^ -v EXTINC T SCOTCH INDUSTRY. A Fashion That Even Royal Patr< age Could Not Save. } [ It is stated that by the year IS the annual value of the trade in Pa r ley shawls reached a total of $5,00 L 000. and this was not the high wa P . mark of the trade, k % In its final form these beauti shawls were made reversible, havi ; a pattern on both sides, and lai 1 numbers of such shawls were ma in the second half of the nineteer ^ century, says a London special to T || New York Sun. Queen Victoria v a great admirer of the work of t f Paisley craftsmen and encouraged t ^ industry over a considerable peri H by regular purchases, giving awa\ W great many in the form of presents p Fashion, however, proved t 1 strong even for the patronage of t r i Queen and the trade languished the point of extinction. Finally t skilled craftsmen who had wov these beautiful fabrics had to se T elsewhere to find a market for th industry. They turned to cott< and it was their labor which laid t foundations of the cotton thread : dustry with which Paisley is now ; sociated. J "There can be no dispute as to t origin of the Paisley narness sna1 Conjecture must be content to fi reasons for the change in fashi W which killed a thriving industry a made the Paisley shawl extinct sa in collections." says The Times. "The historian of the town t told the story of the rise and fall k the industry and of the men w made it. The shawl was evolved i a slow process of development, k "the first place patterns were sewn at plain fabrics by the Paisley weav< IT and not till a later date were figui K woven into the cloth. " "At the close of the eighteen century the Paisley weavers reach the highest point of skill and appli their craftsmanship to the prodi tion of what afterward became ^ mous as the Paisley shawl, whi may be defined as harness work which there is an attempt to repi duce in the loom the effects wroug by the needle in the Indian shaw Many kinds of shawl were prodi ed in damask, crepe, canton and cl nille, but the introduction of wt afterward came to be known as t real Paisley shawl may be assigned the end of the second decade of t nineteenth century. For the prodi tion of this article it was necessa to use yarns which had been specia prepared. The warp consisted of fi silk, around which was spun a co; *nS of the finest cashmere wool. T # shawl was woven face downward, a t all that the weaver had to gufde h was a confused mass of floati threads, calling for the closest att i tion if the work was to be propei I done. I The "shawl" thus made had f great vogue and was almost univ< ^ ' sally selected as a present not or for weddings but on many other < casions. Those who are fortun? enough to possess such shawls who have had the opportunity of i I * specting the fine examples to be fou in public collections can not fail l / recognize the beauty of many of t k patterns employed and the great sk in weaving shown by the old craf men of Paisley. Hg KENTUCKY TREASURE HUNT V Search for Slave Dealer's Buri k Money Unsuccessful. f J A party of Illinois men. headed a -Mr. Snntn, was in smuniana .uc B day searching for hidden treasui B on the old Weaver property, says E J* Smithland, Ky., dispatch, to the X< f York Sun, but after a day's toil tli ft \ gave up the quest, with nothing t sore muscles and aching limbs to : ward them for their labors. According to Mr. Smith, his gre grandfather, John H. Smith, w owned the property in ante-belli * ir days, died here just after a trip New Orleans, where he sold a bo ) load of mules and negro slaves. The money he received for t "produce" was supposed to have be buried about the premises and v never found. The property is n ^ owned by Judge Abell, who read granted permission for the seai | and excavation. I , WOMAN THREM BRICKS. Broke Windows of American Chui in Paris.

