PERSONAL

Sir Henry Irving is one of the best
swordsmen in England. He has practiced
scientific swordsmanship for many years.
One of his fencing masters was Prof. Nc
Laren, now of Olympia.
Mrs. Thomas D. Calkins. San Fran
cisco, in the last few days has invented
twenty-seven household articles, among
the number a baking-pan, with adjusta-
BILE partitions, a pinless clothes rack, and
a self-adjusting towel ring.
Mrs Orminston Chant, who is one of
the women who led the crusade against
English music halls, has taken new road
to attain her object. She has written
songs which she is trying to get sung on
the music hall stages, and which she
thinks will do the frequenters of the
places much good.
Mrs. Bradley Martin is one of the lead
ers of society in the brilliant American
colony in Paris Her social functions are
usually elaborate, and this winter the
doings and sayings of the English-speak-
ing people will be fully chronicled in
new journal devoted exclusively to that
kind of literature.
Soon after the marriage of the Crown
Prince of Italy to Princess Helene Of
Montenegro, the former presented TO his
brother-in-law, Prince Danilo of Monte
negro, a sword bearing an inscription,
which, translated, means: Victor EN-
manuel, Hereditary Prince of Italy, to
Danilo, Hereditary Prince of Montene-
gro" Prince Danilo, on his side, pre-
scented to the Prince of Naples a magnii-
cent collection of Montenegro and Turk
ish arms, richly fashioned and mounted.
Bishop Curtis Catholic, formerly of
Wilmington, Del, says that he once went
on a yachting cruise, wearing a rough
yachting costume. An Irishman, observ-
ing him changing his clothes as the boat
drew near shore, and discovering that
he wore scapulars said, in a rather graf
flied tone:4 ooh, see that you are Cath
Ollie" The bishop nodded and said, indif-
ferently: oh yes; / am a Catholic"
The man continued to watch him, and
he. gravely put on his Roman collar. "Oh,"
said the Irishman, Il see you're a priest"
The bishop, who had difficulty in main
tanning his gravity, answered: Yes, I
am a priest" The man fixed his eyes upon
him with more interest than ever, and
Bishop Curtis then proceeded to put on
his purple scarf. The Irishman started
with establishment and exclaimed: why,
L see you are a bishop The bishop said
quietly: Yes, am Bishop Curtis and
the man fell on his knee and asked the
bishops blessing.

Does Butler speak for His Party.

DOCS Butier speak Tor HIS Pnrtys
Does Senator Marion Butler, chairman
OF the populist national committee, speak
for his party? If so, it becomes a matter
of great interest to know under what
conditions those democratic leaders who
favor the free coinage of silver purpose
carrying on the silver agitation. In the
last number of his paper Mr. Butler,
speaking of the democratic leaders who
committed the democratic party at Chi
cago to free silver, said: 1--WE are done
with them now and forever and also
with any man who seeks to lead the peo-
pie hereafter under any standard that
may bear the name or have the smirch
of the word democrat"
This means. of course that the popu-
lists will not again join with the demo-
Gratis in behalf of free silver coinage.
They intend to have their own platform
and ticket. They will be glad to receive
recruits but all who come to them must
do so as populists.
Without the assistance of the populists
what chance would the democratic party
have for carrying the country on a plat
form similar to that adopted at Chicago?
Those democratic leaders who controlled
the national democratic convention at
Chicago cannot look forward to the tri-
umph Of silver in 1900, even though they
should succeed in getting control of the
democratic party in that year, because
they could not unite all the silver forces
in the support of one ticket-that is, they
could not unite them unless they could
merge the democratic party into the pop
ulist party.
1t is evident that there could be no
victory for silver if the silver forces were
divided. The silver forces were united
this year, and silver was defeated The
chances are that silver will lose rather
than gain ground during the next four
years.
The reason we call attention to this
matter at this time is this: Mr.. Bryan
says he has already begun the campaign
of 1900. He evidently thinks he will be the
leader of the silver forces at that time
If he should be- would he announce him
self as a populist or a democrat? Mr.
buIleI says d popullSL VIII leaQ the pOpu-
list party. Can Mr.. Bryan carry the
democratic party or any considerable part
of it to the populist party? We do not
think he can. That being the case, Mr.
Bryan doesn't start out on his 1900 cam
paign with encouraging prospects of sue
cess. He may lead a faction of the dem
ocratic party, but that faction would not
make much of a showing in the campaign
1t seems to US that Mr.. Bryan is so
anxious to again enjoy the cheers of a
crowd that he has not given the political
situation much thought He ought to
study Mr.. Buffers announcement care
fully. 1t would be folly for him to waste
four of the best years of his life to no
purpose.

