SMALL GIRLS ARE POPULAR.
"DeGr, You're So TALL" They Say,
aud the Man IS YatSI.

Kansas CITY Star.
The short girl has many advantages
over the tall one, She has to go through
life looking up and nothing is so becOm-
ing to eyes as that. Her lashes show
more and so does her hair. There are
curves Of cheek, chin and throat that
look their prettiest to man who must
look down to them.
A small girl is more easily held and
more easily kissed. 1t is nicer to have
to lift her face up by the chin, and
it is more epicuresn and satisfactory to
reach down to the upturned lips.
1t is comfortable when you hold girl
on your knee to have her head just come
to your shoulder, instead OF having it
hang over-surplus, as II we're. Every
thing about small girl is likely to be q
provocation-the Unexpectedly tiny hand,
the distracting morsels Of feet. the little
head, the little nose.
A small girl can be fascinating even in
a temper, she can be delicious when she
cries. she can be lovely when she pouts,
and none of these moods sits we'll on q
big woman. Then; too. the man in love
10 inclined to pet names, and he wants to
call his girl "Blrdy," whether she weighs
200 or not; yet he is not insensible to the
appropriateness of the title when given
to real little thing.
A man likes to feel big. by comparison.
at least. A really large man does not
object to seeming almost q giant beside
the girl Of his heart, and It iS almost
necessary to the short mans vanity that
he shall seem big to the little creature he
is going to marry
1t isvSry fetching to have ones girl say;
Please, dear, my neck gets so tired
you're so tall" Don't you know what
that meansi Well. get q bit Of q girl
and you will Ind out. On the whole, the
small girl has the best OF II.

New YORK, March 1s.-George Van

and erected by Richard NJ. Hunt. As
an exhibition of landscape garden
ing Biltmore is unsurpassed, and
the architect has made buildings which,
for their respective uses, excel any
buildings in the world. All of these
houses and departments which they
represent are under the supervision Of
experts. They include Germans,
Frenchmen, Italians, Englishmen and
Americans, the payroll embracing
more than 900 names, many of them
men of science from universities and
all of them having superior knowl-

N,w YORK, March 1S.-Mr. William

par;s referring to recent statements
=. The effect that consolidation of
- Panama and Nicaraguan COM
-an;es had been agreed upon, or was
dor negotiation, made the following
statement;
81 confirm the fact that have just
s,od with Secretary of State Olney a
sorr,aI declaration in behalf of the
,e,v Panama Canal Co., that there does
not exist nor is there in contemplation
any agreement, arrangement or plan
Cor the consolidation or acquisition of
The Panama Canal Co. with or by the
Nicaragua Canal Co., under any form
~ ownership or control, and that there
has not been any negotiation to that
end. Without commenting in any way
mon the Nicaragua project, my client
uneouiyocally denies that there is any
foundation in fact or in design for the
minors referred to.
LAS the government of the United
states has chartered the Maritime
Canal Co. of New York and Uruguay,
and has given it government counte-
nance it becomes our duty to advise this
government of these facts, that there
might be no possible misapprehension
by the government and the people OF
the position of the new Panama Canal
Co. In view of these illusions to the
new Panama Canal Co., few facts
concerning it may be of interest
1T was popularity supposed that the
new Panama Canal Co. of Paris is a
governmental organization. This is
an error. 1t is private corporation
organized about two years ago under
the general laws of the republic OF
France, just as any business
corporation may be organized un.
der the general laws of any
state of our Union, and which
are open to all citizens alike.
unsustained by governmental aid OF
patronage. 1t is to be distinguished
from the old Panama Canal Co. in
every sense. 1t is an entirely new and
solvent association, taking over the
concessions with adequate capital and
different personnel. It's directory is
composed of the representatives of
the strongest financial institutions of
France, prosecuting the enterprise
purely as a business undertaking.
ut is also "a popular error to treat
the new Panama Canal Co. solely as a
French enterprise. Being purely "a
private undertaking and having no
political character, the people of the
United States will be afforded fair op-
portuEity for equal partnership. 1t
is decided that the canal shall be neu-
tralized, as was done in the case of the
Suez canal. That is, the nations con-
eerned in its operations may, by com.
mon consent, make this neutral wa
terway for the commerce of the world.
Thus the United States can secure the
great advantages of the canal without
financial obligations or serious polit-
zeal responsibilities.

COUNTING THE COST.

The Losses and Cost that Spain Admita
in the Years War In Cuba.
New YORK, March 1s.-Mr. Balda-
sano, the consul-general of Spain, has
received the following information
from Spain:
when the rebellion commenced in
Cuba in February, 1895, Spain had 49,
600 men on the island Nine expedi-
lions have been sent, with a grand
total of III. 795 men of all ranks. The
mortality for all ranks from March /.
1895, to January 81, 1896, was as fol-
lows: Generals, 3; coionels, 4; lieuten-
ant-colonels, 3; majors, II: captains,
81; first lieutenants, l01; second lieu
tenants, "a; chaplains, 9; sergeants, 80;
corporais, 161; soldiers, 1894. Total.
3,s77
Causes of death--Killed in action.
ESQ; died from wounds, 1l9; from vel
low fever, 3,l9O; died of ordinary dis
eases, 2S2.
The cost of the war in round fig
ures is given as follows: February "a.
1895, to February "A, 1896, army in
Cuba, $4,000 900; navy and war sup
plies, etc, Slo.oOO,O0O Total, $50, OoO,-
600.
For four months past 100, 900 men
have been in Cuba. After March 81.
1896, 1870, 600 men will be on the island.
The increase in the army will mean an
increase in expenditures. The esti-
mate for the current year is $75, 900, 600.
The cost for this year and next, $780,
100000, with the $50, 900, 600 already
disbursed, means $500, 600 Up to
date Spain has not made any net loan
on Cuban account. While authorized
to borrow $75, 100000, she has not
availed herself of it."
