Gently introduced in Paris. where massiya
bracelets were worn exclusively on tho
ankles with the short bicycle skirts that
were there fashionable. When they were
imported to this country II was naturally
thought they were to be worn on the
wrists, but the public eye is at last being
opened, however. by two New York women
who have just returned from Paris and
who wear them about the ankle or iust
at the top OF the boot when donued iu their
sporting clothes.
II Is said on good authority that several
olher women have already been measured
for them. The most beautiful ONES ire mn

an odd little note book. The revival az

A budget of the latest and probably the
last news that will come out of the Klon-
dixie this season Is contained in a report
TO the State Department from Consul Nc
Cook at Dawson, dated September IA The
consul says that the gold shipments for
the season aggregated s9,247,745 A larger

The rush to Cape Nome continues from

Circle City only seventy-five people remain
out of 800. Eagle City has lost 500 of its

only 200 of its former population of 1,6O0.
Many Americans in Dawson are only
awaiting spring to leave for Nome The
Cape has now a population numbering
thousands, and supports many stores

that there Is doubt as to the richness
of the country, especially of the so-called
ruby sand,' which has been traced along
the shore to Port Clarence, 40 miles west
of Cape Nome. The creeks back Of the
Cape are also improving. 1t is calculated
that upward of 10000 persons will be in
the country the coming year. The consul
explains that the ruby sand" Is composed
of very fine gravel and minute specimens Of
the common garnet or false ruby. 1t is
unlike ordinary beach sand. Forty per cent

Eject of Result on Democrats.

There will In all probability be a serious
aftermath to this election The party lead
ers, who occasionally visit the state head
quarters say that factionaI fight be-
tween Hill and Croker will break out with
greater vigor than ever soon after the cleo
ton. The present situation, according to
those who are talking about It, grows OUT
Of the collapse of the state campaign ana
the failure of Tammany to provide funds
for work. after Croker had captured the
state committee. Much bitter feeling mas
developed because of the TACT tnat no Ell
fort has been made to help the democratic
cnndi dates in the counties and cities up
the state. The democrats at the norman
House say that some Of the members of the
state committee who voted with Croker
against Hill for the resolution OF SYM
pathy with Bryan have been very .sorely
disappointed by the treatment they have re-
ceived at the Democratic Club.
Preparations for the contests OF 1900 VIII
begin as soon as the election is over. Del
esates to the national convention are to be
elected. as well as delegates to two state
conventions, and new state committee
will be selected next year by the delegates
To the nominating state conventions. Some
of the Hill men say that the former sem
ator is planning to capture enough deie-
gates from one or more senate districts IN
this city to elect state committeeman
named by him. These democrats recall that
so long as two democratic organizations
existed in New York county Hill had no
trouble in keeping control OF the state
committee and forcing Tammany to ac-
cept his terms in the state conventions.
They say that a democratic organization
opposed to Tammany may be established in
this city before or shortly after the next
primary, and that Hill will control ma
jority Of the delegates to the national con-
vention next year.
Fight on Senator Murphy.
The democrats from up the state are
talking about the fight against former Sen
ator Murphy in Troy. There is a move
ment on foot to turn him out of control of
the local machine. Troy is the only demo-
cratic city in the state that has an in
creased registration this year. The reason
is said to be the result Of plan to turn
down Mr.. Murphy in his own home. If he
Ia defeated in the present fight his retire
politics is predicted. With Murphy out Of

MR.. SMITHS FOUR N
CONDUCTOR ON ALABAMA-sTREET
CAR DECLINED TO ACCEPT THEM.
Scene on Washington strcct-A Police
0mcer Finally Ordered Him
on the Car.

Charles F. Smith. who was the leader Of
the fight against granting a franchise to the
Indianapolis Street-railway Company. had a
scene with street car employees yesterday
afternoon about $50 o'clock. when his ten
der OF four pennies for a ride was refused
by the conductor. Mr.. Smith boarded North
Alabama-street car No. $40. and after it had
turned into Washington street from Illinois
the conductor came around for the fares.
Mr.. Smith handed out his pennies, and when
the conductor told him that IL was neces-
sary to buy tickets in order to get the bene-
fit Of the reduced fare Mr.. Smith insisted
that the legal fare was only 4 cents. The
conductor stopped the car and told Mr..
Smith he would have to leave unless he
gave the conductor a nickel or a ticket. The
colloquy occupying a few minutes, the road
officers stationed at the corner came up TO
ascertain the cause of the cars delay. The
case was presented to them. They ordered
Mr.. Smith off, but he declined to go. Then
the road officers summoned a company de-
~tective, and after parleying awhile he went
out and found a police officer. The police
man explained things and concluded by
firmly ordering the obdurate passenger
from the car, whereupon Mr.. Smith quietly
left. There was no fiery exchange Of words
along the line at any time.
A crowd of several hundred people had
gathered about the car. when it was seen
that the car had stopped and some unusual
scene was going on inside. Mr.. Smith re-
marked that he had nothing to say when
questioned as to the motive he had in re-
fusing TO pay the legal fare. 1t Is pre-
sumed that he intends to make use of the
incident for some new move in fighting the
present management OF the street-railway
interests.

representation of the board. At next Thurs
day nights meeting the matter OF building
additions to school buildings during the
summer Is TO be acted on.

10000 OF refunding bonds. These notes are
drawing 8 per cent. interest, and II was not
anticipated that there would be any difficult
~ in p-ersuading the holders to agree with
the boards request.
