Carlon, a well-known young New York lawyer, tell? this story about Senater Al? bert Beveridge, in the New York Times. "Several years ago the ladies belonging to a certain club in Indianapolis held a meeting at which the speak ??$ were all to be women. Mrs. Beveridge was one of those who occupied seats on the platform. During the afternoon Mr. Beveridge en? tered the hall and was given a seat next to his wife. At the conclusion of the address of one of the ladies. Mr. Beveridge arose, approached the front of the platform, and began talking to the audi? ence, without having been in? vited or introduced. The chairman of the occa? sion was William Deacon, now managing editor of the Indianapolis News, and he did not like Beveridge, any? way. Throughout the talk of the senator-to-be Deacon sat with his head resting in his hands, never once lifting his eyes. When, the finish came, he drawled out, with? out looking up: k,The lady who has just spoken is out of order," CASTOR! A For Infants and Children.

Nov. ll -On Thursday even int; the Baptist church wa* the scene of beauty, one which will be long remembered by the many rela? tives and friends who bad assembled to witness the marriage of Miss Lucy Mellett, the bright and attractive daughter of Mr. Peter Mellett, to Mr. E. W. Nettles. The church had been tastily decorated by friends, the altar was transformed into a bed of flowers consisting of cryanthemums, ferns, and potted plant?. T:? the strains of the bridal cbarus from Lohengrin, whicii was beautifully rendered by Miss Bet? tie Aycock, the bridal party entered the bride with her maid of honor, Miss Margurite Mellett, came up the left aisle, preceded by Messrs. Marion Rivers and Douglas Jenkins, the ush? ers. The groom with his best man, Mr. G. JP.. Lesesne, came up the right aisle preceded by Messrs. Jnlan Brad? ford and Harry Mellett, ushers. On reaching the alter the bride and groom stood beneath a pretty arch from the apex of which a lovely hell made of cryathemums was suspended, where they faced the pastor, Rev. T. P. Lidp, who, with a snort but very impresive ceremony, united them in the holy bond of matrimony. The bride was attired in a dress of white chiffon trimmed in white lace, the veil wa3 caught up with a Ipvely bunch of orange blossoms and hung in graceful folds, and the bouquet was white cryanthemums tied with white ribbon. The maid cf honor's dress was white organdie. The bride is one of our most popular and attractive young ladies, and tbe groom is a successful pla:;ter. The bride and groom left on the evening train for Sumter where they will spend a few days with the groom's mother, Mrs.. W. A. Nettles, after which they will bc at heme to tbeir friends at "Melrose,their country home. Miss Elia DeLorme Awarded Blue Bibbon. After a long delay, Miss Ella De? Lorme received from the officials of the State Fair Association a Luncheon cloth embroidered in pink La France roses, which 3be bad exhibited in the fancy work denartment, and which was awarded the blue ribbon. Be? sides the honor of winning the blue ribbon, Miss DeLorme will also re? ceive a cash prize. More Entries for the Automobile Races. Among the recent entries for tbe au? tomobile races are a 16-horse fpower Rambler from Augusta, and one from Columbia. Mr. Robertson, of Colum? bia, will also bring a Rambler to the city, and Mr. Alderman, of Alcolu, has entered a 10-horse power Frank? lin and an $}>? horse-power Cadalac. The list of entries is increasing from day to day, and it is the opinion of the committee that not less than fifty cars will contest for the prizes. Dr. J. A. Mood has sent the engine of his car back to the factory for a thorough ovehauling, and he expesses the belief that lie will capture one or more of the prizes His car will bc ron by a gentleman, who will be sent fr?ta, the Franklin Company at his j expense, The December Smart Set. The feature of tb? December Smart Set is undoubtedly the novelette, "Clavering and His Daughter," a story of Washington life, by a new author, Foxcroft Davis, whose meteo? ric entrance into the field of fiction is likely to be the sensation of the sea? son. Totally unknown, this writer's first maunscript was not only accepted on sight by one of the most conserva? tive publishing houses in America, but two new boobs were contracted for to form a series of three, all on the national politics and society centering at Washington. Meanwhile The Smart Set has secured the first work to be published under tbe name of Foxcroft Davis-a story of a remarkable man and a remarkable svoman in the inter? esting setting of life at the nation's capital, which no author lias yet known so intimately and vitally. The appearance of this story is an event. It is a Mipreme test of the rest of the December number that even such a novel as "Clavering and His Daugh? ter" cannot overshadow the merit of the excellent short stories which fol? low it. Particularly does "The End of the Story," by Emma Wolf, stand out from the mass of midwinter fiction -an unusual story of a unique situa? tion, tragic in its intensity, with a climax whose strength is equaled only by the subtlety which leaves the read? er with the book in his hands, living it over again and wondering. The two words which epitomize the whole number are Merit and Variety.' The poems have the excellence and range always to be found in The Smar Set, and in the stories are hu? mor, pathos, romance, tragedy, comedy. A hint at the subject-matter of some of the stories proves their variety-a iife-mystery in India, a very human comedy among Western cowboys, a manifestation of the subliminal self which decides a naval battle, how three people face an ethical problem in their live?, a strange million-dollar legacy, a fanciful satire on realism and idealism in life-views, a bit of the supernatural in real life, on wo? men and wine, and-just a love-story. Some of the names on the title-page are: William R. Lighten, Theodore Waters, Zona Gale, John Vance Che? ney, Theodosia Garrison, Morgan Robertson, Kenneth Brown, Ros*>- j mond Marriott Watson, Clinton Dan- j gerfield, Edward Boltwood, Ethel M. !

