NODES A LA 'ARRIET.
The Real "Loidsesu Carry Canes
Peculiar Way Of Bidding
GOoG-Ey.

"Whit week." writes q corresponds
ent of the London Telegraph, usually
sets the seal of adoption upon the
fashions which will prevail in those
classes to whom Southend is the ia
vorite watering-place and Hampstead
Heath the popular resort for Sunday
afternoons. Watching them during
the last few days, l have been unable
to discover any striking developments
in millinery or raiment, but there are
two directions in which the feminine
leaders of correct style in such circles
now mark their own originality. One
is by the carrying of a cane.
'Arriet now has her malacca or
wanghee tipped with plated mount,
or her cherry-wood crook, and swings
it much more self-consciously than
she would carry her more useful UNI
brella. The first time I saw walk
ing stick as an item in the full-dress
attire of our less af1luent citizenesses
was last July at beauty show in
Whitechapel. when an ebony crutch
was carried by one of the fair competi-
tors who secured a prize, but which
was objected TO by some Of the de-
feated rivals as unfair, though dis
tingue. 1t has now evidently won its
more general acceptance.
The other distinction lies in the
manner of bidding farewell. Those
in the "smart sets" of these social
ranks neither shake hands nor say
"good-by." They extend an arm an
gularly, turn the hand and fngers
downward, the palm being toward the
body, and stifiy jerk the hand out
ward three times. 1t is especially eff
fective through tram windows to
friends waiting on the pavement.

Preaching ana Practscine.

The Boston Transcript tells school
story which enforces the lesson that
preaching is of little use without prac-
ticing. In q school in Boston not far
above the primary grade, the teacher
was one day reading a story the sub
iect of which was borrowing. She sup
2lenented the reading with some re-
marks of her own. which she closed
with this parting admonition: "Above
all things, children, when you have &C.
aasion to borrow, never forget to re-
turn the borrowed article. Do not put
the person who was kind enough to ae-
commodate you to tie trouble of send
ing for it, While she was still speak
ing, q knock was heard at the door.
Come in," said the teacher, as soon as
she had finished her sentence. A pupil
from another department entered, and
stood waiting. "Wen, what is it,
nlease?" said the teacher. Miss
Blank says" the visitor called cut, in
! voice loud enough to be heard all over
he room, will you be Kind enough to
send back her blotting pad which you
borrowed the other dayt"

"FIGHTING JIM's'' BREAKFAST
An Incident of the Civil War Recalled
by Dewey's Goodness
at Eantln.

There was grim humor in Dewey
when he stopped sinking the Spanish
feet in order that the boys might not
miss their breakfast, as well as a wis
dom that is too infrequently accepted
by military leaders.
| The admiral's GOODNESS recalls an in
cident that took place in Mobile bay
about a third of a century ago, says
the Detroit Free Press. James e.
Jouett, afterwards rear admiral, was
then a lieutenant commander and in
charge of one of the union vessels. He
had an early morning unpleasantness
with confederate boat, commanded
by Lieut.. Murphy who had been
Jouett's classmate at Annapolis, where
they were warm friends before the
war.
On discovering who his enemy was,
Jouett Immediately ordered a fine
breakfast prepared and set doggedly
about the task of having his old chu1l
present rs guest. After some hot
fighting he succeeded in capturing
Murphy's boat. That gentlemen went
upon the deck where his captor stood
ready to receive him, the defeated Off
Ger having one arm in sling and using
his free hand to make q formal sur
render OF his sword. Appearing not to
notice this, Jouett leughingly chided
his friend for keeping breakfast wait
ing and escorted him to the table.
Murphy was hungry man and after
he had eaten like harvest hand, said:
"Jouett, if you had only sent ne word
about this breakfast would have sur
rendered an hour ago.

Can Arore to rznre a Cow.

Just after President Mchinley's IN
auguration he had his relatives who
were in the city at family dinner. it
the white house, says the Ladies' Home
Journal in an illustrated anecdotal
biography of the president. 1t was a
large company, and very good Gin
ner. Dear old Mother Mckinley was
there, but she was not very taIkative.
She was too happy for words. But she
kept sharp eye or the dinner, and no
detail of it escaped her. She was i'm
pressed By the quantity Of cream
served with the fruit and coffee, for
she looked up at her son in her sweet
way and said: william. YOU must
keep a COW now" Some OF The young

graciousness, replied: "Yes, mother.

KEEPING STEP WITH TIE MUSIC
Wen Who Nere< Get Their Left Foot
Hooked 10 tie Heavy Tap
OF rkc Drum.

1t is & curious fact, says 4 veteran,
that some men never learn to keep
step perfectly. There are some men,
sid soldiers perhaps, who can't help
falling into step when they hear mar
tiGl music-the left foot down at the
heavy tap of the drum. The very great
majority of men can learn to keep
step, but there are men who can't keep
step, or, as likely as not, march with
the right foot down at the heavy tap.
Somehow their left foot never gets
hooked on to that heavy tap as it
should. Every old soldier viii recol-
lect such nen--anybocy can see such
rcen at military parade, and this not
as result of confusion due to two
bands of music, one ahead and the
other at the rear. but lack Of the exact
time keeping instinct
The commanding officer Of q com
2any may be seen marching within
clear sound of his own music, with MS
right footdown at the heavy tap, while
the company will be ell right have
seen a commander of grand army
post marching in tine with the music,
but with his right foot down at the
heavy tap, end, as likely as not, he was
3 man who served from one end of the
war to the other.
The simple fact appears to be that
there are some men, as 1 said. who
never get their left foot fully and un-
failingly hooked on to the heavy tap of
the drum.

