UNLESS the senate adopts a resolution calling for the facts, it is not probable that the people will ever know just how extravagant ex-Secretary of State Foster has been in taking his persona 1 favorites to Paris as attaches of him
 self, ostensibly as necessary for a proper presentation of our case before the Behring sea arbitration tribunal. Presl- dent Cleveland although much shocked at the facts when brought to his atten- tion by Secretary Gresham concluded that it was a matter in which our national honor, to say nothing of per sonal courtesy and friendship for his immediate predecessor in the white house, was too deeply involved to be made public at a time when an interna. tional court of arbitration is sitting to decide important questions in which this country is interested. Much of the money expended by Foster will never be accounted for, as it was taken from the secret fund, always at the disposal of the secretary of state. Although ex, Private Secretary Halford is one of the principal beneiciaries of Fosters lavish. ness, no one believes that Mir Harrison either knew of or sanctioned anything that was not perfectly right and proper Foster, as secretary of state, issued the
 orders that placed the money at his dis
 posal as United States agent.

 CLEVELAND. O., April 8.-A free love community has been brought to light near Wooster, by one of Wayne county women preachers, Rev. Mrs. Ellen Ann Olmsted She by her zeal brought out from number of her female parishioners the startling statement that they had been believers in and practiced the doctrine of free love-
 These statements the female preacher kept to herself until within the last few days, when they leaked out through a public confession by the former pastor, who is implicated. He made it after hearing a sermon by Mrs. Olmsted in the United Brethren church at Madisonburg four miles north of Wooster last Sunday even ing.
 The fact has since been brought out that . number of the we'll to do farmers resid- ing in the village and in Smithville have for years been believers in the doctrine of miscellaneous love, not only wives and hus- bands being implicated, but maiden wom- en, and in one case a daughter and hel mother

This is the time of year when one's blood is in a poor condition, when the nerves are weak, and when the liver, kidneys and bowels are torpid. One is not necessarily sick, but in the spring ol the year we are always more or less run down, and the blood needs invigorating the nerves strengthening, and the organs require something to start up healthy and natural action.
 The timely words of the we'll known Mir. David H. Heating of 1919 Pennsyl vania avenue, Baltimore, Md, should bt needed:
 "I was a bad sufferer from dyspepsis and indigestion, my blood was poor anG my nerves very weak, which affected my heart.
 ''I was in a bad way with these com plaints, and no one ever suffered more than I did. I tried most everything but nothing did me good until tool Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It is certainly a fine medicine and perfectly cured me-"

NEW YORK is fond of the southerner and peculiarly sensitive to the striking characteristics of southern speech. Men and women who come from the region barely south of Mason and Dixon's line are astonished to find themselves at once fixed upon as southerners. In many cases the peculiarity is so slight that those who detect it would be pug. zled to say just what it is. But il seems to appeal more subtly to the New York ear than the more marked char. acteristics of New England or western speech. N

A circular was recently sent out to each of the municipalities of the re- public by the secretary of promotion for the purpose of getting statistics on this important subject.

QUEER AID.

A New York Society Girl Wears a Differ
 ent Style of Hat Pins for Every Month.
 We are told of a rather original idea on the part of a society girl who frankly enjoys her little fad, says the New York Tribune. She has had made for her twelve pairs of bonnet pins, and she wears each set one month of the year. The stones are chosen to symbolize as nearly as possible the characteristics of the months. For January, pearls rep resent snow; rainy February has aqua marine; March has purple crocus-col- ored amethyst; April daffodil colored topaz; the young green of May is repre- sented by emeralds, and June roses by pink pearls; sunshiny July has dia- monds, and deep-blue sapphires repre- sept the summer seas and cloudless skies of August; September's early changes are represented by cats eyes; garnets typify October; the gray skies, cold looking red sunsets and wood fires of November arc shown by opals, while the glowing red fires of December, with their Christmas cheer, have the ruby as the emblem of the month. It is a pretty conceit, and like many another little oddity gives an expression to what might otherwise be commonplace.

HEARING that an attempt was to be made to rob train on the Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad on Sunday night, the authorities made up a dummy train, filled with armed police, and sent 1t out on the time of the regular train. The scheme worked. The rob- bers stopped the train, three entering the express car, while two stood guard with out, and one covered the engineer and fireman. The two outside guards were captured; the man on the engine ran away on hearing the firing, but was caught later. In the express car the robbers fought against arrest when surprised un- til two were killed, when the third sur, rendered. No policemen were hurt, tho the robbers had each two revolvers. The general manager and superintendent oi the road were in the fight.
