ALWAYS AILING.
Are Met with Among the
Chinese.

In an interview In the Young Man
with DR.. Charles Wenyon, the ia
nous medical missionary in China we
are told that medical science in China
| is not as advanced as it was in Rome
1900 years ago. The so-called doctors
cannot tie an artery. open an abscess,
| or reduce adislocated limb.
Every Chinaman has got something
rea, or imaginary the matter with him,
and there was great curiosity to see
| tie methods of the foreigners; there
fore, when DR.. Wenyon arrived there
was no lack of patients. They came
daily by the hundreds from far and
near-from an area three or four times
that of England. In II years they
numbered many thousands, and some
of them, as DR.. Wenyon says, because
the center of an influence more or less
! favorable to western thought and west
ern men. DR.. Wenyon has many GU
rious stories to tell in connection with
the medical work.
The literati, who are the great in
stigators of riot and murder in China
declared that they ought to open q
rival hospital, and they did open one,
A staff of native doctors" was found
and the building WINS called 'The Hall
of Ten Thousand Virtues" 1t was o
splendid building, but somehow that
did not assist the cures. Two afflicted
friends came to Fatshan, and they de.
cided one to GO TO DR.. Wenyon's hos
pital and the other to the rival place,
In three weeks DR.. Wenyon's patient
was well, and on going for his friend to
the other hospital, found that he was
dead. The doctor tried to console him
by saying that they had buried him in
a splendid coffin.
"In fact, coffins were great neces-
sity at that hospital" says DR.. Wen
yam. "When went there l found that
they had laid in a good stock. So the
people came to US. 1t was question
of coming to our hospital for cure
or going to the Hall of Ten Thousand
Virtues for coffin. One day there
came a stately gentleman, a learned
man belonging to the upper classes
having a painful disorder needing sur
gical treatment. Hehired private room
and l operated on him, ard In fort
night he was well. He had not tolt
me who he was, but before he went
away he said: You might like to know

ut was country wedding-not at a
fine country place, but in an everyday
two-story house on the outskirts of a
village. The bride had been out in the
fields gathering goldenrod and cardinal
Aowers-this was in September; and
she arranged them herself about the
sitting-room and the parlor. The
bridegroom came, I remember, on the
noon train. There was no servant kept
in that house and the bride received
'.all the guests-there were not many
and when the minister came, she took
the bridegroom's wrong arm and said

vest slopes down to meet the tablier
at the waist. Green satin revers, COW
cred with white chiffon frills, turn
back from the vest and form big,
picturesque collar. The neck is slight
" open in front; the transparent
sleeves are of white mousseline de sole.
A second tea gown is of pink lib
erty silk under an open coat OF cream
lace, which reaches nearly to the
ground. The hem of the silk is orna-
mented with light. graceful design in
gold thread. A huge bow of cream silk
muslin is caught to the bust. The
muslin sleeves are sprinkled lightly
with gold.
An afternoon dress suitable for wear
until quite late in the autumn is OF
green satin foulard with figuring re-
sembling festoons of lace and roses.
An open polonaise is simulated in lace
lattice work, and the bodice is finished
with fichu draperies of the foulard
caught upon the bust in handkerchief
bow. The white satin vest is laid in
clustered tucks; the sleeves are plain
and tight, with deep wrist ruffies. The
draped satin belt matches the tint OF
the roses in the small toque of green
straw.
An autumn reception gown forms
combination of old blue and white
striped silk and deep shade of blue
taffeta. A band of white silk edges the
dark blue of the skirt, and this is out
lined by spiral design in narrow blue
and gold cording. The vest front is oil
the striped silk, and the waist is deco
rated with three plated ruff1es OF
white chiffon. The white silk belt is
secured by broad clasp of solid gold.
The newest hats show good deal OF
autumn foliage in vivid colors. Scar
let geraniums are much used for trim
! mings and the deep tones of the car
dinal flower. Some of the newest large
hats have strings, but it is doubtful II
the innovation will have any great
success. A directoire hat of moss
| green straw has brim which turns
sharply up in front and is caught tc
the crown by true-lovers' knot OF
moss-green velvet, from which rise
aigrettes of feathery golden-rod
Jetted or sequined wings are seen
more is the pity; they have little to
recommend them.