The greatest number of collisions j reported in these bulletins were due ! to failure of the train-order system in some of its parts. Dispatchers gave : wrong orders, or failed to give orders where they were required: operators failed to copy orders correctly, or did not deliver orders that should have been delivered ; conductors and engi? neers misread, misinterpreted, over? looked, or forgot orders. Seventy-five accidents of this class are noted, re? sulting in 188 deaths and 828 injuries to passengers and employees. Many of the most distressing collisions that have occurred in this country were due to mistakes in orders, and the reg? ularity and frequency with which such accidents occur emphasize the necessity of radical improvement in the methods of handling trains by tel egraphic ordes or the abolition of the train-order system entirely. It is noteworthy that 4 of the above 75 collisions, reulting in 14 deaths and 84 injuries to passengers and em? ployees, and a property loss of nearly one hundred thousand dollars, were due to identical mistakes in reading orders,-the overlooking of "2nd" or "Second." The following is a typical example of this sort of error : Couductor and engineman of one train misread orders. They had a'19'or? der against 'Second No. 1,'but read ; it 'No. 1;' engineman was killed. Be? ing on form 19, the order was not read by the operator to the conductor and engineman. " This mistake caus? ed a butting collision between a pas? senger and a freight train, in which 4 persons were killed and 80 injured. It may be observed that the collis? ion at Warrensburg, Mo., on October 10, in which 30 persons were killed and an equal number terribly injured, was another instance of this sort of error. Such identical errors empha? size the need of some change in the scheme of numbering or naming trams or in writing the numbers or names in dispatchers' orders. j A collision between a passenger and a freight train, in which 22 persons were killed and 25 injured, was due, also, to misreading orders. The con? ductor pf the freight train read 1 hour and 20 minutes, bat the order was written 20 minutes. Collisions due to operators copying orders wrongly or failing to deliver orders are numerous. One collision was due to the engineer of one of the trains misreading the name of tue station written in his order. Mistakes of dispatchers are not so numerous, but there are sQvei&l cases of lap orders and failure to make ^meeting-point -From "Rilroad Accidents in the United States," by Edward A.

No Poison in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy From Napier New Zealand Hearld: Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of New South Wales, Australia, had an analypis mado of all the cough medi? cines that were sold in that mark? et.
