the edge of the broken glass with a brush.
White lead VIII ch may be bought in small
tin boxes, makes an excellent china cement.
The lead should be applied to the broken
place with match or small piece of wood,
and never with the finger. A bit of mar
row swiss or thin gauze put on inside the
break helps the cement to hold. The lead
will not have hardened enough for safety
in less than a week.
Other Useful Hints.
Broken china and crockery of all kinds
may be mended by covering the broken
surface with the unbeaten white of an egg
and then dustlng over the egg powdered,
air-slaked lime.
Another way is to slake some lime in
boiling water beat the white of an egg
with tablespoonful of water and stir in
enough of the slaked lime to form thick
paste. This cement must be used at once,
as 1t hardens when kept for time
Some persons say that cracked china or
crockery is strengthened by placing 1t in
an hour or more. The cracked pieces
should be held in place by a stout string,
which, according to directions, should
main on the china for a week. The writer
has not much faith in this method, and
would advise those who wish to try it to
begin on valueless bits of ware.
China Hospital.
Broken china should be mended as soon
as possible after breakage, for then the
surface has not become soiled and no dis
even. When the broken surface is soiled
it ought to be cleansed before mending.
The cement should not be put on too thick.

PARIS. October 6. 1900.
Among the changes in fashion welcomed
with the season is the use of much
gold braid. Fashionable gowns glitter like
hussar's uniform. Collars cuffs and rev
erS are faced with cloth of gold. hats are
trimmed with gold ribbon and gold cords.
and evening shoes are embroidered with
patterns in the glittcring metal. 1t is all
very fine and gorgeous now but a little
later. when weather and wear have marred
the glory of the tinsel. we shall have some
very shabby looking fnery
In the shops are sold separate boleros
embroidered heavily in gold well as en-
broidered sets of cuffs and collars. The use
of the gold embroidcrfes requires a consid-
cradle outlay of money. and the fact that
they are startling will assure them but
short reign. for once the cheap limitations
are taken up by the bourgeOise of Paris
the fashionable danes will have none of
them.
The use of tinSel ribbon promises to be-
come very widespread. Before long we
shall be reveIiug in all sorts of patterned
tnSels, the smooth cloth worked in small
patterns with gid thread. Gold buckles
and belts enjoy renewed popularity in this
craze for the loved metal. Heavily en-
hToIdered bodices and skirts for evening
wear are handsome affairs. but a Weari-
ness to the wearer, for the gold applied to
them usually in the aggregate makes them
very heavy.

Serges for the season are of a stiff. un-

are the most popular.
The Double Sleeve
There seems to be no marked demand for
the wearing of any special garment. The
bell shaped or double sleeve the sheath

seem to be the only striking features which
predominate in chic costumes. Bo.eros

The gold embroidered boleros mere encir-

fashionable now. For evening wear the
lace bOlerO. either embroidered in gold or
Colors or appliqued with figures in velvet,
Is accounted the most desirable of the nov

Striking Evening Dresses

Evening gowns this year are certainly
most elaborate. Fancy, white mousseline

over pale blue silk foundation; long,
transparent sleeves Of the embroidered
mousseline de sole; roses on the shoulders
and In the front of the bodice: roses also
round the edge of the foundation skirt!
Another is an ecru guipure over cream
SILK, covered with beige mousseline de sole;
a bolero of guipure over cloak Of mousse

Of guipure, finished with shirt sleeves of
mousseline de sole, with ruching round the

PIE straps clasped the jacket in the front.
The use of an appliqued embroidery of the
black velvet baby ribbon to the revers gave
the touch of harmony necessary to Justify
the unusual use of velvet ribbon straps.
Cut of the Winter Coat.
Winter coats, whether of fur or cloth,
are either very short very long and very
loose The short affairs are the boleros
ending at the waist line with a queer little
rounding off of the front and an immensely
high collar If the jacket is of fur. The
boleros, whether of sealskin, sable, caracal
or Persian .amb are considered more up to
date if finished off with the gold faced or
gold embroidered reVers and collar. The
very long wraps of fur are, if of sable,
shaped to make waist and skirt appear to
be quite distinct the lines of the sable in
the waist running horizontally, those in the
skirt vertically.

Fairmonter, found himself right at
home among his many Harrison coun-

court here this week. Mr.. Swisher is
a candidate for the republican nomi-

He proposes making thorough can

neck % the woods in the coming
months. His Characteristic zeal and
energy, as well as his natural atTabil-

fight on his part and he may come up
mighty against the many opponent
candidates for the place. There's no
telling what the future will bring

he does we can count upon his making
a winning race in the campaign.

