nave tried to redeem the pledges
which / made to the people in
my last Primary Campaign, that
II elected I would endeavor to
faithfully discharge everv duty
OF the office which devolved upon
me; and whilst l have had to
deal with a great many weighty
and important matters, both in
Court and out of Court, in which
the State was interested, l have
not knowingly neglected even
the smallest matter which de-
manded my attention.
l lind myself confronted with
this proposition that will be
compelled either to neglect some
of the constantly increasing
duties and demands of the Office
or fail to make as extensive a
personal campaign throughout
the State as l would otherwise
like to do. l desire to assure you
that l shall not neglect the duties
of the Office.
If reelected to this important
Office, l shall earnestly endeavol
to advance and protect every in

Stale Styles For China.

Men who have wondered what b.

I'D clothing that remain unsold at the
pse of each season In this country
ill be interested to learn that con-
1derable portion Of such stock is dis
psed Of in China. where the men are
adopting the dress Of their western
brothers. The rising generation OF
Chinese Is particularly keen for head
gear worn in America, but the styles
seen there are always those that were
IN vogue In this country the year be-
fore. Much Of the mems apparel that
fails to find a market in this country
finds its way to the far east In walk
through the streets Of any Chinese city
one sees derbies. fedoras and caps that
bear American labels. Most OF the
caps are of British make because many
of the tourists come from London. and
in selecting cap the native has no
guide except the headgear he sees on

THRILLING Balloon Experienes.

Probably no aeronauts have ever
survived to tell such thrilling story
Of their experiences rs Messrs. Glai-
sher and Coxwell when. In 1862. they
made their record ascent Of seven
miles. When the balloon had reached
a height Of 10000 fest Mr. Glaisher
records, II dimly saw Mr.. Coxwell in
the ring and endeavored to speak. but
could not. when In an instant intense
black darkness came. and suddenly
became unconscious" Mr.. Coxwell
himself was on the point OF succumb-
ing to the intense cold. The boar
frost was all around the neck Of the
balloon, his hands were frozen and
poweriess, and az tho balloon was still
rising swiftly death seemed inevitable
to both aeronauts. Mr.. COxwell des-
paired OF opening the valve to release
the gas. Insensibility was rapidly
coming over him. and 1t was only lat
the last gasp that by happy inspira-
ton he seized the cord with his teeth
and dipped his head two or three
times until the balloon took q decided
turn downward"
