CHIEF MAID OF HONOR.

Miss Louisiana Gibson, says The New Orleans TimesDemocrat, has been ap- pointed by General John B. Gordon chief maid of honor for the Confederate reun- ion to be held at New Orleans. Miss Gibson is a typical Southern beauty. An interesting story Is connected With her name, Louisiana. She is the daugh- ter of Colonel Tobias Gibson and niece Of Colonel Hart Gibson. both Confederate officers and influential Kentuckians. also niece of General Randall Gibson. late United States Senator from Louisiana. Six Gibson brothers enlisted in the Con- federate service as prlvateS ana came out officers.
 The Gibsons, the McKinleys, the Pres tons, the Breckinridges, the Harts and Shelbys are closely related American families, members of which have been conspicuous not only for courage on the battlefield. but In public life, from Colo nial and Revolutionary times to the pres ent day, and as statesmen, governors and brilliant jurists.
 After the Louisiana purchase in 1sGa. brought about by Mr. Livingston in Paris, John c. Breckinridge, Attorney General. and Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States. John c. Breckin- ridge came to make visit 10 spring Hill the home of his relatives. the Harts. in Woodford County, Kentucky. While hs was there child was born to Susan na Preston Hart and MT. Breckinridge was given the honor of naming the little girl "I will call her Louisiana In com memoration of my greatest achievement, said he and Mrs. Hart replied. T will add Breckinridge in honor of my favor ite cousin"
 Afterward little Louisiana Breckinridge Hart became the wife of Hon. Tobias Gibson. Sr, of Louisiana, and the mother of Colonel Tobias Gibson, Jr., of Lexing- ton. Ky, who gave his daughter the pretty and significant name of her grand mother.
 It is, therefore, peculiarly appropriate that Miss Louisiana Breckinridge Gibson should be chosen chief maid of honor for the New Orleans reunion, having many untahle relatives in New Orleans an1 Louisiana. and, in fact, throughout the entire South.
 She is a Blue Grass beauty and belle. of the purest blond type. tall and grace full with dignity of bearing which seems a birthriGht.
 A woman in English society says that A crusade against bridge" is being start ed. This game has of late monopolized all the time both in London and in coun- fry houses Music. conversation and games are all neglected. says this woman. Even young girls with light purses are seen knitting their brows or stiffening their pretty faces over the intricacies of bridge. The qualities that make a good gambler do not go to the making of an ideal woman. Let any one notice the pre- vailinR expression on the faces around the tables in a gaming house; the habi- ines have greed and sefishness indelibly stamped on every line of their feature.

A prominent Philadelphia business

and as q memento Of a jolly little dinner
scratched his initials on 1t just over TIE
feathered head. while on the cheek he
added those Of the hotel. Until 1896
he treasured the coin. then drew 1t out Of
his pocket with handful of other change
and before he realized 1t the cent piece
had gone the mysterious way of all
money. A year ago he CHANGED. being

'Oh," said the beggar. 'T don't get 20
much. That's all I've got in the last
hour" And he held up q cent piece.
At that moment the electric light fell
upon the coin and the business man. to
his amazement, caught sight Of the let

RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS.

Where a debtor executes a note and
mortgage for loan of money at \
lawful rate of interest and at its
maturity enters into a new contract
with the lender for a further extern
sion of the loan which is tainted with
the vice of usury, and the lender by
agreement retains the note and mort
gage as collateral security to the
usurious contract, it is held, in Chi
cago Lumber Co. VS.. Bancroft CNebD,
81 l.. r. A. $40, that, in a suit to en-
force the mortgage security, the
lender is restricted in his recovery to
the amount due on the indebtedness
at the time of making the usurious
contract, after which all interest is,
by force of the statute forfeited.
Substantial damages are held, in
