TIE sr,.rrnnrR CONVICTION.

The question is now made as TO the
regularity in which the body was called

Called 10 order by the Chairman OF
the old Executive Committee. and then
OF the new committee, it IS PLAIN TO SET

Along with other things, it is a solemn
fact that the men OF this movement

Hotel Guests.

In nearly every hotel reading room in
this city will be seen the legend, "This
room is exclusively for guests" Is it not
possible that what our hotel keepers mean
Is precisely the opposite? They may mean
to say that the room in question is for the
use of those boarding, living in the house;
people who are expected to settle their bills
promptly every week, and who are any
thing but quests" But, after all, the
hotel managers may mean that their pleas
ant sitting rooms are set apart for the pub
lie, for visitors, who are truly guests"
These are supplied with pens, ink and paper
free of cost, and they may read and lounge
here as long as they will, while the board
ers or patrons of the house. having their
own rooms to retire to, are expected to take
polite hint and avoid trespassing upon
courtesies which are extended exclusively
to the "guests" of the hOuse.-Washingto

Ee Knew the Mule.

During the trial Of horse case in Judge
Otis court, st. Paul, a scene was enacted
that struck the chords of humor in the
Judge, attorneys, jurors and spectators to
an extent not often witnessed in court
One Of the attorneys persistently referred
to the horse as that mule" He called an
expert witness to testify TO the value and
qualities of the horse. 1t soon became ap-
parent that the witness was not as familiar
with the horse as desired The attorney
asked the following questions:
you Know that to be the same mule?
You know that mule? You may not know
the mule fully, but you have a nodding
acquaintance with him."
The witness nodded, assented and left
the stand with a face shade redder than
two slices of beet, while the occupants of
the court room, including the court, shook
their sides with laughter.-St. Paul Globe

4 pevelopsr Of Actresses.

Would my girl readers like to have a
glimpse of the famous developer Of actress
es? A little later David Belasco-he Of
the flashing black eyes and Greek cameo
profile-came dashing along with the re-
sistless force of Johnstown food. He is
always in hurry, and no wonder, consid-
ering his varied and rapid achievements in
writing plays, bringing out debutantes and
supervising stage productions. Belasco is
a perfect incarnation of fire and fury when
conducting a rehearsal. He acts every
part in turn, he hustles the slow ones, he
encourages those who lack confidence, he
represses those who are too self satisfied,
and he shows more meanings TO all of
them than they had dreamed of finding in
or between-their lines.

1t is a singular fact that the only houso
ever built in Washington city by the Fa-
Their of his Country is still standing on
North Capital street, in that city, in COM
parative obscurity. Few Washington peo-
pie know of it's existence, and it is never
pointed out as Il ,trucrurc of historic in
terest. The reason for this lies probably
in the fact that the house, ~ originally
built, contained three stories; but when
the street was graded two more stories
were added, and the building is now used
as hotel. 1t is said that some of the rooms
in this old building are in much the same
condition as when occupied by Washing
tons family in 1902 A building of this
kind should be utilized as a museum for
historical curios and not vandali2ed by

fully to work to develope her resour-
ces and multiply her population, her
real property owners and dealers
must come to the front and take q
leading part in creating the fund
through which this most necessary

first to the real estate dealer, after
that to the merchant, the butcher.

the scores of others who are to reap

So must the real estate dealer come

for funds, and after that the others
will follow suit. This Is the gospel
of development.

POLITICS AND RELIGION.

Preachers Who Are Not Democrats
Must Abstain ia Arkansas.
Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. 81
The fifty-ffth annual Arkansas con-
ference of the M. E. Church South
met here yesterday and organized
with Bishop Fitzgerald, of Nashville,
in the chair. The day was spent in
the appointment of committees and
the usual routine business. DR.. Pot
ter, from Georgia, missionary secre.
tary, preached an able sermon last
night. Today the conference was
busy in calling the names and pass
ing on the character of the elders.
The name of Rev. T. M. G. Birming-
ham, late candidate for superintep.
dent Of public instruction, will be
reached tomorrow, and IL is consid-
cred certain that charges will be pre-
ferred against him for accepting the
nomination on the labor-republican
state ticket. The democratic press in
different parts of the state and many
prominent churchmen, particularly
the ministers and laymen from the
Morrilton region, are clsmorous for
proceedings against him. Mr.. Bir-
mingham has been advised by many
friends to weaken and throw himself
on the mercy Of the conference, &C.
knowledging that he was wrong,
1t is thought, however, that he
will stand firm on the grounds
of personal and political liberty
that not only is it right, but his sa
cred duty, to denounce election frauds

miscarriage of Justice in failing t.
punish political criminals, and tina

most important committees.
The case is watched with grea
interest, as Rev. N. B. Fizer, late can
didate for governor on the Labo
ticket, is a membet Of the White Riv
or Conference, of the same churcl
and this trial will likely foreshadoy
its action in the case of Mr.. FiZer.

The Vanity of Hair Dyeing.

Hair dyeing is not entirely a. feminine
fad, says a barber to a Glb5s-Demoerat re-
porter. 1t is exceptional.for men to take
the trouble and suffer the. annoyance, and
even pain, which continual bleaching
and dyeing entail. But some men are
guilty of the weakness, aud they are not
all actors or men who livet by their wits
and personal appearance. Ladies gener-
- prefer gold, but men who are dis
satisfied with the naturalgcolor of their
hair almost invariably goEn for black.
To keep up the deception, two, if not
three applications a week, are necessary,
and one customerof mine had me visit
him every a~lternates day for over three
years. Dyeing theshsir kills it in time,
and makes it brittle and thin during the
process, while the number of scalp dis
eases sacrificed at the shrine of vanity is
legion. Several BARRIERS now decline all
dyeing business, and / am one of the
number. But In years gone by Lid my
shareo,and admit having made aqGantity
Of money at it.. The acids used are so
strong that they positively make the I'm
gers sore, and as the scalp is much more
sensitive than the fingers the tortures
endured by those WAC subject their heads
to constant irritation in this manner can
be more easily imagined chan described.

they can wellsay. we are the best audges of the

petting q Sick Child.

The mother at the sick bed other Dung
child is a being quite often as dificl hit to
manage as her child, all .the instin ctive
maternity is up in arms. Deep in the
heart of many mothers there is an +un-
confessed and half -smothered senses OF
wrath at the attack which sickness has
made on her dear one. Then nothing is
too much to give; no sacrificesof hel self
or others too great to grant or demand.
The irritability and feebleness of COB
valescence make claims upon her love -sof
self sacrifice, aud her prodigality of ten
derness as positive, and yet more bar le-
full.
That in most cases she may andTloes
60 too far, and loses for hUa>child WI Lat is
hard to recover in health, is a thing likely
enough, yet to talk to her at such. IA time
of the wrong she does the child is almost
to insult her. Nevertheless, the unwis-
dom of a course of reckless yielding to a
child's whims is plain enough, for if the
littleaese be long i'll or weak, it learns
with sahsswiftness to exact more and
more, and to yield less and less, soi that
it becomes increasingly hard to do for it
the many little unpleasant things which
sickness demands. Character comes
strongly out in the maladies Of the child
as it does even less distinctly in Che sick
ness of the adult. The spoiled, V i'll
dulged child is a doubly unmanages1ol lie
invalid, and when in illness the foolish
petting of the mother continues, the doc
tor, at least, is to be pitied.-Doetor and
