The Washington Post says: William Randall Cremer, member of parliament, who has been at the capitol in the inter- est of his measure to settle all disputes between Great Britain and the United States by arbitration, has been a fre- quent visitor on the floors of both house and senate, This is courtesy not ex- tended under the rules of congress, but simply by general consent, and as an act of courtesy forms a striking contrast to the practice of the English parlia- ment to the floor of which members of the American congress are not admitted either under the operation of rule or the stress of amity An American mem- Der of congress is lucky when in London if he secures a seat in what is known as the gallery of distinguished visitors. !" The American ambassador has placed at his disposal two seats a day, which, owing to the presence of numerous Americans in London at all times, com pels him to exercise all the diplomacy of his nature to divide so as to satisfy at least partially the demand of his visitors. When Representative Caruth was in London, some years ago, the American minister had no alternative, in order to place him where he could witness the doings on the floor of the house of commons, but to write spec ial to the speaker for seats, which was answered with card admitting the American representative to the Speak CTS private box.

l" EXPENSE FUNDS. ,,

The 'nationaP' building and loan as- sociations are being sharply looked af-
 ter in some of the States. There was an interesting hearing last week before the house committee on corporations of the Indiana legislature on the subject of the expense funds" of the nation aP' building and loan associations. One of the speakers declared that the ex- pense fund was "a thief in the night which stole away the peoples savings without their knowing it. Another speaker urged that the business should bes so stransacted that there should be no mystery about it, and that no fund.- should be created for paying expenses that was not thoroughly understood by the shareholders. He instanced one as- sociation with an expense fund of $19.- 395 and membership fees of nearly S12.- 900. This association is called the Gov ernment association, and it advertises among it's directors the governor, tax commissioner, and adjutant general of Indiana, the auditor of Marion county. and an ex-mayor of Indianapolis. 9th CT witnesses testified that associations

LAsr,

At last the people of this State. ol at least some of the people of thi, State, are really moving against the bis theater hat. Long have they sat behind it in exasperated or profane silence and long and fervently have they verb ally "cussed" it in public and private Now Representative Eaton has, "by re. quest" introduced a bill designed tc | promote good temper and decrease both spoken and unspol1en profanity by abol. l ishing the nuisance. It is cause for hearty gratitude that the request was made and that Representative Eaton granted it. Both he and the one or ones who made the request have done the State a service. And if the Iegisla- ture will make the sensible and reason able bill a law it cannot be accused of having done nothing even if it sits and talks until the Fourth of July.
 The bill provides that it shall be the duty of those who own and manage places where the big theater hat may come to insure each visitor an unob- structed view of the entertainment that may be going on there. And it further provides that any person entitled to a seat and occupying the same at public entertainment or performance, and finding the view therefrom of such en- tertainment or performance obstructed by any cause within the control of the proprietor of such place, may recover from the proprietor or manager of such place the price of such seat, unless the obstruction interfering with the proper and unimpaired enjoyment and view of such entertainment or performance shall be immediately removed upon de- mand, made to such proprietor or man. ager or subordinate.
 If this bill becomes a law, as 1t cer- tainly ought to, the big theater hat can be successfully dealt with in this State. Of course if, when it is a law.
 
 women disregard it, 1t will take little sand to complain of them, but we be- lieve there are many people ready to complain and do their part toward elevating the moral tone of theater- goers. Perhaps there would be no need of complaint. Perhaps lovely Woman would be considerate enough of the managers of theaters to avoid giving cause for complaint. She has given enough, and could well afford to take rest.
 Representative Eaton has introduced the bill "by request" We, speaking for thousands, hereby request him to push 1t along, it being plainly a good thing.

 One of the chief industries of Lake county, Tenn, is beaver farming. The county Is cut up by numerous little creeks, and the western corner is, touch- ed by the Mississippi river. Reelfoot lake is also within it's borders. The county has but one town of any size. It is the seat of government, called Tip tonville The banks of these streams are fringed with cottonwoods and "a species of elm that has a warped and stunted growth. These small streams and the trees that grow along their banks are valuable features of the beav- CT farms.
 While other farmers are crying ruin and deploring low prices, the beaver farmers enjoy themseivs rolling up bank accounts that are in no way threatened by dry seasons, hailstorms, or demoralized market. There is al ways a demand for beaver fur, and for the good article the price is always sat- isfactory and unvarying With $500 in his pocket man may establish beav- CT farm which will yield him from 1000 to $4000 in three years, if successful. He first purchases from ten to fifteen acres of land through which runs a stream. At point where the stream is narrow and the banks steep dam is built.

