iect Of ivory with him and he Immediately
becomes animated, his eyes full of fire. He
usnally wears the white robe of the Zanziba-
xis, with . long gray over garment, with
spacious sleeves broidered with silver lace;
on his head an embroidered white cap. He

lish, French, Germans, Belgians and Portu-
guese, and Il keenly interested in their do
ings In Africa. Some time ago he expressed
. desire to visit Europe, but it is now doubt
full If he will care to carry out his Intention.
In the Nanyuema country, between Tangan-
yika and the Lualaba, he is immensely pop
ular. In the neighborhood Of Nyangive he

a. he Ii, he is said to affect q somewhat Spar
tan mode Of life, and his character is not
altogether ignoble. But even he, with all
his power, cannot but dread the approach OF
European influence in Africa. Probably, In
expedition, Mr.. Stanley could see no other
course than to disarm the hostility of Tippu,
as far as possible, by protesting to take him
into confidence. At the result We need not
be surprised. For the credit of European
reputation In Africa It may be wise now to
break with him. Al chief of the remotest
station In the Congo Free State, no doubt he
could send much ivory down the river; but
ss with these Arabs ivory and slave raidinR
are inextricably mixed up, it will be well, In
these inquisitive days. for the King OF the
Belgians to avoid even the appearance OF
evil. Doubtless Mr.. Stanley has not entered
upon his suit without first taking the advice
Of those ct home for whom he is the agent.

THE MILD WINTER. .


The mild winter is very pleasant for those
who do not like cold weather, but 1t il a very
serious matter to many. For instance, half
the miners in Pennsylvania are idle and find
it dihicult to live. Some companies have
closed their mines till there is an increased
demand for coal; others are working only q
small force Of men, and still others are Civ
ing all the miners chance to earn some
thing by working few hours each day. At
many mining shafts there are very large
quantities of coal, for which there is no de-.
mand. At New York, Philadelphia. Chicago
and other distributing points are larger
quantities of coal than are likely to be used
before the winter closes. Two mild winters
In succession have caused coal to accumulate
In nearly all the great cities of the country.
Dealers do not wish to buy any more till
there is prospect of disposing of what they
have on hand. Nine owners do not wish to
pay out money to laborers when they cannot
sell their output. In the New England and
middle States thousands OF men and teams
that usually have constant work during the
winter season in cutting and storing ice are
without profitable employment. There is so
little snow in the great pineries that little
lumber has been cut. The mild winter has
made the trade in clothing dull and thrown
thousands of sewing women out Of employ
ment.
In these and other ways the unreasonable
weather makes great changes.

REMARKS 8Y BISHOP KEANE.

hEm AHAS II II BISHOP AEANEs
Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic uni-
versity at Washington, has been making
addresses In Massachusetts,, in the course of
which he has presented very clearly the
attitude of the more intelligent of the
Catholic clergy on the public school question.
There are two ways. says Bishop Keane, of
regarding this matter: First by minimizing
and compromising; oecond, since Christian
ity is necessary, let us have all tho Christian-
ity We oan--let Us have the whole of 1t. The
Catholic contention il that conscience can
not compromise. The State does not compel
people to worship against the dictates Of
their own conscience, and 1t can not compel
parents to educate children contrary to con-
science. The bishop's inevitable conclusion
II, that each religious denomination must
have its schools If it wishes them, and that
tho State can control them simply 30 far al
peace and good order are concerned. 'sIt
makes no difference to the State what the
religious opinion is in any one of the schools
She has has only to do with the schools al
schools, making 1t a. easy to control those Of
200 sects as those of two." In conclusion
Bishop Keane said: I feel it duty te
answer one OF two questions, not to stir uI
strife, but to settle them. The assertion has
been made that the pope is antagoniatic te
the American principles of education and re-
publican government. state that on my
honor as Catholic bishop this is not so.
Totally different questions that he ha
answered have been nisconstrusd and mad,
to serve the purposes of our assailsnts. Al
to his authority, he has none, not in thu
slightest degree, over the American govern
mont. Every Catholic knows that his CON
science is his sole guide. and the church ha
no right to order anything contrary to hiI
conscience. They follow conscience In tn
church, and believe that they have right tt
do this without let or hindrance by an.
government. The church also feels that l
has the power to withhold its blessing from
the parent who does not fulfill his duty t
his child.

Senorisas who Arc Pre-eminent In
tho Poetry OF Melton.
IFten .aThs Beauty Of Spanish Women" by Henry
T. F1ack. In January scribner.l
Al regards her stature and mold, the An
dalusian girl is almost invariably q petite
brunette, and although not all are plump,
and many are too stout, the majority have
exquisitely symmetrical tapering limbs, well
developed busts (fat-chested women are al-
most unknown in SPAIN, and the most
dainty and refined hands and feet. Regarding
these feet Gautier makes the most astound-
ing assertion, that ''without any poetic ex-
aggsration it would be easy here in Seville
to find women whose feet an infant might
hold in its hands. A French girl of seven
or eight could net wear the shoes of an
Andalusian of twenty" am glad to attest
that, If the feet of Sevillian women really
were 30 monstrously small fifty years ago,
they are 30 no longer. It Is discouraging to
see a man like Gautier fall into the vulgar
error of fancYing that, because a small foot
| is q thing Of beauty, therefore tho smaller
| the more beautiful it must be. Beauty of
| feet, hands and waists is matter of pro-
portion, not of absolute size, and too small
| feet, hands and waists are not beautiful, but
ugly. We might as well argue thai since
| q mans foot ought to be larger than q
Woman's, therefore the larger his foot the
more he has of manly beauty. II Anda-
lusian women really had feet 30 small that q
| baby might hold them in its hands, they
would not be able to walk at all, or, at least,
not gracefully. But it is precisely their
graceful gait and carriage for which they are
most famed and admired. All Spanish
women are graceful as compared with the
women of other nations, but among them all
the Andalusians are pre-eminent In the
poetry of motion, and this is probably the
reason that, although regular facial beauty
is perhaps commoner in Madrid than in
! Seville, I found that you cannot pay greater
compliment to girl In Northern Spain than
by asking If she is an Andalusian. 1t would
be useless to seek among land animals for q
gait comparable to that of the women of
Seville. Cadiz, Malaga and Granada; and
when you compare 1t to the motion of q
swan on the water, q fish in the water, bird
in the air, it is the birds and the fishes that
must feel complimented.

CONGRATULATIONS.
A Wedding That Followed Somewhat
Romantic Courtship.


A very pretty wedding occurred last
evening at No. 8 west Cary street, when
Miss Kate Watkins was married to Lieu
tenant Charles Gerhardt, of the United
States army. The marriage was very
quiet one and only few relatives and
intimate friends of the family were pres
ent.
The ceremony WIS performed by Rev.
DR.. Joshua Peterkin in an impressive
manner. Beautiful ferns and evergreens
decorated the parlors. Many handsome
and beautiful presents were sent the
bride and groom, and doubtless none
were more acceptable than check for
$500, which was presented by the father
Of Lieutenant Gerhardt to his happy
son.
After the ceremony Lieutenant and
Mrs. Gerhardt left on the morning train
for Fort Assimborne, where the groom is
stationed.
Lieutenant Gerhardt is o graduate Of
West Point, and finished at that institu-
ton in 1887. He is native of North
Carolina, and since leaving the Military
Academy has been stationed in Montana.
The circumstances connected with this
marriage are peculiarly romantic. They
met in 1885, when Lieutenant Gerhardt
was q cadet, and since that time had not
seen each other until he came here few
days ago to make arrangements for the
nuptials,
