WooIen Grapes.

An original idea on hat of dull
green zibeline felt is a trimming OF
wooden grapes in about the same col
or, with dull-green leaves. These are
used with scarf of pale-blue mousse
line de sole.
A good many hats are trimmed with
plumes OF mixed colors, and the shad-
ed. feathers, too, are fashionable. A
capeline of heavy white lace has the
edge of the broad brim finished with
petit girls and band of the same fur
on the shallow crown. On one side is
a chou of black velvet holding clus-
ter of gray feathers shading to black
on the tips and edges. The feathers
and there is lot of them--fall off the
hat brim, making a becoming back
ground to the face.-New York Trib-
une.

SCAVENGER TAX.
Decision Affecting the Law In South
. Dakota.


. Dakota.
Judge Jones, of the circuit court for
Minnehaha county, has rendered a de-
clslon OF Importance in a case which
was the outgrowth of what is known
rs the 'scavenger tax law, passed by
the legislature at its last session. At
the scayenger tax safe the authorities
OF Minnehaha county bought in for the
county some property, paying the face
value, there being no bidders for the
tracts covered by the delinquent tax
es. 0. S. Pendar purchased one of
the tracts, paying the county 80 per
cent OF the face of the taxes. The
land was owned by e. A. Sherman be-
Tore the county purchased the tax title
sherman went to Pendar for the pur.
pose of redeeming the property. offer.
ing him the same price he had paid
the county, with interest on his mon.
ey added. Pendar refused to sell at
less than the face value of the taxes
demanding dollar for dollar. Sherman
then instituted mandamus proceedings
for the purpose Of compelling Pendar
to accept the 80 per cent In his de.
cision, Judge Jones holds that the
county has no right to sell taxes to a
third party for less than theip face val
ue. He refused the mandamus, which
makes it incumbent upon the county
to redeem the property in question
from Pendar.

CARRIED EVERY COUNTY.
Returns Indicate that Every County
Went Republican.

Practically complete returns from
every county in the state, on vote for
governor, are given below. In most
cases the returns are practically com.
plete, and in many cases official. In
others only the plurality was secured,
and in few counties the correspond
ents merely sent estimates.
The figures make surprising show
ing. 1t appears, as will be seen by the
table printed below, that the Republi-
cans carried every county in the state.
The total plurality, to date, is 24,32S.
The prospect is that complete returns
will just about reach the % 900 mark.
Minnehaha county stands first in the
size of the Republican plurality, and
Lawrence county is first in the total
Republican vote, and hence will have
the largest vote in the Republican
state convention, beating out Minneha-
ha by five delegates.
The table is given herewith:

PLAY FOR RAYALTY.
Theatrical Performance the Growing
Event of Emperor's Visit.


Event of Emperor's Visit.
Sandringham, Eng, Nov. II. - The
theatrical performance given at Sand
bingham house was the GROWING
event of the German emperor's visit
to England. Sir Henry Irving and his
company made a record journey from
Belfast, Ireland. Arthur Bourchier,
with his company, made a journey
under similar conditions from London.
The invited guests began TO assemble
at $3.50 o'clock in the theater, which
had accommodation for $50 persons.
At $50 o'clock the strains of the ma
tional anthem, played by the orches-
ira, announced the coming of the king
and queen, the German emperor and
the prince of Wales. The curtain rose
at 10 o'clock on Conan Doyle's one
act drama, "A Story of Waterloo"
Sir Henry Irving, Lionel Belmore,
BENJAMIN Webster and Mabel Hack
ney sustaining the principal parts.
The scene within the theater was OF
the most brilliant description, and the
members of the royal party displayed
their appreciation of the acting in a
very marked manner. At the end or
this piece there was an interval Of a
quarter of an hour, but none of the
spectators left the theater. Arthur
Bourchier, assisted by Gerald Biron,
H. B. Warner and Violet Van Brugh,
then presented Leo Trever's play
Doctor Johnson" the audience again
applauding heartily. The monarchs
were delighted at the manner in
which everything had been carried
out. King Edward said 1t was one OF
the finest performances that had ever
been given at Sandringham house.