One of the finest wedding dresses
made this autumn Is Princess robe
of white satin Duchesse, rather more
than demi-train. The glove-fitting
bodice has neither belt nor waist orna-
ment of any sort to break the grace

is set on with narrow ruche of white
chiffon, describing wavy line, and is
embroidered with roses and true-loyers'
knots, done in white silk and pearls.
The neck of the low-cut bodice is filled
in with drawn chiffon. circled with
tiny ruches and draped with founce
of old Brussel applique lace. The
transparent sleeves, very slightly full
at the shoulders, are of chiffon also.
A long tu.le veil and knot of orange
blossoms are intended for the hair.
Another wedding gown, of white
satin also, has train of brocaded
satin arranged from both shoulders.
The low bodice turns away in revers
of Brussel lace over a chemisette of
drawn white null, reaching the waist
line. The skirt is trimmed with Brus-
sells lace iounces.
A dress of beautifully soft white lib
erty satin, almost transparent in tex
ture, has a train yard or more in
length, which is lined with a pale,
shimmering pink satin and edged be-
meath with thick but soft rouleau of
pink chiffon. The skirt has froth of
. pink chiffon inside the hem and is
trimmed with Brussels lace fiounces.

lions of lace. Their sashes were of
turquoise-blue tulie and their hats OF
white straw, trimmed with white os-
trich plumes and blue chiffon. In an
other instance the bridesmaids gowns
were of pale, striped China silk; and
they wore hats covered with roses.
Some heavier dresses were of shot silk
in rich shades of mauve, with yoke and
sash of white chiffon. These were ac-
companied by large black picture hats
with big bows of white tulle in front
and roses clustered under the brim.
White serge is a favorite material
for an autumn going-away gown.

have lately seen examples Of both
crap poplin and gray bengaline. The
poplin travelling dress had revers OF
old rose feurs de velours, covered with
guipure; it was worn with gray hat,
buried under plunes. The bengaline
was trimmed with white satin and
steel passementerie.
A going-away dress which daringly
anticipates an expected fashion of the
coming winter has sweeping cloth
skirt of green diagonal and coat OF
smoke blue, curiously heightened In
appearance, with its cutaway front
and long slope behind. At the throat
is lace and chiffon boa; the hat is a
fine green chip trimmed with superb
black ostrich plumes; under the brim
is bunch of carmine roses. The hat
is not three-cornered, but it recog-
nizes the fact that, conceivably, hat
might be SO.
Sometimes ornamental dust coats
are seen with such gowns. One of shot
blue and white alpaca has a gathered
yoke, from which falls long, full cape

orange blossoms.
A wedding gown of white silk muslin
is mounted over white taffeta and fin
ished as to its skirt with five tiny ruff
fees, edged with valenciennss, the taf-
feta underskirt being ruffied also. The
muslin does not lie on the ground
more than six inches, and it is well to
remember that trains of more than
the most modest length are out of
place with thin materials. There is q
low-cut under-bofiice of taffeta and a
high one of muslin, which is made very
light and girlish in effect by handker-
chief epaulettes, lace-edged and wing
like. The muslin closes down the left
side under lace cascades. Ehe muslin
sash is edged all about with miniature
ruches and is finished at the waist
with cluster of orange blossoms.

with the same flowers.

SMALLPOX AT AKRON,
But Not as Bad as Reported-lively Fight Over
 Greensboro Postoffice.
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Greenville, Ala, Feb. 1.-The statement in some of the papers that there are twen- ty-four cases of smallpox at Akron in this county, is a mistake. There never were but two or three cases of even suspicious character there, and these cases were so mild that is believed they were nothing more serious than chickenpox, or some had the disease were confined to their beds.
 There is lively fight going on among some of the republicans over the appoint ment of the postmaster in Greensboro. The fight is between w. White Jones, who for many years was the only white radical in the county, and was postmaster under Harrison; Dr. Edwards, white man, who lately drifted from some portion of Pen nessee. Thos. Hilton, who only a few years ago a dyed-in-the-wool black belt Democrat, but who has repented of his former ways, and has gone into the re- publican camp, and Ad Wimbo, colored, who is the leader of the colored republi- cans in the county. It is thought the fight is between Hilton and Wimbo. Hil- ton claims to have the endorsement of Dr. Hughes and Vaughan. Wimbo says. Vaughan and Youngblood have endorsed him and that he is sure to get the office. The latter is just from Washington and is very sanguine of success. Dr. Edwards says he has Mark Hanna's endorsement. And so it goes.
