BRYAN TALKS TO TEXANS.
Legislation Business is Suspended
While He Makes a Speech.

visited the Texas legislature this morn
ing and all business in the two houses
was suspended while he made a ring
ing speech characteristic of his last
campaign.
He took occasion to say that he noted
with pride that Texas was in the lead
in the matter of laws to regulate the
corporations that were doing their
country harm.
He stated that in his state and others
in the past II months corporations had
stepped out of their chartered rights and
into politics, and that he favored the
enactment of a law prohibiting any
corporation from contributing to a
campaign fund He said that while re-
formers were always called enemies of
the government, time would show they
We're right and he desired to encourage
them in their worthy fight against cor
porations that were doing the country
SO much damage.

MISS ANTHONY'S ADDRESS.
She Delivers Her Annual Speech as
President Of the National Suffrage
Association.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 27-The twenty
ninth annual convention of the National
Suffrage association opened in this city
yesterday, Susan B. Anthony presiding.
The following states were represented:
Colorado, California, Illinois, Iowa, Ida
no, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mass
achusetts, Missouri, Montana, Michigan,
Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania Utah and Wisconsin and
Washington, D. G.
The large audience room was crowded
with men and women, eager to hear
Miss Anthony deliver the annual ad-
dress as president. She was given an
ovation which moved her visibIy.
Miss Anthony said that the time had
come when the suffragists must recog-
nlze wise political methods and not de-
pend upon generalities. She said that
the cause was never stronger than it is
now, with four states in line. Before
she laid down the work to which her life
had been given she hoped to see the
stars on the suffrage flag multiplied
four score and more, and in the end
the triumph of the cause.
The rest of the session was devoted
to hearing reports from the states which
were, in the main, encouraging to the
suffrage workers.
Miss Clara Clay of Lexington, who is
member of the famous Clay family
said of the movement in the south:
There has been a good deal of mis-
apprehension about the woman suffrage
sentiment in the south. I think the
south is ready for it. The associations
we have had there have sprung up with
out much help, and they were all start
ed by correspondence. The progress
of the movement in the southern states
has been rapid We have state asso
Citations in every state; every one has
been organized since 1888 except Mis-
souri,, and most of them within five
years. The most serious obstacle to
woman suffrage in the south is the fear
of negro domination. A property as
we'll as an educational qualification for
suffrage would be very popular. In
fact, after that I think woman suffrage
would be readily accepted"

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
The Southern Building and Loan Assn
in the Hands of Receiver.

Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 27.-In this
city, where for several years have
fiourished six of the largest building
and loan associations in the country,
including the Southern. the largest one
in the world, all but two, have gone into
receivers hands within the past few
days.
The supreme court of Tennessee at a
recent sitting in Knoxville, rendered an
opinion which was very adverse to the
interests of the associations. This caused
hundreds of suits to be filed against
them to recover property and then came
thousands of applications by stock and
shareholders for Withdrawals.
The Southern was placed in the hands
of temporary receivers few days ago
and at a meeting of the stockholders to-
day they asked that the receivers be
made permanent and the business be
wound up.
The Savings Building & Loan asso-
citation was given a receiver today and

hounces begin at the bottom and are
graduated i'll width up to the top, some
having three, others five, six or seven.
All are edged with narrow lace. The
corsage is generally of silk of darker
shade with a f1ounce bertha and no
sleeves. Flower trimming is placed on
the shoulders and across the waist some
times. Other dancing dresses are made
of tulle and tarlatan. 1t is many years
since tarlatan was fashionable, but it Is
''in'' now, and very pretty it is, too,
and it possesses the unusual quality of
lasting a whole season through, barring
accidents. If it is creased, a warm iron
makes it look like new. 1t always was
pretty. The founces, if any, should be
cut on the bias. The skirt, if simply
gathered and henmed, should be cut on
the straight. Flowers are the proper
decorations, and really nothing makes a
daintier or more girlish gown Tarlatan
comes in several shades of pink, two
shades of blue, pale green and straw
color.
Princess shapes for handsome evening
gowns are quite popular, and nothing
shows off a fine figure to better advan-
tage.
1 was told some months ago by a
French friend that panniers were COM
ing in again. Well, here they are, and
they are only the precursors of Dolly
Vardens.
One gown in particular struck me as
being very beautiful. The skirt was
rich dark navy blue velvet and made
with plain, round shape, which fell
into magnificent heavy folds. The cor
sage was of gold colored silk null ele-
gantly draped and edged with cream
lace. There We're no sleeves, save such
as the draped lace afforded. There were
two cunning little pannier puffs of the
gold colored null. The rest of the cor
sage was composed of velvet, almost en-
tirely covered with gold embroidery.
There were four yellow roses, with buds
and green foliage, set upon the bust and
shoulders.
One could go on indefinitely describ-
ing the different creations in the way of
ball and dinner dresses, but as they are
not the only things necessary I will
leave space for mention of some of the
others. The new evening gloves are gen
orally long suedes or mousquetaires in
all the. evening shades, and these are
plain. But others have the tops en-
broidered in floss, silver or gold threads,
or with lace insets edged in some cases
with beads. Other gloves are half long
and are richly embroidered or beaded
along ON the back of the hand.
Floral pieces for decorating the hair
are mingled with MORE bows. Lilies of
the valley, roses and violets, both white
and purple, are made into graceful set
pieces, shoulder knots and trailing
