BI-METALLISM
is HIS REMEDY

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 3.-(SpeciaD
Isaac N. Stevens, who was chair
man of the executive committee of
the Nationals Silver party in\ the
campaign of 1896, said in an inter
view today:
There is not basic money enough
in the world to do the business of
the world. The United States is not
the only country suffering from a
shortage of money. The German
banks have begun to enforce sixty
day motive regulation for the with
drawal Of funds, and France, Eng
land and other prosperous countries
are suffering from a lack of money.
This is the time for the Congress of
the United States to inaugurate a
universal movement for bimetalism.
Congress should take action look
ing toward the guaranteeing of the
funds of depositors. The Government
should either go into the banking bus
mess outright or have nothing what
ever to do with it.

To Broaden the Shoulders

A new coat intended to broaden the
shoulders and give the wearer length
was made from blue serge. The back
is close in fit and gracefully adjusted
under the arms, but the front extend
ed down into decided point at the
centre front The sleeve caps that
extend over the full upper sleeve to
the tight cuff are cut as part of the
body portion. All edges and the seams
are decorated with an inch wide silk
braid and four fancy jet buttons de-
corate each side of the front closing,
The closing is single breasted and
so cut that it discloses a fancy vest
and dress yoke above.
Rain coats are a necessary and as
much worn adjunct of the wardrobe
as ever. 1t is to be noted that the
new redingotes have had an influence
upon rain coats, which are closer at
the waist and instead of belts there
is a decided tendency to the waist
and skirt construction. For great
many women the redingote is a far
better garment because of its close
fit, its long lines and dressier APP
pearance and if one must economic
one would better choose the redin-
cote.

NO AMERICAN
POST AT VATICAN

ROME, Dec 3.-(SpeciaD The
Vatican, through the pressure COM
ing from nearly every quarter of the
world, but more especially from Ger
many, has awakened up to the nee
essity of giving foreigners a larger
representation in the high positions
of the Church
With regard to America the Cath
Ollie Church there has in the last 100
years taken a really prodigious de-
velopment having grown to nearly
100 dioceses, with almost 1900
priests and more than 100000 com
municants.
This immense body of laymen and
ecclestiastics have not one single rep
resentative at the seat of their Church
and the Apostolic Delegate in Wash
ington, who is the connecting link
between them and the Vatican, is
and has always been an Italian
The only race not represented is
the AnglO-SaXon, but England has a
veteran member of her hierarchy who
has lived in Rome for more than for
ty years in the person of Mgr. Ed
nun Stoner, Archbishop of Trebizond
while America has no one who takes
such place here.
In fact the only American eccles-
iastics living in Rome are Mgr
Thomas Kennedy, of Philadelphia,
who is absorbed in the affairs of the
American College, the Importance of
which is now superior to any two
other foreign colleges put together
and Mgr. Robert Seton, who has never
interferred in any question between
the Catholic Church in the United
States and the Vatican

COSTUMES IN FANCY
DRESS SOUGHT FOR
Holiday Fashions in the
Metropolis.
Correspondence Times-Recorder)

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The season
is at hand for the preparation of the
fancy dress costume. From now on
until the days of Lent and especially
during the holiday season will such
attire be in demand and new ideas
are always in favor for its develop
ment
Characters from books are an old,
but never failing source for the
character costume" and no writer
presents a more varied range of
subject or more details for their make
up than the novelist Charles Dick

deal of laughter in a recent book
masquerade" was that of Betsy Trot-
wood, a cane in one hand and pic
ture of a donkey in the other or
more fun could be created if a boy
companion would dress to represent
the donkey.
One of the Sporty boys, fond of
hunting, used the word Orion. On
the breast of his velvet doublet was
embroidered a representation of the
constellation of Orion, in his hand
or in his belt was a toy club and on
his shoulders hung the traditional
lions skin.
Many other mythogical characters
are good copy for the character cos
tune" such as Ceres Diana, Mer-
curry and many others.

