The illustration gives a new and partic-
ularly practical idea of a silk petticoat
The top Of skirt is cut circular, close fit
ting across the front and hips, fastening
in the back with invisible placket, fitted
around the waist with tiny darts. The
circular fiounce is trimmed with two mar
row lace fiounces applied in pointed out
line headed by lace insertion. A narrow
accordion plating of taffeta is sewn on
the lower edge. finished by cording. If
more fullness is desired around the bot
tom, plaitings of taffeta may be used in
place OF the lace.
Fashioned in white taffeta, with dainty
cream lace for trimming, this petticoat
would make a charming addition to any
bridal outfit. The same design made III

lace trimmings is very effective.
To make this petticoat in the medium

CROKER's PARTING WORDS.
w. j. Bryan, Anti-Trusts, and Anti.Impe-
rialism TO Have Tammany's support.

New York, Nov. Z7.-Richard Croker
who is 10 sail for Europe tomorrow. was
interviewed to-day at the Democratic
Club. He said:
Il want 10 say before my departure for
Europe that William ]. Bryan will be the
standard-bearer OF the Democratic party
in the next national campaign. The fight
will be made against trusts and imperial
ism, and Mr.. Bryan is the only man 10
lead such a fight.
''Tammany Hall will give him its hearth
est support, you may rest assured OF that.
No running mate for Mr.. Bryan has been
selected yet. Several names have been
under consideration, but no decision has
bean arrived at"
There isn't any truth at all, said Mr..
Croker, lin the statement that Senator
German and ! had been talking together
about another candidate. Senator German
and / had some talk, having no connection
with politics. but he is interested in auto
trucks and we've talked more about that
than anything else. / haven't changed
back two months ago. | believe Tonight
stronger than ever before that he is just
the man We want for next year"
Before completing his arrangements for
sailing Mr. Croker arranged for a SuiJa-
bic burial for Bill Anthony, of the Maine.
Father Chidwick, of the Maine. had been
at the club during the day 10 see him. The
authorities at Washington had been COM
municated with, and had given consent to
bury the sailor in the national plot in
Greenwood Cemetery.
Mr.. Croker said that Tammany Hall
would meet any bill in connection with
the funeral

ACCUSE HIM OF COWARDlCE.
South Carolina Paper Makes Sensational
Charges Against Sfnfr 0ficinl.

Columbia, 6. c., Nov. g7.-J. Dadley Has
eden, member of the State board of dis
penssry control has been accused of cow
ardice, of running from fire, and of wear
ing a steel breastplate. The charges are
preferred in the State newspaper by Ben
3. Sellers and John c. Sellers, with whom
Haselden and his party had an encounter
at Sellers Depot Haselden took refuge
on the premises of a negro cabin. His
brother, Luther NJ. Haselden, admits run
ming under the depot. Yesterday morning
the Sellers produced statements from j. F.
Spears. EnOs Powell, and Carl Matthews
that Haselden had had two breastpl2tes
made of work steel at the Marion Iron
Works where they are employed. The
proprietor, Mr.. McDuffie, declines to deny
the statement. thus giving force to the
charges against Haselden. Each OF the
breastplates weighed twelve pounds, and
the charge is made that Haselden was
seen 10 remove one after the encounter
His friends here are thunderstruck.
Haselden's high position as a State Of
fetal makes this the greatest sensation in
the State for several years. Haselden is
a cousin of the late Gov. Ellerbe and of
]. Z. Ellerbe, who bitterly opposed Con-
gresham Norton for his seat. Sellers is
a brother-in-laW of Norton, and this old
feud has much 10 do with the shooting
caused by the recent State Dispensary
scandals

COFFEE SHORTS SQUEEZED.
Sudden Upward Turn of 20 to 30 Points on
the New York Exchange.

New York, Nov. 27.-For several weeks
past bull speculation has been in progress
on the Coffee Exchange until even the
more optimistic operators late last week
feared the market 10 be in a heavy
condition. Some had closed out their in
terest before the holiday OF Saturday.
Therefore a rise Of . to 45 points on the
call this morning came as a complete sur
prise TO this branch of the trade, as well
as to the bear faction. Great excitement
prevailed, with trading by far the heaviest
in several years. Luckless shorts were
panic-stTicken. and maHe no pretense
whatever OF opposing the advance move
ments OF their opporents.
BY p. m. the bulletin board recorded
sales OF 10000 bags; total dealings footed
up 1lI,2o bags Final bids showed a net
gain for the day of 70 10 20 points. Wall
street. Europe. the West. and the local
trade were all consistent buyers through
out the session. The rise was based en-
tlrely upon strong cables from European
