BgAND NEW FASHION Straws That, Indicate 1 Styles for Winter. the It is early to say what will or will not be the reigning fashion for winter, but straws that show which way the wind is blowing are furnished by the autumn styles. It seems safe at least to say that the rough-surfaced clothes so much used of late will give place to smooth, satin-finished goods such as poplins and cashmere, with silk for home wear. Black silk will again become a fashionable gown, and gros-grain or pou de'soie the choice, although figured and brocaded-black silk will be very much worn. Dark, subdued colors will be used for the streets, with no contrasts. In stead, different shades of the same color will tone into one anouier. ah tlie bright pur ples and greens have had their day. For home wear all the delicate shades will be used in soft woollens, and made with almost as many puffs, ruffles and lacesj as the prett lawns j and organdies that -will soon be laid aside. The skirts will be only -moderately full, and all will, be trimmed, some with frills from top to hem, others embroidered about the bottom with braids of various widths. The trimming of evening gowns will be very elaborate. There will embroideries in diversified colorings and- designs, and scrolijracings in jewels down tne whole side 01 the sown. One design of wisterias is done with, chenille intermixed with pearls. In other embroideries gold and steel and lacework ap pear. Pink coral is also inter woven in the-dress trimmings and is a novelty of the moment. The floral designs stand out in bold relief, for the petals are piled.-up one over another. The belted waist has got to share its popularity with the princesse redingote and the cuirasse basque. It will be worn, but not exclusively. The narrow belt will be the favorite, but the oval buckle has' super seded all other designs. The long-wristed sleeves are still in favor, but they have not so much frilling about the hands ; indeed, in such cases, they are quite untrimmed and simply flare over the hands, fitting closely about the wrists. The 'hnlero iacket will not have d things all its own way any more for an important rival has made its appearance in the Rus sian coat, which is in high favor this fall. Capes are to be fash ionable winter wraps. Tartans are very much in vogue for these garments . Capes are made double-breasted, with a high turn-over collar, and fuller in the back than those with a hood. The fur capes are to be less full and longer than last season. The seal capes, with their high storm collars j faced with sable, are lined with flowered brocade instead of the customary brown satin lining-. Cloth capes lined with fur are to be worn. An imported cape of dark purple xdoth lined with gray, squirrel l.-in li.-id the collar and revers embroidered in black and gold and edged with black fox. Some of these capes are edged with a contrasting fur and finished with a deep vandyke collar of guipure lace. Long coats that reach to the bottom of the dress are very elegant and graceful, especially when made of velvet or fine cloth fitting closely in the back and faced with rich fur. One of these coats, of roy al blue cloth, is faced and lined with black fox, and another, of biscuit box cloth, is lined with mink. Fancy waists are just as fash ionable as ever. Although the entire gown of cloth is becom ing more the vogue; anything so useful as the extra waist could easily be put aside sud denly. The very simple square- necked waist m tne group is made of plain foulard silk, with two rows of lace insertion car- ricd across the front. The same i effect is brought out on the ! sma11 Putis ot tnc tSnt sleeves. 7 I Hie little Russian coat bodice is of ecru guipure " over golden brown satin. The lace sleeves are unlined, and -the revers, with their rounded points, are finished with little frillings of the lace over white satin. A full bow of white lisse is worn with it The other square necked bodice with, the full pleated collar, having two deep points that hang to the waist, is of jetted black net over cerise silk. A jetted band over black finishes the neck. The trans parent sleeves are finished at the hands by a jetted lace ruffle. The soft wrinkled belt , is of cerise crepe de Chine. The next waist is of pink pou de soie. It is a full blouse trim med with lace revers and inser tions of lace with tucks of silk between. It is fastened across on one side with enamelled but tons. The sleeves are tight fitting with only a small puff at the top and a deep pointed.'cuff of the lace at the hands. The narrow belt and stock collar are of velvet to match the silk. The bodice with the pointed bolero is tight fitting and has tucked elbow sleeves. The bod ice and sleeves are of. bright flqwered' brocade, and the bolero is'of plain pou de soie, match ing the light ground of the bro cade. This jacket is embroid ered in silks and sequins, in harmony with the colors in the brocade. New York Sun. woman's NEWEST NEED. "What do you think I saw a woman do in"the lobby of the theatre last night? "said a girl in a blue shirt waist to oiie in a duck suit as they came down town on a cable car together. "I'm sure I'd hate to try to guess,". answerered her compa nion, and every man opposite took care not to rustle His pa per when the reply came. 1 "Why, she had on one of these long jewelled chains. One of the very latest out," explain ed she of the blue shirt waist "It was such a beauty that mv attention was fastened on it so I noticed that she wore what I took to be an empire lorgnette and a dainty little gold bonbon niere attached to it. Imagine my horror when she" deliber ately stopped ' in the face of everybody, pulled a little mir ror out of the lorgnette, open- ed the bonbon box and tooK from it a tiny powder puff and looking at herself in the face. Did you ever hear of such a thing? "Why of course I did," was die reply. I do that myself now. It's the the swell thing to do.'1 In these days of empire the women all carried these lit tle mirrors and powder boxes and always touced up a bit be fore going to the opera. The Em pire hand mirror and powder box to be worn on a chatelaine are the latest thing out. Any one would know that you were just ' home from - the country. You haven't had time to catch on to all the new' fads, have you you poor dear? You should see my mirror .and powder box. The mirror is about as big as a silver half dollar and folds into what looks very like a short