In the Federal Court of West Virginia
an Injunction has been granted restrain
n< the American Book Company from
selling Harveys English Grammar to
school b ards or attempting to sell 1t for
use in the schools in this State. The
suit for the injunction is new phase Of
the old schoolbook night between d. {.
Heath & Co. and the Book Trust
Heath brought suit to determine his
'ights, and Judge Jackson, in an elaborate
opinion. overrued the demurrer Of the de-
PENDANTS. and the case was to have been
tried at Martinsburg this month. Heath
now claims that the trust is endeavorlng
to sell its books to the country school
boards in violation of the rights of the
plaintiff. In granting the Injunction the
Court declined to set date for the hear
ing, because the main case was TO come
up in this city within few days.

EXQUISITE DINNER Gown.

aud wear long dresses when they
should be worn and short ones when
they are most suitable. Skirts are
short. 1t is true, but they are also snug
without looking scant. This is owing
to the clever way they are manipulate
ed The skirt is cut and baSted and
then tried on wrong side out, like a
dress waist and all the slack taken up
around the hips, and so that the stuff
shall not roll up and seem too clumsy
all the surplus cloth is cut away and
the seams pressed hat. The extra full
ness is turned into the foot Of the skirt
by imperceptible degrees, and that
gives the peculiar sweep so much de-
slred-that is, on that style of skirt
The others depend upon the stir stitch
ing or the presence of line Of feather
bone tape. In reality nothing gives
such a settled shape to a skirt as does
this tape, for II is flexible and yet stiff
enough to hold the whole firmly, and it
never gets soft, and so the skirt keeps
in form TO the last. Many Of the best
dressmakers put line of this along
the two front side breadths, and they
make all the difference in the set Of
the skirt.
To say something about the useful as
well as the strictly ornamental, l may
mention the pretty French iannels,
for they are taking a place in the econ
omy of dress never before expected
The colors and designs are all new and
unusually neat and even. one might
say. artistic, At any rate they are

patterns, and nearly all are worked ia

Democrats and Republicans.

Between the Republicans and the Dem
ocrats politics was quite lively Saturday
night. The believers in the doctrines of
both the great political parties had the
issues of the campaign expounded TO
them, the Republicans in the Central
Opera House and the Democrats in the
Court House.
Despite the inclemant weather, there
was good turn out at both meetings
and things were quite lively at both
places. If anyone had taken the trouble
to count the people at both meetings they
would have found the crowds TO be about
equal. The seats in the Court House were
ali taken up, while the Opera House was
equally well filled.
The Democrats met at the wigwam
and marched in body to the Court House
where,afte music by the City Band, Hon.
Alex Parks introduced the speaker, Hon.
Fred rick l.. Slddons, OF Washington,
d. {. Mr.. Siddons spoke interestingly
on the issues of the campaign for about
an hour devoting his entire attention to
denouncing Imperialism and the trusts.
M. 6iddons did not speak in way that
appealed to the passion, but dealt with the
questions he discussed in an able and
earnest manner. He was annoyed several
times by talking out in the hall, but an
officer soon took away the disturber and
he proceeded with his speech uninttrrupt-
ed, except by applause. AT its conclusion
there was continued cheering, the band
joining in with several patriotic selections.
AT the Rink the Republicans were adj
dressed by Capt. J. G. Capers, of South
Carolina and {. Van Vatere Gates, of
Washington, who, with F. M. Ovelton,
colored. spoke at the all.day basket picnic
at Jones Spring during the day. Gov.
| Atkinson and Hon. Chas. Caldwell, the
Two orators booked for the occasion, sue
cumbed to the effects of continued cam
paigning and they sent word that their
voices were in such condition thai they
could not be present.
Berkeley county audiences have become
well acquainted with Messrs. Capers and
Gates, both having been in the county
during the past week They both spoke
interestingly and their addresses were
punctuated with frequent applause
Thompson's Orchestra furnished music
for the occasion.

A Poor Youth Now Rich.

