William Cruse was shot and killed in an election riot in South Amreica, Ky., by Tom Jones. Will Jones and Tom Buchanan were killed by the Somers brothers in an election riot in Wise connty, Virginia.

At Waco, Texas, Thursday, Gov ernor Hogg delivered an address to thousands who witnessed the opening of the Texas cotton palace. Fully 50, 000 strangers were in the city and the management anticipated success in this, the first year of the exposition. Jerome E. Hill, of St. Louis, also made an address, after which the build ing was thrown open to the visitors. The exposition closes December 6th. Among the sporting men of Jackson ville, Fla., there is mueh surprise and more indignation at the action of the city council in repealing the municipal ordinance permitting contests with five-ounce gloves. This ordinance was passed in Deoember last, was vetoed by the mayor and then passed over his veto. Its object was to allow the Cor bett-Mitchell fight to come off at Jack sonvilie and thns to thwart Governor MitcbeU in his determination to stop it Emmet Richmond, a prominent young mao, a relative of ex-Congress man J. B. Ri hmand, was shot and in stantly killed by one Laxton at Bris tol, Tenn., on election day.

Bradstreet’s Report of Business for the Past Week. Bradstreet’s review of business for the past week says: “Interest in the elections this week naturally tended to restrict the volume of trade, particularly soul h, where it interfered with mereontiJe collections. But within a few days tbi influence of more seasonable wreath r west and northwest, together with the emphasis with which political questions have been settled, have increased the confi¬ dence of many merchants and manu¬ facturers in a prospect for an increased rate of improvement in general trade in the near future. “Philadelphia and Pittsburg mar¬ kets continue as last' reported, move¬ ments of merchandise being moderate in volume: collections not satisfactory, but prospects fairly bright. Demaud for lumber and leather forms an ex-, oeption; being more active. Baltimore reports a less satisfactory trade, politi¬ cal exciUment there having interrupt¬ ed business more than at larg#eastern cities. The distribution of shoes ap¬ pears as active as that of any other staple, business in other lines, except holiday goods, being quiet. “Charleston lumbermen report a fair business, but in other lines there is no change. Similar conditions pre¬ vail at Memphis, but at Nashville there is more activity in general lines, nota¬ bly in receipts of California canned goods. The only material effect of the election excitement on business is de layed collections. There is a seasona ^ activity in general lines at Atlanta, At Chattanooga 1 and Birmingham rath „ more aotiv ty is observed in bnsi ne8g oircl while oollection9 wo re jUses satisfactory. Wholesale and re¬ teil at Jacksonville report trade fair , ' Bati6factory ^ for the season, but at s vaunah collections the is no Bpecial change, except that are satisfactory. Augusta’s report is similar, except as to collections, which are slow. At Orleaus rather more of a check to h U8 i neg8 is noted, duo to interest in the elections, but increased activity is expected soon. At Galveston trade is dull in all lines.’’ t~1 KOLBITES ASSEMBLE.

WOMAN’S WORLD. PLEASANT LITERATURE TOR FEMININE READERS, YiACE IX FANCY WOKK Perfumed sachets of silk are orna¬ mented with butterflies, flowers and other designs in white lace. The fig¬ ures are appliqued and then crossed with embroidery stitches. The effect is verv good, especially when gold thread is used to outline the figures and to define parts of the pattern of the lace. Th* same ornaments are applied to photograph frames of silk and velvet.—New York Journal. WHAT KIND OF SHOES TO WEAB. A doctor says that it is a ureat mis¬ take for all women to suppose that tbe pointed toe shoe is bad for the feet. He adds that there are feet that should wear nothing elBe and that are hurt by the square toed boot that is often substituted. The way to deter¬ mine what is jiest for the feet is to place the stockinged foot npon the floor and to notice where the big toe oomes. If it is on a line with the others, then the square toed shoe is required. If it decidedly projects be¬ yond the others, the pointed toe is better.—New York Telegram. AK AGE OF SACHETS.

A curious incident is related as tak¬ ing place in a well known church re¬ cently. A wedding was being sol¬ emnized, the contracting parties being a lady fashionable and gentleman who move in the oiroles of so¬ ciety, while in the come# of tbe ohuroh stood a youthful couple, a mu¬ latto boy and girl. The pair watihed the ceremony intently, and copied each movement made by the bride and bridegroom, whom the priest knell was making man and wife. As they down so did the other couple kneel, and when the bridegroom placed the ring on the bride’s finger tbe yoang mulatto did likewise. At length, when the prooesaion emerged from the church, the humble Couple fol¬ lowed, looking as if they were mar¬ ried. It ttauspired that snoh was, indeed, their belief. They had no money wherewith to pay the priest or the fees, so they thought a marriage at second hand wonld be jnst as effective and cost nothing.—New York Adver¬ tiser. INTENDS TO ENTKB HASVARD.

A Frenoh chemist has been speaking strongly in their favor, and specially commands those odors which are not only sweet bat strong, for he has discovered in them valuable antiseptic qualities. There are oer tain oils and essences employed to make every kind of perfume, whether it be violet or rose or jssmfoe, and according to tbe amount nsed in par tieatar essences, So do they become geunfoe disinfectants. It is distinctly pleasant to know that typhoid and in fiuenza may be kept at distilmenta, bay by a liberal nse of fragrant and as the Medieal Press urges tbeir free use this winter, even the scat puritanically minded may be inclined to make the use of foeeuse general in churches.

Arab and girls, the before *n»y enter the harem take veil, axe a curious sight to behold. Their bodies and faces are dyed a bright yellow with tumeric ; on this ground they paint black liues, with antimony, over their eyes; the fashionable color for the nose is red; green spots adorn the cheek, and the general aspect is grotesque beyond description. My wife tells me that the b (files fo y. the Saltan’s harem are also painted in this fashion, and that they also paint gloves on their hands and shoes on ' tbeir feet, and, tlms bedizened, hope to secure the affections of their lords. At Sbief, the men would not allow my wife to approach or bold any in¬ tercourse with the Arab women, using opprobrious epithets when she tried to make friendly overtures, with the quaint result that whenever Mrs. Bent advanced toward a group of females they fled precipitately, lie a flock of sheep before ,a collie dog. These women wear their dresses high in front, and long behind; they are Ane of deep blue cotton, decorated with embroidery and patches of yellow and red sewn on in pattern. 5 It is the universal female dress in Hadramut, and looks as if the fashion had not changed since the days when Hazarmaveth idle patriarch settled in that valley and gave it his same, (Genesis x., 28). The tall, tapering straw hat worn by these women when in the fields contributes with the mask to make the Hadrami females as ex¬ ternally repulsive as the most jealeus of husbands could desire.— Nineteenth .
