Cpecial in Chicago Post. The energetic exploitation of the third term Idea by Eastern newspapers and politicians during the last few days has revived gossip about that "Cleveland letter." and this afternoon it is given out on apparently good authority, that the President is engaged on a communication on this subject, addressed to a Massachusetts friend. No new Ideas ls to what this letter will contain are advanced, but thl3 tip Is really valuable on account of its source, and no surprise need te felt if the epistle makes its appearance within a week. He has promised that when the necessity shall arise he will make an authorized statement which will leave his position on the third terra no longer In doubt. He to'.d this to a deputation from the Democratic national committee last winter end again gave fimilar assurances to Secretary Carlisle before that gentleman would consent to let himself be run for the Chicago nomination as the administration soundmoney candidate. He even went so far as to give Mr. Carlisle to understand that the letter would bo ready the very first legitimate opportunity that might present itself. tSeveral opportunities have gone out of their way to get in the President's way since then, but he has been singularly blind to their presence In the neighborhood. Now he U said to have taken his pen in hand to indite the important note that will or once end ail efface tiimself from the field of active possibilities and put him beyond .the reach even of conscription.

Connersvllle Democrats liaise an Issue on tbe Electric Plant. Special ' to the Indianapolis Journal. CONNEKSVILLE, Ind., April 10. This city Is considerably worked up over the question of municipal ownership of the electric light plant. The company now owning the plant desires to lease it to the city, by which lease the plant becomes the property of the city In ten years, provided they pay the interest and bonded Indebtedness. Part of the councllmen are In favor of the lease. A great agitation has resulted, and now every candidate is questioned whether he Is for or against the city owning the electric light plant. On May 5 the city election will be held, and while the city is usually Republican by a. good majority, one or two wards are uncomfortably close. The Democrats have made an Issue of the electric light question and axe ngntlng municipal ownership. At the next meeting of the Common Council action on leasing the plant Is expected. If the lease be made many of -the leading Republicans believe that one, and possibly two Democrats will be elected. If tmch is the case the Council will then stand four for and four against the lease. If action should be deferred until the new Council is seated, then it looks very much as If the Mayor would cast the deciding vote. Pike Coonty Ticket. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., April lO.-Jonathan B. Clark, for many years a practicing physician of Economy, Wayne county, has brought suit against Davia M.

Dr. Clark had a license to practice medicine In both Wayne and Randolph counties, but such licenses were issued by the law of 1&5 and prior to the law of 1891. which amended the law of 1S&S. The defendant, in his special answer, avers that he called the plaintiff in consultation with other rmyslcians, but says there were other physicians more convenient to him that he might have caned; that the case treated was not an obstetrical ono nor one of an, emergency, but he contends that he Is not liable for the services because the plaintiff had no valid license when they were rendered; that the issuing of licenses to physicians permitting them to practice their profession in this State is a police refrulatlon which the Legislature has full power to make and change from time to ttm as.it may see fit: that having seen fit to change the law in 1S31. it was incumbent on all physicians who desired to practice In th!s State, and be enabled to. enforce collection of their services, to first comply with this police regulation of the lawmakers.

to the Supreme Court whichever way It Is decided, as a considerable sum is Involved and both parties are fighters, and the final outcome of the case will be of general Interest to the physicians in this State. A. P. A. MET IX MUXCIE.

But let none delude themselves with the bllef that the postal service can ever bt-taVea wholly out of politics.

