NEGRO COCAINE FIENOS.

(New Orleans Dispatch.)
It has been learned that cocaine. as
well as whiskey, was peddled by
whiskey pirare-ship Hazel whose skip

on the Mississippi river, charged with
shooting the Sheriff anu other citizens
of Chcot county. Ark. In his defence.
Hull explains that he did not introduc.

The newest gloves for small girls are
in white wash leather, with lap seams
double stitched. These have a very
solid and almost bOyish look, and the
somewhat high price of them is atoned
by the fact that they are so easily
cleaned. For the ablution the child
puts on the gloves, which are fastened
to the last button; thus held in shape,
a well soaped brush and warm water
does the rest. A point of supremest
Importance is that the gloves are dried
