"When the cats away the mice will

Europe and the Foraker wing oi the
republican party of Ohio, with Fora

Washington to see what Harrison can

Go where we will-encounter men
in whatever circumstances we may, :
we shall be apt to find that reference

1t was distinctly announced by va
rious admirers Of the President on his
accession to Office that no relative Of
his would be given any federal posi-
ton. This, they said, was to be the
settled policy of the head Of the nation.
Well, Carter B. Harrison, the Presi-
dents brother, has been appointed by
him United States marshal for the
Middle district of Tennessee. That is
all right If the Presidents brother
will make good marshal, which is
very probable. At the same time,
those who said that no relative Of the
President could hope to get an Office
under him were mistaken. That 9TH
er brother who lives out in Kansas
City, however, may as well take down
his sign, for he isn't likely to get any
thing cut OF this administration. He
is a Democrat Memphis Scimitar.

THE GREAT EIFFEL TOWER
One Of the Greatest Achievements Of
the Century.


The Eiffel tower has been smiled at
as the great folly Of the Paris Exposi-
ton, but the giant manikin OF iron
threads possesses value apart from
its ostentatiousness To the eye not
infatuated with problems Of the oscil.
lation Of iron and the power Of wind it
is not an embracing vision. In the
daytime it is like great spider reduc-
ed to geometry, the legs pinioned at
intervals and its anatomy drawn by
torture machine into diverging paral-
lels.
One might mistake it at great dis
tance for the elongated scaffold of an
electric light, but on closer approach
1t is seen to be daring monumental
achievement. From its highest bal
cony there is visible beautiful pano.