Among all the furs now on the mar Fet, perhaps the most serviceable as we'll as one of the least common is what is called wool seal It Is probably called that because it is neither wool nor seal. It is a rich brown, the hairs are little longer than seal and are wiry and glossy It stands rain and any weather, and if kept we'll rubbed down will last forever. The danger is that it may get dull and tousled from rubbing the wrong way. It is not an expensive fur, but makes up very hand somely with fine persian lamb astra- kan or velvet.
 Some double capes are made with the upper cape cut in two suddenly extend- ed points in front that reach to the edge of the lower cape. This may give vari- ety, but it adds neither to the grace nor the warmth of the garment. It only shows how hard pressed cape designers are for new models. FLORETTE.

out what he considered the three most prominent ones. They were, not an absence of sufficiently high protective tariffs. nor of cheap coal or good rail- road facilities, of which many of the delegates had more or less to say; but, first, labor troubles, second the in- 1uence of lobbying interests, and third and last the laxity of moral obligations among business men, who were seeking to occupy high positions.

It has long been pointed out by ex- perts that French newspapers and books will, owing to the inferior qual- ity of the paper on which they are printed, literally turn to dust in much less than a century, so that public libraries bid fair to become literary cemeteries. This is the reason why the budget committee proposes to have 100 copies of the Journal Official printed daily on what is called Dutch paper, to insure preservation.

Pointers on Sleeves.

On the elbow sleeves of the gown dis played herewith rlcn applique of vel vet shows, and the same ornamental tion appears on the hem of the skirt and the bodice. This is quite in accord with current rulings, but there is re- cent liking for sleeves that are rich with gold, spangles and needlework, such elaboration appearing either not at all in the rest of the garment, or only in narrow lines along the heading of frills or fur finish. Bluet cloth Is the chief fabric of this costume, it's skirt is stiffened throughout and it's bodice has deep yoke outlined with fur and diyl- ded in the middle by a white chiffon front Belt and collar are of folded vel vet.
 Like elbow sleeves are in high favor but a new notion has sleeves made very long at the wrist, with point on the little finger side of the hand that reach es to the knuckles. These are becom- ing to the usual hand, especially if made to fit closely at the wrist.

The Prix de Rome, once the object of the ambition of every art student in Paris, has declined so much in value that it is proposed to abolish it. It carries with it the travelling scholar ships in Italy, and the plea of those who attack it is that a student pos sessing 1t wastes his talent in slavish imitation of the Italian masters, rather than developing it by the interpreta- tion of nature. The sculptor Rodin, the leader of the antagonists, main tains that this prize has only retarded the progress of the great men who have obtained it in the past.

At meeting of representative negroes in Columbia, South Carolina, last Friday an address to the white people of the State was adopted, pro testing against the disfranchisement of the negro by the imposition of a three dollar poll tax at the coming consti- tutional convention, and calling upon negro voters to support only delegates who will pledge themselves to work against such scheme to deprive the negro of the ballot. The address says, among other things: "The politician says the negro is a dangerous quantity in politics, and if let alone will control the State. We, the representatives of the colored people. in South Carolina, wish here and now to inform the white people that we. as a race, do not wish to control the State"

It Is estimated by MT. Mulhall in a recent article in the Contemporary Re- view that the shipping of all nations is of the approximate value of $1, 100, 900, ,OO0 while the 10000 locomotives at work represent a value of $1,00O,0OO,0O0 The railways give employment to 2,394, OOC people, while shipping employs only 7O5,00O The life of locomotive is fif- teen years. It will run 27O,OOO miles, carry 6OO,OOO tons, or 1,OOO,C eco passengers, andearn $3OO,0OO It's first cost is SIC, 900 and it's general average is 300 horse power. The average lifeofa ship and it's earning capacity, compared with it's cost, is not given, and is perhaps not yet computed, but it is not likely to equal or approach that of the locomotive, which may fair ly rank as the most potent instrument of civilization ever devised by man.

A bill has been introduced in the Wis consin legislature providing that the president of any regularly organized board of trade or chamber of commerce or any ten citizens of any place where there is trouble between railroad and it's employees, shall have power to cause the trouble to be considered and settled by the Circuit court of the county. The employees of the road may likewise submit the question to the court, If a company shall refuse to carry out the terms of the decree, and the stoppage of trains results, the com pany shall be liable to all persons in- iured for three times the amount of the damage suffered. The men are at liberty to quit work any time when the decree is not satisfactory as to the amount of wages to be paid, but under penalties must not prevent others from engaging in the running of trains

an excellent means for criminals to es-
