Dramatic Plans of the Elder and Younger
Dumas That AIiscarried.
A curious and interesting bit of cor
respondence between Alexandra Dumas,
father, and Alexandra Dumas, son, has
been published in Paris by Georges
Boyer, showing the two eminent French
men had planned to write theatrical
piece together. Unfortunately the plan
was not carried out, and the literary
world was deprived maybe Of brilliant
production. The letters read as follows:
PARIS, Oct. Z, 1896.
Alexandra Dumas, father, to Alexandra Du-
mas, son;
DEAR MAsrER-After 30 years of struggle,
defeats and victories, of failures and sue
cesses, believe that, If not a great celebrity,
| have at least the reputation OF being q
fruitful novelist. Only yesterday received
from Victor Hugo, in Guernsey, a letter full
of encouragement and congratulations. have
the honor to belong to the Society OF Authors
and the Society of Dramatists. My modest
claims to the first are: Here follows a list OF
his most successful works.) Now, beg, dear
master, the honor of writing with you drama
In five acts, the ideas for which l shall dis
cuss with you at our first meeting. The ideas
are. believe in accordance with the tastes of
the day. VIII you agree9
ALEXANDRA DUMAS, Father.
The reply of the son was:
Alexandra Dumas, son, to Alexander Dumas,
father;
DEAR MASTER Your letter came to the cor
rect address The friendship, the love, the re-
spect, the admiration which l have for my
father make it my duty and pleasure to &C
cept blindly your amiable offer. Be 1t so,
therefore, we shall work together on some
piece In five acts. To work with you, let me
saw. between us, win be no bad piece of bust
ness FOR me. ALEXANDRIA DUMAS, Son.

DEAD ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE.

Dead on the field Of battle. Still we seek
Remembrance here when we have gone
from here.
Oh, may our latest deed ourselves bespeak
And breathe about the world our wonted
cheer.
Dead on the field Of battle. Heaven send
If trust was given US we keep that trust.
If brave, we may be brave unto the end,
So valor shall be kindled from our dust.
On some still morn, at calling of the roll,
When storm and stress for me are well
gone by,
Amid the silence may some eomrade soul
Dead on the field of battle" then reply.

Whatever the Democrats think Of

other, however much they may diff
fer as to details, they are united ev-

throw of the bill now become law
after two years of the unhappiest I'M
certainty. We are promised two years
more unless the house be wrested from
the grasp of these men and the hands Of
Mills and Wilson, of Cochran, johnson
and the president are staid. But the
American people will take care of that,
not Republicans alone, but honest, SEN
sible people of all parties and of all
faiths
One year and quarter of such gov
eminent will suffice for half century.
Men begin to see now that the prosper
ity of this country was not a matter of
course, a thing which happened of it
self, but was the result of sensible meas
ures, of a sound system and wise fore
cast. However short the Republican
party may have come of perfection, it
governed, on the whole, wisely and
well, and we shall soon see its like
again. THOMAS B. REED.

And now they have gone, this senate
and house of representatives, gone, with
only three months more of unhappy life
left in them. What are we to say? One
year Of almost continuous session, and
what have they done, and how have
they done it? The Republicans cannot
use the language of reproaoh, Of inveot-
i've or abuse. The whole vocabulary has
been exhausted by themselves speaking
of themselves. We cannot hope to equal,
in commenting on the senate, the tremen-
dous and effective words Of the presi-
dent of their own choice. If we were to
search the whole dictionary of diatribe,
we could not equal the charge Of par
ty perf1dy and party dishonor" made by
the president against the senate and re-
ceived by the house of representatives,
with it's 100 Democratic majority, with
cheers and applause.
Condemned Themselves.
If we were to comment upon the pres
ident and his action, we could not use
language half so damaging as Democrat
ic senators used in open senate with up
lifted hands, asseverating the truth of
personal betrayal and personal bad
faith. If we were to comment upon the
house of representatives and its leaders,
we should be deemed guilty of gross
craftsmanship if we used even their own
words in describing their own actions.

to be in, to be obliged in common de-
cenoy to use softer words about his enc

obviously cannot use any language of

Mr.. H. H. Swearingen Of the Treasury

lister Of the Swearingen family, which has
In many directions made some mark in
American history. This publication brings
out fact that has hitherto not been well
known-that the famous Shawnee Indian
chief Blue Jacket, was a white mana
member Of this family. Mr.. Swearingen
states that his famous ancestors name
was Marmaduke. and was captured by the
Indians In western Pennsylvania, whore
his family was then living. He was ac-
companied by younger brother. but upon
his agreeing to go with the Indians and
live with them they allowed the brother to
return home.
His famous name was given him from
the fact that he wore a blue blouse at the
time Of his capture. He became so popular
with the Indians that at the age Of twenty
FIVE years he was made chief Of his tribe
In the battle OF st. Glars defeat Blue
Jacket was one Of the leaders among the
Indians, and IT IL curious fact that

were Representatives in Congress. Five

The compiler himself Is not without an
interesting history. After the civil war his
father, who had fought for the south, he
came a republican. and the son followed
this faith. In 1881 he was appointed as a
republican to clerkship in this city. Dur
ing his incumbency his sentiments changed