In Review of Reviews. The Industrial Bureau has proved itself a a double blessing to the community by furnishing honest labor to hundreds of familiesa happy exchange for either free bread or starvation and at the same time it has provided us with a rich supply of the very kinds of materials needed to clothe the hordes of village refugees. As the generosity of the people of England and America permitted us, we gradually increased the number of workers from 476. reported In October, to over 1.000 at the present time. Of these 70 per cent, are women occupied in spinning cotton and wool; 20 per cent, are weavers men and women of cotton and woolen materlalea, and the remaining 10 per cent, are employed as overseers, sizers, carders, spln-dle-flllers, knitterst and sewers of clothing and bedding, while some twenty men are employed as doorkeepers, examiners and clerks. With the exception of three men, who act as accountants and head clerks, every person In the employ of the Industrial Bureau is thereby relieved of actual hunger and suffering. These three men are well known and respected merchants, who, in the total cessation of business, have been able to take up the work. A salary of $7 a month (H Turkish pounds) is given, not in compensation of service, but as a retainer on the part of the management they beinyr to serve their own people in this capacity. The dally pay-roll averaged over two hundred last week, while 146 employed as carders. izers, splndle-fillersi, doorkeepers, etc., were paid their weekly wages last Saturday, as against twenty-seven shown in the October report. As the cold weather has come on, we have been obliged in many cases to supplement the scant wages by gifts of money to buy fuel, or of clothing and bedding. A little goes a great way here, and SO cents (a Turkish Hegldla, or about 4 shillings), whl buy fuel for a family for two cr three months. In some cases we have doubled the rate of wages to enable the family to live as by their own labor, and in some other cases we have helped them by giving an allowance of bread in addition to their wages. Thus, taking every case on its own merits, we endeavor to insure the bare necessities of life to each of our workers. The danger of Imposition necessitates- keeping a corps of workers busy examining into cases, since we believe no one's sttfry until our own agents have verified it. No one can tell what a boon this work Is to these poor people, and they do not fail to give frequent and enthusiastic acknowledgment of It. The cost of the Industrial Bureau at its present running capacity is some 25 Turkish pounds ($110) a day, including the cost of the raw material used. Hence, we are giving work to 1.C00 persons who support about 5,000 souls at an expense to us of 21-5 cents per capita, while the product of their labor (already paid for in the 25 pounds dally expenditure) furnishes us with abundant supplies of clothing for distribution. We frequently supply from 100 to 150 families with clothing In a single day, and if we were to pussh our division of average cost still further it would bring us to email fractions. Don't De Decadent Chicago Post. Whenever you meet a friend who begins to talk about the dec-adent school of literature, with a strong accent on the 'dec," do not laugh In his face or pass him by with" scorn, but take him gently aside and talk to him quietly, and try to convince him that the fleeting fad of a few would-be dictators does not establish a pronunciation. You will find that the people who say dec-adent are those who talk about "gheing." instead of the sterling old "guying." and Indulge in other orthoepic absurdities for which there is no sound or apparent reason. Don't say dec-adent because it happens to be popular in certain fashionable and frivolous sets, and above all don't be deca-dent in any set. Abbey In St. Louis. Chicago Post. Mr. Abbey's opera company is in SL Louis this week, and the press is rising to the occasion with a little of its old-time vigor. It Is gratifying to learn that "opera cloaks were in demand," that "there were 3C7 carriages in waiting." that "Samuel C. Davis arrived ia time for tho second act," that "AdolphuK Busch &uJd he will not miss a night this week." and that "frock coats and cutaways were conspicuous by their absence." But we miss the cheering slogan of old, the far cry 'that awoke fash

ionable St. Louis from its slumbers and stirred the pulses of the somnolent: "Mqso Fraley was there, you bet I" What Is an opera season in SL Louis without the glory of laying odds at ten to one that Mose Fraley was there? How could Bevlgnanl raise his baton with any of his usual vigor and enthusiasm unassured of the presence of Mose Fraley? O Tityrua, the very fine trees mourn you! No wonder that Mr. Grau, eagerly Inspecting the audiences and anxiously scanning the "Notes in the Aisles" in the morning papers, shook his head and announced that this was the last visit of the opera company to St. Louis, and that the ancient glory had departed. HONORS FOR MIMvACSV.

