THE SEPARATE WAIST.

Though tie alarmiSt is continually
sending forth the rumor that the
separate waist is baSSe, this very cop
venient addition to a Woman's ward
robe still holdr serene sway, and wo-
men in countless numbers continue to
ignore the warning and would-be man.
date. In consequence, novelties in
these are constantly being devised,
and frequently they afford pretty sug-
gestlons for the corsage of a dressy
gown. Organdic waists are made over
fitted lining of India or surah silk in
bright contrasting color; as a dark
blue, with large chine flowers in dull
colors over bright cherry silk; very
pale heliotrope over rose color: white,
with design of yellow flowers, over
green. The effect of these softly
blending colors must be seen to be un-
derstoOd and appreciated. Grena-
dimes, also, are usually made over a
silk lining of harmonizing or contrast
ing color.-ErOm "Re0ie1O OF FASH

AN ELEPHANT STORY.

Once there was man who sold pro-
duce to travelling circus. The circus
stayed in his town for a week, and as
the proprietor could not pay for the
produce, he gave mortgage on the
elephant. When he could not meet
the bill the produce dearler foreclosed
on the elephant, and proceeded to
lead him home by rope, whereas the
villigers gathered about, and asked
him what he was going to Go with the
elephant, and where he was going to
put him. He replied that he should
put him in the chicken-coop, and keep
him. Now the chicken-coop was
pretty big for chicken-coop, and
even compared favorably with the
house and barn; but when the ele-
phant stood by its side its proportions
assumed changed aspect, and the
elephant wouldn't fit. The elephant
strayed about in the yard and ate up
produce and every thing else, for a
week and then the holder of the newly
acquired luxury sent word to the
former owner, Come and get your
elephant at once | have family to
support"
1t isn't always such an easy matter
to get rid of an elephant; and when
YOU have accommodations for chick
en- only, it isn't wise to invite an ele-
phant to dwell with you. And yet we
all do this Constantly.-FrOm "EIe-

DRIVEN IN LIKE CATTLE-No ACCOM-
NOTATION FOR LADY WITNESSES.
Nothing has been done as yet to i'm
prove the condition of the Police
Court. All kinds and grade of prison
ers are brought into court daily and
charged with the most tritling ottenses.
An officers word is equal to three or
four witness. If the government is not
ready in a case, continuance IS al
lowed, Notwithstanding the fact that
the prisoner has been in Jail for a
week. If the government cannot con-
vict and another witness or witnesses
are needed, the district attorney will
ask for a continuance to enable him to
convict. These are only some Of the
ridiculous things that confront the
lawyers and prisoners at this court.
Judge Mills generally acts as judge
when he sits upon the bench and de-
cides cases himself and impose such
sentences as he thinks prisoner ought
to have. Nobody dictates to him. nor
would he tolerate it if it were attempt
ed. There are some very offlcious
bailiffS around the court. One would
suppose they were the judges, if you
would hear them talk once. The clerks
of the court, the Harper brothers,
Messrs. Rouff and Potts, are all very
accommodating gentlemen.
A very embarrassing scene was wit
messed not long ago when young lady
left the court with her mother to hunt
for a ladies toilet. None could be
found, and what to do she didn't know.
This is the condition at the police
court.
THE WITNESSES ROOMS
continues to be crowded with all
grades of witnesses. If certain class
of white people come to the court,
some Of the bailiffS hustleS them within
the ratings, to separate them from wit
neSSeS who may not be SO well dressed
as some others. One thing about Bail
iff Cole is, he never disCriminates. 1t
is no fault OF the bailiffs that the wit
nesses are packed in the witness rooms
like sardines, and when you pass by
you inhale an odor that will some day
cause sickness.

THE AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE CON-
PANY. JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF.

THE AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COM.
PANY. JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF.
Mrs. Susie Johnson, whose husband
died some few weeks ago and was in
Sured in the The American Home
life Insurance Company, and who
died last month, July 18TH, entered
+ suit against this company to recover
/ the small sum of $3.50. The defense
OF the company was that Johnson was
behind three weeks or more, but had
paid up and had not been ratified that
he had become unbenifiCial but con-
tinued to received his money. it was
claimed that one of the rules of COM
pany was that the board Of directors
had to reinstate the alleged delinquent
member before he becomes beneficial.
They may have never and the compa-
ny would continue to receive money
from the insured person and at his
death, from the plea of the company,
unless the party was reinStated by the
alleged bOaad, the insured would
still be umbeneficial.
Mrs. Johnson is, no doubt one of
the unfortunate beings who can be
easily fooled by not understanding.
She presented sad spectacle III court.
She was too ignorant to state to the
court the date of her husband S death.
This is the unfortunate class of peo-
pie who seem to get into these cheap
insurance companies in this city.
The judgement of the court was that
the company pay the plaintiff S37. so
the amount of the policy. An appeal
was noted.
Mr.. w. Calvin Chase was the attorney
for the plaintiff All persons who
have ever taken out a policy in this

time in the year to visit Niagara Falls
not that the Falls are any better, but
travelling is so much more COmfOrta-

