WRITER OF EIGHTY NOVELS.

1t is doubtful if the world will ever
Of Mrs. +. ID. +. y. Southworth.
Not that her creative and fertile
brain lacks the strong vitality OF in
vention and theme, but when IA record
of eighty novels is considered, the
browning honor of seventy-four years
gives right to claim rest and respite.
Mrs. Southworth, says the Washing
ton Post, passed her seventy-fourth
birthday quietly at her charming
home, Prospect Cottage, in George
town, on the twenty-sixth Of Decem-
Der, and to the congratulations of her
loving friends can add a return of
better health than has been hers for
the past two years. There, attended
by her son, DR.. Southworth, and his
charming wife, the venerable novelist
lives out her pleasant days, with
miles Of the bright Potomac at her
feet, and IA daily picture, which no
human hand can equal, of the golden
sun setting behind the gray Virginia
hills. 1t is a home i'm which she
lives-no room which does not bear
the clear wrought signs Of daily life,
no window from whose clear eyes
some human eye does not daily gaze.
For the first time in two years Mrs.
Southworth consented to greet an
interviewer. A strong. pure face
presents itself. The placid brow
shows more the lines OF thought than
those OF age. The face still preserves
the contours which mark the por-
when from her pen two long and
powerful novels flowed yearly. No
n can question Mrs. Southworth's
literary ability. Her novels bore
strongly the impress Of a period Of
romanticism. The higher standards
Of literary criticism have brought a
deeper ideal OF character study, but
for the million and not for the thou
sand did Mrs. Southworth write.
Hers were the novels Of their need
and ideals. 1t is doubtful If there is
to-day a living writer OF novels whose
works have been read by as many
people as hers, no, not even except
ing lola. Mrs. Southworth has
never written "a line which offends
the eye Of purity. Eighty novels,
not n Of them dull or hackneyed,
not n Of them without special merit
Of ingenious plot and circumstance,
dramatic in intensity, and many Of
them so true to the life which they
portray "a TO receive the value Of
historical novels, so thinly disguised
are the people whose lives are in
wrought. No other writer has more
truly written Of certain types Of
Southern life, where women were and
are romantic, and where men were
and are chivalrous, brave and inn
petuous.

The cocoanut-tree furnishes the
South Sea Islanders with almost
everything they want. They eat the
meat and drink the oil. From the
shells they make all their bowls and
dishes and drinking cups. Its leaves
are used for matching the roofs Of
the houses and for umbrellas to
shelter them from the sun and rain.
The wood of the tree makes very
strong beams and logs for burning,
and the milk OF the cocoanut is given
to young children TO quench their
thirst. The cocoanut-tree can not

ALEXANDRA AS A xEEDLEwoMAN.

The Princess Of Wales must have
more accomplishments Of the tradi-
tional feminine order than other
women in the United Kingdom if all
the pretty incidents are true that one
reads Of her. Perhaps the latest is
that Of "a call the gentle daughter Of
the Danes made on an old protege Of
hers living in one Of the cottages at
Sandringham. The good dame was
knitting a stocking, and the Princess
took il out OF her hand. saying
you can't do the heel "a fast as /
can" And as she sat and chatted
this Queen-to-be knitted the nattiest
heel possible. 1t is needless to say
that sacred stocking has since re-
manned in statu quo and treasured in
a drawer with the needles just as the
Princess left them. Particularly
since her sons death, the Princess
has seemed to enjoy herself best when
quietly occupied in some Of the
womanly arts she learned to turn her
hand TO in her girlhood days, when
she fashioned her own gowns and
trimmed her own bOnnets. 70 say

