shviIIe.

Tenn, Oct. 19.-Fire
I az an carr, hour this morning de-
stroyed the new freight sheds of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railway, entailing a loss es-
tlmated at between $500. 600 and
100000, with a not cents insur-
ance. The loss is total, nothing
remaining but the blackened. gut
ted shell.
It is not known how much freight
was in the building. but it was all
destroyed. The loss en- freight
will be heavy.
So far no one seems to know any
thing regarding the origin Of the
flames. It had been suggested by
some that perhaps the flames re-
suited from a stove in the central
part Of the building near the i'm
mense pile of sold boss freight
stored on the second floor. It IS
claimed by railroad men that there
was no stove there, however, and
tor the present the mannerin which
the destructive blaze began is a
mystery. The FIRE was discovered
shortly before 5 o'clock this morn
ing. While the FIRE was in progress
Night Watehman Caldwell fell
through an elevator and was in
jured about the head.
The burned building, which was
one of the most complete freight
repositories in the South, will be
rebuilt at once. The freight of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and ST.
Louis Railway is now being han
died at the Louisville and Nashville
sheds.

ave are concluding a trip Of
1900 miles, which has occupied ten
days. We have crossed the State
three times, and once north and
south, visiting seventy.eight cities
and towns. At night, al the large
places. we have had two separate
meetings. The number of people
in attendance at all the meetings is
estimated at 100000. We have
gone through twenty-eight coun-
ties, being more than half Of the
counties Of the State, containing
about three-fourths of its popula-
ton.
I'VE have been received every
where with the most respectful at
tertion, and in most places with
much enthusiasm. Wherever we
had opportunity to confer with To-
cal party leaders we have heard Of
a number of Republicans who have
announced their intention TO vote
the Democratic ticket, among the
Democrats, and all those who sup
ported Mckinley are now in line
again. We believe there will be
less fraud at the ballot box than
heretofore, as the people seem to
be determined to have a fair cleo

party leaders is that the State will

SALES ABROAD AT FIGURES BE-
LOW HOME PRICES.

The Republicans try hard to find
statistics to prove that but an insig,ih-
cant proportion of manufactured goods
sold abroad are sold at redudAd prices.
They quote the speech of Secretary
Shaw In Chicago during the session of
the Republican National Convention.
In which he said:
"our opponents lay much stress upon
the fact that some American manufac-
lures are sold abroad cheaper than at
home. Our friends sometimes deny
this, and they sometimes apologize for
1t, and few. in times past, have Joined
our opponents in recommending re-
moval of the tariff from all such ar
ticles. 1t is useless to deny, and. In
my judgment, unwise to apologize and
little short of foolishness to attempt to
remedy the assumed evil in the man
ner proposed by the opposition.

Proper Colors for u Il
.S the Red-TIeadsd Girl.

It mas been asserted that the red-haired
girl who understands the art of dressing
may wear almost anything, and this
statement may be true; but with some
colors the skill of an artist is required in
order that happy result may be
achieved.
The brown-eyed, red-haired girl usual
~ possesses a clear, pale complexion.
She should wear any Of the many shades
of golden brown shading into soft
creamy tints, with even a little yellow
or bright orange cleverly introduced to
vary the mOnOtOny. Deep maroon, terra
Gotta, sky-blue and ecru may all be used
with excellent results, while, of course,
black is always considered advisable.
The blue-eyed maiden with auburn
locks and high coloring has a more diff
ficult task before her Blues and browns
are most unbecoming. and anything very
decided is apt to make such a violent
contrast that the effect is far from pleas
ing. She must learn, therefore, that soft
tints, such as mauve, fawn, and delicate
grays, will always be the colorings that
will best suit her particular style.
Perhaps the most difficult task of all in
choosing her colors appertains to the dam
sci with sandy hair. She may wear any
shade of blue, black, and white, deep
plum, and cream color. but she must shun
the yellOwS and brown, while green,
whether of a delicate or strong tint, must
, also be banished from the list of posi-
bilities.
Last of all comes the girl with auburn
locks. Her dark yet glowing hair, pale
olive complexion and deep brown or black
eyes are enough to give her strong claims
to the title of beauty, but her choice of
suitable color combinations is also most
important. Colors OF one tone are the
best for her, and she may revel in the
deep crimsons, dark, rich browns, ivory
white, or-if she must wear it--black.
Ii, however, she chooses this somber
hue she must also use q bit of white
| about her neck and wrist in order to make
a contrast and to Danish the dismal APP

Strong Language.

Fredericksburg, Ind, June 2o.-Rev.
Enoch 2. Stevens of this place uses
strong language in speaking of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and he gives good rea-
sons for what he says:
Il can't praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
too much" says Mr.. Stevens. 'They
have done me so much good. I was
troubled with my Kidneys so much
that | had to get up two or three times
in the night and sometimes in the day
when starting to the water house the
water would come from me before get
ting there. Two boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me entirely.
IT have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Fills to many people and have never
yet heard Of a failure. Dodd's Kidney
Pills are the things for Kidney Dis
ease and rheumatism
Dodds Kidney Pills always cure the
Kidneys. Good Kidneys ensure pure
blood. Pure blood means good health.

What the Chief Justice Said.

Former Assistant Atty. Gen. James NJ.
Beck told the following story the other
day Of Matt" Carpenter, the famous
Wisconsin senator. Carpenter was plead
ing case before the supreme court Be
fore he got half through with his argu-
ment the judges had made up their minds
that his case was without merit, and,
moreover, that he was unprepared. When
he finished his argument and counsel for
the other side got up to reply the judges
whispered to each other, nodded, and then
the chief justice said:
L don't think. il. will be necessary to
hear from you, sir
Carpenters opponent was very deaf,
and he could only tell that the chief JUS
tice was addressing him. He turned to
Carpenter for aid.
What did the chief justice say,
Matt| he whispered
He said he'd rather give you the case
than listen to you,' Carpenter bawled in
his ear.

ORIGIN OF A PHRASE.
"Conspicuous by Their Absence" Rests
Upon Classical Authority.

The authorship Of the significant
phrase, Conspicuous by his absence"
which has been used unnumbered times,
is in loose dispute. The London Satur-
day Review gave it to Shakespeare; the
New York Times Saturday Review de-
scribed it as "a clumsy adaptation Of
French phrase" a correspondent of the
last named review, correcting both, says
it was "really an adaptation by Lord
Brougham. I believe, Of an expression
Of Tacitus, who at the close of the third
book Of the Annals, describes the funeral
of Junia, the sister Of Brutus and wife
of Cassius, who survived her husband
and her brother for sixty-three years and
died in the reign of Tiberius. Twenty
images of her illustrious relatives or con-
nections were carried before her bier,
'sed praefulgebant Cassius atque Bru-
tus, co ipso, quod effigles eorum non
visebantur. - This writer is correct, ex-
cept as to the English adapter, and he
and the others could have found all about
it by consulting Bartlett's Dictionary OF
Familiar Quotations, where the phrase OF
Taicus is quoted from the Bohn trans
lation as follows:
'"The ina ges of twenty Of the most IL
lustrious families-the Manlii, the
Quinctii and other names of equal splen-
dor-were carried before it. Those Of
Brutus and Cassius were not displayed
but for that very ieason they shone with
pre-eminent luster."
And the expression conspicuous by
their absence was used by Lord John
Russell who attributed it to lone of the
greatest historians of antiquity.
