The Brightness of Her Books Betrayed
Mrs. Craigie's Nationality.
1t is not generally known that Mrs.
Craigie, better known by her nom de
plume of John Oliver Hobbes," is an
American woman When her first
book, "Some Emotions and a Moral, ="
appeared it showed such remarkable
capacity for condensation and epigram
that most people decided she was not
English, these qualities not being gen.
orally marked charac teristics of up-to-
date writer's of that nationality. The
book made such a hit that the author
disclosed her identity. She has since
published several books which have
materially increased her reputation,
and she is now one of the literary
ionesses of London. Her home is

Marion q. Butler, Populist, is the
likely man in North Carolina, and his
bright prospects as q senatorial candi-
date are due to the success Of the fusion
ticket at the recent election. Mr.. But

GoldsbOro and president Of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial I'M

factor in the movement Of which that
body is the handspring in North Caro-
lima 1t is understood to be agreed
that he shall succeed Ransom, and so
there is likely to be no contest In his
case, but there will be lively scram-
bling by Republican candidates for the
short term now being filed by Senator
Jarvis. Jeter G. Pritchard, A. E. Hat

prominently mentioned
In Illinois there may be a hot con-
test, and then again there may not.
Directly after the election there was a
perfect swarm of senatorial candidates,
including George E Adams, George r.

In some states there will be no great
excitement In others the excitement

heartburnings in its wake, for sena-
torial contests are within party lines,
and wounds made in them do not heal

course Of battles between men of oppos-
ing political faith
Probably there is more interest in the
contest to take place in Delaware than
anywhere else. It is In Delaware that
Anthony Higgins and ]. Edward Ad
dicks will draw swords for senatorial
place and honorss- and there is no doubt
whatever that their fight will be right
lively one. Anthony Higgins first be-
came a man of national prominence in
1883, when a Republican majority was
chosen in the legislature simultaneously
with the election Of Benjamin Harrison
TO the presidency. There was not less

than revolution in Delaware that year,
though for some strange reason the
fact that the Republicans had won was
not generally known for some days, but
with the statement to that effect that
was sent over the wires there was also a
statement that Anthony higgins would
be chosen United States senator. There
were many cries Of incredulity at first,
but the event justified the prediction.
Mr.. Higgins was chosen one Of the two
members Of the upper house from next
to the smallest state Of the Union and
now holds the seat. Ordinarily in the
circumstances there would be re-elec-
tion, but J. Edward Addicks, a rich
man who made his money in gas in a
number Of cities, now comes forward
and declares himself candidate. A GER

In West Virginia the special interest
does not arise from the likelihood Of an

emit incumbent, and many Republicans
favor Joseph Medill, the veteran editor
Of the Chicago Tribune. There is, how
ever, some opposition to his candidacy,
and lately there has been some talk of
opposing elements concentrating on
Robert T. Lincoln.
In Michigan it seems to he generally
conceded that James Mcmillan will
succeed himself, but there will probably
be some fun In the filling Of the short
term senatorship now held by John T.
Patton, Jr., who was appointed by the
governor to succeed Senator Stockbridge,
deceased. Julius Caesar Burrows, who
was a candidate for the speakership Of
the house at the time Reed Of Maine
was chosen to that place, is one Of those
mentioned most prominently, and
Schuyler s. Olds, who was Senator
Stockbridge's private secretary and is
known as a keen and audacious politi-
clan, is another. OF course Mr.. Patton
is willing to be reelected and may sue
coed. Congressman Samuel Stephenson,
ex-Congressman Jay Hubbell,' ex-Gov-
ex-Congressman Byron M. Cutcheon
are also spoken of.
In Kansas the candidates will be
many. Perhaps J. r. Burton and J. W.
Ady lead, although, with the multiple
ity of candidates, it is pretty hard TO
name the favorites. Among the others
are Calvin Hood, Thomas Ryan, ]. d.
Johnson, Albert II. Horton. r. W.
Smith and several others. Ex-senator
John J. Ingalls, is possibility, though

