A MERRY CHRISTMAS to Mrs. Cleveland.
Joe Anderson's Sweetheart.

fGOW me NcW IOFh sun.
Broadway promenaders most observed and
identified just now are Edwin Booth and
Lawrence Barrett. Their cleau-shayen faces
and compilations muddled by long use Of
paints add TO their uniqueness. Booth looks
sombre and reticent, while Barrett is still
more stiff and reserved. These veterans are
long past the age when actors are fondest of
showing of, and 1t is not to be presumed for
an instant that they aim at personal exhibition
in thus conspicuously walking In Broadway.
Close beside them are young couple in very
interested dialogue. The fellow is tall and
gaunt, but he has a singular air of dissatisfaction,
which may partly arise from the fact that the
notably pretty girl at his side is his afiianced
bride. He is Mary Anderson's brotherJ Joseph,
who performs in her company under the
name of ''Mr. Joseph The maiden is q
daughter of Lawrence Barrett. The wedding
is set down for next month. Perhaps this
piece Of matrimouy may get Mary Anderson
Into pretentious New York society, for Miss
Barrett is there already. The reader asks If
Miss Anderson, by means OF her professional
eminence ana private virtues is not already
eligibley Yes and yet she is not invited into
Fifth avenue parlors. New York is peculiar,
and very foolish In its social treatment OF
stage people Cultivated aud particular Bos-
ton draws the line only at true goodness, and
will liUnize any great actor or actress whose
personal reputation is clean. But 1t is not sc
In Gotham.

Fashion has decreed that its dress collars must
be higher than they are-neck cuffs with
turned over points in fact--and hard winter,

Now klth and kin
Are grouped In circle round the cherry hearth
Each telling his experience Of the year,
For some there be that only meet az Yule
The gray haired grandshire sagely nods his

The golden tre5sed youngng OF the flock

An Advance In Prices 10 be
Expected.
A scarcity of coal is reported among
the dealers and it is stated that unless
an additional supply is received shortly
prices will advance considerably. One
advance has already gone into effect and
another is contemplated. The develop
ment of coal mines near the city would
be, it is considered, great advantage to
the residents. Several coal dealers said
yesterday that it would be a good idea
for the Chamber of Commerce to take
the matter in hand and have the hills
prospected thoroughly. 1t was hoped
that the Elsinore mines would be in
full operation by this winter, but while
a large ledge has been made ready for
working the facilities for bringing the
coal to market are go limited at present

vantage. 1t is contemplated, however,
to run a line OF road from Elsinore past
the mines to this city in the near future,
and the matter Of the right of way is be.
ing discussed now. AS soon as the road
is built there will be plenty of Elsinore
coal in market, and this has improved
80 much in quality that it can be USED for
all kinds Of purposes.

THE subject OF running storm drain
from the marshes near Second-street
Park will come before the Council to-
morrow. 1t is of the first importance to
drain the water-covered sag back OF
Hope street, and if it can be done at a
reasonable figure the work ought to be
ordered. Many families live in that
section OF the city, and it is needless to
say that the stagnant water that gathers
in it, mostly caused by leakage from
Reservoir No. 4, renders that locality
anything but healthy. We understand
that it is proposed to run drain from
the marsh across Second street to Pearl,
and along Pearl to drain already estab-
lished in that street.

Our country exchanges report that
blowing and seeding have already been
begun in many parts of the county, and
that in some instances the early barley
is already above ground and looking ex.
ceedingly we'll. 1t is very reassuring to
learn these facts. The excitement at
tending the speculative era Of year
ago drew all minds away from the culti-
walton of the soil and from the
development Of its natural re-
sources. The consequence of this was
shortage in the products OF our
lands as compared with the consumptive
demands of the local population. This
deficit still exists, and a section which
should be distinguished for its large ard
varied exports, is now depending on the
farms Of Kansas and Nebraska for sup
plies OF everyday necessities.
| Not less than one million acres should
be seeded to grain in this county this year
Barley, wheat, corn and hay ell pay
large profits to the industrious. energetic
farmer. Odr dairy iodustry should be
largely increased. While thousands ant
tens OF thousands of dollars are being
sent out of the county for butter ant
cheese there is an opportunity to maxi
money in the dairy business. There ar,
fifty thousand acres of excellent meadow
land in this county. Much Of this vii
yield six crops OF hay year. This i
the best dairy country in the world.

