice. JUDO CHoLLET.

kIroHIN SPEAKS OUT.
Denounces Butler, Aver & Co as False
TO Silver and PopuIism.

W. 81. Kitchin in News and Observer
OF all men living who ought to
keep silent on voting for goldbug Re-
publicans, it ought to be butler,
Ohio and Hal. They are all tarred
with the same stick. They deliber-
| ately made a contract last summer
or fall with Pritchard & Co. to defeat
every free silver Democrat liz the
| State, and to elect instead of Demo
Gratis, goldbug Republicans, and after
accomplishing their nefarious, cor
rupt and wicked conspiracy against
| silver and financial reform and the
Populist party, they, with malice
aforethought and blood in their eyes,
wheel upon Skinner and his so-called
| boilers, and curse and damn them
! for carrying out their wicked con-
tract, doing what they advised them
to do, and what they themselves did
do, and what they intended should
be done, the election OF a Republican
to the United States Senate.
Buffers purpose was to elect a
Republican. He no doubt preferred
Marshall Mott to Pritchard, but he
! preferred Pritchard to any Populist
or Democrat. To have elected a
Populist, would have ended cooper
! alton with the Republicans, and no
one knows this SO well as Butler.
Cooperation will now continue be-
| tween the Republicans and Buffers
| heelers, clackers, pie hunters and
| slaves.
Butler never did intend, and don t
intend now, to build up majority
| Populist party, 1t would defeat all
bis designs and his bossism. He
| cannot, or will not, stand brain
power, honesty and patriotism COM
; bined within his own household.
The height of his ambition is to
control and dictate. With a contin
gency just large enough to wallow
| between the two old parties, and
| dictate the distribution of spoils and
offices to himself and his Gideonite
| followers, accomplishes all the desires
| OF his heart.
| He is responsible for the election OF
| a single standard advocate to the
United States Senate He may twist,
| squirm and Snuff, as much and as
| long as he desires, but he will never
| convince any one except the unsO-
I! phistica ted, that he desired the cleo
/ tion of a silver Senator, or that he
desired the election of Bryan or
| Watson, and 1T the same time the
election of a silver Congress.
| If he and his committee had strug-
gled as hard to elect true and tried
silver men to Offices In this State and
in Congress as they did to elect gold
! bug Republicans over silver Demo
Gratis, there would exist today no
cause for his denunciations and
anathemas against Skinner, and his
crowd, and Major Guthrie today
would be Governor of North Carolina
and Cy. Watson United States Sena-
| tor, instead OF Russell and Pritchard.

From Interview with Senator Butlerl
MI. Skinner is probably the most

Wants the Truth.

Lynchburg Advance.
If it were allowable to derive salts
faction from the pains and pangs of
our would-be enemies, the people of
the South might enjoy real pleasure
from the harsh criticisms of the
northern press upon the school
histories written by southern pens,
and published by southern presses,
and introduced into the public and
private schools of the South Per
haps we ought not to show any feel
ing of citation, but how can we sup
press it? 1t is the daydawn of de-
liverance from the false teachings
that have SO distorted the veracious
history of our country. We do not
desire to have southern histories in
culcate southern ideas, as contradis-
tinguisaed from northern ideas, but
we desire to see histories that will tell
the true tale of our common country,
from the landing at jamestown and
Plymouth Rock, to this, the closing
decade of the nineteenth century.

A Woman,s Estimate of Man.

1t takes a woman to call down a
self-satisfied man. One woman says:
"Man has done wonders since he
came before the public. He has navi-
gated the ocean, he has penetrated
the mysteries of the starry heavens;
he has harnessed the lightning and
made it pull street cars and light the
great cities of the world. But he
cannot find a spool of red thread in
his wife's workbasket; he can't dis
cover her pocket in dress hanging
In the closet; he cannot hang out
clothes and get them on the line the
right end up. He cannot hold the
clothes pin ia his mouth while he is
doing it, either. He cannot be polite
TO somebody he hates. He cannot
sit in rocking chair without bang
ing the rockers into the Dashboard.
He cannot put the tidy on the sofa
pillow right side out"

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
30 completely as rheumatism-tha de-
p1orable condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-ca11ed blood rene
dies are at best only tonics and can
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is a tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. s. s.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcib1e circulation, destroys the Pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
1ation to it's normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
about five years ago I was great
sufferer from rheumatism. / waa
treated by all the leading physicians
