while driving home from oneida last
Friday said farmer who lives in the
extreme western part Of country, u saw
Z big cloud moving due north over the
fields ana woods. There wasn't any wind
blowing. the air Was stiit. and Ma
unable TO account for the presence of a
biz dark cloud speeding away across the
heavens on such still, brigh, day.
AT first / thought that IN was a cloud
OF smoke from the railroads, but then
when ] first saw il the cloud was I'm such
a position that IL could not possibly have
come from the West Shore Railroad, and
even il il had there never was Il could
Of smoke that hung so closely
As | sat i'm my wagon II appeared 10 me
60 hc a mile long and perhaps malt mue
wide, but, Of course, that part Of IL was
all speculation, TOR no one can make a
cloud The body III the sky was as dark
as the smoke from locomotive, and
looked TO be quite dense. IL trdN elird
quicker than any cloud ever ScuQGei be-
fore thunder shower in this section.
When IL first attracted attention ii was
high up in the heavens, but II rose ana
fell several times like the soaring of q
bird. once il was but few feet above
the top of some woods. Again II took an
upward course, and continued onward m
an answering north course. II was about
o'clock that the cloud passed.
THAT evening / noticed a number OF
reddish winged wood ants about on me
grass ana in the roads. II occurred 10 me
that the strange cloud in motion might
have been a cloud Of these flying ants.
The more / ponGered over the phenom-
enon the more ! became convinced that
it was q cloud Of ants that passed over
the country. Such story was too big
for me to tell, although there was proof
enough Of the fact for my mind, so
held my peace and simply spoke 10 my
family Of the strange cloud. Others had
seen II. too, vet none suspected what
il was. and we finally dismissed it.
"a day or two afterward was in Con
sta,;eviile and there the farmers too
me they had seen the same thing. There
was no doubt about il either, FOR mum
her of them watched the cloud and al
that place it passed 50 low that they
caught the insects i'm their hands. They
were he same flying ants We compare
notes and found that it required just al
hour for the swarm to move from tho
place where they were first seen to con

line is thirty-one miles They were in
oneida county at o'clock and at just
o'clock they were seen in the north
The ants continued northward and no

.oyERNER JONE, AND sENAIok
HOAR.

We were none too soon In considering
Tho alternatives that would be presenter
70 Governor Jones. of alabama, in case
Senator Hoar avowed responsibility lot
the card that reused the Governor ire
The Senator has avowed the cara @s Ills
own. and ill-natured people might con-
strue the avowal as something III Tue
nature Of a rubbing of it in. Now as
we asked on yesterday, what Is boVerhor
Jones going 10 do about II? Is he going
% challenge the Senator TO mortal com
bat? Is he going to tell him to his teeth
you're another Is he going to deny
the Senator's charges in the Virginia YER
nacular that amounts to the first blow,
or is he going. as Bob Acres dld' on
finding ont that Sir Lucius had really
called him a coward. to say II that was
all. it was all right? II is plain that the
Governor has opened up a great variety
Of courses to himself. but he viii proba-
bly, find each one attended with a num-
Der Of very embarrassing considerations.
Wherefore we cannot refrain from phi
losophising that It would have been much
better If Governor Jones had looked be-
fore he took this leap
But how is Senator Hoar going to
square his course in helping TO send
5000 to Populist Kolb, that he may
come to the United States Senate IT he
is elected Governor Of Alabama, to vote
for lush money and kill Senator Hoar S
vote for sound money? II we were
chartaby disposed to credit the Senator
in his statement that these 5000 were
intended as vehicle by which "argu-
ments might be addressed to the venal
part of Alabamas population in the in
terest Of protection" We should still
have very great difficulty in concluding,
from even his standpoint. that the end
justified the means.
Upon the whole, Senator Hoar. we
fear that you are as much Of a humbug
as another member of Congress who Is
cutting something of a figure in the
public eye at this time.

HOWARD GOULD's ENGAGEMENT.
He VIII be Married this Summer to Miss
Ode'te Il, Ter, the Actress

