For His Present Position on County
Board.
Nicholas Pottgieser, a member OF
the present board of county commits
sioners, has filed for denomination on
the republican ticket. He will un-
doubtedly be nominated and re-elect-
ed, as his service on the board has
been entirely satisfactory, and he is
well known everywhere. He has been
most painstaking commissioner
thoroughly honest and conscientious
and, as chairman of the committee on
printing and stationery supplies, has
saved much money to the county.
Mick" has been careful to the point
of conservatism, and such member
is always valuable on a board. None
has given more time and attention to
county affairs, and his vote has al
ways been registered on the right

PARIS CLOTHES.

Chaep fashions in Paris do not mean cheap tlnery, and that is why French women dress we'll When they want finery they pay for 1t, and when they can't afford it they go without and dress according to their means. That Is the whole secret. They dress as well relatively on G10 (50) 8 year as on e1,00o (s5, GOOD. The style is every thing, and that-within limits-is as accessible to a short as to a long purse.
 Experts say that the very cheapest dress which Parsian shop girl can buy-one at 19f. 90 C., for instance-has style about it and is in the fashion. Would she find it's equivalent in Eng land2 In Paris it is an axion that there is only one fashion for rich and poor alike, and East End hats and cos- ter-girl modes have no French equiv alent whatever. It Is true that tho French girl devotes two thirds of her life, as a rule to the study of dress, She knows within a week or so what tht great ladies are wearing, and while carefully refraining from aping theii luxury, she follows their fashions close. ly. In short, she asks for style with out finery She would no more think ot going to her work in an unfashionably cut dress than she would of hanging cheap ribbons, sham lace and tin orna- ments round herself. Hence her owr special shops must keep as much up. to-date as the great courtiers.-Lon- don Telegraph.

NICKNAMEs OF POLITICIANS,
Titles by Which We'll Known Men

Titles by Which Well Known Men
 Were Familiarly Spoken Of.
 Until recently the newspapers re- ferred to Jeff Davis of Arkansas. Bob Taylor of Tennessee and Tom Watson of Georgia. Ceremony was dispensed with. The public insisted on familiarity with the men of whom it heard so much. Suddenly the note is changed. As the result of two senatorial primaries the reference now is to Hon. Jefferson Davis and Hon. Robert L. Taylor, while several successful books have produced for the types. Hon. Thomas E. Watson. Whether we shall all love them more at a little distance and with our hats respectfully raised is a ques- tion.
 To the very last the public held on to Jim Blaine and to Ben Harrison. Tammany always spoke of Sammy Til- den, though not with affection. It hat ed him pretty cordially. Nobody ever spoke of Bill or Billy Mckinley, and nobody speaks of Bill or Billy Bryan. Neither MT. Cleveland's nor Judge Parker's given name leads itself to an affectionate diminutive, and neither man is of chummy disposition.
 People spoke admirably of Sam Ran dall, and of Tom Reed and of Dave Henderson. They speak so to-day of Joe Cannon-Uncle Joe. But nobody was ever heard to speak of Charley Crisp or of Jack Carlisle. And yet the Georgian was an affable and a very popular man, and the Kentuckian was admired as Speaker as much as any man who had ever occupied the chair. If MT. Williams goes in two years hence shall we hear of Jack Williams, or will he continue to be known as John Sharp?
 This disposition of the public runs eccentrically. Gen Harrison was not a chummy man, and yet people in speak, ing of him called him Ben. MT. Ran dall was a very firm and unyielding man and had few intimates, and yet the public insisted on Sam. When people spoke of Dan Voorhees, every body could understand, because the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash had an address which was the very essence of heartiness and joviality. But a nature of the same quality never in the case of Judge Crisp diminished in the press the formal Charles to Charley, nor in that of MT. Mckinley the formal Will fam to Bill or Billy Washington Star.

wHERp LIGHTING srRIKEs.
At functions and on Sharp Curves of
 Trolley Lines

At functions and on Sharp Curves of
 Trolley Lines.
 H. H. Adams, Baltimore street rail- way man, has a clever method of find- ing out where lightning is likely to strike one of his cars,
 According to the Street Railway Journal he keeps In his office a large scale map of the system, and whenever a car crew reports that car has been damaged by lightning, he sticks a pin in the map at the point where the car was at the time
 It is astnishing how quickly record of this kind will show up the locations that seem to be especially susceptible to lightning discharges. In the course of the season few points will have a miniature forest of pins grouped around them, while long stretches of track vii show no pins atl all.
 When particular location begins to accumulate a collection of these tell tale pins, lightning arrester can be installed at this point and the trouble at once eliminated or at least materially reduced. From graphic records kept in this way over period of years it has been determined that the most vulner- able points are at functions of tnes and at sharp bends and curves

LITE IN A RUSSIAN VILLAGE.
Interior of a. Peasant Home-Food and
 Clothing of thA Peonle


 Clothing of the People.
 The general appearance of the village Is picturesque and quaint, and the white cottages give it bright tone. Let us go into one of them, says wri- ter in Sunday at Home, who spent some time among the mujiks. This one is a little larger than most of the e thers, land contains three rooms. Two of them are occupied by a peasant family of six persons-four. adults, boy of fifteen and a small child.
 One of the rooms is the kitchen, and furnished with a large stove, surround ed by benches, which at night are used as beds. The only other furniture is a table and few stools. Some kitchen utensils are scattered about the floor and the table, and the walls are plen- tifully adorned with brilliantly painted ikons or religious pictures. The rooms are lighted by small windows hermeti- cally sealed, and the atmosphere is not of the purest. The third room is let to a lodger, a candidate for holy orders, who is assisting the local priest When I arrived he was busy cleaning his bicycle, which he had hung up out side the door; even the reactionary Orthodox church is not wholly blind to the blessings of civilization. This fam fly has an allotment of about seventeen acres, for which three pounds three shiliings have to be paid yearly in tax es. including the instalments for the endowment, but the latter will have been repaid in full in seven years time. They also own three horses and two foals. a COW, calf, three pigs and four sheep. Around the house is a yard en- closed by wooden fence and some sheds and stables,
 The peasants food consists chiefly of kasha Ca sort of gruell, black bread, cabbage soup, and on rare occasions a little meat. They drink water, kvas Ga non-alcOholic beverage made of bread or berries), and vodka or spirits. The mems clothing consists of red cotton shirts and Jackets, and trousers en- closed in high boots or canvas leggings, with sandals of vegetable fibre. The women also wear cotton materials and brightly colored handkerchiefs.
 These light clothes are worn even in winter, for the izbas are heated to a very high temperature, and for going out of doors thick sheepskins are donned, most effective protection against cold. It cannot be said that the Russian peasant Is the cleanliest of mortals, for although he has his week. ly bath on Saturday evening, he puts on the same clothes and { hesame rare- ly changed linen again afterward. The odor produced by crowd of Russian peasants in heated room is quite inde- | scriba'ble.
