much promise Of successful adoption.
The silk Jacket built on eton lines is
approved by designers over here. The
Russian "coatees," with peplums and
ornamental belts, and the picturesque
directoire models. With big. soft revers
or shoulder capes, are also making
progress In the fashionable field. Lit.
tie wraps Of soft fringed silk, that are
enlarged scarfs, so to speak, are also
approved Of by our importers.
Black satin coats trimmed with gold

Fairmont did not take a back seat
in celebration Of Halloween last night
and not, all the young folks went to
Pittsburg or Wheeling to enjoy the
event, apparently very few were out
of the city last evening, judging by
the immense crowd in the vicinity of
the court house from nightfall until
IL o'clock.
Miss Fairmont did herself proud last
evening; a good genuine old.time Hal
lowe'en was celebrated; every one en-
joyed themselves. Old man Pessimist
could not be found as no one was look
ing for him, nor for Old Man Crouch.
Along about $3.50 o'clock Main street
in the business section was filled with
merry-makers dressed in all kinds OF
costumes, so mary different kinds that
1t would take columns to give then de.
scriptions, there was the hobo, the In
dian, the rube, the "nigger" while
scores Of young men were dressed rs
girls and not few girls were attired
in male costumes; confetti, beans,
corn and oats were thrown into each
others faces and everything was tax.

most enjoyable Halloween celebra'

foreign fruit dealers spreading their
display stands over the sidewalk many
feet beyond the distance allowed by
the city ordinance, which says that

| r, AS there is IA cause and effect for
Everything, there Is a reason for the
decline in the sale of horses, which,
Iaccording to the speaker, Is due TO
the automobile 4 being used now Jan
joyers the count fry for private and public
tconyeyances that the larger depart,
ment stores use few horses In their
4 delivery wagons, and its will be only
d question Of time until every store

1 The gentleman said that he :had
travelled quite extensively in the
country during the past ten years, and
that the price Of horseshad gone down
greatly in the past fly years all over
the United States, not excepting the
West and South.
He said that he had just finished
a trip through this State, and he
found that dozens OF the larger stores
were making preparations to substi.
tute auto delivery wagons instead
of those drawn by horses. There IS
4 no doubt that the larger business
houses of Fairmont will in a short
time use horseless delivery wagons.
This city already has its ratio of pri.
yate autos, compared with those III
other cities of the Middle States. AS
the automobile becomes more gen,
orally used, the demand for horses
decreases; consequently, the price of
the faithful beast becomes less. OF
course, there will always be many
horses used for. special work, but the
animal will not be found in as many
capacities as in the years gone by be.
fore the auto was introduced. (.
