FRILLS OF FASHION.
Notes Of Interest for Ladies' Who Are
Followers of the Mod
ern Dress.

A new canvas of silk and linen comes
in lively colors, electric blue being es-
pecially desirable when trimmed with
appliques of guipure lace. White mus
lin and lace insertion run through with
narrow black velvet ribbon form the
very effective vest, with tiny gold but
tons down the front.
Manila hats are the swell thing for
morning wear in midsummer. Whey
come in white and colors, and are
trimmed with dotted white gauze and
quilts.
White batiste, patterned with de-
sign in cashmere colors and trimmed
with Brussels lace insertion and edg-
ing. makes one of the smartest gowns
of the season. 1t is made over white
taffeta, and the skirt is ruffled at the
feet with white batiste edged with lace.
Narrow bias folds of Persian foulard
trim some of the batiste gowns. 5.
All the shades of the primrose are a
pretty note in the fashionable scale of
colors. Primroses trim our hats and
primrose chiffon sashes add quaint
effect to our simple muslin gowns.
A pretty novelty is the feather boa,
made of plumes delicately tinted with
all the colors of an opal.
Blue in every shade is the leading coll
or in millinery, and the special novel;
ties are the combinations of violet and
| forget-me-not blue and brown with
blue.
-Tailor-made gowns of taffeta silk are
the latest novelty.
| Lowering the waist line to bring il
down to point in front is one of the
new features of the latest modes.
Buckles and clasps in dull gold and
platinum mixed are very much worn.
Steel buckles, too, in a very open pat
tern decorate the belts of the lace
gowns. In the long diamond shape the
belt has one at the back as well as the
| front.
! Automobile red, trimmed with cream
lace. is fashionable combination fol
the Partisan gown.
Hydrangea blossoms trim the sum
mer hats, and when the pale blue tint
lis combined with the pink lilac shade:
the effect is charming.
Racing coats, dust cloaks or long
garment of some sort are the modisf
thing in Paris for coaching and travel
ing about. They are sort of redingote
sometimes trailing for quarter of {

All unseen and unsuspccted, his two
enemies dogged him, until some two
hours later he came to a duck-jeel, and
sent his orderly round to point mile
away to drive the duck toward him,
where he crouched in mud and water
behind heap of weeds. AS soon as he
was alone the two men dashed for him.
Grierson turned at the noise they made
in splashing through the water. He
recognized the dress of their tribe.
"What do you want?" he shouted.
''Vengeance!" they cried, and rushed
at him with their knives drawn.
For answer he fired both barrels at
them. He knew what they meant, and
in his furry one man took both charges,
and dropped dying. Grierson dubbed
his gun. The second man took a smash
ing blow on his left arm, but got home
with his knife, and Grierson went down.
The man dispatched him and fled, leav-
ing gun and cartridges and his dead
comrade.
When the bodies were found there
was fierce hue and cry. The story of
Grierson's conduct on the frontier came
up, and the tribe was oyerhauled by
the politicals. But, of course, nothing
came of it. Poor Mrs. Grierson went
home with her little boys, ignorant of
the cause of her husbands murder, for
who could tell her?
She had not been out of India month
when her husbands only brother was
stabbed in the Delhi streets by a IA
natic.
''And if any of his sons come out here,
even 20 years from now, they will die, u
said Bakshan Khan.
"Why," said the boy, young Grierson
| who was at Sandhurst with me, came
out and went to Peshawur. He was
out shooting up Abbotabad way, and
was found dead at the foot of cliff. II
was thought he had accidentally shot
himself, and so fallen down.
''It may be-" said Bakshan Khan
''Rut only the Zillah Khel know fol
certain"
"By Jove!" said the boy. "Now
know why his brother, who came out
in the police at the same time, wen1
home again. He told me that he hat
been warned that his life wasn't safe
And his passage home was paid by
government"
''That was wise," said Bakshan Khan

Chlorine Gas.

For several weeks past the daily
newspapers have contained long ar
ticles describing the curative prop
critics of chlorine gas in cases of diph-
liberia. An analysis of this remedy
shows that it is composed of hydroch-
loric acid, chloride of potash and dis
titled water in given quantities.
Nearly every newspaper in its account
of the cures effected by this remedy
i'll cases of diphtheria state that it is
an entirely new discovery in medical
science and lauds it to the skies.
a number of gentlemen in CONVEX
sation at Col. Sturgiss' drug store in
Oakland the other night mention was
made of this remedy and its curative
properties. Col. Sturgiss produced a
book in which he keeps formulas for
the compromising of medicines and a
reference to its pages disclosed the
fact that more than twenty years ago
DR.. E. H. Bartlett. at that time an ac-
tive practitioner in medicine, invaria-
bly, prescribed this remedy in cases Of
diphtheria and in consequence the
formula in the book referred to above
was marked "Bartlett's Gargle. -
This remedy, so it is stated, very sell
dom failed to cure the most malig-
nant cases of diphtheria and what is
more astonishing is the fact that the
present remedy known as chlorine
gas is compounded precisely the same
as "Bartlett's Gargle" was twenty or
more years ago.

