G. MYERS, Cashier THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CLOTHES. Wm Mr*. Chadwick's Success Da* I* Her Knowledge «f tke Art el Dress? Chlracc Cbnmklr. With reason Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch ascribes one secret oi Mrs. Chadwick’s pow er to the impressive character of her dress. "The woman who wears good clothes,” says Mrs. McCulloch, 'and rustles and wears a smile can make a vic tim of any man she chooses. Mrs. Chadwick did what a ababby-geuteel woman could not have done.” Of course, this abuse of power does not militate against tbe wearing of good clothes. It only shows the power of dress ana its psychological effect. The woman who is well gowned, whatever the condition of her purse, has an immense advan tage in every station ‘of life over the woman who is common place in her dress. But let no woman think that loud, obtruaive clothes fill the bill. These betray the parvenu, the would-be aristocrat, who baa not yet "arrived." The suc cessful woman knows just how far to have h« clothes im pressive without overshadowing net personality. They are her aids, her subordinates, not her superiors. They express what she wishes expressed and are - reticent when she withes to keep silence. Mrs. Chadwick understood to perfection tke art of dress, so far as using it as a means to tha one end At bad in view was concerned. She worked men, not women. She dressed for aen, not women, and therein Hen a difference not easily de fined. Sensitive es the overage wo man is to tbe effect of dress and foed as she may be of weariug fine garments, she is not as easily impressed and "taken in” by the well-dressed woman ae Is tbe average man. She is more critical as to details, and she knows from her own ex perience that effect is constant ly studied ead may or may not mean a good bank account. Still, II hard-headed business men have repeated experiences with women of tbe Chadwick type, they will soon become as discerning and is wiry of wo uieu who wear "good clothes that rustle" as they are Im pressed aud misled by them. It will then be necessary for feminine tricksters to don gar ments of the Hetty Green type and work their methods In bumbler goise. The rustling gown will not always prevail. Tnrtk About Santa Claws. Woman', Rows Caantalea. I write myself down as one who still believes in Santa Claus. Don’t you? Are you one of those very literal folks who have their doubts whether they ought to let their children cling to the beautiful old myth? My dear, wherever you arc, come sit down by me, and let me reason with you. Without imagination, without dreams, without poetry, this old world of ours would be steeper than it is—much like sfeigbiog ever bare gTound would our pro gress be, as compared with sleighing * over deep, hard packed snow. The poetic myth of the old saintj with his reindeer and bis jingling bells and his bulging pack of toys and bonbons, has charmed a thousand generations. The stockings hung by the chimney on Christmas eve; the children staying awake until sleep poupces on them like a •troag man armed; the presents Ailing them from top to toa in the morning; (be rush of the bare feet Hurrying fast across the merry uproar; the babbling laughter; the shouts of joy—the whole of this family »o <J«ar old Santa CMna. We owe It to him. "s ^ *o,deo of childhood clear before the sun. and the "trailing ctouds of glory" fade, our small men and women discover that Santa Claus is not one but ten thous and; that he is better than they ka#», being lost the spirit of ^yj-Jtnod will and beautiful an •elfish nets, that makes the wosld a beautiful place to Hve °.ow' makes it a good •tartiwg point for heaven by aud by. ftw yon and me there la *!* It's $1.50 a year now. POST ARTHUR STRONO AS SIX SEVASTOPOL. Cm-rtf andante Say tha Tasts at lb* Jaaanaaa Army at Port Art bar Almost Stagger Balls! — "Incomparably Oaliaat," Says Toga. N«» York Tiara. Tokio. Dec. 20.—Foreign cor rcspendcnts iast retnroed from Port Arthur declare that fortress to be the strongest place ever besieged. They say the things accomplished by the Japanese almost stagger belief, even when seen. They do not think any other army in tbe world would have made such progress under such conditions. They compare Port Arthur with six Sevastopol*, all situated on hills and arranged in mutual ly supporting groups connected by tramways and tekepbonea, and backed by a massive wall tbit masks tbe movements of troops from one to another. Port Arthur undoubtedly will be captared, but meanwhile tbe correspondents strongly depre cate the oversanguine tone of the journals which, ever since Au gust, have been creating the ex pectation of a speedy redaction of the fortress, thereby depriving tbe Third Army ot a part of the credit due to its really wondciful achievements. Indignation has been aroused in Japan in consequence of tu mors that Holland is about to place Sabang at tbe disposal of tbe Baltic Fleet. A prominent jonrnal argues that, failtog to receive just treatmedt from so called neutrals, Japan’s duty is to adopt measures of self-pro tection. All the Japanese journals eom mentiug on Togo’s announce ment of the destruction of the fighting power of Russia's Pa cific Squadron and the conse quent release of a portion of the blockading Meet, strongly eulog ize the long, unflagging efforts by which (bis result has been achieved just in lime to allow a brief respite before the navy has to meet the Baltic Fleet. Jn particular they applaud Togo’s generous language in emphatically attributing final success to the investing army, to which he applies the epithet "incomparably gallant.” The papers say such language toward the sister service is worthy of a true soldier and constitutes the best guarantee of elective co operation between the Army and Navy. Details of tha recent torpedo attacks upon the battleship Sevastopol show that the seas constantly broke over the decks of the torpedo boats, and that the clothing of the men during the continuous snowstorm froze immediately, impeding motion. Six searchlights turned from three directions upon the Sevas topol showed that ahe was lying close in shore in six fathoms. She had protection netting on | three sides only. Catawba liyar.. Vorkrtll*. 8. C.. Knnnl ret.»JrJ. Catawba river wei frozen oyer last Tuesday for the first time since February 1892; but it doe* not require anything like as much cold to freeze the river now a* formerly—at least aot in that portion affected by back water from the dam of the Ca tawha Power Company, This information cornea from Mr. Q. L. Suggs, who lives near Wright’s ferry. He was in Yorkville on Wednesday and talked interestingly about the river, with which he had been acquainted nearly all of bis life, "It used to be,* said Mr. Snggs "that the river froae over only in intensely cold weather, aud it would tske a spell of about a week to do tbc work. That was the situation in Febru ary 1802. Ice formed to e thick neat of about 2H inches and then came a fall of suow. Peo ple were able to walk across on the ice and a great many did so; but your bumble servant was not among the number. "The building of the dam baa changed eo adit ions very comrid erably. We have not had a practical deraou stration until this year; but the weather ha* not beeu anything like aa cold at in 1802. With •uch weather a* we had in IBM, I think the river would aow be frosen to a thickness of 3 or 0 Inches instead of ooly2|4 inches theu. It would be thick enough to allow the driving of loaded wagons aciosa la *afety. Thomas B. Watson has in* corporated in New York a company to publish and einwlata a monthly periodical.

