FASHION NOTES.
A Lucky Turn for slSimpers.

The burst of favor that cashmere caught last spring continues without abatement, and the daintiest of dresses are made from it. It's continuance in fashion furnishes fine chance for the woman who must practice economy be- cause the goods will wear to the last thread, which cannot be said of many highly stylish materials. So without great outlay any woman can have her new gown of a thoroughly fashionable stuff, know that it will give fine return in wear for it's cost and yet feel that she is right in style. The stuff is sus-

A CURIOUS THEATER.

Where Advanced" Drama is Heard by
 the Most Picturesque Audience in
 Paris.
 The theater in question is in Paris, and its name is the Theater de FOeuvre. Before coming to the features of this in- stitution which more especially concern us here. a word must be said as to it's nature. Since the disappearance of the famous Thaater Libre the Theater de TOeuvre is the most important of what the Parisians term the theater a cote of the irregular theaters-that is, whose performances are intermittent and not open to the general public by payment

ceptible of many different treatments, but the one chosen fer this illustration was comparatively simple yet one that will lend distinguished air to a tall, slender figure. The color of the cashmere was slate gray, and the bod ice had a shield front banded on each side with a bias fold of white mohair braid. It's lining hooked in the center and the front then Tapped over, On each side were two cord frogs and white olives; collar and belt were white cashmere and white braid edged the square epaulettes The same scheme was followed in the skirt, a strip of braid showing at each side of the front, with cord and olive finish at the top.
 It is economy to have several pairs of corsets. For the tailor-made gown Q stiff-boned long-Waisted corset is best. For house wear, not "any old corset. but new one, soft boned, of summer weight and loosely laced, and for wheel ing short-hipped, soft-boned affair. It is well to have also stiff -boned cor set for other street wear than the tailor dress, and a summer corset with stiff boning for afternoon silks, etc. But no matter how simple your wardrobe, three pairs of eorsets are none too many.
 A corset properly laced and supplied with fresh lacings will wear twice as long as one pulled together anyhow and held with ragged and giving laces When in place the corset should at the back spread towards the lower and the upper edge, and this no matter how long it has been worn. Three lacings should always be used a central, a top and a bottom one. The lower two are those which should be loesened when the corset is being put on, and redrawn when the fasteners are ir place. Otherwise dragging on the cor set will surely displace the proper pull of the lacings. FLORETTE.

Before he started on his visit to Eng land the King of Siam formally opened the first section of the Korat railroad, which has recently been completed be- tween Bangkok and Clyatha, and the first sod of which was cut by him in 1892. The opening of the first section, which is four and half miles in length, was made the occasion of much pomp. As His Majesty began to drive the spikes the priests chanted the prayers usually recited at state ceremonies. The King drove in two spikes and fastened the bolts at the end of the rails, using for the purpose a gold hammer with an ivory handle, and a gold spanner with 6 handle covered with velvet, The Queen then went 10 the other end of the rail. and set of implements was also handed to her, which she used. The royal party returned to the pavilion where addresses were delivered.

The report of the State geologist of Indiana for the past year has just been published, and it forebodes the failure of the natural gas fields at no distant day. The territory that now produces natural gas includes a region of about 2,5OO square miles, and no new discov- cries have been made or are now likely to be made A decrease in the pressure was first noticeable in 1895, and it is still diminishing. It would not be sur prising therefore that if within a year or two the supply would be so much diminished that the general use of the gas would have to be abandoned. Such was the case with the gas fields of western Pennsylvania, and such will probably be the fate Of the Indiana field.

LOTS OF BRANDY.
The Good Peach Crop Makes Many
Distillsriss.

Atlanta, Aug. 18.-The prevailing
opinion that there is a small peach
crop in Georgia this year seems to be
ill-founded.
Official reports show that the crop
has been very large, and that while
the yield of fine shipping fruit has
been small the inferior varieties of
seeding peaches have produced won
derfully well.
The internal revenue Office at the
custom house is an unfailing gauge of
the peach crop in Georgia. If the
crop is good there are always q large
number of brandy distilleries operated.
and if the crop is peer there is d cor
responding falling off in the number
of distilleries.
This year the number of brandy dis
tilleries is comparatively large. Last
year not more than sixty distilleries
were operated in the state for making
government brandy, This year there
will be over a hundred.

Atlanta's Big Reunion Next Year
Stirring Up Renewed
Interest.
MANY new CAMPS BEING FORMED.
General Clement A. Evans Talks of the
PrOspscts-A Grand Meeting
in the Gate City.

