 pegs so that the wood Is quite smooth, then gild them with gold or silver paint, when this is dry, simply take two pegs and, holding them by the head end, press the fork parts into one another; this will hold them perfectly secure and no other fastening of the pegs is necessary. Now screw about five screw hooks into the pegs, and gild them also. Sometimes the wood is a little hard for screwing in; when this is SO, simply rub a little beeswax on the screw end, there will be then no trouble in screwing them in the hardest TUf wood.
 Y The pegs can be enameled if pre-. ferred, any. delicate color is suitable; when they are finished and the screws in.f take "a nice piece of ribbon about an inch wide and make a loop of it so that the holder will hang up; secure the ribbon to the ends of the pegs, but do not cover the peg-heads over. The" color of ribbpu may be cream or gold; or if the pegs have been enaIn- saed. the ribbon should Do t9s came shade. - = --.-

crossed at the front, but the younger contingent, at least. Is. apt to place the closing at the back and to arrange the scarf straight across the body.
 Afternoon costumes show a great many beautiful materials, but per- haps there is nothing that can be said at once to be more fashionable or more elegant than the redingote suits of heavy satin. A very beautiful one is of brown satin with high, choker collar. deep cuffs and the band at the lower edge of the coat of natural beaver In cut and in treatment. however, the costume is simple. for the coat is simply graceful, full one, belted while the under skirt is plain and of moderate width. A novel feature, however, is found in the belt which is slipped through two small rings of dark red at each side of the front. The entire, costume gives sense of quiet elegance that is very charming, but the lining is a lowered silk in rich and even sumpt- uous colors.
 The evening costumes are always of interest. The latest to have ap- peared give evidence of the great favor for rich, metal brocades. They are of necessity somewhat simple in cut and in style. for material of the sort is SO superb of itself that it will not allow of trimming to any extent and must be used on comparatively plain surfaces to give the best results A fascinating gown that makes a good example is of white silk, richly and heavily brocaded with silver. The skirt consists of long plain tunic slightly gathered at sides and back and finished with band of silver lace sewed to it's lower edge. Beneath the 'tunic is seen a narrower skirt all of silver lace bound with plain satin and on the edge of the tunic is tiny little bit of black fur. The bodice is quite plain at the back and forms three deep points at the front, two of which ex- tend to the shoulders where they are joined to the back by means of strips of rhinestone beads. The center point is of half length and is arranged over band of exquisite silver lace. There are tiny little sleeves oi tullc and there is just little drapery of the tulle against the skin. above the brocade and silver lace, that has delightfully."- softening effect. The waist line is finished with narrow girdlc of silver ribbon and at the left side. hang long ends of the same, finished with bands of silver lace and edged with fur.

 Everything that scintillatcs. every thing that sparkles, everything that is brilliant Is worn for evening occasions.

NEW FIRE TRUCK EARLY NEXT YEAR

 Bloom has been diligently planning two or thres improvements of mgre

 least of which is the adding of
 another fire truck to the local de-
 Partmhnc. His plans for the fire truck are almost in shape now for presentation to the council, and the Lelief is general the council will
 favor the proposition and that Fire
 Chief Briener will have some more
 up+ +-o-date apparatus, with which to losses.
 The new truck will be along tn , same general lines of the "Simon
 Bloom," the $e,O0O apparatus which has been in service several months
 past, with the most satisfactory ra- suits. It will not be so heavy. so big or so gensrally comprehensive, bu, 1t will answer in everyway the pres ent requirements of the local depart ment. Already members of the city government are planning to name the truck the, Finn. Hut" in honor os the late alderman who was for g. many years cha. rman of the fire com mitt.e of the council.
 The tentative plans are to place tho new truck in the station house in the Lakeside section of the city, replac- ing the apparatus now there. The wagon now in Lakeside will be re- tainad at central fire Headquarters as reserve apparatus, although in ali
 likelihood the two horses will be sold. The saving in feed for the
 hcrses alone will aggregate some thing like $150 ger year S, {. Whill Mayor Bloom has not yet given any, indicationsas to his Splans,, is is understood the matter is.in, such shape that the new, apparatus can pba purchased and Spaids for almost with cut noticeable effect on -the city's financ.s.

LATEST FASHION NOTES
 from the FASHION CENTRES

TSHE Horse Show in New York
 has opened its doors and is vastly
 entertaining as well as brilliant. The opera will come next and we are preparing therefor and there are all ecrts of beautiful costumes to be seen, not alone at the Show, but also on the street and displayed for the benefit of the many strangers who always are in town during the week. As is com monly the case, fur makes really the most important feature of the costume .display. From time. immemorial. Horse Show week has been the date set for the opening Of the fur season. It seldom is really cold enough to make for real comfort, but weather conditions are far too trivial to be allowed to hamper the world of fashion, and fur coats. fur trimming and the high, enveloping collars of fur are being worn with great eclat and distinction. For evening wear, the loose, ample wrap is the accepted ono and it is to be met in every avail able skin from ermine to squirrel. For the street coat the redingote is a much liked model and redingotes are found in such fur as seal and also are conspicuous made of velvet combined with fur. A notable ono, for example, is of black velvet, richly embroidered with gold and silver and combined with breitschwantz. A very superb coat of seal shows a "Chin-Chin" collar and deep cuff of spotless ermine, and there are numberless evidences of similar combinations. An exceedingly handsome rcdingote met early in the week was of Hudson seal in Russian style with wide belt of the fur anda very full, faring skirt. It was finished with exceedingly high "Chin-Chin" collar and deep cuffs of skunk. Caracul lends itself to the redingote idea and the making of plaited and draped effects with marvellous success. The shorter coats for the street take a great many different forms. A notable one is a jacket of seal with a loose. raglan back and high collar that rolls over to reveal lining of ermine. Smaller fur pieces take the form of scarfs and of collars and the scarfs are worn most interestingly. The long straight one that we used to know as "directoire" is to be seen in a variety of skins and is worn with one and wound closely around the throat. while the other hangs loose from the left shoulder down nearly to the hem of the skirt. A very smart and beau- tiful model is of white erriine of the tailless sort. combined with narrow strips of seal and was carried with round huff to match. The wide scarfs of shorter length are many of them draiAd over the shoulders after the manner of ehawls, with the ends