A show girl engaged for a forthcoming Ne a York pro duction was dismissed some time ago on the statement from the manager, so she asserts, tuot she was uot beautiful enough, and, needle*-; to say, she straightway sued the un feeling and unappreciative man ager for damages. A question arises as to wheth er or not she, or auy other wo man for that matter, is entitled to compensation for any slnr east n|»on her pcrsoual pulchri tude. Par be it from one with the slightest amateur knowledge of law to disease the legal as pects oi a problem ao intricate. But from the point of view of outraged femininity the young lady is undoubtedly entitled to the heaviest damages alia can collect. Sntc1y in the' tyfMl every man with the least claim to gal lantry all women are beautiful. True, in the iamost privacy of their hearts they may admit that some sre lovelier thau others. But all women are beautiful. Klse wherein lies the efficacy of "rata," false hair, rouge, eye brow pencils, and all the in numerable paraphernalia of the modern belle? It is conceivable that the circumstances might arise un der which it would be pardon able, though not proper to mention to a lady that her broth er had been lynched for horse itfllinff. finder ctlffiri«hl news. vocation one might even be for given for implying that the casone of Minerva covered more wisdom than her own carefully fluted pompadour. But tell her that sbe is not beautiful? Never, while there is an atom of chivalry in the human breast. To be beautiful i* the supreme desire of the feminine heart, the ultimate aim of her existence. Aud when she has devoted davs, mouths, and years to accomplish Hus purpose there should be no man brute euough to intimate that she has failed. Besides, bow can any one man decide what is or is not beanti fnl? There arc just as many standards of beauty as there are inen and women. Savages have a decided preference for high cheek bones and flattened noses, the Mongolian race for safiroa complexions and slanted eyes. Bvnr among ciyilized races there could not be two things inure widely divergent than ine popu lar and artistic standard of beauty—the one roand, rosy, the other long, languorous, aud none too well led. It matters not how beautiful a stage favorite may be, when she ■ace* a new audience lor the first time there will always be found persons who will go awsy declaring that they don’t understand what tbe public see' in her to rave over. And they will be thoroughly sincere in their bewilderment. On the other hand, there it scarcely a newly made chorus girl too green or gawky to at tract favorable attention from OB* of two person* in the bonne. Could there be a greater dif ference tb an that which exists between the ideals ol men and women, the turner admiring eo mnssc, the Utter in detail. There is no absolute standard of beauty. That offense is merely the standard of regulari ty. which may, oi course, Tm co existent with beauty, but is by uo means necessary to It. Surely tastes are divergent enough for every woman to be considered beautiful by some one besides herself. WIHIHfl mil COTTOH. Farmers ef City CMMty, 6a..

The Syri.dli.ld Lynchers Have nJSSinKS?111*"***• In March last Springfield ((X) bad a moK flgrant caae of lynch, log of negroea, doe to race hat* fed. The benighted and bar barous South never showed np worse in respect ot such a mat ter, all things considered; ana professing to be horrified over tbe outrage, the "better element* of Springfield swore n mighty that the perpetrators should be speedily aud mosur ily punished. Springfield was to set tbe world an example of swift justice and clear its retra tation at any coat, and suffer who might. Jt was in evidence, nndenied and undeniable, in fact, that the civil authorities bad ignoainiously failed to do tbeir doty in protecting the man and the brother from tbe vengeance of tbe mob. A grand jury was summoned and scored these de linquents. bat did not indict any of them. Then commenced a most ridiculous farce, consisting of a long drawn-oat and con tinuous effort on Che part of the various authorities to dodge the blame, each official striving to put it ou tbe ocher fellow. At tbe same time it appears that each fellow eras perniciously ac tive in avoiding doing anythiog that would militate against tbe cause of the rioters. Tbe grand jury, with a good deal of bombast and fustian, also paw tbe judge of the local crim inal court a "setting ud” for hav ing m tbe post been too lenient with criminals, and finally, in a burst of duty and face-saving In dicted several men merely for rioting, when the judge who had been the object oi tbe gTaiid jury's criticism bad pointed out that the offense of the indicted was murder, no more and no le<s. Now, after all these months. ;mr of the rioters, who was nnder indictment, lias been brought to irial, and in the face of tbe judge’s declaration that tbe de feudant’s guilt was established, the petit jury has acquitted him. The whole affair, from beginning to end, goes to prove that public sentiment, from tbe highest to tbe lowest classes, was with the rioters and is another most strik ing and significant commentary on Northern reflection pon the South’s failure to punish lynch m.
