The game consists Of dropping

but went to Louisiana in 1852 and
later served in the Confederate army.
1t was during the last years of the
war that Miss Howard was born at
Biloxi. She was during large part
of her youth, a decided invalid, and
much of her early life was spent at
her fathers home on the Hudson in
New York. Her frail health pre-
vented her attendance at any OF the
famous colleges, but she was given
every educational advantage through
corps of goyernesses maintained
at the Northern home. This was
REINFORCED by travelling, and in
consequence Miss Howard is most
cosmopolitan. She has been to Eu-
rope half a dozen times, has Travelled
several times entirely over the United
States and has resided for whole sea-
sons in different representative sec
tions of it. Mr.. Howard usually
lived with his daughter at his New
York home, while Mrs. Howard re-
sided in New Orleans with the boys
1t was while trying to break in a
horse for his daughter to ride that
Mr.. Howard was thrown and killed
in 1887.
Since that time Miss Howard has
maintained her former mode of life,
has been constantly travelling and
has passed most Of her time in the
North, seldom spending more than a
month or two in New Orleans. BY
the death Of her father six years ago
Miss Howard inherited 800, 900.
This has been judiciously invested,
and has doubtless increased since,
Notwithstanding the large inroads
she has made on it in order to give
to charitable and public movements,
The lady's mother, her brothers,
Frank Il. and Harry t., and their
families reside in New Orleans, where
they are leading figures in society,
patrons especially of music and the
dispensers Of most lavish and elabor-
ate hospitality.

the difficulty that the people to the
south of us have been making fOl
themselves about the establishment

deed, this reported drowning Of SOC
troops from the transport that was
sunk is the most serious thing that
has happened since the revolution
commenced. 1t is the beginning OF
real war, the recent engagement in

IT is difficult at this distance to see
why Farmer Eddy, of Newtonvllle,
Mass, should be in the clutches OF
the law. On Halloween night Lot
tie Glnes and several other girls,
dressed in boys clothes, made night
hideous in the vicinity Of the Eddy
residence. The farmer sailed forth,
and, capturing Miss Glines, took her
across his knee, and then and there
gave her a good old Massachusetts
spanking. She has had him arrested,
Mr.. Eddy claims In his deferse that
he thought Lottie was boy, but
why should defense be necessary?
When Lottie took off her pettcoats
and donued trousers she waived her
rights to the consideration usually
accorded her sex. She put herself on
the level of the horrid boys. She
went out to have fun. Incidentally,
she got spanked. She deserved it.
Eddy was right, and he ought to be
triumphantly acquitted.

THE British purists are demanding
government aid in stamping out the
social evil in India. 1t would be
much more to the point If these re-
formers would get to work right at
home in London, and still more so If
they'd begin by reforming the Prince
of Wales and a few members of the
peerage. Worse evils exist in Bel
gravia than are dreamt of in Bombay.

IT is not always advisable for the
able editor to give his readers an op-
portunity to express their opinion Of
him freely and anonymously. So
long as he delivers his utterances ex
cathedral and allows no one to talk
back, he is moderately safe, but once
let him invite criticism and he is
likely to moderate his self-esteem.
The able editor of Ell Mercurio, of
Merida, Yucatan, has discovered this
fact. In imitation of the American
papers he started a series Of coupon
voting contests. He worked up en-
thusiasm over "the prettiest young
lady in town." Then he had every
one voting for "the most popular po-
liceman"-if there are any policemen
In Merida. Next he gave prize for
"the favorite storekeeper, and, hav-
ing run the whole gamut, he offered
a leather medal for the meanest and
ugliest man In town. The result was
startling. Papers sold like hot cakes,
and when the returns came in 1t was
found that the choice had fallen
unanimously upon the editor of Ell
Mercurio. That gentleman, 1t is I'M
derstood, now denounces the voting
contest as miserable gringo device,
and he will in future rely upon the
full accounts of the daily revolutions
printed in lei Mercurio to boom the
circulation of that valuable naner.
