There are people in the world who
have made their money 30 rapidly that
their brains have not had chance to
grow in proportion. They live in
magnificent houses, but the arrange
ment of the furniture is all left to the
taste of gentleman who makes such
matters study. The house does not
represent the family, and is no more
the expression of their artistic develop
ment than are the furnished rooms OF
hotel One of these queer folk sent
his daughter to boarding school, and
after while the teacher told the moth
er as delicately as possible that the
real trouble with the girl was that she
had no capacity. "Well," said the
good woman, II blame you, sir, for
not having mentioned this before. Her
father has an abundance of means, and
can afford to purchase his daughter the
finest capacity there is in the market.

ately, cost what il may"

Concerning the next national demo-
cratic convention, the Chicago Trlb une
has the following interesting informa-
tion: "rhere will be lively contes
for the honor OF the Democratic ma
tional convention next year. The IrO-
quois club is striving to obtain it for
Chicago, and certainly no other city in
the Union can offer as many induce
ments in the way of hotels, amusemenis
and particularly cool lake breezes TO
soolhe the brow of the wearied states
man. The Tilden managers and the
remnants OF the old Albany Regency
do not want IL here. They have selected
Saratoga, in the alleged interest Of Gov
ernOr Cleveland, which presumably
means the odd Usufruct' himself. The
New York crowd fears local sentiment
IN Chicago, and is jealous Of the facili-
ties which such representative Demo
Gratis as Joseph Chesterfield MackIn and
Michael Cassius Mcdonald possess fol-
packing conventions with enthusiastic
outsiders with one unanimous voice fol
their pet and an un6earable clamor fol
any body else. Saratoga has no gallery
crowd, and there would be none, excep
the strikers brought from New York
Albany and Troy. The managers viii
endeavor to induce Democratic leaders
of the East to join hands with them Il
the exclusion of the West. Henry Wat
terson, who slways has a pleasant wort
for Chicago, should come to the aid O.

these particular lands are not properly

The political situation in Indiana Is
candidly reviewed by a correspondent Of
the Cincinnati enquirer. According to
his statement the election of last year
was no criterion of the strength of par
ties IN the state. The Democratic vote
fell off less than 1900 while the Repub.
lican vote was more than 10000 smaller
than in 1880. The cause OF the Demo
cratic success in 1899 was due largely to
the aid of the liquor interest. but the &C.
tiop OF the legislature last winter demon
allied the saloon men and it is doubtful
IL their strength will be thrown solidly
again in favor OF the Democracy. The
growth of manufactures in the state
will inevitably hurt the Democrats and
aid the Republicans From ali the cir
cLmsiAnces the correspondent concludes
hat II the Democrats want TO carry In
Llama next year they will have 10 nom.
mate q man for president who Is at least
10000 votes stronger than his party.

TESTS undisguised disgust over the plat
form put forth by its party friends in /
Ohio. It points out that there were
three distinct issues before the conven-

the third. The Herald thinks that the

Boston Transcript


Parson Jones Is very discreet man,
but he loves his little joke for all of that.
At social gathering, the other evening.
some of the pillars of the church we're
discussing the question Of the efIieacy of
prayer for material gifts. Deacon Brown,
who took the Affirmative side, contended
that prayers for rain had been answered
again and again, to his own certain
knowledge, while Brother Smith, who
supported the opposite side, was equally
pnsftive that rain was not the proper
thing 70 pray for, and, what was more, he
could cite cases without number where
rain did not come when it was prayed fer.
OF course Deacon Jones readily ac-
counted for these failures by the hyp0iIi-
esis that faith had been lacking ON the
part of the prayer. So as their WAS No
hope of their ever deciding the question
themselves, they agreed to leave it 10 the
parson. 3D. ] believe rain viii come in
answer 10 feryent praxeF?' said the par
son, repeating the query that bad been
prayounied y him. eNhy, certainly.
