Tho officials of tho Cotton Elates'
Exposition, to be hold at Atlanta, On.,
this year, reoeivo a great many unique
-suggestions from people who wish to
help them. A Texas man, for in
stunco, wishes to drive ten white
horses taudom through all the South
ern States, making a tour of niuo
months, visiting every town and ham
let. The horses are to bo richly capar
isoned, and tho lender is to carry a
banner with nmiituble legend announc
ing that ho is on his way to the Expo
sition. Tho reports of the officers of tho
army, who are serving as Indian
agents, go to show, to tho New Or
leans Ticayuue, that the detailing of
military mon for such work was a wise
and salutary thing. The officers prove
to be above the corrupting influences
whioh are bronght to bear on them,
and prompt to do the work they are
ent to do, in spite of the complaints
that are lodged against them. The sale
of whiskey on the reservations has
been one of the greatest sources of
trouble in the past, and Captain W.
X. Cook, in charge of tho Blackfoot
agency, reoently took vigorous meas

tho task, but in doing it he broke np
-a whole village. Sinoe Octobor, 1883,
no liqnor ha been sold there. The
etore and the liquor shops wero closed
and the proprietors of the latter sent

ports that the most beneficial results

to work, and are better physically and
morally.

their feelings under ooutrol, and are

of the greatest men of genius were
celibates, their passion for Knowledge

I'M GROWING OLD.
Mr days pass plensnntly awnvt
My nights are blessed with sweetest

My growing tntk of olden times,
My growing thirst for enrly news.
My growing npnthy to rhymes,
My growing love of easy shoes,
My growing hate of crowds nnd noise,
My growing fenr of Inking cold,
All whisper In the plainest volce
I'm growing old!
I'm growing fonder of my stnffs
I'm growing dimmer In the eyes;
I'm growing fnlnter in my Inugh;
I'm growing deeMr In my sighs;
I'm growing enreless In my dress;
I'm growing frngnl of my gold;

K'on flattery's honeyed words declnro
The secret she would fain w ithhold.
And tells me In "How young you ore!"

Thanks for the years! whose rnpld flight

Those henvenly mnnsions to unfold
Where all are blest and none may sigh,

Ho hnd a queer

of wrinkles, nnd
littlo bhick eyes,
with a scanty al
lowance of lushes,
that looked at you
like gllHtoulnj

fldo a love tnlo to, nor to sympathize
with the tender outpourings; nnd how
udge rvihnm ever enmo to bo tho
father of a glorious girl like Kuto, with
tho beauty of Ilobe, was a riddle that
we leave to those learned In physiology
and psychology.
"Ves, sir," said Hugh Kearney, bravo-
ly. "I am In lovo with her, and If I am
so fortunate as to gain your permis

"Stop!" said tho old ;ontlomiin. "Not
so fast Ono thing at a time, young sir.
What havo you got?"
"A strong arm, Blr, and a brave heart,
together with, I hope, at least, an aver
age amount of brains."
"Very good stock In trade," answer
ed tho Judge, still regarding Mr. Kear
ney with tho little hnrd glistening
bead of eyes. "Aba, Mr. Cnrleton, Is
that you? Walk In and sit down. I'll
bo disengaged presently."
"Then you will give my caso a fa
vorable consideration. Judge," said
Hugh, rising to depart
"I will, sir."
And Hugh went out a tall, hand
come fellow, with pleasant dark eyes
nnd a firm, squarely cut chin, which
betokens no ordinary amount of reso
lution and will.
Kent Car let on sat In the office, un
easily glancing over the Inrge russet
bound volumes, when the Jndge de
liberately turned himself round In bis
revolving chair.
He, too, was handsome, with
straight, effeminate features, blue
eyes and wavy balr.
"I have called, air, on very Impor
tant business," began Kent, hesitat
ingly. "Eh! What may It bo?" deliberate
ly questioned the Judgo. Kent would
have given all he was worth if the
brown old man would have put on a
pair of spectacles. Those beady eyes
confused nnd bewildered him.
"Ifa about your daughter, Kato,
sir," said Cnrleton. "I love her, and If
you have no objections"
"Ah," said the Judgo, "exactly so.
Of course you have means to support
a wife?"
"As to means, sir, I am yet only be
ginning the world; but I have expecta
tions, and, added to that, I am alout
to commence the prnctleo of tho pro
fession In which you havo reached so
brilliant a position!"
He bowed. The Judge was still
transfixing him with the beady eyes.
"You may go. I'll let you know my
decision to-morrow."
Curleton's footsteps had hardly dlod

