Lantern, Nov. II: DR.. w. C. White
of Yorkville, was in the city Wednes-
day evening on professional business
and spent the night with his brother,
Mr.. ]. G. l.. White, near town.. Mr..
Ross Dye, one of the oldest and most
respected citizens of the Rossville sec
ton, died at his home early yesterday
morning. His death was not unexpect-
ed. as for weeks his friends and loved
ones had known that they must give
him up. Mr.. Dye was in the seventy
eighth year of his age. He was always
a true and conscientious citizen, dis
charging the duties laid upon him,
whatever they might be. When the
came one Of the southland's defenders,
and he made the same fair record in
war as he ever did in peace. Mr.. Dye
reared a large family Of sons and
daughters, all of whom with their
mother, survive to mourn their aged
fathers loss. OF these sons and
daughters, the following live at or
near the old homestead: ]. Weldon,
Mrs. Minnie Dixon, Thomas E., Frank,
Major E., Miss Emma, Mrs. w. S.
Keistler, w. GLADDEN. and Miss Nealie
Dye, while Prof. James Dye has charge
of the public school at Whitmire.
On last Sabbath Rev. ]. H. Wilson Of
Fort Lawn, who has been pastor Of
Fishing Creek for several years, offer
ed his resignation to take effect the
first of January. ..~ Married, at the

Kee Wednesday evening, Nov. twenty
ninth. nineteen hundred and five, at
two o'clock, at home, Rodman, South
Carolina. .... Miss Mary Moore Of
Yorkville, who has been spending sew
eral days with Miss Mary Lyles, went
home this morning.. The report
of the grand jury, which we have been
compelled to omit because of lack of
space, is without special interest un-
less it be of interest to the people Of
the county to know that all of the va
rious offices and county institutions
have been examined and found to be
in good working order. Mr.. Jas. Nc
Larnon, who was employed by the
grand jury as an expert accountant to
examine the books of the various
county offices filed an exhaustive re-
port, setting forth the exact status of
each office and official. A careful ex-
animation resulted in his finding that
the books are carefully kept in each
office

Long creek trestle by freight train
Wednesday evening about o'clock.
He was about Seventy-nine years OF
age, and had been visiting around

His home was with Rev. w. b. Nc

the trestle with down-grade speed.

ming the cloth coat and suits. Braid
ing has, to a great extent, taken the
place of the stitched. seton bands.
The elaborate method of trimming with
bands alone is seen but rarely this sea-
son; when bands are used they are In
combination with braid. Fringe will
be used to trim dressy velvet and
broadcloth subsequently, wraps for
the evening. The narrow widths of
fringe are the best to use and are more
serviceable than the wide ones. 1t Is
much prettier to use fringe to match
the material in color. Silk, chenille
and braid fringes are all used upon
velveteen, cloth and the soft silks
such as moire, poplin and gros-grain.
Fringe should be used as a finish 10
other trimmings-for instance, on the
edge of bias folds or -quillings.
Then, again. the narrow silk fringes are
pretty used on the edge of heavy lace
insertions, the insertion being put on
without fullness. all corners being
mitred. Narrow Valencsennes and
torchon laces are used as bands to
trim evening blouses and gowns Of silk,
voile and muslin; the lace should not
be put on fiat, but gathered like a
small ruffle: otherwise, it is handled as
braid-that is, put on in a pattern.
Among the black trimmings quite a
new and pretty thing is black cluny
lace, trimmed with jet. Again, there
is a net trimming covered with SPAN
giles and bugle beads. This latter Is a
resurrection of the old-fashioned bugle
bead trimming Of many years ago.
Another new one, and very odd, Is a
conventional design Of cut jet beads,
with a silk cord through the center and
a silk edge. Then there is fine cut
bead passementerie, with a silk cord
foundation.

 During her college life the marchioness occupied always the first place in her class and was the president of several clubs and societies. She related laugh ingly to me how she once lost her nerve, and her speech with it, when invited to make an address before many persons, and she still considers it the most diff cult thing to address a public assemblage.
 When the marchioness returned to Ja- pan after her degree was conferred she did not know how to make even q Japan csc kimono, but it did not take her long to learn She was married twenty-three years ago to Field Marshal Oyama, then distinguished general and a mighty fig ure of Japan. The late Marquis Saigo was the middleman at her marriage. The alliance was at first considered unequal on account of the high rank and dstinc- tion of the general. but Marquis Sago insisted upon 1t. saying that the wisdom and culture of the brilliant young lady were the rarest things in the world. So the marriage took place and has been a rarely happy one. Marchioness Oyama Is so practical, systematic and accomplished that she has made of the field marshars home a place of comfort and delight

