~Nir. Cleveland has written II
letter to Secretary Culp OF the
Worlds Fair Committee respect
fully declining the pressing inv'-
tation to attend the dedication
ceremonies of the Fair. The cx-
President gave his reason for not
accepting the invitation that his
trip to Chicago would be regard
ed as Il political tour, and again
he did not care to be placed IN the
light Of taking Il seeming political
advantage Of President Harrison,
who Is now compelled to remain
ut Washington On account of the
illness of his wife. MIR. Cievc-
land Is truly II typical American,
and the people of this great coun-
try appreciate the lofty character
of the man.

1@The indignation continues
to blaze in Alabama and the peo-
pie OF that State have the right to
resent the interference in their
affairs Of an outsider like CHRIS.
Magee, of Pennsylvania, who was
the man that suggested the arrest
of the officials of Bullock county.
We very much mistake the tenn
per of the Alabamians if they do
not make things pretty warm for
Magee and his co-conspirators if
any further attempts are made to
drag the county judges and clerks
on to jail. Reports from Ala
bama show that the people are
not in mood to tolerate such
outrages.

~Another prominent Repub-
lican has come into the Democra-
ic ranks and taken a position un-
der the banner of tariff reform.
This. time it Is Judge Jacob D.
Cox, who, at one time, was Gov
crnor of Ohio, and is still one of
the most influential men in the
Buckeye State, having been
one of the abtest leaders of the
Republican party. The announ-
cement that he has abandoned his
old party fell upon the RepubIi-
cans like bombshell, because
they realize that he will carry
hundreds of votes over to Cleve-
land.

h~The desertion of such men
as Judge Gresham and Judge
Cooley from the Republican par
ty has caused the managers of Mr..
Harrison's campaign SO much
alarm that they are making their
agents prepare bogus denials pur-
porting to come frori Judge Gres-
ham and Judge Cooley, which are
telegraphed all over the country
through the Associated Press.
One of them appears this morn
ing in the shape of an extract
from letter alleged to have been
written by Judge Gresham to one
w. II. CaIlins, of Port Townsend,
Wn. The denial, however, is such
filmsy lie that 1t failed to de-
ceive the followers of Judge Gres-
ham. for whose benefit it was
published. If the Republicans,
however, continue this kind of
business much longer they are
likely to get rap between the
eyes In the shape of a letter from
Judge Gresham giving IN full his
reasons for abandoning the Re-
publican party

~A patron Of the New York
Sun writes.bo that paper for in
formation regarding the wherea-
bouts of Senator Mills and the
lyus, replies that he has been Ill ,
but is now getting well, to the
satisfaction of all Democrats who
admire him for his courage and
ability. This is a very neat compll-
mcnt to the distinguished Texan,
but the Suns information is not
entirely correct, because Mr.. Mills
is fully restored to health, and is
now out in Iowa hammering holes
in the Mckinley tariff bill to the
intense delight of very large au-
diences of farmers.

The United States Investor has de.
cided to offer $1,000 in prizes for es
says of not more than one column
each respecting American cities and
towns.
We take pleasure in announcing
that the following distinguished gen
tlemen have consented to act as judges
to award these prizes:
Hon. Henry Cabot L odge, OF Mass.

For the best essay respecting any
American city or town, $500: for the
third test essay respecting any A
merican city or town, $500.
Each essay is to deal with the mer-
it's of the city or town chosen AS its
subject, either AS desirable place of
residence: rs affording opportunities
for investment, as place of peculiar
location; as a place of unusual rapid
growth: as place in which an un-
usual large amount Of capital and
labor is employed in any particular
industry, as a place possessed of great
undeveloped resorces, such as water
power, coal and iron. etc, which is
peculiar because it has long escaped
attention; as a place of great histori-
cal interest; or as possessing any 9TH
er claim to unique interest; or as spe-
cial distinction.
In awarding the prizes, the judges
will consider the literary merits of
the essays, as we'll as the town or city

go outside of the essay itself for evi-
dence that the town or city possesses

must rest wholly upon what is said
by the essayist within the space of
the column allotted to him. This

Levec Fund Entertainment.
A BRILLIANT AND CN.
QUALIFIED SUCCESS.

