Good for Odette Tyler's spirit How
ard Gould's family put detectives to hunt
ing up her antecedents; she regarded the
proceeding as an imputation upon herself
or her family, and kicked" the young
man sky-high. That is about what any
spirited girl, who was not gold-seeker
would have done, Now, if Mr. Howard
Gould is any sort of young man worth
marrying, he will make humble apologies
for his family's extreme and very pecu-
liar cautiousness and lay more violent
siege than ever to the lady's heart.

Several well-known society women in
New York have organized a counter
movement to the one in favor of having
the right Of suffrage extended to women,
and will present to the forthcoming state
constitutional convention a petition ask
ing that woman suffrage amendment be
not adopted. The two sets of women
who are busying themselves over this
matter are now enjoying a foretaste of
politics. But they probably never thought
of it that way.

And pause half way between a stitch,
And sorter sigh. and say that she

And so the years went one by one,
An somehow she was never done.

Are the Eads Jetties a Failure P

The report of the captain of a Norwe-
gian vessel that he found recently only
nine fathoms of water, ten miles off the
mouth of South Pass, which is the en-
trance to the Mississippi river, where the
chart calls for one hundred fathoms
causes uneasiness at the war department
and in commercial circles AS is well
known, the mouth of the Mississippi
river was opened to deep draft vessels by
means of the Eads jetties. If what the
Norwegian captain says is true it will be
only little while before the ietties will
have to be extended many miles seward
The cost of such work would be very
great. The jetties would have to be ex-
tended however, because the commerce
of New Orleans is enormous, and is
steadily increasing That city must
have deep water to the sea at any cost.
When the jetties were projected the
question was raised as to whether or not
shoals would not form off the mouth of
South Pass, and the conclusion reached
by the expert engineers was that the lit
toral currents would scatter the silt over
a wide area, and thaJ it would be
many years, perhaps n hundred before
there would be any considerable shoaling
in the vicinity of the entrance
to South Pass. Were the engineers
mistaken? That is the question
that the report of the Norwegian captain
raises. Engineers will be sent at once to
the mouth of the Mississippi to find out
how much truth there is in the report.

Mexican Dollars in Our MINIS.

Nobody seems to have pointed out any
practical results that are expected to
follow the adoption of the Wolcott reso-
luton that passed the Senate Tuesday
providing for the coinage of Mexican dol
lars by our minis. According to the reso-
luton owners Of silver bullion in this
country or elsewhere will have the
privilege of having it coined into Mexican
dollars, they bearing the expense of coin
age and the seigniorage going to Mexico
If the resolution should be adopted by
congress there would have to be some
sort of an understanding with Mexico
But why should Mexico be willing
to have Mexican dollars coined in our
mints from silver produced in this coun-
try! 1t is thought that the seigniorage
will be an inducement to her to permit
Mexican dollars to be coined in Ameri-
can mints from American silver But
she gets the seigniorage from the coinage
in her own minis, and it would seem as
if she would prefer to coin all the Mexi-
can dollars she cares to have coined.
1t is probable that the silver producers
of this country think they can dispose of
the Mexican dollars in China and other
countries where silver is the standard of
value. If that is their purpose Mexico
may not be willing to assist them She
certainly will not unless it can be shown
that it is to her interest to do so. The
effect of largely increasing the amount of
Mexican dollars in circulation might be
to lessen the purchasing power of the
Mexican dollar. If that should be the
opinion of the Mexican government moth
ing would come of the Wolcott resolution.

Tie Tale of n Poor Prisoner Who Was

No nnecdotie recollections of Governor

when the others had finished, but never
met one myself who was the equal of an
old fellow who kept the county Jail In the
village where began practicing law. He
fed the conVicts SO well and housed them
so comfortably that they became greatly
attached to him and he could trust them
to go about at will HGnsed to hire them
out to the farmers in the ncighborhood
during the harvest season and turn an
honest penny for the 9axpayers in that
way. EARLY one morning, while / was
sweeping out my office, was approached
by one of the convicts.