At a charity ball held early the second season l wore the first dress suit ever exposed to public view in Nome. Judge Clark finally broke the ice by shak- Ing hands with the man who had nerve enough to wear dress suit in Nome"
 It was most amusing thing to see the dress suits appear after that Before the winter was over 1t was rare indeed to see man at function in anything but evening clothes. Where they came from has never been satisfactorily explained to this day.
 And the thing that brought all this about is gold. Nature hides her treas ures in strange places. and puts through strange paees us that seek for it. Every body in Nome has a claim; everybody ex- poets to strike 1t rich sooner or later. Enough enthusiasm optimism and ambi- ton are generated in Nome each year to supply the earth-aye. the universe-could they be bottled or dried. The first mining was done by placer methods right on the sea beach. At first one man could make as much as $50 day by the simplest methods. Each inch of beach, one might say has been worked over by the hand methods, and now the whole beach is be- ing systematically sifted again; this time gasolene engines and mercury are assist ing.

 The most remarkable thing about Nome is the rapldity with which 1t acquired the luxuries of civilization. It's electric light ing system and it's telephone service are excellent. It's large greenhouse supplies fresh vegetables and flowers the year round at reasonable prices. There are nu- merous clubs, the most important of which is a secret society the Arctic Brotherhood, whose club house Is in every particular all that a club house should be, from the bowling alleys to the cafe. The three churches are the largest build ings.
 The first winter of Nome was character ized by what might be called high finance. truly commentary on the mental trend of the day. Everybody tried to corner something. To corner things was in every particular was legitimate. and to neglect an opportunity was to court ruin.
 The price of coal under artificial stimu- Jus went to slJO a ton; lumber commanded $500 a thousand feet before the winter broke. Castor oil could be had in large quantities for 50 cents an ounce; eggs brought 50 cents each. The most success ful corner was that of fresh milk. There was only one COW in the city. the owner thereof cleared s1000 on milk. and sold the COW in the spring. realizing $500 more Beer brought unheard of prices. To take advantage Of the high prices expected the following winter. poultry yards and dairies were established and brewery built, and thus prices found their natural level.

Yes, we Japanese women all look upon her, our great Em- press, with devotion and love, as of a thousand Japanese mountains turning to- ward Holy Fujii with the divine white cap so far above us,"
 The Marchioness Oyama has had a most interesting career. She was born in the Aizu province. where the hardy warriors in our history come from. Her father was a great samurai. and her mother a beautiful woman and a model Japanese mother. Upon the destruction of the feu- dal government their family was terribly impoverished. Yhe mother had disciplined all of her children well and instructed them nobly. The marchioness learned the teaching of Confucius at very early age, and I have been told that she was even obliged to work as a little child to earn a few cents. She was only ten years old when she was sent to America. She was chosen as the cleverest among a thousand little girls, and sent by the gov- ernment to the United States to be edu- cated. That was in Meija 1, that is, in 1871.
 There were two other little girls who shared in the distinction accorded the daughter of the Samurai One was Ume Tsuda, who has since become Japan's greatest women educator. The other is the wife of the celebrated Admiral Uriu. They were in charge of Ambassador Iva kura, who was the first ever sent to America. The marchioness told me laugh ingly. and with an occasionally tinge of sarcasm, how they were received in Amer

It has been said in Europe and also in America that Japanese women are inferior to their women Are they? Oh, no, never! Simply the Japanese woman has never been properly understood Not un- til quite recent times has she been given an opportunity to show her characteris- tics, and to prove her own value and ability Now they are extremely happy to do their best for their country, and they will be entitled to share in the glory and the honor.
 ..They are no more dolls and puppets, as they were supposed to be in foreign countries. They do not play with fans and walk in the streets carrying oranges and paper napkins in their long sleeves as they do in so many Japanese plays and stories-in America. They are won derfll workers From the Empress down to the women of the lowest class they are working as hard as possible. Work. work. work. is the cry of our Japanese women today.

It was an odd circumstance that one evening at the Authors club in New fork city, last winter, l heard the very story, from the other point of view, from Ed mund Clarence Stedman. The marchion- ess was delighted to learn of what was said and to find that the gentleman Wno arranged the details of their reception, their hotel accommodations and thou sand other comforts was the famous Americna poet and man of letters
 Why, 1 never dreamed it was he who did so much for us," the marchioness again exclaimed with pleasure.
 In Washington the little girls were put under the protection of the Japanese min ister, the late Arnori Mori. 1t was he who decided to separate the children since they spent all day long only Tn singing and playing.
 And, indeed, if we had stayed together perhaps we should not have learned one English word" said the marchoness.