Local interest in McG0vern Dixon Mill

Much local interest was manifest in
the Dixon fight, occurring
Tuesday night, and considerable mon
ey, about $1,000, changed hands. Our
colored sports felt confident of their
man, George Dixon, the colored cham
pion, while the Irish members of the
white sporting fraternity, counted
equally asstrong upon Terry Mccoy
ern, the peerless and invincible light
weight Irshman. The fight was one
of the most scientific on record. In
the eighth round Dixon's manager
threw up the sponge and saved Dixon
from an actual Knockout; at the same
time he transferred the feather-weight
championship to McGoyern, the color
ed boy having held it the past eight
years. Our colored boys are sorely
disappointed, but grin and bear it like
the game they are.

As well as Drunk, and Pursues
Two Respectable Ladies' on
principal streets ofthe city.
The Elraged Husband
Pommsls The Tinker
And Virtually Wipes upthe Street
with the Desperate who dared
insult His Wife and
daughter.

The amazing spectacle Of an intoxi-
Gated man following two respectable
women around on the principal street
OF the city and insulting them is the
latest sensation of our modern city
dom. An amorous tinker OF Bridge
port was the transgressoI who violated
all rules Of courtesy and chivalry char
acteristic OF American manhood to-
ward respectable women. Demon
drink had made a villain out of him
and apparently he was bent upon COM
mittinga tiendish deed.
Last Friday night the two ladies
were returning to their home from the
West End, where they had been to
call upon a sick relative. They MOTTO
ed man following them but did not
become alarmed until theyapproached
the Osborn residence on Main street,
where they met lady friend and
stopped a moment to talk with her.
Their pursuer passed them, went on a
short distance, turned around and
beckoned with one OF his hands to one
OF the ladies to come to him. They
paid no attention to him, but crossed
to the other side Of the street and
proceeded towards home. He continu-
ed to pursue them and they stepped
into Willoughby Harrisons hardware
store to elude him. But his persist
ency enticed him into the store, too.
The ladies left the store at once and
the man followed. In front of the
Misses Twins home. they met the
husband Of one of the women, told
him about the episode and pointed the
amorous tinker from Bridgeport out
to him. What the enraged husband
did to the pursuer of his wife and
daughter was a plenty. Heslung the
man bodily against that picket fence,
knocked him into the DITCH pommel-
led him vigorously, used all the re-
serve forceo of muscles developed over
a blacksmith's anvil until the object
of his contempt was thoroughly pound
ed into sobriety for the time being at
least, and with a last few dexterous
kicks of admonition he sent the fellow
on his way bruised and sore. The next
time the tinker tries that game there
will likely be a dead Bridgeporter.

COUNTY POLITICS.
The Republican Candidates For County
Offices Begin the Campaign
Quite Early.

Circuit court attracted an unusually
large crowd OF people this week and
among them were seen many of the
republican aSpirants forcounty offices
from the sheriffalty tothe county as
sessorships. These candidates occupi-
ed much of their time in circulating
among the crowd, shaking hands and
having little quiet talks on the side.
II was no time at all until there was
a pretty, little, good-natured spirit Of
rivalry which Of course, made scenes
interesting not only to those immedi-
ately concerned, but even to the
casual observer. The OCCASION was al
most looked upon as the opening Of
the campaign. 1t was at least time
of electloneering and the new hands
at the bellows, as we'll rs the old, fell
in line as naturally as IL they had
practiced the winning art since their
childhood. The Telegram is especial
ly pleased to note the fact that the re-
lations are so friendly ndthat no SEM
blance Of bad feeling prevails among
the candidates. There isevery reason
to believe that the next campaign
among the republicans will be har-
monlous throughout and that the
party will be one solid, united phalanx
against the enemy.
The candidares for sheriff on the
republican ticket, so far as known now
are, j. |. Alexander, Of this city:
Pierce Sldebottom, of Union district,
and John A. Fleming, of Clay district.
Candidates for the nomination for
prosecuting attorney are, Maj. A. G..
Moore, II. T.. Tyson, J. E. Law and w.
Frank Stout.
For assessor in the Upper district
Maynard Shuttleworth, Of Elk district
w. L. Leonard Of Tenmilc, and David
Bumgardner, will presentthelr claims.
In the Lower district Jesse @. Law
son, of Simpson district; James A.
Griffin, Of Eagle; Cyrus Thompson. of
Clay and Isaac L. DAVIDSON OF Sardis,
are candidates for assessor
There may possibly bea few other
candidates for assessor but the list al
ready mentioned probably covers the
field for other offices.
Before many months the candidates
will probably make announcements
through the columns of the Telegram,
and as they do so this paper will ar
range toglve them elaborate and mer-
tied notice.