Berkeley Springs, w. Va, Oct. I5.-
Unheralded and unannounced. Jimmy
Adams dropped into town Saturday after
noon in private car drawn by special
engine. bringing with him $500, 900 and a
bunch OF trunks that would make an opera
favorite green with envy.
He came from Detroit by way of Nj
agara, in his private car, rented for the
occasion. witt. cook, butler, porter, barber,
etc at $500 day.
Jimmy Adams left this staid old town
four years ago with barely enough money
to get safely out ofgunshot range. He man-
aged TO reach Baltimore, worked his way
on a vessel to the Pacific coast, succeed
ed, somehow, in getting klondike outfit
together, and went to the North with the
gold seekers.
He struck it rich and came home two
years ago with fine bunch OF gold dust
which he divided among his family, buy
ing the old folks one of the best farms IN
the county, just on the outskirts of town.
He gave his father S2o,ooo to build
himself place on the farm, and carted
ST. 5000 in gold down to the Berkeley
Sprngs Savings Bank for safe keeping.
When he was at home two years ago he
took James Smith and George Siler, who
had been schoolmates of his back to the
Klondke with him, but the climate was
TOO much for them, and they had to come
home or die.
Saturday he appointed them his local
agents, with nothing to do but help him
amuse himself while at home and draw
fat salaries while he is away.
He will stay here awhile, but will return
t. the North to Keep close lookout on
mis- in erests,
He said that he had gotten out $780,
600 already, and his mines are worth tive
milliondollars. He has considerable unde-
yelope but promising property, and has
prosp dts equal to the greatest bonanza
king.

NEW York, Oct Eff we could not
see the fine and extrayagant things Of
fered for those women whose pockets
are always full aud who can afford
satin gowns for breakfast and velvet
ones for tea" we could not pose as
martyrs when we find it impossible to
get the same kind, and we would really
miss the comfort OF being able to say
things and 10 be just as miserable as
we wish. / think that half Of us enjoy
being miserable over the things of the
world we cannot have, and no one has
everything, and 50, instead of talking
about things we all can have, just let
US weep over the things we cannot
have, and those things shall be the
prettiest gown of the season, with the
natural conc0mitants of such a dress.
Now, this dress is for a grand dinner
where the service of the table is so
splendid that it needs fine gowning to
do honor to it all. This magnificent
gown-for all fine dresses for grand
functions are called gowns-is of ashes
Of roses silk so5strong and thick that it
would be almost an impossibility to
gather it into folds. The skirt is cut
so that one scarcely sees any place
where a seam might be. Yet the skirt
falls in heavy folds and is wide at the
foot and sweeps out in a train. Direct
~ at the bottom is a ruching Of black
crepe lisse about an inch wide, and
this Is headed by a close row of black
spangles set on in scalloped lines.
Along the front of the skirt is a stray
CLING pattern of spangles in different
'cOlors, some being black and others be-
ing green or red or whatever the pat
tern seems TO call for. These outlined
an apron front, and below this was a
wide applique of white Grape, and no
one could tell whore the Grape left off
and the lace began, so intermingled it
was At the bottom as well as the top
there was border of the spangles in
quite heavy arabesque. The medium
low waist had a blouse of white Grape
and over this a figaro of the silk Dor
dered with lace and spangled. The
neck was finished with a full ruchng
of white lace. and at the left siGe there
was bunch of moss green Grape
leaves. with pink flower of no species
| ever saw. The sleeves were long, but
they were arranged so that the wearer
could have them removed If she wished
to wear this gown for more pretentious
affairs than a dinner. With this 1t is
expected that the wearer shall have a
necklace of diamonds and emeralds,
and the same very precious stones are
in the ornament over the head. Would
we not all like to have such a gown?
| am Just little amused by the swift
adoption Of the short skirt and may
say that it is distinctly of American
origin. Already the papers have adj
rertsements in them to signify that
certain persons are ready to remodel
our walking skirts and make them the
new length, and so we know that the
short skirt is decidedly in. We know
little more about the fitness of things

On route No. 4 the carrier will omit that
portion east of the Opequon creek. and
extend service to Darkesvllle and Elyria.
The mail for Elyria will be taken by the
carrier in closed pouch, doing away with
