The Galveston News thinks a woman has no business to sew for the heathen when her husband has to wear a longtailed coat in the summer time. Wouldn't the man rather have, the heathen than himself wear the coats his Wife makes? Go to!

The Fair Association of Mason county, Michigan, recognizing a call for reform, will substitute for horse races and ball games, a!t its 'next fair, papers on important toiplcs. We see the reform and would like to see the reformed listening to the papers.

News is very scarce from Abyssinia when we are told that Menelik may conclude to daim up tihe Nile and cut off Egypt's water supply. Fortunately they are short oif shovels over there and our shovel trust has raised prices and cut down the production.

The Ohio Prohilb'i'tion platform is an epitome o'f modern discovery. It is for the referendum, income tax, 'government ownership of railroads, reciprocity, temperance in liquor, intemperance in silver money, and some other things, and every man in the party understands all the issues fully.

President !Depe?w of the New York Central does not like the !bill that calls a bicycle a trunk. When he sees how m'any cyclists will take a run out on 'the railroad to find how long it will take to wheel back, or will dash out into the sta'te to be hauled home for rest and re-pairs he will disoover that it is a good bill.

In the selection o'f delegates for the Michigan Democratic convention one aspirant appeared who was for silver but was not sure how many pounds o.f, silver ought to foe equal 'to one of gold. He went through with a rush, however, when it- was announced he could be relied upon to tgo for free coinage as Mr. Cleveland had turned him down as postmaster. That will account for a number of silver Democrats.

The sugar planters of iJouisiana in this weeks' election were arrayed against fraud. In spite of the intimidation and chicanery resorted to by the Democratic leaders they are able to claim only 15,000 majority instead of 70.000 they had on 1S92. The Democrat io press of the north may try to dra. watten'titon from the methods of the Louisiana Democrats by talking of protection and sugar bounties, but the planters were fighting fraud and corruption when they leift the Democratic party of Louisiana.

Mr. CoWb of Alabama has been unseated in congress, a slight discrepancy In figures showing that he claimed more votes in 'the '^black belt" than there were voters. A similar reckless manner of counting votes in Southern Democratic districts has 'been discovered in Louisiana. It appears that down there a strong objection is made to colored men voting, which is offset by the desire to count their uncast votes as Democratic. The peaceful solution of the colored question in Louisiana and some other states is for the colored men to stay at home and allow the Democrats to cast or count their votes.

Senator Henry Caibot Lodge was called upon to express the profound reapect Massachusetts holds for the governor's office in memorial addresses in honor of two men who had held that office. On Sunday, at Lexington, as the beginning o»f the anniversary services of the fight at Lexington, April 19, 1775, he paid an eloquent tribute to ex-Gov-ernor Robinson, a descendant of a Lexington hero and three times governor. On the day before he had spoken no less eloquently in eulogy of Governor Qreenhalge, who died in office. In speaking of the p^uli'ar honor asccbrded to its governors toy Massachusetts

sentiment of ours, but It Is none the less noble and wise. It springs from the just state pride which we all feel, arad has done much to give us the loing line of distinguished men who have filled the high place oif our chief magistrate. This sentiment in regard to the office encircles our governors with respect and honor while they live, and brings us in reverence and affection to mourn them when they are dead."

It is a sentiment worthy of emulation by every state.

During a lively debate in the house on appropriations it was made .very clear that this administration) has spent several hundred thousand dollars more than its predecessor to collect many millions less of revenue, mutch of the extra expense being due to the change from advalorem to specific duties. One item arose from 169 em ployes being added to the force at the New York custom house.

Mr. Cannon said, with much justice, "If a Republican) Secretary of the Treasury had done what has been d'one by the Secretary or Assistant Treasurer in this matter, a Democratic congress would have made political capital enough out of it to last the party through a presidential campaign."

