The order granted the United States Telephone company by the Cleveland federal court, restraining independent and Bell companies which have enter

ed into a long distance working agreement, from operating services Into towns where there is a conflict with the United States company, is still in effect. The hearing of the case was to have been held December 4, but it was at that time Indefinitely postponed. Manager Noah Hutton, of the local Bell company, states that the restraining order has not affected the local situation greatly. He states that the joint long distance service cannot be operated Into any Ohio town or city except Cincinnati, but that the service can be operated into almost every town and city in Indiana. "The bulk of our Ohio business is to Cincinnati, so our business In that state is not so seriously affected," he said. chases. There has been an unusually large amount of wearing apparel sold this season. A dealer In toys declared this is customary early in the season and that his busiest time always comes in the last few days. Children have an Idea nothing will suit but a toy and although the parents have purchased some of the necessaries of life earlier, they usually return in the later days and buy some of the toys. Many of the stores are decorated in an artistic manner. One of the prettiest interiors is presented at the sales rooms of the Starr Piano company. Red, blue and green incandescent lights, holly, cedar and cut flowers have been used to make a very effective appearance. A cedar bower has been erected at the entrance to the Humpe shoe store. Colored lights are used at night. The interior of nearly all the dry goods stores has been decorated in some way appropriate to the season. th wnigs. In United States history "Whig" denotes those who In colonial times opposed British rule. It Is also the name adopted in 1834 by the survivors of the old National .Republican party after its defeat by Jackson in 1832. In the opinion of these survivors Jackson was a worse tyrant than George III. had been, and In their revolt against him they took the old name Whig. The party after gaining several notable victories made way In 1854 for the present Republican party. Whig is a shortened form of "Whlggamor," a nickname of the peasaptry of the western lowlands of Scotland, derived from "whiggam," a sound used by them in driving their horses. New York American.

It is not without interest in this connection to recall the fact that after the tests of the Wright machine at Fort j Meyer had demonstrated the feasibili1 ty of heavler-than-air machines, and ; examination of the Langley machine ; disclosed that it had been built on i substantially the same lines as the successful machine of the Wright Brothers. Ita failure to fly had been due ; to the launching apparatus and not to any fault in the principle of the machine itself. It also is fair to say that the Wright Brothers had worked independently of the Langley plans and had no knowledge of them. Capital's Notable Visitor. One of the most notable visitors to the capital this winter is ex-Queen Liliuokalanl, of Hawaii, who is here to persuade congress to agree to paying her $200,000 in compensation for surrender of the crown lands in Hawaii. The ex-queen has pushed this claim before without success, but she is getting old now. and if the American government is ever going to compensate her for the loss of her lands it will have to be soon, If the former Hawaiian ruler is personally to profit.

Randolph a Sufferer. In Randolph county the number of roads petitioned for and ordered constructed was so large that in some townships the protest was taken into the courts, but o no avail. The road benefitted a sufficient number of property owners to induce them to sign the petition, and as their property benefitted they did not refuse their signatures. The same extreme was reached in other counties, hence the general complaint that Representative Ratliff will hope to remedy by his proposed measure.

Wishes Austria to Evacuate and Herzegovina. Bosnia Belgrade, Dec. 12. Believing that Turkey now holds the whip hand in her negotiations with Austria, as the result of the latter's initiative in reopening the negotiations, Servia has renewed her request that Turkey require Austria to evacuate Bosnia and Herzegovina before agreeing to any settlement. It is realized that there is no possibility of Austria agreeing to such a course, but Servia hopes to better her chances of an indemnity from Aus- i trla by offering every possible obstacle to the conclusion of an agreement between Austria and Turkey.

CHARMING DOLLY MADISON. The Greatest ef All the MUtrnm mt the White Heaae. To define the charm of a charming woman Is always difficult Dolly Madison's features were not regular, nor was her figure perfect. She was not witty, nor was she wise, and she participated little if at all in her husband's intellectual life. Nevertheless she stands out as the greatest of all mistresses of the White House, and her popularity was unbounded. She ruled over her world in Washington with genial good nature and instinctive tact. Her nature was warm, affectionate and impressionable. She loved life aud people, and her world loved her. - Her brilliant coloring, animated face and well rounded figure went with a cordial manner and a sympathy for those about her amounting to genius, and she was always ready to bubble into laughter. Who could resist such a woman, the wife of a president? She was the center of observation at the inaugural ball, but she would have been the center of observation at any ball even If she had not been the president's wife. She had, in fact, ruled as Indisputably over the little boarding bouse In Philadelphia kept by her mother when she was the Widow Todd as she did over the White House ss Mrs. Madison.
