the Fluffy Girl Def1ned

A New York Recorder young man, speaking
Of girl to q matron of his!acQuaintance, re-
Gently, said:
20. she's one of these fluffy girls"
My dear boy" said the matron "what on
earth is fluffy girlf"
why. don't you know" replied the young
man. "a girl who has blue eyes, golden hair,
brilliant coloring, and like a bit of Dresden
armchair and has a plaintive tale OF woe to
confide to you-not to you, my dear madam
but to me-to some man. The girl who
wears charming gowns all frills and
ribbons and hopelessly intricate to mas
culine eyes; who is always delightfully."- clean,
with fresh curled hair, who affects certain per-
fumes, has curious gestures and modes of ex-
preston; who wears tinkling ornaments at her
wrists end quantities of rings on her fingers;
who abounds in parasols fans and snawls
which we men carry trailing humbly about in
her wake. This is the fluffy girl, and. my dear
lady. long experience with her has taught me
that she usually possesses temper as fluffy as
her gown

Under the caption Of divorce In high life"
the New York Press recites that one Peter
Wilbank. who ia described as a close friend
of a certain notorious forger by the name
Of Hegate. is sued for divorce by his wife
at Atlantic City. When next the New York
Press refers 90 "high life" the public may
understand what is implied Apparently
the views about such things vary widely in
different parts Of the country. Those of the
Press and it's New Jersey clientele appear
rather peculiar from this distance. AS a
fashionable accomplishment forgery is not
30 highly regarded here. But possibly that
may be considered only another of those
points in which we are to be considered
"slow." Yet we are not ambitious to be
faster.

The Tribune says there is report that
Gov. D. B. Kill and Gov.-elece Roswell P.
Flower "have formed political partner
ship for the purpose Of furthering their
respective ambitions for public Office" The
Tribune doesn't have any use for Gov.

Recently Michigan man found it neces-
sary to rise in his place at Ionia and an
nounce that his skeleton had not been found
for the very rational reason that he was
still using 1t to carry around his flesh. This
denial was rendered appropriate by the SEN
sational statement Of a local newspaper to
the effect that his bones had been found in
the woods. But the man certainly ought TO
be considered the best judge of his own
bones

By way Of experiment New York
broker kept turkey on ice ten years and
then invited DR.. Chauncey Depew to help
him eat 1T. Therefore the fact that 1t had
wholly lost its flavor could not have been
very surprising. Possibly IL was intended
as gentle hint to the chin professor that by
being long stuffed with chestnuts a body of
any kind as well as the component chestnuts
may lose flavor because devoid Of taste.

Alderman oann,s Key.note.

Alderman Cam struck keynote in the
council meeting Wednesday night when he
called a halt in expenditures that are not abb
solutely necessary.
Street improvements, water works and
house drainage should have all the money
that can be spared for them, but there
should not be opened any new avenues of
expenses. In all the departments
the strictest economy should be
exercised. Committees, instead of seeking
to get all they can for their respective de-
partments should strive to get along with
just as small an amount OF money as posi-
bic. This is a time when more credit is
earned by saving money than by expanding
IL. The people not only Of this city but OF
the entire south have been facing
trying business situation for many
months. and the outlook is still far from
encouraging. The councilmen should keep
in mind that the low price of cotton affects
injuriously all kinds Of business and that
the city's revenues may not be paid as
promptly during the coming year as they
have been heretofore.
Let the absolutely necessary public im-
provements be pushed forward, but let no
expenses be incurred that can be avoided
without harm to the public interesta