DR.. X. a. Ravenscroft, while out on
a fox chase with his hounds, started
a red fox. While the hounds were
chasing the fox at very rapid rate
the doctor thought he would take a
near cut across the hill to head off
the hounds. He was successessful in
his undertaking. However, when the
hounds.came in sight they mistook
the doctor for the fox. He thought
very quickly and began climbing a
tree nearby. He had taken lunch
with him but had to give it to the
hounds before he was allowed to de-
scend.

one gallon of whiskey. Judge Stake

of Hagerstown are now wondering
what remedy there is that possibly
could prove effective in Judge Stakes
case, for when Heimmel fails to cure
anything up that way, from chronic
rheumatism to a sudden attack of lap

something serious must be the matter

Miss Elizabeth Weber left Oakland
yesterday afternoon for a visit to

last night to Rev. r. b. Ward and
family at st. Paul's NJ. E. church.
Quite large crowd was present and
spent delightful evening.
Doubtless advertising, like beef
steak, is overdone now and then;
but is more frequently underdone.
1t is not kept on the fire long enough
nor turned often enough, and the fire
is not hot enough. One may throw
away money by placing his money by
advertisement in papers without cir
culation, says the Fourth Estate. Or
he may lack the peculiar gift of plac-
ing the matter before the public. Or
he may not offer sufficient variety in
his advertising. But if he secure
proper channel for the floating of his
craft there will be no danger of foul
ing. He may load it as deep as he
please and everything will move
along cheerily and well.
No healthy person need fear any
dangerous consequences from an at
tack of la grippe if properly treated.
1t is much the same as severe cold
and requires precisely the same treat
ment. Remain quietly at home and
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as directed for a severe cold and a
prompt recovery is sure to follow. For

A ten-story building could fall on
some men and they would still come
out alive. j. T. Smith, a freight brake
man on the third division of the b. &
o. railroad, who lives in South Cum
berland, fell sixty feet last night near
Bloomington and escaped with few
slight bruises.
Smiths train had parted on a bridge
that spanned deep ravine. He went
out on the structure to couple the
cars and after doing so, thinking that
he was on solid ground, stepped back
ward and off the bridge
He crashed down through trees and
bushes, which broke the force of the
fall, and landed on the side of the IA
vine, thirty feet below. He then
rolled thirty feet more to the bottom.
He was picked up by the crew of the
train and brought to his home here.
His injuries are not serious-Cumb.

why Towns Die.

More towns die for the want of CON
tidence on the part of the business
men, and lack of public spirit, than
from the rivaly of neighboring towns
or adverse surroundings. When a
man in search of home or business
location goes to q town and finds
everything brimful of hope and en-
thusiasm over the prospects of the
place, and everybody at work to build
up the town, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit and as Il result
he drives down his stake and goes to
work with the same interest, says an
exchange. When, however, he goes
to town and every one expresses
doubt and apprehension of the future
prosperity of the place, moping about
and INDUCING in complaints about
imaginary evils which are likely to
befall the town, he naturally feels it
is no place for him, and at once shakes
the dust from his feet while he pulls
with all possible speed for some other
town. Consequently, try and make
a live, enterprising, progressive town
out of the one in which you live.
When you are working for or saying
a good thing for your own town you
are accomplishing all the more for
yourself.

tanned a telegram dated at Oakland
which conveyed the impression that
the people residing in Allegany coun-

was run last fall under Legislative en-

not they would like to become resi-

pleasant as inconveient to transact
their legal business in Garrett county,
and moreover they feel that some in
justice has been done them
Tuesday gentleman who assisted
in making the new survey between
the two counties was in Oakland and
his attention was called to the dis
patch in the SUR. He stated that for
the past month or more he has been
engaged along the newely laid out
line making examination, etc, for the
report of the survey, and in that time
he has come into contract with but
one man who was in any was displeas-
ed with the fact that he is now resi-
dent of Garrett county. The gentle
also stated that this disgruntled in
dividual is not a land owner nor tax
payer but rentor of land of one of
the large coal companies operating in
that section.
We feel safe in saying the matter
will not be carried into court and that
no protest will be made against the
final establishment of the line as run
by the recent corps of surveyors.

pastor of the Blaine Circuit, and
Presiding Elder Roberts, Rev. William

thizing friends and relatives of the
deceased young people. The pupils
of the public schools occupied seats
in the auditorium of the church and
attended the services at the grave in
a body. Rev. Ward in his sermon
delivered over the remains of the de-
ceased was full of pathos and con-
tanned words of comfort to the sor-

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that
the attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of a cold or la grippe to
result in that dangerous disease. 1t
is the best remedy in the world for
bad colds and la grippe. Every bot
tie warranted. For sale by Oakland
