..nInmmx,sv Art CrIticism.

The old negro NANNY of the
ante-bellum type is fast disappearing,
and when one does meet with the
genuine article there is generally rea-
son to remember the occasion pleas
antly. Recently a gentleman was
making some purchases in a small
grocery in West Baltimore, when
there entered the store one of these
characters belonging to days gone by.
Hanging conspicuously on the wall
of the store was large lithograph
depicting an airily clad youngster in
a field of waving grain. The picture
Immediately caught the eye of the
newcomer.
"Who's dat?'' she asked the clerk.
"Why, that's George Washington. ="
replied the clerk, with a twinkle in
his eye.

A LITTLE JEwELED BAG.
1t Is Built to Match a WOman's Brooch
and Rings and I'm Ii Carry
Things.

Not back in the 1880 days was the
hand bag of more prominence in
woman's dress than now. Then, in
that budding Victorian era, dress
skirts were so skinny that there was
no room for a pocket; now they are
scant again, and the tiebacks of win
ter absolutely forbid the excrescence
of a pocket anywhere, says a dress
exchange.
To reach a pocket in the back
breadths is such an ungraceful act
that women hesitate to perform it
in public; to carry pocket in the
side is not always possible and never
pretty, as it gives her a lopsided
look. The pocket in the petticoat
is absurd and the little jacket pocket
is useless. So to the hand bag she
is driven.
The new bags are some of them
gorgeous in color and exquisite in
texture-and in price. You can really
pay anything you wish for a hand
bag. A jeweler just complied one
for one of the Vanderbilt ladies. It
was in Louisine silk of blue green
color. The shape was oblong, about
foot by five inches in width. Around
the lower edge of the bag there was
an applique of cloth of gold of the
kind which Louis XI. loved so well.
The remainder of the bag was
gemmed with the jewels put on so
that they formed an immense rose
with leaves and stem. The price was
so discouraging to the woman OF
average purse that it is best not to
tell it.
Neat little hand bags can be made
at home. If there is a gold clasp
in the family it can be attached to a
little silken bag made in any shape
desired. The work of fastening on
the clasp should be done carefully to
give a neat appearance. The inside
can be in a contrasting color. A
bag of violet satin to match or con.
trast with g. tailored suit is very
pretty Let the outside be studded
with steel naii heads or with siIvered
ones or nail heads of gold. The lin.
ing should be gorgeous orange satin
and the initial is worked inside the
bag, not outside.
Very long chains can be wound
twice around the arm or the chair
can be worn around the waist to sort
of dress up the belt. The wardrobe
of winter-if one would be very be.
comingly attircd always-should in.
clude not one bag alone, but a dozen.
Let them be of all shapes and in all
sizes and OF every color that will &C
we'll with the costume. The lining
may be very gay, indeed, and should
show vivid contrast to the com.
paratively sober outside.

Knew from Experience.

Not long ago, in Perthshire, Scot
land, relates a foreign exchange, a
woman was driving her husband down
a narrow lane, when, on turning a
sharp corner, they encountered a
brewers cart. Neither had room to
pass, and in most disagreeable tones
the woman said:
''He must go back, for I shall not.
He ought to have seen US before en-
tering the lane"
but, my dear" how could he, with
this sudden turn in the road?'
Il don't care" said the woman,

DULUTH Is MODEST.
Not Much Legislation Required for That
Part of the State.

st. Paul, JAM 90 Members of the
st. Louis county delegation express
themselves as we'll satisfied with ex-
listing conditions in the northern part
of the state and say it is not their in
tention to ask anything in the line of
special legislation. Representative
Laybourn, who is the authority for
this statement, said yesterday morn
ing:
"Aside from the securing of an ap-
preparation which is necessary to rem
der the new normal school ready for
occupancy, we have nothing special in
mind. Even this matter will, of course,
come under the conside ration of the
committee on normal schools, so we
will not need to devote much time or
energy to it. The building is now
complete with the exception of the
heating, plumbing and fittings and
grading the ground, and we do not
anticipate that there will be any OBJ
lection on the part of the legislature
in giving us enough to go ahead and
get the building ready for use.
''If the primary law, now in force
in Hennepin county, is made appli-
cable to the entire state, think our
delegation will favor it. We would
not, however, want to see it limited
in it's operation to the cities of Duluth,
st. Paul and Minneapolis; neither
would we give it our support if it was
extended over the smaller cities and
leave out the country villages. If it
is made broad enough to take in every
voting precinct in the state, we will
support it. Otherwise, we may not.
Of course, we cannot tell about that
until the time comes.

Disappeared.

S. Wilhartz, secretary of the Stand
ard Brewing Co., Wednesday visited

swore out complaint charging the
company's shipping clerk, Henry

drafts and some cash and was told to
60 to the First National bank and pro-
cure a draft for 1891. % and send the
same to Revenue Collector Van Bonn
bach at st. Paul for some revenue
stamps. He was given an unsealed
letter to the revenue collector, and
was to have placed the draft in the
letter, which he was then to seal and
mail. Nelson went to the bank and
got the two small drafts cashed, put
the money in his pocket and has not
been seen in the city since. This was
last Thursday. 1t is known that he
went to Winnebago City and thence
back through Mankato to st. Paul,
where he was seen Saturday on the
streets by travelling man who knew
him. He did not buy ticket, but
paid his fare on the train, and turned
up his coat collar when going through
Mankato.

smooth shaved, about thirty-five
years old, weights about $50 pounds,
is cross eyed, and talks loudly. He
wears a brown suit and black derby
hat. He was born and raised at Win
nebago City, where he still has rela-
tives. He worked at the knitting mill
before going to the brewery.

CASES DECIDED.

Judge Shissler filed two decisions
today. One is in the case of F. j.
Lake VS.. E. j. Wilkes, and defendant
wins, as the court finds that more
than six years have elapsed since the
matter occurred.
A Judgment for $26. Is is rendered
for the plaintiff in the case of G. R.
Croft Co. VS.. ] oseph Baumgartner, but
the defendant secures verdict for the
costs as he had made a tender of the
amount of the judgment. The plain
tiff sued to recover Sc. 76S for some
baking powder furnished the defend
ant but the latter claimed that labels
were not furnished as agreed, render
ing the baking powder of little value.
