WINNERS WERE
 HARD TO PICK Belle of Erin Fell and Had to be
 Shot. LENNEP WON THE BIG STAKE He Was a 80 to Shot, But Showed the Way from the Three Quar- ter Pole-The Favorite
 Was Not in It
LENNEP WON THE BIG STAKE

Nashville, May 1.-Another large crowd saw the racing at Cumberland park today. Winners were hard to pick, however, and the books reaped a harvest. But one fav- orite, Censor, rewarded his packers, the other successful ones being at comfort able odds in every instance. The track was fast, even for Cumberland park. In the last race Belle of Erin fell just before rounding into the turn for the stretch, breaking her leg. The lilly will be de- stroyed. Her jockey, Moody, escaped with heavy shaking up.
 The third race, the Gerst handicap sweepstake, at one mile, was the feature of the card. It proved an easy mark for the 30 to 1 shot Lennep, that showed the route from the three-quarter pole, winning after being shaken up a bit at the last. The Conqueror tired in the stretch, and John Baker, the favorite, was never in it. Free Lady, the winner of the first event, was at to 1, and led from start to finish. Goal Runner, the publics choice, finished away back and had no excuse. Censor car ried the talents money to victory in the second event, winnig all the route as he pleased Bill Massie ran good race, fin ishing strong in second place.
 Cloritas closing price was to l in the fourth race, and she went to the front when called on, finishing full of running. Zack Ford carrying lots of money, easily beat the rest of them.
 Elderim ran all round his field from a bad position in the. fifth race, and won with some to spare. Freak, the favorite, sulked
 Rosy Morn had a good following in the last event and won . way off, Sandurango, the favorite, not being able to get inside the money.

from sinking while on it's way to the

attached to it from thirty to sixty feet
apart. On reaching the shore the cable
is laid to the hut in a trench to keep
it out Of the sun which would injure
it. Then it goes up through the floor

other of the two points which are to

COTTON MANUFACTURES.

The New York Journal of Commerce
finds 20 new cotton mills started in the
South last April, with 113. 300 spindIes
and capitalization of S2,5O0.OO. The
consumption of cotton in the Southern
mills since September has been 1O5 ,OO7
bales, as against an increase of but 65.-
442 bales in Northern mills in the same
peroid. Southern mills took this
season so per cent. of the total con-
sumed in this country. rev Southern
mills produce fine goods, but in North
Carolina there are new mills that use
Sea Island cotton and make fine yarns
Ior the mercerizing trade. The manu-
facture Of wadding and towing is being
extended and knitting mills multipiv
rapidly. South Carolina still leads in
the building of new mills. but Texas
/ begins to go largely into the manu-
facture of cotton. The founding Of
/ schools for textile instruction is a
prominent educational feature in the
! South at present. The manufacture of
! textile machinery is about to begin.

CHAPTER XXXIV.

Ethel was always at her best with
Sir Oscar. He had the power Of bring
ing out all that was noblest in her
Her intellect, fancy, imagination, all
seemed the highest when she was talk
ing to him. She never looked so
beautiful or talked so we'll as with him
Her mind seemed to answer to his, her
quick, light, vivid fancy to respond to
every word of his. She began to look
forward to seeing him as one Of the
pleasures of her existence. One Of her
earliest thoughts in the morning would
be, Shall | see him today? Where
will it be? What will he say?" And
she reached this stage so unconsciOusly
that she would have been surprised if
any one had said to her, How very
much and how often you think of Sir
Oscar Charlcote!"
She thought, in her simplicity, that
it was happiness at having found a
friend-a real friend-that was making
life SO much brighter for her.
The Duchess of Clanbrook gave a
garden-party, at which Ethel was
queen. Lady st. Norman smiled to see
how she was beginning to take interest
il her toilet. She fancied that the
dark cloud which had so long rested on
he girls life was lifted at last. Ethel
chose a very beautiful dress and most
becoming bonnet. She went to the
gathering, hoping she would see Sir
Oscar there. 1t would be pleasant to
while away the summer hours by his
side-her friend-that dear friend
whose care for her made her so happy.
She went; there was a large crowd
Of fashionable people present, and the
scene was one Of great beauty and
animation. The party was held on
large and exceedingly beautiful lawn,
where great cedar-trees made pleas
ant shade, rare flowers gave out
sweetest odors, and pretty fountains
sent their ripping spray high in the
sunl1t air. 1t was a striking scene;
one not easily forgotten.
To be Continued.

changing the physical outlines of ho-
sisters, or as many of them as have
heard of the new fashion in stays and
can afford to pay the prices she asks.
To judge from the appearance Of the
women in Fifth avenue nowadays, the
number of these is large. Smart dress
makers tell their customers that it is
not possible to secure the best effects
of their skill unless the gowns are
fitted over these new corsets. These
produce the fashionable figure, and the
mOdish gown is today an inseperaDle
part of this fashionable figure. One is
scarcely without the other. It's
features are familiar, and the greatest
tribute paid to its charms by women
is their willingness to submit to an in
crease in their waist measure of from
three to four inches. For strange as it
may seem, the new stays make this
difference in the waist. The COM
pensating grace is an absolute dis
appearance Of the abdomen, even in the
case Of stout women. The bust is
necessarily very low, as the corsets arc
not more than five inches high. In ad-

dition to increasing the size of tie
waist their tendency is to make tie
bust smaller, and that feature has made
them unpopular with some who are
attracted by the long curves and the
straight back which they usually pro-
duce. The maker Of these stays inds
herself so occupied that the first fitting
is not promised under three weeks
They are tried on as carefully as a
gown and never leave her hands until
satisfactory in every particular.
Further down town is another woman
who is devoting herself with almost as
much absorption to changing the New
York feminine figure. Her method is
somewhat different, although the gen
eraI effect is the same. The stays
made by her come in three separate
pieces and are not united until after
they have been put on the wearer.
Women who wear them may De
recognized by the same peculiariries
produced by the other woman's stays.
although health rather than modish-
ness is the endeavor Of the second
manufacturer. The style came from
Paris and was brought here some yeal
ago by an American actress whose
peculiar figure had always been regard |
ed as the result Of nature rather than
art. But the women who followed her |
example all look like her nowadays |
and are perfectly satisfied

A NEW TABLE OIL.

A rival of cottonseed oil, as a substi-
tute for olive oil, is promised in corn
oil. This is by-product of corn. ex-
tracted from the little feck of yellow
which is known as the germ. To pre-
vent sprouting the germs must be re-
moved before the grain is shipped or
stored, and as the result of the process
employed gelatinous substance is OBJ
tanned, which has been used as a SUBJ
stitute for inseed oil in the manufac-
ture Of paints and for lubricating pur-
poses. Now it is announced that a
method has been discovered for clari-
flying, deodorizing, and making the oil
more palatable, with no material loss
as regards quality, and at the small
cost of 10 cents a gallon.-Scottish
