Such encouraging words as fell
from the lips or Sir Robert Peel touching
the mutual interests of America and
England. and their cooperation for the
future of the world of mankind, are
very encouraging. They are the words
Of an inspired and far-seeing statesman.
They mean that Canada must inevitably
become a part of the American union,
and that England can only hope to
maintain her world wide possessions
through the sympathy and probably by
the worlds great republic.

Washington City is full of Democrats,
from the north and south, from the east
md west, awaiting the advent of the
man Of Destiny, who, having run three
times for the presidency and not having
made up his mind as TO his fourth effort,
is uncertain, when it comes to the ques-
ton of political pap, whether he will
follow the decent example of Harrison
or otherwise. Nothing like it was ever
seen in the history Of the country, but
the chances are that month hence will
see the number of the hungry doubled.

DO KANSAS WOMEN WANT TO
VOIEP

The January number Of the Agora,
the Kansas magazine published at To-
peka by Crane & Co., and edited by T.
E. Dewey, is now being issued, and the
table of contents seems the strongest yet
presented. The fronispiece is portrait
Of Hon. E. F. Ware, the Kansas laureate
and lawyer, followed by some Of his
verses Mesdames Johns, Moore, Lease.
Ware, Carruth, Todd, Grub, BellevilIe.
Brown, Humphrey and Brown tell
whether or not Kansas women want to
vote. This Kansas magazine for the
current month is really interesting. As
for the ten papers by ten Kansas women
on the question do Kansas Women
Want to Voter" the writers known in
the state as pestiferous political females,
all answer at gereater or less
lengths, yes; and the womanly
ones say emphatically that a
majority of them do not. Mrs. Mary A.
Humphrey closes her article with these
bright words:
Standing thus at the helm, with so
much power for good or i'll, it becomes
her most imperative duty to read, to
study, to think, to converse and to con-
vince, leaving the political arena. as she
leaves the rougher work of life and the
battlefield, to men,"
But the Populist party, being run by
male and female cranks, Adventures
and demagogues, the question of
'female suffrage" will again be sub
mitted to the people of Kansas, and for
months TO come the MoIlie Leases, Anna
Diggs, ct al.willsturn themselves loose to
vex and to disgust.

tion to inquire Of one OF New York's
most fashionable milliners if the reign
ing decorations for women's head cover
ing during the winter would be feline
caudal appendages.
The lady, without giving any indica-
ton Of surprise, replied in 10 affirma-
tive. She said that in Lond and Paris
the demand for cats tails to be used for
ornamental purposes is spreading to an
alarming extent, Most Of the recent
importations Of bonnets have cats tail
or two in variegated colors attached in
some conspicuous place. 1t therefore
behooves the native feline to do less
rueandering after nightfall. With 0
commercial value placed upon each tail
the small boy will be actuated by a more
commendable motive than amusement
in disposing of the purring feline. New

That the german should be SO universal
ly popular is not surprising, for it is de-
cidedly the most varied of all parlor
dances, combining quadrille figures with
the fascination Of the waltz deux temps
Its capabilities for grace are large, though
not often carried out Indeed, the utter
want of this element, particularly among
men, is painfully observable, yet Ameri-
cans enjoy European reputation for the
excellence of their dancing.
Compared with Englishmen, who are
the most awkward of their sex, they are
(auns; yet there is scarcely a more ungain-
ly sight than man in dress suit, spin
ming around like a teetotum, frantically
dragging mass of tulle about with him,
apparently trying to get from one end of
the room to the other by the most circui-
tous route, and bringing up suddenly
against wall or man with another mass
Of tulle, both parties rather the worse for
the collision, painting as though they had
the hydrophobia, and red enough in the
face to be victims of apoplexy The long
strides men take in the galop are quite

very like that taken by frogs plunging into
water. They seem vainly trying to "dou-
BILE" the expanse of drapery which clings
to them so fondly.
As dancing is prosecuted, there should
be no spectators, for to Them the scene is
certainly extraordinary. A delightful and
natural amusement is, in its present con
dition, shorn of charms. Are days of grace
never to return? Is the poetry OF motion

How refreshing it would be could the dig
nifed yet beautiful dances of Spain be

then be physically improved by his amuse,
ment, instead of becoming more awkward

Tho Revival of lhe Tea Gown.

