Human Hand AZ Evidence.

Representative Brown of Wisconsin
last week received in his mail q
human hand. carefully rolled up in
cotton and neatly packed. 1t was
something of a shock when, upon
opening the package in the expecta-
ton of finding Christmas present,
the grewsome relic was disclosed. A
letter accompanying the package
threw light on what promised to be
mystery. An old soldier in Mr..
Browns district was wounded during
the civil war, and a few years ago the
amputation of his hand became neces-
sary. He had carefully preserved 1t
in alcohol, and now has sent 1t to his
congressman In Washington to bs
used as evidence in a pension case.

DIR. Milburn, the blind chaplain OF
the United States senate, who has re-
signed, being now in his eightieth

allow a session to be opened without

Emperor pIscouraaes Women.

Emperor William has informed the
Princess Salm Hostmar and several
other ladies of his court that they
are not fitted to fight vice or elevate
the social conditions of the cities. The
noble women had formed an anti-vice
society in Berlin and the emperor.

roundings, undertake to successfully
fight the evil?"

The reception to Admiral Dewey on
his arrival at San Juan, Porto Rico,
was a tremendous success. The parade
which he led with the naval officers
was an imposing spectacle. There
was an immense crowd of spectators.
Later there was an official reception
at the palace. The admiral and Gov.
Hunt received the various officials and
citizens generally, who greeted them
enthusiastically. The admiral ex-

FItzssraId's Millinery Trade.

The millinery trade of Fitzger-
aid has never been so satisfactory
OR perhaps half so large as the
present season. This seems to
be one line of business in which
competition, together with prin-
ter's ink, is the life of the trdae.
The local trade has not only been
remarkably good but a large
amount of business has been done
with out-of-town customers
people living in surrounding
towns.
Mr.. S. w. Jones added the
millinery feature to his line, en-
ployed an expert milliner and
rushed" the trade.
Miss Whittier, proprietor of
the Bazaar, bought an unusually
large stock and imported one of
the best trimmers to be had, en-
ployed considerable additional
help, making millinery the most
important feature of her bust
ness.
Misses Killingsworth & Rish,
who had bought out Miss B.
Graham's stock early in the sea-
son, went into the market and
spent several weeks in selecting
a beautiful line and studying the
latest styles, put in one of the
best stocks ever seen in this Sec
ton, from which they have sup
piled very large trade, necesi-
tating the employment of sever
al expert assistants and who have
found it necessary to work
night and day to supply the I'M
precedented demand for their
goods.
Miss Lilly Rose, buying the
stock of Miss M. Carpenter &
Co., consolidated it with the stock
she was carrying, with the result
that she has practically sold both.
In addition to these Mrs.
Graves, Mrs. Fields, Wilcox &
Dorminey and l. Goodman have
all had a nice trade in millinery.
With so many stocks to select
from and so many interested in
the trade and with the columns
of the Enterprise so freely used
to advertise the business, No
wonder the trade has been more
than satisfactory.
