A Dainty American Duchesse.

The Duchesse de la Rochefoucauld. who
was once upon time-and only few years
ago-loveIy Matte Mitchell, of Oregon and
New York, is said to be one of the most
charming hostesses and one of the mos, bril-
liantly clever women in sunny France. OF
the truth OF this assertion people who have
the average opinion of the clever French
women may have doubts, but of the Ouch
esse's beauty there is only one opinion. She
Is remembered in New York rs a lovely girl
with perfect figure, superb snowy shouI-
ders, which she always draped with chiffons,
gauzes and tulles in off-shoulder fashion
which showed to the best advantage the yery
classical contour of the lovely shoulders.
Miss Mitchell also had regular features.
bronze gold hair, a complexion of dazzling
pink, and white and lovely eyes like aqua

gray. No wonder that Paris imagines Sem
ator Mitchell's daughter as clever in every
way as she is pretty.

Negro Men and Women in a Row and Jim
Smith Was Cut.
Twenty negroes engaged in drunken
row last night in Freeman's alley. The
fighting was done by both men and women,
and lasted about an hour.
The trouble arose from quarrel between
Celia Weston and Rhoda Washington. A
colored man, John Mercer, attempted to
quiet them, but was Interrupted by James
Smith.
Mercer and Smith both drew kniles and
clinched, and the fight became general.
Smith received an ugly cash on the face,
and was carried to Emergency Hospital

NOT SWIFT ENOUGH.
Ben Johnson Failed to Get Away With His
Stolen Rig.

Stolen Rig.
There was an exciting scene on Maryland
avenue northeast shortly before 6 o'clock
last evening. A colored man in a buggy
lashed his horse and drove furiously along
that thoroughfare, hotly pursued by
Mounted Policeman Stearnes, Of the
Ninth precinct. The wild chase COM
menced at Twelfth street and Maryland
avenue and continued to Eighth and G
streets northeast, There Policeman
stearnes made a squirt and succeeded in
reaching the buggy horse, which was a
blooded animal and flyer.
The colored man, with the team, was
taken to No. 8 police station and locked
up, with the charge of horse stealing
against his name. The man, Benjamin
johnson, had gone to the stable of j. S.
Redmond, 925 Virginia avenue south
west and represented that he had been
sent for the horse and buggy by Mr.. Red
mond. 1t was given to him.
An hour later Policeman Stearnes found
him out on the Bladensburg road trying to
dispose of the outfit for $40. The capture
and recovery of the team was very clever
piece of work.

Telephone Mistakes.

Telephone mistakes have their serious
sides. A man who wished to communicate
with gentleman named Williams looked
in the telephone directory and then called up
a number isouth.'' Presently there came
through the receiver soft feminine Hello, -
and he said: ''Who is that?''
This is Mrs. Williams"
"Have you any idea where your husband
is?''
He couldn't understand why she had rung
off SO sharply until he had looked in the
book again and discovered that he had called
up the residence of prominent widow.-Chi-

with a baseball bat. Then he sailed forth
to find some one to play ball for his bat. He
finally located Lizzie DAVIS and Charlotte
Lingeyar atTwentieth and n streets north
west and was proceeding to knock series

when Policeman O'Donoghue ran him in.
Tomorrow he will be charged with two
cases of assault and one of disorderly con-
duct in the police court.

Debate on Restriction Of suffrage.

Those interested in suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia would have been greatly
edited had they attended the debate at the
Columbian University last night, under the
auspices OF the Columbian Law School De-
batting Society.
"Resolved. That some properly qualifi-
cation for exercising municipal suffrage
is desirable" was the subject for debate,
and was handled with skill and ability by
Messrs. W H. Coleman and w. j. Whit
taker for the affirmative, and with logical
arguments showing deep thought by Messrs
T. w L. Clay and J. Id. Zimmerman in the
negative.
Messrs Goodwin, Gray. and Moore, the
judges, decided the question in favor of
the negative.

