establish to the satisfaction of your

A pretty story Of Modjeska has been
told in Boston. IL Is as follows.
When last she played in Boston she
was a guest at Hotel Vendomo, the
literary snd artistic center Of Boston
Mrs. scott-Siddons was also playing
an engagement here, and was invited
by Nine. Modjeska 10 a ladies' lunch
given by the gifted artist. At the Ia.
bic Mrs. SiddOns questioned Nine.
M0dieska somewhat closely about her
methods Of business in her two leading
roles, emphasizing in particular her
own manner Of playing Juliet. From
this Mrs. Siddons proceeded 10 elabo-

fruit in the Mississippi Congressional
elections next fall. They say there is
no doubt but what the Republicans
and Independents will carry several
Congressional districts in Southern
States next year.
A good deal of interest is felt about
the approaching election in New York
but even among Republican officials
in high position there is grave doubt
entertained as to the result. Letters
from New York to prominent Repub-
licans here are not encouraging. An
official. whose name if mentioned in
this connection, would surprise many
of the home readers Of the Herald,
recently told a friend that New York
would 20 Democratic by 10000 ma

defeat of Mr.. Conkliug for the Senate

very large and influential element OF
the Republican party in that State.

Mr. RIaine's Islhmus Letter.

Baltimore SUM-
1t was scarcely to be expected that
the letter written by Secretary Blaine
to Mr.. Lowell in London, affirming
the exclusive right Of the United
States under It's treaty with Colombia
to guarantee the neutrality Of the
canal now 10 course Of construction
across the Isthm1s Of Panama, would
meet with the unqualified assent Of
Great Britain, or indeed Of France
either, if a similar letter should have
been sent 10 the United States Min
istor at Paris. Although written 10
Mr.. Lowell in june last, the letter
was only made public a few days ago,
and already We have the response TO
ii Of the London Times. OF the
ability with which the letter is written
there has not been anywhere any ques-
ton. Neither can there be any doubt
Of the cleaness and boldness
with which Mr.. Blaine sets forth the
position Of the United States in the
matter. The London Times admits
that as On article 10 defense Of the
neutrality Of the canal il is unaDswer-
able" but 1t cannot rec how guaran
tee d the neutrality Of the canal by
the United States can DO weakened by
tho additional guarantee Of England
and France, or wherein. as respects
the canal at Panama, il differs from
the Joint neutrality agreed upon be-
tween England and the United States
10 the BulWer-C Clayton treaty Of 1850,
with respect TO the projected canal
across Nicaragua. The Times con-
lends that England is even more in
tcrested than the United States com
mercially IN maintaining the neutral
ityOi the Panama canal, as the bulk
Of Der vessels would take that route
70 British Colombia and her Austria
Ian possessions But the great point
made BY the Times is that if the
United States and the Republic
Of Colombia we're conceded
10 be the only parties entitled TO
guarantee the neutrality Of the canal,
they might At any time by mutual con-
sent, suspend the guarantee and close

Hiss on The sly.
Philadelphia Timos.l

Philadelphia Timos.l
There is 10 be found much refresh.
ment in a well proportioned kiss This
much everybody though
only a frank few have the courage to
acknowledge it openly. And it is a
curious fact as yet un explained by the
philosopher, that the slyer the kiss is
The more there is in it Of reireshment.
A kiss that is paid as a forfeit before
a whole room full Of people is prosaic,
not to say embarrassing. The girl
laughs, which spells the romance, and
the fellow,te to one, blushes-neither
of them thinking much Of it, and
they both are apt pretty soon to forget
all about it.
But let the same fellow kiss the
same girl when nobody is looking
and The situation is as different as
possible. That sort Of a kiss, fred
off in a hurry behind a door. or in a
conservatory, is like an electric shock,
and is as sweet as cream The taste OF
it sort Of holds on, aud constantly
suggests the proprieiy-Or improprie-
~, as the case may be-of trying il
again. And the laughing and blush
ing are exactly reversed The fellow
laughs, without spelling the romance
a bit. and the girl bushes like a pink
clrnation. 1t is queer that the very
same thing should, under such slightly
altered circumstances, be 50 entirely
different, nor is it any the less queer
because the difference has existed
from the earliest ages Of the world.

THE 50 called State Credit papers
are so given to beating up side issues
and false issues that it is not surpris-
ing to see them come forward as the
pretended defenders of the Supreme
Court, as though the integrity of that
branch Of the State government bad
been assailed. They made the most
incorporate assaults on Judge VIII
liams when he granted an injunction
against the 1908 act and appeared to
think they we're engaged in a righteous
cause. The constitutionality Of the
act in question is to be considered BY
the Supreme Court. 1t is a cold
question Of law. The methods by
which the passage Of the act may have
been accomplished will not cut any
figure. Judge Williams decided that
much in granting the injunction The
courts DO not propose to 60 back
Of the act as it appears
On its face. The anxiety
manifested in high tar headquarters
to have the case advanced on the dock
Ct Is quite Inconsistent with the re-
peated declarations that the people
accept the unexpected and unWarrant-
ed settlement at 1903. There is e
possibility that the Supreme Court
will find the act constitutional al
though that would not make it just or
right. Many an act is technically con-
s%tituional which IS obnoxious and
wrong il the light Of morality and
sound public policy. The indorsers
Of the 100 8 settlement tore up their
own platform. repudiated professed
principles and burned the bridges be,
hind them. No wonder then that they
charge all who refuse to follow them
with being repUdiators, Having in
aueneed conventions and Legislatures;
having fattered the ambitious
and tboughtless, and efeetually intim-
idsted the weak and dme-serving
they turn the engines Of sophistry,
false reasoningand subtle fattery upon
the Supreme Court. or course this
will have no effect, but it reveals the
true inwardness Of the methods which
have been sad are to be employed to
carry out desperate projects. Those
who made the support Of 50-4 a test Of
loyalty to State credit in 1879, have
had a new revelation, and now make a
proerustian bed which they have
labeled 1903. This sudden change
cannot be accounted for upon the or
binary grounds that influence cool
reason and judgment. 1t is phenom-
email idiosyncrssy not easily under
stood.

