Marrying Men of Genius.

There is an interesting article ia The spec

generalization as 10 the misery that awaits
women who marry men OF genius The
truth is that the woman who marres a genius
plays a game of double or quits. "Genluses

husbands Of the most disastrous kind 1t
also depends quite rs much upon the VIE

The Sultan OF Morocco does not under
stand Western barbarism, and our State
Department with a dudelike spirit OF
diplomacy seems 10 think that the Sui
tan of Morocco, Muley Hassan, ought to

Morocco, can only comprehend one thing

mite cruiser which ought to have been

Mr.. Stanley's expedition to relieve
Emin Bey Is one of those vague things
that is as interesting as novel. The ex'
petition left camp on January 25th, and
this is the last definite information re-
ceived from MIR. Stanley by way of the
Congo, although the steamer has returned
this spring from the upper reaches of the
river. In his letters of August 9Th he an
nounced his purpose of marching across
country to the mountains thanking Albert
Lake, establishing camp in secure
spot, and dispatchng an advance guard
to Wadelai in steel whale boat which
he was carrying with him. AS Emin's
letters of November were sent from the
lake, 1t is evident that this plan was not
carried out. 1t may be suimised that he
was compelled to alter his course and to
follow the Ouelle valley in the direction
Of Wadela.

Electric Light for Theatres.

1t is more than likely that before long the
use Of gas in theatres will be entirely Danish
ed SO fer as Paris is concerned. The fire at
the Opera Comique has taught the author
tiles lesson which they have been quick
and willing TO learn and apply. \ commis-
sion is now sitting, balancing the comparative
advantages of gas and electricity, and the
latter is sending the former sky high. The
commission few days ago visited the
electric laboratory at Grenelle, where a com
petent lecturer told them a great deal that
was surprising and showed them some extra
ordinary experimental All sorts of inham-
mable materials, silk, calico, canvas, chips
of WOOD and edges Of old scenery were
brought in contact with the light and showed
no tendency to catch fire. There were con-
ditons, indeed, in which flame could be COM
municatei, but 1t was difficult to produce
them The members Of the commission were
deep impressed, and the era Of gas in
theatres seems doomed.-New York Press

THE NEW YORK DUDE.

The Democratic majority in Congress:

The Democratic majority in Congress
are playing a waiting game without un-
Outstanding what the country needs on
the eve of great political battle. The
thought of the American people has been
for long time moulding itself on an
idea of reform. The people feel that
they ought not to be oppressed with war
taxes In time of peace. The plea of the
Republicans that war taxes protect labor
10 too nonsensical to obtain even with the
wayfaIing man. The average American
wants food and clothing at fair prices,
and he knows enough now not to be laid
under tribute to New England The party
that will free the people from the burden
Of tribute to monopoly will be the party
OF success.

The New York Sun says about the
strikers that the company does not
blacklist the strikers, or refuse to take
back the engineers and firemen who left
their posts, or put any ban upon the
BrOtherhoods to which they belong. The
strikers are applying for employment
again upon the terms against which they
struck, and those of them who cannot
find it must look for places elsewhere
There is 10 be no further talk on their
part of continuing a boycott, which has
proved to be of no account and, in short
everything will go on as il did before the
declaration of hostilities, and as though
a treaty of peace and amity had been
signed, sealed, and delivered.

NUTS FOR THE PROrECTIONIsTs TO
CRACK.

The tariff bill In Congress Is hung up
on the technical discussion. The alleged
statesmen want to make speeches Tor
twenty days and then the demagogues
of high and low degree want to discuss
and speechify on the auiobles when the de-
bate 10 allowed on the sections OF the I'LL
The real policy is to force the idea OF
tariff reform on the principle laid down
In the Presidents message, and that Is
10 reduce the war taxes and relieve the
people of burden that they feel every
time they buy a sock, stockings, Shirt
trowsets, hat, or coat, shoes or oyercoat-
The people OF the United States have
been made to pay twice as much for Their
clothing as they ought TO pay, and the
difference between the fact as 1t is aud
wha, it ought TO be is 80 or so per cent
tribute to monopoly The outrage is a
tyranny that no monarchical country
would dare TO pcrpetrate.
Every morning when the American
laboring man gets up from his bed he
DAYS 30 per cent tribute on his socks,
his drawers, his shirt, his trowsers, his
waistcoat, his coat his hat, and everything
that he wears. lie carries with him all
day tax in the form OF an out
raoeous tribute that he is made to pay TO
monopoly because monopoly surrounds
the market and keeps out the goods tha'
citizens of other countries buy for hall
the price that we are made to pay.
Why should American citizens pay
twice az much for their clothing as the
people on the same continent and just
across the st. Lawrence river;
Why should American working men
nav more for salt fish Than their neigh
bors Just across the ST. Lawrence river
Why should American people pay more
for tin roofs on houses than people IN
other countries do!
Why should American citizens be put
under all infamous system of tribute to
few monopolists!
Why should people of the United States
submit 10 war tax on the necessary
articles of every. day life twenty years
after the war is over
The Republican leaders, beginning with
Mr.. Sherman, know that they promised
that the war take, should be taken oil as
soon as the war was over. They asked
that these taxes should be instituted sim
ply and only to maintain the war. But
now these same men demand that they
shall be kept up in order to protect
American labor
We cannot see that American labor is
protected by keeping it from using the
material in which it could work. But
still that absurlity is the idea Of the Re
publican party.

these wonderful hats are not made at

No Panama hat was ever made al Panama
They came to be called by that name DO
cause Panama merchants first made them
known outside of local markets The best
Panama hats are made in Guayaquil They
are woven by native women out of the
fiber of the pta palm This fiber Is gen
orally spun or stripped by. these skillful
artists into slender threads ten and fifteen
feet long, although it can be stripped into
almost any length with care The braid
ing or weaving is all done with the fiber
held below the surface Of water. which
keeps it pliable and preserves the pecu
liarties OF its texture An ordinary Pan
anna hat, made Of several pieces Of fiber,

kind and it will wear forever Finer
