george sheridan Non.piussed

New Orleans PcAyuno.
George Sheridan was once addressing
a met ting in New Orleans to denounce
William Pitt Kellogg. He made long and
powerful speech, and wound II up with a
peroration of slngularly vivid force. |
can't recall his words, but here is the sub
stance OF them; "If every drop OF water
that flows through the mighty Mississippi
from it's icy source In the far Northwest
were turned into gold n coin, and the
whole vast food were emptied at my
feet, | would not consent 70 stand
In the shoes of william Pitt Kellogg. il
every grain of shining sand along the
shore could be transformed into a glitter
ing diamond as large as walnut ana as
pure as air, and the whole boundless
wealth thus represented could be casl
down In one great mountain before me, |
would not take the bride 10 change
places with william Pitt Kellogg"
Just here man standing right In front
OF the platform called out; "You're
liar, George. You'd weaken"
The meeting adjourned.

supply and consumption during the com
Ing season. He estimates, however, that
the American crop viii reach G,5b2 600
hales, which, with imports from India OF
l'a04 GOO bales, from Egypt 442, 900 bales,
and from other sources 8l2 400 bales
would give total supply for Europe and

these would require about 5000, 600 bales
sud admit of some increase 10 consump

Conquests by Coid-Land Nations.

The learned editor of The Progreso pre-
diets that if the United States Of South
America" should ever become fact the
consolidation will be effected by a north
ward conquest under the hegemony Of
Chill or the Argentine Pepublic. The
political history Of mankind" says he, lis
nothing but u record of conquests by cold
land nations (naciones TERRA fria) of their
warm-land neiShbors North Of the equa-
tor Norsemen bully the children of the
sunny south; south of the equator the
bullies Of Chilli knock down the children
of the sunny north. 1t is law of nature,
just as much as the repression of equa-
tOrial by polar air-currents. Rome would
have beaten Carthage with or without the
Scipios. The Gothic giants would have
smashed the civilization of Rome with or
without an Alaric. Cyrus, Alexander,
King Frederick, Ulysses Grant and the
Chilian brigadiers were but the mediators
of inevitable events. From both poles the
march of conquest moves toward the
equator.-Dr. Felix l. Oswald.

College extravaganza is an increasing
evil, but nowhere is it so marked as in
undergraduate life at Harvard. Intellect
ual life is stifled in materialistic luxury,
and these false ideals react to a greater or
less degree on all who are in any way con-
nected with the college. The rooms OF a
large portion of the students are fitted up
like lady's boudoir, and clubs, the horses
and dogcarts, the boating and entertain
ing, give the students life wholly apart
from intellectual pursuits, and theic con-
noisseurship in choice liquors and fine
brands of cigars excludes an equally &C
curate discrimination in classics and sci
ence. The man who ~grinds" is below par
in social estimation, while the superior
caste are they who know what Is going on
in society" To the undergraduate his
college is, for the time being, his universe
and its social distinctions are a serious
consideration.-Lilian Whiting in Cleye-
land Leader

When Jefferson Fell In Love.

Jefferson's first love occurred when he, a
youth of 10 years, was going TO college at
Williamsburg His inamorata was Re
becca Burwell, and his letters of this date
are full of her and his love. He devOtes
many pages to his grief over losing a
watch-paper which she had cut for him,
and on Christmas day, 1162, he wrote a
letter about his sweetheart to his friend
John Page which would have filed, says
Parton, twelve modern sheets of letter pa
per. He was continually comparing her
TO the loves of the poets, and copies Of
love songs written by Jefferson at this
time are still in existence. He sighed for
year before he broached the subject of
marriage in a stammering way at a ball
Miss Burwell did not give him an explicit
reply, and a short time afterwards he
found she was engaged to another

THE WOMEN OF WASHINGTON.
Those Who Live In Boarding Houses-So
ciety Ladies-Bright Women.

ciety Ladies-Brfght Women
The boarding house women of Washing
ington are numbered by thousands. There
are two classes of these. The first merely
rent rooms, and the second give board as
well 1t is great business here at Wash
ington for women to take large houses,
paying from s15 to 500 per month for
them, and then to sublet the rooms to
single gentlemen or to families as the case
may be. They receive, as a rule, as much
for their ground floor rooms rs they pay
for the whole house, and there have been
Instances in which women have made
themselves independent by room-renting.
A number of landladies make money
here keeping boarding houses, and the
one who entertained w. ID. Howells dur
ing his last sojOurn in Washington has
been able TO buy the house in which she
lives, which is worth about 900, and is
now starting a new hotel near the treas
ury. OF course her success is phenOm-
email, but there are numerous others who
are doing well in a smaller way, and the
number of those who make their living by
feeding others is legion.
The society women Of Washington are
the only ones known to the outside world,
but they form only the smallest part ofits
female population. Some Of the women
mentioned in the above classes go into so
ciety, and there are not a few social circles
below the court circle. As far as wit,
beauty, and culture are concerned the
working women of Washington are equal
to those who pose as the leaders Of Wash
ington society. The government clerks,
for instance, come as rule, from good
families, and form the best society OF the
towns or cities from whence they come.
They are often the daughters of old fani-
lies, now reduced in wealth, but high in
education and social culture, they are
often, in fact, ladies to the manor born,
whereas your congressman's wife, who
gets her social standing through her hus-
bands position, and her career has often
been that of Hannah Jane without the
nobility of Hannah James" nature.
Still there are many bright women in
Washington society, and there are many
women of cosmopolitan tastes and culture
1t Is curious society in that the old
woman figures in it as much as the young
one, and that the mother is courted and
feted while the daughter often stands in
the background. Life in Washington,
whether in work or in pleasure, has a ten
dency to broaden the woman more than
that of other cities. The people met are
so various in their tastes and localities
that general topics rather than personal
gossip has to form a large part of the gen
eral conversation. The result is that the
average Washington woman has all her
faculties sharpened and her nature broad
ened by her life. She is the best product
of the advanced American civilization Of
to-day.-Frank G. Carpenter in Cleveland