The Atlanta Constitution of yester-
day has the following article of time
Iy interest:
The reunion of the confederate vet
erans, which will be held in this city
next summer, has had the effect of in
creasing the number of camps IN this
state, and it is expected that many
more will be organized before the end
of the year.
The reunion has also had the effect
of awakening an interest in the con-
federate history and records, and the
work of collecting and completing this
is being pushed. 1t is probable that
an effort will be made to have the leg
islature make an appropriation for the
work of collecting the history Of the
confederates in Georgia, and it is
thought that such a bill will easily
pass.
Nearly all of the other southern
states have been at work for some
years in collecting the history of the
regiments sent by them to the war.
These are kept by the state, but may
be referred to by any who desire to
do so. In them is contained the mus
ter roll of every regiment, and the
deeds of heroism performed by the
soldiers.
The number of reunions held dur
ing the past few weeks has been un-
usually large, and this is taken as an
indication of the enthusiasm which
will be exhibited when the soldiers
come to this city next year. Besides
the soldiers themselves, there will be
in line the Sons of Veterans from all
over the country and also the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy.
This Will help to swell the process
sion, and those who are at the head of
the undertaking say that it will be
the largest reunion held by the veter-
ans in years.
General G. A. Evans, in speaking of
the matter yesterday, said /:
81 have sent out large number of
circulars throughout the state an
nouncing the fact that the reunion
would be held in this city next year,
and the effect has been that an unus-
ually large number of reunions have
been held by the camps IN the state.
The reunions of the veterans are al
ways enthusiastic, but they seemed to
be more so this year than ever before.
Camps are rapidly being organized
in all parts of the state, and soon there
will be more than one to each county.
| confidently expect that before the
end of the present year there will be
l50 camps in the state, and you know
there are only 1877 counties. The vet
erans are looking forward to the prep
arations which they Will make in order
to spend a week in Atlanta at the
time of the reunion, and believe that
nearly every one. of them Will be here"

tlfc and Legal Facts CrOvatt Said
Company Wasn't Able.

Col. Harry F. Dunwody, represen Mt
ing the city of Brunswick, and Judge
A. j. Crovatt, presenting the Bruins
wick Light and Water company, ap-
peared before Judge Emory Speer at
Mount Airy yesterday, to discuss the
question whether or not the company
should be compelled to cover its water
reservoirs.
Ex-Mayor Dunwody appeared in
place of City Attorney W. E. Kay, who
is at Halifax. He went armed with
scientific and legal facts to establish
the fact that the uncovered condition
of the reservoirs is a menace to the
public health.
Judge Crovatt represented before
the court that the present financial
condition of the company was such
that it could not stand the expense OF
doing the necessary work, amounting
to about $l,5O0.
What Judge Speer's decision will be
is not known. There is little room
for doubt, however, that he will real

Savannah Disturbed Over the Reported Mar

house last night in company with the
gentleman and that it was said that
they went to South Carolina to get
married. The lady says that the parties
have been devoted for some time, but
that it was not thought their wedding
would occur before winter. The re-
ported runaway is the talk, of the
neighborhood.

CHEF BEACH WRITES,
His Expressions Figure in the Columbus
Police Agitation.

For some time past there has been
waging in Columbus police commits
sion war. One side claimed that the
commission should not hold secret
sessions, the other side claiming that
secret sessions were perfectly proper.
To gain light on the subject, in
quiries were made of the chiefs of po-
lice in various cities. Chief Lewis
Beach, of this city, was asked by the
Enquirer-Sun for statement IN re-
gard to the police regulations. The
Enquirer-Sun prints Chief Beach's
letter, as follows:
"In response to your favor of the
11th inst, beg to say that the police
commission of this city was sstab-
lished in 1889, by amendment of the
charter of the city of Brunswick, and
the sessions thereof were made secret.
"I have heard little or no criticism
in reference to the commission being
conducted IN this manner. The OBJ
ject of such sessions being private
was to remove the acts of the commits
sion, as far as possible, from political
influence. Before the commission was
established the city council elect
ed the officers and men of the police
department, and such employees be-
came involved to such an extent in
every city election that the efficiency
of the force was at all times greatly
impaired. Since the organization of
the commission the police department
has been completely divorced from
the political campaigns incident to
city elections, and by that reason the
efficiency of the department has been
greatly promoted. The removal Of
the department from these political
influences has caused the commission
to be commended, and the services of
the officers and men have met with all
but universal approval"

WILL Re LEAVE US?
1t is Said That Purser Witt Has a

1t is Said That Purssr Witt Has a
Csnsulship in Store.
Everybody knows Purser Witt, of
the Mallory line steamship Colorado.
His ample but genial rotundity, his
never falling stock Of humor, his pop
ularity with all passengers on his pop
ular line, have made him we'll known
to every body in Brunswick.
Well, according to rumor, Purser
Witt is soon to leave us. 1t is said
that his sea rovings are over; that he
is soon to settle down to quiet life in
distant land, where the charms of a
sweet domestic environment will serve
to lessen his regrets at leaving the
decks of Mallory's good boats.
Purser Witt has ''pull" with the
Mckinley administration. He was Of
fered a consulship shortly after the
Inauguration, but at that time his
mind was not made up. Witt met the
present president when he was con-
gresham, at resort, and the charm
ing personality of the New Yorker so
impressed the congressman that he
said: "Witt, if l ever become presi-
dent, call for what you want"
Now, Purser Witt wants to be con-
sui to Guadaloupe. 1t is the post now
held by Jake Dart of this city. Witt
is certain to be appointed. He ex-
poets every trip OF the Colorado to be
his last.
When the happy Witt is missed from
the semi-monthly gatherings Of the
good fellows of Brunswick, there will
be weeping and lamentation. But he
will be lulled to sleep by the music of
the, Caribbean, and secure in the
thought that Mr.. Mckinley did not
break his word.
