fair visitor. The most noticeable things
about the Bagobo of the mountains are
his 1.-the and powerful physique, his
flashing black eye, wonderfully luxuri-
ant black hair, and his sensitive, trust
full, and altogether attractive counte-
nance The most striking thing about
the bead clothes of the men and women
is the entire absence of any crude COM
binations of color and an appropriate
harmony of everything, which excites
wonder at the taste of this primitive
race.
The body of the Bagobo's clothing is
made entirely of hemp cloth woven by
themselves from the hemp grown on
their rude mountain farms. The men
wear costume which displays their
fine physique to good advantage. The
trunk trousers come about half Wav to
the knee and the short jacket f1aring
open leaves strip of bronze skin above
the waist band and the brown chest
bare to the winds.
The jackets and trousers are plenti-
fully adorned with beads and the girdle
which holds the much-prized bolo-knife
is the object of the most extensive orna-
mentation possible. Elaborate neck
laces CT beads are worn and bands of
beads about the legs below the knees.
Beads strung on the branches of black
sea coral are worn in the hair, and the
combs of the women are hung with long
strings Of beads. The turbans of the
men, which designate by their color the
number of enemies slain in battle, are
also decorated with beads The men
and women both wear anklets and
Bracelets of copper. to which are at
tached bells of the sleighbell pattern
fashioned out of a tin and copper compo-
Fition.
:, These bells are also worn in profusion
. about the clothing of the women and at
cached to the belt girdles of the men, and
the broad girdles, something on the ma
ture of primitive corset, which the
women wear.
T.. The bells are manufactured from
metal purchased from the Chinese mer-
shants who trade along the coast. and a
clay mold which has been baked about
awax model is used. The hot metal is
poured into this and the mold IS de-
stroyed and the clay picked from the in

Increased Assessment.

Household and Office furniture repre-
sents one-twelfth of the aggregate per
sonal valuation for the state in the
composite opinion of the county asses
sors and county boards of equalization,
as shown in the schedules presented to
the state board of equalization. The
gross amount at which household and
Office furniture was retur ned in these
schedules was $12, 500. 900, and to that
the state board added A. per cent, OF
SIS, 345, 900, which is an increase of g..
AS, FOG over the aggregate assessment
of last year for this class of property as
it was left by the state board: The
figures of last year were $13, 252, 2e4.

who wanted to unburden himself of
something that was heavy on his mind:

HOUSE HAD FAMOUS GUESTS.
Of the Allegheny Noun
tains.

The Girard hotel, of Brownsville, the
oldest hotel in the United States west
of the Allegheny mountains, and which
has been in continuous service, furnish
ing entertainment for man beast for
over 100 years, was lately sold by the
sheriff of Fayette county to satisfy
mortgage, reports the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
While not the first hotel built this
side of the Alleghenies, the Girard is
without doubt the oldest in point of serv-
ice. 1t was built in 1900, and just four
years ago this summer celebrated the
centennial of it's establishment In the
more than a century that has passed
since it was first erected the hotel has
hands frequently, but has always been
favorite place for travellers to stop.
In the old days of the National Pike
it was famous hostelry. Brownsville
was then the head of navigation on the
Monongahela. river. The only route
from Washington and Baltimore to all
the vast domain that lies west of the
ASAOAOA6oACAd 14EOA V0AlCy was Iu4Ou6u
Brownsville At least that was the d.
rect road, and one of the most travelled.
Governors, senators, congressman and
travellers of every kind and description
journeyed that way and made the old
Girard house their stopping place. An
drew Jackson was a guest there. So
was Henry Clay. Gen. Lafayette was
entertained at the Girard, and a host of
| others whose names are, familiar in
American history. Jackson was fire.
quent guest at the house, and always in
sisted on having the best Monongahela
rye whiskey the valley could produce.
1t is related of him that on one of his
trips over the pike he suffered sprained
angle and put up at the Girard for re-
pairs The BROWNSVILLE physician called
to attend him undertook to battle the
injured ankle with whisky, to which
"Old Hickory" vigorously objected. AL
though the medical man had his way,
the hero of New Orleans insisted that the
use of the remedy internally would do
more good and save sacrilege.
OF late years the management of the
old house has been so successful, and
It may soon make way for modern i'm
provements.

BUTTONS AMI MEDAlLi oNS1
Will Be Dominant In the trimmings
ST. q Modish Costumes
#sz for Fall. 5...s

Though it is coming fall and one looks
for all new modes there are many old
ones that still hold their sway and grow.
If possible, stronger with the seasons.
One of these is the button vogue and the
other is the vogue for medallions, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. -. -
In buttons there is greater variety
than ever. They come larger and more
elegant, costing prices that ought to buy
a gown. In the other extreme there are
buttons that are very small, but made Of
very nice material, and these are used
abundantly for trimming purposes. Lit
tie brass buttons are used to trim a Cir
die; little brass buttons are employed
upon stock; small buttons Of blue and
white are used for vest and jacket trim
mings and buttons that are extremely
beautiful decorate street blousess and
walking gowns. The l1andsomest of the
new buttons are made of three or four
materials, showing, frequently, a ,f1ligree
over gold or over silver. And others are
made of different colored stones, all in
set, while still others are of metal, with
designs set with precious stones.
The silk buttons and the hand-painted
buttons and the buttons that are covered
with the dress goods are all very much
used and, since they are inexpensive,
as well as beautiful, they are becoming
fast favorites.
One very charming button is the but
ton of white silk painted, with a flower.
This makes handsome decoration for
calling dress and it is button that can
be used upon gowns of even nicer des-
tination
For nice evening waists, the hand
painted button is set in a little rim OF
Valenciennes lace, shirred and gathered
around the button. Again one sees the
button set in the middle of rosette rib
bon. Either way it is very pretty.
T" Lace medallions will be employed as
numerously as ever, but there will be-
more method in their madness than for
merly. Once upon time anything went
in the medallion line.
In these days, and during the coming
season, the medallion trimming must be-
well ordered affair, arranged system
atically and with view to completed
design. One very pretty method shows
row OF circular pieces of lace, arranged
across the bust of bodice with narrow
strips of lace connecting them,

A Violin Town,

A huge timber wolf menaced the
lives OF scores of people in the train
shed of the Union station, Minneapo-
lis, and was finally killed witha coup
ling pin after a hand-to-hand struggle.
The animal ran swiftly in the wake
OF a passenger train and. was not no.
ticed until it had entered the shed.
There was a crowd clustered around
the coaches, when suddenly the wolf
appeared it its midst.
A panic was created in an instant.
Women screamed, children yelled and
the men were too astounded to act.
Everyone rushed towards the gates,
while the wolf, it's wicked mouth wide
open and it's long tongue hanging out,
scampered up and down the lenclosure,
In and out among the scurrying pas
sengers
Then from the end of the shed a
small colored man, William Hines, 21a
Nicolett avenue, threw a rock which
grazed the animals head. A few Sc
conds later Hines saw two coupling
pins lying close to the track just out
side OF the canopy and, picking one up,
he hurled it at the animal.
The missile caught the animal in the
side and with a yelp of ,pain and rage
it charged its assailent,
Hines hurriedly seized the other pin
and as the wolf jumped at him, hit it q
glancing blow on the head. The animal
managed to seize Hines by the left
hand, but was soon beaten to death
with the weapon of iron, not, however
until the gloves which the negro had
worn were tore to shreds and his hands
and face badly lacerated.
The man had a dog with him but he
refused to attack the wolf.
