The Best One Yet.

Senate bill No. n, introduced by
Senator Kirby, under the head of
an act, creating a commission of
correction, declaring its jurisdiction
and power, and providing for pro-
cedure therein, has been read a
second time, and 1t stands a good
chance of passage.
The bill is aimed at the railroads
and is virtually a railroad commis-
sion bill, under new name.
The bill gives the board of cor
rection the same functional power
of court in serving papers on
railroads, express companies and
other public carries, and they can
summon witnesses to give testimony
in fact its jurisdiction will possess
sfull common law and equity powers.
The bill has many admirable
features to it which other railroad
bulls do not carry, and we think it
is the best one yet drafted by any
legislature. To show its popularity
the senate had it put on its second
reading and two hundred copies
ordered printed. Should this bill
pass, it will make name for our
Senator that will be as lasting as
fhat of the eternal hills.

A R|OTOUS NEGRO SOLDIER.
He Acted in a Disgraceful
Manner, and Refused
to be Arrested.
"ALL COONS LOOK ALIKE. /"
Constable Rochell Ran Roughly
Over by the Rough
Riders.

Yester day the Iron Mountain
train brou. h TO his city two sec
tions bearing parts of the Tenth
United States colored cavalry and
switched the coaches over on the
7, & P. track,
The soldiers were left here all the
evening, the cause we do not know,
and as a matter of course, they
scattered over the city, and sone
of them tanked up on whiskey, and
we're insolent. They visited a
bawdy house on Front street and
rang the door bell for admittance.
When the door attendant opened
the door and saw that the visitors
were coiored soldiers, she attempt
ed to close the door I'M their faces,
but one of them prevented and
forced the door. The women beat
a retreat and leaving the house by
back door, came up to the city
and sum moned Constable Rochell
to protect her house.
The constable went down after
the gang but they had left, but the
soldier was pointed out to him, and
he undertook to arrest him, but
that was all, as the Negro soldiers,
who we're near, went to Ais rcae
and took him of underB drawn @piss
tolls, and hid him. away 10 The
coaches. =.
Mr.. Rochell sought the advice of
County Attorney Vaufhn, and they
visited the colonel, who gave him
permission to hunt, the offender up,
and after a thorough search had to
give it up, as "all coons looked
alike" to them.
The colonel promised to find out
# possible, the offenders and make
them do penance for their bad be-
havlor here.
We learn they did pretty much
as they pleased while at Malvern.
The military authorities should
know better than to let these black
soldiers march through the country
with arms and a suppy~of cartridg-
es, for this puts the devil in them
and it is a wonder that more peo-
pie don't get killed than is reported
by clashes between them and civil
authorities.
We are glad that no killing was
had over the incident, but things
looked squally two or three times
about the depot over the matter.
The West Side officers are not to
blame because they did not hold
the coon after arresting him, for
they were not only overpowered,
but nou-plussed at the action of the
soldiers.
We hope yet the guilty party
vii be found and returned here for
punishment.

To clean and treat any boot or shoe
properly it should be put on a tree"
made to fit it. This will entirely pre-
vent those ugly lines and wrinkles
which disfigure so many shoes just be-

ready wrinkled may be put on trees"
dampened with a sponge and the
wrinkles smoothed out with an ivory

Another good plan, when the shoe is

thoroughly scrub it with an old nail
brush, and afterward rub it soft with
glycerine before applying the new
dressing.
Russet shoes may be cleaned in this
way very successfully with soap and
water, and afterward polished up with
beeswax and turpentine to their pris-
tine glory. In short, with shoes, as
with everything else, it is the intel
ligent care given them that marks the
difference between well -groomed man
or woman and one who is lax in those
matters, and is therefore less at
tractiNe.

IT WAS PRINCESS VICTORIA.

At recent exhibition of book covers
in London prizes We're awarded to two
samples which We're signed by a Miss
Mathews. Weeks afterward it was
was learned that Miss Mathews and
Princess Victoria, the only unmarried
daughter of the prince and princess OF
Wales, were the same person. The.
judges and her royal highness' family
were as ignorant of this fact as were
the public. The princess has shown
great earnestness in seeking to fill some
mission of usefulness which is not out
OF keeping with her station. 1t is said
that she has evinced an ardent desire
to be genuine wageearner. Only two
years ago the pressure of family coun-
sci made her relinquish her purpose of
entering a London hospital as q pro-
fessional nurse, a position for which
she had fitted herself. Now the young
lady's energy is turning into decora-
tive channels and she is making a

signing of book covers. in which she
is said to be doing some very excellent
work.

FOR THE BALL ROOM.

A gold chain of new and most in
genious design was seen the other
night at the opera. All girls know
what nuisance it is not to be able
to get the neck of an evening gown to
hit closely around the shoulders, and
how often it happens that the drawing
string will break and make one feel
most uncomfortable. The gold chain
IN question was of very fine gold,
chased, and it was fastened at the
shoulder seam by small turquoise put
through small hole put in the chemi-
settle, which began there and met in the
centre of the bodice. At the top of this
chemisette, made of the finest kind of
muslin, sheer and delicate, was a mar
row beading, and in and out of this
beading the gold chain was passed. 1t
was fastened in front with a lovely
1eweled clasp of turquoise and dia-
monds, which pushed up as on an eye
glass chain, and the chain then hung
down to the the waistline; at the end
of 1t was drop of turquoise and dia-
monds to match the clasp. The wear

FASHIONS FOR THE WIDOW.
(From the Detroit Free Press.l

(From the Detroit Free Press.)
The widow is ever interesting, es-
pecially if she is a young widow,
Among the late fashions" says an au-
thority, ARE few mourning toilets
that have some novel points despite
their sombre color. The long capes ly-
ing over the demi-train behind and
rounded in front are particularly be-
coming to widows. Very long wells of
English crepe are again in fashion, and
crepe is largely used for trimming. A
cape, curved to fit the contour of the
hgure, is in "merveilleux" cloth. The
shoulders are made close by means of
darts and a single fastening closes the
cape at the throat. Around the edges
ripples a circular is made princess"
and fastens all the way down the back
with double range of fiat buttons and
silk cord loops"
This is all very pretty, but now comes
the word that weeds are to be discarded.
The conventional costume of the we'll
bred widow possesses every known quail
1ty of unhygenic, non-esthetic and cost
ly dress. Proper exercise while she is
mourning is out of the question. Sc
clusion is secured in ways less barbar-
Gus perhaps than inducing deformity of
the feet, yet our incidental mourning
costumes effectually keep women with
in doors. The heart of the stoutest war
rior might quail within him if a quiet
stroll required the wearing of two crepe
wells, each six feet long, one veil to be
worn over the face and the other to
hang down the back.

ject of design should be very carefully
studied, according to a contributor to
the Art Amateur. The patterns of
Eastern rugs are to be commended
most of all by reason of their skillfully
conventionaiized figures in fiat, I'M
shaded colors. The trouble with most
carpets of Eastern and American man
ufacture is that the designs thereon
are more suitable for ceiling decora-
ton than for the floor surface.
Interminable and unseeming scrolls,
or a redundancy of floral forms,
are absurd when
we remember that if these forms were
what they are represented to be, no
one could walk on the floor with com
fort. OF course, flowers and leaves NAV
be used as ornaments, but they should
be treated fatty without effect of light
and shade.
In houses with hardwood floors, rugs
are considered better as a floor-cover-
ing than a carpet that entirely covers
the floor. Oriental, European, or
American carpets, woven in one piece
just sufficiently large to reach
within Is inches of the walls, are very
suitable. Rugs are often made bv

rounding the whole with an appropriate
border; this costs less than the rugs
