spring season of 90 and one which is
being greatly worn.
Lent comes so early this zeal that
January and February promise to be gay
indeed. A great deal in the entertain
ment line must be crowded in the few
weeks between New Year and Lent, for
in Paris the fashionable world does not
really get back to town before the Christ
mas holidays, and at the first approach
of Lent all the gaiety will shut down.
All the world win observe Lent as
never before this year, for all the world
has special cause for prayer or for
thanksgiving. There never vas such a
Lenten season in Europe as there will be
this year, and Paris is looking forward
to its coming with dread, for then every
one say goodbye to good times.
1t is whispered that even skating will
be frowned upon by good folk during
Lent, but it is very doubtful if religious
proclivities can be carried into the harm

A private glance at advance Easter
styles showed some remarkable hat de-
signs. but scarcely a word can be whis-

me he was about leaving on a journey to
Alaska. l sprung the Russian coat. He
said he was going where Russian coats
were thrown in for good measure. How
ever, when 1 had explained el%oquently,
he said he would make me an advance,
take the coat for security, and store it.
That was easy, and 1 telegraphed my
friend to start the Russian, and it
reached Washington on time. l rushed
back to New York with the advance, re-
deemed the gun, and started with it to
see the third man.
He said to me:
How is your friend?'
Every poorly I said. And I didn't
say it in any suspicious. manner 1t was
pitched just right.
What are his chances for getting

the gun.

won't last six months 7 replied.

the gun.
"Of course 1 said yes, and the man
with the gun said he would go with me
then.

hot clear through. / said to him in my
most commercial manner:
"'You can see him as soon as you like,

this transaction stops with the IN. You
have it, and that premium is due the day
after tomorrow
HE answered that he would like to
see my friend, and I too him to the
house We arrived just in time. My
friend had rugged himself out for a
chicken hunt. He had borrowed a gun
from the butcher. I rushed the third
man into my room, and then rushed
into the adjoining room and ordered my
friend to get under cover and cough at
every respiration. I then rushed back
to my room and mysteriously beckoned

was gasping. 1 shall never believe George

and 1 nave his ashes under seal.

toed back to the place of beginning, and
said in a whisper:
"Ill take the gum

and said it looked old and rusty, but he
would take it. He knew George would
not own a poor u He counted out the
premium; we exchanged memorandums,

turn the corner l went to my friends
room and we talked over the situation,
We figured up my interest in the policy
and made a note Of it. Then he crawled
out from under the cover; put on his
hunting clothes and took up the fowling-
piece from the corner. He laughed. II
was a sort of horse laugh, such as I had
heard him make years ago. When he
laughed that way 1T was good for five
minutes. When he had finished h said
to me:

LATEST FAD IN BELTS.

Something new in the belt line is eter-

for a crush belt of broad velvet ribbon of
brilliant hue, such as burnt orange, vel

skating the length of the dress had been
exactly right as the height of the skate
had regulated the length.
The skating pattern Of the popular
skirt is rather flaring around the foot

A word about the petty little fur caps

AFUR TRIMMING.
The trimming for the beautiful fur hat
of '99 is two fur tails which are so ar
ranged that they stand upright at the
side of the hat. The crown of the hat
is of fur with ofttimes a brim or a finish
of velve which is twisted around the
crown. The velvet may be in one of the
new shades of green with a crown of
mink and two mink tails erected at the
side. This is the ideal fur toque for the

Powcll's "Whitworth' was heard
some distance to the right; the officer
was seen to stagger and fall, and the
brilliant career Of that gallant and dis
tinguished soldier, Maj. Gen. Sedg-
wick, commandant of the Fifth Fed
eral army corps, was closed, and
closed forever. Powell reported at
once that he had killed aFederal gen.
eral, but we knew not his name nor
rank until it came out few days la
ter in the Northern papers, announc-
ing that Gen. Sedgwick had been
killed by Confederate sharpshooter;;
which fact so published has gone into
history, but the name Of the man be-
hind the gun has never before been
mentioned.

Bobby as g Court Crier.

