WOMEN AND JEWELS,
The Combination Is rs Old as Time end
Not q New Fad.

The Combination Is rs Old as Time end
Not q New Fad.
The critic who finds much to blame
in modern women in the number of
jewels they wear on both this and the
other side of the Atlantic will find that
history had set the fashion long before
the fair creatures Of today had opened
their lovely eyes. According to Pliny,
Lolita Paulina, the wife of Caligula,
wore ON her hands, arms, neck, head
and waist pearls and diamonds to the
value of $1,6SO,O00. Faustina had a
ring worth $500, 600, Domitia possessed
one worth $500, 600. and Cesonia had
bracelet worth $4,000 900. Seneca cried
out that one pearl would no longer do
for lady, but she must insist ON at
least three for. each she'll ear. Tho
weight of these, it is hard to believe,
could ever be endured by even the vain
est of fair maids and matrons.
There were women in ancient Rome
whose sole occupation was healing the
torn ears of ladies whose ornaments
had proved too heavy for the pretty
lobes. Popp9a's earrings were worth
$50, 900. and Calpurnia, the wife of
the mighty Julius Caesar, had q pair
valued at twice that sum. Later on the
extravaganza had not seemed to have
died out. Marie de- Medici had dress
prepared for the baptism of her chill
dren, and when she attempted to wear
the marvellous creation she found that
1t was so heavy that she could not stand
in it. 1t was trimmed with $4,000
pearls and 5000 diamonds.
Men, hewever, excelled in costly ap-
parel in the middle ages, and Philip
the Good of Burgundy frequently wore
jewels valued at $500, 1000. When he
walked along the streets, people climb
ed over each other to get a peep at him.
The Duke of Buckingham once wore at
the court Of st. James costume cost
ing 100000 The dress of the mobiles
OF the middle ages was literally covered
with gold and precious stones.

Now Mrs. Chfistine Jeanson wants Q Di.
vorce.
Christine Jeanson, of Moline, has
started suit for divorce in the cir
cult court through her attorney. J..
B. Oakleaf. She states that she was
married Nov. II, 1881, to John jean
son. and lived with him until March
25. 1897. She says that her husband
was of q quarrelsome disposition,
and has made her life a bur den, at
different times threatening to kill
her. Last March Jeanson was ar
rested on q charge of larceny and
was bound over to the grand jury.
Mrs. Jeanson claims that he is now a
fugitive from justice. having been
followed by Constable Thomas Re-
noe. of Moline, as far as Rochester,
N. Y, where all trace of him was
lost.

to be divorced from Oscar Carlson,

The Great Barnum d Bailey show In all
Its Glory.
The Barnum & Bailey greatest
show on earth will give two exhibi-
billions here Saturday. 1t will ar
rive early in the morning, coming
from Iowa City over the Rock Island
road on four special trains. The
work of unloading the train and es-
tablishing the show in its temporary
quarters is q process we'll worth
watching as an exemplification Of
the large amount Of work that can
be done in short time by hard labor
and thorough discipline. The real
circus day will begin. however, at Q
o'clock in the morning. when the
free street parade will leave the
grounds and proceed through the
principal streets OF the city. One Of
the finest features OF the parade is
the driving Of 40 horses to one wagon
by an expert driver. These horses
were all green ut the work at the
opening Of the season, but no one
would guess it to see them now.
Every one OF them is Jet black, and
they make fine appearance as they
prance through the streets drawing
the wagon as il it we're light as q
wheelbarrow. L. is estimated that
the driver holds in his hands 80
pounds OF reigns, and the work OF
directing the course Of the horses
and keeping them in control, is a
wonderful feat.
Horses will be made prominent in
the ring performance also. One of
the acts will show 40 Of them--an in
crease from the so OF a year ago-in
the ling at once. There are other
features too numerous and varied
to mention separately. The great
show is still true to its reputation.

HONOREO BY THEIR HATE AND BLESSED
BY THEIR ISLANDER.

The News and Observers enemies are
of three classes.
The first class is composed of those
white men. who have for thirty years
tried. with 10000 negro voters, to con-
troll the affairs of North Carolina for
personal gain.
The second class are the few and furi-
ous political corporation agents who prey
upon the people and whose designs and
schemes the News and Observer never
fails to expose and antagonize.
Still another class-and a blatant, loud
mouthed class-is composed of the new
manipulators of politics, the jackals who
have secured public office by unholy
deals with the other two classes. They
howl at this papers heels while they
wax fat upon the big salaries, which are
the price of their betrayal of professed
principles, and spend their time inventing
new and plausible schemes of deception
by which they hope again to fool the
people.
The News and Observer loves itself for
the enemies it has made, and it has
cause to believe that the people love it for
the same reason.
1t invites the political opposition Of
the base white men who affiliate with
the ignorant negro to degrade the State.
1t scorns that corporation influence and
power that has no object but the subjec-
ton of the State to its own greedy and
selfish control.
1t despises and spurns the handful OF
place-hunters who trade on the franchis-
es of free men in order to obtain pubic
office.
The News and Observer has no mis-
sion higher than to help as best it may
to save the State from the control Of
these agencies which. though processing
to be far apart, do not scruple to join
hands for purposes Of common advant-
age and selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 1t is
honored by their hate and blessed by
their SANDER.

