DeCOllete Gowns.

An interesting story is told showing
how Virginia Fair (now Mrs. William
X. Vanderbilt) happened to become
sponsor for the mode in vogue among
the lady acrobats to appear before thei
audiences in decollete gowns. 1t wa
while attending a performance of the
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Com
bined Circuses at Central Park, San
Francisco, two years ago, that Miss
Fair suggested to the Forepaugh treas
urer, who, by the way, was lifelong
friend of the late Senator Fair, that 1t
would be far more becoming and of
much greater interest if the ladies
would discard the more or less vulgar
bloomers for the ever-popular evening
gown.
1t so happened before the close of the
ten days season at the Golden Gate
City, that Miss Fair had the pleasure
of seeing her suggestions acted upon.
but she never dreamed that they woul
create so much confusion and excite
ment in the western metropolis. It
seems that the several lady acrobats
with the show, upon deciding to adopt
the evening costume, fell to discussing
the respective merits of the different
modistes, and the fact developed that
each had a favorite. In placing their
orders for fancy gowns each took spe-
cial pains to mention the fact that her
associates were having their costumes
by other modistes, and that she wish
ed, of course to have the prettiest OF
all.
Thus rivalry, keen and intense, was
created among the modistes, each OF
whom was anxious to design the most
elaborate gown. OF course, the lord
high executioner of my lady's appar-
ell divulged the secret to her friends
and asked them to be present and cheer
Justify when her patron made an ap-
pearance. In this, she had hit upon lnn
identical plan adopted by her competi-
tors. The result was that the young
lady acrobats scored the hit of their
lives. The applause once started, the
strain was taken up by the vast aud
ience and the acrobats were the lion,
of the evening. Prior to that time
their exhibition, which was replete
with difficult feats. had been lost
sight of in the wealth of equestrian,
hippodromatic and aerialistic exploits
which characterize the Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers combination.

DEFECTIVE DINING TABLES.
They Give n Man No Chance to Cross

Great Snake Story
From West Virginia.

tor Nicholson, assisted by members of
his crew, and some of the less panic
stricken passengers, dispatched the rep
tile, which measured 19 feet in length
and 25 inches in circumference and had
80 rattles. 1t is supposed that the
snake was coiled against the mountain
and angered by the passing train
sprang at it, landing through the win
dow more by accident than otherwise.
Four of the women have not yet re-
covered from the fright, and fears that
some of them may not are entertained
by the physicians in attendance. Much
discussion is going on among the men
as to what disposition that will be made
of the skin and rattles of the reptile.

Horton, w. Va, July 19.-Passengers
on the northbound train of the Dry
Fork Railway yesterday had one of the
most exciting experiences in the his
tory of mountain railroading in this
part of the state. AS the train was
slowly making it's way around curve
near an almost pTecipitious mountain
side at Carr's Camp between Harmon
and Hendricks. a huge rattlesnake
leaped through window into the
coach, almost frightening the women
and children in the train to death,
while the men were about equally anx-
ious to secure places of safety.

Governor is Now Personally Res

AppointceS.

Pierre correspOdenc3: The removal
bill which passed the senate this week
was amended in very important par
tcular after it left the house. AS it
reached the senate 1t provided merely
that the governor, after hearing, could
remove for cause such constitutional
officers as we're not subject to impeach.
lnent. 1t was in fact, an exact counter
part of the removal bill introduc i two
years ago by the same person, Mr.
Moulton, and which created such tre-
mendous commotion in the senate. The
present bill.as amended gives the gov
ernor power to remove his appointees
OF all grades, and permits him to re-
move statutary ufficers without assign
ing cause. The bill passed the house
practically unanimously In the senate,
as amended, it received the vote of
every republican but two, Mesers. Gill
more and Edgerton. Neither OF these
gentlemen has any sympathy with pop
ulism, but they voted their individual
preference. MIR. Edgerton, in speaking
OF the matter, says he voted as he did
in order to be consistent. He opposed
the bill two years ago and sees no rea-
son why he should support it now. Ia
fact he remembered that two years ago
several senators who voted for the bill
on Tuesday openly stated in caucus
which he attended two years ago that
if the removal bill passed by repu oil
can votes they would, to show their in
dignation, vscaJe their places in the
senate and go home. The bill as
amended will pass the house and then
the governor will be absolutely respon-
sible for the conduct Of his .u ubord mates
and appointees. because he Will be

any cause at his pleasure
