New Fad In woman.s Dress.

Ceramics have been for some time
getting into the dress world. and this
spring there is quite a fad for hand
painted buttons ana belt or stock
clasps, says the New York Times. One
woman up town in New York who does
some most attractive work in ceramics
has been busy as a bee recently filling
orders for buttons. These are about
as large as a penny, M she paints
them in any design desired, according
to the fancy of the customer or to
match a gown. There are designs in
forgetmenots for blue gowns, tiny de-
signs in green for summer frocks that
have a little green in them, and one
woman received a. an Easter gift a set
Of three buttons in pink roses Upon a
blue ground. This is an attractive de-
sign. and it is a good one to go with
different colors.

Cotton Crop Statement.

Norfolk, Va, July 26.-The cotton
crop statement covering Virginia,
North and South Carolina issued to-
day shows that the condition is i'm
proved, although there has been too
much rain in the cotton belt, but no
injury as yet to the crop. which will
be two weeks late. Labor is reported
very scarce and high, due to the fact
that cotton pickers have deserted
the South for Northern summer re-
sorts, where they find more profit
able situations.

TRAIN WRECKED.

Track on a Sharp

Asheville, July 37.-A wreck
disastrous in the loss of life ard
property, occurred this morning
a short distance below Marshall,
on the main line of the Southern
Railway. No. IS, the regular
passenger train, scheduled to
leave this city at lilo, was running
at a very high speed when it
reached Frisbee curve, the sharp
est curve on the river. The train
had left Asheville something like
a half hour late and the engineer,
Leo ID. Watson, of Knoxville,
Tenn, is sad 10 have remarked
that ''if she rounds this curve all
right, she will do to bank on"
These were his last words. The
engine, tender and every car left
the track, except the Pullman.
The engineer was killed instantly
and his colored fireman had a
miraculous escape. This can be
also said of the express messen-
ger and m Ill clerk, for their car
was thrown over in a corn field
and left lying on the side. The
engine is Little more than scrap
iron and also lies in the corn field
80 feet from the track,
When the train left the track all
the lights went out and for some
time the trainmen and distressed
and frightened passengers were
compelled to work in total dark
ness. For a time only a single
match could be found. This match
was u:ed by W. r. Fraley in
lighting the fuse 10 signal an ap-
preaching train, and thus a sec
ond catastrophe was prevented.
When ligh's yer finally secured
it was ascertained that while there
were innumerable bruises, only a
single passenger had sustained in
iuriea that were at all sariOus. The
injured man was j. P. Harper, of
Salisbury.
Several ladies tainted and there
was much sympathy for a lady
who sat by a casket containing the
body of her child. She was thrown
violently to the side of the car.
Her first question was concerning
the rema' MS of the child.

LEFT IN BAD SHAPE.
"Trip Made This Tan Miserable for a
Year.

From REPORTER ournal, Gardiner, Me.
Sometimes an attack of grip appears to be
cured but the patient remains in broken
health and subject to discomfort at every
change of the weather. This was the eX-
perience of Mr. Sumner Cross of so Me-
chanic Street, Gardiner, Maine. He says /:
ga severe attack of the grip, about five
years ago, left me in a very bad state [
could not sleep and l had no appetite. My
head felt heavy and | was rather dizzy at
times. Changes of the weather seemed to
have bad effect upon me and | was miser-
able most of the time

lady, who had heard me complain, recon-
mended DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. Shortly after this had occasion to
go to Bangor, and there | bought six boxes
of the pills. While taking the second box |
began to feel benefited. When had taken
them all | felt so much better that bought
six boxes more and have always consider

School improvement Leagues.

The School Improvement Leagues of
Maine have an enrolment of about
thirty thousand at the present time
The members of the Leagues have
graded and otherwise improved many
school yards, rebuilt a large number of
the fences of school grounds, replaced
disgraceful outbuildings with suitable
structures, painted and papered scores
of schoolrooms, purchased hundreds of
volumes of useful books, and provided
thousands of reproductions of works of
art, besides uniting teachers, pupils,
and citizens generally in working for
the school, and through this work de-
veloping an interest that will make it
more useful to the community in which
it is located. The Leagues have recent
ly made choice of Supt. Payson Smith
of Rumford Falls and Mexico as presi
dent of the State League, and Miss
Kate Mcdonald, principal of the
Machias Grammar School, as secre-
tary and treasurer These officials were
among the first to organize Leagues
and have been among their most
efficient and enthusiastic supporters.
They are both exceptionally fitted by
training and experience for the duties
which will devolve upon them. 1t is
probable that the membership will be
doubled during the next twelve months.
While the Leagues are living up to
their notices: Better physical sur
roundings; best books for all; art in the
schoolroOm; yet it's most important
work is in restoring the old-time pride
and enthusiasm in the local school
The value of this interest cannot be
overestimated.

that displayed two wide rows of shin
ing ivory, ventured to remark, II heard

The truth was the boy thought
Myrtle the prettiest and incest girl he
had ever seen. She always had kind
word for everyone, and none but the
selfish and envious could help loving
her.
The store keeper, who had hitherto
taken no part in the conversation, yet
was an attentive listener, now remark
ed, "Mrs. Hadley is a noble woman:
besides being very intellectual and
scholarly. She has kind and generous
heart, added to an unusually fine judy

orphan you may depend upon it she is

found someone to help her forget her
own sorrows Hers has been an un
usually sad life yet her martyr spirit has
bravely borne what would have wholly
crushed many in her place."
Here Tom Brown, who always took
the strongest and most popular side of
the argument, but who had not the
moral courage to oppose Jones, and
only needed stronger nature to lead,
now quite boldly remarked, Il don't see
as its anybuddy's bizness what Miss
Hadley does with her money, she come
honestly by it, anyhow, which is morne
some folks can say of their own
relatives in this village
The truth was, Jones brother Jim,
whose wealth he was so proud of, was
trader who had twice failed, but always
put on more style and made more show
with his money after than before his
failure. Although Jones was a brag-
ging, clustering fellow, he was at heart
sneaking coward.
All felt the full force of Toms missile
and the storekeeper smiled to see how
quickly Jones tried to turn the CONVEX
sation into different channel.