UNCLE SAM NEEDS MONEY.
CONGRESS- MUST REPLENiSH THE BIG
CASH BOX
BY PASSING A RELIEF MEASURE
Unless Prompt Action Is Taken
Secretary Carlisle Will Issue
Bonds Under Existing Laws
Secretary OF the Treasury
Makes Report Showing the
Condition Of Our Finances.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. - Secretary
Carlisle has written letter to Senator
Voorhees, in which he makes state
ment of the condition of the treasury,
aud of the necessity for measures being
taken for it's relief. He says that the
time of the house has been assigned to
the tariff bill until the Goth inst, and
for this reason he appeals to the senator
to take the initiative in a measure to re-
plenish the treasury. He adds that if
prompt action is not taken by congress.
it will be necessary to issue bonds under
existing laws.
The following letter was forwarded
by Secretary Carlisle to Senator Voor-
hees, chairman of the finance committee
of the senate:
Treasury Department, Office of the
Secretary, Washington, Jan. l5.-Hon
d. w. Voorhees,, Chairman Committee
OH Finance, United States Senate -
Dear Sir: In compliance with your
verbal request, | have the honor to sIb-
nit for the consideration Of the finance
committee of the senate statements
showing the actual condition of the
treasury on the 18th day of the present
month. and an estimate of the receipts
and expenditures during the remainder
of this month and the month OF Febru-
ary. 1t will be seen from this statement
that there is an urgent necessity for
such immediate action as will repleniSh
the coin reserve and enable this de-
partment to continue the payment of
public expenses and discharge the obli-
cations of the government to pensioners
and other lawful creditors.
When my annual report was prepared
1t was estimated that the expenses dur
ing the current fiscal year would exceed
the receipts to the amount Of about
S2S. 10000 and l asked congress for
authority to issue and sell bonds or other
forms of obligation to an amount not
exceeding s50.000,00Q, bearing low rate
of interest, and having a reasonably
short time to run, to enable the secre-
tary of the treasury to supply such de-
ficiencles as might occur in the rev.
enues. The estimate then made was
based upon the assumption that the
worst effects of our financial disturb
anceS had already been realized, and
there would be substantial increase in
the revenues for the remainder of the
year. While it was not believed that the
deficiency then existing would be sup
piled by increased revenues i'll the
future, it was hoped that no additional
deficiency would occur, bat the receipts
and expenditures during the month of
December and up to the 18th day of the
present month show that the estimate
of deficiency of S2S, S,000,000 at the
close of the year was much too low.
The actual receipts and expenditures
during each month OF the year and the
monthly deficiencies have been as fol-
lows.

swindle was this afternoon unearthed

Martin, of Denver, with obtaining goods
valued at $1,000 under false pretenses.
Dr.. Lafeyth says he was introduced to a
man named J. M. Wiley i'll October last.
Wiley introduced him to Martin, stating
Martin was wealthy. Martin offered to
trade 1,665 acres in Archer county,
Texas. for anything good. Lafeyth had
a stock on hand invoiced at S1l, 900 he
wanted to dispose OF. LafeYth says
Wiley and Martin, in room at the
Midland hotel, agreed to transfer the
notions and l, 16O acres of Missouri land

he found the notes were worthless, he
began inquiry about the land, discover

very fairly in trying to solve the prob

REPUBLICAN SCHEME.
They Want to Be Recognized in
Making Tariff Amendments.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Messrs. Reed,
Burrows, Dalzell, Payne and Hopkins,
the Republican members of the ways
and means committee. held a hasty con-
ference today, and agreed on making a
5demand for the recognition of kepubli-
can amendments to the Wilson bill.
This action was due to the report tn at
Representative Richardson. of Tennes-
see, who will be in the chair during the
consideration of amendments, would
recognize only Mr.. Wilson for his COM
mittee amendments. The plan agreed
upon by the Republican leaders was
that. Immediately after Wilson's first
amendments on tobacco are disposed
of, Mr.. Burrows will insist that Mr..
Wilson has no more right than any
other member of the house. He will
urge that Mr.. Wilson is not acting by
authority of the full ways and means
committee, and the Democratic amend
ments have not been submitted to the
Republican members of the committee.