One does not know which most to admire, the forbearance or the Indifference oif the people in regard to the continual defiteit in public revenues during the last few years. If it is culpable then it is desirable tha't there should be a Republican adWinistration as soon as possible. ®f the deficit continues week, month, or a year, before the proper conditions are restored, the Democratic press can be relied upon to ex hiibit the necessary agony. Imagine, 4'f imagination can go so far, how the Democratic paipets would have been loaded doiwn with invective, abiuse, sobs and moans, if they had dared to-condemn the system which month aJfter imonth has shorwn a deficit and increasing debt. We need a change, if only to allow the Democracy to realize that 'there is a de ffciency. i-

One of the ablest speakers for silver has been Senator Jones of Nevada. In 1874, when John G. Carlisle was claimed by the silver party, Senator Jones was a gold standard man and uttered the following words, which are very good twenty-ttwo years later:

Does this congress mean now to leave entirely out of view and discard forever a standard of value? Did any country ever accumulate wealth, achieve greatness or attain a high civilization without such a standard? And what but gold can ibe that standard? What other thing on earth possesses the requisite qualities? Gold is the articulation of commerce. It is the most potent agent 'of civilzation. It is gold that has lifted the nations from' barbarism. So exact a measure is it of human effort that when it is exclusively used as a money it teaches the very alb it of honesty. It neither deals in nor tolerates false pretences. It cannot die. It keeps its promises to rich and poor alike.

The friends of Jones should read these words before pitching into Carlisle for modifying his views.

THE LARGEST GIVER OF THE CENTURY. 'Baron de Hirsch, the philanthropic Jew who died a few days ago, was the most liberal man oif his age, judged 'by the amount of his gifts and the freedom with which he gave to different races and sects, though, naturally, his greatest benefactions were to the suffering of Ms own race. The estimates of his donations during life vary, one being so h'igh as $60,000,000 and another that he has given away $15,000,000 annually since 1890. 'It is certain that he gave $2,400,000 to aid his people in this country, $10,000,000 in the Argentine Republic and that he offered to give $10,000,000 to Russia which was not accepted on his unselfish terms. It is said Ithat $20,000,000 set aside for his son, was directed to philanthropy after the young man died. One thing is known, that he gave annually many gifts, in all directions, in many countries, to many causes, and that the very great ability wh'ilch enabled his to make his fortune, directed its charitable dispersal. Millions were sRent in transferring the oppressed Jews of Russia to new fields in the United States and the Argentine iRepublic and in educating them for new trades and pursuits to make them self-s.upporting and independent. In Gallicia, Austria, $2,000,000 was spent for the education and 'industrial training of the Hebrews. It 'will be safe to predict that many of these, and fthe'ir children, will achieve success, and that among the holders of great wealth and power alt some distant day will be found the enduring memorials of Baron Hirsch's philanthropy.

It will be difficult for some benevolent people, who give their money through •religious agencies, to tell where to place such a man as this in their gallery of good men. He was a very superior business man, a speculator, keen, hard and unscrupulous, perhaps, in carrying out his great railroad operation's. He mingled in fast and luxurious society, he raced horses and gave his winnings to charity, he paid the gambling debts of impecunious princes and loaned money to other sporting princes, and he did not observe the religion of his race, and yet he was a great blessing to countless thousands to them he was the cjpen hand of God. Judge Sulzberger, of

Mr Lodge said. "The people Of other states have *oawatoes jfiOrt Phwaofc. hi humble brewer

Philadelphia, in a trfbute in the Philadelphia Press, said of him, very appropriately: "A man versed in affairs, posessing" the highest order of mercatile and financial a'biiity, 'fond of the enjoyments and luxuries of ltfe, keenly appreciative O'f the social intercourse of the great World, he might have been described as a successful banker ftnd boh vlvant. 'Numbering within this practical soul was a Joftler one, the profoundly sensitive and poetical soul of the great idealist. (Like Moees at the court of

struck by the representative of the pohsreitful Egyptians, and the slumbering devotion to his ancestry and his religion possessed him. "Never* dreamy, never fanatical, never observant of Church usuages, always coldly sagacious and wordly wise, he brooded deeply and brought forth a plan more magnifi'cient and stupendous than ever-conceived (so far as my knowSedge goes) by any single man with the purpose of carrying it out practicably unaided.'*

After all, the reTfgion of his fathers, one which always taught charity to the poor and oppressed, doubtless, was the inspiration of this worldly man's philanthropy. (In a sense he was a tax collector au'd distributing'machine and gathered together through his enterprises, which were oif great importance to the welfare and prosperity oif the people of Central Europe, the Gentile's money."whlich he dlstrtbuted' among his own people, and among others with an entire absence of bigrdty. If Ihe had not done it none other would.

NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN'S BANS PUBLISHED. '^Gre'ater New JTork" is ani accomplished fact. In spite of the protests of the unwilling maiden, the nuptilals of Father Kniiokerbdcker and Miss Brooklyn have been legalized, If not yet duly solemnized. The necessary ceremonies will follow in due time and from this marriage there will never be any divorce, says the Chicago Tribune.

Both houses of the New York legislature have passed the "Grefater New York bill over the vetoes of the mayor's of New York City and Brooklyn. The case is closed. The bride-elect may as well put a good face on the matter, wipe away her tears and do her best not to appear at the wading with a red nose.

Greater New i' rk will cover a territory about tw?oe the area of Chicago. It will begin business with a population, In round numbers, about a million greater than that of its Western rival, the fCar of whose supremacy was the moving cause of the great consolidation. For twenty or twenty-five years it will be safe fnom Chicago's passing competition and then .unless it Can annex another large slice of the surrounding country, It will have to yield to manifest destiny and 'be content with the second position in the list of American cities to which inex'oralble fate has surely allotted it. For the present, however, Greater New York will rank ag the second city in the world, London alone exceeding it, and Paris beinig third. Every citizen of American can congratulate the consolidated city on this distinction. The sons of Chicago will join in the congratulations that Yorklyn of this new country is the greatest city on earth, except one, in commerce, wealth and population, and all that goes to make a city metropolitan. But the name of "Greater New York" is too cumbersome for d'aily use. Something shorter, easier to say, and yet suggestive of the union of the two principal mun'lcipklities composing the now city should be selected. Nei York is not "new" any longer. It is centuries old. Let the "New" be dropped. Brooklyn, once a thriving young town of brooks and linns—or elm shade trees—has outgrown its brooks, but still retains its linns. Let the new metropolis, therefore, bear the name of Yorklyn. The people simply will not call it Greater'New York. They will call it New York, or Manhattan, or GotHam, thus wiping out even the memory of Brooklyn. They .sh'ouid give it a name combining the two, and what more handsome than Yorklyn?

As to the political aspects of the union, one of Brooklyn's objections t»o the scheme of consolidation has been that Tammany will dominate the polltics of the aggregated cities, as it has dominated, defied and despoiled New York. There were voters in Bnglewood, Hyde tark, Lake View. Jefferson and Cicero who urged a similar objection against annexation to Chicago. T'hey feared that the Chicago Tammany would swallow them up and despoil them. The result did not justify their fears. They overthrew the Chicago Tammany. They brought 12,000 Republican majority with them when they came in and made this a Rppuiblicun city. So may the City of Churches purify the politics of '{Greater New York," and the Tammany chieftains, instead of havin'g a larger field which to operate, boodle, blackmail and rob will be swamped. In this faith we bid Brooklyn be of good cheer, congratulate New Yoiiv on the fulfillment of its long delayed hope and extend the hand of union and fellowship to lork-1-yn.

At the end of that period a rescuing party reached him and some of his companions. & j-1. .« til JOSEPH JEFFERSON'S SALT MINE

He Can Savor the World From the Product of His lioolsiana Property. (Mr. Jeffersdn turns out to be the owner of one of the most colossal deposits of pure salt in the world, says the Newt .York Sun. He did not know it until very recently that he was prepared to supply the world "with salt, but so it has turned out.

