Careless and cappy.

8 SosSsSoo o"0 SOFPys
We have undertaken to blend in
one the best of the two proverbial
conditions-to be careless and happy,
hairless and cappy. We are nov hap
py and cappy, and frequently careless
as well. A pretty figure may be con-
jured up-a figure in leaf-green satin
veifed with rose and silver shot gauze.
The dark hair is covered by a sal
lor's cap, point and all, worn fatty
over the whole head, the point falling
at the back. Instead of being made
of scarlet cashmere, it is of the gauze,
over silver tissue, and studded with
pink and yellow topaz, while it is Dor
dered with great gray p~ear-shaped
pearls, these, of course, hanging
around the back of the neck and over
the soft hair in front.
We have taken to caps!

REFUSED PARDON.

Holding that the laT must be en-
forced for the protection Of society,
Governor Brown, OF Georgia, on Satur-
day afternoon denied the pardon petit
ton of Thomas Edgar Stripping, who
1t years ago killed William Cornett in
Harris county, because Of insulting ad-
yances 10 his wife and his sister. He
was convicted oi this crime and sent
ence1 to life Imprisonment. Stripping
made his escape, fed to another state,
and By sob,iety ard strict attention to
du.y became chief Of police Of Dan
vile. Va. holding that position until
less than two months ago. when he was
recognized and returned to Georgia.
STRIPPING is at present confined in the
Jail at Columbus, using the lailer's Of
ice as a cell. Broken in health, sui
fering from tuberculosis, he is in no con
dition for hard work on the road, aud
will be sent to the state prison farm
where some kiud Of light work will be
given him.
In denying the petition, Governor
Brown reversed the tion OF the prison
commission, which unanimously rec
commended The pardon, and acted in
direct opposition to public sentiment,
hundreds of petitions and letters fFom
Georgia and Virginia and other points
having been submitted the governor
aud the prison commission, pleading
for the pardon of the man who by IA
years of right living had shown the up
rightncss of his life and had earned, in
their opinion. clean slate from the
state.
Information from Columbus where
Stripping is confined, is to the effect
that his attorneys will reopen the case
as soon as Governor Brown retlres IN
June and Hoke Smith goes into the
executive Office.