The Great Painter to lie Given n Title br the Hnngarlnn Government. New York Recorder. . Probably the mo3t popular resort of, the artistically inclined members of the haute monde of Paris is the residence - of ill. De Munkacsy. the artist whose 'pletire of "Christ Before Pilate" will make his ntme as famous in the future as that of Michael Angelo. In recognition of his genius the Hungarian government Is to create a position for him similar to that held by the Poet Laureate of England. This, it is hoped, will Induce him to foresake the pleasures of Paris and return to Buda-Pesth. The title of the proposed office has not yet been selected, but the consensus of opinion seems to be In favor of "Director of Art." M. De Munkacsy's establishment is conducted on a scale of gorgeous grandeur. Magnificently attired servants, arrayed in uniforms of blue and white, usher the visitor Into a suite of apartments whose chief caracteristlc is an atmosphere of quiet elegance and good taste. In the salon Mme. Munkacsy hold9 receptions on Friday afternoons, which are patronized by all the members cf the Four Hundred. At the same time the artist holds a levee In his stujlo on the floor above. . . - The furnishings of the salon form a superb background to the pictures from the brushes of the old masters, as well as the best works of many students of the modern school, which adorn the walls. The hangings are of blue velvet, embroidered with silver, while an Imposing mantel, which cost the artist 60,000 francs, Is one of the features of the chamber. A Louis Qulnze settee, on which that Illustrious monarch is said to have sat. Is another feature of the. apartment. The walls of the hallways are completely covered with, a snperb colectlon of Gobelin tapestry. ... But the most important feature of all In this gorgeous establishment is the artist himself. M. De Munkacsy Is a striking figure, tail and distingue, his rather youthful face surmounted by a profusion of fluffy gray hf tr. His eyes are of the deepest blue and are shaded by shaggy brows cf the same color as his hair. To a stranger his manner ts somewhat reserved, but always kind, and when once his friendship is rained he becomes' the most treniai ana whole-souled companion imaginable. His favorite pupil was Mile. Hone Rado. who Is now an artist In this city. Miss Rado atood by M. De Munkacsy's chair durlnjr the eight years in which he painted his masterpieces. Speaking of him she says: "Of all men, M. De Munkacsy bears his honors with the greatest modesty." Then she naively adds: "If he has a vanity. It Is his email, symmetrical foot, which is always attired in patent leather pumps of the very latest style." M. De Munkacsy la now nfty-four years old and was one of a family of five children whose father, a lawyer, was killed in the Hungarian revolution of 184S. The children were distributed among the relatives of their father's family, and the embryo artist and his ulster Thresa were feint to an uncle who fofl lowed the same profession as his father. The times were hard for the Hungarians, and the lawyer soon found it impossible to keep the little boy at school, bo at the early age of eight he w?.s apprenticed to a carpenter. Ills talent for drawing, however, was so evident that it could not be ignored, and after a little instruction he became a teacher of the art. At the age of sixteen his constitution was so undermined by overwork that he was confined to his bed for several months, during which time he laid cut plansfor an artistic career, wnich were finally approved by his guardian. At the age of twenty De Munkacay went to .Buda-Pesth. where he studied, taught and painted, and, led a wretched lUe, sometimes being on the verge of starvation. Later, he studied In the Vienna Academy, from which he was expelled on account of one of his student pranks. Thence he went to Munich, where 83 hard was his lot that he telegraphed home for a remittance of 50 florins. But before his lmpecun!ou9 relatives could gather together the gold another message came, reading. "Never mini the money. I sold a picture for 20,000 marks." This work was entitled "The Last Days of a Condemned," and was unfinished when discovered by a noted dealer named Selgelmeyer. This was a turning point in his ca- , reer. Among his earlier works was Milton," now the property of the Lenox Library, which was the result of his studies in Dusseldorf, where he worked with Knaus, with whom he was not a favorite. Thus, like Murillo. Raphael and Michael Angelo, the creator of the most famous picture of modern times started from the bottom of the ladder, and. after much destitution and poverty, will end his days in luxury furnished through his genius and effort. A LANDED POET. Did Joaquin Miller Get His Property by AVrltlnar Verse r San Francisco Post. The unpoetlc protest made by Joaquin Miller against the high taxes levied upon h'.m by