AS we predicted IN IL previous
issue, Freyllan's Opera House was
filed to overtiowing on Thursday
eveninghy II generous audience who
assembled to accord IL royal well
come to the Mammoth Minstrels,
of Baton Rouge, and to contribute
to the fund for the new Icvcc now
IN process of construction around
our sister city, Bayou Sara. That
the kindly and most liberal action
of the ''Mummoths' in donating
their excellent services in the
cause w:,s highly appreciated by
the large and intelligent assem-
blage that came to greet them,
WAS fully and fitt,ngly evinced in
the respectful attention accorded
them and the frequent and vocif-
erous applause that followed their
humorous and entertaining per-
formances.
Tho minstrel exhibition was
simply immense" throughout.
Mr.. Moran as the Happy Hotten-
tot was Inimitable, and the Or
chestra and vocal renditions were
most excellent.
The several refreshment tables,
presided over by fair ladies who
devoted their attention assidu-
ously to the self imposed duty,
were tastefully and handsomely
decorated and plentifully supplied
with an abundance of substantial
ed,blcs as we'll as the lighter re-
frcshments, and these were all
largely patronlzed. The meat
and coffee stand was ably attend
ed by Mesdames +. NJ. Mumford,
Morris Wolf and Emanuel Wolf;
Ice Cream by Mines. +. Converse,
Jos. Golsan and Sidney Powell;
Lemonade by Mrs. J. D. Austen
and Miss Mamie Bockel.
Mr.. Gus Brown, as Auctioneer
succeeded IN selling off an I'M
mcnse assortment, of articles for
the benefit of the fund and Great
ed great and long continued mer-
riment by his wittlcisms and bril-
liant repartecs. He sold out
clock, stock and barrel,' not
withstanding that many articles
were redonatcd by generous pur-
chascrs and rcsold for the benefit
of the purpose IN view.
The phonograph, which was
kindly loaned by Mr.. Gus. L.
Friend for exhibition on the
occasion, was unfortunately una
valuable for the purpose on
account Of the unavoidable noise
peculiar to large assemblages.
But the voice of our genial friend
MIR. Sam Sackcrman could not be
drowned out as he heralded the
attractions Of the sport he had
under his especial patronage
guessing the number of beans a
bottle contained. The result of
this contest will be announced
later.
After witnessing the multitude
nous attractions the merry party
fell into the mazy dance, and thus
continued with flying feet to
chase the hours away until 3
O'Clock a. IN. when somebody
struck up the beautiful and i'm
pressive song "emok EN- ekat
rehtom" and the happy throng
soon dissolved, turning their
footsteps homeward.
That the entertainment, with
its numerous adjuncts and auXil-
laries was huge success, is a
self evident fact. OF course it is
as yet too early moment to get |
returns from the various sources
of income, but IN our opinion the
grand total of gross receipts will
not fall much under six hundred |
dollars. Exact or closely ap-
proximate figures next week.

Seldom Is complaint made Of too
generous return from the land. Judging,
however, by the reports from across the
line the Canadians in the prairie prov
inces had this year such an abundant
crop that they could with difficulty han
die it, and in some instances contented
themselves for the present with market
ing only the choicest of their fields.
They may be envied by some, but no
man grudges them their good fortune,
for tho same advantages which they
possess are open to all who choose to
avail themselves Of the opportunity to
possess q share of the land that is so
fruitful. And whether on one side OF
the line or the other it is all adding to
the wealth of the American Continent.
And they exhibit no churlishness in the
matter, come one como |; II is the princi-
pie that actuates them in the distribu-
ton Of their lands. They ask no ques.
tions about mans nationality or opin-
ions. If he wants land he is free to
take it, without money and without
price. 1t is enough for them that he
wishes, us they do, to enjoy his home,
make enough money and join with them
in educating the children and providing
for the family. And they have such q
wealth of the most fertile land in the
world they are only anxious that the
newcomer should make good selection
and become prosperous. And their gov
eminent and railway companies have
taken care that he shall make no mis-
take If they can prevent it. Careful
surveys have been made even of the
new districts SO that an incomer may in
Winnipeg learn as much concerning
any specified section as if he were on
the ground himself. The park lands OF
Assiniboia, the fertile valleys Of the
Saskatchewan and the dairy and ranch
ing country Of Alberta are pierced by
railways NIL centering in Winnipeg.
The tide that is beginning to set into
these western farming districts is not
much to be wondered at.

Old Fashioned rattinR.


Everything works In circles We arc
told. and the wheel Of time has turned
around to bring back the old style OF
fancy work known as tatting. OK
course there are new ideas with It..
That is always the case, else 1t woulds
scarcely take among the novelty-seek--
ers Just at the outset, however, the
only novel feature is in the shuttles,
which are elaborate In the extreme,
many of them being Of gold or silver
deliberately chased or engraved. The
practical individual, however, who
wants TO make tatting will infinitely
prefer the old-fashioned, hard-rubber
shuttle, which 10 as smooth as glass,
and has no catchy points or obstrus-
tions on which the threads are likely 70
be caught. Some pretty edgings have
been made by the use Of torchon or
other heavy lace as foundation, the
tatting edge being applied to them.
Any expert in tatting can readily SEQ
how this can be done. Many edgings.
have little points, and through these
tho thread from the shuttle is drawn
as the work proceeds. For an occupa-
ton to kill time tatting has its uses,
but as a practical sort Of work it will
scarcely DO likely to attract the atten-
ton Of industrious people.-N. Y.

Texas Women.

The women of Texas are slow In TAX.
ing up fads. They are not up to their
sisters of Kansas in any of the new
tangled fashions You can travel in
Texas, the best portion of it, for week
and never see dress or q bonnet or n
hat that reminds you Of anything you
ever saw in a fashion plate. Some OF
the women are we'll dressed, it must be
admitted, so far as the material is con-
cerned, but there Is nc such thing about
them as our women in the north call
style. Their gowns are severely plain.
In the north woman in crossing wet
street-crossing deity raises the hem OF
her garment from the rear, and thus
avoids the slush. The Texas woman
grabs her skirts by the sides and lifts
them in the way her great-grandmother
did. There is another thing about q
Texas woman that is noticeable. She
never wears glasses 1t is not meant,
of course, that no woman in Texas
wears glasses, but the exceptions are
rare. In the north, even in Kansas,
which is made up of northern people,
one cannot travel mile without see
ing more women with glasses than
those who do not wear them. The
Texas women have no literary look in
this respect. Perhaps it lie just as well
