FOR THE JUNE BRIDE.

Rose weddings are always popular ln June; daisy weddings likewise.
 The bridesmaids at a fashionable wedding soon to be will carry large, picturesque hats filled with flowers. During the reception these will be hung on the arm by wide ribbons.
 White orchids and lilies of the val ley are the flowers fashionably pre- 1erred for the bouquet of the June bride They will be arranged in the 1avorite shower form tied with a big fluffy bow of white tuIle.
 Among novel fancies exploited re- gently at weddings abroad the brides maids flowers took the form of bows and arrows, the bows made of button roses or lilies of the valley, the ar rows of orchids or other contrasting flowers. Directoire staffs, or crook like the picturesque affair Miss Bo- Peep carried when she went a-hunt- ing her straying sheep, with bou- quets on the top, are dainty.

HANNA EVA FAY"

-zana Eva Fay, who is known as the ssFair Mahatma'' and whose perform aneesf have startled other places, made her first appearance in this city last night at Polls theater, where, judging from the applause and comment ot the large audience, she duplicated the sue cess she has made elsewhere. Miss Fat's performance is not only wonder fdl but unique, being something differ ent from anything yet seen here, and in many of its features, leads those who witness it to doubt the existence of their senses. Miss Fay first appear cd in a.number of cabinets tests, which were under the direct attention of committee from the audience, and these gentlemen declared that they were unable to comprehend or explain the manner in which they were ac- complfshed MT Peck, one of the com mittee. saying, s'it is the most marvel ous and most incomprehensible thing ever saw.v Miss Fay's other cOntribu- ton to the performance was her new Oriental mystery. While in a hypnotic sleep, blind-folded and GOV cred by heavy cloth, she read at least 100 questions which people in the au- dience had written and hidden in their pockets. She not only read the ques- tions and gave absolutely correct an- swers in each instance, but also called out the names of the questioners. Every exclamation of wonder and amaZement was heard during this portion of the performance which is strangely inter- esting and fascinating. With Miss Fay appeared the Four Luciers, the best musical team ever seen in Water bury and whose performance last night made great hit. Miss Fay's engage ment extends throughout the week with matinees for ladies only on Thurs day and Saturday. Popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents, prevail.

The action of the owners of the cot
ton, wooden and knitting mills of the
state in the matter of the employment
of children in the mills will be very
generally approved. AS stated in our
dispatches yesterday children under
twelve years of age are not to be en-
ployed in mills at night at ALL and
not in the daytime unless it is shown
that they are the only dependence of
a widowed mother or of physically dis
abled parents and have attended school
at least four months in the year.
There has been good deal of agi-
tation of this question of child labor
in the mills within the last year or
two, and it is probable that an effort
would have been made at the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature
to enact a law bearing upon it II the
mills had not taken action in regard
to it.
The fact that the mills have acted
would seem to indicate that they are
not anxious for the labor of children
of tender years. 1t may be that they
profit to some extent by such labor,
but the probabilities are that parents
are chiefly responsible for the presence
of children in the mills. They are anx-
ious to profit by their labor and put
them to work just as soon as the mills
will accept them.
Perhaps 1t would be advisable for the
Legislature to enact law embodying
the agreement into which the mills
have entered. If that were done the
agitation of the child labor question
would cease. AS long as there is no
law on the subject. even though the
mills adhere TO the agreement, there
will be some who will keep the agita-
ton alive.
No doubt the mills are willing TO have
legislation in accordance with their
agreement. Otherwise they would not
have taken any action.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
children shall not be put into the
mills at an age when close confinement
would check their growth, ruin their
health and prevent them from getting
even the rudiments of an education.

Avn ArI.nnsn. Snake story.

Whenever the dog days roll around
heard in Arkansas some years ago."
said a gentleman who lives in this
city now, according to the New Or
leans Times Democrat, land while
will not vouch for the accuracy of the
tale, it has become part of the his
tory of the county in which it was said
to have happened. Lee is the name
of the county, and the story developed
about the time the county came into
existence. about the time it was
carved out of sections of st. Francis
and Phillips counties. Crowley's Ridge,
a chain of hills which break off at the
foot of the Ozarks and slope down
windingly through Arkansas until they
touch the Mississippi River at Old
Town, some distance below Helena,
runs through these counties. This
chain of hills passes through the CEN
ter of Lee county, following the line
of the st. Francis river. On top of this
ridge, at very high point, midway
between Helena, in st. Francis coun-
ty, and Mariana, the county seat of
Lee county, there is a very large pond,
and it never went dry but once in it's
history. But during a very dry spell,
in 1880, the water in this pond disap-
peared. Farmers for miles around had
watered their stock there when other
places failed. 1t was nearer to some of
them than the river. When it went dry
they were forced to go to the river.
The pond was a perfect Mecca for the
snakes in the hills, and in the summer
evenings it would become a seething
mass of snakes; dry-land moccasins,
copper bellies, adders and rattlers
would gather around the pond, swim
across it, wallow in 1t, dive in it and
cool themselves off. When the water
gave out they were in a dilemma.
What have said vouch for. but now
cometh the point of this yarn. 1t was
in the dog days when the water gave
out. The snakes were shedding, and
their cast-off coverings could be found
scattered all through the hills. They
hit upon a plan. Down in a deep hol-
low on one side of the ride they found
a concealed spring. No living man
knew 1t was there. They wanted to get
water from this spring to fill the pond,
which had gone dry. They constructed
hose, which ran from the spring to
the pond at the top of the hill in this
wise: They stretched out in an I'M
broken line from the spring to the
pond, and the hindmost snake let his
tail drop over into the spring; then
they swallowed each others tails, and
began to crawl slowly through the
chain of sheddings to the top of the
hill, and the water followed them up
the hill through the improvised hose
and trickled out into the pond, and so
there you are. It's not my story. I'm
simply telling il, that's ALL"

