THE infamous charges made by Ida
Wells, the colored woman who is at pres
cut ia the north repeating the ISLANDERS
upon southern women that she poured
Gnto English ears, are too vile and vicious
to DO accepted by even the south-hating
republican newspapers. The New York
Press, which is always ready to accept
aay evil statement concerning the south
err people if it is based on even the most
ahadowy probability, has been moved to
protest against the woman's calumnles.

CorToN picking has begun in earnest
in Texas. There will be enough cotton
grown west of the Mississippi, this year,
taken in connection with the surplus
from last years crop, to supply the de-
mand. The cotton grown east of the
Mississippi will be about that much in
excess of the requirements of the facto-
ries. The price is going to be small.

IN the light of the campaign of two

being circulated about Judge Query, it
is refreshing to hear the Russell crew

are adopts in that line, and can give les
sons every day in the year.

last two years he went to a boarding
school in New Hampshire. Now,
in all his life he never saw me on
the stage. He knew that | was an
actress, but had an idea that | played
in tragedy or something serious.

theater and see me act. ! refused

my entrance on the stage one after
noon the first face my eyes fell up
on was my boys. There he sat,
pale, upright, with his eyes fixed
upon me in my burlesque costume.

covered myself by supreme effort.
For the first time in my life felt
