DRESSES FOR
SCHOOL GIRLS.
Let the Little Ladies Study These
Styles and Make Their Selections
SOME BRIGHT, PRETTY FR0CKS.
IL is Hinted That They Might be Made
From Their Mammals old Ones
Although New Material
is Now So Cheap.
SOME BRIGHT, PRETTY FROCKS.

PARIS. oct. 25-It must DO frankly
confessed that your correspondent likes
to write about the little school ladies'
who. at this season, look so attractive
with with their bright eyes and glowing
checks touched by the frosty air. They
enjoy themselves SO. the growing girls,
that I forget, in their enthusiasm, that
1 am grown up. and once more l am
a little girl going to school down south.
For hours | can sit in the parks and share
their glee and their play. Partisan chill
tiren talk like magpies with high, shrlll
voices.
School time releases them early and
for several hours they can play out-of
doors. Their dresses are tasteful In the
extreme.
This is a busy season for mothers who
have TO get school girls ready for the
winter. II the gowns at this time are
well chosen, as far as material goes, and
in design not too elaborate. there will
be no occasion for complaint from moth
ers about the worry and expense Oh
dressing young girls.
WHAT TO BUY.
A practical English woman who sends
three well groomed girls TO school every
morning gives some such valuable hihts
to mothers about dressing girls
First Of all she makes 1t rule 10
avoid buying smooth-surfaced materials
for school gowns; broken checA' oI
stripe that is hardly discerniole' OF
even a big Scotch plaid Is CHOSEN III
stead of a solid color.
Then she always buys enough materlal
for a second pair of sleeves, when are
often called into service before the gown
has had three of four months wear.
AS soon as her girls have arrived from
school they don a pretty apron OF dark
Saline or alpaca that IS made attractive
with ribbon bows and fancy stitches Oh
bright silk.
Each of these girls have on their dress
ing table a bottle OF cleasing fluid with
a snronge attached. so that they have no
excuse for the slightest grease spot on
their gowns. With these as a foundauoh
che manages 10 dress her little duck
lings to look like swans. Ihey nave sew
eral pretty and novel frocks.
A PRETTY FROCK.
An extremely simple school gown was
made of cheviot in two shades Of mixed
gray blues. The skirt fitted close over
the hips and the fulness at the back was
Matted into the waistband in four small
overlapping plaits.
Down both seams OF the apron 1t was
trimmed with narrow dark blue passe-
m-nterie that turned in rounding corners
and followed the bottom OF the skirt
The corsage was a blouse with box
plat at the middle that hooked TO the
left side. Three dark blue SILK frogs
buttoned across the plait. 1t opened over
V OF dark blue MORE bordered by
small revers OF the same. On eacn sioe
Of the plat there were double rows OF
the passementerie that extended from me

TIE Navy Department has called for bids for the construction of three first class battleshlps, The GRAPHIC would suggest that the people of this state make a united effort to have one of the battleships named Arkansas" We have the Indiana, Iowa, New York, Oregon, Massachusetts, Alabama, Kentucky, and many battleships and cruisers named after the leading cities of the Union, but no vessel in the navy is named in honor of the state of Ar kansas, or any city therein. This is no doubt due to the indifference of Arkansans. A "Greater Navy should have a ship named in honor of the great state of Arkansas. With united effo"t the honor can no doubt be secured for our state. Let the effort be made and our Senators and Congressional delegation be urged to call on the Secretary of the Navy and insist upon it's being done. Let the press Of our state agitate it, and when the legislature eonyenes in January let that body memoralizc the navy department to name one of the new vessels Arkansas