Then, too, the trees are covered with
their autumnal foliage, making the
scenery of beWitChing beauty.

tour to Niagara, September 9th. The
special train will run through to the
Falls, arriving there at night, passing
the picturesque portion of the route in
daylight. The privilege of stopping

become pure.
There are many members of this
church who every Sunday pray Thy
kingdom come and then go out and
make it like hell. There are members
who go out from here and combat every
influence that comes from this book and
this pulpit. If the members Of this
church and this denomination would do
their duty then the bar-rooms and every
other form of legalized wickedness which
exists ON the back streets would be BAN
ished. They ought to be able to rule and
control this city and its government and
govern it for the glory of God"
The practical talk Of the evening was
made by Mr.. n. h. Broughton. Mr..
Broughton said there were some features
of the mission work that he wanted TO
call attention to. He referred TO the
methods used in Brooklyn by Rev. A. G.
Dixon and paid him a high compliment
for the great work that he is doing, say
ing that he considered him the greatest
evangelistic pastor in the world to-day.
He said he was gratified at the work
that was being done in Raleigh and had
been done during the past three years,
but he couldn't help thinking of the
twenty-five years that lay behind, and
the opportunities that were forever past.
He said that in addition to the missions
and the preaching there ought to be
night schools-night schools at Pilot
Mills. Caraleigh Mills and West Raleigh.
If the Bible is the word of God the people
ought to be taught to read it.
~ have thought for sometime that we
ought to organize classes in the Sunday
Schools to teach pupils to read. But
no matter whether we do this or not we
ought to organize night schools. We
do not give enough to this work. We
contribute only $500 to State missions
and then take back 5000 for our city
work. This is entirely too small Il sum.
There is not preaching enough. We have
three preachers-Carter,S imms and Belts
yes, four, John L. Pullen. He is the
equal of either one of the others in many
respects. and in some others the equal Of
all of them together. But we need at
least two other preachers. The word of
God must Zoe preached to the people
He strongly urged a larger contribu
ton to the city mission worl-enough
to employ another missionary, establish
night schools and distribute more lit
erature. Mr. Broughton said at least
ST 900 was necessary for the work.
After cards for pledges Of eontribu-
tons to this important work had been
distributed Mr. John T. Pullen was call
ed on and closed the meeting with n
short talk on the Importance of the city
mission work, and some of the great re-
suits that have thereby been accomplish
ed and said there was something in this
work for every christian to do

He is a great preacher, and measures
up to Bishop Pierce in his younger days.
do not believe that he has an equal in
the State"
Yes" said John w. Thompson, Il
heard DR.. Kilgo three times yesterday.
He is a delightful preacher, and is al
ways interesting"
These are sample expressions of the
comments made in Raleigh yesterday
about the sermons and address made
by DIR. Kilgo in Raleigh on Sunday. He
is prime favorite as a preacher in Raj
eigh, and whenever he preachers here he
breaches to crowded churches. In the
morning he preached in Central Metho~
dist church to a large congregation. III
the afternoon large coneourse of men
heard him at metropolitan Hall on Moses.
At night an immense congregation
which filled the galleries and the
aisles heard him at Edenton street Meth
odist church. The sermon was one of
the best he has ever preached in Raleigh,
strong, original, opposite, not duh ex-
preston from start to finish, keyed on the
highest plane, and delivered with effec-
tiveness and power He had what the
old Methodist preachers called liberty
and carried the congregation along with
him. The old gospel has lost none of its
power to attract and hold men when pre-
scented with such power and originality
of style.
DR.. Kilgo was the guest of Mr.. Joseph
G.. Brown while in the city. He return
ed to Durham Monday morning to be
present at the opening Of the spring SEES
sion of Trinity. He says the college is
going along well, growing in usefulness
and increased patronage.
