MisH Julia Arthur has secured the English rights to the new play by M. Emile Bergerac, entitled “More Than Queen,” dealing with the marriage of Napoleon and Josephine. THE GLASS OF FASHION. New taffetas are to be found in large checks, green and white, blue and white, brown and white, and some showing white combined with two col ors. Most of the sleeves in the thin white gowns are trimmed in one way or an other. In some there are patterns in the ruffled narrow ribbons, some are tucked and others are shirred. Early in the winter the hat that turned up in front received its due praise. Its successor in the spring will be an airy thing of silk muslin or tulle set on the side of the head, with a wide spangled brim turned up on all sides equally. A solid plaid in white goods makes np attractively and with a certain style of its own. Figured white has the ad vantage that it does not show every wrinkle, as do the plain goods. A waist made of the white plaid with sleeves and yoke of the plain is very pretty. The long redingotes so fashionable this season are particularly smart as a p>art of the skating costume and are made in light and dark cloths, with fur collar and revers. Entire costumes of fur are also worn, and the short coat with skirt to match which never goes out of fashion is quite as popular as ever. Sonthdowns are prolific breeders and mature earlier, perhaps, than any other sheep They % ill make a pound of flesh with as little food as any other or lese, and more of it on the most valu able part of the carcass, and hence they command a higher price. 1 A HOME FOR EVERY CITIZEN. . Therein Abide* a Satlon'i Greatest Glory—Let la Vote For It. I Since the world begun the human heart has loved a home. Aye, even the birds that build their tiny nests in the leafy trees, the ani mals that burrow into the ground, or that select their lair among the rocks and in the jungles and the forests, are i each and all endowed by an all wise Cre ator with an instinctive affection for a j permanent abiding place. Taken either ! figuratively or literally, Eden was the home of a God made pair of human be ings, and they wept when they were driven from it. The history of the world is a history of a human struggle for a home. Among the Egyptians, the Persians, the Jews, the Romans, the Greeks, and, in later days, the Normans, the Saxons, the Gauls, the Britons, men were bat tling for homes. The inspiring thought of nearly every ; historical invasion was land on which i to settle and build up homes. Immense bodies of men, armed and equipped for war, took their wives and I children with them, ready to settle upon I conquered or newly discovered territory. Since the pilgrims landed upon the j bleak shores of Massachusetts the wrest | ern tide of empire has been sustained by the desire to obtain land and build homes. The longing for a home animates the heart of the emigrant as he crosses the ocean to the new world, the same as it does the ■western settler who journeys across the continent with his family in a “prairie schooner.” Ask a thousand homeless men and women today what of all things they most desire, and 999 of them will un hesitatingly answer : “A home I” Why not seize this idea, and by its use unite the disinherited of the earth in a movement that shall put every man into a home of his own, exempt from execution and all taxation? We repeat what we have already said a thousand times, that a nation of home owners would be the grandest, the hap piest and the mightiest nation on the face of the earth. To accomplish this end the money metal standard must be destroyed and a paper money standard established in its place. The money power most be wiped out of existence through a system of gov ernment loans to the people, whereby money loaning will become so unprofit able that shylockism cannot exist. A graduated land tax must be en forced, so that land will be desirable only for actual use and occupation. The grab alls and accumulators of wealth must be routed by a graduated income tax, whereby the burden of tax ation shall be taken from off the shoul ders of those least able to bear it and placed upon the shoulders of those best able to bear it and at the same time render it impossible for individuals and corporations to accumulate the vast fortunes that are threatening the exist ence of republican forms of government and destroying the welfare of the masses. Let the people be educated to believe that it is not only possible, but that it is thoroughly practicable for every man to own a home of his own, and in time they will unite to accomplish such an end. Let every man who wants a home vote for a home, and the problem ie solved.—Norton’s Monthly. Creditor or Debtor? One of the old free eoinago arguments was based on the statement that this is a debtor nation. Times have changed. It is now on the creditor side.—Bt. Louis Globe Democrat. If this is a creditor nation, why don’t we receive some money for the $500,- 000,000 excess of exports over imports. We ship immense amounts of merchan dise and produce, but we get very little money back. If we don’t owe anything to the foreigners, why doesn’t the for eigner settle balances in cash ? Instead of them owing ns we owe them so many billions that it takes all our surplus to pay interest —Omaha Nonconformist Another Strange Thing, It is strange that papers and politi cians who pretend to believe that our government is not competent to success fully own and operate railroads at home deem it competent to construct and oporate the Nicaragua canal. The only reason for this is the fact that the moneyed iutersts of this country are more directly concerned in operating the railroads and robbing the people; hence influence the politicians and the press In their interest. The money re quired in constructing the Nicaragua canal .vould construct and equip a doa ble track railroad from the Pacific to the Atlantic, which, if run by the gov ernment in the interest of the people, would be many times over more advan tageous to the people than would the canal if it could be constructed for the sum contended and would be all its promoters claim for it, which is very doubtful.