Gamilla. On.. Aug. 28.—The recent rains
have materially damaged the cotton crop
in Mitchell county, gome of the cotton Is
now bare of leaves, and most of the bolls
and forms have fallen on the ground,
and the grown bolls are nearly all oi>on
and will soon lie gathered and sold. The
sea island cotton here is shedding Its
fruit more than was ever known before,
and the prospects now arc much lower
for this crop than lias been estimated for
merly.
Since the weather has cleared up the
, short cotton Is moving rapidly, and the
receipts here on Wednesday were about
fifty bales of cotton.
The Gamilla high school will open here
on the first Monday in September, under
the most favorable auspices, ami a very
large attendance M expected. This school
has six teachers of experience, and the
matriculation fee Is only $1 for four
months' term, and no tuition charged to
any pupil entering th.* school from Mitch
ell county, which makes the school abso
luti 1> free to all, who enter with Ihe
smallest matriculation fee known tn the
stall .

MAMTOIIVS UHIDIIFU INFOUMTO.
>lr. Grcenwny Was In Dakota and
Seemed to Ben I'lain Citizen,
From the Boston Transcript.
About one year ago a respected citizen of
a small town in North Dakota walked into
the hotel with his wife for the noonday
meal. Ho saw at his table two strangers,
one a young man pretty well dressed, and
the other, evidently a farmer, about 60
years of age,, with a gray, rough beard
and well worn and ill-fitting clothing.
Little attention was paid to the pair, be
yond a hasty scrutiny The < itizen and his
wife were thinking >f taking a trip to a
lake In Manitoba, r .*.;r Crystal City, for
a few days, and w. re talking about the
trip, inquiring how long the fishing would
be good, etc., questions which those who
w. re talking seem* 1 unable to answer.
The old farmer sp; k* up, and, venturing
to explain that he liv and qui’e ncar th.' lak ,
told all about the situation there, where to
go, at whose house to f >p, end other need
ful information. Liule else was said, but
the impression mad* on tin* citizen and
wife was not sufUcb nt to cause them to
m ike very much in jury, and no one about
the hotel knew' who the two men were.
“Well, he seemed like a nice old Tel.ow,”
said the wife, "though I noticed he seem
ed quire helpless in . gard to disposing of
his l.utuce. Probably his first meal at a
hotel.”

The next day the citizen met his friend,
th- liveryman, who sold:
"By the way, did you see Premier Green
way of Manitoba wh* n he w.is .ere yester.
day? Hi* driver brought him down here
from Crystal City, where he lives, you
know, to catch the t tin for St. Paul and
then to Ottawa, as h** was in a hurry to go.
He said he thought Green way was called

Tlie Decay <f Dandyism,
From the London Spectator.
Prima facie one would say that we pos
sessed exactly the soil in which dandyism
onght to nourish. The newspapers give
daily hay. hourly—prominence to ail sorts
of personal details mnected with men.
notorious and Insiyniticant. If another
Brummeli were to rise among us he would
have unrivalled opportunities for making
himself conspicuous. Mis 'jest rude things
would be accorded an immense publicity
the moment they had been said. Mis di >ta
in regard to ties or trousers would be pub
lished with full-page illustrious as of
ten as he deigned to utter them, and thfe
i hance of his suffering neglect at the
hands of a forgetful public would tie re
duced to a minimum. It requires little im
agination to suggest the headlines and
general letter-press which would accom
pany "A Glimpse Into the Great Dandy's
Wardrobes." "We are enabled by the
kindness of Mr. to afford our readers
the pleasure of seeing an absolutely cor
rect set of reproductions of the various
garments worn by the modern Brummel
at Ascot on the Cup day," and so on and
so on. Of course, at the end of the ar
ticle would come the announcement that
the "letter-press as well as the photo
graphi from which our illustrations are
reproduced are copyrighted both here and
In the I'nited States of America.”
Hut in spite of the fact that there is
an insatiable hunger in the public mini
for personal details, and that the age is
distinctly interested in questions of dress
—witness descriptions of men s dress as
well as of women's fashions in our papers
—no modern Brummeli has been able to
avail himself of tie- splendid opportunities
which exist for self-advertisement. Doubt
less there are one or two well-dressed
inen who to a certain extent set the fash
ions, but their names and habits are ut
terly unknown to the world at large. Yet
ninety years ago Brummel, with almost
no opportunities for advertising himself,
became known to the whole of Kngiand,
and known simply because he was the
arbiter of dress and fashionable luxuries.
It is not because impudence has died out
among us. There are plenty of men quite
as Impudent as ever Brummeli was, but
nowadays their impudence, though it
may amuse, gives them so social pres
tige. A handsome young man might
nowadays l>e taken up by smart people,
might spend a great deal on his dress,
and might lie as rude and as ill-bred as
possible without attracting any attention
beyond a very narrow circle. His worst
acts of rudeness might be quoted, but
the notion of his becoming the ieader of
society would not even lie discussed.

