SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1896.

A NEW FEATURE.

With the issue of next week, March 21st, The Mail will begin the publication of the "Weir of Herm^ton," the last Btory written by Robert Louis Stevenson, upon which be was engaged at the time of bis death. The story has been copy righted in all the countries of the world, and the sole right of publication in this vicinity has been secured through an eastern syndicate. The popularity achieved by Stevenson's work during his lifetime has been increased by the publication of his last stories, and to-day there is probably uo author whose books are BO generally sought after us bis.

The "Weir of Uermiston" is one of a series of high-cla^s storieM secured by The Mail for publication during the coming year, and among the contriDuting writers who may be named are Anthony Hope, auther of the popular "Prisoner of Zenda," Oouan Doyle creator of Sherlock Holmes, R. D. Blackmore, author of "Lorna Dooue," Bret Harte, S. R. Crockett, The Duobeas, Gilbert Parker, Frank R. Stockton, Ian MaoLaren, and other authors equally well known. This service is superior to anything ever before offered to any newspaper readers here or abroad, and we feel that it will be appreciated by the readers of The Mail.

SPAIN has in her list of cabinet officers a minister of mercy and justice, but it is very evident that he has little to do with the conduct of the war in Cuba.

ABOUT the only striking characteristic developed by Captain General Weyler since he started in to crush the Cuban rebellion is his ability to "take his pen In hand."

HAVING issued a threateniqg proclamation against the insurgent tbachers of divinity, it is to be nxpected that General Weyler's next warlike document will be against the insurgent kindergartens.

A NEW party in California has endorsed Senator Morgan of Alabama, for president aud Senator Allen, of Nebraska, for vice-president. An appropriate party emblem to use on such a ticket would be a windmill.

SENATOR FOKAKKR has spoken in favor of the caudidacy of Mr. MoKinley, but the people would enjoy his speech more if they could bring themselves to believe that Mr. Foraker, the lire-alarm orator, meant exactly what be said.

Ir Cuba could p.*y tifty or sixty millions a year uarier ttie Spanish splla tion, for that Is wliic the system of tax ation really means, what 19 that wonderfully productive island oapable of under the bent methods of government?

SOMR Ohio ministers allowed their patriotism to go so far that they refused to eatSpanish onions at a recent banquet. If their patriotism was as strong as the onions they condemn they would not be led by its influence to do suoh foolish things.

THERE is yet a laok of interest in ths Democratic nomination for president. Thia is partly due to the fact that the Democrats who do not want Mr. Cleveland to be the candidate are waiting to see if he is going to make them give him the nomination.

THE bosses in politics can no doubt buy up the heelers who "ran" their wards, but they can't buy up the masses of the people, and that is what is worrysome of the men who are oppoeed to the boom the Ohio man is enjoying at the hands of the oommon poople.

OVIR one-sixth of the entire number of delegates to the Republican national convention have already been selected, and nearly one-half of them are for William MoKinley, of Ohio. Unto* the McKlnley pendulum begins to swing backward soon, it looks as If no other oandidate will be In it when the oon rention meets.

base ball controversy in dead ear nest. The new otty administration says it will not stop it and the nlub management is preparing to have Sunday ball. The labor unions are petitioning for it and many of the beet citisens are talking In favor of it. No one seriously considers the question from the standpoint of enforcement of law. Men who are not to be classed as lawbreaker* calmly advise that thia law be violated. Here and there eome one discusses the law question as to its relations to the dootrineof popular government and want* to know if the

good citizens who are deliberately advising that the law be violated appreciate the fact that they are giving license for the violation of other laws. The good citizens do not consider the point but simply say that Sunday base ball is a rational and healthful Sunday amnsement and not calculated to injure the jnorai tone of the community.

FBOM the array of Honorables," officers in the British army, who were arraigned in the British courts this week for participating in the Jameson raid in South Africa in December, the English government will have a hard time to prove that it knew nothing of that illadvised and unsuccessful attempt to se cure control of the Transvaal republic.

KENTUCKY has been maligned. It is not the "dark and bloody ground." There have been scores of oocAaiona since the legislature began balloting for a United States senator whea it was the proper thing to use a pistol or a knife acoording to the supposed Kentucky Idea of "honor," which is a hair-spring affair, but the only deaths of legislators have been from natural causes

THE demonstrations against the government of the United States in Spain have taken the form that may be ex pected in monarch ridden Europe, in favor of the overthrow of the government now in control of the majority of the countries. Many of those who enjoy the pleasures of life will live to see a republican form of government in Italy, Spain, and the other countries that now enjoy, more or less, monarchial forms of government.

Now that the Abyssinians have whipped the Italians, we learn that the Afri cans are and have been Christians for a long time and that they are up to date in civilized warfare. Anyhow th9re will be less of the incursion* into thnt country. The European govern meats which want more foothold there will re sort to tba arn of p*aca, such as bribery and diplomacy, which latter is lying and cheating, to gain their point. King Menelek is doubly entrenched since he whipped Humbert's soldiers.