GREAT CHANCE FOS
FURNITURE BARGAINS
Allison Company Sacrifice
ing Big Stock

Owing to the bad weather that
marked the last few days of Novem-
Der and the fact that it still has an
enormous stock of furniture and
household goods of every variety, and
new stuff en- route, the Allison Fur
niture Company has decided, as will
be seen from it's advertisement else
where, to continue its great sale at
reduced prices. The sale will con-
tinue until the holidays and will now
afford the public a magnificent oppOr-
tunity to secure presents either of a
useful or an ornamental nature, or
those that combine both of these quail
tiles.
There is no better place in South
Georgia to secure handsome, useful
and durable presents for Christmas
than this store said President Ali
son yesterday to Times-Recorder
representative as he showed him over
the great furniture emporium.
"The public taste now requires pre-
sents of the character we are offer
ing" he continued, presents that
appeal to the good sense of both the
giver and the recipient What, for
instance, could be more appreciated
by a father or mother than a comfor
table arm chair or rocking chair, eth
er in leather or in wicker. 1t means
many a pleasant hour of restfulness
to them.
Then there are the lounge, sofas,
davenports. They suggest comfort
any many hours of it, and we are Of
fering them at tempting prices.
"A new sideboard, too, may be
needed in the home Here they are
in every style and at every price.
Or chairs for the dining room or the
hall or the parlor Where can there
be found such a stock as we offer?
IF coverings are needed no one
should buy without looking at our
art squares and our rugs of all
sizes. The stock is ample enough to
satisfy every taste and every purse.
In china, cut glass, pictures, vases
and other articles that are purely or
namentalS we carry what we claim
to be the finest and largest stock to
be found in any city of the size of
Americas in the South. They make
presents that are always acceptable.
Our supply of parlOr lamps is also
great
In other words concluded Presi-
dent Allison, "the judicious shopper
seeking for gifts to loved ones will
find here the very things that add to
the comfort and happiness of the
home-and that is what all presents
should do" 12-4 and W

Plated Skirts in Vogue

The vogue of the plated skirt
still continues and all materials save
the most heavy are used in its con-
struction.
The fashion is said to be threaten
ed with boned waists, which will be
sorrowful news to the slight girls,
for a boned waist without drapery is
to her hideous
The shirt waist intended for shop
ping, or morning wear is stritly
tailored affair, and are entirely plain
or a few trucks only being permits
sible.
The circular skirts are becoming
more and more pleasing and are an
attractive change to the long vogue
of the plated models.
Height and slenderness are two
absolute requisites in the new coats.
The overblouse continues in favor
in many variations. Sometimes sep
arate, sometimes as part of the bod
ice.

Interview with Lee Holder.


Il. a, Compton. who is taking
considerable interest in the petit
tions which are beng circulated in
behalf Of Lee Holder. paid the pris-
oner in Jail here visit last We'd
nesday and reports that he had 4
very extensive conversation with
the young man who is sentenced to
hang Nov 80 for the murder Of his
father.
Mr. Compton informs US that
Holder was unusually bright and
talkative and that he seemed par
tIcularly interested in what was
being said.
Mr.. Compton asked him II he was
satisfied with his spiritual condi-
tion, and Lee replied promptly and
freely that he had made his peace
with God and was prepared to die.
In answer TO the question # he
had at any time given expression
to such statement as that which
has been circulated and reported to
have been made by him to the effect
that if they were going to hang
him he wanted them to do it, but if
not he wanted them to pardon him,
he replied positively that he had
never given utterance to anything
OF the kind. He said that ne hoped
Mr.. Compton and others would be
successful with the petitions, and
that he fully appreciated the work
that is being done in his behalf.
He hoped also that the Governor
would commute his sentence to life
imprisonment.
Mr.. Compton was very much
pleased with the interview and we
publish it as he gave it to us.