essity of issuing bonds previous to the
close of the Harrison administration
All the troubles that led up to that
necessity were brewing before he left
the treasury department. The Cleve-
land administra ton has but followed
the Republican policy and for 50 doing
has been condemned by the great
masses of Democrats.
The Democrats in Congress refused
to pass bill for the redemption of
the bonds in gold, showing that they
were against any measure that would
place silver at discount. The bonds
are payable in coin" and therefore
sold for less than if they had been
made redeemable in gold, but the dig
nifty of silver, what the Republicans
have left of it. was maintained by
that Democratic refusal
The Allen deception may deceive a
few but it will be the uniformed. It
demonstrates with his falsiication
of the Florida affair his unreliability
and therefore his unftness for con-
gressional responsibilities. Vote for B.
H. Roberts and do not disgrace Utah
by sending such a prevGricator. or
ignoramus, as c. Z. Allen to the ma
donal legislature.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The home industry cry Of the Utah
Republicans is the colossal humbug
OF that party of humbuggery and
fraud. When they tell their deluded
hearers that the difference between a
Republican and Democrat is that
the former believes in home indus
tries and the latter opposes them. they
prepare themselves for the place re-
served for them who love and make
lie
The difference on the home industry
question between a Democrat and a
Republican is that the former wants
some special and pet home industry
fostered. by taxing the whole COM
munity for its support contrary to the
wish of a large number of taxpayers,
while the latter wants all Industries
that can be carried on supported by
the investment of home capital and
the purchase of the product at reason
able prices.
The Republicans believe in forcing
the many to pay money to go into the
pockets of few who engage in some
selected enterprise, and who are to
pocket the profits as well as the
bounty. The Democrats believe that
there should be no force work in pri-
vate business affairs, and that no
money collected by taxation should be
put to anything but public use.
In this controversy the Democrats
have right. justice, honesty and equal
itv on their side For IT is robbery to
take money from the public treasury
and bestow it on private individuals
or corporations for any private pur-
pose. The Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States has declared this doctrine
IN unmistakabI language, and Re
publicanism in its doctrine as to boun-
ties is unconstitutional and a fraud!

DO WHAT is RIGHT.

The Democratic committee of the
Third precinct, or municipal ward, are
to meet tonight to take action on the
letter of Joseph NJ. Watson, who has
been nominated for reelection as city
councilman. The question to be decided
is, shall the gentleman be retired from
the ticket? It should be understood
that he has not resigned or declined
the nomination He simply leaves the
matter In the hands of the committee.
The Herald does not wish to interfere
with the business of that body. But
we wish to suggest that public opinion
will stand by the committee if it is
thought wise to support Joseph NJ.
Watson for the position which he nov
occupies and which he has filed with
honor and ability.
The fight against him is one of
mingled spite and political intrigue
No one acquainted with the gentleman
believes for a moment that he was
mixed up. dishonorably, with the furni-
ture affair that has caused so much
scandal. The means brought to bear
to besmireh his honorable name will be
fully exposed, and contempt VIII fall
npon those who have placed him in
his present unpleasant situation.
1t is for the committee to take such
action as wisdom will dictate, but it

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN MAsSACHU.
SETS.

lust at present Massachusetts is
more or less agitated over the question
of woman suffrage in municipal mat
ters. So interested have the people be-
come that circular letter to the
voters of the state has been sent out
advising them to vote no This cir
cular bears the names of one hundred
men prominent in business and profess
sional circles, among them being
President Eliot of Harvard. t Jeffer-
son Coolidge, Richard H Dana, Pro-
fessor Charles Eliot Norton, and ex-
Governors Robinson and Russell.
Among the chief reasons put forth
in the circular against woman suffrage
is that women are not experienced in
business affairs, and that, conse-
quentIy, the rights and property of
our citizens, female as we'll as male,
are now better protected and more
intelhgently cared for than they would
be if the mass of voters should be
doubled by establishing woman suff-
rage"
Except for the distinguished and
honored names attached to the circu-
lar, the above argument would not be
worthy of a moments consideration.
II in the administration of municipal
matters none but those who are ex-
perienced in business affairs took part
there would be some force in
the argument. But it is not the
case. Large cities are too often con-
trolled by vote that is neither ex-
perienced in business nor particularly
honest If the women of Boston are
not as well fitted to exercise the suff-
rage as the men along the Boston
docks, then it is a poor comment upon
their intelligence and integrity.
1t is rather surprising and very dis
appointing to see President Eliot's
name attached to this anti-woman
suffrage circular. for he has led
American thought in educatIona mat
tiers for the past quarter OF a century.
The whole thing is reactionary, and
we hope the people of Massachusetts
will vote yes and not no." as ad-
vised in this circular.

Utah Politics.

There are three tickets in the field in

and Democrats divided the nominations

and they hav. not been ostracised
Reports from Salt Lake are to the eff
