Cat is a new journalistic candidate for popular favor. It is perhaps linnecessary to say that it comes out every night and that politically it is on the fence.

the last nine months the

number of immigrants who arrived In this country was 409,256, an increase of 87,877 over the corresponding nine months of last year: These figures emphasize the necessity for legislation to limit the inflow of for. pigners in such a way that only the desirable ones shall be admitted.

A NEW illustration of the fact that every vote counts has occurred in New York. Mr. Henry Kenrick, Republican candidate for Assemblyman in Sullivan county, is elected by a majority of one. This is the more remarkable as it is possible that the political complexion of the Assembly Itself may j&e determined by that one vote. _________

POUR

ex-members of Congress are

peeking the position of Clerk of the House of Representatives. Your ex-member of Congress is a perpet. ually hungry office-seeker. The clerkship oC the House is a pretty good office, having a salary of $5,000 a year, with some desirable perquisites and considerable patronage, while the duties are not onerous.

PERHAPS

few smokers would be

willing to admit that it is the sight of the smoke more than anything else, that delights the smoker. It is true, nevertheless. 14 is a fact, though you may not have noticed it, that a blind man never smokes. It is the experience of all smokers who bave been so unfortunate as to lose their eyesight, that they very soon lose all desire to smoke.

A NEW plunger with a system has appeared in Mdnaco, and the system lias worked so well on two occasions that its author has won $300,000. has bought a big yacht, and proposes to sail back to England for the purpose of once ignore trying on the sys tem. If it works like other "systems' of gambling the plunger may have to go out of commission as a yachtsman and walk back to England.

THESE

may be troublous days for

Leo XIII in Rome, but they are not 60 bad as some of his predecessrs passed through. Many of them at one time or other in their career found it convenient to leave the town for awhile. Among those was Pius IX, whom the present pontiff sueceedsd in the chair of Peter. But the headquarters of the church always returned to the Eternal City, and there they are likely to remain for ages, despite the unpleasantness which may arise from time to time between the Quirinal and the Vatican. Indeed there is a very strong impression in the minds of thinking people of all denominations and of no denomination that the situation in Rome is not quite so alarming for the Pope as is imagined or pretended by some of the officials of the church in that municipality.

A RARE and fine example of personal dignity, independence and of methodic foresight was set by a lonely, old, poor woman, Mrs. Ann O'BrieD, who was found the other day in Boston dead in her room. Near her were found her savings for many years, and with them the deed of a burial lot and receipted bills from a neighboring undertaker for a tombstone, a coffin and funeral expenses.

Here is suggestion for a story as pathetic as any of Miss Wilkins's, of the old woman's thoughts and dreams and fancies from the day she first understood that she was to die, and Bet herself to prepare to meet the King of Terrors with lamp trimmed and burning, with all decency and order. When she was alive she must have seemed an eccentric fool, possibly a miser but now who shall say that hers were not in a high de

Prof. N. S. Shaler, Harvard Univer. sity: After each vacation the child returns to his work with a mind disused to the tasks of the schoolroom. Indulgence in the half-intellectual existence of vacation destroys the habits of study which it has cost so much pains to

inculpate.

Intellectual athletics are needed daily. No teacher has all the wisdom of the profession.

CHEATING Z» HORSE BLANKETS

Nearly every pattern of Horse Blanket is imitated in color and style. In most cases the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the warp threads, and so lacks strength, and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn't worth one-half as much. The fact that