Judge opened a door to the left of hluo

papers splashed with scurlut seals like
magnified drops of blood.
"Well, papa?"
"Do you want to get married, pot?"
"Well, pnpn, I hardly kuow whether
I do or not!" she answered reflect
ively. "Ueeauso I've had two young men

"Two young meu, papal Who were

"Doth eligible, as far ns outward

In too much ready-mndn money."
"Hut you have not told me yet who
they are!"
"Hugh Kearney nnd Kent Carleten,"
answered the Judge. "Which do you
like better of the two?"
"Why, pnpn. I like them both. Hugh
Is ft good, solid fellow, and Kent has so
much stylp."
"Ittit you can't marry 'em both!"
"Pnpn," laughed Kate, coming close
up so thnt her sutis fairly overflowed
the brown face with tho bendy black
eye, "you choose for mo. I really
haven't any actual preference In tho
matter. I could like either of them;
nnd, after nil, It Isn't like selecting a
lover, because I can make up my mind
any time."
"So you want the old dad to select for
you, do you? Well, well, I'll think It
over and let you know."
Tho Judgo put on his hnt and went
out for n walk In tho summer twilight
to clear his brain of tlio cobwebs In
duced by his day's work.
"Hullo!" ho cried, ns ho nearly stum
bled over n meditative old Irishman,
who wns standing staring about hliu
with a rngged old waterproof cont
hnnglng on his arm. "What do you
mean by obstructing tho highway In
that sort of fashion, Hannegan?"
"Faith, It's I thnt axes your honor's
pardon kindly, but sorra n bit I knows
where I'm goln'. Perhaps your honor
could tell me."
"How the mischief do you suppose I
can tell you, If you don't know your

"They're lawyers like your honor,"
went on the persistent Hnnnegnn; "nnd

I'll do ns much for yon,' snys she, 'for

"Oh!" ejaculated tho Judge; "Carlo

where they live, nnd I'll go nlong with
you and show you, If you'll lend me

"Sure, your honor, It's too ragged

"Thnt's my business," snld the Judge,
alertly transforming himself Into un

overgarment of Terrenco Hnnnegnn.
"Now, look here, If you call me any
thing but Larry Ilclrdon I'll send you
to the lockup for twenty days."
Terivnce started nnd grinned:
"All right, yer "
"Stop!" roared tho Judge.
"I mane Larry! And Is this the door,
sir? I would bo after saying, Mister
ltolrdon?"
"This hi the door. Terry."
And without knocking the Judge
pushed Terry Into tho hotel reading
room, where ho stood with his bend
drawn In between his shoulders and
nenrly covered by tho Irishman's too
Inrge hnt, while Hnnnegnn boldly con
fronted the young men.
Cnrleton wns writing a letter, Kenr
ney snt tipped back on his chair looking
over tho paper, and ono or two others
wero lounging about, grumbling at tho
dismal monotony of tho village in
which they found themselves becalmed
over night.
"Money!" ejaculated Cnrleton, Irrita
bly, as the Irishman made known his
errand. "What money? It's but a Ut

must be a mero trlUe owing now!"
"It's five dollars, sir five dollars and

"Hang your receipts, man I've no

"For shnme, Cnrleton!" spoke up
Hugh Kearney. "Pay what you owe
the woman. Would you let her and bet
littlo ones starve?"
"It don't hurt that clnss of rxoplo
to starve," heartlessly answered Carlo
ton. "As for tho little ones, the less
we havo among us to pay taxes for, the
beth-r! It isn't convenient for me to
settle the account to-day that's