There is evidence of a return to popu-
larity of the tea gown. So long
as the tea gown is confined to the
uses Of Its existence it is comfortable,
suitable and effective. When it aspires
TO the dignity Of dinner costume, how
ever, or descends TO the neglige of II
morning wrapper, it is Immediately out
of place; it Is too fine for the latter and
not formal enough for the former After
its introduction in London drawing
rooms few years ago as an easy toilet
between driving and dining, it soon
faunted its dainty fripperies on this side
the Atlantic.
On American soil it began under va
rious tlimsy disguises to assist at recep-
tions, drums and dinners. Everybody
had u tea gown, Four cent challie ones
were worn with curl papers in the tene-
ments and costly imported morsels actu-
ally graced q bathrooms.
Naturally the reaction came in due
time Last year the almost severely
simple close fitting gowns worn by host
esses and those assisting them on sat
home" days We're marked feature of
such functions. The tea gown was put
80 resolutely aside that it was not even
tolerated. Out Of this food and ebb,
however, we are to have tea gowns to
be used as such, but we are not to have
ten gowns in the combination role to be
worn at any time.-Her Point of View
in New York Times.

For over year there have been m
mors regarding the existence Of large
serpent at Lake Kenosha, three miles
west of Danbury, but every one who
heard the story received it with ia-
credulity. But the rumor grew in spite
Of skepticism, and the thoughtless were
forced finally to admit that perhaps there
was something in it.
Friday Edward NJ. Baldwin and George
Downs We're fishing in the lake Both
are elderly business men and opposed to
notoriety in every way. They were en-
gagged in hauling in fish, when suddenly
to the west of them huge head poked
itself out of the water and contemplated
the fishermen. This was thirty feet away
from their boat. One of the men said 1t
was not unlike the head of pug dog,
but dark brown or black in color. Both
the fishermen lost interest in their fish
ing and fastened their attention on the
serpent.
After viewing the fishermen for few
minutes the serpent moved toward them
some ten feet, and his entire body was
seen on the surface of the water. 1t
was from fifteen to twenty feet long and
moved slowly and easily, in the manner
of huge snake. 1t took second view
Of the fishermen for few seconds and
then dived.
The sight unnerved the fishermen at
first, but they resolved to get a nearer
look. They saw the serpent perhaps
half dozen times, but were unable to
secure closer inspection of it.
The story has been corroborated with
more particulars by John Clark, hotel
proprietor, Theodore Clark, the big box
manufacturer, and many others who
have seen the serpent. These men say
the serpent is as thick as a dogs body

Is it possible that women who know
how to clothe their babies and little chill
dren sensibly always keep them at home,
while those who haven't particle Of
sense in this matter insist upon parading
them in public placesS 1t often seems to
the Listener that this is the case. The
majority Of little children that one sees
upon the street are either overclad or
UNDERGRAD, Sometimes one meets the
two extremes close together. Saturday,
ut n railroad station, the Listener saw a
half way elderly woman, who looked as
il the possession Of child were new
thing to her, who had in her lap tiny
baby not more than two months old
The child was weighted down with a
flannel skirt deeply embroidered, a white
skirt heavily trimmed and tucked a
white dress with lace and tucls, all u
yard long or more, and over these long
cloak and cape, both embroidered.
The effect of the baby's tiny head,
about as big as an apple, projecting from
this great mass and length of draperies,
would have been irresistibly comical if
it had not been for the thought of the
suffocating burden that the poor infant
was under. Close by, in the lap of an
other woman, was the antithesis OF this
arrangement 1t was u baby in short
clothes scantily clad, with short stock
ings, and its bare legs were blue with
cold. There was no sign that it was in
sufficiently clad from poverty. In the last
few days the Listener has seen women
who wear fur capes leading little girls
dressed in thin white dresses. Boston

take place was known to the public.
Witness: First by the Malta in fixing

Sorosis is divided into opposing fac

fairs Of the club Sorosis was founded
MS an intellectual rather than u social Or
ganization, and the original members
see signs of decadence in the fact that
the married element has crept in and is
making its invidious influence felt. The
most marked expression of this is the re-
cent removal of the club from the ban
quoting hall at Delmonicos, which has
been gratuitously ut their service for
nearly a quarter of century to the
new Sherry ballroom, where each meet
ing will be held at an expense Of $l00
The factions meet at the coming bust
ness session upon the question of dou-
bling the entrance fee and the yearly
dues as well, The leaders of the literary
element, comprising the most valuable
women of the club, are opposed to the
new measure on the ground that money
shall not be made the test requisite of
membership, and that the increase in
fees will exclude the very women most
desirable and valuable rs members, as