Howard Gould and Miss Odette Tyler
announced their engagement yesterday.
The date of the wedding has not vet
been announced, but it will probably take
place early in the summer The engage
ment has been persstently reported for
some time and as persistently denied.
1t is quite likely that affairs were not
in proper shape for the engagement to
be announced until very recently, for it
was only six weeks ago that Miss Tyler
made a verbal contract with Charles
Frohman TO play in his company next
season. Her contract with Mr.. Frohman
expires June LIST. and she will remain
in his company until that time.
Mr.. Gould and Miss Tyler met for the
first time two years ago in Portland ore,
where Mr. Frohman's company was play
ing. Mr.. Gould was in the city on rail
road business. and they were subsequently
introduced. They met again as the Froh-
man company was on its way back to
New York
Miss Tyler is a widow Of twenty-six
years, seven of which have been spent
on the stage. She is a Southern girl,
her maiden name being Bessie Kirkland.
Her father was general, and her peo-
pie were we'll TO do Her home was In
Nashville. She was married TO a broker,
and subsequently got a divorce. Miss Ty-
Ter is Of medium height and light-haired,
with dark eyes.
Her first appearance on the stage was
seven years ago. in the play Feather
BRAIN" under the direction Of Mr. Charles
Frohman, and she has been with him ever
since with the exception Of one week with
Nat Goodwin in the play Colonel Tom"
She has made her success in comedy,
though she has shown her ability to play
serious roles cieveriy.
Howard Gould is the third son Of Jay
Gould, and was born in ISL. He is one
Of the executors OF his fathers estate.
which. I'm December. 1892 when the will
was filed, was estimated al S72,0OO0O0. Mr..
Gould's will provided that his estate.
after certain specific requests had been
deducted. should be divided into six equal
parts, each OF the six children 10 re-
ceiye the income of one OF these parts
for life with power TO dispose Of his
share by will to his issue. The amount
TO be thus divided was about S65.000,.0,
so that each OF Mr.. GOulds children re-
ceives the income Of about Sll,w0000. ac-
cording 10 the values put upon Mr.. GOulds
property fifteen months ago. There is
provision In the viii that in case any OF
the children shall marry without the
consent OF a majority Of the executors
and trustees. who are George j.. Edwin,
Howard, and Helen NJ. Gould. the share
Of such child shall be reduced one-half.
Howard Could is a y. X. e. Columbia
College, and a director OF the Manhattan
evated.-NeW York sun.

Among the perennial flowers which
spring up suddenly when nobody Is ex-
pecting them are those irrepressible
sailor hats. They come along with the
crocuses and hyacinths that brighten bar
rem looking flower beds in covered up
gardens. OF course, that is away Dach
I'm the country, but in the city we nave
our compensatons. on every corner
around the shopping district are HOVER
stands loaded with violets and tulips
and roses i'm such abundance that we are
satiated with so much loveliness. and
hasten 10 buy a few violets and take
them away by themselves before we can
thoroughly appreciate them.
But / believe l was speaking or sallor
hats. 1t seems impossible for the modern
girl TO get along without them. Sne
varies the crown, having IL sometimes
high and sometimes low. and sometimes
piercing the brim and standing up on the
head. but always the same round brim.
The hat Of this year promises 10 be
OF narrower brlm than usual, and there
is a great deal of trimming also. Inc
young woman Of business will doubtless
continue to wear her plain sailor, with
only the band of ribbon around the crown
for trimming But girls who can afford
to wear dainty things at all times VIII
be permitted TO adorn these useful hats
as much as they please
one round black hat, with broad brlm
and fiat crown. has a large bow on
TOP of the crown near the back. 1t is
large, soft bow. which nearly covers the
hat. A band around the crown fastens
with a buckle in the front. The hat in
the picture is a round straw, trimmed
high on one side Of the front with stand
ing loop of double faced ribbon 4 small
er bow is placed lower down on the
crown and large lunches of violets are
placed on each. This is a pretty good
all-round sample of the kind of girl
Won are likely to meet as you move up

degree and extent TO which they carried
their obedience and subserviency was
astounding to all men who expected the
ordinary and proper considerations 10
prevail In the Legislature. or who hopeu
for good and pure government
The practical workings. then. OF Demo-
cratic institutions show that the per"
TO which they are exposed arises from
the development Of the political poss'
through the control given TO men In pun
lie place Of the money which the Govern
ment spends, or through the corrupt use
OF private money in elections.
The constant appeal by this boss IS
10 the mercenary nature, the cupiaity
the avarice. the sordid ambition OF MS
followers. 1t is distinctly business en-
terprise. The ideas of public spirit ana
patriotism are scofed at as 'irridescent
dreams" and "doctrnaire' talk. Tne
whole level of political thought and action
is debased as much as possible, Tor II
would be most prejudicial 20 the "Doss
plan of campaign TO have the ventilation
bring into his secret conclaves, and so
the boss" cultivates the spirit he lives
by and makes his political life self-perpe-
tuating. and thus the boss being in
the case becomes automatic He bends all
his energies towards having all the public
money he can get spent in his district
because he thereby binds closer to MN
those henchmen he has there. and ne
makes new ones with every new ONCE
he can get created. Unchecked, there
fore. Democratic institutions inevitably
tend to rottenness and eXtravagancy IN
government through the creation ana oe-
velopment Of the political boss. Ihere
IS however. a check, and 1t lies in fear
less and independent public press. II
our newspapers viii only do their duty
the political boss" will be held always
under measurable control. Not only So II
they will do their full duty he will be
souelched wherever he develops. But the
evil OF the day is control Of Government
patronage. and the use Of money in poll
tics. There are undoubtedly some lesiu-
mate uses for money in elections. But
these being secured. it should be the
aim Of the press to stop all use Of money
in elections beyond. The press cannot
wholly neutralize the effect of patron
age" but it can restrain its balefui in
fuence. and it can absolutely eradicate
the pernicious use of private money in
elections.