And he turned away and bent over
his writing again, a little uneasy be
neath the withering look of scorn dart
ed nt him from Hugh Kearney's eyes.
"Como hero, my man," snld tho lat
ter, addressing Terry Hnnnegau, who
stood scratching his bead In sore per

"It's only two dollars and a half, sir,

SHORT-LIVED FORTUNES.
Bow the Millions of the Croesns-LIke
Bonanza Kings Have Dwindled,
While the accumulation of wealth In
the hands of a few Is an evil that should
be vigorously combated, there are not
lacking Indications that It coutalns
within Itself tho seeds of Its own de
struction. Fnmllies like the Astors
thnt fasten themselves like nbelones on
a single spot and suck out the resources
of a community from generation to
generation, nre happily rare, aud the
conditions that permit them to subsist
may be enslly altered by legislation.
Tho difficulty of maintaining great ag
gregations of capltnl Intact under or
dinary circumstances has been strik
ing Illustrated In San Francisco.
A few yours ago, among many largo
accumulations of wealth In this town,
eight stupendous fortunes stood con
spicuously pre-eminent the four rail
road fortunes of Stanford, Hunting
ton, Croker and Hopkins, and the four
bonnnza fortunes of Flood, O'Brien,
Mnckny nnd Fair. The wildest Ideas
prevailed concerning tho size of these
loards. Stanford anil Huntington were
commonly supposed to be worth nt
least $100,000,000 nplece. At one time
Mackay was called tho richest mnn In
the world, nnd his wenlth wns figured
as high as $000,000,000. This estimate
was based on the rensonnblo Idea of
taking thodlvldendson his mlnlngstocks
as the Interest on a cnpltal sulllclcnt to
produce such returns nt ordinary rates,
and perhnps allowing for n geometrical
Increase on tho previously observed
scale.
Of these hugo fortunes only thnt of
Iluutlngton remains undiminished In
the original hands. Mackay Is living,
but his wealth, actual and reputed, has
shrunk until he sometimes finds It
hard to lay hands nt short notice on
3,000,000 or $4,000,000 In ready cash.
The Stanford estate tins been generous
ly dedicated to public uses. The
Crocker estato has to support several
families and several expensive estab
lishments. The Hopkins estate Is prob
ably smaller now than when Mark
Hopkins died. Flood and O'Brien saw
their wealth diminish to ordinary pro
portions before their death, and their
heirs are not conspicuous now among
the multi-millionaires. The shrewdest
and hardest of the bonanza kings has
Just died, and his wenlth will be di
vided Into several pnrts In any case,
and may be all swallowed up by the
legal talent that has displayed such ab
sorbent ability In the Jessup and
Blythe cases.
On tho whole, tho American atmos
phere, favorable as It is to the accumu
lation of vast fortunes, does not appear
particularly to promote their perpet

ONE of the daintiest of old

made so loosely of nnlined chiffon
that thoy slip over the most elaborate
headdress, falling about the fnce in
becoming curves of cloudy softness.
Nothing could be more beooming.
The fashion is revived from the time
of powdered hair and white wigs, but
it is as becoming now as it was then.
Three other models of headwear are

