FASHION NOTES.
Fatntly Military.

Nothing closely like the huzzar trim ming that at various times has orna. mented the fronts of jackets and bodices will now pass muster, but there are styl. ish trimmings that have military sug- gestion of more or less distinctness An example of this is shown here In it. a S in most of these gowns, the trimming was white cloth, so the relation to the black or colored huzzar braid and cord was but the faintest. Biscuit colored cloth was the dress goods, pearl buttons hold ing the ends of the white folds. The round collar and shoulder finish were tucked white cloth, and white cloth fur nished the belt. By the time cool weather comes again there is likely to be increased favor for such suits, so they are a safe purchase now.
 Some of the young women who are spending the summer in the country, the mountains or a the seashore are sure to stick to nigh boots because they are so becoming, but are likely to end up in laced shoes reaching only little above the ankle. These are made in man

one year last past. A week before elec- ton day, an envelope, redireeted to the proper official, is sent to each freeman, containing a ticket with blank spaces for the names of the officials desired and stating at top that the freeman in question is entitled to so many votes one on basis of manhood suffrage, and the others on basis of amount of taxes paid to the city in the year last past, each resident stockholder, in resident corporation that pays taxes to the city, to be given additional votes proportional to his stock and the corporation's city taxes The votes to be counted by offi- cials sworn to secrecy. The newspaper and the orator would still have their function, but there would be change in officialdom. It is difficult to see where the machine, the slate and the caucus would come in.

PLANKS FOR POLITICAL, PLAT
 FORMS Continued from the Journal and Cour-

| FORMS. | Continued from the Journal and Co,1r- fer of June 16th, 1S99.)
 Art. V. Our rulers should be men of a high order of intelligence, of unoues- toned integrity, courageous, indepen- dent, industrious, with natural apti- tude for politics and the initiating of policies.
 Explanation. Christianity teaches that, He who governs his temper is greater than he who takes a city" The taking of cities is characteristic of mili- tarism, Of centralized monarchy, while the governing of temper falls into line With self-control government, the trait upon which democracy depends. Religion then would seem to pro- nounce for democracy as higher form of government than monarchy; and as men learn to conquer themselves last of all self-control is late and new devel- opment of character, whose political as- pect, government, has been ac- quired before mems eyes within the light of history, that, is during civil lib- erty times in England.
 It's late development in progressive evolution marks it as higher than it's foregeners.
 Democracy alone consists with two or more kings in the same country, is a form of government adapted only for nation of kings and becomes pure as it's constituency become royal.
 Injustice is as foreign to pure democ- racy as universal contract to absolu- tisn.
 The general trend of industrial de- mocracy is toward contract, justice, civil liberty, freedom. In the long run it must stand the strain of its critical ele- ment--peace It costs much to live a life of high character.
 Pure democracy is a high, complex, difficult to maintain, (psychologically) expensive and up-to-date form of gov ernment Its ship of state should ba manned by the best sailor men society can produce. Where can men described in the plank be found? Answer in eve- ry village and hamlet. Progress, en- lightenment and religion have produced the.2 in quantities liberal. The difficult ty is not to find them, but to get the powers that be to look for them. Under existing institutions these men are mostly political wall flowers.
 Men were before institutions and gave rise to them. At the inception of a na- ton political units and institutions are in harmony because one produced the other. But institutions once produced, creator and created thence pursue quasi independent courses.

LUCKY MR, WOODTIPD

That is an interesting and instructive case or mistaken identity which is re- ported from Washington, North Caro- lima. In that town the other morning MT. J. F'. Woodward, who resides in a distant town, but had been in Wash ington several days buying and shipping potatoes, was brutally horsewhipped and ordered to leave by a half-dozen young men, the charge being that he had on the public street addressed an insulting remark to an estimable young lady. The whipping was done at the railroad sta tion after the young lady said she iden- tifled MT. Woodward. This gentleman did leave Washington, but he returned a few days later, accompanied by coun- sel and several friends, and demanded to be brought face to face with his ac- cuser and assailants. This was done, and the result was the young lady con- fessed that she was unable to identify MT. Woodward as the man who had in- suited her, and the young men made a humble apology for the wrong done MT. Woodward, who has been strongly indorsed as one of the most high-toned men in his section of the State. It seems the young lady was in a nervous and excited condition when she 'identified' MT. Woodward.
 It is quite lucky for MT Woodward that he didn't happen to be negro.

The address of Lord Halifax at the recent annual meeting of the Engllsn Church Union makes it perfectly plain that the leaders of the Ritualist party in the church have no idea of receding from their position on the subject of ceremonial. He declared that whatever inc church had enjoined must be assum- ed to be still enjoined, unless she had herself ordered it otherwise On what principle. he asked, could the tradition and practice of the Church of England be limited to the last 300 years, and what was the tradition and practice to which appeal was made? The present attack had been at first directed only against ''extreme Ritualists" but now it was "the Oxford movement which must be swept away or eradicated." /" There were worse evils than disestab- 1ishment, he remarked, and it was just as well that those responsible for the present agitation should realize this fact 
 once for all The members of the Church Union were not disloyal to the prayer book, but their assailants were Christ was the head of the church, and His church must be governed in the way He had prescribed and not as it might please Parliament of all creeds or committee of lawyers to determine. The present agitation, he declared, had been got up and paid for by that Purit- anism which nearly destroyed the Church of England under Elizabeth. The meeting then, at the suggestion of Canon Knox Little, reaffirmed the reso- lutions agreed to by the Union of 1877, denying that the secular power had au- thorlty in matters purely spiritual.

