MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE

All along the line, on piers, on sheds,
| houses and every possible point of want
| age, people were packed The river
| craft, crowding the warShipS close,
We're damned with passengers, sinking
! the sides of the vessels almost to their
guard rails on one side, giving the i'm
preston that even the ships themselves
! bowed in unconscious salute to the re-
| turning naval heroes. The width Of
! the Hudson river was a struggling,
nGttering, darting mass of color and
confusion AID cheers AS the vessels
moved further up the river, the water,
which had been calm at the battery,
was churned by the action of the hun
dred5 of steamers and waves dashed
over the small boats and sheets of
spray damDened the passengers on
lower decks of the larger steamers.
AS the grim looking battleships NOV
ed I'D the river, the crowds became
denser and the enthusiasm was more
marked. At Riverside drive with its
steep, grassy slope, the Scene was like
All amphitheatre. Tens of thousands
OF persons covered the green slope, and
as II . battleships approached a, mighty
cheer arose that reVerberated back and
forth across the Hudson. From the
bottom of the slope an observation
train crawled lazily along. keeping
even with the ships. Above this the
vast sea of humanity extended to Cen
eral Grants tomb. which was to mark
the beginning of the return of the
squadron. The tomb, standing high,
white and solemn. far above the waters
of the river, looked to be built on
foundation of faces. For the first time
in the parade the battleships drew to-
gether.
Just at the point of return there was
a momentary lull, as if expecting
climax Suddenly from the sides and
turretS of the battleships there was a
vivid flash, following this a tremendous
roar, announcing the first gun of the
national salute. The heavy smoke
curled and tumbled down towards the
water and uD into the air until the
ships had been almost hidden, but the
roar, coming again and again, seemed
to rock the waters themselves.
It was an imposing spectacle as the
big battleships doomed a salute to the
nation, as the warships saluted the
final resting place of General Grant,
and the guns that sounded the knell of
Admiral Cervera's ships at Santiago,
doomed q. reverent obeiSance to the
dead hero.
The salute ended, the return of the
squadron along the line of review was
begun. It was a repetition of the en-
thusiastic scenes on the way up the
river. Every whistle was brought into
use played its part: every bell, every
band, Joined in honoring the fleet and
above all were the resounding echoes
of the shouts from on water and on
land.
The parade of the ships, from the
time it passed the battery on its way
UP the river, to the time it repassed |
on its way to anchorage of Tompkins- |
vile, S. l., occupied just two hours and |
thirty-five minutes.

all worked up over a tragedy which oc-
CURED near there yesterday. While cut
ting grain on his ranch, Sam Ferguson
was shot from ambush. Five large buck
shot lodged in his back and he fell from

clump of bushes 80 yards away.
Today a man named E. NJ. Woods was
arrested on suspicion of being the guilty
party. Ferguson's wounds may Jesuit ia

 Boas are big and very round. A witty woman said the other day that 1t was like carrying a feather bed to carry your boa over your arm. They are finished with many tails, and are very striking feature of the toilette.
 Speaking of the children, one may re- mark that they are very prettily dressed this year. The vogue for army red is as great here as for army blue at home. The children wear the most vivid colors. A little girl in brilliant scarlet wears a hat of black velvet which sets off the scarlet amazingly.
 Underneath there is dress of red-brown novelty goods. and her little gloves are scarlet. Her brother, who trips along at her side in the gallant fashion taught to young Frenchmen, wears coat of black velvet over dark red trousers. If he is not a wealthy lad his coat is of black cloth with scarlet trousers, or it Is of Russian purple or Danish green.
 They get up the maids fin Paris to look so picturesque that 1t really sets off ones youngsters to have maid walk ng behind them in her marvellous costume. She wears a long cape which in November becomes inflated with the wind. It Is of very plain striped goods. with no pretensions at cost, and it is lined with bright, warm flannel.
 Her head dress is striped cap of Nor mandy design, with great broad streamers that float in the brcezes like a yachts col ors. When under sail she is a very impos- ing creature. and stranger is ready to wonder that the children are not afraid of her; but she is gently voiced and sweet faced and it is noticeable fact that the French children like their bonne better than their mother often times. for the French woman is little inclined to leave the bringing up of her children to her ser wants.
 Paris is very pretty now for the weather loving French women make the most of each pleasant day.

