OF the beautiful women have known,
but few have attained superiority Of
any kind, says Anna Katherine Green
in the Ladies' Home Journal. So much
is expected by the women accustomed
to admiration, that she plays and palters
with her fate till the crooked stick is all
that is left her. This we see exemplifed
again and again. While the earnest,
lofty, sweet-smiling woman of the pale
hair and doubtful line of nose, has,
perhaps, one true lover whose worth she
has time to recognize, an acknowledged
beauty will find herself surrounded by a
crowd of snowy cyclists whose admir-
alton SO dazes and bewilders her that
she is sometimes tempted to bestow her
self upon the most importune one in
order to end the unseemly struggle.
Then the incentive to education, and to
the cultivation of ones especial powers
is lacking. Forgetting that the triumphs
which have made holiday of youth
must lessen with the years, many fair
one neglects that training of the mind
which gives to her who is poor in all
else, an endless storehouse of wealth
from which she can hope to produce
treasures for her own delectation and
that Of those about her, after the fitful
bloom upon her handsome sisters cheek
has faded with the roses of departed
summer.

man to keep it, This closed the case
and it was submitted.
Harry Kienle's case was called next
This is an application for a renewal of
the license for saloon at No. 10G East
Third street, which was turned down at
the November term, for an alleged vio-
lation Of the law, by selling liquor on
Sunday, February 9th, of last year.
Esquire Monaghan and William r.
Long testified that at the time when it
is charged the liquor was sold, KiGnle
was sick in bed, and that he had always
kept quiet, orderly place.
George w. Gray also testified to the
fact OF kienle keeping quiet, orderly
place, and as far as he knew obeying
the law. The witnesses were confident
that Kienle was prosecuted one or two
weeks after the alleged violation, when
MIR. Prickett produced copy of the
records Of the municipal court, which
showed that he was not tried until
April.
Andrew Lohner's application for a re-
newal of the license for the place form
erly kept by Walter G. Taylor, at Taylor
and Locust streets was the next con
sidered. This property belongs TO
Francis Bradley, recently appointed to
collector of taxes by the levy court, and
| the license was refused some time ago
for violation of the law by Taylor,
| who since then has secured another
place.
Mr.. Prickett, in opposing the applica-
ton, said he could have produced a re-
monstrance signed by all the manufac-
turers in the vicinity and also, that he
could have had number of witnesses,
had he thought it necessary. He
did not think the license should be
granted as there are already more than
enough saloons in the neighborhood.
Mr.. Turner who appeared for Lohner,
presented long petition and several
letters in his behalf and while the case
was still pending, court adjourned I'M
til 10 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Tuesdays session of court con
vened at 10 o'clock, with all the judges
present. Hon. Charles b. Lore made a
motion to arrest judgment in the case of
DIR. West VS.. Captain Davis, until argu-
ment could be heard in regard TO the
matter, and the motion was approved.
The court then resumed the considera-
ton of the liquor license applications,
when Branch Giles stated that, after due
deliberation, he had decided to with
draw the application of Thomas J. Fitz-
simmons
The case of Patrick F. O'Hara, who
is applying for license for saloon al
No. 612 West Second street, was the
next taken up. The applicant was
represented by II. g. Turner. Thomas
r. Lally said the applicant was man
of good character. This was the only
witness called, and, after argument by
Mr. Prickett in opposition, the case
rested.
Harry Kienle's case was again taken
up, when Chief Justice Comegys said he
had been waited upon by DIR. Short
lidge, who could not give the date when
he attended Kienle, and had gone home
to obtain il from his books.
The court announced that all commits
sioners in divorce cases who are not
ready to report, will be continued until
the next term.

"The farm of 45o acres in Amity
township, Berks county, Pa, belonging
to the late John w. Casselberry, for
which 30 years ago $4,000 was paid,
has been sold for $4,000. Thus farm
lands have deprecated under high
tariff. Whatever else may be said in
favor of so-called protection, one thing
is certain, it is burden upon the farm

A Maryland Maud MuIIes.

The late Senator Wilson of Maryland,
was very kind to a poor widow. She
had a pretty daughter, about whose
education and other affairs she often
consulted Judge Wilson, and left them
in his hands when she died, just as her
daughter was grown up. He settled up
the small estate, and advised the
daughter as to her plans. These plans
were very iudicious, but were all broken
up by the judge himself, who fell in
love with the pretty daughter and
married her-a regular Maud Muller

The bill prepared by Judge Ball of
Wilmington, providing for a system of
labor for tramps and vagabonds com
mitted to New Castle Jail, should claim
the earnest attention of the Legislature.
Such system is badly needed, and if
such law is enacted then the Jail will
not always be packed with lot Of

last night the snow fell several inches deep
and it is still showing This, the farmers
say, is Just the sort Of weather wanted to
produce crop of peaches. They are con-
iident that their predictions Of a big yield
of fruit will be verified. A Ghestertown
(Md.) farmer says: The present weather is
what our farmers want. and the largest
peach-growers here say if it will keep cold
two weeks more without any frosts in
be the result. The peaches are all right as
vet.

South American Reciprocity.

According to the present tariff
law, the President has the power
to set aside the duties on imports
in favor of any nation in the Amer
ican hemisphere that will admit
free agricultural and other prod
uts" from the United States. In
this way the United States enters
into an agreement to have tariff
laws in common with the Ameri-
can nations. Thus far the only use
to which this privilege of reciproc-
ity has been put has been to enter
into commercial relations with
some of the South American states,
and the West Indies. With Cana
da, the administrator does not
seem to care to have reciprocity.
The population of the South Amer
lean countries with whom we have
free trade is about equal to that Of
United States, and is an agricultu-
raj population. AS the recipro city
clause put into the measure to ST.
lence the wertern farmers who
were clamoring for a market for
a their produce, it would be well
for them to ponder on the above
fact. If the aim of reciprocity is
to open market for our surplus
agricultural products, why is it ap-
piled only in the case of agricultu-
raj nations? Why not have reci-
pocity with the great manufactur-
ing and shop-keeping nations of
the eastern hemisphere? They
want our wheat and pork, and are
willing to pay for them in goods
WHICH we need. But no, the "oth-
er products" are what our protec-
ZIONIST friends are most interested
in, and the eastern nations cannot
profitably Use them. The South
Americanmations care little for our
wheat; But they must have our iron
and steel. Recognizing this, the
governmentopens our ports to them
on conditions that they protect our
iron kings from competition with
English manufacturers in their
market. With the farmer hood
winked and silenced, and the iron
masters protected from rivalry, the
Republican party has secured the
monopolies, and has tricked the
farmer into believing that it is
working for his good.