Along the lower ,part of (Louisiana, scattered here and there among the cypress swamps, bayous and marshes, area number of so-called islands. They are hills of from seventy-five to 200 feet, in height, And 'they form one of the morstlnte'resting geological peculiarities oif the stafte. ISome ten or fifteen years ago Mr. Jefferson purchased one of these hills, with several thousand acres of low lands around it, paying $60,000 for it. The place was then known as Orange island, but it has long since been re-christened Jefferson's island by the peo'ple of that part of the country. It is an island simply by virtues of a small creek or bayou yhlch runs around pari of the hiill, and by a pretty little lake whSch curves around the other side.

When Mr. Jefferson bought the place there were enough orange trees on the Island to make it deserve the name it then bore, but the periodical Louisiana frosts killed these off long ago, and now there is no revenue from off the broad acres except the game which Mr. Jefferson, his sons, and his guests bring down with their guns. Charles

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES—GROVER CLEVELAND. Whether President Cleveland desires a third term or not remains to be seen. Mr Cleveland is now 59 years of age. He was born in Caldwell, N. J., March 18,1837.

Jefferson, the oldest son o'f the actor, attempted to make the $60,000 place yiel'd something beside a certain degree of pleasure to "its owner, 'but soon resigned the land to the swamp grass, the Cherokee hed'ges and the duclcs. This .pro'ba'bly suited Graver Cleveland quite as weil when he went down there a couple of years ago.

The place is about i00 miles southwest of New Orleans, and is partially reached by a 'branch of the Southern PacifiSc, which taps the main line at New Iberia. It is partially reached in this way. Visitors at Jefferson's are set down at a little station in the middle of the prairie. It is called Bob Acres, out of compliment to the owner of the neighboring land, and it is out of sight! That is to say there isn't another house to be seen, and the only method of getting away is tio have a stout team pull you through Uhe marshes and mud holes.

T'hey have just such teanis up at Jefferson's, so that visitors are sure of reaching the beautiful hill, covered with mammoth live oak, crowned by a broad, rose-garlanded cottage, which was built by the present owner. Broad verandas stretch around it, and at the corner are the servants' quarters, where Johnson, the cock ^nd generai guardian •during Mr. Jefferson's absence, lives with his wife and three of the cutest of little pickaninnies.

Formerly the arriving visitor would have heard no sound except that of the welcoming voices of friends,, the soft tones of Johnson and the wind through the trees. Of late, however, there has been a continual accompaniment of hammering and rattling and driving. Day and night the diamond drill is being sent further and further down into a hole whi'ch is already about 2,000 feet deep, and which, since a depth of 170 feet has sent up a core of pure salt.

About ten miles from Jefferson's island is another arid larger hill, called Pet-tit Anse, or Avery's island. During the war the soldiers discovered that there was a deposit of salt there and sinfce that time the mines have been worked almost constantly. There is literally a hill df absolutely pure rock salt, which has only to be dug out, crushed to the requisite degree and sent out packed ready to be used.

The Salt mine, as the is-land is known, even on the map, is a curiosity which people go m'iles to see. The part of the mine which is being worked at present is about 100 feet below ine surface. When one steps off the elevator whfch has carried one down the shaft, one finds oneself in an immense vaulted chamber, of which the floor, the walls and the ceiling are of pure salt crystals. The air is singularly pure and agreeable. The large gasoline lamps with a half a dozen burners, light up the vaulted ceiling, which sparkles as If the lamp were A'laddin's and had changed the salt to diamonds.

The deposit is absolutely without any other veins or strata. The Jefferson's has not found a single 'Mpak in the pure salt. Mr. Jefferson has always had an idea that there was some deposit of a mineral nature underlying his hill, and now he is carrying his curiosity further still, and is trying to •find out what underneath the salt

Cfcptain Lewis, the superintendent of the sa*t mine, and also of the work at Jefferson's, hiiits darkly of certain hopes of finding something better than

common salt. If he keeps on at this rate, his hopes will be realized, fgr he seems in & fair way to bore through salt all the way to China.

ROUND GARTERS GOING.

