Maria.

Speaking Of servant girls" said Crane. the
actor, to friend who repeated it to the New
York Advertiser, I'VE had one up at Cohssset
last summer that simply took the bakery and
everything appertaining thereunto. She was
named Maria aud she came from the rampant
west with letter of recommendation from a
family of our acquaintance out there. They
said that she was honest and faithful, but a
little crude and needed training Imagining that
the latter fault could soon be remedied we engag-
ed her and appointed her to the then vacant
position of waitreSs-in-ordinary
ION the afternoon of her arrival gave a lit
tie dinner to few of my professional friends
and felt particularly anxious to have the affair
go off smoothly. With this end in view Maria
was put through alittle preliminary drilling be-
forehand in 1.-The course of which she managed

Then breathed her name softly, but in vain;
breathed it again, same result; and finally
reached for upper and called Maria " in tones
that ratified the plates

around the corner of the dining room door, and

Purpose of the Conference.

The purpose Of the conference of the pres
idents aud executive officers of state alli-
ances Of the southern states crops out in the
address which tie conference adopted, and
which was published in our dispatches yes
terdsy. The alliance was in danger Of 60
ing to pieces, owing TO the efforts that were
being made to use it for political purposes
and the disposition to bulldoze all alliance
men into supporting the Peoples party.
Indeed, the signs Of disiptsgration had al.
ready begun 20 appear. The alliance lead
era, those who derive the most benefit from
it, became alarmed, and they got together
for the purpose Of doing something 10 hold
the dissatisfied allianoemen in the ranks.
What they did doesn't amount to much.
The conclusion they reached, as stated in
the address. is that allisncemen may vote
with any political party they please without
ceasing to be good allisncemen, but that
thoy will not be true to their order If they
fail to uphold alliance principles at the bal
lot-box.
This means, of course, that alliancemen
should not support any party that does not
approve the Ocala demands. AS the only
party that Endorses those demands is the
Peoples party, the address is virtually
skillfully worded announcement that if al
liancemen want TO remain in good standing
with their order they must go to the bal
lot-box and cast their ballots for the Peo-
pies party candidates.
1t is quite evident that there are many
alliancemen in this state, and every other
southern state, who will abandon the alli-
ance before they will be bulldozed into leav-
ing the Democratic party. They will GER
tainly never give their support to the PEG.

value of gold and the greenbacks in which
they were paid-a plank that, if carried
into effect, would cost the country hundreds
of millions of dollars

keyhole was tri1e hard to find, but that par
ticular night latch always was rather agile
along towards midnight. When he got the
door open he hung his coat on the hatrack and
removed his shoes, aud, taking them in his hand,
walked quietly upstairs, so as not to awaken
Mrs. Jobson. He lighted the gas and disrobed
in as orderly manner as any sober man would.
Then he knelt down beside the bed and had Just
commenced his prayers when ripple of laugh
ter interrupted him. He glanced up and saw
his wife sitting up 10 bed laughing heartily. He
retained his position and began to demonstrate
with his hilarious consort.

He was kept a close prisoner on the tug for

country have no distinctive dress brought
him coarse food and babe him eat. All this
time the mysterious boat was speeding
toward some mysterious harbor, The harbor

Mr.. Quarterman returned home to tell of
DIS adventures. They are, truly. wonder

The Direct Trade Movement.

Col. Stovall and Col. Avery are very
much in earnest in their efforts to establish
direct trade between the south and Europe,
and they are confident they will succeed
They have certainly succeeded in arousing
a good deal of interest in Savannah in the
matter. They talked with the railroad
managers, the trade bodies and the city au-
thorities. and from everybody they received
the most gratifying encouragement and
promises of hearty cooperation. It is GER
tain that If Savannah's help is sufficient to
enable them to establish direct trade they
will succeed in their undertaking.
And, after all, why shouldn't the south
have direct trade with Europe1 1t is GER
tainly TO her interest to have it. There is
no good reason why the south and west
should pay tribute to New York on every.
thing that goes from this country to Eu-
rope or comes from Europe to this countr y.
Savannah. for instance, could easily De
made the southern port for direct trade be-
tween large section of the south and west
and Europa She could furnish outgoing
cargoes for line Of steamers to Europe all
the year round, that Is. with little help

and western territory tributary to her. such
line could be provided with return car
goes. -
At first thought the prospect for the es-
tablishment of direct trade between the
south and Europe does not look promising,
but as Col. Stovall and Col. Avery presents
the project it appears to be feasible. There
is no doubt that steamship line would be
established just as soon as there was reason
to believe it would be sustained. The thing
for the south and the west to do, therefore
is to get the railroads interested in this di-
rect trade movement, and arrive at an un

way Of freights. Success is In sight. All
that is needed to attain it is earnest and in

The cost of the great German army tor year
under its present conditions, is said by military
authorities TO be about $40, 100000. This is far
and away below the annual cost OF cur pensions.
We used to talk about the crushing burdens of
European military establishments, but our pen
sion system surpasses the army budget of Ger
many. a typical military country, and there is
the entire cost of our own army TO go on top of
that. Besides, we have not yet reached the
maximum of our pension expenditures, ever
under existing laws, as Commissioner Raum
shows, the possibility being that they will 90 as
high as Sl60, 900 900. Aud yet the making Of
new laws for still greater expenditures goes on,
the Senate having only recently passed bill to
add so per cent. to a whole class of pensions
The natural result of the pension business Is a
cheese pairing policy toward the little regular
army of to-day, every expenditure being closely
watched, whereas five or teu millions for some
new development in pensions is treated as quite
in the ordinary course Of human things.
