utes the severest pains in extensive burns, and the relief continues for hours. When the first effect has ceas- ed it may be applied again and again without danger, since it is not poison ous. Being a powerful antiseptic, it promotes healing. On the unbroken skin it has no effect, but acts upon mu- cous membranes, and is expected to be found useful as local anesthetic pre- vious to surgical operations when the mucous membranes are involved. The utility of orthoform for dispelling pain in cases of Liberated cancer of the face, where constant and eXcruciating pain renders sleep impossible, has been am- ply demonstrated. In case of this sort fifty grains were during a week dusted over the cancer, with the hap piest result. In cancer of the stomach 1t has been found to be a useful ano- dyne, being administere internally with safety. Experimentation is still in pro- gress at Munich to determine fully the limitations of the new anesthetic, but 1t seems to be fully established that the world has in othoform a new blessing,

oUEER WORK ArA CIRCUS.


 It is frequently and strongly asserted by southern men and southern news papers that prejudice against the negro is really stronger in the North than in the South But an occurrence in Tar boro, North Carolina, Thursday, is de- cidedly against this assertion. A circus was diffusing excitement and joy in Tarboro, and George White, the negro Representative in Congress, sat in a sec tion reserved for the white people. When complaint was made by soms women sitting near him, he was asked by an usher and police officer to go to the section assigned to the negroes. This he declined to do, but when an- other usher and another officer threat ened forcibly to eject him he left the tent in anger.
 The North may not treat the negro right in all respects, but it is not ashamed to be seen at the circus with him, appreciating the show and the peanuts. Pure Democracy is very much at home when roasting on cir GUS seat. The white people of Tarboro, North Carolina, are evidently not free and equal.

FASHION NOTES.
Tailor Girls Vests.

Vests, or more properly waistcoats, are to be much worn under tailor-made
 coat costumes. They either button down the front, being cut to show dicky and linen collar, or are finished with choker collar and button to the chin. Pique striped and figured Is being used for vesting and will be used all winter, but French fianneling dotted and cov- cred with small figures or stripes is more in favor. Some very striking waistcoats are made of bandanna hand kerchiefing. The high neck waistcoat is really worn as the shirt waist has

THEY WASHED IT OFF.

Miss Grace S. Moynan, rich and beautiful New York girl r years old, and therefore fully capable of wisely choosing for herself, has chosen to have Christianity washed off of her in order that she might marry Hebrew The ceremony was interesting and thor ough. Accompanied by two female at tendants she went to the home of Rabbi Birkowitz Having disrobed she en- tered the bath, the two female attend ants standing close at her side. Then the rabbi and his assistants entered the room, demanding if she had re- nounced all other religions. and the girl answering in the bath-tub that she had, and also answering a further question that she accepted the Hebrew religion fully, the rabbi proceeded to give her and her parents Jewish names. Miss Moynan's name was Grace; the rabbi changed it to Rebecca. Her mothers name is Sarah; he changed it to Rachel, and the fathers name, Will liam, was changed to Isaac. The en- tire ceremony lasted an hour. After the giving of the names the rabbi left the room and the female attendants bathed Miss Moynan, using all their strength, the idea being to cleanse her from any taint of Christianity"
 There is no reason to doubt that all the Christianity Miss Moynan was trou- bled with has been washed off of her.

been under coat, and you are not sup posed to take your coat off in the win ter With waistcoats favoredby ladies' tailors, it is but natural that dressmak- CTS should follow suit by devising ef- fects, and they are doing 1t generally. The accompanying picture presents one of the most attractive models from this output. It simply was a jacket bodice having triple fronts, each front with it's revers. The inner fronts were held to- gether with tiny buttons and cord loops, and ending several inches above the others simulated a waistcoat very effectively. Brown cloth was the jack ct material, blue surah gave front and collar and black jet buttons ornament ed the outer front.
 Gloves actually with twenty buttons on them are to be worn with short sleeved gowns for the party season. Think of how the terrors of getting ready" are thus increased and of the miseries of selecting gloves. The kid is undressed> and the glove must seem moulded to the arm, yet must be loose enough that the buttons will not pull. In difference to those who are appalled, at the miseries attached to so many buttons, there are mousquetaire gloves twenty three button length made to fit close and hardly show any wrinkles. When these fit we'll they are just as be- coming to the arm as the tighter-but- toned glove, and the outline of the arm is not interfered with by buttons. But there will be some demure maids who will think of what a nice time George will have buttoning all the way from the wrist to above the elbow, and, be- sides, such gloves are the latest.

SOME MEAN CRIMINALS,

Chicago is a wicked city, but they occasionally do a good thing there. For instance, they have just convicted two villains who conspired to wreck a build ing and loan association Edward O. ToWne and John l.. Mowatt are the men, and so complete and convincing was the evidence against them that the jury voted unanimously for conviction on the first ballot. It was charged by the prosecution that Towne and Now att had deliberately attempted to wreck the association by inducing stockholders to sign a petition for re- ceivership on the representation that the financial affairs of the association were in such bad shape that insolvency was inevitable Testimony was pro- duced to support the charge that cor rupt measures, practically amounting to bribes, were used in some instances to obtain signers to the petition. Fail- ing to obtain as many signers as the law requires for such a petition, it was shown that the defendants induced a confederate, and his wife and daugh- ter, to buy some shares of stock so that they might sign the petition. It was also shown that one of the defend ants had received a thousand dollars from a building and loan association in Chicago for dropping a similar conspir- acy to force a receivership upon it af- ter the requisite number of signatures had been secured through fraud and misrepresentation.
 Men who plot to steal the savings of the poor deserve prompt and severe punishment. Robbing building and loan association is as mean crime as robbing a savings bank.

A BISHOP IN THE BI1sH.


 A correspondent sends us an extract from Australian Bush Leaves, con- corning the Bishop of Northampton, Queensland written by companion on one of his bush tours. It is to this eff feet:
 T hope it is not unseemly, but I did long to have been able to send you a snap shot of the bishop boiling the billy; of course he wouldn't trust a miserable new chum to make a fire; he allowed me to fetch the water and bring him a twig now and then but he himself attended to the important mat ter of the billy, and with good deal of awe and admiration I watched my bishop in short coat and white hat tied on on one side with boot-lace and on the other with a piece of string; blue sun-glasses to protect his eyes in his hands tomahawk, chopping down trees and making his fire stirring his tea with piece of stick and hosting the billy off the blaze with bit of bent wire.''
 Of the same bishop, who is man of commanding presence-he is six feet two inches in helght--a good story is told He had got out of his travelling suit, and into the garments in which we most usually recognize bishops, and he was walking outside the house at one of the stations the mistress of which was famous for fine poultry. There were two little black children playing on the ground, and as the bsh- op drew near they stopped their game and gazed open-mouthed at him; after considerable pause for astonishment, one little child jumped up, ran to his mother and said with profound awe, My word, mother big fellow rooster. ?
