SADDENING NEH,S.

Those who have been hoping for the
Greeks will be saddened by this morn
ing's news. which is largely in favor
of the Turks, 1t appears that notwith-
standing the calamity at Larissa the
Greeks are still full Of fight, and 1t Is
officially declared" that their new line
Of defense IS far stronger than that
which was found to be not very strong.
In spite Of this, however, the feeling in
London is that the war is about over
and that the Powers will soon intervene
and let one or both of the combatants
down as easily or as hard as possible.
If heroic Greece is to be defeated and
Inundated the cynical will feel that
they have new reason to think that the
god of war fights on the side of the
heaviest battalions, and that even one
who hath his quarrel just needs to be
more than thrice armed when he quar-
rels with one who is more than thrice
armed. 1t does not seem right that in
this instance Goliath should kill David
and go on staggering before the dis
gusted eyes of the civilized world. But
we suppose that the concert Of the
Powers, neutrality etc, ETC., must be
sacredly maintained even if liberty and
Christianity suffer.

THE RIVALRY OF TWO TOWNS.

THE RIVALRY OF TWO TOWNS.
A ten years fight between Duluth,
Mimi, and Superior. Wis, two rival
towns at the Western end of Lake
Superior, has found its way into the
Senate.
Just now these towns are distinct and
separate. Between them flows little
arm of Lake Superior called by court
esy the St Louis River, and it is as
famous in the annals Of the North
west as was the Rubicon in the time
of Caesar. AS long as that stream of
water remains unbridged, just so long
will Duluth remain Duluth and
Superior be known as Superior
But in the dreadful days to come, when
a bridge shall span the river. it is like
ly that Superior will be nothing but a
suburb of Duluth This makes the
doughty residents of Superior lie awake
at night, distressed with fearful dreams,
while they stand on the store Of the
dividing streams and hurl defiance to
their all-encroaching rival
The bill authorizing the bridge passed
Congress some time ago, but now more
time Is asked, and some changes in the
charter are suggested. The material
burnside by Pennsylvania steel men is
lying at the site of the bridge, and
Senator Quay daily presses the enact
ment Of the additional legislation, but
Senator Villas representing the SUI
periorites, stands guard and object so
that the bridge is literally suspended in
midair. .-Washington Post.

THE NEW SUNDAY Law.

The proposed new Sunday law pro-
vides that every person who shall do
any secular business or labor, except
works of necessity or mercy, or keep
open any shop. warehouse or manufac-
turing or mechanical establishment, or
expose any property for sale, or engage
in any sport, between IL o'clock Satur-
day night and ~ o'clock Sunday night,
shall be fined not more than $50.
In the discussion of this provision it
has been made to appear much more
stringent than the existing law, and
there has been talk about blue laws,
ETC., etc. But the fact is, as the Hart
ford Times points out, the new law
provides no new legislation whatever
regarding these matters. They are il
legal under a strict construction of the
new law, and they have been equally
illegal under the old law. But prosecu-
tons for such sales have been extreme
ly rare, and the new law in no respect
changes the situation or calls for any
more rigid enforcement of the law by
the prosecuting officers. AS matter
of fact, the new law is really more lib
eral than the old one. That prohibited
engaging in any "sport or recreation;"
the new law omits the word "recrea-
ton" and no longer makes 1t illegal to
indulge in carriage riding, boating and
possibly various other innocent pleas
ures which may come within the defini-
ton Of 'recreations," as distinguished
from horse races, ball games, etc,
which can only be classified as sports"
The law is also changed to cover the
full period from 70 o'clock Saturday
night to IL o'clock Sunday night, and
the penalty is changed from the mini
mum of 81 and maximum of "a to a
maximum Of $50. The only effect of
this is that while fine as low as 81
may be imposed, as heretofore, the
court may hereafter in cases of flag
rant violations, impose a penalty up to
the maximum of $50.
It is not at all probable that under
the new law Sunday in Connecticut
will be much different from what 1t has
been. The bicycle will still have free
course, and so will everything else that
isn't conspicuously and extensively
against sensible public opinion.

FASHION NOTES,
For a Long Wasted Figure.

Fancy bodices still have good hold
on stylishness, and are a favorite means
Of using the bright colors that are so
fashionable. Shades that would be al
together too conspicuous for a whole
gown may safely be employed in pref
ty bodice that is to be worn with a
comparatively plain skirt of quiet hue,
and many very handsome gowns are
thus composed Thus it happens that
the brightest plaids appear in bodices,
but these are worn with inconspicuous
solid color skirts. Even with plaided
silks of quiet colorings this rule is fol-
lowed, and very tasteful gowns for late
spring result. To-day's pictured dress
is of this type, its bodice consisting of
sleeveless blouse of gray mousseline