THE Chicago Record, which, to The Mail's way of thinking, is the best daily newspaper for home reading published in the United States—and for that matter, in the whole world, for the papers of the United States are the best in the world— announced last Saturday the results of the competition for some thirty thousand dollars In prizes offered by it a year ago for the best "stories of mystery" submitted to it for publication. The first prize, $10,000, was won by Harry Stillwell Edwards, a southern wr.ter of considerable prominence, who has contributed some excellent short stories to the leading magaziues, while the other prizes ranging in value from $3,000 to 9500 were awarded to writers of perhaps less note, seven of the successful competitors being natives o(^}3ngland. This prize competition is probably the most ambitious effort of that kind ever attempted by a newspaper, and the inter est in it was such that stories were offered in competition from nearly every quarter of the world, the Transvaal, Australia, South America, nearly every country in Europe, aud almost every state in the union. Toe success of this competition proves that enterprise in.the right direction suoceecis as well iu the news paper business as in any other, and the Record will no doubt reap a golden harvest In new subscriptions, as it deserves to, when it begins the publication of these prize stories.

News Which la Qood News to Women. It is a fact that our women who suffer from female oomplaints and are conse quently weak, tired, nervous, draggedout and full of pains and aches, do not have the same opportunity to be cured as do the residents of the great oities where the most successful specialists in female diseases reside. In other words, our women are debarred from seeking a oure by the great and skilled physioians owing to the oost of travel to the large city and the high fees oharged by suoh specialists.

Here, therefore, is a ohanoe for the siok and suffering women of ouf community whioh should not be lost. Dr. Greene of 85 West Fourteenth St., New York City, who has the largest practioe in the world and who is without doubt the must sue cessful specialist in curing female oomplaints, offers to give free oonsultation by mail to all women suffering from these distressing weaknesses, discharges, pains and irregularities. You have the privilege of oonsulting Dr., Greene by letter desoribing your oomplaints and he will, after oarefully considering your oondltlon, send a letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your oomplaints ao plainly that you will understand exactly what alls you. He will also give you his ad viee, based upon his vast experience and wonderful suooess in treating suoh oases, as to just what to do to get oured. All this will ooat you nothing and you oan thus have oonsultation with the best known and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world without leaving home and at no expense whatever, The Doctor ia the diaooverar of that greatest of all known medioinea, Dr. Greene' Nervura blood and nerve reme dy, and he has discovered many other most valuable remedies. Write to him now about your case for this Is a ohanoe to get oured which you may never have again. 'Ss*

GLIMPSES OF FASHION.

Chatelaine pocketbooks are seen on many well-dressed tailor-made women. Illuminated cheviot mixtures and Scotch tweeds come in latest color combinations.

Six-inch bands of black or cream chif fon make suitable frilling*. Double plat tings of straw-colored chiflton trim the brims of some of the large hats.

Skirts are to be narrower this spring, but will be out in very much the same way, fitting smoothly over the hips, the fullness all in a small space in the back.

Black lisse or mousseline having white appliques are used for very stylish blouses. Tucked chiffon in black and colors forms dainty designs trimmed with lace insertion, plain and spangled ribbon.

Horse-hair laces are and will remain popular with milliners, because the very charaoter of the material enables them to make gooji standing bows and ends of it, and it also holds its shape very well.

Kate Field is a brilliant, tearless writer, and a bold, convincing lecturer. Her threat elm in life is to combat what she rgues are the fallacies of prohibition, and her services a-e in constant demand all over the land 1 wmsifi. ..

Remarkable Growth of an Indiana Insurance Company. The following is clipped froin

Spectator, an insurance journal published in New York: "The state of Indiana has but one lfgal reserve life insurance company chartered under its laws, which was incorporated in 1882 and possesses a perpetual charter. It bears the name of the Mutual Life In surance Co. of Indiana and is fast be coming a popular institution among the people of its home state. It is not a large company, if magnitude of opera tion be considered, but it is in a strong financial condition. Auditor of State A C. Daily, certifies to the fact that tb*« company on the 1st of January l««t possessed assets amounting to $394,314. and that its policy reserves, being its only liability, amounted to $216,831, leaving a net surplus of $177,483. He also certifies that the company has on deposit with his department interest bearing securities to the amount of $205 700. This company loans its moneys to its policy holders only, on the building and loan plan, the policiesof the borrow era therefore being an additional security besides the bonds covering the property mortgaged. The company has nearly nine-tenths of its assets invested in this way, being the best possible in vestment it could make. W. R. Myers, an ex-state official of Indiana, is presi dent of the oompany, and Henry Malpas is its secretary. Mr. Malpas is a diligent worker in his company's interests and keeps it well before the publio in Its own state. Eventually he hopes to make it favorably known outside."
