BUCHANAN'S ONLY HOPE
Is That Supreme Court Msy Decide That Juror
Paradise Was lncomp ;tent.

Washington, April 1G.-Tho argument
on the motion in the United States su-
premc court for writ of supersedeas in
the Buchanan case was had, this after
noon. The main contention on the part
of the petitioner was that after the case
was submitted to the jury, one of them
named Paradise was taken sick, and be-
came unconscious and delirious, and en-
tartained the delusion that he was accused
by Buchanan of having himself committed
the crime, and was dosed with brandy, and
thus incapacitated, mentally and physi-
Gully, from participating in and rendering
assent to the verdict.
This disability, it was contt nded, was
not merely a temporary faint, as asserted
by the New York court of appeals, but a
post epileptic expression, which. in view
of the eminent, expert authority made it
impo sible for Paradise to have formed an
intelligent opinion upon the case.
The decision of the court upon the ap-
plication, may be announced, tomorrow.

OF "Don Quixote" it may be said, saw
ing only the Bible, it has been translated
oftener and into more languages than any
other book. A recent Spanish editor, Don
Lopez de Fabra, enumerates $50 editions
of the Spanish masterpiece in foreign Ian
guages. That computation is certainly
short of the truth.
Not only are there more translations in
English of "Don Quixote" than any 9th
er language, but it is England which from
the first has done moro honor to the au-
thor's work than any other country. The
first critical edition of "Don Quixote" in
Spanish, with the first life of Cervantes
by Mayans y Siscar, was published in Lon
don in 1888, more than 40 years before the
Spaniards had aroused themselves to do
honor to their greatest writer.
This edition, in four handsome volumes.
was printed sumptuously in all the glory
of the Tonson press under the auspices of
Lord Carteret at an age when "Don Quiz
ote'' was stili appearing in his native
country on filthy ballad paper in exeera-
Bile type, uncorrected and unadorned. -

OLD SOUTHERN MANSIONS.
Distinctive Architecture That Might Well
BE Initiated In These Days.

The old mansions in Richmond,
Charleston, Savannah, Montgomery, Mo-
bile and New Orleans have an air Of dis
tinction about them which the newer ar
chitecture can never acquire. They were
built by men who desired to live in COM
fort and 30 entertain their friends in an
open handed way, but who did not find it
necessary to attract attention and to ad-
vcrtise their wealth and social position.
The eXteriors are still massive and state
ly, with their unbroken, rectangular sides,
their Doric columns and colonial porchcs,
and the interiors are unrivalcd for COM
fort and convenience Of home life and So
cial entertainment. With these fine models
of classic simplicity in town and country
it is to be regretted that the new houses
on fashionable drivcways and streets arc
not designed by architects content to fol-
low the old lines. The colonial architcc-
cure was not without its effect upon the
character and tastes of the people who liv-
cd in the houses. 1t taught them to be
simple in their social pleasures to be nat
ural and unaffected in manner and to
avoid mcretricious display of wealth and
dignity. There has been q reversion to
colonial lines in northern houses. Perhaps
there will be n similar movement in the
direction of purer taste and more refined
feeling i'll southern towns.
There arc many fine things to be said
about these southern houses, but the choic-
est tribute must be reserved for the lovely
old ladies who arc to be found in most of
them. The young ladies and the middle
aged wives and mothers are charming,
too, with their sensitive high bred faces
and their soft, melodious voices, but tho
old ladies are exceptionally well preserved
i'll figure and feature and delightful in
conversation. Montaigne said of Ciccro's
"De Senactute, " "It gives one "a good up
petite for growing old" and tho same i'm
preston is produced by the cheerful, gen
ial, yet calm and serious talk of the best
representatives of the passing generation
of southern women. They do not affect to
be young, yet have not lost their anima-
tion of manner nor their interest in life.
They are entertaining, womanly and bright
and quick as their granddaughters TO per-
ceive a good point in a story and as fine as
choice old lace in the thread and texture
of their homcly simplicity and cheerful
ness. There are good portraits Of famous
ancestors in some of the old houses, but
there are no better studies of the lights and
shades of advancing age and Of the com
persations attending increasing inflrmity
in the evening of life than are to be found
in the charming old ladies of the Caro-
linas, Georgia and Tennessee. York

FALL RIVER WEAvERS
To Have an Increase OF 1912 Per Cent.
After April 22.

Fall River, Mass, April 16.-The
Manufacturers Association voted, today,
to increase wages 1219 per cent, the new
rates to go into effect, April 20. The
vote is practically a breaking of the iron
clad agreement of which so much was
written during the strike of last fall and
is also determination to restore the
wages paid previous to August 90, 1894.
The increase voted is the result of the
voluntary increase made the operatives in
the Iron Works mills, by 81. C. d. Borden,
last week.
To the weayers 1t will be an increase of
from 16 to Is cents per cut for standard
printing cloths.
10 the mule spinners it will mean an
advance Of about 6 = per cent. To all
others it will mean an advance Of from
10 to 1919 per cent, according to the
departments where employed.
The manufacturers believe this advance
will be followed by an advance
in all other New England cotton centres
and they expect the prices to te well main
tanned on the new basis.

BEHRiNG SEA CLAIMS.

A Novelty in EGuipaSes.
From the Westminster Budget.

From the Westminster Budget.
A novelty in park equipages, just little
relief from the monotony of victorias and
dog-carts, nothing very startling-this is
not an imaginative age, as our critics, art,
literary and dramatic are always assuring
us-stiil something to break the dead level
of traps and carts The new thing made it's
debut in the park this season, and has still
the gloss of novelty upon it, 1t is nothing
more nor less than a coster's barrow, turn
ed out by a London coach builder-very
spick and span, highly vanished and the
appurtenances of the smartest, but a cos
ter's barrow none the less. Two tall young
swells-most precious they look-are fitted
into it. and furnish it in the best style. A
most uncomfortable pei CHI they have; but
then the pleasures Of eccentricity have to
be paid for. The barrow is not dragged
along by donkey, but by a diminutive lit
tie cob of pony with barrel of body
and greyhound legs And, so freighted. it
takes its place in the drive by the foot
path under the trees among the carriages
with the ladies in them.
On the river men are rowing; at Lords
men are batting and fielding: there is polo
at birmingham, there is football at Wem-
biey. These are more or less old English
sports. Resting in a coster's barrow under
the lime trees Is more fin de steele, and
might have consoled NJ. Daudet-if he had
seen it-for that truculent guardsman
whom, we rejoice to think, he took as q
type Of young England.

DR.. Jenifer said a certain portion Of the
colored race could dig, and some could DO

latter-who breathed free air, enjoyed cttf-

of American institutions-there was no
chance to rise. Even In Boston, for In
stance. in the huge department stores
colored boys get places as cash boys, and
colored girls, no matter how competent,
could not get employment as clerks In
Washington were 1888 colored teachers
earning 100000 a year. This money was
spent In dry goods stores where these same
teachers, with all their intelligence, would
not be employed as saieswomen. Now 1t
is proposed to have dry goods store for
colored people and white people, too, If
they chose to buy.
He also spoke of the work which Booker
T. Washington had done at Tuskeegee,
Ala, and the interest New England people
had shown In the industrial work there.
Rev. James H. Scott said the best way
to get colored people a chance to better
themselves was to save their money and
invest 1t in real estate and mercantile pur-
suits. Let colored men with capital en-
ploy colored boys and girls. All the trades
were opened to the colored man by him
self. Let him organize by hiiAself. Let
him combine with his own labor his own
