tall and fair, as the accompanying il

easy change to "wistful and sweet"
Whlle the contour Of her face, the eX-
preston Of her mouth, and the generous
pose of the figure are all in harmony
with our ideal of the fascinating god

is sister of Mrs. f. +. Cooke, wife of
the editor of The Westminster Gazette.

MISS Jennie GOODWIN OF hdHSS Alty.
She is "a years old, and for six years
served as stenographer with firm Of
live stock commissioners. Through her
position she came in constant contact
with customers and became acquainted
with nearly all Of the leading shippers
of the southwest. About one month
ago she first thought Of starting in
business and decided that she could
succeed as we'll as many Of the men
who went into the same work who were
possessed Of no more good sense or
judgment than she herself claimed.
She looked the field over thoroughly
and carefully. weighing every sugges-
ton that she could think of pro and con.
and finally determined that she could
give as good service as any one else, and
then opened her Office at the Kansas
City stockyards. She has been fortunate
in securing good salesman, who has
been at the yards since 1872, the year
after Miss Goodwin was born. The
hog man is also an old stockyarder.
Miss Goodwin is very popular about the
exchange, and now that she Is making
her own way in the world finds that the
number of friends have increased Won
derfully. She has received propositions
from several wealthy cattlemen to fur
nish the capital and incorporate a COM
pany, but she prefers to keep on as at
present. She does not care for partners
and wishes to keep the profits without
division. Miss Goodwin is slight and
not over five feet three inches in height.
Her forehead Is broad and high and
suggestive of intellectually. Her eyes,
which are dark and brilliant, are
shaded by heavy lashes Her chin Is

The President and Maryland.

We reproduced few days ego tho
cheering telegram which Mr.. Cleveland
had sent 10 the Democracy OF New York
ana which Senator Hill had read In the
great rally In that State, TO show that
the President was still true Democrat.
1t appears that in Maryland Mr.. C'eve-
land did not support the regular Demo-
cratic ticket. but cast his influence In
favor OF Mr.. Lloyd Lowndes for Governor,
etc. etc. The Baltimore Sun vouches for
this fact az follows,
1T Che SUM IL proud TO know THAT Its
course has frequently elected earnest
expressions Of approval from the great
leader of Democracy, Grover Cieveian nd.
and that both by word of mouth and Ia
writing II has received from time - time
the hearty endorsement OF the foremost
Democrat OF the land. The President
has not sent any message of cheer or
encouragement to Senator German or his
ticket. and no one dare say he has.
Which, then, has the better right to be
regarded as representing the real princi-
pies OF Democracy as illustrated by the
President---the sun. which he has often
commended. or Mr.. German, whom he has
marked with the indelible brand CT party
perfdy and party dishonory'
That Is very severe Language. but the
reader must remember that IT Is not
the Presidents. but the Suns.

The ELECTIONS Yesterday.


II the Democrats had done as well In
all OF the States In which elections were
. held Yesterday as they did in Virginia,
there would BIO great rejoicing In our
party throughout the country to-day. The
so-calJed Honest Elections people were
overwhelmed with defeat. The Democrats
of Virginia say in terms not to be mis-
taken that whatever changes In our
election laws may be needed shall be
made by our party. No outside doctor
is to be called in.
From returns received by us last night,
covering about two thirds of the State.
A. appears that the Democrats have elect
ed at least II out of the 20 senator's.
and not less than 81 OF the 100 members
OF the House Of Delegates. Additional re-
turns will. no doubt, increase the magni-
tude of our victory, and give us additional
members. or the "hold-over" senator's,
10 of the % are Democrats. SO our ma
1ority In the state Senate is overwhelm-
ing, and in the House we have very
decided majority. The most spirited OF
all the legislative contests was In Gull
pepper, where Lewis DemocraD defeated
Catlett Gibson independently.
The news from New York is that Tam

publcans the State.
jorlty. So, while Morton gets boom"
In New York; Mckinley scores one in
Ohio.
The defeat OF Hurst In Maryland Is
claimed by the Republicans and their
Democratic allies. Republicans and anti
German Democrats mingled their shouts
and exchanged congratulations In Balti-
more last night! At this writing the Sun
and American claim the defeat OF
Hurst: but Hurst's friends are not ready
to concede II.
At the hour when this Is penned the
news from Kentucky is scant. We cannot
yet be quite sure that the going-home OF
Mr.. Carlisle to vote has saved us ths
State: especially since Mr.. Cleveland's
letter heartily endorsing the State Demo
cratic ticket and platform Of New York
failed of effect.
No matter If the Republicans have sue
decided 10 the extent Of all that they
claim as to yesterdays work. there is nc
occasion for us to despair Of winning
the presidency next year. The Democrats
are famous for showing their fighting
qualities In the direst extremities. 1t II
peril that brings out our pluck; adversely
that makes us unanimous.