not an avowed candidate. There is a
round dozen Of candidates altogether,
but this column is short, and not all OF
them need be named. Ady has the adj
vantage Of having been the caucus NOM
inee in 1893, when Martin was elected,
and his friends argue that he should
again be nominated at this time. Bur
ton is a dashing orator and thinks he
would make a hit at Washington. He
has been speaker pro TEN. OF the legisla-
ture.
In Wyoming Joseph VI. Carey, the
present incumbent, Melville Z. Brown,
Francis T.. Warren. Clarence ID. Clark.
Judge Willis Van Devanter, Rev. Alon-
10 A. johnson and several others are
avowed candidates, and there is likely
to be a very tidy contest.
Senator Chandler is supposed to be
safe for recollection in New Hampshire,
and Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, Is
also considered safe.
In Minnesota il is said that the re-
election Of Senator Washburn will be
contested by a number of candidates,
including Congressman Tswney, S. @.
Comstock and Joel r. Heatwole.
In Idaho n lively contest Is expected,
inasmuch as Senator ShOup, who wrote
a letter last summer saying that he did
not care for q reelection, has changed
his mind and decided to enter the con-
test. Congressman Sweet, Governor Nc
ConnelI. Mr.. Hepburn and others are
also in the race, though the chances
are said 10 be with Sweet.

POPULAR APPROVAL

Goes far toward establishing
the standing of a business
house In any community, and
the goodwill and patronage
we have had during the last
forty years indicate, not only
that we have the POPULAR APP

have dealt with us have been
eminently satisfied with their

WE ATTRACT
And retain patronage more
by the EXCELLENCE OF QUALITIES
shown and our REASONABLE
PRICES than by preposterous
claims of selling goods below
cost, etc.
WE REPEAT
As we have said before that
when you pay less for goods
than we ask for them you get
an inferior quality.
WHILE WE

highest grade, and exclusive
designs of the most recent and

The superstition that associates the
horseshoe with good luck l.; very old.
1t is said to prevail not only among
English-speal<ing people, but in all
races of Europe and Asia. Antiquar-
ians are undecided whether it's origin
has to do with the material from which
the horseshoe is made or with it's
shape. Some writers on this subject
have surmised that the lucky qualities
attributed to the horseshoe were de-
rived from its fancicd resemblance to
the halo pictured about the heads of
saints, but this connection is highly
improbable, as it is known that the
superstition certainly antedates Chris

They Pass BY.
Indications of the peculiar relations
existing between the courts of Vienna
and Rome were manifested the other
day, when Emperor Francis Joseph was
permitted to cross over the Italian ter
ritory on his way to visit Emperor Will
liam at Abbazia, without any of the
customary forms of courtesy and atten-
tion being paid to him by the Italian
authorities
This neglect by the Italians was
made all the more pointed seeing that
King Humbcrt was at that moment at
Venice preparing to receive the visit of
Emperor William, which followed i'm
mcdiately after the departure of the
Austrian monarch, who for Il second
time passed several hours travelling
through the northern portion of Italy
on the way back to his capital.
The strained relations which led to
this lack of courtesy on the part of King
llumbert are due, says the New York
Recorder, to the persistent refusal of
the emperor and empress to return ut
Rome the state visit which King lIum-
bert and Queen Marguerite were per-
suaded by their ministers to pay to the
court of Vienna just ten years ago The
visit ought to have been returned with
in ut the latest twelve months, and the
cmpcror's hesitation and delay in the
matter are attributable to the ccInpli-
cations which would arise in conncc-
ton with the vatican, since the pontif
absolutely refuses to receive at the
vatican any Catholic sovereign who has
not first paid his respects to the head
of the church before holding any inter
course with the quirinal.
King llumbert of course insists that
the first visit should be to the quirinal,
and this renders the stay of Catholic
royalties in the eternal city n source of
endless complications and awkward
contrctcEps. TO make matters worse,
Empress Elizabeth has, even since the
death of her son, visited Rome incog-
nito, and been received by the pope
without paying the slightest attention
to the quirinal. and that it was after
this that she was permitted to make
stay at Venice without receiving any
attention from the italian authorities,
being even forced to take her turn
with the tourists when she visited the
royal palace in which she had formerly
dwelt as its mistress prior to the forced
