New STYLES for Fur Coats.


Although many of the new fur coats
are cut after the fashion of the Rus
sian blouse, we would not advice buy
ing a garment of that style, IA it is
sure to be out of fashion by next win
ter. In the most recent importation
of fur coats the short REFER jacket
seems to have the preference. Com
ing in so late, this cut of coat is sure
to remain popular second season,
and it also has the advantage of be-
ing easily remodeled. The new reef
er is cut with high storm collar and
broad lapels. This particular style
Of garment is seen in seal, Persian
lamb, astrakhan, wool seal, Alaska
sable, and krimmer. From "Review

COMMISSIONERS
PROCEEDINGS
AS Commented on by the Differ.
ent Journals OF the County.

Adrian Democrat: ~
Is it cheaper to pay half legal rates
for 600 circulation than it is to pay
full price for over 1900 circulation
There are newspapers and newspa-
pers, but majority of the honorable
board of county commissioners owl
IDENTIFY don't know it,
How we apples swim! The official
papers," aggregating the phenomenal
circulation of 600, appear to be the
only roosters in the hen house.
The board of county commissioners
ought to apply for job as advertis-
ing agents for Royal Baking Powder
and Hoods Sarsaparilla. They could
then secure some pointers on circula-
ton.
The board of county commission
ers has done it's part in resayding the
progress of the newspapers that have
been more efficient than any other
agency in building up Mobiles county.
In Iowa the two papers proving the
highest circulation are awarded tho
county printing. In Mobiles county,
Minnesota, the three papers aggre-
eating circulation less than any one
of the other five get it. This is dis
tinction and also a difference.
The Ellsworth News boasts of ten
subscribers in Adrian, the Bigelow
Signal 4, and the Kinbrae Postage
Stamp l, probably a. 'comp." 1t is
not likely that any Of these newspa-
pers reach Rushmore, st. Kilian
Brewster or Round Lake, and we
doubt if any of them send ton copies
to Worthington. How we'll informed
people of Mobiles county are to be of
the business affairs of tho county!
The plain intent of the law is that
the people of the county should bs
made familiar with the proceedings
OF the board by publication in the
leading newspaper or newspapers.
By giving the work to insignificant
sheets with no circulations outside
their own dooryards by no means
constitutes publication: Even
though it complies with tho letter of
law, the spirit and intent is absent.
As far as the Democrat is con-
cerned it doss not need contributions
from the county board to subsist,
and the same is probably true of the
other papers cleft in the cold," but
nevertheless the boards action is a
gross injustice to the people of the
county, who have heretofore looked
to these papers for the official publ
cations. Now they have no means of
knowing what the county officials are
doing.
The ECONOMY" of the boards &C.
ton will hardly be appreciated by
the people Of the county. If it is
cheap at $3.50 to put the official work
in the hands Of IL per cent of tho tax
payers, how much more expensive is
it to put it into the hands of 95 per
cent at $5OO7 The board is either a
poor judge of the circulations of the
Worthington and Adrian newspapers
or they have taken an unwise action.
to be regretted particularly by the
people of the county, whose servant
tho board is supposed to be.

DOWNFALL OF THE PIRATE CWritten for Little Alfonso.)

There was once a Black hearted Pirate. He spoke only in fierce Thunder tones and he Killed Little Children. He car ried Knife between his Fe-ro-ci-ous Teeth, and he dotted on Blowing uI Ships in the Night. Women Trem-bled before him, and when he saw that. he used to Swell with Pride, and say aloud What a Great and Cruel Pirate I am! am. the Cru-ell-est that ever was. am not afraid of the babe at the mo- thers breast. kill sick people and am not tim-id, that is, if they are very sick. '
 But one day a Tall White Mar took the Cruel Pirate by the neck and kicked him till he could not see. Then the Cruel Pirate dropped his glea-ming Knife and wept and screamed: "I am not Cruel Pirate. I am Good and Peace-able Will no kind gen-tle-man help Poor Old Cripple against this Ruf-fian?"
 But all the people laughed and said Kick him again"
 And the Tall White Man was very strong and a good kicker, and when he had kicked the Cruel Pirate about three thousand miles there was a Great Demand for Man-tel-pie-ces in Spain at Meal times.-New York Press.

CODyrlghted
 ALGECIRAS, April 2S.-During the early hours of the morning the torpedo boat destroyer Destructor and the tor pedo- boats Habana and Barcelona were sent away without word of notice. We had left them moored within two hundred yards of our pier last night. When the earliest riser awoke they were gone. In the afternoon the two torpedo boats returned, taking their moorings at Sandy Bay, about three miles away from here. In the evening they returned here.
 The Destructor was out all day re- connoitering. She has now her full complement of hands, two torpedo ex- perts and sailors having, arrived from Cadiz yesterday. She has now been in- cessantly reconnoitering for two days. There is great curiosity as to her mo- tive. Another Spanish cruiser passed here at o'clock this afternoon. It was probably the Alfonso XIII going west and surely bound for CadiZ. It is cLn- firmed that the ship which passed last evening going that way was the Pelayo.
 Much excitement was caused here last night by sudden call for the crew to join the British cruiser Charybdis. She promptly started out and orders were given to get ready for action.
 The report was that an encounter was about to take place, the British being determined to maintain the neutrality of their waters. At the same time the special land guard was mounted and all preparations were made. Her guns were trained and the Charybdis fired one shot to warn any trespassers happen ing to be about.
 The action of the two torpedo-boats and the torpedo boat destroyer are the subjects of much comment here. The latter keeps unceasingly reconnoitering on the other hand for the Fleur de Lys an American yacht, and on the other for a warship SUI Gsed to have been purchased by the United States from Italy, and also for ships carrying sulphur to the United States. Several of the latter have been instructed to al- ter their course so as to avoid all dan- ger.
 The FIeur de Lys, according to no- tice received here, has put into Lisbon having been warned of the danger awaiting her. It is stated that the De- structor stepped several merchant ships at the south of this point. It is said that an American merchantmen is expected to run in here. If that is true she will come in during the night. Once here or within three miles she is under British protection which will be rig idly maintained. -~t

story of two cadets. Their names are Boone and Pettingill. They were graduated from the Annapo- lis Naval Academy ahead of time, about April I, and hurried off to the flagship. Cadet PettingiIl took alarm at the prospect of the New York being ordered out of these waters and fearing he would then miss the fighting asked to be trans ferred to the Puritan. Cadet Boone remained on. board the New York and it was he who fired the first shot in sterday'S lombard ment. Cadet Pettingill was in the fight too, on board the Puritan, and had the pleasure of sending the shell into the Spanish batteries. They were both very happy "wa- ter babies," as their friend Captain Goodrell of the marines ca Ills them, but Cadet Boone IS the happier.
 The lesson the artillery experts draw from the engagement is that the Spaniards have no batteries that cannot be destroyed by an attacking force. To be success fully defended the Spanish must have recourse to their favorite weapon-the submarine mine.
 No shots were fired from shore yesterday from larger guns than S. inch. A. very few shells were fired. Most of the missiles were solid shot and came from the guns of 4 or 5 caliber. At the time the New York began to fire the Span iards were mounting some Io-inch cannon, made at the Hontoria Gun Factory. If these can be got in position the Spaniards will have some really servioeable weapons against our cruisers.
 The Spanish cable announcing the total of the casualties of the enemy as one mule was read to- day with a smile of increduIity. Those who witnessed this engage ment are satisfied the Spanish suf- fered great loss. The famous long shot from the Puritan was seen to dismount the gun that fired the last Spanish shell, and everything around flew into fragments from the bursting of the monitors mis- Sile.
