THEIR FAVORlTE GEMS.

Il place diamonds above all other gems
in my esteem." said Mrs Frederick w.
Vanderbilt.
ut would be difficult for me to select
from opals, diamonds and amethysts which
is my prime favorite," said Mrs Leland
Stanford.
MY preference among gems is unques-
tionably for the diamond" said Mrs. Don
Cameron, wife of the senior senator from
Pennsylvania
diamonds are certainly the most beau
tifu1 Of all gems" was the reply Of Mrs.
William Astor when requested to name
her favorite precious stone.
Adelina Patti is lavish in her collection
of precious stones, and it is one Of the de-
lights of her life to spend hours at a jewell
er's running over his treasures and max
ing her selections.
II think that, while am an ardent ad-
mirer of all gems, may safely say that
the opal is my favorite," was the answer
! of Mrs. Roswell P. Flower, the wife of the
| millionaire New York congressman.
Il cannot lay claim to being connois'
| seur in precious stones, and perhaps, there
! fore, it would be presumptuous in me to

| Wanamaker. wife of the postmaster gen.
eral
Said Mrs Senator NJ. S. Quay, OF Penn

! color is so exquisite as that of the sap

'Moonstones are among the most beauti-
| ful Of oil gems in my opinion" said Mrs.
John w. Noble, wife OF the secretary OF
the interior. MY interest in them was
| largely increased by reading Wilkie Col
| Inns great story Of The Moonstone-'
/ Ithink that, all things considered, pearls
are my favorite gen." said Mrs. Willie K.
| Vanderbilt. TO be sure, they lack the
brilliancy Of diamonds, but they more
than make up for that by their graceful
| form and delicate whiteness of color"
My favorite gem," said Mrs. James G.
Blaine, echoing the question. Il am a
great atlmirer of diamonds. To me the
principal beauty Of the diamond is its
briliancy, and pure white ones are seldom
or never SO brilliant as those that are &
little off color. Hence my preference for
the latter"-New York Journal.

Advertising as an Investment

Advertising is tax on him who so re-
CARDS it. Only when he has learned TO
look upon it as an Investment. and treat
it as such, giving it his time and thought,
will it develop into a thing that pays.
Newspaper advertising space. like most
other kinds Of property, has two values;
to wit, what it costs the advertiser and
what it is worth to him Therefore. in
buying it. he should consider its charac-
ter as well as its price Roller Mill.

patronage, and with the other tore
away the foundation on which it should
stand A brilliant lobby that. wasn't
it?
Now, as matter of fact, the only
Offices worth mentioning created by the
late legislature were the railway COM
mission and state revenue agent. The
others were simply necessary additions
to the clerical force in many depart
ments and institutions, and in the case
of the Southwestern asylum. the pro-
viding for the entire force, from super
intendent down, necessary to equip and
manage an institution created under a
previous administration. That is all
there is to this bosh about lobby for
increasing patronage and appropria-
lions. a lobby that was smart enough
to work Mr.. Gresham, chairman Of the
finance committee. and afterwards work
the two houses for increased patronage
and appropriations, would surely have
been smart enough to prevent reduc-
ton of taxes. AS well say that the
railway commission was created for the
sole purpose of putting more patronage
and power in the governors hands.
There is fully as much or little sense in
that as in the other about the dumb fool
patronage lobby.

The predominant feeling at the
Waco meeting of the Alliance was
against third party. One of the
leading members of the order put it
this way: Il think there will be no
third party in Texas, as the demands
Of the Alliance will be engrafted Oh
the platform Of the Democratic party,
and OF course the men that are nomi-
mated will have to stand on the party
platform
If the effort shall be made, as likely
it viii. to make the demands OF the
Alliance part of the Democratic
platform. it becomes of interest to know
what those demands are.
AS formulated in the meeting OF the
National Alliance delegates at Ocala,
Fla, last December, the farmers ask:
The abolition OF national banks.
That the government shall establish
sub-treasuries or repositories which
shall loan money TO the people at d
rate of interest not to exceed 2 per
cent per year, upon non-perishable pro-
ducts or real estate.
That the circulating medium shall be
increased to $50 per capita.
That dealing in futures" shall be
prohibited by law.
Free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
To prohibit alien ownership OF
land.
An income tax.
Reduction of the tariff and the limi-
tation of national and state revenues
to the needs of government honestly
administered.
Are the Democrats Of Texas ready to
accede to these demands if the Alliance
gets the upper hand and forces such
platform upon them?
And if the Alliance cannot get the
upper hand and dictate the platform
will its following, after taking part in
Democratic conventions and in the
state convention. accept the platform
that the Democrats construct, and
vote for the nominees of that party?

BY accepting the legislation OF the
late legislature as binding upon
them, the representatives of the
Texas railroads have done a judi
cious thing. II was not, indeed, con-
cessiOn on their part for which the
public owe them gratitude, for the
state is 4 greater power than the rail
roads, and they would have had to do
the laws will: but they could have been
very troublesome if they had chosen to
be stif-necked about it, and put great
many Instructions in the way of the
new laws TO regulate them. Their
prompt acceptance of what is offered
them is to their credit. and if they will
give the state genuine, hearty assist
ance in its endeavOr TO correc3 the
abuses connected with railway manage
ment in Texas, they will evoke u re-
sponsive feeling of good will in the
public mind.

THE APPROPRIATIONS.

If there was lobby on hand working
the late legislature for increased appro-
priations and the creation OF more pat
ronage as an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES organ
charges, it must certainly have been
the biggest iackass OF a lobby that ever
tried to pull the wool over the eyes of a
legislator. A number OF additions We're
made to the clerical force of several de-
partments of the state government,
which increased help was badly needed,
as shown conclusiveiy by the heads of
departments who appeared before the
finance committee for that purpose.
The same is true Of the increased help
allowed the various state institutions
They had to have the help, and proved
it to the satisfaction of the finance COM
mittee. They also proved the absolute
necessity for improvements, additions
and increased facilities, all of which
called for money. The committee al
lowed for these purposes what it deemed
absolutely necessary, and the two
houses Endorsed the allowances. But
according to the organ aforesaid these
appropriations for increased help, addi-
lions, etc., were instigsted by lobby
that had no other end in view than SIN
creasing the patronage Of the COVER
nor" But that was not all the patron
age lobby did. It moved the legislature
to reduce the taxes from 20 to 16; cents
this year and Is cents next, or, if it did
not. sat stupidity on its launches while
the thing was being done, and the in
come from taxation was being so re-
duced as to compel the governor to
skimp and cut down expenses in many
ways next year in order to pull through
without q deficit. Who ever before
heard Of lobby like that? With one
hand it built up an imposing edifice Of

with the desire of the nation to show re-
spect to his memory, the funeral will be

After the embalming process is concluded
tonight the remains will lie in state in the
hall of the generals staff. They will be
guarded by two officers in full uniform
Before the embalmers commenced their
work the body was stretched on q small,
