The CHRONICLE
Like the dew on the mountain,
Like the foam on the river,
Like the bubble on the fountain,
Thou art gone, and forever"
Thus in pensive strain, perchance,
might be heard, singing softly to
himself, the defeated Congressman,
who has been left out in thee cold by
an unappreciative constituency, as he
contemplates the airy, fairy vision
that had been wont TO clear his
political optics, now withered, dead,
dissolved and blown away by
the storm that swept the country,
on the late ides of November. Mark
Twain, in his gilded age, gives live
ly account of the contrast between
the reception of the Congressman,
who returns to the Capital, with the
endorsement of a new term be-
before him, and the reception of an
other, who has felt the pittiless biting
of an able-bodied political frost. 1t
is an old maxim, that nothing sue
ceeds like success, but IN order to
feel the full force of the same,
you want to study men aud meas
ures, as seen from this standpoint,
awhile.
The shop windows are full of pic>
lures of
THE ENGLISH BEAUTY, MRS. LANGRY;
Or 1 desire to correct that states
ment, and say the alleged beauty,
Mrs. Langtry. 1t is an interest
ing face, pure, calm and full
of repose. but a great many
people would say, she is not beauti-
full. 1t is an attractive face, which
draws you back again and again, but
she is not what one expects to see
IN professional beauty. But I pre-
dict here and now, that she will
draw crowded houses when she hon>
ors this city with her presence.
There is a large element in the sos
ciety Of this city that is just little
inclined to be snobbish. Whatever
is of the English, Englishy is the
thing. The young men one sees
bobbing up and down On horseback
through the streets, with knees
drawn up to right angles and space
between the rider and the saddle,
through which you might cast afoot-
ball at every stride of the horse, are
trying to initiate the English fash
ions of riding steeple chase. They
know it is not graceful, but then it
is SO utterly and intensely English,
you know.
Anent Mrs. Langtry; it is said
that the photographer Sarony, of
New York, paid her $4,000 for the
exclusive privilege of photographing
her; and face>powder maker paid
her 500 for certificate over her
signature.

That Elephant.

Last November the Northwestern
Lumberman had considerable to say
in regard to tract of land situated
on the Spanish river, Ont, and owned
by Messrs. Fletcher, Pack & Co., w.
HI. Potter and w. II. johnson, of this
city, and that sheet carried the idea
that these gentlemen were sick of their
bargain in purchasing the lands, and
were anxious to sell to other parties.
1t now turns out that that elephant"
was a regular Jumbo" and we un-
derstand that Messrs. Potter and John
son have sold their two-thirds interest
in these Spanish river pine lands to
Woods, Pack & Co., for the snug lit
tie sum of 100000; Fletcher, Pack
& Co. not wishing to sell, still own
their one-third. Those parties who
considered the Spanish river pine
lands such an elephant" on the hands
of the owners, may now have short
season for reflection.

believes that every effort should be
first made to settle disputes by arbi-
tration. Any person. Of either sex,
over the age of eighteen years, can
with the consent of the Assembly,
become member, except persons who
make a living, or any part of it, by
selling intoxicating drinks, lawyers,
bankers, professional gamblers, and
stock brokers, who are not allowed
to become members of the Knights OF
Labor. If a person should engage in
the liquor business after he has be-
come a member, he has to withdraw
from the society. 1t is one Of the
laws of the society that no person
shall be a member Of it who derives
an income from labor without render
ing an equivalent, or who is engaged
in any business that degrades morals,
and all monopolists. The society is
not political body, yet the members,
under certain rules, are allowed to
discuss legislative questions that effect
the welfare of the laborer, but no
member is obliged to vote as the ma
jority of the lodge may wish.
The Alpena lodge has secured the
room now used by the Circuit Court,
and when the room is vacated, they
will use it as lodge room.

Labor, there is Mutual Benefit In
surance Association which is some
what similar to Knights of Honor
and Royal Arcanum. The first pay
ment is 1925, and the assessment for
each death, or total disability, is 20
cents. If the Association contains
5000 members, the benefit is $500 on
the death or total disability of men,
Der, and when the Association num-
bers 5000, the benefits are 81 900.
