TIDE OF EARLY SPRING SETS IN ON RIVIERA Dressmakers Are Turning Out Pretty Costumes as Sam v pies Fur The Coming Season. , (By the COUNTESS CARLO DI CADI) Nice, March 28. We are now in the full tide of early spring, and the Ri viera tolllettes are Indicative of this, although we shall still have some wind and, It may be, some rain. Our dress makers are turning out some quaintly original and pretty things to be worn here on Promenades des Anglais and at the Casino at Monte Carlo new Ideas in endless combination which presently all the world's wife will bo wearing in PaVis. Tailor-mades are, during the coming season, to have a greater vogue than ever, but they are to be made largely In voile or etaniine, transparent tissues which, surprisingly enough, fall with al lthe flowing line of a fine cloth or serge, Most of us now really only tike tailor-mades for going out in, and it Is a real pleasure, once the finer days come, to slip Into such a loose garment of transDorent tissue lined with a sim ple nioUi'illne de sole; and this new style of tailor-made Is destined to tt great success, for it Is atjonce pret ty and practical.: ' The new vests are of medium-length and are slightly cut away in front, even when, instead of being round as last year, rectangular. " Of course they are profusely trimmed with embroidery, appliques, passementerie and bands of cloth, taffetas or braid. The cut of the back is at one and the same time Em pire and Louis XV., and the basques havo a number of pleats carried to somewhat- H'gher than the waist. These waistcoats are nearly always in a different shade from the costume, and I have seen some very charming ones in silk, which were perfect copies of ancient stuffs, in byzantine embroid ery, guipure with appliques of colored cloths, etc. All the costumes of the coming sea son are to be trimmed with quantities of stuff buttons made of fine or coarse passementerie. Skirts are to be seen made in panels with buttons from top to bottom and small waistcoats ah-o tiimmed with buttons. Sleeves will be tight this season fr m the elbow down,: continuing flat on the top. The guimpes and undersleevei white, in light', fine : tissues,' pleated lengthwise. Some most elegant little blouses have been made to go with our tailor-made, simple enough to put an other garment easily on or off. Al though sometimes of the same shade as the costume, they have a very dressy effect, A shade that Is going to be popular Is what is known as "vert pre" in taf fetas, and the small waistcoats in this material In empire stylo and with or without belt are very elegant. The short skirts that most women have now exclusively adopted for morning wear and for walking exer cise are pleated, but they are more clinging than before in the upper por tion, outlining the form to about half way, when they go off In little fussy pleats. These skirts with the short waists now in vogue and low coiffure j make our fashionable ladles with their slim figure look like young girls who are still growing. White Is to be worn more than ever this spring, and also black and white no our masters decree but there will also be a very fair sprinkling of soft est grays, fauns and old blues In soft, silky materials and soft woolen stuffs. Laces of all kinds sheafs and floods of lace sleeve consisting of masses of lace, and skirts elaborately trimmed with It are, I see, to be features of the coming season. Hats with high crowns are to be more prominent than ever in both meanings of the term. Different shades of chestnut are going to be favorites for hat trimmings. A hat I saw the other day on a very beautiful girl, al though quite simple, had great "catchet." It was In the finest black straw, with very high crown and nar row brim, surrounded by a mass of deep blue taffetas being fixed to the side. Fine straws of all dainty shades will be seen. For our prettiest women who dress with effect some astonishing surprises have been seen lately. A robe worn by Mme. Andree Megard In the new piece, "La Femme Nue," shows to what lenKth the new style of clinging dresses can be taken. Her dress looks to the observer simply like a long fold of pink crepe do chine bound round and round the bodx in the Greek stylo, leaving one shoulder bare, It Is ex tremely beautiful and graceful, but Is rather trying to any but such a beau ' tlful woman as Andree Megard, and therefore the style Is hardly likely to become common. Again for women who can wear them a new and very dainty fashion Is that of a soft draper fichu in some "flou" material which Is fastened In the front often with a couple of roses. For some, however, this would not do at all; it would only look clumsy. Paper Between Richmond and Atlanta With Leased US! IF raim (By Cable to The Times.) Essen, March . 