A New Niagara Rridaa.

The famous suspension bridge at Mi agara falls, which was built i'll 1855, is to be superseded by new steel struc. ture, with an arch $50 feet long and 260 feet above she water level. "The old bridge, built by Roebling, says the Chicago Chronicle, twas one of the modern wonders Of the world, as it was the first suspension bridge built for the purpose of carrying railroad trains. The new bridge will, however, be a greater marvel of science than the old. It will have two floors, the upper for railway trains and the lower for roadway, foot walks and trolley tracks. The new bridge will be built on the exact site of the old suspension affair, but there will be no interference with traffic, which is one of its greatest marvels. The work will occupy about six months. D

of Prendergast. The marriage was to have taken place on a date shortly after the killing of MT. Harrison. all the prep arations having been made. Miss How ard has been in Europe some little time, and it was expected that she would re- turn to this city for the celebration of her marriage with Mir Parrott. But it is now understood that she has trans ferred most of her immense fortune to her future English husband.
 The marriage was a quiet affair, with but few of the Howard family present. Mir Parrott and Miss Howard met in Egypt in which country both were travelling. Mr Parrott is Q mem- Der of the firm of Parrott Bros, promi- nent members of the London Exchange, and has himself something of fortune, but has no title

GOVERNED BY WOMEN.
The Kansas City Which Is Ruled by the
 New Woman.

Women have every reason in the world to be encouraged, and the most delightful proof of their progress lies in little town of Kansas.
 The city of Gaylord, in Kansas, is not so large as New York nor so im- portant at Boston, but it is good sized place and enjoys the distinction of being the only municipality in the world that is governed entirely by women.
 This beautiful state of affairs has been in existence for an entire year, and the innovation has given great amount of satisfaction. The city is governed with honesty and ability The streets are clean, and elections are conducted in host ladylike manner, the scene at the polls being more like a social affair in private house than anything else
 The mayor, Mrs. Antoinette l.. Has, kell, is now i'll her second term, and at the last election received just twice as many votes as the opposing male candi- date. She has two sons, one F and the other years of age, and her hus. band is prosperous banker and land- owner.
 The office of city clerk is held by Miss Florence Headly, who, though still very young, is also editor of the Gaylord Herald.
 Mrs. Mary L. Foote, the police judge. was opposed ill her race for office by her husband, but defeated him by U large majority. MT. Foote, it is said, has de- cided to keep out Of politics hereafter.
 The members of the council are Mrs. Mary A. White, Mrs. Nancy Wright, Mrs. Emma A. Mitchell, Mrs. Esther Johnston and Mrs Loella Abercrombie.

Pop-Fusion in State affairs as well as National.
 Powell Clayton once said in adpo- eating fusion with the Peoples s Party in this State that it was but one step from Populism to Repub- licanism; so it seems thatlt is but one step from Demo Pop-Fuslon to Populism.
 There was no reasonable proyoea- tion or excuse for q fusion with the Poplists in this State on electors still less for fusion on 8 State ticket at the next election.
 Nevertheless there will no doubt be strong effort made two years from now in certain quarters for a fusion ticket A Congressman in the late canvass was often won't to say that the Populists were bone of our bone and flesh of our hes : We are getting dangerously near Populism when we can make such a humiliating confession. So far as our knowledge of party principles extends, there is nothing in Demoe- raey to breed Populism. The Pop ulists are mongrel breed and a mix ture between the mule and the ass. They can claim no honorable lineage from an honored and respected an cestry. No Populist ever sprung from the loins of an honest and loyal Democrat. They sprung up from God only knows where, and having grown up like the sage brush and brier bush in a sterile field, they are seeking to run this govern ment on the intellect of q common constable. Of course, there are no doubt exceptions to this elassifea- tion, but they are simply the exeep- tions that prove the rule.
 At any rate, there is nothing in the Populists in Arkansas to war rant the Democrats in fusing with them in State affairs. The Demo crats have an overwhelming major ity in Arkansas, as was proven by the late State election, and there is neither excuse nor warrant for sac rificing a part of the State officers to the fantastic, whimsical, dis, gruntled, ignorant and incompetent clements that compose the Peoples Party.
 If the Democrats would avoid fus, ion with the Popuhsts in 1898, tho Democratic press of State should speak out in powerful and un- mistakable tones against the fusion movement.

