POSTAL LAW.
Il CRITICAL PERIOD.

Election day is approaching. Mcmi
nations for the various offices must lie
filed with the city auditor tomorrow
(Saturday) There is not Much apnar-
ent interest being taken in the matter.
yet we have no doubt but that there
Will be excitement enough aroused be
fore election day We feel that ihc
coming election is very important in
deed for Hot Springs III is IA very
critical period of Hot Springs eNistance
and the future Importance of our city
depends largely upon the course that
may be pursued by the city authorities.
Right in this line of Thought we find
in the Howard Press of last week an
article that is timely and to the point
which we reproduce, as directly appli.
cable to Hot Springs:
Greater Responsibilities will rest
upon the city council from this date
than ever before. Every citizen should
be thoroughly alive to the situation
and muster all the public spirit, all the
patriotism that he can command The
ocoasion demands that the very best
thought and energy he called into rc-
QUESTION. This Is no time to consult
our personal likes and disIkes. A
higher and nober motive should inn
pei each and every one of MS to act and
vote as our clearest, unprejudicea
Judgment dictates. The situation is
critical. A golden opportunity is at
hand. Whether we shall improve it
and prepare the way for prosperous
future in municipal affairs, or whether
we shall forever lose it, remains for
our citizens TO decide.
We believe there will be practically
but one sentiment among our people
when they stop to consider the imports

conservatism is next to extravaganza
i'll its baleful effects upon communi
ty. What is needed just now is pro
gressive, energetic. wide-awake men
at the helm. Snch men usually have
sufficient business of a private nature
to occnpy their entire time and they
have no de ire 10 assume responsible.
ties of Il public nature. But if they
are really desired there is "a way Of en-
listing them in just the kind of work
that now demands such men i'm this
city. by the exhibition Of energy and
progressive ideas new residents will be
attracted to our city as the county seat
of one of the very best Counties in the
state. Should we fail to do our duty
at this time we shall forfeit an oppor-
tunity that can never be recalled. Let
us unite in making our little city as
attractive as possible to capital, TO
labor and TO all good citizens who
manifest an inclination to come among
us. Let us legn to pull together
and begin right now

Mrs. Whitney's maiden name was Flora
Payne. She was a daughter of ex-senator
Henry Il. Payne, of Cleveland, O. In her
family she represents the best elements of
American life that life in which inherited
wealth and position play but little part and
whete individual merit is the standard of
It's excellence During Mrs. Whitney's girl
life she was brought into contact with many
persons prominent in the political world.
aud at her beautiful home in Cleveland
there were many gatherings OF men of ma
tional rcputc. so she was trained to the
position which came TO her IN after years.
Mrs. Whitney age i placed at ~. In ap-
pearance she was most distinguished. Her
form was well proportional. and her hair
was prematurely grey. IL was nearly white,
almost since girlhood, and added TO the at
tractiveness of her youthful face In man
ner she was very affable. exceedingly diplo-
matte and like her intimate friend, Mrs.
Cleveland, possessed tact To wonderful de-
gree.
Miss Flora Payne became Mrs. W. G..
Whitney more than score of years ago,
when her husband was fairly successful
lawyer, with but n modest income. Her
brother, Colonel Oliver Payne, OF the
Standard Oil Company, took great interest
i'm the match. and when the first baby came
he gave tue young mother n round million
dollars. Her brother also bought the present
h Whitney mansion at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Fity-seyenth street This
handsome home was suitably furnished
and is regarded us one of the show mansions
Of New York. Mrs. Whitncys position was
strengthened by the purchase OF cottage
at Newport and then came the crowning
feature. the appointment ot her husband 10
the portfolio OF the navy IN the Cabinet of
President Cleveland.
', .n,.ie so1 n h Nh Al Mrs. Whitaey has
been remarkably She was woman far
more cultured than the average who enter
tanned, yet read constantly to keep herself
in touch with the topics Of the day. She
believed in the higher education of women
with great and abiding faith in their abil-
ties and IN the future before them, Be
cause of this she wanted TO do her share in
the development of what she believed would
come and at her house struggling genius
found encouragement a. IL did no where
else. She was woman who thought with
ennobling ideas.and her greatest delight was
To surround herself with people who could
sympnthize with her and instruct her.
The list OF Mrs. Whitney's friends and
acqualriances wa1 wider, perhaps, than
that oi any other woman in New York
Her husbands position in Washington and
her own in this city gave n double measure
10 her visiting last. Of her most intimate
friends the Cleyeland's stand first.