the officials of Alameda county has brought out the astonishing fact that he is an incipient millionaire. According to Assessor Dalton, the Poet of the Sierras owns forty-six and a half acres of land on the side of Redwood Peak. It is assessed for (50 an acre, and Is unquestionably worth double that amount, as the boldest assessor rarely assesses at above 50 per cent. Here, then, is, $4,600. The improvements are assessed at 1150, and as such property Is never assessed at above 25 per cent, of its value. it is safe to say that hLs hillside residence would stand Mr. Miller in $T,0C0 and over. In addition, the poet has 22.53 acres near by which stands in the name of his mother, Abbie S. MUler. This is assessed at $1,700 and is worth J3.300. He ,has also twenty-eight lots in the Lynn addition to Brooklyn, assessed at frrrn to each. Here is .OO") more. He has also four lots in the Northern Addition, assessed at JGOO and mortgaged to the Oakland Bank of Savings for $700. Here is $1,200 more. Total valuation of all Mr. Miller's real property. $12,700. The ques.ion whether Mr. Miller H being assessed fairly upon this property Is of minor moment. The staggering probrem is, where did he get it? writing poetry? That Is Impossible, unless the history of poetry is about to be turned backward. Poets are proverbially Impecunious and even those who, in pursuance of the design of an inscrutable and all-wise Providence, have been born to a competence, generally have managed to disslpej It and die in the poor house. Mr. Miller certainly owes posterity an explanation. Did he inherit this property? Ha? rome opulent admirer of his rhymes made him a. gift of it? Can it he possible that after all he l not a poet? Of course, this last inquiry, if answered affirmatively, would explain everything. Thouffhtful Matinee Girl. New York Evening Bun. Ther was a clever girl at the matinee the other afternoon who solved the big hat wearing problem to her own satisfaction, however it may have suited others. In the first place the hat fche had on wasn't such a very big one anyway. It was of such modest proportions, indeed, that the people back of the girl lifted up their voices In a regular Jubilate when she first sat down. But she Iw.dn't been seated very long before she turned to the man with her (which fact alone of having a man with her made her different from most matinee girls) and said: "Lock here, Harry, do you know I'm going to take off my hat. Oh, yes, I am, too. you needn't try to dissuade me (not that he had tried to dissuade her in the least, but it sounded well). Just think how dreadful it la to keep dodging a big hat ai: the time during a theater performance! I call it regularly outrageous in any woman, I don't care who she Is, to keep on her hat in a playhouse." and then, her hat off, this considerate young woman proceeded to also take off her coat, roll It up Into a foot thick bundle and deposit it on the seat beneath her. Oh. " Harry," she cried, "I can see lots better this way, and do you know, I believe I could. see rtlli better if I had your coat, too?" Whereupon the obliging Harry rolled up his great coat likewise and pi:ed it on top of the girl's coat, while those behind chanted a regular miserere. "There," said the maiden so mindful of othtr persons comfort as she endeavored to balance herself upon the sartorial pyramid, "that's Just lovely. I'm monarch of all I survey now. Oh.

JAY GOULD'S BIG COUP

THE GIFT TO CRAXT USED BY TIIC UNSCRUPULOUS FlXANdCIti True History of the Sly Game In Which Gould Blade a Fortune out of Wabnsb. Preferred. New York Press. Here is tha hitherto unpublished story of one of the most remarkable financial coups ever engineered by Jay Grould. About twenty years ago Gould had in his possession an immense block of Wabash shares, and none of the arts which he knew how to employ so skillfully would induce the public to take them up. He manipulated the market artfully, and both the common and preferred stocks had been advanced to high quotations. He caused paragraphs to be Inserted in some of the newspapers, calculated to tempt people to invest, but all to no purpose. The public fought shy of Wabash, and the stock still remained on hl3 hands. The question was how to get rid of this most unmarketable security. Nobody knew better than Crould that It was almost valueless intrinsically. The problem, therefore, was to induce the public to believe that it was worth the fictitious price at which it was quoted, to obtain fcr himself that price, and let the public have the shares. Jay Gould was, above all things, a man of many expedients. He considered for awhile, and then evolved the most remarkable scheme to get rid of the stock at his own figure that the street ever has known. A day or two after he had decided on his maneuver the people of America (and of England also) were informed through published reports that