A Springfield lawyer has a son
about 10 years Of age, and daughter
about twice that age. The boy has
been around the courthouse good
deal with his father, and the young
woman has a steady beau. The other
evening the young man passed the
house and the young woman desired to
speak to him.
"Bobby," she said to her little
brother, won't you please call Mr..
Brown"
Bobby knew the state of affairs, and
he hurried to the front door and called
out in the usual loud monotone Of a

serving the faults and follies Of others
and trying to avoid them, or we may
learn it from our own bitter expe-
rience. Let engaged people observe
and reflect upon the matrimonial sue
cesses and failures they see around
them, and they will discover that do
mestic bliss does not come from
having large house, servants, horses,
and so forth, but from having in a
home, whether large or small, two
"bears, and from paying attention to
two first things. The "bears, Of
course, are bear and forbear, the spirit
of self sacrifice and Of liberation, and
the two first things are the first quar-
rel and the first year of married life.
A poor girl who had got black eye
was asked how she got it. She an
swered: "From my sweetheart, and
then added: "He could not have done
more If he had been married to me. !"
Some engaged people quarrel almost
as much as if they were married.
This is bad, for it forms the habit Of
nagging and trying to get the last
word 1t may be said that engaged
people speak to each other with their
eyes, and with their mouths only
when they are married. We hope
that they do, and that some of them
will not use their tongues too much
afterwards. The first year Of married
life is more important than any, or
perhaps than all, that follow. 1t
might be called what the fifth propo-
sition of the first book Of Euclid is
called-the "Ass's Bridge" A lady
said lately, in my hearing, in order to
account for the unhappiness she had
suffered in married life, ooh, we be-
gan all wrong" The best thing we
can wish those of our readers who are
going to be married is that they may
begin all right, and not all wrong.

What is Good Society.

Somebody said he would like to get
into good society. 1t started the
question, What is good society?
Good society is that where toadyism
is frowned upon and scandal mongers
are not admitted.
Good society is that where one earns
ones title Of gentlewoman, not by
birth only, but by good manners.
Good society is that where to under
stand Greeks of less Importance than
to understand courtesy in all its laws.
QGood society is that which is not
personal in its talk, but which finds
sufficient topic Of interest to discuss
without dilating on the sins Of its
neighbors.
Good society is that where the art
of welcoming the coming and speed
ing the parting guest is graciously
practiced.
Good society is that where people
are not hastily judged, but once they
are believed to be untruthful, deceit
full, and ill-bred they are ostracized.
Good society is that which can give
dinner without sending a notice Of
it TO the newspapers, can introduce
a daughter without having her frocks
made the subject of paragraph, and
which believes that the family and
its happiness is of more Importance
than the booming Of beauty or the
being counted among the Four Hun
dred.
Good society is that which while it
recognizes the value Of all the con-
ventional rules, is yet sufficiently
strong to be guided occasionally by
the heart, aud not of necessity to
follow leader, as sheep do.
Good society is that where mother
knows that her daughter or her son is
safe.
Good society is that which is form
ed when two or three are met together
in pleasant converse. You can. if
you will, though yours be only room
in boarding house, make there the
best society in the world.

Killing OF Gen. Sedgewick.
TO the Editor of the State.

TO the Editor ofthe State:
You republished what l said in the
Abbeville Medium about Capt. 0. B
Warwick, Of the Eighteenth U. S. in
fantry, whc was killed in skirmish
in the Philippines, Nov. 26. You
gave credit to the Press and Banner
through inadvertence, and make no
complaint, but write to make correc
tion in what [ wrote and to tell some
strange condolences about the killing
Of Gen. Sedgewick. Lieut.. Charles
R. Paul was not in the company with
Capt. Mclaughlin and Lieut.. Warwick
who were here in 1874. He came i'll
1876 with Capt. Lloyd and Lieut..
Barnhart. I took him to big politi
cal meeting at Due West, where we
had brass band, red shirts, negro
Democratic speakers and two pitchers
on the stand. 1t was an interesting
experience for him.
Lieut.. Paul afterwards married IL
daughter Of Gen. Rains, who was an
old army officer, but resigned and
came South. He had had charge
of a Confederate foundry in Au-
gusta during the war between the
States.
Lieut.. Paul told me that he was sit
ting on horse near Gen. John Sedge-
wick when he was killed by one Of
McGowan's sharpshoo.ers at Spott-
sylvania Court House. Paul was act
ing on his staff and Gen. Sedgewick
was giving orders about bringing up
some commissary wagons. In few
minutes the word passed down our
line that one of our sharpshooters had
killed Yankee general.
Some years ago while dining with
Hon. J. j. Darlington, in Washing
ton, D. c., his father-in-law, an ell
derly minister, told me that he saw
the body Of Gen. Scdgwick when it
landed in that city, and that Gen.
Sedgewick was tie only man he saw
during the whole war who had been
killed in action.
was standing in the broad road
leading to Spottsylvania Court House
when the word came along the line that
a general had been killed by one Of our
sharpshooters at single shot at dis
tance of 1000 yards. II is strange
that should meet his aide after so
many years and also the man who saw
the body reach Washington. In

