being known as the toilette de recep-
ton.
Valenciennes is having revival in
favor and forms pretty dainty finish to
the frills of plisse mGsline which have
certainly become feature of almost
every frock.
Silk cords and taffeta strapping appear
on many of the cloth frocks; taffeta and
cloth strappings intermingle admirably
Wolfe, from the heaviest makes of rough
canvas to the finest silky mixtures, will
be feature of the smart frocks.
A charming gown of vieux rose wolfe
is trimmed with taffeta and piped with
velvet of a deeper tone. The skirt is
gathered at the waist about four inches
deep, and then come insertions OF
closely-pleated taffeta bound on either
side with strappings and velvet piping.
Near the hem of the skirt are some
tiny flounces. The bodice pouches over
a prettily swathed taffeta band and
shows vest and deep cuffs of coarse
Irish crochet in dead white shade.
There are touches of velvet on these
cuffs, and little double collar of the
same fabric is particularly becoming
near the face.
Many of the summary frocks have a
touch of velvet somewhere, and this is a
feature of the early summer wraps.

think it is generally and universally
recognized that velvet, as long as tits not
overdone so that it becomes heavy,
softens nearly all fabrics, and especially
hats. I always like band of velvet just
binding the brim of the Breton sailor;
where black is too heavy dark shade
to correspond in tone with the straw may
be used. ELLEN OsMoNDE

FASHION NOTESfromPARIS

ers, and fancy embroideries, and dainty
little finishing touches in vests and
sleeves are shown by the introduction OF
plaid ribbons, taffeta rouchings, and
some beautiful old muslin embroideries
with plisse muslin frills to give the nee
essary softness. Coutuvieres here antic-
ipate far into the season the use Of nous
seine velours as finishing touch to
collars, vests, boleros, toilettes de re-
ception, and to many of the wraps and
pelerines. Velvet is also used for pip
ings on the taffeta frock, and few of us
care to dispense with this finishing touch
of softness and general becomingness.
It is the same in head-gear. Some OF
the hardest Breton sailors are rendered
becoming to the face beneath by an inner
bandeau of velvet on the hair, and an
edging of velvet on the brim.
Many of the new wolfe frocks are fin
ished by a draped band of suede in vari-
GUS colors. Taffeta bands, too, are much
used, finished with quaint little rosettes,
boned and beautifully shaped. There is
q new shade of wallfower velvet, which
color is also being produced in shaded
taffetas; it is really very beautiful, and is
made up with some exquisite guipures.
Most effective were these toilettes with
toques of wallflowers in many charming
tones, draped with brown lace wells, and
worn with fiat stoles of velours with
sable edging and chiffon ruches.
These wallfower tones show that
brown and yellow are still prevalent
among our leading costumieres.
l have seen some charming tailor
made costumes in black and white shep-
herds plaid, with delightfully."- strong
note of cerise introduced in the vest and
at the neck, with straw toques of the
same bright shade.
Some of the most effective big picture
hats are made of black guipure edged
with velours and adorned with one long
plume wound right round the brim and
falling on to the shoulder. This plume
is so carled that it looks like a double
feather ruche.
Some of the hats are worn right on
the face, and others are pulled well
down over the eyes. But the Partisan
mondaine is wonderful. She can get
equally becoming effects in whatever
manner she arrarges her chapeau, and
although many milliners over here are
faithfully reproducing the elongated
toque, the very newest chapeau is square
and wide, and there is great fancy for
two enormous choux over the ears.

instance, the deep, coarse
lace fiounces joined, by delightful tuck
ings or queer trimmings, to a founoa-
ton of pastel or ivory white cloth, and
the wonderful blouse-like bodice with
horizontal lines of crochet pouching over
beautiful, swathed kid band, and
dainty yoke of embroidered lawn, with
the long-fitting shoulder and frills of
pleated muslin down the front of the
bodice, with some quaint jewelled but
tons, go to make up an apparently SIM
pie and very charming race frock.
Sleeves are in themselves very COM
pick study. In the tailor-made costumes
they are, of course, long, but in the smart
toilettes from Paris I notice that the
sleeves come only just below the elbow,
being worn with long gloves. These ell
bow sleeves and gloves, therefore, are
a feature of the season frocks and gar
den party gowns in muslin and ethereal
fabrics.
The tailor-made and the reception
frock are distinct creations. Indeed, at
the moment they represent entirely diff
ferent periods of fashion. The afternoon
gown of taffeta or muslin is as elaborate
as the smart tailor-made is severe. The
latter shows a practical neat skirt,
braided bolero, and dainty vest, while
the toilette de reception consists Of gaug-
ings, pleatings, insertions, frills and ev-
cry possible form of trimming, the ap-
parently simple effects being arrived at
by the great amount of hand-work which
appears on everything that is worthy OF