It was proposed to raise a fund to be offered as a testimonial to General Grant. The General, so the notice read, had been the recipient hitherto of many honors from the country for wnlch he had done so much, but these honors had been of an empty, Intangible character. Innumerable swords, for instance, had been presented to him. In his tour around the world numberless honors, costing the givers nothing, had been showered upon him such as resolutlons of admiration and the freedom of many cities. It was. therefore, proposed to offer to General Grant a testimonial of a more substantial nature. It was well known that he was not ovei burdened with riches, and it was proposed that the moneyed men of New York should see to It that, the old age of the country's benefactor should be untroubled by any consideration of a financial character. GOULD GAVE KW.0O0. A committee consisting of responsible business men had met to further this meritorious object. It may be mentioned In passing that this committee was formed by an individual in Jay Gould's confidence, Gould's name, however, being discreetly kept in the background. The scheme had originated with him and ft was he who had caused the notices to be published and the arrangements to -be made; but, like all tru,e well-doers, he kept modestly out of the way, content with the Inward consciousness that he had done a good deed. His name, however, appeared on the first Hat of subscribers for 150,000, and four other Wall-street men gave equal amounts. So unknown was Gould's Interest in the affair that it was only on the suggestion of his confidant (who had arranged the committee) that Russell Sage and Gould were "approached." Mr. Sage offered to give XG0,000 if Mr. Gould did likewise, "It is a large amount," he fald, "but the purpose Is a laudable one." I Mr. Gouid signified his willingness to do the same, and the committee, all unconscious that Jay Gould himself was the real wirepuller of the whole affair, congratulated themselves on their success. (Then other men were also solicited at the sugges tion of Gould s confidant, and. In a few days, a quarter of a million dollars was subscribed. This sum, then, was in the committee's hands, ready for presentation to ,the General. It was decided to make the presentation a ceremonious event, that it should receive as much publicity as possible. Then came the serious question. In what form would lt.be most fitting that the gift should be made? Of course, the alaln cash could have been handed to General Grant, but the committee had delicate and conscientious scruples against this. It was felt that it would be more to the General's advantage if the gift should be in thetform of some securitysomething of which the stability and value should be unquestioned. This decision was reported In all the newspapers, and the result of the grave deliberations of the Investment committee, as to the most advantageous stock, was awaited with the greatest interest. INVESTED IN WABASH. After mature and anxious thought it was announced In every Journal in the 'United States and Europe that the committee had finally and unanimously decided on Wabash preferred as a stock of which the value was unquestioned and the dividend paying properties most assured. The money subscribed was, therefore, expended in Wabash at above ninety a share. It did not appear that the stock was Bold j any cheaper on account of the purpose for I which it was intended. It was. explained, on J the other hand, that the purchase of such a huge block cf stock at once naturally had the effect of sending the price a point or two higher. It was not added that every dollar's worth of Wabash before its sale was the property of Jay Gould and his associates. This little benevolent scheme relieved the astute financier .of some portion of his white-elephant-like burden. But pray don't go away with the Impression that the sale of the stock for the Grant testimonial was the end of hU scheme. It was oniv the beginning. The amount he got rid of In this way was only a drop in the ocean. Now regard the marveious astuteness of the Little Wizard. Of course, he took care that the decision of the committee should receive publicity. In every city in America and Europe the journals announced that Wabash had been selected as the most promising investment in America. The result was Just what the great Jay anticipated. From all cuarters arose a demand for Waba.h. The stock had teceived the finest advertisement that any promoter could possibly wish, and Gould and his associates were enabled to dipose of the entire amount in their possession. How were the committee Induced to choose Wabash as the fltte?t stock for investment? The explanation of this is only another instance of the marvelous power of intrigue possessed by the man who was at the bottom of the whele plan, but whom nobody, except his recret agent, ever knew