EMOLUMENTS OF STATE
AND CITY OFFICIALS.

y AS will be seen in an article on tho
first page of today's Gazette, the
people of Richmond have taken an IN
ventory of the annual outlay to meet
the payrolls of officials In that city.
The salaries and perquisites OF some
officers are fabulous considering the
commercial value of similar work
performed for private concerns.
In connection with the above the
salaries of state officials is also pub
lishcd. AS is the case in the capital
city. the officers are we'll paid for the
services they render.
In some cases the positions are
necessary in order to carry on the
work of the State, but that there are
mIanv posts in the commonwealth
supcrfluous must be apparent to all
people in the State who are levied
upon annually to keep up the super
fluous positions.
Were such a character as Frederick
the Great head of affairs IN TINS
commonwealth his close pruning
would set a number of people look
ing for jobs. 1t is said he kept close
account with all his subordinates. and
knew every detail of his household eX-
penses, and, apart from few giant
soldiers. he never kept any useless
oficeholders about him.
Public positions have multiplied at
an alarming rate in Virginia dur
ing the past few years.
Many persons suggest that con-
stitutional convention should be call
ed as soon as possible, with the para
mIount issue in the selection of dele
gates war on useless official posi-
tons"

PADS AND FASHIONS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-There is al ways a certain fascination about tail Ored suits and this autumn the tail cred suits are unusually attractive. The new fabric known by the name of duVetyn, or peau de peche, which is used extensively for such suits, is the sensation of the season It gives to the figure a suppleness that many of the other heavy fabrics deny it. It is warm and vet soft and can be manipulated easily into folds and drapCry. The colors in it are good for there is something about the weave that gives out, or rather, takes in, soft, smoky tones of red, gray. purple and green that most women can wear.
 In dark green. dark purple and deep khaki one sees the majority or street suits. Paquin uses more ma rine blue than any other house. and he also uses coats of silk matelasse
 which some of the other houses have dropped altogether. Whatever the weave or color or name of the ma : terials used they are all soft Velours de laine was good to look at, but it was too heavy to drape and there were many women who complained that it did not wear well. It is too

early to say whether or not duVetyn will merit the same reproach but it is the fabric of the day, and America probably will be wearing it as stead fly as Paris when tae cold season begins.
 So far there has been no return to long coats, except the compromises made by Paquin between the long godet coat and the short, flaring one Young. slim figures will wear straight little coats that have much charm if they are well made They hang loosely from the shoulders, are rounded below the waist at the back and tilt up in front. They are fas- tened in straight lint to the neck and topped off with some kind of high. loose collar that does not cling close ly to the neck. The sleeves are long and usually exaggerated in shape. They are never conventional. nor do they start from conventional arm holes
 It might be said of all the clothes of the day that they are comfortable They hang from the body instead of confining it; the shoulders are broad and full, the sleeves are immense; the waists show no idea of restraint, and the movement Of the skirt at the knees is like that of pair of zouavc trousers. The only part of the whole costume where one may expect to find discomfort is in the

marrow lOOlllHE.
 The cool weather of the past week has brought out q large number of small fur wraps. The kind that is newest and most coquettish is like a very small shawl with points not only in the middle of the back but also over the hips. Fur will be used not only for wraps but also for trimmings on dresses. Nothing else can re- place it. If any woman possesses d fur coat or boa th-tt is worn, or if she has pieces, no matter of what peltry. now is her time to pick out the best parts, cut them in strips and put them on her winter dress. All kinds of fuls are being used to adorn not only the morning tailor made. but the dressy afternoon and the diap-
 hanous evening frock. No fur is too humble or too luXurous for some pur- pose.
 The smart belts of the winter will be molesilin. DroadtaiL seal. baby caracul and pony skin. The best liked fur coat models are in cutta- way effects, straight front. or box bloused, as the trade terms them. And 1 in full models Japanese styles are
 much favored. But perhaps the new est wraps are the mantelettes, and i they are charmingly chic when deVel- opcd in furs These little wraps eX- 1 tend a triflc below the waist line

 \ new and rather peculiar feature of the coat of the season Is the col lar There is no attempt at fitting in this collar. After many year when the fit of the collar made or marrcd the garment 1t is a bit start ling now to learn that the collar should not fit. The bunchier and clumsicr the neckpiecc the smarter the wrap is considered at the pres ant time. Naturally such a collar gives q very thickset appearance to the back of the neck. The new col lar effect can be produced very easily
 in fur and it is a singular fact that it does not look so clumsy in pelt. Another peculiarity of these new fur collars is the strange way in which they cross in the back. Oc- cassionly this crossing is at the front and the collar joins a band of fur that is used to outline the edges.
 Textile fabrics are now manufac- tured in such clever imitation of fur that they ale difficult to distinguish from the real thing. Arabion lamn ! is a wonderfully good fur imitation 1 of the season and is quite ineXpen- l sive though cheap enough when com apred with the real fur.

Will be sincere in her efforts. not eff

~ girls way of doing anything in
dicates what sort Of a girl she Is. Her
voice in speaking, her choice Of words,
her note writing, dress. gestures, atti-
tudes, show whether she is aiming for
the best standards or is Indifferent to
them. An intelligent girl knows that
no one can be a law unto ones self in
manners, and so she strives for all the
little refinements in conduct She
speaks gently, uses correct English,
writes nice notes; she dresses with ex-
quisite neatness, in good taste and with

Gus fashion. When she moves about she
does so quietly, without noise. rush

a clever girl knows that she may be
perfectly capable, efficient and practical
without ever losing sight Of the necessity
Of composure and dignity. In fact, she
realizes that the person who has the
greatest influence in the world is usually
the one who IS least aware Of IL. Ones

ones character influences ones assoc

when shopping will notice that the most

Burke was Tuning over the failure of
his conspiracy. He had hoped through
this plot TO vindicate his authority. so
sadly Haunted by Carson and Mary

desired result from his scheming, the
outcome had been nothing less than
disastrous. The one certain fact was
