wben onions Are odorIesa.

How many times has every fiat
dweller entered his home only to cry
out in disgust because the odor of
the onion or the turnip or something
else has permeated the entire six or
seven rooms?
Lets stop having such things for
dinner" he suggests to his wife.
why it's notifying to invite a friend
to dine when one knows this sort Of
atmosphere is going to knock him
down as soon as he enters the door"
AS a matter of fact, there is no need
for excluding the onion or the other
offending eatables. The simplest way
in the world to solve the difficulty is
this: Have the cook put into the
cooking vessel with your onions just
a piece of stale bread about as big
as your fist. Somehow or other the
bread absorbs the odors, and you
don't know onions are on your menu
until you sit down at the table.

A New Ornament.

The piquet is the name given to the
spruce little bunch of flowers or small
fruit which is somewhat stifiy tied
up, to stand sentinel on the little
spring walking hats. The piquet is
usually placed to the left of front;
but as there are left-handed and right
handed peopla, so there r women or
girls to whom hat trimmings are most
becoming when poised at the right
side than on the left. In such a case
the piquet of a lady's slippers, stocks
or foxgloves may be mentioned to
the right of the front, besides the
crown. The piquet stands erect and
is supposed to be something of an al
Grette or pompon made of flowers
instead of feathers.

Little Change in White Goods.

In plain white goods there is little
change from last year, aside from the
fact that thin airy things will have
the place of honor. Plain and en-
%broidered linens from very sheer TO
very coarse weaves will be used for
gowns and shirt-waist suits. There
are several varieties of cotton eta
mines and mereerized materials OF
many descriptions. Without hesita-
ton one may buy dimities, French
and Partisan lawns, wash chiffons,
silk muslin and English nainsook;
while embroidered swisses in vari-
ous-sized dots, in stripes OF in floral
designs. are better style than for
many years past.

narrow hat they must surely have
been constructed with the idea of de-
tense in mind. Were it possible to
forecast the rapid development of
cities or to predict which Of our many
cities is to become a metropolis the
problem might not be such a difficult
one, but such, unfortunately, is not
the case. Even the most vivid imagi-
nation would scarcely have been able
to predict the enormous increase OF
population and the consequent archi-
tectural development of modern cities.
The rapid growth of American cities
is well known, but few realize that
the older cities of Europe have had
a similar experience. The recent in
crease in Berlin has exceeded that
of Chicago, and what is true of Ber-
lin is rue of many other European
c~enters. 1t is, then, not surprising TO

Prior to the year 1896 only wooden
buildings were erected in Norway and
the art of building and artistically
adjoining dwelling houses, viking halls
and heather temples attained a high
degree Of development. The temples
were all demolished at the introduc-

petty kings and influential families,
in their numerous feuds, frequently
burned each others houses, to say

Oct. s.-(Special. )--The Democratic Convention of the Ninth Judicial Circuit was called to order in the city hall in Attalla at ? p. m, in pursuance of instructions from State Executive Committee, to nominate can- didates for Judge and Solicitor by John R. Proctor of Jackson, who named Hugh H. White of Cherokee and w. A. Weaver of Blount as tenn porary Chairman and Secretary.
 On motion of Juose Bradford of Cherokee. a Committee of one from each County was named on credentials and order of business. and after It's re- port the temporary organization was made permanent.
 When nominations for Judge were called for Judge J. A. Bilbro in a splendid speech, withdrew from the race and presented the name of his op- ponent. Hon. w. w. Haraison, whose nomination was made by exclamation. Mir. Haralson was presented to the convention and accepted the honor in q short talk.
 Nominations for Solicitor were next in order. Hon. J. A. Inzer withdrew and placed in nomination Hon. R. c. Hunt of DeKalb. Hon. E. O. McCord oI harShait WitHuFeW ana secOnueu the nomination, which was unanimously made and MT. Hunt accepted.
 The following resolution was unan- tmously passed:
 Whereas, Hon. James A. Bilbro and Hon. John A. Inzer of Etowah were the Democratic nominees for Judge and Solicitor respectively of the new Ninth Judicial Circuit, and whereas, they have been defeated of election by the failure of the Lusk bill, under which the new Ninth was created. therefore, be 1t resolved, by the Democratic con- vention of the Ninth Judicial Circuit that in the re~enactment of the Lusk bill or a similar bill by the LegisIa- ture, we endorse and recommend to the Governor of Alabama for appoint ment, Hon.

 The Story of Or. Amasior.
 Last February a story which on its face presented difficulties of confirmat ion was grought into the Eagle office which purported to be a statement of the experiences of Dr. Amador, a con- spirator of Panama, who subsequently became the head of the junta of Pana- ma. This story was that in the process oftheir conspiracy they had come against certain forces which refused to enter in unless they were assured of the support of the United States government Dr. Amador came to this country to gain that assurance From the moment of his arrival until his de- parture he was shadowed by pinkerton detectives in the interest of the Colom- bia government. It is asserted that heno only visited the State Department, but that he secured leters which assured those forces in Panama of the support of this government and made complete the success of the conspiracy. These letters he carried back to Panama with him, though he nearly lost them at his hotel in New York by laylng the pock- etbook which contained them on the table in the dining room and going to take his cab to the steamer. But he recovered them.

 There is little to be said about politics in Mississippi" continued Gov ernor Harrison. We are all of one faith and one mind in our State. Senator Money will be reelected to the United States Seante. The fact Is, in Mis- sissippi, we have reached the point where we rarely ever have contests for places when a good man wants to re- turn to the ofiice he is holding. It Is of interest to know that a son of Sefla- tor Money Is the Democratic nominee for delegate to Congress from Arizona and that the Senator's son-in-law, MT. Hill, will be elected to Congress from our State. Mississippi is prosperous and our people are contented. We hope to see Democratic success in November"