handled lorgnette. It is made of sold gold and1 embellished with precious gems and enamel, and the powder box matches it. You can't imagine vs'hat a com fortable fashion it ih to know that the shine is taken off vour j face before you go into a the atre, and really I think the men like the fad as well as we do. Of course, all the mirrors and powder boxes aren't so rich and expensive in design. They come made up in steel, silver, and plain gold, or you can get them worth hundreds of dollars. There is no excuse for the poor, the rich, or those with moderate circumstances who ere without these necessaries, for they are to be had at any and every price. Heally, I don't see how we did without them so long, and the leading jewellers say that they find it almost impos sible to supply- the demand, and " "Here we are at Goldsmith & Silverware's," interrupted the girl in the blue shirt waist. "Do let's go off and look at some. Hawaii's Leper Oolonj. If. the Hawaiian treaty of an nexation becomes an accepted fact , there will come into the domain of Uncle Sam a little island wdrich possesses a pathet ic interest that attaches to no other island in the world, says the Literary Digest. Bishop E j' R. tiendrix tells about it in The Independent, and we quote froiri his description : "Holokai, as is well known, is the name for the leper colony of Hawaii. The lepers do not occupy all the island, but only a grassy plain, ten miles in length, and varying from one to two miles in width, on the island, and yet separated whol ly from the rest of the island and its population by a preci pice fully a thousand feet high, which can be scaled at only one point, and here it is securely guarded.' . Despite their free dom from taxation and rents, their ample supplies of food and clothing, their abundant herds of cattle and horses and their fertile fields which require so little labor, the lepers are vir tually life-prisoners, shut in by the ocean on one side and by the impassable mountain on the other.' Most of the lepers are natives, but foreigners are found among the colonists, and all who once come to this part of Molokai, save to bring supplies or to inspect, as the Board of Health, twice each year, do so with the expectation of never returning. At a cost of some $10,000 per month the ' .Hawaii an Government maintains, this open-air leper hospital in order to perfectly quarantine and thus finally stamp out leprosy among the Sandwich Islanders. Shel tered from the strong , sea wind, this plain of Kalapapa would make an ideal place of residence, alike for its beautiful surround ings and the salubrity of its cli mate; and here everything is done, compatible with prevent ing the spread of the disease, to make its unhappy victims contented. But the heartrend ing wails of those who part with loved ones and friends for the last- time as they are about to be conveyed to Molokai tell the motto; of the Leper Asylum : 'All hope abandon, ye who en ter here.' "It lis stated that the first person to be removed to the leper island was a lawyer who had been active in securing the regulation which required' the reniovfil of lepers in order to joreveiit the spread of the dis ease.,'; No sooner did the unmis takable evidence of the dread diseask first appear than he in sisted on setting-the example of nitnnirkm in voluntarilv sur- rendering himself to be removed to Molokai, although some years might; have passed before his condition would have been L-nnwi to the public. The dis ease had made considerable in roads among the lower classes, and nothing but this heroic rem-o,Tt- nrnmised to suppress it effectually." CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Hungary's Eoyal Bones Stolsn- Bodies Spared by the Turks Sold EYi 4 a Dishonest xton. Extraordinary discoveries have been made in' Hungary with regard to the spoliation of the graves of the ancient kings. In 1869 the. archaeologist, Kok raan Henzelmann, searched for the graves of these long dead rulers, which had been dis turbed and partly destroyed by the Turks during their domin- V ' ion there in the Bishop of Stunl- weissenburg's garden. Stuhl- weissenburg is the old corona tion city. He found a number of stone coffins, and was able from the inscriptions to ascer tain that they were those of the old kings. He gave them to the care of the city authorities, after copying the inscriptions and fastening tickets with them into each skull. The mayor seems to have put all the grisly treasures pell mell into five large packing cases and to have thrown, the sarcophagi away. In 1872 the present mayor of Stuhlweissenburg learned that there were bones in the loft on the town hall. What was to be done with them? He examined the skulls and found what thev were. He addressed himself to the Chapter of Stuhlwessenburg, and the xakiiig cases were nailed up and placed in the vaults of the cathedral, and one of the deans was made respon sible for them. He never seems to have trouble about! them, however, and a drunken sexton became the real caretaker. In 1893 the professor of archaeology, Torok, received permission to take the bones to Budapest for his anthrogologi cal studies. It wTas then found that the seals had been torn from the boxes and they had been torn from the boxes, and they had been opened. Several skulls were missing, and; pack ing case No. 5 had been quite emptied. When the sexton was questioned, he said that his predecessor had told him that a student of medicine named Tuzkay had received permission from the dean to take some of the skeletons for his medical studies and that he had made a liberal use of the permission. This slander applies to a re spected doctor in Budapest, who has already proved that he is ouite innocent. Dean Johann Kardey declares that the re mains of King Mathias and Louis the Great are buried in a spnarate vault, and were not touched by the Turks. The Kings to whom the bones and skulls belonged which are ' now in such a deplorable condi tion, or altogether missing, are St. F.merich. the son of St. Ste phen, first King of Hungary, Kings Stephen, Koloman, Bela, Geiza II.. Ladislar II., btephen V., Bela II., Ladislas 111., and several other Princes of the Arnad liner There were also of ; a. - the line of Anjou Queen .Mary, wife of Robert Charles, her son, and her husband, Kings Albert, Ulvsses. Louis II., and John Zpolya,' whose corpse Achmed Pasha had flung out of the vault in 1G43. London Daily News.