root, and the price will be very hig

will produce two ana even three crops {

LONDON, November lO.-Mr. and Mrs.
Gladstone made the journey from Birm-
ingham to Wolverhampton in carriage
drawn by four horses. They were
heartily cheered along the route. On ar
irving at Wolverhampton, Gladstone
proceeded to the drill hall where he re-
ceived anumber OF addresses. In reply
ing he was repeatedly interrupted, the
disorder eliminating in an uproar that
compellsd him to abruptly close his re-
marks. Great confusion followed, the
crowd making a Iush, demolishing
the benches that separate the
members of the press from the
public. The stewards guarded the
private door by which Gladstone
left the hall. The ex-Piemier proceeded
to the railway station, the platform of
which was closely guarded and started
for Oxford. At Snow Hill, the crowd
that had gathered groaned and hooted.
At bennington the former Mayor of the
town welcomed Mr.. Gladstone. and his
wife presented Mrs. Gladstone with a
bouquet. At Banbury they received q
similar welcome. At Oxford a crowd,
which was composed largely of under
graduates, hooted at Gladstone as he was
driven to the residence of Warden Keble.

Our Republican friends are holding
high carnival over the fact that the
triumph of the Republicans in securing
control of both the Presidency and the
House will enable them to admit mum.
Der Of new States, thus, as they fondly
imagine, securing to their party the con-
troll Of the United States Senate for an
indefinite time to come. The position
OF the HERALD has never beer. doubtful
On the question Of the admission of new
States. We.believe in broad and generous
politics, and in relying for success upon
the deliberate verdict of the American
people. One Of the editors of this journal
visited the New Orleans Exposition, and
he wrote to his paper that the exhibit
OF Dakota was, after that of Californis
the finest to be seen there. On the
pyramid of Ceres, which represented
that State, Dakota's population was
put at 100000, and her yield of wheat
for the year just passed at II 900 900
bushels. We said at the time that such
display of resources ought to entitie
that Territory to instant admission to
the Sisterhood of States. We have re.
peatedly advocated the admission of
Washington Territory, Montana and New
Mexico, and perhaps Idaho and Arizona
ought also to be admitted. The Demo
cratic party ought to be willing to take
its chances of controlling the United
States Senate. The great point is TO
formulate policy wise enough and broad
enough to control the whole country,
and the control of the Senate will follow
as the night the day. Some of our pun
dit Republican editors are figuring up
the increase of the votes OF the Electoral
Colleges following the admission of new
States, and the greater guarantee such
increase gives their party of continued
of the government. This is
all leather and prunella. The increased
electoral vote will be in those States

BERLIN, November l0.-The Kaiser's
structures on the Liberal press continue
to be discussed. Liberal organ to-
night declares that restrictions on the
liberty Of the press are contemplated,
but little credenoe is attached to the
statement. The Socialist members of
the Municipal Council tried to pass
vote Of censure on the resigned attitude
Of the municipal deputation which
presented the address to the Kaiser,
but they were too weak numeri-
cally to accomplish their purpose.
The important outcome OF the affair is its
effect on the Freisinnige party in the
| Landtag, their loss amounting to one
fourth their whole number. The party,
though it has held its ground in Berlin,
has had throughout the rest OF the En-
pire, and especially at K9nigsburg,
Breslau, Altoona and Frankfort, to cede
considerable ground to the National
Liberals. A Freisinnige organ declares
that the result of the elections relieves
the party fron. responsibility and recon-
mends steadfast waiting attitude. The
Government is now more than ever sure

The parade last night had many gro.