cert, and, besides, is generally service
able. The upper of the trio is of
black spangled tulle, loosely draped
over the orown, with a brim of mor
dore velvet ribbon faced with violet
satin. Tho latter is also employed
for the large side loops. Five small
velvet dahlias und a fancy aigrette
also trim the toque. The crown of
the left-hand toque is formed of black
ostrich tips and wide violet taffeta
ribbon. The tips of the plumes
frame the brim prettily in front, and
the ribbon forms large, soft puffs thnt
are fastened with rhinestne buckles.
The tie Btrings are of black velvet
ribbon. Last, and bost of all, per
haps, comes a hat of black felt trel
lised with chenille, having a rose
glace velvet crown. The felt brim is
waved daintily and the garniture con
sists of black plumes placed on either
side and a small velvet rosette pnt in
baok.
TTTRRE STYLISH BATS.
Spring hats nre made of rough
straw, or a mixture of straw and folt
braid. Velvet bonnets and hats will
be worn until late in the season, and
there are some extremely pretty
shirred bonnets and hats of thjok,
gauzy stuff in spring colors, with
spring blossoms and twigs for trim
ming. Turban shapes are popular,
and some of the new models have
brims in coronet effect This a style
that is always liked, as it is becoming
to very many persons. The Mary
Btuart shape and the close-fitting bon
net that has not been out of fashion
for the last quarter of a century, are
among the standard imports in this
line.
A great deal of ribbon will be used
as trimming and velvet in profusion,
Rosettes are still worn, but are less
foshiouable than loops of soft, pu8y
effects. A new model has a scarf of
bias velvet tied in a large single knot.
This is attached to one side of the bon
net, whioh is a small poke, and under
seath this knot are the stems of three
long plumes. These ourl np over the
top of the bonnet, aud the soarf is
twisted in a soft roll and passes ovet
the edges in front of the orown.
Theie is a pronounced line between
orown and brim on some of the new
bonnets, and this is thought to be the
forerunner of the old-time style with
flaring front, prominent crown and
runled curtain.
tor children, tho sailor ht it the
accepted' style for ordinary wear, and
may also be worn for host, bnt for the
finest hatt it is often the case that the)
brims are rolled and pinched in vari
ous ways, with trimming of bows,
loops, rosettes, plumes and aigrettes.
For best, there are little bonnets of
soft silk with box-plaited fronts aud
soft crowns.
Bido combs are very stylish and
grow more and more elaborate. They
are now made so that the top stand
out from the head, instead of lying
olosej they are filigreed and joweled,
and in some instances have fringes of
jeweled white hanging from them.
These fringes shine among the side'
tresses, and don't they tangle with
them I They should be worn low
enough to show either side of tho lit
tle theatre bonnet, and may be jeweled
very richly, just as if tbey were not
liable to tumble nut without the wear
er's knowing it till she arrives home.
ftfCKLES AS OngAMEXT.
Buckles remain the favorite orna-
ments. For every oonoeivable part of
feminine apparel are they constructed.
A round dozen is not considered su
perfluous worn by a well-frooked
woman. Tliey nestle in tne nut, ciot
the collar, confine the cuffs, ontline
the bolt, until verily, no knight of old
possessed more when in full armor.
They come for dinner gowns in the
form of miniatures surrounded by
jewels and half-moons of rhinestones.
For simpler use some new ones of con
ventional shape are inlaid with targe
block amethysts, some witn xtxi nn
onyx, others with moonstones. Xhe
stones are not expensive ones, bnt
their use in the dead gold produces a
luxurious effect. These will be placed
especially oa the broad moire bolts
which are used as girdles lor nouse
bodices.
NAMED AFTKB TBS BIB,
The concentrated ornamentation oi
every gown made with any eleganca
is confined to the bavette. That is
French for "bib." Literally, "slob
bering bib." It may be that the
bavotte and that ridiculous ornament

The bavette is formed of the richest
of material, lace, velvet, silk, or all
three combined. At a reeeption re
cently a young lady wore a bavette of
pink silk, lace trimmed, and with big
puffed sleeves attached, over a wool
street gown. It looked veryjpretty,
too. The gorgette, or collar of the
bavette, usually fits olosely about the
throat, bnt may fall to the shoulders.
One that is very pretty has a gorgette
of yellow satin folded softly and
caught at the sides with rosettes of
fine lace. Falling from this, nearly
to the bottom of the bodioe, is wide

that vet a long fringe of Roman pearls
