A Gang OF Y6nne Touehs Emniate

Bun Dmlf0ms
From Deputy Cummings, who is
i'm town today, the reporter learned
Of the existence Of q gang OF
highwaymen in the neighborhood
Of Graham who have been making
life burden to law-abiding people
who travel about in that section.
They have held MP several par
ties in the broad light of day, the
latest occurrence being last Mon.
day night when an elderly and
highly respected citizen was not
only held mp, but maltreated in a
most cruel and inexcusable man.
ner. After robbing him they
punched him in the sides and in
the head with their guns. cut his
shoes of. tore the lining from his
coat and mistreated him in every
way short of actually manning
him.
The miscreants are young men
and always wear masks when per-
petrating their outrages. They
have thus kept their identity pretty
we'll concealed, but it is thought
they will be found out soon. Such
young rascals should be appre.
hended@s speedily as possible and
placed where they cannot dc
further injury to society until they
have had time to repent Of theil
crimes.

Some years ago a man ran up q bill
OF 500 In the fremont House, Chica-
go. and then ran away without settling
IT. The trunk which remained In his
room was unusually heavy and when
opened after his departure was found
to contain specimens Of ore, brought
from the gold and silver mines of Col
orado. where presumably he had lost
all his money. After waiting out the
legal time Mr.. Gage sent the contents
OF the trunk to an assayer, who return
ed two bits Of metal valued at more
than 500 in excess OF the bill after
deducting his own fees

Hoyt's Comedy company was
seen last night in Chas. Hoyt's ia
nous political satire. "A Texas
Steer" 1t proved to be most en-
tertaining, especially at this op.
perfume time, while the mutterous
thunders of the great campaign
now going on ring IL our ears. 1t
tells the story of an honest Texas
ranchman who is elected to con-
gress against his will, and is forced
to serve as such at the point of
a pistol. The scenes in the first
act are laid in Texas, the other
three in Washington. How he
gets along after he arrives in Wash
ington, the situations that ensue
are funny in the extreme. The
dialogue teens with satire.
Some of the lines in their sug-
gestiveness run like this:
Brassy Gall, a lobbyist, desires
the congressman to sign a bill ap-
propriating $4,000 to build a
court house in boom" town in
Texas, and says while pushing his
scheme, Mr.. Brander, all Red
Dog needs to make it a metropoli
tan city is good society and little
more rain"
Brander-(Looking at Brassy
askance.) "Good society and 6
little more rain, that's all h
needsf"
And again, Brander. while eulo
gizing Oh the social and politica
standing of a congressman, says:
Il tell you, this thing of being &
congressman is a great thing; anG
when man has once been to con
gress he's fit for nothin' else. Al
ex-congressman is the most de-
spised creature on the face of tht
earth; 1 want to be a senator, tha
is the greatest club on earth to be-
long TO-"
The entire play from beginning
to end is filled with just sucl
bright, pithy lines, and was thor
oughly enjoyed by the large audi
ence present. Each member de,
serves especial mention for clever
work.

Frocks For WeddIngs.

Decided originality is shown by
many of the frocks now in preparation
for weddings. The first one shown in
the large cut, reproduced from the
New York Evening Sun, is wedding
gown in white satin. It's long tunic,
reaching clear to the skirt hem, is cut
into a series OF deep points finished
all around with frill upon frill in white
chiffon. A frilled and killed under
skirt in chiffon is revealed by the
tunic's points. The corsage consists
of an underblouse in killed chiffon
with bolero of the satin edged with o
chiffon frill.
All-lace wedding gowns will be popu-
lar. Here is one fashioned in fetch
ing way that can scarcely be improved
upon as a model for this sort of frock
in this sort OF material. Its founda-
ton, of course, is white satin, over
which is draped the lace. In this
case, the lace is Brussels of the finest
pattern. An edRinR Of chiffon frills

round the court train is effective.
Chiffon frills also trim the corsage at
throat and the sleeves at wrist. Across
the draped front of the corsage runs a
garland of orange blossoms.
The quaint touch impaired by the
fichu seems to be in high favor for
bridemaid gowns. Here. for instance,
is such frock in white Liberty satin,
with yoke IN white silk guipure and q
fichu in white chiffon frilled all round.
At the waist is broad sash with long
frilled ends in lily green chiffon.
Another model for q bridemaid's e
gown has it's fichu in white chiffon
also, but edged with lace. Soft white
satin is the material of this frock, the
skirt of which has deep shaped
founce edged with chiffon frills and
headed by several bands of white lace
insertions.
The no-collar vogue appears i'll q
third bridemaid frock model. This
also displays the bolero. without which
80 few costumes of whatever sort are
seen nowadays. The bolero is cream
colored guipure embroidered in dead
gold; the under blouse, which, finished
with the finest of frills at the throat,
does away with the necessity of coll
lar, is in killed lily green crepe de
chine.

Polo and War.

The cheerful and undaunted spirit
that can play polo at snch trying
times is doubtless admirable, but all
the same after the war is over, or
possibly before, the British may ask
themselves whether this universally
cultivated love of outdoor amusement
so excellent in itself. has not been
largely responsible for the inferior
professional training unquestionably
hampering the British military lead
ers. Has there not been too much
polo, or other things OF its kind? Has
not civilian play taken time that
should have been given to military
work? And has not play filed tie
minds of its votaries in the British
army with thoughts OF cups and
matches and how to win them, in-
stead of with the serious problems
which soldiers must expect to meet
and be trained to solve? We inclin
to think it has.
We are satisfied that the B i.isl
army would today be vastly more
efficient fighting machine than il its
officers there had been less poo AMI

The disinfection of the sick room

year by year. Crude drugs are now
replaced by active principles discov

of the bulky, nauseous draughts
of olden time, the invalid is given

A great part of physiology consis
of the study of chemical pro-
cesses, the transformation of COM
pounds within the living organism,
and practically all this advance is the
creation of the nineteenth century.
Modern bacteriology, at least in its
practical applications, began with
chemical discussion between Liebeg
and Pasteur as to the nature of fer
mentation; step by step the field of
exploration has enlarged; as the re-
suit of the investigations we have
preventive medicine, more perfect
sanitation and antiseptic surgery.
The ptomanes which will cause dis
ease and the antitoxins which prevent
it are alike chemical in their nature,
and were discovered by chemical
methods. Physiology without chem
istry could not exist; even the phen-
onema of respiration were meaning
less before the discovery of oxygen.
The human body is chemical labora-
tory, and without the aid of the
chemist it's mysteries can not be I'M
raveled. Prof. F. w. Clarke, in APP
pletons' Popular Science Monthly.
