Imperial Court "Reminiscences.

The Paris correspondent of a Philadelphia
paper says: The Empress was dressed for
a time by Nine. Yignoni but finding that
each of her dresses was copied and repro
duced some hundreds of times over. she re
solved to try new artistic. Hence she went
to Worth, and was SO pleased with his skill
and taste that she speedily contracted bill
of some 500, 900 This bill, when sent in,
was submitted to the Emperor Now Napo-
leon Ill, with all his generosity, could do
mesn thing on occasion, SO he drew his pen
across the bill, wrote a check for Just half the
amount, aud instructed his chamberlain to
demand receipt in full. Warned by this
experience, Worth sent in his accounts to the
leading ladies of the court, and found that
though they were exceedingly ready to run
up bills, some of which had been stand

ready to pay them. In fact, sort of CON-

1t is said that the. Russian government IS
about to publish statement which it hopes
will put an end to the foreign agitation re-
garding the Jews. This statement shows
that hundreds of people have been tried and
otherwise dealt with by the authorities of va
rious towns, particularly by those of War
saw, where 1902 have been committed for
trial. The statement concludes by saying
that all precautions will be taken in future,
but that it is necessary to avoid aggravation
by the outside influence arising from false
rumors.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Mr.. Sykes Thornton, who died recently in
England, was one of the most influential
leaders that the cause of marriage with a
deceased wife's sister had. He had antieipa-
ted the passage of the act by a second mar
riage, and it is said that an investigation of
his books shows him to have spent little
short of million sterling in furthering the
passage of the act.

The bridge which the Erie railroad is
building at the top of the Allegheny noun
tRins to span a ravine over which the Brad
ford extension of the road is to
pass will be a wonderful structure.
The mountain range is 1920 feet
above the sea level and the ravine varies
in depth from 300 to 700 feet. The crossing
point for the bridge is at the place of mini
mum depth, which will make it, even at that
place, the highest railroad bridge IL the
world. The length of the structure will be
over two thousand feet, and there are to be
twenty-five piers of iron and twenty
spans. The space beneath the Hottest span
is sufficient to cover the steeple of Trinity
church, New York, with fifteen feet to spare.
The piers will be ITO feet wide at the base
and taper gradually up to width of twelve
feet at the top. The total cost will be about
$500, 600 Compared with other high bridges
the following figures are given: The Ken

The press of this country is not only free
but it is also very extensive. The total num-
. bar of copies of daily papers published in
this country in the census year was 1,135,
s32, 44G, and of weeklies 945, 7s1, 1878. The
receipts of the newspapers are said to be
1921 per cent. from circulation and 1919
from advertising and according to the stat
istics they employ "a, 654 persons in ''manu-
facture" and 16, 4S9 in editorial positions.
The number of newspapers grew faster be-
tween 1870 and 1880 than the circulation did.
There is now a newspaper to every 260.46
square miles area all over the country. In
Connecticut there is one to every 30 square
j miles. There are 1904 counties in the Unit
ed States and in 2,072 of these there is ct
least one newspaper printed. Every county
east of Missouri and north of Mason and
Dixon's line supports newspaper of its own.
. The water supply of Cincinnati is owned
and controlled by the city, but it is not at
p resent very satisfactory. A company of
capitalists are talking about buying the
W orks. They argue that their plan would
re lieve the city of taxation to the amount of
th 10 interest on the value of the present works
ard from the necessity of submitting to an
in creased rate of taxation for the enlarge
m emit of the present works. They say that
they can build new works much cheaper
than the city can, and that they can maintain
the service at much smaller cost. 1t is es-
timlted that the present works are worth
90, 900, 900 and that it will require So 900, 900
or $7,0OO,000 more to enlarge the service
and remove the pumps. The organization

A Georgie corn shuck,np.

The life and humor Of this autumn
festival, at the south, arc described by
David q. Barrow, Jr., in the October
Century, and are also illustrated by
several character sketches:
The farmer who proposes to give q
corn shuoking selects a level spot in
his lot, conveniently near tho crib,
rakes away all trash, and sweeps the
place clean with a brush broom. The
corn is then pulled off the stalks,
thrown into wagons, hauled to the lot,
aud thrown out on the spot selected,
all in one pile. IL it has been previ.
Gully "norated" through the neigh
borhood that there is to be plenty to
eat and drink at the corn Bhucking,
and if the night ID auspicious, there
will certainly DO a crowd. Soon after
dark the negroes begin to come in,
and before long the place will be alive
with lhem, women, and emil
Gren. After tho crowd has gathered
and baen moderately wOrIned up, two
'giu'r'ls" are choaen from among tho
mo5s famous corn shuckers on
the ground and these procce,
to divide the shuckers
into two parties, later comars report.
ing alternately to n ni6e or the
other, so as to keep the forces equally
divided. The next step, which is one
of great Importance, Id to divide tho
compile. This is done by laying a
fence rail across the top of the corn
pile, so that tho vertical plane, passing
through tho rail, will divide the pile
into two equal portions. Laying the
rail ia of greet Importance, since upon
this dopeudB the accuracy of the dIvi-
sion; 1t is accompanied with much
argument, not to say wrapgling. The
position of the rail being determined,
tho two generala mouns the corn-pile,
and the work begins. The necessity
for the "gin'r'ls" to occupy the most
conspicuous position accessible, from
which TO cheer their followers, is one
reason why they get up on top of the
corn; bat there is another, equally
important, which is to keep the rail
from being moved, it being no uncom.
non thing for II side to change the
position of the rail, and thus throw
an indus portion of the work upon
their adversaries. The position
of ''gin'r'P in a corn-shucker
differs from hat Of the soldier, in
that the former is in greater danger
than any of his followers; for the
chances are that, should his side seem
to DO gaining, one of their opponents
will knock the leader off the oorn-pile,
and thu. cause n momentary panic,
which is eagerly taken advantage of.
This proceeding, however, is consid-
cred fair only in extreme cases, and
no! unfrequently leads to u general
row. If it is possible, imagine 4
negro man standing up OF a pilo of
corn, holding in his hand an ear of
corn, and shouting the words Of Q song
below, and you will have pictured the
"corn gin'rl." 1t ia a prime requisite
that he should be ready in his impro-
visations and have a good voice, 30
that he may lead in the corn-song,
The corn.song is almost always q song
with a chorus, or to use the language
of corn.shuckers, the "gin'r'ls give
out" and the shuckers ''drone."
These songs are kept up continuously
during the entire time the work is
going on, and though extremely sim
pie, yet, when sung by fifty pairs of
lusty lungs, there are few things more
stirring.