28. Baron Krupp Persia, who may lose his throne or his life any day, is treating the po litical' situation with calmnass and : almost with indifference; I But for the last week terror has reigned in the palace of Teheran; for the Shah has lost Tamara a loss of $25,003. That is what he I paid for her, when he was still : crown princa and she the daughter of a poor laborer in the vineyards near Tlflis. Tamara was taught to si:ig and dance; no work ever spoiled her pretty, idle hands. When the Shah' came to the throne he made her chief favorite. She gave him two sons. One fine night, bribing her guardians, she fled from the palace. In spite of all the Shah's efforts she has not been traced. The . accom-J plices who aided her flight have been beheaded. Scores of servants have b?en beaten half to death. Valiant captains, . who were guarding the throne, have been sent out to scour the countryside with troops. But Tamara has vanished com pletely. The Shah is said to be al most indifferent at the bombs thrown at him as ha rides out in his capital city. He thinks only of Tamara. , SHAKESPEARE SHAFT ' " SITE IS SELECTED , (By Cable to The Times.) Paris, March 28. The Shah ; of memory of Shakespeare Is to be ade quately honored . by a monument: worthy of his greatness. In 1906 the terecentenary of his death, a splendid memorial, costing $500,000 will be unveiled in London as the tribute of the whole English-speaking world and of foreigners who love' Shakespeare--to the memory of the bard. By a world-wide sub scription it is proposed to raise one million dollars, of which half is to be spent on the monument. Thl( will take the form of an architectu ral design with a statue, after the style of the Queen Victoria memo rial now being created in St. James' Park. The commission for the de sign will be awarded by open com petition among architects and sculp tors In Great Britain, the colonies and America. A fine site has been selected for the monument in Park Crescent, ad joining Regent's Park and looking down the Imposing vista of Portland Place. King Edward has consented to the removal of the statue of his grandfather, the Duke of Kent, which at present stands on this site. Would Bar Alcohol From Africa. (By Cable to The Times) Berlin, March 28 Doctor Zle niann, medical referee for the Ger man colonies In Africa, advocates an international agreement to the effect that "the poisoning of African na tives by alcohol be stopped for all time.'.' As to the German colonies he Insists that the importance of alcohol in every form, either by German or foreign firms ar individuals be pro hibited If such alcohol be Intended for sale to the natives. Women Writers Win Fame. (By Cable to The Times) London, March 28 While women are waiting for the franchise they are winning much more substantial things. The writing of plays, which In England Is much the most profi table kind of literature, Is passing rapidly into their hands. "Diana of Dobson's," the greatest London success of the year, is the work of Cicely Hamilton. "When Knights Were Bold," another recent success, Is from the pen of Harriet Jay, who writes under the name of "Charles Marlowe." RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1908. FACTIONALISM IN POLITICS (By MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.) Washington, March 28. It la un fortunate that on account of per sonal rivalries the interests of the great political parties are often Jeop ardized. These feuds have often contributed largely to the defeat of both the republican and the demo cratic parties. No one was ever able to gratify his aspirations to this extent without having opposition in the person of some other influential leader,''" The defeat of personal ambitious would be of little consequence, but when a party is defeated by internal fac tionalism, the consequences are more ! to be regretted and it would be well for these great political orgauiza- tlons to weigh carefully the Claims of each candidate to know positively what would be their course in the event of their success. Oftentimes, through manufactured popularity, conventions blindly yield : tde in a Siberian .'silver-mine, and is I to what they suppose is a clamor for j ;lll.0.l(,v (m , w,lV lo -nmt dlslant certain men to be the leadefs, when, as a matter of fact, those persons j fl0!"