sorber of the latter class of rotations
are not wanting in recent revelations
of the news columns.
Not long ago man departed this
life in an eastern asylum because he
was inordinately Incorporate in the
use of tea. An incautious colored man
in Atlanta took a sip or two of do
nestle concoction of alum and water.
Shortly afterward he took a fit and
gave up the ghost in great agony.
A more recent case is that of the
New York young man who died after
pop debauch. What small boy Is
stranger to the many-hued delights
of pop? 1t effervesces and tastes
like branchwater inadequately sweet
ened, but it has dubbed for long years
without being suspected Of homicidal
tendencies Until the fatal orgy of
the New York young man its record
for harmlessness was unbroken. This
victim of the insidious pop" it is
claimed, filled his internal vacuum
with seventy bottles OF ,the dangerous
fluid per day. And he kept on loading
up at this rate for three days in sue
cession! Of course when such a strain
as this was put upon his containing
capacity something had to pop; and
so the pop drove the life out of him
and he went hence. Such is the fate
of those who have not the strength of
mind to defy the tempter when he
comes clad in the seductlveness of soft
drinks.
Not all have the physical strength
to resist the inroads of the inordinate
fizzicking to which these apparently
innocuous beverages subject the hu-
man organism. If temptation comes
to the thirsty to drink immoderately of
tea, spiked lemonade or the colorful
pop it should be stubbornly and per-
sistently resisted, else the end will be
certain and the denouement sad.-St.

RAMS TRAINED TO FIGHT.

The natives of India are keen sports
men, in that they enjoy wagering on
the element of chance and in Bengal
a favorite sport is ram-fighting. A
likely male lamb Is chosen, when quite
young, and his training often extends
operation is to make him grow suitable
horns. To attain this end, when his
first horns appear the owner grasps
them in his teeth and tears them out
of their sockets. This operation has
to be repeated upon subsequent
growths two or three times. Then
the young champion develops really
massive pair, very broad at the base.
He is always chained presumably to
make him pugnacious. When his
horns are sufficiently tough he is
taught butting. His trainer dons a
wooden shield. and the ram Is taught
to butt 1t, at first with only short
run. But as he takes to his training
he backs further and further from the
object, until the legitimate distance Is
arrived at. BY this time he has begun
to put such force into his butts that 1t
takes two men to hold the shield, and a
good ram VIII upset them at every
charge When he is fit he Is taken to
a match. The trainers then straddle
their animals, grasping them by the
horns, and bring them into the arena
facing each other about 40 feet apart.
The word is given. the trainers slip the
animals. and the rams precipitate
themselves forward at lightning speed,
heads down. quarters up. They meet
with a laundering crash, the horns
and skulls changing as IL they were
metal The animals then back OF their
own accord, and close again. with the
same awful impetuosity, Again and
again they close, until one Of the two
refuses to face the music. Then the
victor chases him from the arena

LETTER FROM SAD SCENE
Stricken People Deeply Grateful to
Americans for Their Generous and
Ready Assistance-Chief Loss OF
Life in One Place Due to Overflow
Victims Carried Out to Sea.
Madison, Sept. IS.

Madison, Sept. Is.
p. e. F. Soucy, the young French
gentleman who for a year or so gave
private French lessons in Madison then
enlisted and engaged in the Spanish
war only to come back to this city
when the trouble was finally over,
has received the following interesting
letter from a lady friend in Porto
Rico:
"Aricibo, Sept. dear Friend-I
am much Obliged for the promptness
with which you wrote to us, asking
about the terrible tempest which has
devastated our island. All that can
be said would give a feeble picture in
comparison with the reality. Here
in Arecibo and suburbs, loss of life
was caused by the great overflow of
the Arecibo river, sweeping every
thing. Entire houses with families
asleep inside were uprooted and swept
down the river like rowboats, bump
ing against each other and finally were
swept out to sea by the tremendous
current. A poor woman, drifting on
plank, was saved miraculously She
had dropped her child in the water,
picked it up again and was kissing it
lovingly when at daylight she found
out it was not hers. The loss to
agriculture is immense, incalculable.
Our poor farmers who had suffered so
much from the war are today COM
pletely ruined. Families rich yester-
day have nothing to eat today Many
villagers have lost all their houses.
The church, theater, city hall, and
hospital are full Of people with hardly
any clothes on. There are many
orphans, SO young that they
do not know their parents names and
are not claimed by anybody. What
will the government do with all these
orphans? The starvation would have
been tremendous had it not been for
the generosity of that beautiful Ameri-
can government which so promptly
sent transports loaded with provi-
sions
'All the Porto Ricans are full of
gratitude and will love more than ever
LHSEN SUI louo olul . anu SlllpC9. HGlS
is no more fear of starvation now but
all these poor people need clothing
and homes. They cannot be kept long
in public buildings. We are sure
that the charity of the states will
change these tears into smiles of hap
piness and gratitude. With the help
of America, Porto Rico will rise again
and be soon worthy to belong to
America. But for long time there
will be little joy in Porto Rico. AL
most everybody one meets has lost
relative, fathers without children
husbands without wives, children with
out parents. We are all very CRATE
full that the Americans are so good to
US. We want them to know it. The
American soldiers have been very
brave and noble during the disaster
and also all the Americans. Many lives
have been saved by them. Railroads
do not work and roads are impractic-
able but it is hoped that everything
will be all right after a while. Truly
yours, Maria Ball"