ME emphatically pronounced his critic

alton delivered from the pulpit that is COM

at Indianapolis a few nights ago an in
cident occurred that was almost worthy of
grim old Brutus himself. Discovering a
thief in drug store Policeman James Will
son called for help. While two brother
officers stood guard outside Wilson climbed
IN a rear window that had been left open by
the thief. Soon after two shots were heard
In quick succession, and then the sounds of
a struggle. Then the men outside heard
Wilson's voice calling for help. Upon en-
tering they found that Wilson had the
burglar down behind a cigar case. They
also saw that stream Of blood was flowing
from a bullet wound in Officer Wilson's
head. It was then discovered that the man
he held pinioned to the floor was his own
son, notorious criminal whom Gov. Hovey
had pardoued from the penitentiary shortly
before the latter's death. But the wounded
officer delivered the young man to the
other officers with instructions that he be
locked up. Apparently Spartan fortitude

authorities. The pension fund will be
supported to the extent of two-thirds by
the state, the other third will be borne
equally by employers and workmen. A
mans contribution will be one cent for
every working day for q pension of $50,
and penny for pensions of $125. Foreign
workmen will be excluded from the hene-
fits of the law, and their employers will
have to pay ON their behalf two cents q
day, to go to a special pension fund for
French workmen prematurely disabled.
The rumor that the czar is considering
the advisability of transferring the capital
to Moscow is without foundation, writes
the correspondent of the London Times at
St. Petersburg. It probably originated in
the fact that his majesty has promised to
visit the old capital once a year, COM
mencing from 1892. In any case, how
ever, a little reflection would serve to
demonstrate the extreme improbability of
any such step being taken at the present
time. New buildings would have to be
built and fitted up at Moscow for the
various branches of the administration,
new services would have to be organized,
and the city would have to be embellished.
This alone, without taking into account
the indemnities to be paid to various Off
cials for transferring their residences,
would entail an expenditure of many
millions of rubles, upon which it is scarce
ly probable that the Russian treasury
would venture with its present means.
Nor is it likely that such an expenditure
would be sanctioned by the czar, who is
known to be very economical as regards
both his own private household and the
finances of the State.

THE OUTLOOK FOR PARNELL.

lhE OOILOOA FUR FAhN ELLs
Now everybody interested in Irish and
English politics is wondering what Parnell
and his 'tsure enough" wife will manage to
do. Probably no immediate restoration of
confidence between Parnell and the liberal
leaders is possible, nor is it probable that
the faction feud will end without long op-
position from some of his now irreooncil-
able enemies, but the marriage has deprived
his foes of one of their most potent weap-
ons of attack. His moral position assured,
political restoration will come. A woman
broke the great leader down. She may
now do much to build him up. 1t is said
that she talks of leaving Brighton and tax
ing large house in London. If she wins
her probate suit sheawill be rich and able
to entertain. Those knowing her best say
she aims to form a political and artistic
salon, to create which she has capacities
equal to her ambition. 1t has long been
known that she has been valuable politi-
cal ally of Mr.. Parnell, with whom she has
discussed every turn of affairs more init
mately than any member of his party.
What effect the attitude of the Catholic
clergy will have remains to be seen. OF
course they cannot accept Parnell's mar
riage as condoning his offense, but what
ever protest they may make will perhaps
not be very vigorous. Both the English
liberals and the Irish people will look upon
him as one who has done all he could to
atone for his fault. 1t will probably not
| be long before he is back in his old place
and the cause of Home Rule, which had
seemed to be almost fatally hurt, flourish,
ing again. There are not many men like
Parnell, and he is much needed by Ireland

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.

The financial doctors of this country
are gravely discussing the condition of
their patient, and, as usual, coming to the
conclusion that they don't quite know
what the trouble is. Tremendous crops
are in sight, money is plenty, and bids
fair to be more SO, and yet there is no
activity and prices are declining. That
they will ever rise doth not yet appear, but
they undoubtedly will 1t has not been
SO very long since the panic, when it
looked as if everything was about to
smash, and when good many things did
not be Immediately recovered from and
confidence is plant of slow
growth, as we used to read in the old
copy books. There is no dis
position to speculate, and not very fer
vent faith in the desirability of the Wall
street bats. In Europe there is similar
condition of affairs. They don't want to
speculate there, and they haven't as much
money to speculate with as they had.
Possibly there will be large period, of
quiet and dullness in the speculative
markets of the world while the rich men
are getting their affairs arranged and while
the people of the nations are producing
enough wealth to make up for what has
been lost or " distributed"
Furthermore, it is undeniable that peo-
pie in this country who want to do business
