What Etiquette Demands OF Those Who
Eat Fish.
It has been announced that to use bit of
bread in connection with the fork in eating
fish is no longer good FORM" says the
Boston Herald. This is melancholy. Must
We return to our ancestors fashion of eat
ing with our fingers? If the baby's push
err is denied grown-ups, perhaps one of
these days the fork will follow the knife,
and both utensils be placed under the ban
known as bad form.
If, instead of crushing piece of bread,
these sticklers for good form would confine
their attention to killing the very disagree
able custom of using wooden toothpicks in
public, they would receive the gratitude of
many fastidious and decent persons. 1t is
quite as proper to use toOthpick in public
as to pick the teeth. and yet people who
calmly and conspicuously leave hotel
dining room doing 80 would scarcely dare
pull brush out Of their pockets on the np-
pearance of the finger bowls.
When a restaurant waiter places stand
of toothpicks on the table along with the
coffee and the bill he performs his duty and
abuses over practiced in civilized country
and one which is absolutely inexcusable in
women pretending to the least refinement.
OF course the dear creatures who like to
chew this abominable cure-dent will go on
in their sinfulness and laugh these observa-
tions to soorn. But let them remember
that the fair sex is only AZ good as it looks
and-shall il be said-picking teeth in pub
lie does not look pretty.

A MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE.

Philanthropy of Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller
Maids for Her Daughter.
Mrs. john D. Rockefeller, the wife of the
great Standard oil king, whose fortune is
estimated at over one hundred million dol
lars, and who is adding to it SO rapidly that
if he lives in few years will be the wealth.
lest man on this continent, is modest.
quiet, unassuming woman. devoted to her
household, he family and her home. and
who never figures in the society newspapers
or in the great social events of New
York. It is because she wills it so. She has
no taste or inclination for fast life. Like
her husband, she is member of the Fifth
avenue Baptist church. The Rockefellers
live on West Fifty-fourth street, in New
York city, opposite st. Luke's hospital;
and the inmates of that place where so
seen, know Mrs. Rockefeller better than
the habitues of Fifth avenue. Two or
three times week she visits the hospital,
carries flowers and delicacies there for the
poor and sick, and IN other ways tries to
bring sunshine into the lives of the poor
unfortunates. She gives away great deal
of money and is always trying to do good.
Her home is not very pretentlous. Mrs.
Rockefeller's two daughters employ the
services of one maid. These daughters,
Alta and Edith, have been brought up in
the good, old-fashioned way, and have been
taught to wait upon themselves. There are
no powdered flunkies at the door; white
capped maid takes the VISITORS card, and
Mrs. Rockefeller, if she cares to see the
caller. very soon appears in her reception
room. She is her own housekeeper. and
keeps set of books in which every cent
expended is accounted for. It is said she
can turn back ten years and tell the exact
amount of money spent in any week of
the year. Her eldest daughter is uow
the wife of Rev. Charles Strong, son of
the president of the Utica Theological Semi
nary. The three daughters were educated
at Vassar, and the oldest one, instead of
spending her allowance for luxuriously fur
nished rooms and rich gowns, paid for two
years the college bill of pretty girl from
the country, who was working her way
through school. 1t is model American
home; there are prayers in the morning and
in the evening, and sometimes father.
mother and children gather round the
organ in the back parlor and together sing

discussed in the press and on the ros-
trum, to be debated in legislative assem-
blies, and to be again passed upon by the
people in future elections. Some Of
them in the nature Of things will never
be finally settled. The tariff contro-
versy is one such. It's agitation will
ceaselessly continue so long as it is nee
essary to raise money by taxation for
the maintenance of government. Who
will ever be satisfied that just the pro-
per adjustment has been reached?
What protected interest will ever feel
that it has all the protection it needs:
What taxpayer will ever believe that
his burden is as light as it might be
made? The Mckinley bill is now the
law Of the land. With senate that is
sure to be republican for at least four
years to come, and with two years more
OF Benjamin Harrison in the white
house, it is reasonably certain that no
modification Of the oppressive measure
can be expected for several years unless,
indeed, the supreme court knocks the
law in the head in the case now before 1t,
in which it is commended that Speaker
Reeds high handed quorum rulings
we're unconstitutional.
But the controversy will be kept up
just the same. Yesterdays congress
sional elections throughout the country
demonstrate that the great mass of the
people are dissatisfied with the present
law and are determined that the voice
of the tax payer shall be heard in con-
gress as we'll as the voice Of the manu-
facturer. Benjamin Harrison may still
continue to serve his masters, the Penn
sylvania barons, whose money carried
him into the white house, but two years
hence mightier and more potent force,
the fiat of an outraged people, will order
his Punishment from power and place.
The protected industries, on the other
hand, will never cease from demands
upon the government for more bounty
They will always take all they can get,
and unfortunately they are dealing with
a party in power that will always yield
to their demands. The duties under
the Morrill, tariff OF 1862 to meet the
exigencies Of the civil war averaged but
little more than 36 per cent. The year
after the war closed they averaged above
4S per cent. and to-day, under the Nc.
Kinley law, twenty-five years after the
close Of the war, the average of duties is
go per cent, a jump in single year Of
Is per cent! What will the next de-
mand Of the infants be? For Is, 80 or
100 per cent? Who knows? Nobody ex-
cept Quay, perhaps, who may be able to
fathom the bottom of Pennsylvania sor-
didness and avarice.
No, voters of Montana, your duties
are not at an end. The conflict is only
just begun. 1t is to be a long and bitter
contest. Either the money power or the
common people are to rule this country
and dictate the policy Of its govern
ment.

