Travelling dresses for this seasons
wear are models of good taste COM
bined with common sense. The most
serviceable suitings are used, the most
popular being the French mohairs in
all shades.
These are sometimes embroidered
with a small polkadot. Mohair, be-
sides being an ideal cloth to shake the
dust, lends itself so we'll to the pre-
vailing style of clinging gowns that it
is great favorite.
Perhaps, however, the English or
Scottish cheviots are smarter. They
are comfortable enough for a warm
day when worn over taffeta or cotton
shirtwaist, as the Jackets are faring
and unlined, and can be carried over
the arm. AS the skirts are all oddly
cut or braided, they have an air that
mohairs have seldom boosted in past
days; hence dignity which raises
them to the style of absolute novelty.
There is legend of an old lady who
gave her granddaughter mohair dress
for wedding present. 1t was one
which she had brought from England
with her 40 years ago, and was there-
fore treasured possession.
Il give it to you my dear" said she,
because it will wear forever and make
petticoat afterward."

A TRAVELLING HANDBAG.
Woman Supplies it With Cheaper Ar

The travelling case or handbag is one
of this seasons novelties. If you want
the more extravagant kind you may
purchase a splendid hogskin bag OF
English make, looking on the outside
like handbag or grip" When you
open it you see on the inside delight
full number OF travelling conveniences.
Lining one side is a great number of
uo,,les, cut glass and silver topped,
each in its separate receptacle and so
fastened that they are firm. On the
other side you will behold brushes of
all kinds, also in silver.
Your handbag is now completely

LUCKY YOUTHS.
Wealthy Woman Left Her Estate to
Young Soldiers.

Mays Landing, June 1S.-Samuel
Scull, of this place, well-known
young man and the village lamp
lighter, also hero of the Spanish
American war, has received word
from Frank H. Moore of st. Louis
that he has fallen heir to half interest
with H. S. Smith of Utah, also a hero
of the war, TO a large estate valued at
$4,000 located in st. Louis occa-
stoned by the death of Miss Annie E.
Thompson, wealthy woman at Kan
sas City. Recently Scull and Smith
were members of the twelfth regiment,
U. S. A. regulars, and in that famous
charge at Ell Caney Mr.. Scull was
wounded in the right limb, but it was
not of serious nature. Later both
he and Smith were seized with typhoid
malaria and conveyed to the Fort
Mcpherson hospital at Georgia. Here
they were tenderly nursed by Miss
Thompson, member of the Red Cross
society. For nearly two months the
young men were confined to their
beds and during all this time Mr.. Scull
states that Miss Thompson was always
near and ready to supply their wants.
When the young men were so that
they could get around they assisted
Miss Thompson in caring for the
others afflicted. In this the trio be-
came attached to each other, and
when the young men were we'll enough
to leave the hospital their parting was
very pleasant and Miss Thompson
asked the young men to write to her
and hoped they would meet again.
Both young men were honorably dis
charged from the army and nothing
was heard from either Miss Thomp-
son or his comrade until he received
the letter stating that he had fallen
heir to the half interest in the property
above mentioned. Mr.. Scull, who is
highly elated over his good fortune,
will leave in few days to look after
his interest in the property.

over it is obvious that could such cor
rect basis of representation be secured
there would arise a desire on the part
of the South for the political advantage
derived from the representation which
would be afforded by allowing the
colored man to vote. Moreover the
condition of things in the South today
under the existing political advantage
it possesses cannot be viewed with I'M
allowed satisfaction by the thoughtful
citizen of that section. He sees in a
solid South possessed of undue pro-
portional power a menace not only to
the best interests of the country hut to
the South itself, Columns might be
written describing this evil in its de-
tails and ramitications. Sufficient here
TO allude to the significant fact that
when Organism lifted its head and
there was cleavage in political parties
along the lines of new issues the South
was felt to be solid for the Democratic
nominee, not because the majority APP
proved of the principles he advocated
but because it would support a party
nominee and stitle individual prefer
ences by the prejudices of the color
line. All this is illustrative of great
evil and confirmatory of the perpetual
ton of sectionalism. Possibly when

two reasons:
First: An absolute lack OF space.
Second. The obvious prophecies of

easily dispense with our telegraph, To-

A Sorry Alternative Proposed.

Notwithstanding the fact that events
in the growth of this country have con-
tinually produced accommodating evil
dence that the policy begun over a
century ago, the protection Of our own
shipbuilding interests and facilities, is
the correct one. it is noticeable that
the minority opposition to the ship sub
sidy bill proposes as an alternative free
ships. This has been one of the pet
theories to which the Democratic party
has long chung after the manner of the
cat that was dropped from the tree
through the loosening of a piece of
bark, but kept tight hold of the bark
throughout her fall.
The Democratic party would have
had us buy our naval vessels abroad as
quite so strenuous about the former.
The contrary policy was pursued with
the result that we are building better
ships. practically as cheaply, than can
be done in foreign yards. There is ex-
cellent reason to suppose that within a
few years and under like stimulation
we could build better iron merchant
steamers than is done in any country.
But even when we do this and were we
to have free ships there would remain
the stumbling block of foreign sub
sides with which other countries en-
courage their shipping interests. With
better pay and better food for our sea-
men the American vessel owner is still
handicapped when he gels his vessels
as cheaply as his foreign competitor.
Whatever may be done about the sub
sidy bill it is not to be expected that
Congress will resort to free ships.

Hope Of Spring Making Itself Felt.

Trade reports indicate that the bust
ness of the country not only quickly
recovered from the disastrous storm
ana cold wave, but has been doing on an
increased scale to make up for lost
time. OF course this cannot be said Of
the orange growers. who lost their
trees: though this loss does not now
appear to be as serious as the seller of
oranges would have us believe Nor
can the mining industry in Colorado
make up for the lost time and the
check to operations brought about by
the great storm, and the consequent
snowslides which choked many of the
mines and in several instances swept
away the ore. 1t is estimated this set
back lessened the years output by at
least 100000.
Possibly some of the spirit and en-
ergy with which business resumed
after digging itself clear of the snow
was due to the encouragement occa-
stoned by the contrast between the
weather that followed and the weather
which preceded the time in which Old
Boreas. after terrible spell of zero
temperature, decided to blow himself
and did. The entire country expert
enced sense of relief over what