killed to save pasturage, These hap
penings, however, are exceptional and
are not to be taken as showing any
general condition of the horse market.
In forecasting the future the report
mentions that overproduction has been
succeeded by natural reaction, the
sion having decreased since 1898 from
1872, 532 to 1,626,402, or nearly is per
cent. The opinion Is expressed that
"the depression in the horse market
has already passed its lowest point"
this being based on an improving de-
mand for draft and driving horses of
the better class, 1t may also be stated
that fire horses in cities will be wanted
for years to come and will command
good prices. Farmers, of course, must
have horses, and such animals, IL they
are of good quality, still bring fair
prices. The time Is distant, too, when
the pleasures of driving will be given
up, and with the progress of highway
improvement light and medium road
horses will be in increased demand. The
horse will also continue to smell the
battle afar off and say Ha! Ha!
among the trumpets, just as the horses
of the Horse Guards of Connecticut
now do So taking everything into con-
sideration it will be seen that there is
still show for the horse.

man should never have her belt of the

trasts.
Narrow belts are again to be fashion
able for wear with shirt waists. We
could not discard them; they were so
pretty and trim last year. All sorts of
beautiful novelties are offered in belts
and at all sorts of prices. The safest
way is to select piece of leather that
suits you of the right width and color,
a. dull Indian red for instance, dull
green or a deep orange. Replace the
buckle with one of your own selection,
and stud the belt with buttons or jew
els to suit the buckle and your taste.
The result will be something individual,
and if you have used good Judgment
in selection the result should at small
cost be artistic. Imitation emeralds,
sapphires and turquoises are shown in
such good colorings as to be very beau
tiful. To be properly placed they should
be selected in button form. Tiny Sits
should be made in the belt to pass the
shanks of the buttons through, on the
other side they should be fastened with
tiny rings, the only safe way, and the
belt should then be lined with either
soft kid, channels or ribbon.

NOT YET USELESS OR UORTHLESS

NOT YET USELESS OR UORTHLEsS
The trolley car, the bicycle and the
horseless carriage all tend to decrease
the value Of that noble but easily
sacred animal the horse. There is, how
ever, reason to think that horses will
not soon be cheaper than they are now,
The agricultural department has been
looking into the matter. It makes out
that the low value of horses is due
traffic afforded by the great railroad
lines, but more largely to the heavily
great western ranges. Between 1889
and 1898 the number of horses in Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mex
leo and other Western States and terri
tories, increased from 1,4T97 6S to 1872
532, a difference of 492, 764. The sur
plus above local needs was shipped to
outside markets, and naturally affected
prices in the East, as shown by the fol-
lowing statements: In the year 1866 the
average price of horses in the United
States was $59.S6. From 1883 to 1889 the
average price ranged between $7O.59 and
$74.64, the latter price having been
reached in 1884. BY 1892 the average
was $65O1. The rapid decline set in af-
ter 1898, in which year the average price
was $61.22. The figure in 1894 was
S47.83; in 1895, $500; in 1896. s38.O7. and
at the beginning of the present year
S31.51. On western ranges the prices
are about the lowest on record. The
average price of a horse there is but
two-fffths of what it was in 1854, and of
mules less than one-half The surprls-
ing fact is mentioned that in some
parts of the range country horses are
rated at 81 a head, and incidents are
recorded of their being given away or

1t is well known that for a long time
buttons and various other articles, for
which bone is generally used, have been
made from blood purchased at the
slaughter houses, the blood being treat
ed with some substance that hardens it
to the required consistency. The same
articles, it appears, are now made from
milk, by process invented by an Eng
Iishman, the material used being ordi-
nary skim milk. The process of turn
ing this liquid into buttons, pool balls,
combs, backs of hair brushes and SINH
lar articles consists in mixing it with a
substance the ingredients of which are
known only by the inventor, and then
comprising it; at the end of three days
the substance is as solid as celluloid
and ready also to be cut and shaped in
any way the manufacturer desires.

almost fatal accident occurred here about
l o'clock this afternoon, caused by a
horses taking fright and running away
Mr.. Erie Gambrell, a young lawyer OF
Macon. Ga. who is visiting relatives in
Nansemond county, was driving a horse
attached to a buggy, which was occu-
pied by himself and Mrs. Sydney L. El-
lis wife of Hon. S. Il. Ellis, County
Treasurer A piece of wire caught in the
horses feet, frightening him, and causing
him TO become unmanageable and run,
and almost Immediately the vehicle col
nded with telephone-pole, wrecking the
buggy and throwing the occupants heav-
ily on the macadamized street. Mrs.
Ellis struck on her right side, and was
severely cut and bruised about the head,
face. and arm. She was taken TO the
Office of Dir. John T. Phillips, who rem
dered surgical assistance, and made hei
as comfortable as possible. Mr.. Gambrell
held on 10 the reins, and was Jerked
from the buggy and thrown distance
of 20 or % feet, striking on his right side
with terrible force. He was taken into
S S. Hosiers store and DR.. II. Il. Par
ker attended him. Both OF the victims Of
the accident are very painfully, though
not seriously, injured.