In 1885 he had developed into q democrat
Notwithstanding this fact, he was dis
missed by the new administration and re-
turned to Atlanta, Ga. Three months later
he received an appointment to clerllship
at larger salary than before, through a
competitive examination. When the repub-
licans returned to power in 1889 his dis
missal as a democrat followed. He re-
turned to Georgia, took another examina-
ton, and for the third time was appointed
to clerkship In his memoirs he states
that he fully expects to be decapitated
with the next change Of power. and as sure
ly expects another appointment through
the civil service commission.

Returning Travellers Like to See Their

From the New York Times.
Among the crowd of persons gathered on

friends homeward bound on the Teutonic

ono of whom carried q small American
flag. As the big vessel slowly swung in
from nlidstream, bringing at last the faces
Of the passengers who leaned expectantly
over her deck rail into recognizable view,
these flags were raised and waved. In the
flutter of many handkerchiefs streaming
to the breeze they were marked objects.
and as such quickly attracted the atten-
ton Of the friends aboard, which was the
aim, evidently, Of those who carried them.
Until one has tried to pick out from a high
deck a friends face in the framing of
unfamiliar bonnet or hat among a hundred
upturned countenances the difficulty of
the undertaking is not understood.

way, especially appreciate the presence of

OPENING SALOONS SUNDAY.
The Question Being Discussed in New
York City.

York City.
The question of the Sunday opening of
saloons has been prominent one in New
York city, and the Herald has undertaken
to ascertain the will Of the people by a
popular vote, ballots being clipped from the
Herald's news columns
Street Commissioner William s. Andrews
was formerly a member Of the board OF
excise and has taken much interest in ex-
else matters. He has written great deal
on the subject and has made many ad-
dresses thereon.
1--WE are living in a city which contains a
population of four or five hundred thousand
persons to whose comfort the use of beer
with meals Is just as necessary as the use
of bread. Where some Of US drink tea and
coffee those persons drink beer. 1t Is pres
ent on their dinner tables and on their
supper tables, and in order to be palatable
1t must be fresh Any law that may be
made or any attempt that may be made to
prevent those persons from sending their
children, for they have no servants, to the
beer saloon to got a pitcher Of fresh beer
for dinner or supper must necessarily De
imperative"
Charles Stewart Smith, ex-president OF
the chamber Of commerce. said:
II am in favor Of legislation which will
permit lager beer saloons to be open on
Sundays from, say 1 O'Clock in the after
noon to IL o'clock at night. The laborins
classes will thereby, to some extent, have
the same privileges which&he richer classes
now enjoy in their clubs. If the privilege is
not extended to the poorer classes OF hav-
ing at least certain hours on Sunday set
apart in which they can obtain lager beer,
then l am in favor Of closing clubs patron
ICED by those who are in better circum-
stances"
The Rev. DR.. Charles H. Eaton, rector Of
the Church Of the Divine Paternity, Is
strongly opposed to legalizing the opening
Of saloons for any length of time on Sun
day.
II con see no necessity for allowing sa-
looms to remain open during certain hours
on Sunday" he said. 1T Is in the In
teresr of worlxlngmen to keep the saloons
closed instead Of opening them. Sunday Is
a day on which workingmen should rest
after toiling hard all week. and that rest
they certainly cannot obtain In saloons.
They can get all the beer they require on
week days"
The Rev DR.. John A. B. Wilson, pastor
of the Eighteenth Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church. takes this stand:
shall the liquor men receive the author
ity of law for doing the very things which,
in violation Of law, they have been protect
ed in by the officers Of the city govern
ment?
'They have paid the police for immunity
in violating the law. Now shall the good
government people reward them for their
aid in helping to break the power of Tam
many Hall by the damnable bride of legaliz-
Ing their outrages of the Sabbath and Of
ali good citizenship by all night openings?

Use and Abuse of TOOthpicks.

From the Lancet.
The toothpick, judiciously used, Is Of I'M
doubted value. OF the materials used as
toothpicks the best is the quill. with the
sharp point removed. but with this, as with
all other forms, care must be observed. By
indiscriminate application the gums may
be so irritated and injured as to cause re-
cession, and thus increase the existing
trouble, or Inflammation Of the tooth men,
brane may be caused, most annoying
condition and one in which the still more
vigorous use Of the toothpick gives tempo
Iary relief only in reality to add fuel to
the fire. Metal toothpicks are good because
blunt pointed, but are too thick to pass be-
tween teeth at all close together. Wood
need only be mentioned to be condemned.
for 1t is a by no means uncommon occur
renee for small fibers to become detached
and jammed between the socket and tooth,
leading to chronic periostitis and even loss
