Hot Springs telegram says that 7,,doo A. M. Duffie delivered his de- oision an the new question raised in- ,-olvine the validity of the anti-gam- |h1ino law He overruled the motions and demurrer of the attorneys for the defense and held the law to be good and valid as a whole, excepting sec +ion 1. which prescribed a different nenaltv on the. passage by the house from that prescribed by the senate. The other sections are identical in both bills, and as the several sections are independent of each other, and each prescribing it's own penalty, the court held that section. 4 may be elim- inated without invalidating the others and without destroying the purpose of the act.
 The purpose of the act is to sup nress eamblins;; section 1 providing punishment for bribery; it can be eliminated and yet leave a good act. such was the pufport of Judge Duff fe's ruling.
 Section of the new anti-gambling law is as follows:

The English women were gowned with the utmost regard for utility and comfort The American and French women appeared in toilets of silk and satin and lace which prop erly had no place whatever in the ex. position grounds But while the French Womens clothes were as beautiful as the American Womcn'S, and fuller of that indescribable charm called syle, they were not nearly SC costly. The cost Of dressing grows greater every year, and the shifts of fashion are prompter and more inn perative Where the English woman goes plainly dressed with a serene mind the American woman keeps up with the fashion, but lines her face with anxious thought as to how il shall all be managed Our last sea sons gowns. perfectly fresh and just as pretty and suitable as ever, are al tered and recut and fetrimmed at the cost of many dollars and much time and hard work, not because they need it. not because We want to, either, but simply because Mrs Wood across the way. and Mrs. Pope in the next street, are doing the same thing-and they are doing it because we are. The truth is, We American women not only lay too much emphasis upon dress. so that it takes quite too prom
 nent place in our scheme of life. but we also spend too much money on dress.

WOMEN CONSIDERED POOR PAY.
Most of Them Fail to Settle Bills
 Promptly and Cause Trouble.

"Tradespeople. in general. consider women as poor pay. writes Edward Box. in the Ladies' Home Journal for June --The vast majority of shelter ed women seem to have no conception of the anXieties trorble. poverty. suf fering priva' on. injustice and posi- tive cruelty which they directly in- tlict upon hard-working women by a carelessness in promptly meeting their bills. If this practice were con- fined to the few one might dismiss it with shrug or a sigh that it existed at all. But it applies to the majority of women. Let a woman look into this matter carefully and she will be surprised at the evils which result from this careless disregard of obi- cations Whene@@r you find a femi- nine industry there yon will find ledger full of unpaid accounts.

TO PROSECUTE
WHITE-CAPPERS
Senator Clayton Left Last Night for
ord-History of the
Trouble.

State Senator Graham Clayton the Com
monweaith,s Attorney of Bedford, re-
turned from that county yesterday. He
Went home TO represent the State in the
preliminary examination Of the cases or
the alleged .wlaite-capperz. The hearing
was postponed until to-day. Mr.. Clawor
returned to Bedford City last night
The Senator states that there have been
some fifteen or twenty arrests made. The
accused persons are, as q rule, men OF
high standing. They are al out on bail.
Mr.. Claytor said he did not know what
evidence Detective Hatcher had secured
against the gentIsmen under arrest.
The Bedford '.White-capping'' story dates
back several months. 1t had its beginning
after a criminal assault was committed
to try and ascertain the name of the Of
man rather roughly with a view to max
ing him tell anything he might know
about the crime. The old mans case
was investigated by the grand Jury. but
he was unable to give the name of, or to
identify any ons, who was in the party.
Lately Mr.. Jopling, the agent at Goodies
Station, and a justice of the peace, Who
investigated the old negros case, was
treated badly by the te-cappers. The
grand jury also investigated has case
but he could not furnish any Information
upon which to base an Indictment.
Mr. C.aytor IS determined to probe the
matter TO the bottom, and if any evil
dence of the guilt of the accused pp<ties
is furnished him, the cases viii be vigor-
oISly prosecuted

THE GIANT DEAL
ACCOMPL PLISHED
Harmony Through Community of
Ownership in Manufacture
of Steel Products.
(By Assoc;ute0 Press ,

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Thc Mail and
Express and the Evening Post to-day
announce the sale Of the Carnegie stock
to the j. p Morgan syndicate as an ac-
compiished fact.
The Mail and Express says:
1.-The only hitch that occurred in the
negotiations leading up to the trlnsIer
OF the control Of the Carnegie Company
was in relation to the control OF the
bonds held by Mr.. Carnegie. The Morgan
syndicate agreed yesterday to take the
sS6S 600 stock at something above its
market value, but Mr.. Carnegie held out
with his usual tenacity of purpose for a
guarantee OF the ) per cent income on his
sS6, 900 600 OF fftyyear bonds. This was
also conceded at a meeting held to-day, it
is understood.
There will be no consolidation, but
harmony through community OF interests
and ownership will be applied in the man
ufacture Of steel products OF all kinds.
..The Carnegie Company, with its vast
supplies @of coal and iron close at hand
will be the parent company to produce
the raw material for the various corpora
tions manufacturing steel products, and
the economist methods can be introduced
through harmony which win make it pos
sible for the great industrial corpora
tions to manufacture goods so cheap as
tu drive small competitors out tssof b,1sI-
ness and to give American manufactures
"a large place in the markets of the

water, perhaps twelve fest deep. They
struggled in the broken ice and water
but could not get out. Prof Messick, of

Unconscious condition, and it is feared
she will be i'll from the shock. Prof Mes
