Coat suits for little girls are so un-
usual that the pretty model here shown
is certain to receive a cordial welcome
from mothers who have young daugh-
ters to clothe The suit consists of
semi-fitting double-breasted coat OF
smart but eminently comfortable shap-
ing, and a straight kilt skirt with bre-
telles, the latter, which are fastened
to the belt in front and back with but
IONS, serving the double purpose of
keeping the skirt in place and orna-
menting the separate blouse with which
it should be worn. Serge was used for
making the suit as shown, but any Of
the new woolens might be used with
equally good results. If desired, braid
might be used for trimming, though
this is not essential to the success of
the suit. For making in the 10-year
size five yards of 44-inch material Will
be required.

Vile incident.
The resolutions that were defeated
denounced the Roosevelt administra-.
ton. and called upon ali negroes who
love liberty End political rights to-
rally to the standard of Senator
Foraker, insisting that the ot1ice-hold-i
ing Republicans would consign them
to as abJect political bondage as was
ever suffered In slavery times.
The resolutions adopted were pre-.
sented for the. committee by j. FL.

to the negroes to remember that this
was white mans country. and that
1t was the part of the negro to lnain-s

minded them of troubles that had come
from too much activity in the past

opposition.
Among those of note was the one

and hard. In several towns In Virginia
of smaller population than Manchester
the CITY Attorney receives more than
even the increased salary given to the
attorney for this city.
Among the other ordinances con-
Cured In were: Appropriating $4,000

and Porter Streets eighteen inches
