Using His Pitchfork in the U. S. Senate

WASHINGTON, .. c., Feb. 0.-Scn-
ator Tillman, of South Carolina, crea-
ted sensation in the Senate to- day by
swearing by the Eternal God he would
not permit another pension bill to pass
the senate until justice is done an old
South Carolina veteran of the Mexican
war, who is denied pension because
he rendered aid and comfort to the
Confederate government darin & the
civil war.
Senator Chandler took exceptions to
the language Of Senator Tillman, crit
icizing the house committee on pen
sions, when the "pitch fork wie]der'
declared there is still sectionalism in
congress, and demanded to know if the
war is over yet.
owe, of the South, want to know if
the struggle is ended" shouted the
irate Senator, as he uttered oaths to
Senator Hale, of Maine, who objected
to further debate.
Senator Tillman went to Hale's desk
and swore ho would "seo them in help
before any moro pension bills should
pass, if he could prevent it.
Later he obtained the floor and re-
iterated his complaint against the
house committee and refused to be dis
ciplined by Senator Chandler.
Senator Tillman was furious and his
speech quickly drew crowd to the
galleries and all senators to the floor.
Senator Tillman demanded the re-
peal of the law preventing the pension
of veterans of the Mexican and other
wars because they rendered aid to the
Confederacy.

Delawa'0 men, but the election OF

1t is something of q question whether
the War Department will dare to sus-
tain General Macarthur in his action
of ban ishing Editor Rice for maligning
an army officer. The article on which
tho action was based has been received
in this city and contains absolutely
nothing tilut the most ardent advocate
Of Lese Majestic could consider "trea-
sonable." 1t simply criticised the ac-
tions of the port officer and charged
him with corruption-a charge punish
able, if false, as criminal libel. Sena-
tor Teller has secured the adoption of
n resolution calling on the Secretary of
War for information OH the subject.
Speaking of the matter, Mr.. Teller
said that he did not wonder that Rico
was defiant, knowing that there was no
law justifying his expulsion. IIo did
not know whether Rice's paper had
been suppressed, but he had been
credibly Informed that fo;. nowspa-
Dcrs had been suppressed in Luzon by
the military authorities. Mr.. Teller
spoke of the proceeding as one of i'm
roTtanoo 10 uii, for Mr. Rice was citi-
zen of the United States andan offence
against him was an offence against
every other citizen of this country.

South Carolina Pictures.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. G.-Prof.
Lewis is beginning collection of pho
tographs to illustrate the physical
geography and industries of South
Carolina. He would be glad to have
the cooperation of teachers and others
who may be interested in the under
taking. 1t is his purpose to prepare
lantern slides Oe q series Of typical
views; and he will be glad to exchange
either photographs or lantern slides
for characteristic views of any part of
the State, particularly such Us show
the relations of industries to geogragh-
ical conditions. Prof. Lewis would
also like to have the names and ad-
dresses of photographers whc offer
views for sale.
1t is notorious fact that, for gene
Eations past, geography has been one
of the worst taught subjects iI our
public school curicula. 1t is only
within the past decade that scientific
methods and principles have been
somewhat generally applied to the
study and teaching of this subject.
Educators are also coming to realize
more and more the fundamental i'm
portance of geography as foundation
for the best work in history, languages,
and tho "humanities" in general, as
we'll as tho sciences.
/ In this awakening revolution is be-
ing wrought in methods Of teaching.
Instead Of the empirical statement of n
vast array of facts to be memorized,
nd to be straightway forgotten. the
true teacher now appeals to the pupils
reason and understanding. In this
work the next best thing to travelling
and seeing the world itself is to see
faithful representations Of it in photo
graphs and stcreopticOn views. Thus
it can be shown graphically how the
most elementary knowledge of a region
furnishes key to the understanding
of it's physical features; and these, in
turn, account in large measure for
the geographical distribution of re-
sources and industries.
1t is this larger conception of South
Carolina that Prof. Lewis would set
before the schools of the State by the
aid of photographs and lantern alides;
and this. it is hoped, viii pave the way
for the preparation of n rational gcog-
raphy of the State for use in the
schools.
The work of geological survey, in
dealing with the knotty problems of
asse and structure. would greatly facili-
tate this undertaking in many ways,
and it is hoped that such survey may
soon be organized and put into opera

iron, standing collar, and wide turn
down collar and cuffs, are all stitched
with many rows of white COrticelli
Stitching Silk. Twenty-four rows of
the stitching are used on the collar
alone. The winter hat illustrated on
this page is of black cloth and velvet,
laid in alternate folds and decorated t
the side by soft black breasts.
Now that winter has set in in good
earnest heavy suits are in demand.
On this page is an illustration of cof-
fee brown covert cloth trimmed with
bands of tan broadcloth, edged with
fancy black braid. The warm, dou-
ble-brested coat is one Of the many
varieties of EtOns and is cut up in a
point from the waistline in the back.
Lengthwise tucks decorate the front
of the skirt, and cross bands Of the tan
broadcloth extend from the tucking
around the hem. This covert cloth is
from ~ to 38 inchs in width, and costs
from 81 to $3.50 per yard.