i But Few of Us Live h Paris ar Ever
 Will
 There are in Paris at least three pri.ees for everything that the market offers, and it may be reckoned as a certainty that while the Frenchman will pay the smallest of these prices a2l the English or German visitor the second. the Amer ican will pay the third wien he buys.
 There are even three prices oil the om- nibus, and so you will sometimes see the top of one of these vehicles crowded till 1t looks like Fort Lee excursion boat. the little standing room at the rear packed with people, and the inside ab- solutely empty. 1t is because of this system of three prices that it IS by no means an easy matter to estimate the cost of living in the French capital, but 1 got up early one morning and spent two or three hours in the great markets that Zola has described with so much force, and as 1 went with my landlord, who is shrewd and thrifty son of France and noticed the prices that he paid for what he got, I think that l am ill position to quote what are called ill commercial circles ''bottom figures on the eatables that we priced there.
 Horse sausages are in constant de. mand, and 1 saw cows udder cut into horrible slices and exposed for sale Outside the market old women stirred great ealdrons of thick, sayory soup, which they sold at 3 cents a plate, and In the wineshops drinks of wine or brandy could be had for from 3 to 5 cents each, according to size and quality.
 Concerning rents in Paris and it's suburbs, I was told by MT. Boyd Neel one of the principal agents i'll the town that an apartment capable of holding IL comfortable style two or three people could be had ill Paris in respectable neighborhood for from $150 to $500 6 year, but in swell localities like the Champs Elysees or the Avenue Bois de Boulogne there Is no limit to the prices that the landlords will ask. For exanr pie, an apartment ill new house with an elevator will cost from $3, 900 to $5, 900, and, as to furnished flats in the fashionable districts, they contribute largely to the paying off of the national debt.
 Ofeourse the system of tipping, which is obligatory here, adds materially to the cost of living, but great deal can be saved under this head by learning the amounts given by the French people themselves, for the natives have reduced it to fine point and know exactly, to centime, how much, or rather how little, may be offered with safety.
 It is i'll the matter of amusements that the American soiourner in Paris manages to get square with the game. There is so much to be seen for nothing, so many monuments and art galleries and places of historic interest, to say nothing of all that goes on every day in the open streets and cafes, that one does not need to go to the theaters or operas to be amused-James L. Ford in New York Journal

fer in the world Lotions, plasters. creams and cosmetics cannot make as good com. piexiou as health can They cannot hide the story of ill-health They merely ein. phasize it. Health shows i'll c1earness of eyes and skin, in redness of lips and viyac. ity of manner and expression, Disease is proved positively by the absence of these things When woman sees the indiea- tions of ill-health in the face she may with almost absolute certainty look for the cause in one or both of two conditions - consti. patton, and derangement of the organs dis. tinctly feminine. These things in them. selves are in some degsee related, and nine. tenths of all the sickness of women come from them. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Preserip. tion will cure permanently and positively any so-called female complaint n Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will cure constipa- ton. There is no reason i'll the world why a woman should not be perfectly healthy It rests with herself If she will take these truly wonderful remedies, and follow few hygienie measures, she may become per. fectly strong and healthy i'll all ways.

THE MENACE OF P0PULISM.

z
 The Democracy of Arkansas is menaced by Populism as it never was before. Heretofore the Dem scratic party, State and Congress sional, has been opposed by Repub- -Populist fusion tickets. Here tofore there has been no scheme that could be devised by the Republicans to overthrow Democracy in this State that has not found eounte- nance and support among the Pop .ulists. No language so vile, no denunciatiop so severe, no islander upont the character of our people so steeped in infamy and falsehood that did not evoke in the hills and val leys of Arkansas applause from the Populists. Then they were ready to join hands with the Republicans to overthrow all that is decent and respectable in Arkansas politics Suffering numerous defeats; seeing tlatopposition to Democracy was ,fruitless; learning that the unter- ritied hosts of Jefferson and Jackson could not be defeated even by q fu- sion of the carpet baggers of the Republican reconstruction period with the disgruntled and hetero- geneous elements composing the so- called Peoples Party, the Populists have sought other means of accom- plishing their sinister purposes. Now they seek fusion and alliance with the Democrats. For the sake of National campaign and upon a sentiment borrowed from the Pop ulists, the Democrats and Populists entered into temporary fusion arrangement. But now, if an inter- view with reporter for the Arkan- sas Democrat is to be believed, the Populists expect as result of this fusion upon electors, a coalition with the Democrats in the next State campaign and a division of the State offices on a Democratic Peoples Party ticket.
 It must be admitted that Pop ulism has made great headway in this State during the last two years. The Arkansas Gozette, formerly the State organ of the Democratic party, is now in complete control of "a Colorado Populist, and no doubt at the critical moment the Gazette will bloom forth in it's true colors and advocate Populism or "Demo-