The use of the fork dates back, only to the seventeenth century. The old Greeks, al though their civilization was very much advanced, ate with their fingers, as gracefully as possible. Plutarch mentions the rules to be followed when eating with the fingers, and this is one of the most interesting passages in his description of antique customs. In the Mid dle Ages people still ate with their fingers. It is true enough that ajblutious took place before and after a meal, but, still, that custom was anything but clean. Each of the guests at a dinner was first offered a basin and a pitcher of water, and it wTas bad form to help one's self to any of the viands before having carefully washed hands and ace. Goldsmiths finally invented forks, but at first they were ob- ects of luxury, and were used only at times when they might ust as well have been done without. The first mention of orks is made in a document dated 1300, which says that Pierre Gaveston, the favorite of Edward II. possessed three. "furchestes" (forks) for eating pears., cneese ana sanuwicnus. It wras more than three hundreu i . i r e 1 years later - Deiore ioi-ks weiu used for fish and meat. About the second decade of he seventeenth century a, pict- .i t- i t e ure or tne itoyai niutu ui France shows that he carried a case containing a knife, a spoon and what looks very much like a fork. Glasses and . drinking -cups were first made of wood or tin. In the fifteenth! century Venice manufactured the wonderful glassware, which replaced on the table of the "Seigneurs" the heavy oaken or metal cups formerly used. Egg cups were not known previous to the fif teenth century, and even in the sixteenth century they were mther scarce and had no dis- tjnet name. 1 hey were de- scribed as to place and hold an egg,' or ( I a silver thing to place an egg in. Salt cellars also date from the fifteenth century. troid smiths excelled in making ar tistic salt-cellars, and the. one inorlplpd for Kim? Francis I of France by Benvenuto Cellini was a wonderful' work of art. O A. .

The newspapers and politi cians aro beginning to think. of and talk about tho next cam paign, and tho proper course pursued to get rid of the pres ent official set, so far as tho election next year will do it. More than twenty years ago, when the administration of our public affairs was very bad, but no worse than now, if indeed so bad the Democrats of Wa tauga county, in convention as sembled, passed short resolu tions, only two of them, which were copied with approbation by the Democratic papers of tho StateJ and often referred to dur ing tho memorable campaign of 1870. Wo havo thought of them often in tho condition that we have been placed in" by tho defeat of the Democratic party. If there is ono thing in tho future that is certain, and that is reasonable, well-informed and candid men are bound to admit, it is that tho Democratic party is tho only party to which tho people of this State can look for good government. There aro good men in other parties, but good men, 'capable men, do not control tho other parties, and the fusion of the other parties has given us more incompetent men in public placo and ofiico than tho State and its counties ever had before. But to tho "Watauga r resolutions. They wero in substance, if' not in ex act language, as follows : Resolved, 1, That we aro op posed to tho set now in. Resolved, 2, That wo favor anybody who can beat them. That is about our condition now. We will not charge cor ruption in the administration of our public affairs, J)oth State, and of counties in the State, but it is notorious that incompeten cy, and extravagance and blun dering carelessness are to be found iii more places than ever before known in our State. o do not charge corruption, out of great charity, for thero arc certainly evidences to warrant the charge. Whatever may bo determined on as the campaign policy of the Democratic party, if it is at all wisely adopted, We have faith in tho honesty and I wl c niun r f tlm nnnrtlo tlmfc f j, m defeat the present bungling ad ministration of our public af fairs.
