The Qualification for the Presidency.
 (FrOm the Baltimore Sum-

The insstence by the opponents of Governor Morton's nomination. for the
 presidency that he is too old raises an-
 other interesting point of presidential
 tradition, and tempts us to consider the several questions of age as a qualitica- ton and limitation of human achieve ment. The governor of New York will
 have just entered his seventythird
 year when the republican national con- vention meets next June, so that, if he were nominated and elected, he would
 begin his presidential term of service within few weeks of his Seventy-third birthday Friends of the rival candi- dates of his party say that this is too old, and allege that there is a presiden- tial tradition against the selection of man at that ripe age to fill the office. It is true that the oldest of our Presi- dents at the time of his Inauguration was William Henry Harrison, who was sixty-eight. Next to him in point of
 age was James Buchanan, who was in-
 augurated at sixty-six, and Zachary dS TOT tOHleS next anu ut DSSeth HIS tenm at sixty-five. John Adams and Andrew Jackson were both sixty-two years of age at the time they entered the office, and all the rest of our presi- dents were inaugut ated while they were between fifty and sixty years of age, with the exception of Franklin Pierce, who was forty-nine years old, Ulysses s. Grant, who was forty-seven, and Grover Cleveland, who was forty-eight. But it is not denied that Governor Nor ton is still a vigorous man, whose phys teal powers are apparently quite equal to the discharge of the onerous duties
 of the executive office of the Empire State. and his friends insist that this is a sufficient guarantee of his physical ability to sustain the labors of the pres idential office.
 While it is true that no man of his years has ever been inaugurated as president of the United States, it is not true that no man of his years has ever | been called to peri form public service of a similarly arduous character. There have been many older men So honOred and burden5d in this as well as in other | countries. Cardinal Newman is still

community, and the ladies are to be most warmly congratulated upon their brilliant work, but one thing surely is needful and we take the liberty to urge in behalf of the public chat the Fly perion be secured for the Dana and Gordon evenings, as only the Hyperion will hold all that will rush to hear these two noted men. The big armory would no doubt be filled, but it cannot oe ob- tained owing to the recent ruling on the subject. The fine hall of the Historical Society's beautiful building, adequate it is for all ordinary occasions in the needs of the society, would be all too small for these two events in question, and if funds aue needed for the purpose of renting the theater in order to add to the assurance of the financial success of the enterprise, no doubt they will be forthcoming, Charles A, Dana and General Gordon are two of our most noted Americans of to-day. The editor of the Sun, which shines for all, had an intimate acquaintance with Abraham Lincoln and the members of his cabinet, and a. wide experience as Assistant Sec retary of War of the days that tried mems souls when the great civil war ragged and all will want to hear him tell of Abraham Lincoln and His Cah- met" General Gordon is the well known brave Georgian who fought so gallantly for the lost cause and rose to distinc- ton in the Confederate army. There is to-day no truer American no more pa triotic American, and with the ranks of the famous Confederate generals, like those of the Union forces, so decimated by death, there is now none who is bet ter qualified from actual battle service to tell of "The Last Days of the Con- federacy" and there is no orator in the South to-day who can equal him in thrilling and vivid descriptions of the wartime days. The country has not for gotten his brave words when the nobs in the great railroad strike threatened ruin and devastation in Chicago and the West generally, nor the gallant stand he took in defense of freedom against anarchy. By all means, ladies, let us have the big hall

der have straps over the shoulders. Women have finally made up their minds that the shoulder exposed with out any relief does look bare. Then a low neck, of the sort shown in to-days illustration, is entirely permissible so it will be seen that personal taste has quite as much to do in this matter as in many others.
 This dress shown is of velours dotted with satin brocade figures, and is cut princess with fitted front and back. It fastens invisibly at the side, and has a full unstiffened slctrt, lined with white satin and finished with a lace frill in side. Its V-shaped cut-out is partly filled in with gtuipure lace and draped lace epaulettes fall over the sleeves to- ward front and back. There is no stiff fening in the full elbow sleeves, and the velvet is draped over the bust and caught with a rhinestone buckle
 A round evening waist off at the shoulders and little soiled in the back will make over beautifully and at very little cost in this new way; black net is made high necked, a high stock of ma- terial to match the bodice holding 1t at the throat. This' net is drawn down in front to open in a long point. Many bodices have this open effect in these days. The bodice may show here with the neck exposed above to the stock, or a new front may be set in. The net is fitted in at the waist or a little below by a belt, and below the belt it hangs in coat skirts to the hips. The entire ef- feet of the bodice is thus altered to come into harmony with ths coat-fash- ions, and will wear with any skirt.

Cecil Rhodes has no private life," says an English admirer, "scorntng delights, he lives lercely l9boyious days, his only pleasure in his work-a self denying human steam engine, always travelling at full speed, in tow of q lengthy train of responsibilities, into an unknown region of possibilities. whose horizon continually recedes. His ambi- tions do not turn toward social distinc- tlon, but rather to place in the na- tion's remembrance as Q faithful and useful servant" Somewhat different is the following estimate of him by the London Saturday Review; Cecil Rhodes is strong man, of the kind that is never finished by a single stroke, And he is strong with the strength of coarse. ruthless, greedy egotism, the strokes of whose piston-rod force the minds and the money of weaker men into it's reservoir. As he was at Oriel twenty years ago, so he is at Cape Town to-day-lonely, self-absorbed irritable, and not to be relied upon. He hates women, whom he regards as unneces- sary impediments in the campaign, and he has no idea of friendship; he only recognizes instruments to be used and enemies to be dealt with. Success ac- centuated his defects to the point of disease, and made him so irritable, so sef-absorbed and so insolent that none but parasites could live with him"
