It is reported that'Americans planned and assis- ted in her escape from prison and much is being said as to the probable complications the affair may causa between the United States and Spain. A man in Onslow county who is repoted to be worth $8,000 to $10,000 wrote the Board of Coun- ty Commissioners a letter in which he said they would have to take his father a8 a county charge as he could not assume the responsibility ot supporting him.

A Nine Million Bale Crop. New York. Oct. 13.—The Daily Dry Goods Record saya: Work- ing on those lines by which such close estimates to the actual cotton crop of the last two years were obtained, the figures just aow obtained indicate a crop for 1497-’98, which varies from 8,953,- 788 bales to 9,371,632 bales, of 500 pounds each. For the last crop or 1896-97, our estimate was 8,722,901 bales against 8,814,011 bales as the actual returns whilethe estimate for the previous year, or 1895-’96 was 7,142,000 bales compared with 7,162,473 bales. The close- ness of these estiraates to the actual returns stamped them with the imprint of correctness and for the current crop year Our es- timate is submitted with a degree of confidence that barring unex- pected happenings, the yield for 1897-98 will not exceed the maxi mum figures of 9,871,532 bales of 500 pounds each. red OCTOBER TIPS ON STYLE ESP pee This Column is for the Ladies Velvet in brilliant colors is considered chic for house bodices, Fancy Meltons and lace jabots ccustitule the garniture. * * * usual hook at the throat of evening wreps and™ars is now replaced by apretty gold buckle. * * * Lace boieros are being secured |by diamond buttons or pear- shaped ornaments. 2 * bs Noticeable features of the new tiny velvet toques are fur-edged brims, two tall tips at front or side and a jeweled buckle. x x x Ostrich tips and ruches of gauffered silk are seen on large velvet crowned felt hats. * 2K * The latest combination in col- larettes is ermine, lace and velvet. * * * Steel ornaments are fancied for large hats of gray or castor: These are combined with velvet and plumes. * * 3K Even for tots of less than 5 vears small muff and boa sets are designed, Large fichu collars of black or white mousseline ruffles are new, odd and pretty. * * * A magnificent bridal gown is of white duchesse satin, with bands of white silk muslin, em- broidered with silyer beads and seed pearls. ee, ee For bndesmaids’ toilettes there is nothing much prettier than a fine quality of satin peau de soie in pink or yellow. * * K Cashmere frocks for dancing school are trimmed with lace and. have sashes of Roman-striped silk. * *k * A pretty every day dress for a little girl is of navy-blue serge with belt and stock collar of red velvet, * 2K * Black or white lace trims cor- sets or peticoats of glace taffeta, | both pieces being made to match.

The girl in the yachting suit looked at him intently for a minute and then shook her head earnestly. “Don’t go near him!” she ex- claimed. “Don’t let any one introduce him to you under any circumstances? Den’t have any- thing to do with him at all!” “But there are thirty eight girls and only fiye other men in the holel.” protested the girl 1a white. “Wecan’ afford to be too particular.” ; “Well, you can’t axord to have anything todo with him,” per- sisted the girl in the yachting suit. “What do you know about him ?” “IT know all about him. 1 met himin the mountains last sum- mer, aud I tell you he’s danger- ous.” “Dangerous!” exclaimed the girl in white scornfully. “He looks about as harmless as any one I eyer saw.” “Well, he isn’t,’ asserted the one inthe yachting suit. “He’s dangerous, and in addition to that he’s the biggest fool that ever put on a flannel tennis suit and went to the seashore.” “One of the kind that rocks the boat ?” Worse than that. He can’t tell a case cf genuine love.” “Really ?” “Yos, indeed. That’s what makes him dangerous. Why, what do you think ho wanted to do last year ?” “T’m sure I don’t Know.” “He wanted to hold me to a summer resort engagement ; actu- ally wanted me to marry him just because I said I would one mcon- light night up in the mountains ; and couldn’t understand it when I refused to recognize him after isn’t a safe man to have anything to'do with. He lacks experience.” The girl in white turned away. with a sigh. st x “Tt seems too bad to let any kind of aman escape,” she said ; “but, of course, a; man who is absurd enough to took upon a bummer resort engagement seri- ously might be very trouble- ee some.”—Chicago Post. we got back tothe city.

The following charming story is told of the late Robert Louis Steven- son. He was visiting a friend, after- ward consul to Samoa, in northern Vermont. This gentleman had a lit- tle daughter about 11 yearsold, who very speedily became a devoted friend of the novelist. In pouring forth her joys and sorrows in exist- ence she confided to Mr. Stevenson the woeful fact that she was born on Feb. 29, and therefore had enjoyed only two birthdays in all her 11 years. The poet sympathized not only in comforting words, but alsv in action. He meditated a few mo- ments, then went to her writing desk and drew up the following doc- ument: ‘‘I, Robert Louis Stevenson, in a sound state of mind and body, having arrived at that age when I no longer have any use for birth- days, do give and bequeath my birthday, the 13th of November, to Miss Adelaide Ide, to be hers from this year as long as she wishes it. Robert Louis Stevenson.”’ The little girl’s delight at this rare and most welcome gift has shown itself regu- lalry once a year for several years past, and since the novelist’s death the anniversary is doubly treasured. —Chicago Chronicle.