it will be soon otter his confirmation
by the senate. That will come as a
matter of course for no opposition is
anticipated. Col. Amis continues to
receive congratulations upon his ap-
pointment and likewise to get appli-
cations for jobs. There are num-

while the colored contingent shows
an increase of fourteen during the
same period In this district there
were thirty-five white births during

negro births were eighteen females
and nineteen males. Nine white fe-

eleven colored females and twelve
colored males died during the year.

LAW VIOLATION.

Lee Church and d. F. Slater, Of

burn the carcasses of dead animals
upon their farms. The fine was only
nominal one.
The gentlemen were prosecuted
by DIR. Kord, assistant state veterina-
rian, who worked up the evidence in
the two cases. This is the first time
that there has been conviction I'm

ously used henceforth to stop those
farmers who have been allowing dead
animals to lie unburied and their car
asses to spread cholera over their
arms.

PROBABLY THIRTY OR
SIXTY DAYS BEFORE
COL. SMISER LEAVES
THERE is NO DOUBT THAT He
WILL ACCEPT HANDSOME
FEDERAL JOB.
Many WOULD Be HIS ASSISTANT
There Are So Far No Announced Ap-
plicants for the secreSaryship In
der Him-Pay Of Assistant Is $1,000
Per Annum-Lasts Four Years.

1t will probably be thirty or sixty
days before Col. James A. Smiser
will leave Columbia to go to Juneau,
Alaska, to enter upon the discharge
of his duties as federal attorney for
the first division thereof.
The nomination has not yet been
confirmed by the senate, but it is
known that there is no opposition
from either of the Tennessee sena-
tors and that it is only a question Of
a few days until the senate in execu.
i've session will take steps to con-
firm the nomination of the President.
Juneau is situated upon southeast
ern coast of Alaska, where it receives
the benefit of the warm waters of the
ocean. The mean temperature for
the year is about IS degrees. The
minimum is about three degrees be-
ow zero, while the maximum is but
little above ninety-five, The climate
is said to be more moderate than that
of ST Louis.
Col. and Mrs. Smiser will make
their headquarters at Juneau, though
Col Smiser will be called to other
places in the district ofttimes to try
cases. However, the central office of
of the first division of the district
will be at juneau.
/ Col. Smiser has in his hands the
appointment of one assistant and
secretary One assistant is already
in Office. The assistant whom he will
have the power of appointing will re-
ceive salary of $4,000 per year. 1t
IS very desirable place, and there
are a number here who are said to
be in the Barkis mood regarding it.
Among those who have been men,
toned for the place are Will Flem-
ing, Jr., Tom Forgey and w. J. Har-
bison. While none of them, it is
said have made application to Col.
Smiser for this most desirable post,
/ yet they are all in receptive mood,
and are willing to leave sunny Ten
nessee for four years in order to get
the emoluments of the Office.
The secretaryship is said not to
have so many seekers, as the pay is
not in proportion to the distance Of
Alaska from Maury county. Howev-
er, there will doubtless be plenty who
will be willing to help COL Smiser,
for there was never a federal Office
of any kind in the history of this ma
ton which went begging for the lack
of patriots to fill it,

ABSENT AND SELFISH
LANDLORDS CAUSE OF
INDUSTRIAL UNREST
WALL STREET CONTROL OF IN
DusTRIEs ANOTHER SOURCE
OF Discomfort.
TESTIMONY OF ROGER BABsON
Capitalists and Bankers Have Moth
ing Against Labor-Their Only De-
sire and Interest Is in the Amount
of Dividends Paid to Them.

NEW YOORK, Jan. 21.-Absentee
andlordism, control of national in
dustries In Wall Street, and the con-
duct of those industries with a sole
purpose of making dividends are the
underlying causes of industrial I'M
est, declared Roger w. Babson,
noted statistical expert, yesterday to
the United States Industrial Com.
mission, meeting in City Hall.
Eighty per cent of the control of
our large Industries" declared Mr..
Rabson, lis In the hands of bankers
and promoters in twentystory office
buildings; eight per cent in the
hands Of directors, eight per cent in
he hands OF salaried officials, two
per cent IN the hands of employees
and two per cent in the hands of
minority stockholders"
To what extent is this control
exercised in labor matters" asked
Frank p. Walsh, chairman of the
commission. which is making gen.
raj investigation of industrial con-
itiong under act of Congress.
So, far as my experience goes"
eplied Mr., Babson, bankers and
capitalists generally have nothing
gainst labor. They are busy with
other matters and do not bother
bout labor Wall Street is con-
erned with one thing-dividend
Vail Street is satisfied as long as
hey are coming along.
1T makes little difference whether
hey are gained by fair means or
oul, by good machinery or bad, or
by what kind of management. If the
dividends are not produced, then the
directors get busy and make
charges. But they never change the
management or install new machin-
cry for the sake of increasing wages,
but merely to make or increase divi-
dends."
Very few of directors of big con-
cerns," he said, have any knowledge
of the specific business, or are ever
in touch with it. 1t is very seldom a
strike occurs or a receivership is APP

which has built it up and lives in the
town where it is conducted
