Mr. and Mrs. Ffoulke " ill give two evening
receptions at O'Clock on the 21st and 2sth
instants.
The friends Of Governor and Mrs Oates
have been informed of the engagement OF
their niece, Miss Cochran, of Alabama. who
was their guest in Washington last winter.
Miss CochTan's fianee is Bishop III Melville
Jackson, of Alabama. The marriage will
take place at Easter Miss Cochran is one
of the leading beauties OF the South, and the
wedding VIII be in every way a memorable
event
The thoughtless wording of a telegram
has times without number been the innocent
means of conveying 10 the one to whom
the message is sent, an impression dia-
metrically opposite that intended by the
sender.
II was not long since that a Washington
woman had serious cause to realize this.
10 the gTdvest alarm of her friends at the
time, ana her own subsequent chagrin at
the amount Of merriment at her expense.
Having gone To baltimore to spend the
day With friends. she ultimately concluded
TO remain over night. and in order that
those at her house should not feel alarmed
at her absence, resolved to send an explana-
tory telegram.
y
with the necessary blank on which to
write the message. she hurriedly wrote
down Miss Bradford remains; VIII come
down tomorrow" Z"
When the clerk at the office looked over
the message his face became very serious
for moment, then as the real purport
Of the message dawned upon him, be
handed il back with the suggestion that
as il stood il was likely 10 create an er-
roDeous impression TO the friends to whom
il was directed. This view OF the case was
taken by the writer herself when she read
it over, SO destroying it she set about
writing another.
Finally, with a smile of supremest sat
isfaction upon her face, the Washington
woman handed the revised edition to the
clerk and left the office. fondly thinking
the telegram was all that il shonld be.
This, however. is the message that reached
her friends in this city: Miss Bradford
stays; VIII come down tomorrow

1t is said that IN Switzerland where
they have the Initiative and Referen-
dum, three-fourths of all the laws
passed by the representatives Of the
people are vetoed by the people when
they vote on them. This shows that
if we would have a peoples govern
ment, it is not sufficient that the
United States Senate should be elected
10y the people. In government of, by
and for the people, the people should
have the opportunity to say of every
new law, whether they want it or not,
This would make it more difficult to
pass bad laws, and make it more diff
cult for corporations to get laws passed
by the use of money. Give us the ref.
erendum and the people will vetoe
three-tourths of all the laws passed in
this country, and if we had the initia-
tive we might hope to pass measures
that would repeal the curse of bad
class legislation from the statutes.

Since the decision of the United
States supreme court on the income
tax case, that no tax could be levied
upon rents derived from real estate,
some serious questions are likely to
arise as to whether any tax can be col
lected at all, except from those receiv-
ing salaries. So far as every other
form of income is concerned it is di-
rectly traceable to land and may not
be collected. 1t is hoped that the case
may be reopened for another hearing.

Unexpec ted Good Fortune

Many cases are on record where a
simple act of kindness has been I'M
expectedly and substantially reward
ed. On the outskirts of Vienna there
lived early in 1899 blind beggar Of the
name of Fritz. In the same house there
lodged a young man who earned a
scanIy livelihood as assistant to cop
persmith. One day, crossing a crowded
street, the blind man was knocked
down by a passing vehicle, and the
young man happening to witness the
accident carried him home in his arms.
A friendship sprang up between them
and continued until the blind man
died. when by his will it appeared
that he had left his bed to the copper
smith. AS it was a better one than
his own, the young man slept for some
two or three months upon it, when
curiosity led him to cut it open, with
the result that bank notes to the value
of over two thousand dollars were re-
vealed secreted inside. A French priest
was accosted by man In rags who
begged the able to get him into a mon
astry, where he might live and die in
peace. The kindly priest took pity
upon him and eventually secured his
admission into a Spanish monastery,
and hearing no more of him forgot all
about the matter. Some three or four
years afterward, however, he received
a letter informing him that he had
been appointed universal legatee and
executor of this very man, whose
property in France alone was worth
some millions of francs, and ever since
the able has enjoyed an income Of
twelve thousand dollars a year derived
from this source. Some years ago an
English stage driver was in the habit
of freQuenting a certain modest inn Of
an evening, where he used often to
meet a funny little old gentleman,
who, in return for the drivers kindness
in seeing him home, used often to
promise that he would remember him
some day." The driver thought moth
ing of the matter, but the old fellow
was as good as his word, and duly
willed his chance acquaintance some
