ErnIine.
From the Cornhill Magazine.

White fox and ermine are not popular
furs in this country, though abroad they
are in great demand for large wraps or
pelisses Of fur One would think that for
a theater cloak in winter time such pc
lisse would be charming. As it is Rus
sian and Polish ladies have, with the Chi
nese, almost a. monopoly of these hand
some garments. "All-fur" pelisses of fox
or marten are the very things for sleigh
ing in, and these, with an ermine cap,
make a pretty warm, and most attrac=
tive costume for everyday driving in the
snow.
Ermine never seems to attract in Eng
land 1t is reserved for little children and
very old ladies'. 1t is quite plentiful, as
the little ermines are only stoats turned
white in the winter, but as they are 81
berian and Canadian stoats, they have
closer under fur than the English breed.
some wears ago some wealthy fur dealers
made an arrangement with some leading
costumers for a great coup in ermine, and
the costuners agreed to design dresses TO
suit n and to start the fashion. But, for
once in a way, this combine" was a com
nIete failure People do not long Tor
change in fur as they do in colors or wo-
Ven fabrics or even in the designs of Gus

TO COLOMBO THE NEGRO.
National American Colonization As

Chattanooga. Tenn. Jan. 14.-An appli-
cation was made to-day by S. L. Hutch

branches in the Southern states.
The association is formed with a view
to colonizing negroes in the West and
securing from Congress a concession to
allow the colonies formed the right of
state government and representatives. in
Congress, etc.
The plan was originated by S. L. Hutch
ms. a negro lawyer of this city, who has
given the question "of what to do with
the negro" a great deal of study. Hutch
ings was a circuit judge in North Caro-
lima during the reconstruction period, and
it is said he came nearer giving satisfac-
ton to the whites in his circuit than any
negro who ever held like office Hutch
ms gives as the reason for
his proposed colony" that the people Of
the United States should be given an
opportunity to see whether the negro Is
capable of governing and holding offices.
The application for the charter says;
''It is not fair to Judge of the Negroes

failures ne has made in office in the South.
Given an opportunity when he Is alto

will solve the question quickly as to
whether he is worthy of citizenship and
to be an integral part of the governing
people"

TWO CENTS
sENsIBLEiADyICE
And SEINE Hard Facts From Preston
County.


To the Editor of The New DoMrSIos:
We of Preston county are watching
with additional interest the contest
in Morgan district With an affirm
alive result at your end, the people OF
Valley district can be counted on 10
do their part. But with Morgan dis
trict voting adversely, and three
fourths Of the required amount of
bonds voted down, the friends of the
railroad in Valley will have an uphill
task before them TO carry the election
there, The half hearted ones who
now think OF voting for the bonds will
at least be very likely To vote the
other way.
1t Is true that II the Valley election
carries and the result in Morgan fails
by only narrow margin, the fight
may be renewed. II the bonds should
almost carry the people in Valley would
in that very fact have some encour-
agement to do their best. But why
protract the fight so longg Why have
so many elections, and keep up SO long
campaign? Why not settle the mat
ter atfirmatively once for all2
But we are told 1t will be taxing
your people too heavily. Now Valley
proposes TO vote one-third the amount
Of bonds you do, although her tax
able valuation is only one-siath as much
as yours. This objection does not
strike Us here as being a fair one.
Then again is 1t not true that the
4GR AAA ff h.a In f,tf5Idfnss
share of the road will largely be spent
among you? IT, you vote for the bonds
you will cause to be brought into your
district an additional sum nearly or
quite equal TO the bonds Ii you
don't vote for the bonds, you don't
get the benefit of this sum. There 1t
is in nutshell.
Once again, Morgantown Is easily
capable of growing into quite city.
Yet it can throw away opportunities
the same as any other town. It will
be doing this II your people choose To
reject the opportunity Of annexing a
considerable part of this county TO its
sphere of trade.
"Morgantown people must consult
their interests first, we are told. That
Is true, but are not the true interests
OF Morgantown closely associated with
those OF that part of Preston which
is tributary to the new road? In
striking down the bonds you will be
striking us, and those ten cent poll
ticians who seek TO inject personal
aims into this contest, thereby injur-
ing US in order to further their selfish
ambition, will hear something drop
If they don't keep an eye TO windward.
Think over these things you neigh
bors Of Morgan district and vote for
the bonds on Saturday. Give them a
decisive majority.

HOT HERE.
Another Warm Wave C0ming-Funny
Things Reported from Minnesota
by Guy Brown.

The promised thunder storms that
the weather man was talking about
have not reached us on time but the
air is very. much cooler than it was
for several days this week. The
warmest June weather for years has
been experienced and the number of
deaths from heat has been very large.
In one day in Greater New York
there were twenty-five deaths from
this cause alone. This is very much
greater than usual even for the days
of midsummer and we are seemingly
in for it.
The weather people think that it
will not last very long but they state
that there is another warm wave
coming on the heels OF the present
one and that the intermission may
be slight if there is any at all before
the next one gets here.
In this connection it may be inter
esting to state that letter from
Guy Brown states that there is ice
and snow everywhere near him IN
Minnesota and that not leaf is to
be seen. Spring has not broken vet
and the country is cold and uncom-
portable. The mercury frequently
goes below zero. This goes to show
that this is very great country
and that we have wonderful chances
to get all kinds of climate that we
want.
