Powered Underwear.

One of the latest fads of the season
Is the use OF dainttly sprigged and
flower cambrics for underwear This,
of course is merely a passing whim.
for there are too many women who
conservatively object to introducing
color into the scheme of the lingerie
for 1t to become a fixed fashion.
Those who have no prejudice in this,
regard and who jump at anything
new are choosing early Victorian de-
signs in soft. pale coIorings which
wash well and keep their tints. There
are besides embroidered cambrics and
lawns ant dotted swisses which are
put to the same purposes as well as
figured muslins. All of these Ger.
tainly have a dainty and very sum.

n recent years and came as q great
surprise to the people here. Since

Bristol George Wolfe, a wealthy
merchant at Speers Ferry, Scott
county, whose estate is valued at
100000, was found dead, his body
stuffed in cattle guard on the vir-
ginia and Southern railway, near
Clinchport. The first impression was

but his body was not mangled. The
verdict of the coroner's jury investi-
eating the case was that Wolfe was
not killed by a train, but was muir
dered and his body placed where it
was found. The most probable mo-
tive for the murder appears to be
robbery, although some suspect that
Wolfe may have been killed by per-
sonal enemies. Wolfe is said to have
carried large sums of money at times
and this was generally known in
Scott county. Detectives will be en-
ployed to Investigate the affair.
