Preston's "Hed-Ake" cures any kind of head
ache in fifteen minutes.

The revival of Gov. Pattison, of
Pennsylvania, as a presidential possi-
bility shows that this young and popu-
lar Democrat is not likely to be lost
sight of when the national ticket of 1899
is made up. His two victories for the
Governorship of his own State, for two
terms that were not successive, mark
him as a man possessing all the eIe-
ments of sterling worth that will stand
the test and security of a presidential
campaign. 1t begins to be- apparent
that Cleveland's chances are gradually
growing smaller with the progress of
events, and yet he will probably have
strength enough in the convention to
defeat Gov. Hills aspirations. II such
a deadlock, occurs, a new man must
come to the front, and where can the
democracy find a better leader than the
young and vigorous statesman of Penn
%sylvania, who has twice defeated the
hitherto invincible cohorts of re-
pnblicanism in that State by the sheer
force of his personal popularity.-Baton

N. y. States: The press of the coun-
try is a unit in favor Of the next Con-
gress making some very pecessary
changes in our immigration and
naturalization laws. The popular de-
mand is that immigrants at the port of
embarkation shall be compelled to furn-
ish to the American consul a certificate
from the authorities of their native land
showing that they had never been con-
vlcted of a crime, and that their record
as self supporting, industrious and law
abiding citizens was good. 1t is also
evident that a determined effort will be
made at the session of the next Con-
gress to so change the naturalization
laws so as to require a residence of five
years or more in this country before
foreigners can be admitted to citizen

Morgan City Commonwealth: It is
almost next to an impossibility for a
traveller in Louisiana to obtain any in
formation regarding the arrival and de-
parture of railroad trains, their connec-
tions with other roads, or any other
matter OF Importance. The legislature
having fixed the mileage it would now
be in order to require all railroad CON-
panies to keep published, in at least one
journal of each parish through which
the road passes, a time table of passen-
ger trains. The time table should in
clude all stations on the road in the
State and should be posted in the de-
pots and hotels when possible.

Club Houses for Women.

A number of very prominent and
wealthy New York women have formed
stock company to establish and MAIN
tain, in suitable fashion, sort of club
house which will receive woman travel
ers at all hours of the night and keep
them SO long as they behave with pro-
priety. 1t is proposed to put women
upon the same basis, so far as possible, as
men are placed at hotel or club house.
1t will not be assumed that because a
woman is travelling alone at night she is
necessarily disreputable. She will be-
welcomed; no questions asked; no de-
nand for her marriage certificate made;
comfortable room will be assigned her,
which she can occupy as long as she does
not abuse the hospitality of the house.
This house is in connection with the
visitors guide and chaperone bureau, OF
New York, No. IL West Eighteenth
street The address is given for the con-
yenience of Western women who NAV
wish to visit New York unattended by a
man. Ladies who so desire, will be met
at trains and escorted to this house, and
competent guides will be furnished them
during their stay in town. This will
really be god-send to many women who
are not so situated as to always take q
man with them when they wish to visit
New York. The names of Edward Ever
ett Hale, Chauncey Depew, the Hon. and
Mrs. Seth Low Mrs. Judge Pratt and
many others, are sufficient guarantee for
this establishment.

others tanning her. some shaking and
rubbing her. But the funniest thing of
all was Mollie, the cook, who probably
weighed three hundred pounds or more,
upon her knees on the door conyulsiveiy
clasping Mrs. Dunlap around the skirts.
and in maudlin tones iInploring "Good
Mrs. Dunlap, sweet Mrs. Dunlap, to save
her," while the housekeeper, ,rwho was
very diminutive of stature, look ed around
helpless and ~bewildered. At my en-
trance Mollie sprang to her feet with a
howl of terror, no doubt fully expecting
to experience the disagreeable and novel
sensation of being swallowed alive.
When the maid became calmer, it was,
at the least, a most startling, story which
she told.
1t appears one of her duties was to take
every afternoon light repast to Lady
Dora, and the maid, being a new conner,
got completely lost among the numerous
stairs and corridors, so that she lost all
trace OF her mistress room. After wan
| dering around she at last reached what
| she supposed was Lady Dora's rooms and
knocked softly, as she claimed. Upon
hearing voices she opened the door,
thinking some one bade her enter. AS
she did SO she dropped the tray, dishes
| and all, and screaming, rushed from the
room, finding herself in the servants
hall, she scarce knew how.
What l saw in the room was great
skin, yellow and brown, upon which
was stretched an animal-a very large
animal, spotted as the skin on which it
| laid: an old black woman sat in front of it
near its head, and was speaking in a low,
quick, strange voice and language, mean
while making queer little motions and
| gestures with her hands and arms, when
! screamed and ran away"
This is the story which the maid told,
| and one listening to her could not doubt
the truth of what she was saying. Sir Lio-
nal pooh-poohed the idea, and said the
| girl had caught sight of the leopard skin
| and lost her reason-the same as Nellie
| who had drank too many toddies.
l will now say farewell. Mr.. Felix
| Rossiter viii take up the remaining
| thread OF this story and remain with you
until it is finished.
Very faithfully yours.

have only succeeded in getting six that
are sufficiently tractable to perform the
tricks OF my programme. The principal
difficulty in educating lions is that they
are too stubborn and vicious to be taught,
or rather to be made to understand what
is required of them. They certainly do
not lack intelligence, as believe the lion

is in being. able to impart knowledge, as
the pupil, in addition TO being armed with
great teeth and sharp claws, is possessed

placing them in command is accompanied
with great danger and fatigue, and the