BY THE SOUNDING SEA.
Where Rested for Years the Ghostly Bod
of Paganinl.

Where Rested for Years the Ghostly Body
of Paganini.
On nearing the island Of Saint Honorat
we pass naked rock, red and bristling
like porcupine, SO rugged, 80 armed with
teeth, points and claws as to be we'll nigh
impossible of access; and one must advance
with precaution, placing ones foot in the
hollows between the tusks. It is called
Saint Ferreol. A little earth, come from
no one knows where, has accumulated in
the holes and the crevices of the rock, and
lilies grow in it, and beautiful blue irises,
from seed which seem to have fallen from
heaven. 1t is on this strange reef in the
open sea that, for five years, lay buried and
unknown the body of Paganini. The ad-
venture is worthy of the artist whose
queer character, at once genial and
weird, gave him the reputation of
being possessed by the devil, and who, with
his odd appearance in body and face, his
marvellous talent and excessive emaclation,
has become an almost legendary being, a
sort Of Hoffmanesque' phantasm. AS he
was on his way home to Genoa. accompa-
MED by his son, who alone could hear him
now, SO weak had his voice become, he died
at Nice of cholera, on May 81, 1910. The
son at once took the body of his father on
board a ship and set sail Tor Italy. But the
Genoese clergy refused to give burial to the
demoniac. The court of Rome was con-
suited but dared not grant the authorize
tiop. The bod was about to be disembark-
ed when the mrlicipality made opposition,
under the prettxt that the artist had died
of cholera. Genoa vas at that time raw
aged by an epidemic of that disease, and it
was argued that the presence of this new
corpse might possibly aggravate the evil.
Paganini's son then returned to Marseilles,

for the same reasons. He then went on to

lay the dead body so sacred to him. when
he espied the naked rock of Saint Ferreol

went back with two of his friends to take
up the remains Of his father and transfer
them to Genoa to the Villa Gajona.

SHORT ON SYNTAX,

But Away Up ON Pate-de- Foie- Gras and
Chaud- Froid.
Mr.. Ward McAllister says that the Paris
gossip cabled to the New York Sun presents
distorted view of what he really did say
about Mre. w. X. Vanderbilt's dinner.
The story was that he had said at the din
ner that he had never before seen hashed
chicken served in a tin as pate gras,
and that a deadly quarrel thence arose be-
tween Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mr.. McAllister.
There's been no quarrel at ALL" he said
to a reporter of the Sun. "In fact, the
pleasantest relations exist between Mrs.
Vanderbilt and myself. The criticism was
invited, You know, not volunteered. had
been criticised myself, don't you see, on
question of precedence. That's what
called out my criticism. It came about
this way:
1T is the custom at society dinner now
to serve two entrees-one hot and the other
cold. Mrs. Vanderbilts cook ia a very GOOD
one. very good, but he sometimes goes fur
Their than he should, don't You see. It has
always been the custom to serve pates-de-
foie-Rras for the cold entree, because thew
are SO good, don't you know. There is
nothing SO fine for the purpose. Years ago
they used to serve salmi of game, woodcock.
or something of that sort. But my obiec,
ton to Mrs. Vanderbilt's chef was that he
served salmi of tame duck for the chaud-
froid.
''Now, what I said was that tame duck
wouldn't do for chaud-froid. 1t doesn't
make good cold entree, don't you see, and
the chef should not have served it. But it
isn't true that spoke of hashed chicken in
a tin masqueradinR as pate-de foie-gras.
Neither is it true that Mrs. Vanderbilt and
l quarreled about the criticism. You see,
they get these things wrong sometimes.

that my work would appeal to the kitchen

to show Europeans that there is such a
thing as society here. OF course all sensi-

are apt to sheer and say there isn't. Some

SOME OF IT'S MEANINGS.

The people Of Montana have given
their verdict in unhesitating tones.
They have fully realized the situation
and nobly risen to it's demands. Their
good, sound common sense refused to be
diverted from the momentous issues of
the day, though hundred republican
red behring's, in the shape of forged let
ters and kindred devices, had been
trailed across the scent. They were too
hot in pursuit to be led astray by any
stale tricks that had their origin in a
defeated and discredited section of
party.
The lesson of the election is plain.
The late congressman from this state
has received distinct notice from the
voters that they were tired of his way of
representing them. They want man
to represent Montana. They do not
want a man who is so interested in
eastern manufacturers and superior be-
ings that they occupy the whole of his
time, to the detriment of his con-
stituency. They want man who, on
silver and every other question, has the
courage Of his convictions. Committee
chairmanships are all very we'll in their
way. Montanians are proud OF honors that
reflect honor on themselves. But these
honors must not be purchased by ambi-
tious, self-scheming men, when the pur-
chase money is the credit and interest OF
this state. The people of Montana want
a man who has some thought for the
working classes, the men who rise early
and toll late. These are the backbone
Of this and any other state that hopes
to achieve distinction. They have rights
to be considered. Eastern manufactur-
ers and their servants do not, thank
God, yet control this great northwest.
Long may it be so.
For Hon. w. w. Dixon, we have
noIuing OUT slncerest congratulations.
He has fought hard fight, brave
fight, and he has won it nobly. Victory
leaves not one regret From his ene-
mics he has extorted admiration, and
from his friends he has ELECTED warmast
praise. The long-tried honor of the
man is the best of guarantees that the
gentleman from Montana will win the re-.
spect and the appreciation of the ma
tional house of representatives. He
will prove himself firm, fearless. un.
swerving exponent OF every interest in
our great state. He is not the man tc
remember election differences, and he
will ably represent every section and
party in the state, republican and demo.
cratic alike.
