EncouragIng.

AS heretofore noted in these columns,
We have no faith IN the reports from
Cuba. Both Spain ard her revolution
lists seem to have no disposition TO tell
the truth about their operations and the
only way to make use Of such news Is to
consider the probabilities and then strike
an average. This will not always give
the required result but 1t will come
nearer to It than any other way Of which
we know. It Is evident that the revolu-
tIon, which the Spanish officials have
many times announced to be over, is
gaining ground and that it is causing
Spain much trouble.
On the 9Th OF May General Maxine
Gomez. commander In.chief Of the Cuban
insurgents said; "The outlook for the
success OF the present revolution before
two years is so bright that there can be
no doubt that the Republic Of. Cuba will
be one Of the new states soon TO occupy its
place among the free governments Of the
New World. Martinez Campos has, by
force of circumstances been compelled to
accept the only plan Of campaign left 70
him TO enable Spain TO temporarily
maintain possession Of the larger towns
and principal coast ports, and even these
will soon begin to slip one By one from
her feeble. slCkly grasp oampos will
resuire double army, one Of occupation
and one OF operation. For the first be
must have, as any military expert,
knowing the strength Of the revolution
and possessing a knowledge Of the
geography Of the island may see at q
glance, at least thirty thousand men, 10
order to occupy and defend the cities
towns aud outposts already Threatened
by she revolution, aud for his army Of
operation as many more troops will be
required to enable him to face our forces
in the 6eld
This looks little bombastic, yet there
seems some probability in it, for II tbs
Cubans can hold their own for twC
years there Is pretty good reason to be
lieve in their ultimate success. Tn,
government Of Spain is not only veal
but vaclllating, and her treasury is moi
well filled. AS result the Cubans, II
they were any other people, would seem
to have better opportunity now than
they have ever had before Of securing
their freedom II they do not succeed Il
gaining It Il viii be more from division
among thsir Oounsels than lack o
bravery.
The lack Of wisdom is apparently tn
worst foe with which the Cuban patriot
have to deal. They are good lighters an,
they are q unitin wanting to be free, but
after that about all has been said, 70
they reem to have no idea OF governin

Father Healyss Wit.

Father Healy, the celebrated parish
priest of Killiney, has just died. He
was a true wit and one of the last of
the real Irish hlmorists. Many time
have his sayings been reported, and
some of them are SO good that they will
keep on being funny" even after much
handling.
Mr.. Balfour, while he was chief SEQ
rotary Of Ireland, once asked Father
Healy if the Irish hated him as heartily
as the newspaT srs declared they did.
eff they only hated the devil half as
much as they hate you, said the honest
father, there would be no work left
for us to do!'
Once he sent a sort of Mrs. Malaprop
to England to buy horse for him.
Il didn't buy him." said the man,
on his return, because be had a touch
of the vernacular.
''Then you should have bought him. -
said Father Healy, ''for he must have
been lineal descendant of BALKAN g

repeating: Il hear you re such q funny
man. Father Healyl Do say something

The Day of Reckoning.

From the Asheville Citizen.l
We have to wait and possess our
souls in patience, see what bills are
passed and how they are taken by
the people; but this is pretty certain:
if the Rep-Pop combine goes on in
the spirit in which it has begunit viii!
as surely overreach itself and fall
outside the breast-works as night
follows day. There is not SO much
as a pretense that there's to BE- much
legislation in the interests of the
people; it is mainly for the Offices;
mainly on plan to give the great
est possible opportunity for holding
power in the State indefinitely, to
inflict as much injury as possible on
the Democratic party, to humiliate
it's ablest men, to tear down mainly
for the mere sake of tearing down
For the party or combine that legis-
lates in this spirit the day of reckon
ing cannot be far distant.

novelties in this direction are awaited
with interest Numbered with new fea-
lures in the ornamentation of screens is
what is known as boselle work. This
consists in coating the frames and part Of
the panels in imitation of carved ivory
with plastic but quickly hardening
material, which has been nodded in con-
tinuous starlike designs or single bosses.
The second method of decorating frames
or panels consists in fixing gilded, sill
vered or bronzed torchon lace to foun-
dalton of colored silk. An attractive
threefold screen, showing decoration by
both methods, is draped with Japanese
red kaja silk in gilded frame, with Boz
selle bosses along the top. A bird and
grape design with metallic lace work be-
low is embroidered on the center panel.