I BOBCAT BATTLES WITH GOATS. >u_ Latter With Jaybirds as Allies Came Off Victors. A battle royal was witnesses recently by two game hunters. Judge Q A. J. Derby and Fred E. Xewby, ter sa*'s a River dispatch to the New York Sun. They were return, , ing to Sonny along a narrow ledge at ? the side of .Mitcneu s romi, wnen n oe they came upon two Angora goats fighting with a bobcat. icie Lth "We were attracted by the noise," says Judge Derby. "The big cat would run a short distance, stop and ? do 2 spit at the goats, which, however. he charging with their heads down, 0(j gave him but little rest. The cat was r a continually spitting and the goats gave little short, sharp bleats at in00 tervals. hg "The running fight continued for t0 several hundred yards across the side he of the mountain, when the cat bound en ed onto a high ledge, leaving the ,ek goats standing at the bottom, stamper ing their feet in anger. ->n> "A flock of jaybirds, seeming to he be allies of the goats, alighted in a [n_ dead tree at the back of the ledge, as_ chattering and mocking at the tired cat, bolder ones of them flying down he and pecking at his head." ;vi. The two Angora goats that inhabit nd the wilds of Mitchell's Point are the on property of E. Locke, an orchardist nd living east of the point. They left Lve their domestic haunts several years ago and began to make their home in tas the mountains. They now sleep up0f on a high, narrow ledge, where it lio would be difficult for a man to asby cend, on the side of the rocky cliff In overlooking the Columbia. Judge on Derby and Mr. Newby think the cat ;rs attacked the goats, and they turned :es the tables on him. ^ I High Prices in Beunos Ayres. ec* South Americans are about the e(* only people who do not raise a pro1C" test against the high cost of living fa~ in the United States, ich "We cannot kick about the high in prices in America," said Dr. A. R. Calvo of Buenos Ayres, "because we ' ? pay much higher prices in our own country, particularlv in the citv of i c.Buenos Ayres. This applies princilat uPPer classes, for among the working classes living is relatively as cheap as, if not cheaper than , in the United States. But in Buenos he Ayres it costs more to live than in Washington, New York, or any other jjv of your cities. This is true also of n the larger cities in other South Amerat_ ican countries. In Lima, Peru, for ke instance, fresh eggs cost 10 cents n(j J apiece, and poultry is so high that im only the rich can afford to have it ncr on the table. ;n- "The price of eggs in Buenos Ayrlv res?fresh eggs, of course?is little less than in Lima. Beef commands a a price of 50 cents a pound, and other sr_ meats are proportionately high. A ily man in the professions cannot liv^ 3C- comfortably for less than $700 to ite $800 a month, if he does any enteror taining at all. One cannot get hotel ! _ _ in- accommodations, such as can he had nd in Washington, say, for $6 a day, for to less than $12 to $15."?The washhe ingtcn Post. ;ill te TO Pl'LL SHORT MILEAGE.

Heroic Effort of Miss Edna Mae Ste- , phens Probably Saved His Life. J Conway, Oct. 17.?Robert McCracken, the superintendent of the j "Snow Hill" farm on the outskirts of town, happened to a horrible accident at the farm ginnery Tuesday afternoon. While attempting to unchoke one of the gins his hand was caught in the saws and torn into shreds. As he staggered from the gin house to his home his cries j for help were heard by Miss Edna ! Mae Stephens, of the High School faculty, who requested the wounded man to sit down. She quickly and tightly clasped the arm above the wound and practically checked the flow of blood from the arteries until medical assistance could be secured. Mr. McCracken was rushed to a local hospital where it was found necessary to amputate the arm at the shoulder. The self-possession and quick action on the part of Miss Stephens probably saved Mr. McMcCracken's life. THE SPIRIT OF WASTEFULNESS. It is Manifested in Fire Losses, Says Redfield. Philadelphia, Oct. 16.?"The appalling yearly loss by fire in this country is only one of many manifestations of a spirit of wastefulness which has become an ingrained part of American thought and habit," j declared William C. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce, in an address this afternoon before the National Fire Preventation Conference. The American people, the Secretary said, must be taught to open their eves before losses occur instead ! i of after. He advocated the organization of a staff of demonstrators that would be at the service of a body similar to the fire prevention conference, whose duty it would be to go about the country addressing Legislatures, labor unions, civic hnHioc anri nthpr organizations on the general subject of wastefulness.

Latest Zoological Effect in Dress ( Makes Men Gasp. i 1 In the multitude of wonderful and 1 fascinating sights with the advent of l the split skirt, none has attracted < more attention than an innovation in j Fifth avenue yesterday, when the ] parting folds in the skirts of several j women promenaders disclosed a mis- 1 cliievous monkey clinging near the calf line of milady's stocking. Of < course, they were not real, live monk- i eys. ' They were only "worked in" the j j stockings in colors, after the fashion j of the white mice, snakes and other ] zoological efforts shown in stockings '< not long ago. The monkey is brown in color, with a white bald face and is set in a background of solid color, including black, white, purple and other shades. The sight of monkeys swinging around on a woman's stocking is having a peculiar effect in some quarters. A man in the Waldorf, who sat gaz- < ing on a pair of the latest things in " stockings, became petrified and evidently could not move, even after the woman wearing the monkey stocking left. When he was aroused from his state of coma by a floor manager he trembled all over and perspiration rolled off his forehead. He admitted that he was not sure of what he had seen and felt easier when the sight was confirmed. Peck & Peck are responsible for the monkey hose, and they declare they are selling quite a few pairs. One of the clerks in a Peck store said yesterday, with something of disgust in his voice, that if the fad for animals on stockings continued, it would only be a question of time until giraffes on stockings for tall women and hippopotami for portly women would be the vogue.?New York Herald.