Houdin's Little scheme Failed.

Robert Houdin, the prestidigitator, who
for many years was recognized as the
greatest magician of his time, was the
inventor of the mind reading trick,
which his followers are still using effec-
lively even to this day, says the Spring
field Republican. Houdin and his wife,
who assisted him in his performances, de-
Vised an elaborate and intricate series of
questions, each of which when pronounced
suggested the proper answer to be made
The care with which this system was ar
ranged may be inferred from the fact
that Houdin had memorized 36S different
ways to ask questions of his wife, and
each question furnished her a clew TO
the answer she should make. Leaving
the stage, Houdin would step down into
the audience and request a spectator to
hand him any object whatsoever. Then
he would ask his wife, who remained on
the stage, what the object was, and she
would instantly name it. He would ques-
ton her further about it, and she would
answer inquiries accurately.
For instance, if the magician asked,
What object do 1 hold in my hand?" his
wife instantly understood from the form
of the question that the answer should
be "a silver watch" If he asked What
object do l have in my hand?" the an
sWer should be "A gold watch"
hearsal in private Houdin and his wife
were ready to introduce the trick to the
public, They did so in Detroit. After the
audience had been informed as to what
the performers proposed to do, Houdin
stepped down from the stage to make the
test. He picked out a farmer sitting in
an aisle seat and said: 'Will you kindly
give me some object for a moment-any
object Observation-Disclosures you may
happen to have in your pocket?'
The farmer instantly complied. Houdin
glanced at the article obviously, shook
his head and returned to the platform.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said Il re-
greet to find that the mental and electrical
conditions tonight are not satisfactory
for our experiment, and we shall have to
postpone it,"
AS soon as the performance was over
Houdin hurried to the box Office and in
tercepted the farmer as he was passing
out
Say he remarked, what was that
thing you handed me tonight"
"Nothin' but a buckeye" replied the
granger. i've carried that one goin' on
seven year now. Sure cure for rheumatis.
If you're bothered that way I'd advise
you to git one"
That night Houdins list of 36S questions
was expanded into $50.

A GrewsOme Counting.

A countryman entered the office of a
dealer in monuments, says the New York
Journal.
Il want a stone to put at the grave of
my wife" he said.
"Aabout what size and price?"
Il don't know. Susan was a good wo-
man. A trihe sharp, mebbe, at times. but
she was a good woman and never got tired
of working. Just seemed to sort of fade
away. She brought me d tidy sum when
1 married her. and noW I want to put up
a stone that her children and me kin be
proud off,
Did she die recently?" asked the dealer,
sympathetcally.
Not so very 1t will be five years next
month. I thought to put up a stone soon
er, but I've been too busy Now I've got
around to it, and want one right away"
"Well, here's a book of designs. Select
what you think will suit you
II don't know much about such things,
and you are in the business. I'd ruther
you would take $50 and do the best you
can. I want sumthin' snowy. I'll tell you
how it is. and then you'll know the kind.
1 want to marry the widow Scroggs, and
heerd she said that ] was too mean to even
put a stone at the grave of my first wife,
when she brought me all my property.
Put UP stone that will catch the eye of
a wilder and write nice verse on it. If
$50 amt enough and you are sure a leetle
more will help me with the wilder put il
on, and I'll make it all right soon as mar
ry her She's got heap Of property, and
while it seems lot of money to put into a
stone, l reckon the chances are with it,"
And the sorrow-stricken widower paid $50
and inquired where he could get present
cheap that would suit widow.

The NIendicants.
From the London weekly S

From the London Weekly sun.
We are as mendicants who wait
Along the roadside in the sun;
Tatters of yesterday and shreds
OF morrow clothe us every one.
And some are dotards, who believe
And glory in the days of old;
While some are dreamers, harping still
Upon an unknown age of gold.
Hopeless or witless! Not one heeds,
AS lavish Time comes down the way,
And losses in the suppliant hat
One great new-minted gold to-day.
But there be others, happier far,
The vagabondish sons of God,
Who know the players and the flowers,
And care not how the world may plod.
They idle in the traffic lands,
And loiter thro the woods with spring,
To them the glory of the earth
Is but to hear blackbird sing.
They, too, receive each one his day;
But their wise hearts know many things
Beyond the eating of desire
Above the dignity of kings.
One l remember his coin,
And, laughing, tipped it in the air;
But when two strolling pipe players
Came by, he tossed it to the pair.
Spendthrift of joy, his childish heart
Danced to their wild, outlandish bars;
Then supperless he laid him down
That night, and slept beneath the stars.

silent in Respect to. wheat.