Fashions In Jewelry.

Open faced watches and chatelaines
are the present fashion in timepieoes
for women. These may be tiny affairs
in size, a trife less than a quarter of a
dollar, or larger, as the taste Of the
wearer demands. Watches are Of gold
and of silver. Many of the gold ones are
deliberately decorated with gems. The
chatelaine watches " now pinned on
the left side of the chest, and not at
the waist. as formerly. The queen chain.
with gold ball attached, is still a favor
lite with many and is equally fashionable
with the chatelaine
In brooches there is preference for
the serpent brooch, of which style there
is great variety. One especially beau
tiful reveals the serpent in hostile atti-
tude, the effect being produced by en-
amel work. showing the back and front
Of the snake in all its hideous colors,
while the head il set with large, deep
green emerald.
In rings the marquise, solitaire and
two stone rings lead, though the variety
is almost endless.

The Democratic Remedy.
From the Atlanta Constitution.


MIR. Cleveland tried the remedy of
unconditional repeal at the sugges-
ton OF the banks, and the result is
that the people of the country have
oeen brought to the verge of bank
ruptcy. At the suggestion of the
banks the president now proposes
that the legal tender currency of the
country shall be exchanged for gold
bonds in other words, that the peo
pie shall buy gold at 3 per cent pre-
MUM for the privilege of destroying
the greenbacks aid treasury notes
1t needs no financial knowledge or
experience to show that this plan
would bring still greater destruction
to the prosperity of the people.
But the gu 'stion arises, why not
try Democratic remedy7 The
Democrats pledged themselves at
Chicago to make both gold and silver
the standard money of the country
and to open the mints to both metals
On equal terms. That pledge still
holds good. Why should not the
Democratic party, which is now in
power, turn to this unredeemed
pledge and carry it out?
1t is not TOO late to prepare for the
future and it is not a moment too
soon to give the people the relief til at
the pledge promised them. Why not
put it in operation? We have tried
the single gold standard and it has
brought ruin and disaster TO every
interest except that of the eastern
Shylocks. Why not now try the
Democratic remedy of bimetallism ?
Why not restore silver as a part OF
the standard money of the country

The Substance of Things Hoped For

Lay your heart bare and tell US
what has come tc that loved one
whom you cannot wake from sleep.
Why should there be an element of
bitterness running through your
sorrow? Over and above the pain
of parting is there not sense of
doubt as to the other life, and is it
not that which makes your grief
prick like thorn? Would you feel
the same if he had gone to Colorado
or to any region OF the earth where
communication by mail or telegraph
is impossible? If not, what is the
difference in your outlook, and what
are the reasons for it?
A careful determination will
probably show that you are tremu
lous with uncOnfessed uncertainty
Ii you had a sure and well established
faith you would know that, so far as
he is concerned, he is far better off
where he is than he was when you
kissed him good night a week ago
Beneath all your weeping would be a
feeling OF gratitude that he has been

