THE ADVOCATE We are still here and
living, that is all, and would be glad if you
would not slop any more of your winter over
upon us. We thought that by some means
we had been mysteriously transferred TO Mary.
land-just one continuous month Of cold
weather; but thanks to kindr Providence we
are thawed out, and trees are beginning to
bud forth. The peach and plum trees are in
full bloom; orange blossoms will be in order
in short while. The hickory trees are put
ting out buds. Possibly you we're not aware
that we had the hickory here, but any school,
boy can voueh for it.
We enjoyed flying visit of q couple Of
Westminster's business men last week, and
it would have done your eyes good to have
seen them take in the scenes Of our groves
trees draped with Spanish moss. | had the
pleasure of showing them around, and can
tell you do believe they would have been
sitting in the buggy even till now, gazing
upon some of the beautiful scenery, had |
not been continually reminding them Of the
fact that they had promised to be in West
minister by Sunday, February 9Th, and to top
it all off | carried them into natural orange
grove where the fruit had not been gathered.
They wanted to spend the balance Of the time
right there-but ask them the rest.
We are still trucking, and our village is
planting the largest crop ever setat this place.
Cabbage patches, ranging from few acres
to forty--iomatoes, and more of them, and
all such crops as beans, cukes, Irish potatoes,
beets and squashes. What would You think
Of ten acre squash patch. or cymblings.
Cabbage is now heading, and will be ready
for market by the first of next month, and a
man with a cabbage patch this season, at
mention Of same, smiles in proportion to the
size of his patch. They are held stiff at s.
per barrel E. 0. b. Beans are coming up
nicely and the acreage is large.
All our winter has passed, with scarcely
any damage to the orange trees. Some groves
did not lose a leaf, while you would now and
then lind neglected grove full Of sickly trees
that had been somewhat hurt.
Our village is growing-flur houses just
completed, and some of them would do credit
to Westminster the children of Mcintosh

guess we have as many more under school
age, and still they come. But the next Presi-

In the regular winter lecture course at
Western Maryland College, the lecture Of
Thursday evening last was by President Lewis,
on the Hawaiian Islands. The recent occur
rences there made the subject particularly
interesting and appropriate one, while Presi-
dent Lewis visit to these islands on his recent
tour around the world gave him good prepa-
ration ON the subject. He disclaimed at
the outset any intention Of making deliv-
elance upon the advisability of annexation
of these islands by the United States, but he
nevertheless showed very plainly that the
United States had much greater claims upon
them than any other country had. He gave
a vivid description of the location, size and
physical characteristics Of the islands, short
account oftheir history and graphic picture
Of the people as the American missionaries
found them and they are today, in the
midst Of the improvements of the T9th cen
tury civilization. A large audience from
town was very gratifying compliment TO the
lecturer

, The Michigan Decision.

The supreme court of the state OF
Michigan has decided unanimously that
the act of the legislature comforting mu-
nicipal suffrage on women is unconsti-
tutional The argument upon which
this decision is reached is that the quail
fications of electors must be uniform
throughout the state, and that wherever
the constitution has prescribed these
they cannot be added to or taken from
by the legislature AS the constitution
provides that only male citizens are en-
titled TO vote, the court holds that the
legislature does not contain power to
confer the elective franchise upon other
persons. This, it is maintained, can be
done only by an amendment to the con-
stitution itself.
This is the logic upon which congress
sional suffrage has been denied to wom-
en- when sought under like cover. There
Is no novelty In either the argument or
the conclusion reached by the supreme
court of Michigan. Courts have been
uniformly disposed to maintain that con-
stitutions are reexclusive-thatis is to say, the
federal government possesses no powers
except those which are distinctly and ex-
plicitly conveyed to it by the constitu-
ton agreed to in behalf of the states, and

The Popular Winter Furs.

The very darkest sealskin remains the
popular fur for coats and wraps. Very
often it is trimmed with contrasting
fur, but wise women in buying a new
coat elect that it shall be untrimmed the
first year, so that it may be freshened
the second by decoration. For mourn
ing wear black Persian lamb remains in
vogue and is essentially the mourning
fur, although as the seal is so dark it is
question of personal taste in electing its
use in conjunction with Grape.
Silver fox-that exquisite blush gray
fur-is noted on evening wraps, while
blue fox and red fox, which by the way
is yellow in color, are also chosen for
use when rather pronounced effect is
desired. In black furs the long haired
ones, like the black lynx and the black
fox, are given the preference. Gray
krimmer-that soft, curling fur which
many people improperly call gray astra-
khan-is occasionally seen, but somehow
Dame Fashion has dedicated it almost

bevy of Chicago beauties-most of them
debutantes of the season lately ended
the princess stood one night where lights
cleaned like noble opals in the parlors
Of a merchant prince. There was soft
music above, and society was whirling in
the dance. The smiling princess tapped
the carpet nervously, yearning to throw
off the iron fetters of the naval COM
mander near her person and whirl with
the dancers. The rigid laws of the Cas-
tilians denied her that delight, so she
beat tattoo on the carpet. A tiny silk
slipper peeping from the skirts of
Michigan avenue belle caught the prin-
cess eye.

butante pushed out small foot that
was arched high-proud to have pleased
the royal guest. The stern commander
had stepped for moment away from
the person of the princess.
Il like your slippers very much the
princess added. "Where can get some
like them?'
The debutante bowed her appreciation
of the compliment. Next morning, while
the princess slept, her maid brought to
the bedside bouquet of pale flowers, in
which pair of tiny slippers nestled.
The debutantes name? No. no! She
is one of the fairest flowers that have
lately come to bloom in the social world.

A LuckIeas Princess.

One of the most prominent and wealthy
princesses of Europe seems unable to
find an eligible parti. That princess is
Helene, the daughter of the Comte de
Orleans, one of the wealthiest prospec-
lively in Europe. This young lady is
hard to dispose of because she is ambi-
tious and wishes to be reigning queen,
like her sister Amelie, queen of Portu-
gal. At one time the Princess Helene
was desirous of becoming the wife of
"Collars and Cuffs" but the English
constitution provides that the wives of
royal princes must not be Roman Cath
olics, and as the pope forbade change
Of faith the princess stopped the nego-
tiations and Princess May became the
consort.
A like rule prevents any alliance with
a prince of the family of Alexander III
of Russia, so that unless the princess
sacrifices her ambition or waits some
years to let the royal princelings grow
up she will lag superfuously on the roy
al stage in these days of royal alliances.
