You can put it down that there will
be only such trust legislation as the
trusts wish. The republican party is
in power.
A Now York judge has decided that
women can smoke, but the woman who
tries it for the first time is likely to de-
eido otherwise.
Boston now has elevator girls instead
of boys. We have always understood
that Boston girls were grent at taking
a fellow down.
Tho Athens Banner thinks the legis
lature should not adjourn without
making some disposition of the bill to
tax franchises. This is a measure that
should become a law at the hands of
the members of the present session.
EXIT MORGAN. EH?
That is a significant story coming
from England and which says that
English financiers have revolted
against Morganism. For perhaps it
means that that leg of the Colossus
planted upon Britain's breast will be
pried up and the great statue toppled
over into the sea it strides.
As it happens, no one man has over
been ablo to always hold everything
down. Sooner or later a man or an in
tercsi struggles from between his fin
gers or hiB toes and proceeds to sue
cessfully fill the role of Jack the Oiaut
Killer. And the stir in England may
mean tho beginning of the end of Mor
gan.
Wo hope so, and yot we don’t. Mr,
Morgan is n modern Atlas. He holds
the world on his shoulders. And fixed
there, tho world is tolerably comforta
ble. Y'et the task is altogether too
much of a prerogative for one man.
But it is pleasing that an American has
grown to ho an Atlas, nevertheless.
There is one thing, however, that
can Jx> easily overturned in this con
nection—and that is, if Mr. Morgan,
ah a result of the English revolt, is
slain, the trust question will lie settled
temporarily, anyhow'
Do not stay too long. It is much to
break into the life of any family, even
for a few days. Pay no attention to
urgings to stay longer, however sincere
they seem. Bet a time for going when
you arrive, ami stick to it.
Conform absolutely to the household
arrangements, especially as to times of
rising, going to meals and retiring.
Be ready in ample time for all drives
or other excursions.
Carry with you all needed toilet sup
plies. that you may not be obliged to
mortify your host by pointing out pos
sible deficiencies in the guest room,
such as a clothes brush—the article
most commonly lacking.
I Enter heartily into all their plans for
! entertaining you, but make it plain
that you do not care to be entertained
all the time or to have every minute
tilled with amusement.
Be ready to suggest little plans for
pleasure when you see your host at a
loss to entertain yon. Try how well
you can eutertain him for n change.
Turn about is fair play in visiting, ns
well as in everything else.
Be pleased with all things.
If you ever were brisk and sprightly
be so now.
lour high spirits and evident enjoy
ment are the only thanks your host
wants.
Take some work with you, so that

MORE THAN MILLION PENSIONS.
The report of the secretary of the
Interior discloses the fact that during
the _lnst fiscal year the pension list
passed the million limit—reaching the
high water mark of 1,041,68*, says the
New York Word. And this thirty-
seven years after the close of thewar.
There were added to the rolls during
the year 40,121 new pensioners—great
er than the increase in any one of the
nty years next following the end of
the war, in 1865. There were 37,000
deaths of pensioners last year, and 40,-

A NEW STAR.
Sarah Beruhart is neither young no;
■lender any more and mourns her van
ished youth, it is said, with tears more
real than those she Bheds before tho
footligbte. Fortunately a successor
liasapi>eared in the person of a beauti
ful young Roumanian aged 17,who be
longs to the tragedy class of the Paris
Conservatoire. Appearing recently in
a scene from “Androuiaque” before
Hanlon and other playwrights, she is
said to have held them captive from
the first lines and caused them to weep
freely under her “magio power.” Let
us hope that tho dispatch containing
this announcement is something moio
than a part of the preliminary boom of
a young actress with talent hut not
genius. If it is, Mile. Ventura may
even eclipse Bcrukardt and Duse. Let
,us hope also that they will set her tq
learning English without delay so that
tho English speaking wprld may enjoy
n lull share of wlmt she has to give.