 he Republican compromise regime,

gates who settled the city con tests from the First and Third wards.
 The Committee on Credentials was composed as follows:
 W. Z. Tankersley, Second ward; ". G. Street, 4th ward; J. H. Shelby Niven township; F. o. McGehee, Spring township; J. L. Cason, Tal- ladega township; 0. G. Blackwell, Whitevine township; A. F. McNeil, Barraque township.
 From the above list of names it will be observed that there were five delegates from the townships and only two from the city wards, the country delegates being largely in the majority. The report of the committee on credentials stood to 2 in favor of seating the eontesting delegations from the first and third wards.
 We also desire to cal attention to the fact that in voting upon the adoption of the majority and mi nority reports the declsion was again with the country delegates.
 Under the rule adopted for voting upon the report of the committee on credentials, no delegation whose seats were contested, were allowed to vote. This ruled out the con- tested seats in both the first and third wards, leaving the second and fourth ward delegates as the only city delegates entitled to a vote.
 The two contests were voted on separately, the First ward contest being the first to be voted on under a call for division of the question. The First ward contestants were seated by vote of II ayes to IT nays, the country delegates again casting the deciding vote.
 The GRAPHIC mentions these facts to show that the contesting dele gations from the two city wards had nothing to do in settling their own contest. They appealed to their fair-minded bretheren from the country, and ltbeir appeals for jus tice and fair play was sustained by both the committee on creden tials and the country delegates in the convention.

BreWs ter's Reply.

The Daily GRAPHIC yesterday con tained MT. Edgar Brewster's re- ply to tbe affidavit of Mr. J. M. Henry, and also to the affidavit of one Broadus, one of the election judges in Melton township Mr. Brewster clearly shows that he did not attempt to bulldoze Mir Henry, but merely asserted a legal right and made legal demand to see the poll-book of Barraque township with view of ascertaining the names of the voters in the late pri- mary in that township. It was his purpose to ascertain if there were any illegal votes cast in said town ship, and also to secure affdavits from those who voted as to their votes for Sheriff. The law gave Mir. Brewster the right to make this de- mand, as section 2666 of the digest declares the election judges shall re- turn one of the poll-books with the ballot box, and the other poll book shall be retained by one of the judges, f,{s for the inspection Qf all
 persons" In refusing Mr. Brew ster this privilege accorded him by law, Mr. Henry denied MT. Brew ster of legal right.
 It is a little strange that the law must be violated to conceal the poll book. Mr. Henry acted upon ad visement by telephone, we are in- formed, of Prosecuting Attorney Martin, whose election is also con- tested on the grounds of fraud and false election returns. But in doing so Mr. Henry violated the law, ard according to sec. 2667 of the digest is liable to a fDe. Sec. 2667 pro- vides among other things that if any judge of election shall fail to perform any of his duties prescribed by the election law, be shall forfeit $200 to be recovered by indictment. The GRAPHIC does not believe that Mr Henry would kaowiagly com init an unlawful act, but in this ease he was misinformed by one whose in terest it was to conceal the poH-book, and Mr. Henry's affidavit was therefore made under a mis- apprehension of Mr. Brewster's le- gal rights in the case.
 As to the affidavit of one Broadus, one of the election judges in Melton township, whose returns have been diseredited and shown by the afi- davits of the honest voters of the township to have been prostituted; it required no answer. It was made or hco@ay, but nevertheless Mir. Brewster answered it in unequiv- ocal terms.
 Turn on the search light.

A strong argument for fewer elec- tions is found ia the dissatisfaction that frequently exists among the people at results, There ought to be a change in the law. Four years ago Hon, R. F. Poster, of Cleveland county, endeayored to secure an amendment to the constitution of the state, providing for quadrennial elections. He very nearly sue eeeded, aud the efforts he made in that direction have not been for gotten. He will no doubt be member of the next house from Jefferson county, and will possibly undertake to secure the adoption of his amendment by the thirty-second general assembly.

TERRY o,BRIPN RUNS AMUcK.

Special Officer Jerry O'Brien of the Lee
Valley Railroad was called upon at
midnight last night to arrest a man who
was running amuck in the yards at the
foot of Washington street. lie had some
difficulty in arresting him. The man was
running about among the freight cars
iahbing at everyone with whom he came
in contact with a sharp instrument which
looked like a dagger, but which proved
to be a pair of sharp-pointed pincers. He
held up two men with the pincers and then
he tackled the yardmaster. h became
alarmed and summoned O'Brien. The
maj declared hat he was being pursued
by a mob.
At the Gregory street station it was
learned that he is Frank T. Hite of Will
iamspcrt, Pa. and that he is employed by
the New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company. He said that he had been
drinking heavily three days before he was
arrested, and that he had not since been
able to sleep. He was not drunk when
arrested. but appeared to be out of his
mind. In the First Criminal Court this
morning Police Justice Potts discharged
him on O'Brien's statement that he a
arrested him for safe keeping more than
for anything that he had done.
