b. A. LIFsEY APPOINTED.
One Republican Named to Succeed
Another at BarnesvilIe.

One Republican Named to Succeed
Another at BarnesviIIe.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE President
to-day appointed B. A, Lifsey as post
master at Barnesville to succeed the
incumbent postmaster, Harris, who
was a candidate for reappointment
This ends fight which has attracted
a good deal of attention. Mr.. Lifsey
is a well-known citizen of Barnesville,
and his son, w. V. Lifsey, who is
with the Plant System, is well known
in Savannah.
Certain Republicans have been fight
ing the nomination of Lifsey on the
ground that he was not a Republican.
Charges, which are not of a serious
nature, were filed by the friends of
Mr.. Harris against his opponent, but
after full investigation Postmaster
General Payne approved the candi-
dacy of. Lifsey. For time it looked
- E neither of these Republicans
would be named and acting on that
possibility, Judge Bartlett advocated
the nomination of w. M. Howard, a
well-known business man of the town,
who had the Endorsement of the busi-
ness men. Mr.. Howard is Demo-
crat and consented to the use of his
name only in the case the President
determined he would not name either
of the Republican candidates.
There is some talk of the opponents
of MI. Lifsey pursuing the matter fur
ther and attempting to prevent con-
firmation.

society Has settled Down at Inst

Yesterday was the first day of real
quiet since Lent began-hardly so
much as. one small party. What with
the holy season and the unholy
W Gather, even the streets seemed de-
serted. A few energetic members Of
the younger set might have been seen
srolling down town at noon, and home
again about dinner time, an arm-link-
Cd. laughing group, setting pretty
heads deiantly against the rough wind,
which came rushing around corners
and caught them up into a Stanlaw

and floating curlG. But on such days
as these society for the most part is
to be found indoors. A ribbons trung
basket or silken bag, bit of lawn
under the busy needle-in these dainty
equipments of the seamstress there is
surely magic, and the three or four
congenial friends asked in for a morn

JUDGE BENNETT WILL RETIRE.
Announces That He VIII Not BE
Candidate for Reelection.

Brunswick, Ga, Feb. 17.-Judge
Joseph w. Bennett of the Brunswick
circuit has decided that he will not
be a candidate for reelection to the
bench. His term expires at the close
of this year, but he has not decided
whether he will resign before the ex-
piration of that time or not To-day
Judge Bennett stated that his retire
ment from the bench was due solely to
matters of personal concern and that
he would leave with regrets
because Of the pleasant associations
that had surrounded his official
position. 1t is well known that Judge
Bennet has made a most excellent pre-
siding officer. and has the entire con-
fidence and esteem of the bar of this
entire circuit. 1t is also well known
that had he desired to serve again there
would have been no opposition to him.
Some time ago, however, Judge Bennett
intlmated to some of his friends that
he would probably not offer for re-
election. and since that time there
have been various rumors as to who
would be chosen to succeed him. Judge
S. 9. Atkinson is being mentioned
quite prominently, and the Brunswick
bar Will doubtless give him enthusiasts
tic and cordial support

House gowns grow more and more
picturesque and point the way to pic
ture styles for street costumes. The most
attractive evening dresses are made
made lace or chiffon skirts and Louis
XVI bodices of brocade, the shoulders
held with fichus and decked with rib
bons. fastening down the front with
diamond buttons. We have not yet ar
rived at the Watteau style of dress,
with panniers at the sides and bunch
at the back, but another season may
see this among our desires. The atten-
tion to details is the most noticeable
feature of the best of frocks, for the
headings OF lace, and the runnings of
velvet ribbons, and the tiny gaugings
of chiffon fittings all show an inn
mense amount of labor; while the fancy
for making applique trimmings of chif-
fon or of glace silk, and chiffon and
velvet combined, are exploited by the
best artistes. 1t is very difficult, in
deed, TO manipulate these garnitures,
but they show much skill when well
done, chiffon and glace being formed
into representations of flowers, while
the centers will be studded with jewels,
and the garlands of leaves which con-
meet these flowers will be of giace.
Such trimmings are to be seen on
dresses which also look welf-on chiffon
frocks-chiffon, which forever remains
popular, and makes most lovely skirts
when run by hand into tucks from
waist to knee, held either by the
adornments just mentioned, or by me-
dallions of embroidery. and frilled to
the hem with soft, bouillonnes.

United states Senate.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Nine of the wealth
lest and most influential citizens Of
Chicago have sent to the Senate of the
United States, through Senator Gull