Fashion Now Declares For tha Suspender Hose Support. The round garter with its chic bows, dainty knots of lace and jewelled buckles, is a pretty finish to a woman's stocking, but its day is over. Women are becoming more sensible in the details of dress every day. In speaking of this change a silversmith said: "When giving garter buckles for presents first became a fad every woman thought she Aust have a pair, and when a woman thinks she must have a thing she generally gets it. Ftor a year or two the woman who could not afford a pair of solid gold buckles set with diamonds or other previous stones, or at least if the man nearest and dearest to her couldn't afford them, bad a pair of plain oxydized or enamelled silver garters. Those who we'e unable to have these wore metal ones of elaborate design. But to hold the stocking without wrinkling, especially a silk one. the round garter hid to be worn very tight indeed. This not only spoiled the shape of the leg, but interfered with the circulation to sue han extent* in many cases that rheumatism resulted. The women couldn't stand this combination of ills for the sake of pretty garters, BO they have returned to suspender garters, and the jewellers who are left with a large supply of made-u»p round garter buckles in their show cases are in despair."

If these despairing jewellers were as smart as the women who own handsome garter buckles they would straightway turn them into suspender garters. 'Notwithstanding the harness like aspect oif the suspender garter, it is now made very attractive. There are two kinds of stocking supporters. One fastens around the waist with a satin belt, very narrow in front and behind and coming well down over the hips, where the elastics are attached. One piece of elastic comes down half way to the knee and there another piece is

attached with a buckle so as to fonm t«wo supports for the stocking. And here's where a woman's handsome buckles fi^om- her once beloved round garters come in. She has one attached on each suspender where the two pieces of elastic are Joined, and they allow the elastic to be shortened or lengthened at will. The stocking is caught in hands'ome hOoks and held in place by means of a gold and silver button or locip. The other style is more popular with stout women. The suspenders are not fastened together by means of the belt, but each is' attached to t'he si.de of the corset with a small gold or silver safety pin. Otherwise they are like the ones just described.

Since the demand for handsome suspender garters has increased rapidly, many beautiful .designs have been brought out .in gold and silver. The prices vary from $3 to $100 a pair. Usually these handsome buckles are ivounted on plain narrow silk elastic, bceause they are

to make a better

supposed

show that way. Most women do not think so, however, and they no sooner get hold of a pair before they have the plain elastic covered w't'h silk, satin ri'bbon or lace and decorated with bows o'f very narrow ribbon.

A specially pretty pair designed for a bud had plain yellow gold ruckles engraved with sprays of eglantine. The elastic was covered with bright yellow rilbbon for luck, and the edges finished with two full frills of very narrow black lace. Another pair was made of the shade of purple so much used now, and finished at the edges with a quilting of g^een baby ribbon and green bows. The buck.es were plain silver hearts, with the monogram on them.

A bride to be has selected a pair of gold buckles, set with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. They are to be mounted on rather broad elastic, covered with real lace insertions, over pale blue satin. This is for the "something 'blue" in her wedding outfit.

WHY FLYNN BLUSHED.

Ordered by Court to Staml Up While Already on His Feot. John J. Fiynn, manager of the big wooden elephant at Coney Island, was the innocent cause of merrimept yesterday in the Supreme Court before Justice Van Wyck, says the New York World. Flynn attended in supplementary proceedings. He is only 4 feet 6 Inches tall. He was leaning against the railing waiting to be sworn, and was partly concealed from Justice Van Wyck's view. "Where is the person to be sworn?" his honor asked. "Here he is," said Lawyer Burns, pointing to Flynn.

Justice Van Wyck looked in the direction of Mr. Flynn a*id( astonished p.t the disrespect shown the court by sitting down, as he supposed, ordered him to stand up.

Mr. Flynn stood on tip toes and looked appea'lingly at his counsel. "He is standing, your honor," said Mr. Burns. A ripple of laughter passed. Justice Van Wyck said, "Oh," and administered the oath, then a general laugh followed. Mr. Flynn blushed like a school girl as he left court In company wi'th his counsel.
