PERSONALITIES.

Gov. Taylor of Tennessee has had the
duty devolved upon him of appointing
United States Senator by the death Of
Hon. Isham G. Harris. He will serve
until the meeting of the general assem-
bly, in January, 1899, when an election
for senator will be held to serve out the
term ending in March, 1901. Senator
Bates successor will be chosen at the
same time. A number of names have
already been mentioned in connection
with the vacancy, including those Of
Congressman Benton McMillin and
James ID. Richardson, N. w. Baptist of
Covington, ]. T. Trrley OF Memphis
and Judge John Childress OF Nashville.
1t is believed the latter stands the best
chance for the appointment.
g. w. BoWron, managing editor OF
the Northwestern of Oshkosh. is said
to be making a success of his typeset-
ting machine. He has worked on his
invention for the last two years every
moment he could spare. Arrangements
are being made to place the new ma
chine on the market. The brethren of
the press wish Mr.. Bowron royalties
that will render him plutocrat.
Joe M. Chapple, formerly editor Of
the Ashland Press, has carried his
western hustle with him to Boston and
is making the magazine of which he
is manager, The National, a great sue

Clara Christensen was to have wed
Landers Houghen at Beloit. A hundred
and fifty invitations had been issued and
the wedding feast prepared. The bride
had informed her lover, it is claimed.
that she had 500 to apply in furnishing
the house he had just built, and when
it was wanted confessed that she had de-
'ceived him. He was very angry and
refused to marry her when the time for
the service had arrived. The wedding
was therefore declared off, but the guests
were hidden to the wedding supper which
the bridegroom had prepared. Friends
thought the ceremony would take place
later in the night, but Houghen declined
to wed the girl, saying that her deceit
had frozen his heart against her.

How Elizabeth Was Dressed.

Queen Elizabeth's love of sumptuous
apparel grew with her years, and the
leading fashions of the courts of Eu-
rope furnished her with designs for
new dresses, which she would contin-
ually cast aside for others such as her
foncy might suggest. On all occasions
she dressed in the richest costumes,
adorned with brilliants, precious
stones, and jewelry of the rarest work
manship; even in her old age she con-
tinued to dress like young girl, afraid
of nothing so much as Of being thought
old. upon the subject Of her personal
beauty she would smilingly accept the
most extravagant fattery," says Carte,
however fulsome it appeared to ev-
elybody else." When Paul HentZner
saw her she was in her sixty-seventh
with an eye wholly unclouded by any
sense of reverence for the divinity
which hedges round q monarch. Indeed,
he was so ungallant as to jot down in
his notebook that Queen Elizabeth
wore a wig, .nd that red! He goes on
to remark that she had in her ears two
pearls with very rich drops, and that
her bosom was uncovered.
She was dressed in white silk border
ed with pearls of the size of beans, and
over it mantle of black silk, shot with
silver threads; instead Of chain she
had on an oblongs collar of gold and
Jewels. He adds that wherever she
turned her face every one fell upon
his knees''-an act of homage which on
state occasions had been paid to her
father. and Elizabeth never forgot, OF
allowed others to forget, that she was
the daughter Of Henry VIII. Carte,
volume Ill, page 7O1, says: elizabeth
was pleasant in conversation, graceful
and active in all exercises, whether on
foot or on horseback; and danced eX-
tremely fine; even in the last year OF
her life she danced La Gaillarde with
the Duke of Nevers; she did it with
such an attitude and grace that every
body was struck with admiration

Steel Plant to Be Sold.

The plant of the West Superior Iron
and Steel Company will be sold Feb. 4.
This transfer means much to West Supe-
rior. If the plant goes into the hands of
people who are engaged in the manufac-
ture of steel it may be started much soon
er than it otherwise would be. 1t is now
said that the Rockefellers are out of the
deal and that negotiations are on with
Oliver, who represents the Carnegie peo-
pie. Should the plant fall into their hands
great things may be realized. The IN
debtedness under which the plant will be
sold is about 81 ,339, 600, and to this must
be added interest for four years.
