SENATOR VOORHEES, is getting heavy mail these days, and not few of his letters contain requests for hearings on the tariff before the senate finance com mittec of which he is chairman. None of these letters have been specifically an- swered, because he believes that circular letter which he is now having sent out, containing thirty odd printed questions and requesting a reply to each, will enable ninetenths of his correspondents to lay before the committee all the information in their possession relating to the effects of tariff upon their business just as we'll as they could if given personal hearing. It is not his desire to cut any one out of a hearing and those desiring to furnish in- formation not embraced by the printed questions will where their prominence as manufacturers or business men justifes it, be given personal hearings.

THE ANARCHIST.

France has decided to prosecute all incite- ments to commit dynamite outrages and all glorifcations of crimes. This will leave the anarchists nothing to do but drink.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.
 The French Government has at last aroused itself to the fact that anarchy must be grappled with and throttled before it be- comes strong enough to throttle the repub- lic.-Kansas City Journal
 France appears to be in earnest this time in it's decision to repress the preaching and practice of anarchy within it's jurisdiction. If other countries will only take common measures against anarchistic outbreaks bomb outrages would become much less frequent.-Omaha Bee.
 This new and drastic legislation in France against the anarchists cannot be completely effective unless other nations take the same course. If those French conspirators be en- abled to transfer their field of operations to Germany. Italy and England, France,s cru sade against them will not be altogether successful.-St. Louis Globe DemocFat,

 It proves that there is fascination about the expression of opinion through the press, which makes many an editor almost content with meager salary, while those who are far beyond the ac- tual need of such employment are tempt ed to engage in it instead of polo, golf and other means of obtaining liveli hood.
 The Pail Mall Magazine is already successful, asld with the beginning of the year will cease to receive four foot wood on subscriptions. II would not mind taking it." said MT. Astor, but here along Charing Cross I cannot get room for storing my wood, and the po- lice will not allow me to obstruct the sidewalk. Old subscribers who are away behind on the books, say from to 80 years, can slide a few loads of hay around to my stables at home, but l will not go out and help mow it away in the barn any more. I've done that for the last time."
 Seriously, I,Ir. Astor is a picture of pluck, health and courage, and those who think he does not write for his own publications are mistaken, for he showed me the manuscript at which he had been working and kindly asked my opinion of it. MT. Astor has not allow ed his possessions to make dignified ass of him, and there is a snap to his eye that shows good health of mind and body, together with sense of humor which is generally Gods most kindly gift to the poor.

 Into the opening thus formed was shirred a capacious bag or pocket, wires being stretched across the two open ends for holding the frame in place and serv- ing as a foundation for the shirrings of the pocket-the materials being figured india silk in dull old rose shades, with 8 lining of old rose satin.
 The wooden framework is painted white with enamel paint, and 8 square board, painted in the same way, with gilt lines for decoration, is made to set over the pocket, resting on tho frame work, thus making table of it and hid ing from sight the work in the pocket.
 It makes l handsome piece of furni- ture for lady's use and is as service able as it is pretty. Quick witted women need hardly be told that this convenient affair may be made less delicate and therefore better adapted for the wear and tear of the ordinary sitting room by making the pocket of darker colored ma terial and painting or staining the wooden fraSlework cherry or mahog- any hue. Indeed, ingenious women will doubtless add to and improve upon this model, which is suggestive of a variety of styles made on the same principle.

 My literary habits, I presume, are different from any other of the great authors who have gone before me. A week ago 1 tried the Dickens course, which consisted in walking as far as the dry land of England extended and back before breakfast; then eating enough for two men and working till luncheon; then eating enough for four Iuen, reading what the press said of mo and s:pping a churnful of gin and wa ter; then walking through inc slums and coming home with keen appetite, ordering dinner for thrashing crew and eating it myself; then writing seven or eight chapters of choice liter ature; then after jerking the children out of bed for a romp and returning them, taking bath and "a nightcap' which for size might easily be mistaken for each other hopping nimbly into bed before the "booggy man" gets a chance at oneS pink toes and sleeping melodi- ously till dawn.
 I've tried that one day only. I can- not repeat 1t.
 Now l lise gently, look out of the window, gaze in my mirror, which still tells me that I am strangely beautiful, put my teeth in a beautiful cut glass bouquet holder with fresh rose water in it and then go back to bed again.
 By that time blizzard and snow storm of calling cards begin to float up the broad onyx stairway. I tell my lack ey, Clarence, to stand the callers up around the reception room and issue numbers to thenl as they do at big barber shop.
 Then I dress without the aid of my maid, who was objected to and dis charged by my grandparents, from whom I inherit a Christian spirit and cranberry marsh in Wisconsin.

OUR POETS.
Powerful Words and Noble
 Thoughts.
How Closely Arc they Related to Our
 Daily Lives.
What One of Our Foremost Ladies Think
 About It.

Henry W. Longfellow has said in one of his most popular poems that "Al things come round to him who will but wait.
 How true it certainly is that if we have but the patience to wait and struggle for that which we so much desire, the prize will surely be ours. It is not enough, however, to sit quietly down and remain inert, but if we would accomplish great results we must possess untiring persever- ance.,
 At least one person appreciates the full significance of the great mans words. Miss S. Cohen of 554 South 9th street, Camden, N. J., has for months been wait ing longing and striving to regain that health without which life is at best but a dreary existence.
 She has been constantly treating with different remedies and physicians, but never once lost courage, for she had made up her mind that there was n remedy which would cure her and was determined to find it. She succeeded so well and is so filled with gratitude and thankfulness that she wished the whole world could know of her wonderful cure.
 The following is a letter written by her for the public benefit:

New Materials For Mourning.

There are many new materials that can be used for mourning, such ast ,right reversible satin, with satin on one side and cord on the other. All the large patterned moires are useful, especially when trimmed with jet, and the soufflet mohairs, which are woven to resemble bubbles, stand up in bold relief. Some of the fine reps have been brought out in new guise. But mourning, to be in good taste, cannot be too simple and de- void of ornament. Heavy crapes, which are expensive, are frequently tortured into all kinds of shapes of plaitings and ruchings, which are decidedly in bad taste.

 London has changed good deal since all the travelling done was by the pill grims or crusaders.

Criticism of "Cymbeline."