WILL COTTON GO LOWER.

Cotton in November, 1894, and in
March, 1895, went down to GIG cents.
BY April, 1895, cotton had advanced
nearly ~ cents, and in May advanced
"a cents more. making an advance of
nearly two cents in the two spring
months following the lowest fall prices
known to this generation. The indica-
tons are that history will repeat Itself.
Alfred B. Shepperson says:
Cotton may go lower and the pros
poets for an immediate improvement are
MOI very encouraging. hui from MS pres
ent price it would jump by leaps and
bounds should unusually early frosts oc-
cur. The spinner who buys at present
prices and in case of further decline fol
lows the market down, will probably
not have cause to regret such action, fol
he will have obtained his supplies of q
raw material which loses nothing of its
value by being kept at price far be
low the average for many years. Thost
who wait for lower prices in their anxi
ETY. to secure their cotton at the yer.
bottom may find their plans upse
by sudden and severe frosts and b.
compelled to pay well for their cotton
and experience. The crop is far from
being secured. It's extent and its qualit
will largely depend upon the weathe
during the next six or seven weeks
Frosts will reduce the yield and frost
and rain will injure the quality. Ih
present receipts are excellent both
to quality and staple, and spinners nee
not be afraid to buy it and put 1t ava,
for there are far worse investments tina
actual cotton of good grade and stapl
at present prices. Those who entertai
the idea that cotton will fall to the To-
prices of the season of 1S94-'95 are hu,
ging a vain dplusion. The conditions al
essentially different.

OBITUARY.

Afer patient and heroic struggle with
diphtheria through all the long hours of
Friday night, sweet Ada Richardson.
just fifteen. dropped into the arms of
Christ's endless rest, Saturday morning,
October 2. 1897, at Z o'clock.
Her young companions, like startled
fawps. stand and wonder at the swift
and silent arrow that so sped to lay her
low. Her sister and brother even yet
look about in bewilderment for "the
vanished hand" and listen for "tbe voice
that is still" The father, far away,
reads again and again the fatal message
and his heart needs an interpreter to tell
it what it is that so benumbs it. The
mother still dreams that her child's head
is on her bosom, still listens to the I'M
utterable comfort of the words that so
often gave almost womanly sympathy in
the hours of night. And as all are sore
amazed and bewildered, Jesus stands in
the midst and says: "Wist We not that
the Good Shepherd must gather the
lambs with His arms and carry them
in His bosom?
''There by His love o'ershaded
Sweetly their souls shall rest"

DEATH OF MISC RICHARDSON.
Died of Diphtheria After One Days
Serious Illness.

! One Of the saddest deaths ever known
in this city was that which occurred yes
terday morning at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. /. n. Richardson, on North
Halifax street, when their youngest
daughter, Ada, passed away in the 10th
year of her age.
/ She died of that dread and fearfully
contagious malady, diphtheria. Her i'll
mess was very short and her untimely
END, with its attendant circumstances
is a shock, not only to her friends and
admirers, but all the people of the city.
! Miss Richardson had been complain
/ ing of sore-thrOat and hoarseness for
several days, but it was not until Thurs
day night that she was taken seriously
i'll, and the disease was not pronounced
! diphtheria until late Friday afternoon
| Wednesday night the young lady was at
church and Thursday morning she was
on the streets. 1t was not until the day
following that it was suspected that the
sore throat meant the presence Of the
most malignant and fatal type of diph'
liberia, and which on yesterday morning
caused a horrible death by strangula-
ton.
The funeral was held yesterday after.
noon from the residence and the body
inferred in lakewood cemetery. There
were no services, except at the grave,
and no one was allowed to enter the
house-by order of the attending ply
s:cian and Board of Health-for fear of
spreading the contagion.
The floral offerings were most profuse
and beautiful, expressive of the SYM
lpathy felt for the bereaved family by
a large number Of friends.
| While the grave was being filled the
| choir of the Presbyterian church rem
idered beautiful hymn.
The pall-bearers were William Har.
din, Charles Wildes, u. p. Smith, Frank
Tant, Will Hughes and Fred Hardin.
Miss Richardson was bright school
girl, much beloved by all who knew her
for her sweet disposition and kind deeds
She was a member of the Presbyterian
church and an active member of the
Pansy Club, an organization Of young
people in her church that helps the or.
phans at Barium Springs.
Mr. T. n. Richardson, her father, Is
in Montgomery, Ala, where he is buy
ing cotton. He cannot reach here fol
several days.
