COMPARATIVELY HAPPY.

Such members Of the community as can be
induced to listen are informed with increasing
frequency and vehemcnce the weeks rcvolve
toward election that they have been deceived
and are highly indignant. The deception al
legged relates TO the municipal government, and
the Indignation is Oh account Of the shocking
msmana cement Of public affairs. Except for
these announcements Of misery and rage 1t would
probably be assumed that the people of New
York. were feeling fairly WELL the temperature
being comfortable, business somewhat improved,
the streets tolerably clean. the public peace in
decent state Of preservation, and public servants

are erroneous and that the citizens Of this town

inclination to boil ere long. If this is the case

casual examination OF the list OF Tammany dis

sages to the effect that terrible massacre Of

have been, on the whole, so few OF these local
outbreaks of native fanaticism TO deplore' since
the imperial authorities are evidently powerless
to maintain order in the provinces or to anord
any security to life and property. Thls condi-
ton Of affairs is likely to continue for some Tune
longer. and it is therefore incumbent upon the

Although strikes are, as rule. to be con-
demned as calculated to impede rather than to
promote proper understanding between the
employers and their employees. yet the lockout
of the journeymen talors in this city and Brook
lyn has aroused good deal Of sympathy on the
part Of the public. There is scarcely any branch
of industry which Is miseraby rcmunerated,
or that exacts such vast amount Of labor in
return for so small an amount Of pay. Consid-
cradle satisfaction, therefore, will be caused by
the news that very many Of the clothing con-
tractors have acceded to the by no means exag-
gerated demands Of the strikers, with the result
that by tomorrow many of the latter will be
back at work under happier and more advan-
tageous conditions than heretofore.

wandering prince renouncing a destroyed
throne, which he could but feebly hope
to recover, but it is perhaps of more
than passing interest, as it removes the
last royalist obstruction, however futile,
which the past has left in the pathway
of the third French republic.
Louis Philippe, DUO d'Orleans, is a
son of the late Comte de Paris and a
great grandson of Louis Philippe, the
King Bourgeois, from whom by virtue
of descent he based his claim to the
French throne. He was born at York
House, Twickenham, England, in 1869.
His mother was Princess Marie Isabel
la, daughter of the Due de Montpelier.
Born in exile, he was the heir to po-
litical Inheritance of a purely platonic
nature Without knowledge or expert
ence in politics, without standing in the
high French aristocracy, which could
not forget or forgive his bourgeois ORR
gin, without moral or material support
from the rich bourgeois who constituted
the stronghold of his great grandfather,
King Louis Philippe, and unknown to
the mass of French people, except pos
sibly for two incidents, which were not
creditable to him, the young pretendeI
was i'll equipped in his hopeless task
of establishing the Orleanist dynasty
in the face Of the growing popularity
and stability of the republic. He wise
~ therefore throws up the royal sponge.
The first of the two incidents referred
to occurred when he attained his major
ity in 1890. In fragrant violation of tho
law expelling his family from France,
he went to Paris and made a silly at
tempt to force his service in the army
The next was his scandalous peregrina-
tons i'll the various capitals of Europe
in the wake of the exotic prima donna

disguise of her valet, and his subse-
quent appearance as correspondent in

bellion on General McClellan's staff

most comprehensive commentaries that
have ever been published on the Ameri-
can civil war.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 17.-Mrs. Emile
Charlotte Langtry will tod ~ through her
attorneys, Munn 81 McPlke, says the
Examiner, f an action for divorce from
her husband, Edward Langtry, in the
superior court Of Lake county, where
the famous Jersey Lily has considerable
property. Her grounds for divorce from
Mr.. Lang'ry are specified as ds-ertion
and failure to provide for his wife aud
daughter, a girl of IA years.

there is no community property, and re-
quests that the custody of the Guild

Several days ago dispatches from New

Hummel of that city had m lIled 10 Damn
s. McPike papers to he filed in court
asking for a divorce on behalf of the
Jersey Lily. When seen upon the sub
iecU Messrs Dunn & McPike ssemei re-
luctant to say anything about the case.

are to be filed, Mr. McPIke declares
there is nothing to conceal
Attorney McPike says Mrs Langtry is
expected to return to her hume in Lake
county soon as she has grown very weary
of her histrionic ventures. The place
will be made the center for a gay throng
and will become the rendezvous for peo-
pie of distinction.
From this it is believed that Mrs.
Langtry has definitely decided to aban-
don the stage. 1t is not known that she
contemplates a new matrimonial venture
if her prayer for release from the bonds
which unite her to Edward Langtry be
granted. She is expected to arrive in
San Francisco within ak weeks.

ITO an Aspiring Novelist.I


MY DEAR Miss LoLLA-Replying to
that it is not SO difficult as you seem to
think to become successful novelist
that is, provided you can manipulate a
pen OF typewriter. You ask anxiously
about spelling. Have no fears regarding
that. The proofreader attends to it. Style,
construction and grammar are equally
lacking in Importance All that you need
is incident Have your hero and heroine
meet in some unusual way. For instance,
let your hero drop from the moon and fall
into q geyser in the Yellowstone National
park. The heroine Ga princess at the least)
is giving an afternoon tea to a group Of
cowboys in tho immediate vicinity. The
hero is spouted up from the geyser, grabs
hold Of the basket of ballOn that is sail
ing overheard and is not at all surprised to
find that it contains the villain. The hero
and villain have d duel at short range in
the balloon, for the possession of the para
chute which hangs from the car land
which the hero recognizes as an umbrella
stolen from him in Australia). The hero
wounds villain. secures parachute, drops
into the lap of the princess and asks, "Do
you wonder why L came $40, 900 miles to
see you?'' This is merely to start you and
the events set forth should not occupy
more than chapter. The rest Of the story
will suggest itself to you, however. Your
only care must be to put in an incident
every other sentence. Permit me in ad-
vance to hail you as the novelist of the
century. Truly yours.

The extreme selfishness of Wichita is
shown in the fact that she never made
any complaint about the prohibitory law
as long as she was permitted to violate
it with impunity. She vo,ed almost with
out intermission with the party which
stood for the enforcement CT the law, but
just as soon as an attempt is made to
make it apply there as in other parts of
the state great howl is raised. Why
should an exception be made in Wich-
ita's case? The taxpayers of other cities
have been paying their money to sustain
the law. Are we to have no laws except
such as can be enforced without ex-
pense?