had any interest in it beyond his JiO.OOO subscription. MR. MORGAN GUARANTEED. This agent, after the money had been collected, suggested that an Investment committee be appointed, and his Idea was adopted. One cf the members was a Mr. Morgan no, It was not J. Plerrepont Morgan and when the question as to the most suitable stock came up he clinched the matter by offering to guarantee the interest on Wabash (so sure was he cf 1U soundness) for a term of years. This settled it,' and Wabash was selected. Mr. Morgan could well afford to do this, as by it he, for it was he who was associated with Jay Gould an Russell Sage in the scheme, -cleared a profit amounting to many times the amount of the principal of the Grant testimonial. Most cf the stock which Gould and his clique were, by this advertisement, able to dispose of went to England. Of course, the stock went to pieces soon afterward. Within four, years it declined from above ninety to about five a share, and also had to pay a heavy assessment, but to this day, the motive which promoted the testimonial and tn selection cf Wabash has never been known to the unsuspecting committee nor to any except a few Wall-street men. The Grant estate General Grant hime!f having died shortly after this RiagnitWnt piece of generosity came out cr the afTali Just about even. That is to cay, the interest the estate received for a number of years, which interest was paid by the 'Morgan estate Just about equaled the assessment levied on the stock. Whether, however, the heirs of General Grant were thankful fct having to pay a large cash amount In return for what they had been annually receiving as incom., is open to question. Had it not been fcr Mr. Morgan's guarantee General Grant and his heirs would, by thir much advertised gift, have lost a large amount of money. As it was. they received a return from the stock for a number cf years, only to be obliged to give It back lr. a lump sura. The fete tr.it befell this same Morgan mcney most of it gained in this coupforms, though not puri of the story, a fitting conclusion to it. It seem. -as though Neme-

sis has followed at leat one of those who

played the game, Mr. Morgan aiea, leaving a large, though not an immense fortune. Most of it an amount omeimng over a miiHnn aiirs. went to his son, who In herited his father's taste for speculatloa. without his ability. THE STREET GUTTED. Young Mr. Morgan bought a seat on th Stock Exchange and set up as a broker. Just about this time one of the cleverest manipulators the street has ever known conceived the Idea of a huge speculation in Manhattan. A "boom" in the stock was soon set afloat in the ordinary way, and to do Justice to the manipulator, who was working, presumably, for Cyrus Field, those "Who followed his advice in the first instance profited. In this case it was not alone tbe money of the general public he was after. , A Urge number of accounts were opt neit in different offices, and, strange to say. tho brokers were invariably rich and Inexperienced young men. The manipulator wis mysterious and Insinuating. Before long each, separate young broker flattered himself that he. and he alone, was his personal favorite and confidant. The stock had advanced from par to fomething over lio. The manipulator confidentially Informed each cf lh"! brokers that It was going to 17. Strict secrecy was enjoined, and, as Is ordinarily the case withi secrets of this kind, before long the broker and their friends had invested every cent they could raise In expectation of the rbe. Young Morgan was carrying trn thousand shares for himself and as much more for customers and fnends. The crash came suddenly. Russell Sage' broker appeared on the Uoor of the Exchange with an unlimited felling ord-r. At 155 a supporting order of ten thousand waa met. After this the stock broke suddenly and with few intervening sales fell to IIS. In fifteen minutes a hundred fortunes had been lost. Young Morgan sacrificed the larger part of his ratriroony, and. though, he was supposed to be the greatest loser, many others lost everything. As in the caw of Wabash, it was only another instar.ee of misplaced confidence, but this timo tn "street" as well as the public suffered. CAP OP TUB SPHINX. An Amerlean'tJlseoTer- the Old Rtllo Fifteen Feet t'nder Ground. New Ycrk Recorder. ' It has remained for an Xrt.crlcan to scire, at least in part, the mystery of the ?pa.nx of Egypt. This American is CoL G. E. Raum. cf California. Ha bas been for i.rae tim conducting investigations in the East. and. he has long taken a deep interest in ie pyramids, the Sphinx and other wonders of the land of the Pharoshs. The whole -tory-of these huge evidence of the activity of generations long since passed awiy. hid n.vtr. he felt, been told, and a rich field yt remained! for the explorer and the an;lquarlan in digging, measuring- and lnvcstlgatlrc about their