—Tulare (Cal.) News. He Wri Low. “An so Arabella has gone and en gaged herself to a low churchman? In deed lam astonished 1 Why, she even believes in the confessional!” “Oh, as to that, perhaps he does too! But I should judge that he isn't an inch over five feet in his socks. “ —Cleveland Leader Cooking Down South. A thoughtful Virginian of maturt years undertook yesterday to explain k me why southern people living in tht north revert so often to the old fash' ioned cooking; “The beanty of th< southern family dinner lay in the sea soning of the food to suit the taste oi all the members of the household, in dividually and collectively. Old Aunl Dinah, or Aunt Sarah, or Aunt Chloe, the cook, knew exactly from years ol practice what each of the children liked, what the father submitted to and what the mistress demanded, and she ooulc please all. “Take, for example, a rice pudding, one of the familiar stand bys. In tin mixing of the ingredients Aunt Chlol would mutter to herself: ‘Mars Willi ’e like plenty o’ cinnamon. I’ll jes pul in ’nother little piece o’ cinnamon foi Mars Willie. Miss Tavy she like all spice. I’ll jet put in a little mo’ all spice for Miss Tavy. Mars Habershaii ’e like plenty o’ cloves. I must pleas* Mars Habby wid a little mo’ cloves. Miss Julia she fond o’ nutmeg. Dar’s a little mo’ nutmeg for Miss Julia. Mar 6ter ’e all right if dey’s plenty o’ rice, an ole missus eat all de egg an milk Dey all fond o’ reesins, an dey all like, sugar plenty: so dar dey goes an di puddin’s ready for de üben. ’ “She has been stirring all the tim* for dear life, and, having looked oul for each member of the family, the dish is bound to be a success. ” —New York Press. The Woman ol 11. The Philadelphia Record says: “Al most the first thing a visitor does upon entering the room in which the Declara tion of Independence was signed is tc add his autograph to the vast collec tion of more than 20 years. The custo dian of the book a few days ago, in speaking of his experience, said: ‘Yoi wouldn’t believe it, but we have had only two attempts to mutilate the regis ter or to write anything in it excepl names and addresses, and on both o) those occasions the culprits were wo men. “ ‘There’s another strange thinfc about the visitors, ’he continued. ‘Ol the thousands who come here the onlj ones we have any trouble -with are th women. We have a tape stretched acrosi all those chairs, ’ he said, as he pointed to a long line of ‘seats of the mighty,’ as it were —chairs of the signers—*t< prevent people from sitting in them. Well, one woman only yesterday want ed ns to cut the tape for her, becausl she claimed she was a descendant of om of the signers and thought she had a right to sit in his chair, and she wen away mad when we wouldn’t make aB exception in her case. ’ ” Old and New, An English newspuper contains nu interesting parallel, discovered by 8 classical scholar. First comes a transla tion from the original Greek of Anti pater of Thessalonica: Once npon a time, when a ship wag shattered at sea, two men fell at strife, fighting for one plank. Antagoras struck away Pisistratus. One could not blank him; it was for his lifa But justice took cognizance. The other swam ashore: but him (Antagoras) a dogfish seized. Surely, the avenger of the fatel rests not, even in the watery deep. Then an incident recorded in the Lon don Chronicle serves to translate th< story into a modern event and to show how life repeats itself: Two bluejackets, named Friday ani Painter, were capsized from a boat ai Weymouth. After a struggle to get ink the waterlogged boat Friday beat his comrade off, and Painter swam ashore Friday got into the boat and was drown ed. New Napoleon Letter. The historic chateau of Malmaison is being restored by M. Osiris, a wealthy Napoleon worshiper. It is his intention to turn it into a Napoleonic museum and to present it to the state in time for it to form one of the attractions of the great exhibition in 1900. In repair ing the library a very interesting find was made in the shape of a letter from Napoleon to Josephine, dated from the Trianon, Aug. 15, 1813, reproaching her with not saving money. He advises her to put her affairs in order, not to spend more than £60,000 a year and to save the other £60,000. Thus in ten years she would have accumulated a for tune for her grandchildren. “Instead of doing this, however, I am told,” he continues, “that you are in debt. If you wish to please me, take care to fill a fat stocking. What do you suppose would be my opinion of you if I knew you to be in debt with an income of 8,000,000 francs a year?”—London Chronicle* IrrlnK Didn’t Rend. Sir Henry Irving appeared at the Theater Royal, Edinburgh, in 1857, and two years later he went to Linlith gow to give a Beading there. He was delighted to seehis name in big letters on the posters on arriving in the town. He went to the hall, but there was no crowd there—in fact, the caretaker had not arrived, having forgotten all about the reading. Irving went in search of him. and things were got ready; 8:80 o’clock arrived, bnt no one came to the hall—not even a small boy. In recalling the incident Sir Henry was wont to say, “I never slept better thaa I did that night. ” Gainesville, Jefferson <t Southern Railroad. SAMUEL C. DUNLAP, Receiver.