Atlanta has a paving case similar
to the CASTOR street case in this city.
1t promises to be fully as interesting
as that case. 1t seems that Washing
ton street was paved with macadam.
The property holders of the street were
assessed to pay for it. The city au-
thorities decided to take up the maca-
dam and pave the street with asphalt,
the macadam being used on another
street. The property owners of the
street were also assessed for the as
phalt pavement, no reduction being
made for the macadam pavement.
Some of the property owners of the
street have notified the city authori-
ties that they will not pay the assess
ment for the asphalt pavement. They
propose to have the question tested in
the courts as to whether they can be
assessed for paving at the will of a
city council. They take the position,
probably, that they have no assurance
that the City Council will not take up
the asphalt pavement within year or
two and assess them for brick pave
ment.
One of the Directing property owners
is Mr.. julius Brown. He holds that
it has been decided by the United
States Supreme Court that the method
of levying pavement assessments in
Atlanta-that is. assessing property so
much per front foot-is illegal. Ac-
cording to this decision. If Mr.. Brown
is quoted correctly, the assessment
must be in accordance with the value
of the lots. The lot that is worth
$4,000 must pay twice as much as the
lot that is worth only $1,000
Here in Savannah lots for paving
purposes are assessed so much per
front foot. If Mr.. Brown is right the
assessment must be in accordance with
the value of each lot. But what the
people would like to have definitely
and forever decided is, whether city
can put down one kind of a pavement
and If it does not like it can put down
another kind and make the abutting
lot owners pay for both kinds of
pavement. Here in Savannah the city
put down a she'll pavement on CASTOR
street. The property owners of the
street were we'll satisfied. They paid
their share of the cost of the pave
ment. The city tore it up in order to
make certain drainage improvements.
Instead of repairing the pavement 1t
decided to put down another kind of
pavement, and make the own
ers of the abutting property
pay a certain share OF the cost of it.
The seeming injustice of this is the
cause of the suit to which the lot own
ers and the city are parties. Out of
the Atlanta case and the case in this
city may come decision that will be
of some comfort to city lot owners.

The subjects TO which the President
gave prominence in his speech at the
Pan American Exposition on Thursday
win no doubt be the leading ones In
his message TO Congress in December.
In the course of his remarks he said
that the pressing problem Of the pres
ent time in this country was how 10
find markets TO take the surplus OF
our products at remunerative prices.
There is no doubt that this is press
ing problem. If such markets could
not be found we should have troublous
times. However bountiful crops might
be there would be starving people IN
our cities and suffering people in our
rural communities if we could not sell
the surplus products of our factories
and farms.
There is a struggle going on now
among the great commercial nations
for control of the markets of the world,
and there is growing feeling of hos
tility TO this country in Europe be-
cause il has succeeded in capturing so
large a share of them. But 'se have
not yet secured all of the markets we
want. With greater markets we could
greatly increase the output of our fac
tories and farms, and the Increase
would afford more employment for our
people.
Evidently the President is a firm be-
lever in reciprocity treaties as
means for creating larger markets fer
our surplus products. 1t would not DC
surprising therefore if the Senate. next
winter, should give a great deal o.
it's time to the consideration of such
treaties, Notwithstanding the fact that
a number of them were turned down
during the last Congress. The Presi-
dent no doubt will recommend them
strongly.
In connection with such treaties the
ship subsidy BILL the Pacific cable bill
and the Nicaragua canal bill will be
urged. 1t will be claimed, in all prob
ability that they are all necessary for
the development of the country, and
any one of them.
A significant utterance in the Presi-
dents Pan-American speech was the
statement that IL would be advisable
to repeal tariff duties not needed for
revenue or for protection. 1t woul1
seem that at least some of the Re-
publican leaders are beginning to I'M
derstand that there is a growing sem
timent against that protection which
enables the great trusts to sell their
products in the home market at much
higher prices than they are selling
them for in foreign markets, and that
if the Republica party is to continue
to remain in power it must change
its position CT the tariff.
OF course ,ne Republican leaders do
not want to open up the whole tariff
question. Il may be that it is their
plan to avoid ing so by directing
attention to reciprocity treaties. If
they can make the public believe that
as much can be accomplished IN the
direction of freer trade by means of
reciprocity treaties as by a general re-
vision of the tariff they may be able
to prevent the trusts from being de-
prived of the protection which they
now enjoy.