foundation. After a careful investigation of the great Sphinx, which itares out upon the de?cr wate of Ghlteh. CoJonel Raum came to th conclusion thai there were parts, of it yet unaccounted for. He- found In the head cf the Sphinx a deep hole that had no apparent, connection 'with the design of the head, and. was obviously meant to support tome forra of crown or hfad dre?s. This hola had been rtUed up with." the sand, of the desert and hal been overlooked for centuries. The Sphinx Ls S3 old that ther aro no authentic traditions regarding It In its complete pute, and nobody knows to-dar what !t really means. Colonel Raum came to the conclusion thm the hole in the head of the Sphinx hail been meant to support a cap, which waai evidently part of its symbolical des'gn. He concluded that this can was a large stone affair and that Its weight had probably been so great that it could not have been carried very far away and was probably buried somewhere In the Immediate vicinity of thp Sphinx. Colonel Raum started to dig for the can at the foot of the fc'phlnx. In the course of his work he came upon a subterranean temple beneath the forepaws of this colossal monument to the glory of some past ruler of Egypt. Here in this small temp!e beneath th sands of the denert the long-missing cap of the Sphinx has been found. It exactly fits the hole in the head of the monument. It was discovered at a distance of fifteen feet below the surface, The stone cap bears a carved design. This design shows three lotus columns with a snake beneath them, besides an ornamental carved border. The stone cap meas ures four feet three Inches In width at th bottom. It is two feet feet two inches across the tcp. , . All of the stone cap la painted red, tha color still showing clearly after many centuries. Bo long has this cap been buried; at this spot, from which the enterprise or ' an American has now unearthed it, that there is no record of its having been in Its place cn the head of the Sphinx from the earliest record of that stone monster. It was probably in this identical place at the time of Christ, having been no doubt taken down during some previous epoch of disturbance in Egypt. The cap will now undoubtedly bo either restored to Its proper place on the head of the fcphlnx or placed in one of Egypt'- fine public museums. THAT SAME OLD nLAClt DRESS. Time Women Should Give Less Heed to Festive1 Atttrc. . Philadelphia Presa. With the policy of Secretary J. Sterling Morton as head of the Department of Agriculture the Press has been, in general, unable to agree. With the practice of Miss Morton, who represents Secretary Morton at the White House receptions, in the matter of dress, the Press and all sensible men ami women can agree. Miss Morton has affronted the Washington society correspondents by appearing in the "same old black dress" at three receptions. Why shouldn't she? Men appear in the same old black coat for fifty receptions together. There was a time when men had a new coat for each great social gathering, wore all the colors of the spectrum and ran to lace and feathers on all gala occasions. As rrpdern life grew In complexity men dropped colors, eschewed lace and feathers, adopted one rigid pattern and appeared! garbed, alike. If women are to bear the strain of modern life they will have to adopt the same plan. When women did nothing but keep home and adorn themselves unceasing change in dress was possible. Women do much more now. Mcst women In coniplcuous position are carrying on as much work as men. They have as many engagements, they are on as many committees, and the entire "unpaid work" which keeps society moving, in and out of "society is nearly ail on their shoulders. If the toll and time of varied costume are kept on their shoulders besides, nervous collapse ls Inevitable. With all the modern dl-. vision of labor, a woman has to pick and choo5e, to decide and plan for herself In the matter of costume. The habit of constantly varying dresa and the desire to make it individual and striking Is a tremendous tax on all women engaged In serious work. Men have emancipated themselves from it. They all, rich and poor, wear the same uniform, democratic social costume, varied by small, minute differences of which tailors keep track. This is an enormous gain to the simplicity of life. When Miss Morton appeared at three receptions in "that same oil black dress" she took three long, sensible steps along the path In which men have long; since set their feet and fount peace, comfort and freedom. When women begin, like men. to have a social uniform which a wenbred woman can wear indefinitely they will have both time and strength for life's serious work. As long as they maintain their nre?ent struegle for novelty they will break down with tolerable regularity under tht pressure of civilization. ' 1 The Bicycle's Reform Influence. Chicago Tribune.