ALEXANDER K. SHEPARD.

Colonel 4. K. Shepard departed this fife in this city just as the evening of an au- tumn day was dropping the curtains of night around the earth, October 21, 1898. How like his life has been the cloudless day shedding radiance and healthfulness every where within it's sphere. How like his death the peaceful evening, as the rays of the setting sun seemed to finger upon the mountain tops, making them lovely and painting the western skies with myriad bright hues, "the last still lovelier until 'tis gone and all Is gray"
 His has been Christians life, and his was a Christians death.
 Colonel Shepard in the years of his early manhood moved from Virginia and became a farmer on the rich prairie lands of Perry county, Ala Soon after his removal to Alabama the agitation of the questions which finally led to the civil war began all over the union, and Col. Shepard was called on by his neighbors to become the demo- cratic candidate for the lower house of the Alabama legislature. This was very great compliment. as Perry county was then the home of orators and statesmen of national reputation.
 The young farmer was equal to the task assigned him. Cultured, chivalrous and magnetic he was everywhere received with enthusiasm and elected by handsome ma jority to the office, which he filled with dis tinguished ability.
 Col Shepard was afterward member of the state secession convention, and with great ability and energy he appealed for delay in passing "the ordinance" but join ed the overwhelming majority.
 But Col. Shepard, while possessing all the

Oh! The Pain
 Of Rheumatism!
Its Tortures Known to
 Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma- tism become a constant com panion to all who are victims of this disabling disease. The peo- pie generally are not acquainted with the cause of the disease, though thousands know it's tor lures.
 Everybody should know that Rheumatism is peculiar acid con- dition of the blood, upon which all liniments in the world can have no effect whatever. The best blood remedy is needed-one which is able to go to the very seat of the disease and force 1t out. Swift's Specific (S. s. S.) is the right remedy for Rheumatism, because it is the only blood remedy free from mercury, potash and other minerals which intensity the dis ease, causing stiffness of the joints and aching of the bones.
 s. s. s. neutralizes the acid condition of the blood, and forces out every trace of the disease. It reaches even the worst cases where the doctors have made cripples with their prescriptions of potash and mercury.

 BRILLIANT DECORATIONS.
 Another young matron who dresses very we'll indeed wears at this time of year a ladies' cloth dress of stone gray trimmed with sequlns. Very large decorated stars of colored stones and beads curiously mingled so as to form handsome combina- tions can be obtained for trimming a skirt.
 These can be put on in graduated fash ion with the small ones at the front and the very large one in the middle of the back, thus giving an idea of the irregular trimming which is so fashionable this year.
 The waist Is trimmed in the same way, and there is a vest of quart gray taffeta, which harmonizes with very large quartz sash.

 One Paris woman who is really model of >fne-- dressing has a very heavy cloth dress which she wears for calling. The entire suit is of Gu rassier blue cloth of a weave which is very similar to Sicilian cloth, but little heavier It is novelty goods of plain hue. The waist is stretch back with the front. double breasted, hooking at one side. It is trimmed diag- onally across with very narrow soutache braid put on in five clusters of three rows each. The sleeves are coat sleeves, per- fectly plain, with very slight fullness at the shoulder.
 The skirt is one of the new ones without gathers or plaits. It is absolutely fitted to the figure all the way around the waist. The opening or placket hole is directly in the middle of the back. and the dress is boldly held together with handsome but tons. No attempt at conccalment is made with this placket hole, and the buttons are placed upon it close together so that in reality the opening is more secure than In the old gaping way.
 The skirt is trimmed In circular fashion with soutache in clusters of three rows each, the braid being put on so that it ex- tends very high at the side.