Why is it that the silverite papers in
this state have nothing to say about the
price of wheat? We have watched for
some deliverance from them, with the hope
that they would explain why it is that
wheat has reached almost a dollar a
bushel, while the price of silver has moved
downward.
Everybody remembers that prior to the
beginning of the advance in the price of
wheat they insisted that the low price of
wheat was due to the low price of silver,
and that an ounce of silver always had
and always would buy bushel of wheat.
They are not quite sure now probably that
they know anything about the silver ques-
ton, so far as it relates to the price of
wheat.
1t was amusing to notice the reasons
they gave during the campaign for the ad-
vance in the price of wheat. They de-
clared that the gold bugs had cornered
the wheat market, and were putting up
the price in order to influence the election
against silver. When they found that
that explanation didn't have any effect
with intelligent men, they asserted that
the price of wheat was advancing because
of the promising prospect of the election
of Mr.. Bryan.
None of these explanations, however.
was the true one. The price advanced be-
cause of the greater demand for wheat.
Silver had nothing to do with it. Silver
has nothing more to do with the price of
wheat than the rise and fall of the tides
have. Since the election the price of
wheat has continued to advance, show
ing that neither silver nor the gold bugs
have had anything to do with 1t. The
New York Sun, speaking of this matter.
says: "A very noisy and mischief-making
combination of the deluder and deluded.
the humbug and the jackass, should be
silenced for good by the recent transac-
tions in wheat"
They appear to have been silenced. Not
a chirp has been heard from them re-

The Presidents Cuban policy.

The rumors of war between this coun-
try and Spain which have been so indus
triously circulated within the last few
days have no foundation. The admins.
tration has no information of a purpose
Of Spain 10 pick a quarrel with the United
States, and 1t is certain that the Presi-
dent has no intention of changing his
policy OF non-interference with the war
in Cuba
Spain would not want trouble with this
country unless she became satisfied that
she could not re-establis her authority ia
Cuba. In that event she might seek
war with the United States to hide her
humiliation. She would much rather have
1t understood that she lost Cuba because
of our interference than that she could
not conquer the insurgents. Besides, if
she should admit that she could not put
down the rebellion she would likely have
in Spain that is anxious to try a republ-
can form of government.
Spain is not ready, however, to admit
that she cannot maintain her authority in
CUBA, The people are coming to the as
sistance of the government with an en-
thusiasm that is surprising The loan
which the bankers of Europe refused to
take the people are taking. With a COM
paratively full treasury Spain will make a
supreme effort to crush the Cuban insur-
gents She may succeed, but the chances
are she viii not
The rumors of Interference by the United
States in behalf of the insurgents, are set
afloat by sympathisers with the Cubana,
and very strong pressure is being
brought to bear upon the President TO
take some step that will give the Cuban
patriots encouragement. The President,
however, will not change his policy.
There is nothing he could do to assist the
insurgents that would not amount to Il
hostile act towards friendly nation. He
seems to be determined to maintain a
strict neutrality and in that he is sup
ported by the great majority of the peo-
pie. War is not desired, and 1t is quite
certain that we should have war with
Spain, If we gave assistance to the Cuban
insurgents. Congress may take a some
what different view from that entertained
by the President, but as neither political
party has anything to gain at the present
time by helping Cuba, the probabilities
are that the wisdom of the Presidents
policy will not be seriously questioned.

Cheerful Outlook.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem.).

The outlook is cheerful enough. The
season of the year is the season for active
business. The factories, which employ so
large a portion of the people, show every
disposition to resume work, and, in point
of fact, many factories all over the
country which have been closed are now
opening their doors, the fires once more
are lighted and the wheels are beginning
to turn. The increased prices of wheat
and cotton have cheered the farmer and
given him a brighter outlook than has
been presented TO him for many years.
1t is "A time, therefore. for the people to
look forward with hope and confidence,
and not to look backward with useless
regrets and repinings. Let the people all
pull together for the public welfare and
let not him who putteth his hand to the
pillow look back.