Queer Clubs of tlie Country, With
Various Wild Views.
From the St. Louis Star.
There are 5,0fi0 clubs in the United States
Nearly one hundred of these are of the
eccentric order, and they represent the
strangest, oddest fantasies that the hu
man mind could possibly conjure up for
its social entertainment. The eccentric
club illustrates a phase of soc ial life which
springs chiefly from the desire of certain
classes of men to show their utter disre
gard for conventionality, and who find
genuine recreation in what is bizarre and
unusual in the way of social gatherings.
The result is a One-legged Club, a Cat
Club, a Kat Bote Club, a Harmonica Club,
a Kite Flyers’ Club, a Coffin Club, an Un
dertakers’ Club, a Japanese Club, a Fat
Man’s Club, a Slumming Club, a Lan
thorn Club, a Mountebank Club, a Bloom
er Club, and so on through a long list.
Some of these organizations have very
entertaining features.
Of all the queer associations of the coun
try the One-legged Club of St. Louis, is
the most strikingly unique. There are
twenty-two members of this organization.
Each individual boasts the loss of one of
his nether limbs. A physically" whole man
cun never hope to have his name enrolled
on the roster. It does not matter how’ the
members’ legs were lost, whether in but
tle for their eountry or under the wheels
of a railroad train, it is enough that they
can show but a single natural prop upon
which to stand. Curiously enough, a man
with no legs at ail ha* as little chance
of election to membership as he who has
both his nether limbs. A suite of elegant
ly furnished rooms is the club's habitat,
and twice a year a banquet is given by
the member* to their friends, when the
rare spectacle of grave-looking men in
evening dress rising on a single leg to re
spond to toasts like "our absent limbs” is
presented to those who are fortunate
enough to be invited.
The Cat Club of Chicago stands alone
in clubdom, it is an association of well
known so iety women of the Windy city
and their favorite cats. C.uh quarters
have been regularly engaged, and cush
ions of the softest down are provided for
the comfort of the fair members’ pets.
At the weekly meetifl* of the Cat Club
the relative merits .mil behavior of each
tahby and grimalkin are descanted upon,
while tea is served to tlie ladies and milk
is set out for the cats. Invitations to call
from one cat (presented, of course, by Its
mistress) to .another, are exchanged, and
as much formality Is observed In intro
ducing anew feline to the assembled cats
and clubwomen as at an important social
function. Small fortunes, in the way of
silver collars, engraved bells, perfumed
baths and the like, are expended upon the
restless, cnterwatillng company, and the
fee of admission to club membership has
lioon placed at a prohibitive figure to pre
vent those who are not In the high social
“swim" from participating In the club’s
unique pleasures.
There Is a club of klte-flvcr with head
quarters In Bestnn. Anything and every
thing which concerns the employment of
kites for sclendflc purpose* and espeelal
1y the study of aerial navigation are the
subjects of constant discussion In the
rooms of this queer club. The etuh Is

BAD FOtl.tl TO KNOCK ASHES OFF,
Light on Itcxicnn Manners Comes to
an American Who Thought He Was
Polite.
From the Washington Star.
The man who had been down in Mexi
co trying to buy a carload of silver dol
lars made for the American market and
guaranteed worth their weight in sterling
silver was In town the other day looking
for customer*. Incidentally he ran across
a Star reporter and offered to sell him
a ton or two of dollars. Then the man
asked for a light, and the reporter, flop
ping the ashes from his cigar, handed it
over to the returned traveler.
" There is such a difference in customs ”
sail the man. taking his light from the
borrowed cigar. "Now you notice how
politely and thoughtfully—for thoughtful
ness is the true politeness—you knocked
the ashes off your cigar when you hand
ed it to me to light mine.”
Reporters are always polite,” suggest
eportei
As I was saying," continued the man,
unheeding, "there is such a difference in
customs. Now, w lien I went to Mexico
the lirst time I didn’t know the Mexican
code of manners, and about the lirst thing
I did when I landed was to ask a man
for a light. He handed me a cigar with
the ashes on. I thought it was bad man
ners, but I flipjied them oft and kindled
my weed. 1 did that four or five times
and I always got it the same way. Then
I began to hope some of them would ask
tne for a light so I would show Mexico
what real manners were. I got a chance
one day. and when a man asked me for
a light I flipjied off the ashes, and, with a
salaam at least two yards across in its
widest sweep, I extended him the blazing
slump. He took it, of course, because
he was too polite to treat a stranger oth
erwise, but he did it in a way that show
ed me something was wrong, and I* began
asking a question or two.
1 lie result was that 1 discovered what
the true form was and what an ass 1 had
been making of myself trying to teach
those oastile soaparoons what the code
cigarro was. My instructor told me that
the thing to do was to leave the ashes on
at their full and to daintily touch the
unlighted cigar or cigarette jus! about the
tire line between the ashes and the to
bacco. After that, being no longer in ig
norance, to avoid bloodshed or interna
tional complications, I never again was
flip tilth the ashes of my cigar.”
A 1 11 TIC.tL HEROINE,

From the New York Mail nnd Express.
The little hamlet of Three Mile Harbor,
Conn., boasts of a nautical heroine, who
has a blend of trade in her blood. Sadie
Barclay Is the name of this level-headed
lass, and she is tlie daughter of Capt
Seth Barclay, who Is said to be the cham
pion clam digger of that section. Sadi*
is 30 years old, and a year or so ago, on
the particular occasion of which the
beachcomber# of Three Mile Harbor speak
so highly, the young woman sailed with
her father to "tend the jib sheet" on a
ten-ton sloop. The latter was bound to
Middletown with a full cargo of dams.
W hen midway in the Journey an unexpect
e.i Jllie of the main boom laid the skipper
low, and when his daughter rushed Hft
to the cock pit xhe found that her father's

a comfortable bed for Iter father, but in
lifting It tin sprained her right arm. It
pained so dreadfully that she could scarce

she had to get the sloop Into harbor by
hook rir crook, and undergoing the great.