ROW AMONG THE X. OF Ps.
Officers May Refuse to stand for Re-
election on Account of the Election
of Col. Posten's Successor Whom they
Claim was not Legally Chosen.

Charles Fl. Geiger, of Wheeling, has
been commissioned Colonel of the first
regiment, West Virginia Brigade, u.
r., K. of p, and has issued general
order No. l, dated January 18th, as
Stunning command There was quite
a protest on the part of some of the
company officers of the regiment
against the issuing of this commits
sion, their claims being that the cleo
ton, held at Charleston last October,
was illegal From what we are able
to learn from company officer resid-
ing in this city, we are led TO believe
that great many of the company of
the first regiment will show their
"loyal and knightly obedience to their
new regimental commander by de-
Ginning TO stand for reelection to
their present offices at the coming
general election, which takes place
next month - Parkersburg State
Journal.
Col. Geiger succeeded Col. Posten of
this place, who had declined to accept
a reelection. The officers who par
tlcipated in the election was very
much stirred up over it and number
left the room when it was held, de
Ginning to be present They declare
that the new colonel was not legally
chosen and the feeling has grown 50
strong that number of the sabordi-
mates, as shown in the above article,
may refuse to serve under him.

MORE BOQUElS.
What another paper thinks Of us
Gives f. NJ. Grant lots of deserved
Credit.
Grafton Leader.

1t is truly wonderful to note the
utter Indifference on the part of the
leading business men of this city to-
ward its general welfare and pro-
gress. Most of our sister towns are
not only talking about securing in
dustries, but are actually acting in
the matter. A few years ago a num-
Der of gentlemen came to Grafton and
calmly looked over the grounds for
the purpose of locating the pulp mill,
which is now at Piedmont 1t is
said by an old citizen, who knew of
the affair, that the reception rendered
the gentlemen was so cold and I'M
encouraging that they quietly moved
on to other places 1t would be I'M
necessary for us to picture to the peo-
pie of Grafton the gigantic proper
tions Of those mills and their in
fuence on Piedmont were it not nee
essary to remind them that the en-
ployment given to its 500 hands
causes general prosperity around that
town. Two years ago the old sleepy
town of Morgantown awoke to the
fact that they never could amount
to much without manufactures of
some kind. They succeeded in get
ting glass factory. 1t is so sue
cessful beyond the expectations of
its management that we now find the
people OF that town meeting in mass
convention and subscribing large
sums toward securing another glass
factory. 1t looks, too as if the in
fiuence of one man has much to do
with such affairs. Before E. M.
Grant come from Pennsylvania to
MorgantoWn such movements were
seldom spoken Of, to say nothing of
actual results. What Morgantown
has done the city OF Grafton can
much more easily do. Can we not
secure some of the industries that
are trying to find a favorable place
to locate? Can we not convince
them by s'chink' and kindly bearing
that we are not hostile to them, but
on the contrary are very DESTROYS
of their presence? We think if the
proper effort is used it can be accom-
plished. Let us, therefore, awake
and act.

ADAM JACOBS INJURED.
Smashed Against Pier of the Browns

BROWNSVILLE, Jan. 23.-The
steamer Adam Jacobs struck the
pier of the river bridge here at D. M.
to-day, on her down trip, caying In
the side aft and left wheelhouse. The
river is high, and the bell ropes be-
coming crossed prevented the engin-
eer from hearing the signals.
After clearing the bridge the boat
turned almost over, and it was
thought to be sinking She righted
herself, however, and drifted on one
engine TO the Empire coal works, a
mile below town, when she was
caught by the steamers Mason and
Knox, both Of which started to her
rescue as soon as the accident happen
ed
The accident upset a stove in the
laundry, setting fire to the rear of
the boat, but the blaze was extin-
guished. The passengers and freight
were transferred to the Germania,

abled boat, which will be locked at

SENATOR WHITE CHOSEN.
man of the Democratic Campaign
Committee.

The choice of Senator White, of
California, as chairman of the Dem
ocratic congressional committee is a
triumph for the Western silver men,
who have been clamoring against
the choice OF an Eastern man on the
ground that he would be too conser-
vative on finance and against a
Southern man on the ground that he
would not sympathize with the par
ticular methods of politics that pre-
vail in the North and West and by
which political battles must be
fought To be won. The vote stood
Is for Senator White and Ii for
Senator Faulkner, although the lat
ter stated he had a big contest ON
hand in his own State of West Vir-
ginia, and did not care for re-clec-
ton Senator White, the new chair
man, upon whom will devolve the
duty of directing the congressional
campaign Of 1898, IS distinetively a
silver man. He advocated free coin
age at the ratio of Is to | as early
as 1890 in California When he came
to the Senate he continued his adj
vocacy Of the white metal, and has
made some notable speeches in that
body in behalf of 1t. More than
this, Senator White is an exper-
fenced campaigner, and has been
through some memorable contests in
the State of California. He is thor
oughly familiar with political tao
tics, and will have the confidence of
the Democratic party. The election
of Senator White, it is understood
is entirely acceptable to Mr. Bryan
and the Democratic leaders.