lished, Maj. W. S. Dunlop, who COM
manded McGowan's sharpshooters,

lows:
eve reached the backbone of the
ridge, near the edge of a field that lay
out beyond. Here we could plainly
see Sedgwick's corps in line of battle
on the crest Of another hill, busily en-
gagged in rectifying their lines and con-
structing breastworks with their skir-
mishers we'll advanced. Upon these
we opened scattering fire with some
effect. We discovered an angle pro-
truding from their main line towards
the right of the battalion, which
brought four-gun battery with its
infantry supports placed there for the
defense Of the salient, barely within
reach of our long range rifles. And to
these Ben Powell, with his "Whit-
worth, and a few files ON the right
paid their respects. Presently an
officer Of rank with his staff approach
ed the salient, and adjusting his field
glasses, began to take observations Of
the front. A few shots had been f. ed
at the group. when the ringing peal of

Vigorous Campaigning.

New York, Nov. "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: With
forces aggregatins more than 10000 fight
ing men, Generals LaWton, Macarthur,
and Whea ton are now closing in on
Aguinaldo's army. General Otis set No.
vember 5 and 6 as the dates for COM
mencing the campaign call along the
line, and the war department. has infor-
nation tot1aN that the programme is be-
ing carried out. General Otis dispatches
are optimistic in the highest degree, and
the officials are predicting that the rebel
lion will be crushed before the end of
the present month. and that important
Victories will be announced within a few
days The military situation was thus
analyzed today by an official familiar
with General Otis plan of operation as
reported to the war department:
"ASuinaldo, with his army greatly re-
duced. owing to recent disintegrat tons,
is at Bayambang. 20 miles north of Tar
lac. which was his headquarters and the
objective of Lawton's and MacArthur's
armies up to a fortnight ago. General
Macarthur moves northward along the
railroad to Bayambang, taking the towns
of Tarlac, Panaque. Moncoda and others
as he goes along. General LaWton moves
nOrthward from Colanatuan as his base,
and with columns SWerVlng to the right
and left to sweep the country to the Rio
Agno river, and to head off Aguinaldo's 5
escape to the mountains through the Rio
Agno valley. At last accounts detach-
ments from his command had taken
Aliaga west of his base. Talavora being
to the north and Bayambang to the
northwest. General Wheaton mavad
southwark from Dagupan to Bayam-
bang. His movements un to this time
have been kept from the public. but now
that the campaign is in progress. l am at
liberty to mention that he will lead an
expedition sent out on transports for
the Gulf of Lingayen last week. The
navys task was to shell the towns on
the southern part of the gulf, so as to
effect the safe landing of his eXpedi-
ton.
.Tnless Aguinaldo has escaped to the
eastward through the Rio Agno valley,
he ought to be caught between General
Wheatons forces from the north and
General MacAltthur's forces from the
south within the next 4S hours. as Bay
ambang where he is supposed to be
located, is less than 90 miles from Dag
upan and about 40 miles from Angeles.
Although General MacArt1ur's main
forces were at Angeles a, last accounts
it is believed that one of his columns has
reached and taken Tarlac before this
time and that :he railroad to that poiat
is now in control of the American forces
and that it is only a question of few
days when his command viii reach Bay
ambang. From the plan OF campaign
mapped out, Aguinado's only possible
means of escape would seem TO be to the
eastward through the Rio Agno valley
into the mountains, as the forces under
Generals Lawton and Macarthur mov-
ing northward are keeping scouts we'll
out to the front so as to prevent the en-
emy escaping southwark"
1t seems to have been figured out by