If men could be nobis enough to get together and unite for the best interest of the nation, setting aside personal ambitions for the public good, we should sea very different results and could in a measure an ticipate what the future might bring forth. The v great embarrassment from which this country suffers is that every four years the whole country is in a state of excitement and anx iety over the result of a presidential campaign that should not caua the least disturbance in the even lenor of business interests, but VSsli, through :v'FKe machinations' ' and schemes of rival parties, interferes with public and private interests, and affects the public weal most un favorably, bringing about panics and financial distress. The country has become so popu lous and the interests so diversified that it does seem that something must be done in the hear future to save the republicans from disaster, or we may have to realize that in this country self-government is a failure. . ' . As all political parties are com posed of an association of men who entertain similar views on questions of politics, it is strange that they sometimes allow themselves, where in connection, to be influenced by popular clamor that has been well worked up by some ambitious per son and his followers into nominat ing a man whose record, politically, has always been inconsistent. The cry of reform is invariably started and led by ambitious persons who hope, by ringing the changes of righteousness and honesty, to create suspicion of dishonesty in all who occupy high places and eventually to succeed them. It is a curious fact that they suc ceed nine times out of ten In bring ing discredit upon the old leaders and in getting themselves elected successors to tried and consistent party representatives. For a brief time they create wild enthusiasm by their crusades in the name of re form. They do not hesitate to make wholesale charges of dishonesty upon all classes of business men to whom the country is indebted for its progress and : prosperity ; they ap peal to the lowest and indigent classes by catering to the prejudices of the "ne'er do well," who are ever ready to join in a warfare against their employers. Once in power they disregard party fealty and undertake to estab lish their own individual policies without regard to precedent or con sequences to the representative peo ple of the nation or the decisions of the supreme court. The fate of the party who put them In power is completely ignored unless the party is ready to espouse the ruinous polcies proposed and which are diametrically opposed to the principles of the party putting them . In pqwer, and which have brought so much happiness and prosperity to the whole people. Such nominations almost without exception end disastrously to ,the party and the person so elevated be. cause of the fact that they know no restraint and are completely carried away by their own conceit. j slums of Westminster, and to preach I believe I am correct when I say ,n one ot tne poorest parts lmmedl (Continued on Paga Two.) ately on his return. OF (By Cable to The Times) Berlin, Mar. 28. The recent regi ment meted out to the young artist, the son of a well-known Munich merchant, who has been found guil ty of caricaturing the Czar, seems scarcely in proportion to the crime. We in more civilized countries are so accustomed to. the caricatures of the great, that, it a pears inconceiv able that it should be looked upon as even a .reprobate action, but in Rus sia it is different, and the Czar, who specially lends himself to caricature, lias exacted the utmost punishment that could be indicted on the young i man, and his parents have received news that, for drawing pict ures in a I Nihilist paper their son has been con-' 'detuned to fifteen years'; penal servi-j ..... . .. . calkul "leso majeste," mid, instead of the heavy penalties.; which were hith erto imposed, -the matter is over looked as unimportant.

The Kaiser himself described Mrs. Tower as the "von Moltke of socie ty," and added "the greatest social leader of my reign." And truly It required all the Trans atlantic wit, sparkle and vivacity to introduce into the somewhat heavy Berlia society the brilliancy, the Im aginative fun and power of enjoy ment which characterized her social life. ..'.: - The emperor's friendship has been marked almost .from the beginning of Mr. and Airs. Tower's career in Ber lin. During the first winter they spent in their beautiful house the Kaiser honored the American ambas sador with his company, and an nounced his intention of "resetting foot on American sail" each succeed ing year, a promise which he has in variably kept. . The last ball given in Berlin by Mrs. Tower was the flower ball, at which every lady guest represented a blossom. : Mr. and Mrs. Tower have decided to retire to America, where they will give up their diplomatic career to de vote themselves to the education of their children. .... The Bishop of London has been visiting the English colony iu bt. Petersburg. He has hold a confirmat ion there in the English church, and has won golden opinions in Russia as in America. His charm of manner, un affected interest, and the extraordi nary tact with which he finds the right word for all, have captivated not only the British colony, but the highest officials and the lowest in habitants of that wonderful city. On the Feast of the Purification he assisted at the service In t lie cathed ral of St. Isaac, and was given a place at the altar and received by Bishop Vladimir. - The Bishop of London was vested In golden mitre and brocade cope. After the great service at St. Isaac's the bishop traveled by special train to the imperial palace at Tsars-koe-Selo for an audience with the cznr and czarina. The empress, who has been ill was specially delighted to be able to converse on English questions with the bishop. He afterward had a long and inti mate talk with the czar, which large ly dealt with the agrarian question and the czar's anxiety that the peas ants should obtain possession of their own lands. Dr. Ingram has especially empha sized the fact that he was impressed by tho extraordinary religious devo tion among the people. It Is characteristic to find that the bishop of London has already prom- ised to accompany the tramp of the church army officials through the PUNISHMENT T Wire and Full Press Dispatches A. & M.

Professor Steph Ledue, the physiologist, is publish ing the results of extensive .experi ments showing that it. is an easy matter to produce sleep by elect ric ity.

Up to now he experimented on animals only. "By weak electric currents that may be shut, off several limes in a second." says the Professor, "the ac tivity of the brain may be paralyzed for minutes, or for whole hours. When the current, is shut off, the animal experimented on awakens immediately. When the current is increased, the activity of the heart ceases but the functions Of the res piratory organs continue. A further increase, though, stops breathing. I At that moment the experlm3nt.nl ; animal- is entirely unsensitive. Jt is lifeless without being dead.