FASHIONABLE THREE-QUARTER CAPE.
outdoor garments Everything is worn
from long pelisse to an Elton jacket.
Capes are quite as popular as coats, and
the most elegant ones are made Of vel
vet, trimmed beautifully with jet and
fur and lined with handsome brocade
and are either very short or quite long
High medici collars are seen on coats
and capes alike. The latest cloth jackets
for winter wear have either shoulder
capes or revers of fur, and Persian lamb,
sable, mink and chinchilla are the kinds
most commonly used.
The three-quarter length is an ideal
cloak for either church or theater,
as it Is easy to adjust, in addition to
being extremely becoming. The three
quarter cape in black velvet is especial
~ handsome. One seen was mounted
with full box plaits at the back and
opened on two added fronts. It was
lined with figured silk and connected
with clusters of long jet strands in har-
mony with the gimp of the pointed collar.
A band of fur surrounded the throat and
outlined the f1uted shoulder frill The
long cloaks this season possess all the
advantages of elegance that full length
garments gain over the curtailed ones.
For evening wear, or as q carriage wrap,
these close affairs are equally conven-
lent and appropriate. The comfort of
long, loose cloak is among the things
which custom cannot render obsolete.
The gowns of today express amplitude.
The sleeves spread out to correspond
with the full skirts, collars are decorated
with bows and rosettes to continue the
effect of width, and hats are trimmed
wide to complete the outline, giving an
air OF generous sufficiency to the cos
tunes which leaves nothing to be de-
sired by women of redundant propensi-
ties. Skirts remain close around the hips
and wide at the bottom. Bodies are
mostly cut round and monopolize the
decorations, the skirts being but spar
ingly trimmed when trimmed at all.
The princess style of dress is worn again,
which is good news for stout women.
The simply cut princess is the most fash
ionable style for velvet gowns, but they
need a perfect dressmaker and ought to
be fitted over good form of stays.
The skirts for all street costumes must
clear the ground, and yet not be short.
They can be from to yards in width,
but must fit smooth and tight over the
hips and hang as though worn over a
Grin oline. This stiff, f1aring look is OBJ
tanned in several ways-frst and fore
most by the cut of the skirt, then by a
lining of haircloth or similar stiff ma
terials. Lining street costumes with silk

&c TEACHING.
esrs the Music a. He BEADS

leers the Music a. He Reads
efore Touching the Keys.
D1s is one important point where
st teachers of music stop short A
piece Of music is poem in tones Now,
ordinary schooling brings the pupil
where he ia able to take the printed
copy of story or poem III his hand and
enjoy it without reading it aloud With
stock of books he may enjoy the finest
poems or stories without an audible
sound But music graduates are not
SO fortunate. After five or six years Of
study they are able 20 play at any one
session only the few pieces which they
have recently praoticed. When a new
piece is handed them, they do not know
whether they like it or not until some
one plays it for them or until they have
time to practice it themselves. If cir
cunstance of this kind occurred in lit
erature in the case of college gradu-
ate, every body would at once recognize
that there was something wrong. But in
music this sort of thing is universal, ex-
oept in the case Of those who have start
ed out with the intention of becoming
composers and have therefore mastered
musical notation from different stand
poirt.
Thus we come upon two defects which
even the music graduates Of our best
schools rarely overcome. The technia
! does not reach point where 1t will
maintain itself at fair playing point
without practice, and, second, the repre-
sentative faculty is not cultivated to the
point where the student hears his music
as he reads it before his fingers have
touched the keys. The remedy for the
former shortcoming is obvious, says The
Musical World. 1t is more careful and
all around training Of the playing appa-
ratus. But the great defect of all lies in
the second point, and no small part of
; the ephemeral fading away of piano
technio is due to the same lack, for tech
mic is the result of two elements-clear
thinking and muscular f1exibility.
There is no reason why a girl should
lose the latter, and if she has once ao-
quired the clearness of musical concep-
ton her technio will stand by her in a
I degree which will astonish the average
teacher.
The ability to hear music inside, read
ing it from printed copy, without any
| participation of fingers, is something
| which every musician ought to have.
Unless he has this he is ignorant. He
| has no foundation and is not educated
in music. He may perhaps be educated
| in the keyboard, but not in music, and
it will be found that the Wellesley and
Vassar girl is just as deficient in this
| ability as the average student of the mu-
steal crossroads. Many girls are praotio-
ing concertos who probably could not
| distinguish major chord from minor
by ear and could not write the simplest
| phrase.

The Florists, Paradise.

The account given by Mr.. Robert
Craig to the Florists Club, of Phila-
del, hia, makes it quite certain that
the estate of Mr.. George Vanderbilt,
at Biltmore, N c., will in a few years
be one of the great sights of the con-
tinent. Mr. Vanderbilt has caused the
planting of millions of trees and
shrubs, gathering them from all
corners of the earth. He has an acre
of palms and decorative foliage
plants under glaas. Ii will soon be
possible to drive ffty miles between
hanks 81 lowering plants and shrubs.