Notes About the --latest Fashions

NOAC9 ADuut thC AAACoh Euoh"f
New York Evening POst.l
White vulture feathers are used in
opera hats.
Bordered cheviots are shown among
autumn dress fabrics.
English embroidering stands next to
lace as a popular trimming.
The new poke bonnets are very high
and very narrow about the ears. The
crowns are mostly Of the Mother
Hubbard shape.
Imported toilets are all exceedingly
bouffaut in effect, and the fashion is
quite d~ispleasing to short, stout wo-
men, to whom it is very unbecoming.
Tartan plaids and Roman stripes
are now shown in cheviot materials,
and make very stylish street dresses
trimmed with plush Of monochrome
color.
Real silver, and also new steel but
tons are displayed, cut in facets which
sparkle like diamonds, and look very
rich upon street jackets Of velvet or
plush.
1t seems to be definitely settled that
russell brown and dark myrtle green
are 20 be exceedingly fashionable col
ors for walking and travelling cos
tunes.
Gold and silver, either in the form
Of embroidery or heavy passementerie,
are among the most favored trimmings
for ball dresses. Gold-wroughi Spanish
lace is in greater demand than ever.
Fringes of the most elegant de-
seription have appeared, and combined
With the new psssementerie bands and
beaded gimps, will prove a strong
rival 10 lace as a garniture for elegant
costumes, both for the house and the
promenade.
Leading millinery windows display a
startling hat of scarlet felt, trimmed
with dark red velvet or plush, and the
plumage Of q brilliant looking tropical
bird. This hat is modelled somewhat
after the shape Of the 'Smuggler's'
nat worn last season.
A strong attempt is being made to
re introduce Irish pOVlins for winter
use. The durable and elegant fabrics
are dyed in new exquisit shades in
which the ugly and unbecomiBg terra
Gotta color, to meet the ~exigencies Of
modern aesthetic taste, have not been
omitted.
Cords and ~tassels enter largely into
the trimming Of dressy costumes. and
are also used upon elegant evening
toilets. An imported dress Of cream
white satin, lately shown. had the
long court train and Greeian draper
les outlined with a heavy cord Of gold
and silk threads intertwined. The
shirred vest of the corsage, and por-
tons Of the oddly pulled sleeve, we're
made Of pale gold colorcd satin.
A handsome costume Of olive green
plush has a Marquise jacket with deep
killings around the bottom, lined With
antique gold satin. The gold buttons
which fasten it arc quite large and
elegantly chased. The u~nderskirt is
trimmed with killings to match. and
the over dress is cut in panels and
lined with gold colored satin, the
edges being bordered with rich en-
broidery Of emerald and gold colored
beads.

Bismurck,s Defeat.

Cincinnati Gazette.l
The general election has come off in
Germany, and Bismarck has failed
to return a majority. Particular cleo
tons gave particularly significant
signs Of his unpopularity. There has
been a regeneration Of the Liberal
party. 1t had become demoralized by
Bismarck's seduotions. Leaders had
become unfaithful and others had with
drawn from politics in disgust. But the
party has thrown off its dead weights,
some Of its strongest men have re-
turned to public life, and it is now a
power for Liberal opposition. Besides,
Bismarck's Roman Catholic coalition
has aroused much opposition. Eighty
niue second ballots have to be held
because of the failure of any candidate
to get a majority. The result of these
is likely to be still more unfavorable
to Bismark. The defeat is the more
notable because Bismarck's organs
have resorted to the rankest dema.
.gogueism, setting him up as the pro-
tectcr Of the poor against the rich.

The New York Times also, while
praisinglMr. Blaine's letter as "the
best brief sentiment yet made Of the
American position in regard to the po-
lltical control of the canal" yet finds
three obstacles that prevent his logic
from being perfect. The first is the
poverty OF our merchant marine; the
second the Clayton ulwer treaty in
regard to Nicaragua, and the third
that Colombia herself is not satisfied
with the so-called Monroe doctrine"
whatever purpose it was originally in
tended to serve, has undoubtedly be-
come a part of the traditional policy Of
the United States. Its most success
full assertion was by Mr.. Seward in
the case of the French invasion Of
Mexico. MI. Blaine's letter reafirms
that doctrine, strengthened by the
terms OF the treaty made between the
United States and Colombia thirty
five years ago. IfColombia no longer
desires to be bound by that treaty, we
have no resource but to fall back upon
the naked doctrine of non-interven-
ton by foreign powers in the affairs of
this continent. The letter of Mr..
Blaine may halt in its logic, and so far
as regards a joint guarantee OF the nu-
trality OF the Panama canal the Lon
don Times may have the best of the
argument, but popular sentiment in
the United States is much more likely
to sustain the position taken by Mr..
Blaine, however faulty it may be on
some points, than hat Of the Times.