Fitz- hugh, Democrat, for County Judge of Hot Spring County. D. B. Joplin, Republican, was elect ed Sheriff of Polk County, and John Hill, Republican, was elect ed Sheriff of Lawrence County. It is also claimed that John A.. Dudgeon, Republican, was elect ed Sheriff of Clay County.
 Wm. Thompson, Republican, was elected Representative from Polk County, and a Republican Representative was elected in Van Buren County, w. R. Paine, of Bee Branch. Hunt, Republi- can, was elected Treasurer of Yell County. The vote for Davis and Myers at Philadelphia, was a tie. Myers carried Harrison, Dermott, Siloam Springs, Port land, Mammoth Spring, Gray cite, Rogers, Eureka Springs, Knobel, Parkdale, Gentry and several other towns and cities by large majorities over Davis.

community? He should not. Why should the Great Father at Washington" as the Indians call him, be permitted to election ger among the colored voters of the north by appointing black postmasters in the south against the wishes of patrons of office? He should not. And yet all these things are openly and notoriously done today. The election of postmasters by the people whom they are to serve will harmonize with democratic principles; it is consistent with the doctrine of local self government. What ob- jection can be raised to it? Can a president know the aspirants more intimately than the com munity and be better judges of their qualifications? Is he more interested sthan the community in prompt, honest and efficient service? By leaving the appoint ment, the removal, and rejection for cause in the hands of the pres ident but by restricting appoint ments to a list furnished by the community, the rights and inter- ests of both the federal govern ment and the various communi- ties can be protected. President and congressman will then run on their own merits and not on the machines which they built up; the public service will be improved and communities will be protected from the impositions that are now practiced upon them.

PFEIFFER'S SEC-
 OND QUARRY.

The Pfeiffer Stone Company is pushing work rapidly on it's sec ond quarry on the Null farm, three miles north of town, says the Batesville Guard. Two immense pine logs, sixty-fve feet long and more than two feet thick, shipped here from Beau mont, Tex, and designed for the construction of derricks, were hauled to the quarry yesterday. The Dalhoff Construction Com- pany began work yesterday with a large force of men and teams in grading the switch to this quar- ry. It is three quarters of a mile long and is under contract to be finished in twenty days. Four more saw-gangs are to be added to the quarry plant, and within thirty days the Pfeiffer Company will be turning out quantities of sawed stone quite sufficient to meet all the requirements of the State Capitol, and more.

COMPLIMENTARY DANCE.

One of the most enjoyable and elaborate dances this summer was given by Mr. and Mrs. H. Bernstein on Friday evening complimentary to the young la dies and gentlemen who are soon to leave to resume their studies in the different colleges.
 The dining room in the Hazel, which is the largest in the city, is we'll arranged, and is one of the best places for such social functions.
 The young ladies and their es- corts were chaperoned by MT. and Mrs. Woodson.
 The music was excellent, and the dancers enjoyed the grand march, which was led by Sprigg Foushee and Miss Jamie Irby in the early part of the evening with the waltzes and two-steps later.
 The list was composed of the following young people.
 Messrs. and Misses Claude Err win, Bessie E. L. Watson, Dr. Ira Erwin, Lou Minor, Jos. M. Berger, Mary Laird, A. Arndt, Sue Armstrong, E. c.

Augusta, Ark, Sept. 10. The official vote of Woodruff county: Governor Davis 1,488. Myers 334. Penrose 21, Wilmans 20; for amendment No. g 531, against 631. The county also went for license. The town of McCrory and De View Township gave majority for license the first time in years, and the prob abilities are that there will be two saloons in McCrory next year. This result is claimed by the Prohibitionists to be the di- rect effect of the election com missioners failing to furnish suf- ficient election tickets for the ac- commodation of the voters on the day of election.

CHILD BURNED
 AT DENMARK.

Denmark, Sept. 8, "A very sad accident occurred here last Thursday. Little Unice Alexan- der, the little four-year-old daughter of Frank Alexander of this place, caught fire some way while alone in the house and was so badly burned when her moth CT found her that she died a few hours later. She had prompt and efficient medical attention and all that loving parents and friends could do to save or ease her, but to no avail. It is hard to give her up we know, but trust her parents say, Gods will be done." We join their many friends in offering our sympathy to them in this their dark hour of sadness.
