In Burma the Inhabitants have n
novel form of the sport that elsewhere
is commonly called tug of war. In the
Burmese game there is rain party
and a drought party, which pull one
against the other. the victory of either
party being considered to have imme
date results as regards the weather.
The drought party. however, obtains
few victories, for the kind of weather
1t represents is commonly not so much
desired as rain. In the face. therefore,
of strong public opinion the rain
party is nearly always allowed to win,
the palpable "roping" in the popular
notion being generally followed by a

Autumn N Hats.

The high crowned hats seen occasion
ally during the summer did not meet
with much favor, but It is said that an
effort Will be made to push them for
autumn wear. Those already worn have
crowns from four to five inches high
and not much wider across the top and
were somewhat trying to many unless
wreathed with plumes. A very wide
brim invariably accompanied them.
The small toques are also promised for
the autumn and the winter, and well
come indeed will they be to the great
majority, for they are generally more
becoming and also more easily adjust
ed, as well as more comfortable, than
the large hats.

War on Disreputable Houses.
Especial to News and observer)

Asheville, N. c., Oct 3.-The police
officers of this city have for several days
been wagng unrelenting war upon bawdy
houses and other disreputable places Last
week the keeper of an assignation house
was arrested and four occupants. The
woman was fined $50 and costs, and the
other four each $15. Judge Jones stated
that in every case of this character he
would give the defendant the full penalty
of the law; that the keeping of an assig
nation house was the worst sort of vice.
Several other houses have since been
raided and the keepers and occupants
fined. Saturday night wholesale raid
was made on house in the railroad sec
ton, kept by Laura Snider. The woman
and seven occupants of the house at the
time the raid was made were arrested
and tried in police court this morning.
1t has often been stated that a police
judge had no power to fine men and wo-
men who were found in house of disre-
pute, but that Judge Jones is giving such
defendants who appear before him heavy
fines is an undisputed fact, and in every
instance the fines are paid without aa
appeal.