err lace may be used on this costume,
black velvet ribbon in place of the
thread lace, and mousseline de sole for
the chiffon, although in this instance
the latter is preferable.
Other good materials for evening
wear are crepe de Chine, peau de sole,
grenadine, Liberty satin, peau nitas,
satin fenistia, chameleon taffeta in
thrce-toned effects, pallet de sole, and
crepe crystalline silk. Wedding gowns
are generally made of white satin, from
20 to "a inches wide, and costing from
81 to S. per yard. A special weave for
bridal gowns is 4S inches wide, and
costs $3.50 per yard. ColOred satins
are cheaper, costing from 81 to $3.50
per yard.
India and japanese silks are still
much worn for waists. They are p
inches wide, and come from so to So
cents per yard. Silk already pleated
for fancy bodices and trimmings is an
attractive novelty. Tatfeta is always
popular for silk waists, which are still
worn, although the flannel Shirt-WaiSt
has taken the place for informal Oc-
casions. The black taffeta waist
shown in the illustration is good
model. The silk is tucked and made

lace over silk. The shoulder collar
is edged with ruchings of black chif-
fOn.
A pretty evening waist, suitable to
wear under coat to any place of
amusement, is also illustrated. 1t is
made of a salmon colored fancy taffeta
silk and appliqued lace over pink chif-
fon. The Elton fronts are edged with
plain, stitched bands of tatfeta. The
belt and broad collar are also of the
plain, stitched silk. The glimpse is of
lace and chiffon. A pretty idea is the
use of tiny straps of white kid with
rhinestone buckles to connect the
Elton fronts with the.broad collar.
In regard to the collars of the new
gowns it mnst be said that the French

low, turned-down collar, leaving the

we modify the French ideas to our
own liking, and, while adopting the

has been in use for SO long a

Threats to the ears for SO many years,
and are so firm in the belief that this
is the only becoming and chic form of
neckwear, that it will need more than
a Partisan rumOr to alter this cOnvic-
ton.
Another of the graceful toques worn
this winter is illustrated on page 20.
This little hat is composed of black
velvet and fancy trimming of black
chenille on white satin ground. The
style of the hat depends entirely on
the graceful twists given to the mater
ial when it is put together. The ends
and loops are all wired.
An important item not to be forgot

come in black as we'll aS cOlOrS, though
in black the Satin-faccd cloths are
decidedly preferred. Cashmeres and

which the wise woman never forgets,
and that is her comfortable kimOna,
which is SO convenient to slip on
when in negligee. The one shown in
the illustration is made of a rich red
French flannel, with the fold and yoke
in the back of red tatfeta silk. The
wide sleeves are finished with a turn
ed back fold of the silk. These kimO-
mas are easily manufactured, as they
require little fitting save at the
shoulders. 1t is well to possess two
or three kimOnaS in wash flannel for
winter wear, as they make excellent
bathrobcs and wash beautifully. Like
all negligee garments the kimona
should be reserved exclusively for the
bedroom.
A fancier wrapper is illustrated in
connection with this article. This
pretty garment is made of pink cash
mere, trimmed with fancy ribbon ano
ornamcnted with a black velvet bow
with long ends. From the fitted yoke
in the back falls a Vatican pleat. The
yoke in front is finely tucked. Side
pieces, adjusted a la bolero and con
nected with straps of the cashmere
add piquant touch to this little
gown.

coats are undoubtedly fashionable.
The newmarket illustrated is one of
the new models. 1t is of light tan mel
ton and has no OrnamentatiOn other
than rows upon rows of machine-Stitch-
ing. Forty-eight rows border the gar
ment, which, you will observe, is
slashed in panels and slopes gradually
up toward the back. The seams have
each twelve rows Of stitching, six on
each edge of the cloth. Fourteen
rows cover the wide, turned-back cuffs,
twenty-five rows ornament the upper
part of the coat, while the collar, re-
verS, and straps across the front have
each six rows. The collar is cut in two
extremely high points at the back. The
four straps which faSten the coat are
secured by a double row Of large gilt
buttons. This handsome garment is
lined with salmon pink silk and is fur
nished with capacious, shirred pock-
ct on the inside.
is the velvet Russian blouse. The one
in the picture please notice, has the
elbow sleeve, with the tucked silk I'M
der one, finished by the velvet band at
the wrist: The coat has high, wired
collar and is profuSely trimmed with
heavy black silk fancy braid.
Furs are always fashionable. Long,
| thick boaS are much worn, and large
muffs. A novelty in boas is composed
of three pieces. One strip, with head
and tails, eneircleS the neck and falls
over the shoulders, while long pieces
attached at each end drop down in
front. The mutf is big and fluffy. The
same furs that have been fashionable
for several seasons are still wOrn-the
stone marten, lynx, black fox. silver fox,
sable, seal, Persian lamb, mink, and
many others. Fur coats made in the
Elton shape are much liked.
A good rule to follow in buying the
winter outfit is to leave fancy effects
for the sO-called silly season. Buy
only few things, if your pOcket-bOOk
is limited, my dear madam, but let
these few be plain, rich, and of the
best materials. Another point: see
that all your garments are we'll made.
To this end, use the best sewing mat
erials. Corticelli Spool Silk, Button
hole Twist, and Stitching Silk always
give satisfaction. The majority of
the best dressmakerS prefer the Corfu
celli manufactures, and all will use
them if you insist on this point; for, al.
though in the beginning the Corticelll
Silks may be tritle more expensive
than others, they will prove the most
economical in the end.

than ever. The biscuit-colored We
netian cloth costume, illustrated on
this page, has one of the favorite styles
in this coat. Notice the long wasted
effect given by the dip of the jacket in
front. There is no trimming on this
strictly tailor made costume, the ella bo-
rate stitching and strapped seams
giving all the OrnamentatiOn
necessary. Two bias rutfles trim the
skirt. The sleeve is good example Of
one of the new shapes, faring over a
