In an Awkward Predicament.

A newspaper man came out of an uptown
theater the other night between the acts arm
in arm with the manager, says the New York
Tribune.
"Splendij my boy, splendid" said the news
paper man. Sure to draw immensely"
Think so, old man. replied the manager
"Gad TO hear it. Come in here and let's drink
success to the star" And they turned into a
cafe adjoining the playhouse and speedily
brought up before the bar.
There they Spied a well-known man-about-
town, whose acquaintance the newspaper man
was rather proud of, and glad of the oppor-
tunity to show his familiarity with the million
aire, he seized his opportunity to introduce his
friend the manager by name, but omitted to
mention his business.
Have something to drink with u.s. said the
pleased manager: I'VE were just going to wet
our VIII stiles when we saw you. What will you
have?"

bad taste in his mouth, doubling if he had in

Where Reform Is Need ed.

The New York Sun seems to have de-
SPARED of eifecting reform in the matte,
of baptiSmai names. Occasionally it usel
to turn its light upon the weakness Of
pare It's in giving their children alleged
romantic names, aud of the young ladies in
changing their sweet, sensible names into
Frenchy one, but it does SO no more. This
is to be regretted. The CAUSE was most
righteous one, and although it cannot be
said that it was gaining ground, yet
il is not like the Sun to aban-
don it ON that account, and
the hope can be INDUCED that Mr.. Dana is
gathering strength for more determined
onslaught. But in the meantime the nui-
sance of Frenchy and romantic names be-
comes greater. The young ladies who were
formerly known as Mary are nearly all
called Marie now, audit is pretty difficult to
find girl with a really pretty and at the
same time sensible name. The people who
complain of this condition of affairs are told
that a new aad better order of things,
with regard to names, has set in,
but when they see engraved upon
a card "Hildegard Eudora" they are
quite disposed to deny that there is an inn
provement, and if the surname happens to
be Smith, as it sometimes may, the incol-
gruity is somewhat startling. Likewise
ones nerves are shocked upon hearing a
child called Myrtle Lucille.
1t is unnecessary to infiic one with such a
name as Jane Maria, and it is equally so to
give girl q name which il maturer years
will be extremely inappropriate 1t was
Swinburne who wrote 81 loved you for that
name of yours long before we met" and
nobody has any idea that the mama was
Marie. or Hildegard Eudora, or any other
| of that class.

Advertising a State.

Florida has developed more rapidly in
the last ten or fifteen years than anv other
Of the southern states, and the chief reason
is that she has been more extensively and
Systematically advertised than any other
This is a case Of cause aud effect. OF course
Florida has resources that justify all of the
advertising she has received, otherwise the
benefits derived from the advertising ould
have been temporary. People might have
beea beguiled into moving there, CT invest
ing money there, but If there had not bsen a
substantial basis for the claims in FIorida's
favor the new settlers would have pu He'd
up stakes and moved away, AMI capitalists
would have declined TO follow up their first
investments with others. A state, however,
that can produce annually $4,000 worth of
honey, $4,000 worth Of strawberries.
$4,000 worth of hogs. $4,000 worth of
sheep, $4,000 worth of beef, $50, OOO
worth of sponges. SS0O, 900 worth of fish and
oysters, IS, 800. 900 worth Of oranges, lemons,
lines and pineapples. S65, 900 worth of sugar
and molasses, $4,000 worth OF rics,
$4,000 worth of cedar, S4,0O0,0O0 worth
OF cotton, and thousands of dollars worth
its praises sounded.
The London bureau of the Florida Inquiry
and Land Investment Company has issued
little pamphlet, which printed in London,
for the enlightenment fEnglish men relative
to the resources and advantages of Florida.
1t gives about all of the information re-
quired by people desiring to change their
homes or to invest money. 1t is an illustra
ton Of what is being done to direct the at
tention of such people to Florida.
How many other southern states have
ever done anything of the kind. Their ca
pacity for development may bs as great as
that of Florida, but they are not advertis-
ing themselves as psrsissently and judi
ciously. They can get valuable lessol il
this respect from that state.

The Days That Never Return.

Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats song that is bali sigh.
Like the sound of leaves when the wint
sweeps by,
Like the sound of breakers far away,
AS they beat and sob,
As they beat and throb,
Till hear voice in the distant roar
ON that lovely stretch of sandy shore
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats song for the dying year
A song that thrills with an unShed tear
Thro' the winter twilight, cold and gray,
AS the breakers sob,
AS the breakers throb,
And bear the voice with its old refrain.
For the days that never come back again.
Over the strings OF my harp to-day
Floats a song for nay sweet, lost youth
For OH would give in very truth,
Riches and fame and power away
To dream once more
Those bright dreams DER
1T is vain regret, signs that old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.
Over the strings of my harp to day
Floats song for the dying year;
A song that thrills with an unshed tear,
Like the sound of breakers away
How they beat and sob.
How they beat and throb!
And hear that voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.

The Mobile NeIvs thinks that there is
going to be a Quadrangular political fight in
Georgia this year. 1t reaches this conclu-
sion after taking it for granted that the
republicans will nominate a state ticket,
and that there will also be democratic,
prohibition and farmers alliance tickets
The NeacS places too much reliance in the
statements concerning Georgia politics
which it sees in northern republican news
papers. In addition to the regular demo-
cratic ticket, there may be regular repub-
lican ticket, but there is very little iikeli-
hood that there will be farmers alliance and
prohibition tickets.

She Obtained the Facts, Anyhow


The sewing girl was very pretty, there was
no doubt about that, says the Merchant Trau-
eIer. but there was no reason, the wife thought,
why Harry should look at the sewing girl so often
and so intently Indeed, why should he look
at the sewing girl al all: She had promised to
join box party at the theater with the
smiths, and Harry said he believed he wouldn't
go, he'd rather stay in the sitting-room and
smoke and read, and the Smiths could bring her
home The sewing gicl was at work in the
81 ,ting-room and would be engaged until 9
O'Clock. 1t was doubtful situation. but wives
are adroit and alert. This one bethought her of
the perfected monograph Harry had brought
home. She would take 1t into the si5tipg-room
1t worked automatically with conversation
anywhere near il, and registered with perfect
accuracy. emitting again on occasion ali it had
heard. She carried out the idea and joined the
theater party.
When the wife returned Harry was in bed
sleeping the sleep of the just--or the hardened.
She closed the doors tightly, to cut Off eli
sound and turned the monograph crank with
fear and trembling. AT the first revocation she
almost tainted. There issued the voices of
Harry and the sewing girl. He had been in the
room.
She recovered after a time and turned the
crank Here is the conversation she heard:
Hello. Have you seen meerschaum pipe

The Tariff Bill.

In our dispatches yesterday there was
very full synopsis of the tariff bill which
the ways and means committee has been
working upon ever since the opening of this
congress. 1t will be known as the Mckinley
bill, not only because Mr.. Mckinley is the
chairman of the committee, but also because
he has had more to do with framing 1t
than any one else. The estimated reduction
in the revenues for which it provides is
$50. 900, 900 a year.
1t is worthy of notice that those interests
upon which the Republican party depends
for support in elections, and which furnisha
very large part of the money for conduct
ing the political campaigns of that party,
are touched very lightly. The duty on steel
rails, for instance, which is now SIT per
ton. is reduced to s13 per ton, although it
is alleged that Mr. Carnegie said the other
day that S. per ton would afford steel rail
manufacturers all the protection they need
The duty on sugar, however, which
is southern product and in which
the Republican party has no interest, is
reduced s. per cent. This reduction of the
sugar duty represents nearly half of the
entire amount of the reductions for which
the bill provides. There is also very con-
siderable reduction in the duty on rice,
although the ways and means committee.
understands that unless there is very great
reduction in duties ON articles which the
rice planters are compelled to have in
making their crops 1t will be impossible if
the proposed reduction in the duty on rice
is made, to grow that article profitably.
For good many years the rice and sugar
planters have regarded the republicans as
their friends, because of the protection
policy of that party. They are now brought
face to face with the fact that they have all
along been treated with more consideration
| by tue Democratic party. The Mills bill of
the last congress made less reduction in
the duties on both rice and sugar than the
| Mckinley bill makes The democrats
| looked upon these articles as almost wholly
revenue articles and they dealt with them
| as such.
The republicans are compelled, if they
satisfy their friends and at the same time
make any considerable reduction in the
revenues, to attack sugar and rice They,
therefore, sacrifice two great southern pro-
| ducts in order to save the monopolies whose
| big profits enable them 10 help the Republi-
can party whenever it needs help. 1t is
| probable that in future the sugar and rice
planters will not place so much dependence
| upon the protective policy OF the Republican
party. They have learned that the repub-
leans adopt that policy only where, in their
their opinion, it will tend to strengthen
their party.
