An aristOcratie little maiden at Long
Branch is the possessor of s'the richest
doll on earth" whose self and troy,s-
seau were the wonder of all Paris, and
took prize at an industrial EXPOSE
ton there. The doll is the slzs of a
child years old. The trosseau in
cludes a sealskin sacque, lined with
quilted satin, large enough for child
3 years old, point lace fans with pearl
sticks, laee-covered parasols with pearl
and other fine handles, gloves, lace
handkerchiefs and other laces, fine
silk stockings, lingerie dresses, hats,
wraps, satin slippers and every i'm
aginable article bride could have in
her trousseau, and all large enough
for child of the age named, and even
a wedding dress and fine lace veil.
The smaller articles were all in sets,
not only one or two of each, but the
underwear, handkerchiefs, ETC.. by
dozens. 1t took a large Saratoga
trunk to hold the doll and her ward
robe. Yet We suppose there are thou
sands of little girls, years old and up
ward, to whom one-hundredth part of
the money squandered on this play
thing would bring happiness and COM
fort such as they have never known.

Only a Girl.

In her old age, Mime. jerome Bona
Parte, of Baltimore, the American
beauty who married a brother of the
great Napoleon, and was repudiated
by him, demanded great deal more
admiration than she got. At an enter
tainment she considered herself neg
iected by the gentlemen, who paid the
most of their attention to a couple of
newly married young ladies. She en-
dured it for some time, and then re-
marked to the first one who found a
little time to spare with her:
do you know, MIR. X, that 1 con-
slider it the most foolish thing in the
world for gentleman to pay atten-
lions to a young married ladyP''
Indeed, madamer' responded the
gallant, land whyp"
Because young married woman is
only girl who belongs to somebody
else. "

The folly of one country guaranteeing
an investment in another country is full
of peril. England seems to have done
this freely in the East, and the people,
who have not q dollar at stakeI have
been compelled to shed their blood and
waste their manhood in its protection.
1t now appears that the syndicate who
built the Panama railway did so
under United States gov
eminent guarantee of protection to
its property. Recently much damage
was done to this property by the revolu-
tion on the isthmus, and in the burning
of Colon. 1t is now strongly intimated
that the government will have to foot
the bill under its guarantee.
The situstion is not made any more
pleasant when We remember that the
Americans unloaded all their stock in
the railroad upon the French company
building the Panama canal. So that
we are really in the position OF having
to pay for the maintenance of French in
terests on American soil, and in open
OF the Monroe doctrine. When
this question is opened up in congress
next winter there will be an interesting
debate.

Must Take Pork.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia Washington
special says several Western members of
Congress have expressed determination
to advocate retaliatory legislation of
some sort against countries which dis
criminate against or prohibit the
importation of American Pork.
Assistant Secretary of State Porter said
the French government had already
receded from Its prohIbltory decree and
permitted the importation of agricultur-
al pork under certain restrictions and
that further negotiations are pending.
No negotiations regarding the German
prohibition decree are pending. 1t
seems that this government has thought
it unwise to eDdeavor to renew negotia-
tions with Germany on this question,
knowing that no concessions can be OBJ
tained at present.

Two Florence Ladies' Eat Arsenic ant
Narrowly Escana Death.
From the Topeka Comm onweaIth

From the Topeka Comm onweaIth.
From gentleman who came from
Florence yesterday, it was learned that
two ladies nearly came to their death
from an ambition to become beautiful in
the manner which rumor says Mrs.
Walkup adopted. They are a young
married lady, and is known to many in
Topeka, ana an unmarried school teach
er. Having read in the newspapers that
Mrs. Walkup is a very beautiful woman,
and that she enhanced her beauty by eat
ing arsenic, they determined to try the
effect of that poison upon their own COM
plexions, and visiting drug store, ask
ed Tor some arsenic. Our informant
says that the story Is that the druggist
placed the bottle containing the poison
on the counter in front OF them, and then
went away TO wait upon another custo-
mer. and that during his absence they
each took quantity from the bottle and
ate It. The newspaper which they read
had failed to state how much should be
taken at dose, and they didn't know, so
they took what they thought would be
sufficient. They were made violently
sick and a physician was called, who,
upon learning what had occurred, ad-
mlnlstered an emetlc, with satisfactory
reeults. The ladies are now In a fair
way to complete recovery, and will not
again attempt to improve their COM
pIexions by the use of arsenic.
