Society ladies predict q very successful
reign for our republican queen, and it is the
general opinion of people here that the char
acter of the administration may bc greatly
changed by her. President Cleveland lacks
personal magnetism This Mrs. Cleveland
seems to have in abundance. 1t may he that
she will turn out a second Dolly Madison or
Abigail Adams, and that she will be rs much

country as the president So far no one ex-
sept Dan Lamont has been able tn got at all
near to Cleveland, and Lamont Is closer than
the closest clam in influencing the president
or in saying anything about what he will or
will not do There is no doubt that Mrs
Cleveland will have the interest of her hus-
band at heart, and she has certainly made the
administration moro popular in Washington

A Notable Tilt.

A prominent business man of this city,
who has lately returned from New York,
tells the following story:
Some time since, q month or so ago,
Col. Ingersoll was thrown accidentally
into the society of Henry Ward Beecher.
There were four or five gentlemen pres
ent, all of whom were prominent in the
world of brains. A variety of topics
were discussed with decided brilliancy,
but no allusion made to religion. The
distinguished infidel was, of course. too
polite to introduce the subject himself,
but one OF the party, finally desiring to
see tilt between Bob and Beecher,
made q playful remark about Colonel
Ingersoll's idiosyncracy. as he termed
1t. The colonel at once defended his
views in his usual apt rhetoric; in fact,
he waxed eloquent. He was replied to
by several gentlemen in very effective
repartee. Contrary to the expectations
of all, Mr.. Beecher remained an abstras
ed listener, and said not word. L ,
gentleman who introduced the topic
with the hope that Mr.. Beecher would
answer Col. Ingersoll, at last remarked:
"Mr. Beecher, have you nothing to
say on this question:
The old man slowly lifted himself
from his attitude and replied:
"Nothing-in fact, il you will excuse
me for changing the conversation, will
say that while you gentlemen were talk
ing my mind was bent upon most de-
plorable spectacle which witnessed to
day"

helpless in the pool of liquid dirt which

Ingersoll.
"What brute he was" they all echo

"Yes," said the old man, rising from
his chair, and brushing back his long
white hair, while his eyes glittered with
their old time fire, as he bent them on

FARM NOTES.

Seventy-six per cent of the raw cotton
produced in this country is exported.
A farmer should be the architect of
house he ought to leave the arranging
of the interior to his wife.
In Spain, when person eats peach
or O pear as he passes along the road,
he Immediately plants the seeds. Fruit
trees are plenty and free to every passer-
by.
We need to study the habits of insects
more. Nearly all the insects which in
jure the farmer and fruit grower have
their parasites, which would keep the
enemy IN check if properly encouraged.
Cream rises almost wholly when the
milk is cooling, says the Dairy Farmer,
and if the milk is warmed up to 1909
the cream will nearly all rise while the
milk is gradually cooling down to 500.
Patent foods for animals are said as a
general thing to be worth much less
than they cost. The ingredients are
usually very common, and the mysteri-
Gus properties ascribed to them are
myths.
Mr.. Benjamin Hathaway, one of the
advanced horticulturists of Michigan,
saws that when he set his first orchard,
forty years ago. he thought that tree
branched at four feet from the ground
was high enough. Since then he has
come to favor higher heads.

on horse than it would be to 90 five
times rs far If it was properly driven.
The Guernseys are fast coming into
favor as rivals of the Jerseys, being
larger of size and harder They are
said to give deeper colored milk than
the Jerseys, and, though not so numer-
OILS as the latter, can compare with
them, proportionately to number, in
butter production.
Every farmer should aim to raise all
the possible products of the climate for
his own use. Herein lies the indepen-
dence of farm life. He grows every sup
ply for his table, so far as his soil and
climate admits, under his own eye. He
is dependent on no one for the necessi-
ties OF life, or even for the luxuries of
his table.
On an experimental farm of two and q
half acres MFR. w. :. Allen, of Edgefield,
Ga, last year made six bales of cotton.
As fertilizer he used twenty bushels of
cotton-seed and ESQ pounds of guano.
Now the value of fertilizers Is the same
whatever the crop, or whether north
or south; and when It may be had,
barnyard manure is the cheapest.
Prof. II. +. Alvord believed that the
milk itself was more susceptible to the
influence of the air than the breathing
of the cow. He would draw the milk
in the open air and thus have it thor
oughly oxygenated. When the cows are
MIXED In the same air i'm which they
stani, the milk will be bad, but II
milk,d in fresh air the trouble will be
obviated.

on the thousand-and-One mechanical
contrivances for preparing the soil for

great numbers engaged in the various
stages of raising. securing, disposing
and eating up the crop.

A great deal of amateur photographing is
being done at the capital, and several promi-

era. Senator John E. Kenna, Of West Vir-
ginia. is one Of these, and saw him the other
day just outside of his residence on Sixteenth
street with cloth over his head taking pic
ture of a couple of his children. Senator
Palmer, of Michigan, the great lumber mil
lionaire and patron of art, prizes lot of pho

Spain, as a young man, more than he does

This photographing of public men and
women for the sale of their photographs to
outsiders has grown into big business, and
the first and best photograph of a prominent
man or woman is worth a great deal to the
photographer who can get it. At Mt Nc.
Gregor the boy who took the Grant family
sitting on the porch just before the generals
death sold $4,000 of his photographs before
the funeral procession left the mountain.
There are two establishments in Washington
who make the bulk of their business the
photographing of prominent men, for sale,
and in their stores you can buy pictures of all
sizes and Of different poses of nearly every
statesman ut Washington. They are very
anxious to have new men of prominence
come into their studios, and they send car
riages for them and give them pictures free
for permitting themselves to be taken.
Photographs of noted ladies are as a rule hard
10 get, and the only two that can be bought
here are those of Mrs. Logan and the wife OF
Speaker Carlisle. Mrs. Logan's pictures sell
very well, and her husbands has per-
laps as large a sale rs those Of any prominent

worth great deal to the photographers here

that its constitution does not provide
for utilizing the opinions of its for
eign population, so that the progress
sive ideas of the older civilizations
may be incorporated with the
"unitcd wisdom" of the national re-
representatives. in the administration
of affairs of state. There can be no
reasonable objection made to the
propriety of entrusting the franchise
TO subjects, for instance, of the
German, the British or any other
constitutional European Govern
ment, or to citizens of the United
States, while those governments are
on friendly terms with the Kingdom
of Hawaii, and some of them sigma
tories of a treaty compact recogniz-
ing its independence. OF course, in
the countries named, citizenship is
indispensable to the exercise of the
suffrage, but the conditions under
which that restriction obtains are
widely different from those of Ha-
waii. Their constitutional systems,
some of them at least, are the re-
suits of centuries of civilization:
their commercial enterprises and
social institutions are indigenous to
the soil, and the outgrowtbs of that
civilization; but, in Hawaii, with a
civilization not yet as old as its
living inhabitants, with its CONNER
cial enterprises carried on by for
eigners, its institutions transplants
from foreign soil, and forms of gov
ernment copied from Europe and
America, it would only be consis-
tent with the eternal fitness of
things if the subjects and citizens of
those friendly powers from which
the forms of government and the
institutions of this kingdom are
derived, were admitted to n voice in
the management of its affairs. That
the well-informed and intelligent
class Of European and American
residents could be otherwise than a
desirable class of constituents for a
member of the Hawaiian Legisla-
ture, is proposition that hardly
admits of the possibility of doubt.
Men, whose traditions and princi-
pies are invariably on the side of
order, progress and liberty, ought
to be the first in the kingdom whose
opinions on public affairs would be
given practical effect at the ballot
box. The right of voting by for
eigners could be placed under such
restrictions as that the risk of theil
abusing the privilege might be re-
duced to minimum. The result OF
such an arrangement would be more
advantageous to the giver that tc
the recipient. The members of the
legislature, however, as well as OF
the cabinet, ought invariably to be
either born or naturalized Ilawaiians.
While the foreign residents have
sufficient brain and moral force tC
