 This colony is much excited over this news of an impending war, and the opinion is that it will never submit to any other rule than the present one. As this question has been pending now for many years, President Cleveland's utterances seem quite extraordinary. In ease of war, which I do not for a. moment believe is coming, Jamaica and St. Lucia are so strongly fortified and garrisoned. and the British men-ef- war in these waters are so numerous that there could be no satisfactory re- suit Venezuela could never invade Demerara, for there are no roads, no provisions, only forest forest and aw- fully dismal and lonely too.

can ever hope to have. It is impossi- ble for man who wishes to be leader in his party to succeed unless he oulti- yates the women in Washington society, They can acquaint him with points in politics of which he would never dream, which they reach almost intultively. Besides, how infinitely man gains by being in the society of well-hred wo- men!
 Of course every wise man will agree in this matter with that true man of the world Mir, Depew, It is possible that if there were no women in Wash ington and no Society but the society of men, tobacco, alcohol and cards, there might be more work done there. But it wouldn't he as well done as it is now and there wouldn't be half as much fun in doing it.

THE ELEETING SHOT. Some of Its Facts and Fancies. Written for the JOURNAL AND c URlER.l ATLANTEAN DAYS.

They called it "Womans Day"-the
 last day of the Great Fair and of the
 year 1895. And it was Woman with a
 capital w. But after all, when one
 thinks of it. every day had been wo-
 mans day, to a great degree, since,
 from the first, the women exposition spirit and enthusiasm seconded the
 work of the men.
 It was not in the Woman's building alone, or in it's annex, that their work, both executive and practical, was ap- parent. Almost everywhere something
 of their handiwo1k could be seen, in all educational exhibits, in manufactur-
 es and liberal arts, inventions, fine arts, and forestry. Tn the Negro building, wcmens work from cake and preserves
 to art needlework. farm and school ex-
 hibits, and newspaper, showed how
 much had been attained since enamel patton added the incentive of personal freedom to their natural capabilities. And everywhere all they who looked at the work of women, in any form, pro- nOunCGu IL SOOu
 Not merely by way of compliment then was that last day called Woman's Day. It was the recognition, fairly
 won, of their ability. Possibly, too, of that favor accorded them of old time
 that of having the last word. Because it was the last day the crowd of sightseers was larger than at any time for two weeks before, except per haps on Christmas Day. The chilling
 winds that the day before had snapped the flags to ribbons had ceased to blow
 the rain was over and gone; cheery sunshine illuminated everything and 1 the air was crisp and bracing. There
 was little to hint that with the last l sigh of the expiring year the Fair, too,
 would be no more. A brilliant episode i in the brilliant history of a stirring and ambitious city, it would wind up gloriously, leaving many to lament it's | demise, all the more heartily, perhaps, ! because of this last delightful, perfect f day. But people seemed to be more ex- cited than soTrowful There was no audible note of farewell save from the
 streets of Cairo" where one red-fezZed. | pettieoated youth, mingled a word at 1 parting with his recommendations Of i that gaunt and battered ship of the | desert of which he chanced to be skip i per. Thus he chanted from stentorian l lungs:

L.Ig IND SENSE.

Members of fraternal societies all over the country will be interested in a de- cision which has been rendered by the Supreme court of California defining members of such societies. A member of an Odd Fellow lodge, to whom sick benefits were denied. applied for an in- vestigating committee. He refused to appear before the committee, however, and also declined to appear before the lodge to answer to a charge of violation of its rules For this he was expelled. The lower court granted writ of man. damus for his restoration to member ship but this was overruled on appeal. The relation between fraternal orders and their members the Supreme court says, is strictly one of contract entered into in writing at the time the member joins the lodge and subscribes to it's rules and regulations, and if he has thereby waived any legal rights, such as the right of appeal from it's orders. he must not be granted relief from his own voluntary contract by the courts, but must avail himself of the opportu- nitIes which the rules and regulations of his lodge afford It is only after the member has pursued unavailingly all of the means provided by the laws of the order for the redress of his wrongs that he may apply to the courts.

wives, These affairs are extremely dainty. On wire-like fillet that binds the head securely OCT the crown, rather low toward the forehead are set seven graded jewels. The central one Is the largest, the others growing smaller and smaller till the little end ones are hardly more than pinheads of light. Thes fillets form part of the pretty head dresses serving to bind in place delicate lace that is gathered in a be- coming Charlotte Corday frill about the face. This same idea is carried out in rhinestone set fillets, and the chief diff ference is in the cost.
 The tam shape is well adapted to theater use when 1t is carried out i'll silk, velvet or lace. Such are as pretty as can be, and to wear theater cap is to be a little more in line with the latest thing than to wear a theater bon net. Such caps are made of brilliant silk, and are often heavily embroidered all over with>iewels and gold, making one sparkle of themselves. X very rich buckle catches down one side, an aig- rette, reinforced with lace or ribbon, gives the characteristic jaunty up-start and there you are, Such hats ohstruct nobody's view and are as becoming as they can be, so there is no reason for not accommodating the man behind and ones self at the same time.

Russia, whose calendar is twelve days behind ours, proposes to change to the Gregorian calendar after the beginning of the new century. The authorities have not yet decided whether to jump over the thirteen days at once, or to accomplish their object gradually by emitting the first twelve leap years of the century. It would then require forty-eight years to bring about the change.

'''777'7 FASHION NOTES.

Even in children's fashions one meets with references to the period of the Louis, the era that is just now having big influence in woman's dress mat ters. The designer of the little girls hat shown to-day gravely assured the writer that it was in the style of Louis XVI, It was plain to be seen that it was of beige felt, trimmed in front with Q drapery of beige and blue figured sura'h, forming number of loops that stood up at the side and in front lay flat on the moderately wide brlm.

Progress is being steadily made in electric tanning. Herr Folsing, in a recent communication to one of the German technical papers, reports that he had worked out a method for thick skins and heavy hides which re- duires only from three to six days. Electrodes of nickelled copper are hung up in the solution in the tanning pit. The color of the leather is not quite satisfactory if commercial unpurified tanning extract is used. Herr Folsing employs an oak extract, with a little hemlock extract added, and this he clears and decolorizes by a special cIectrolytie process. As a result, the color of the leather is exceedingly strong and bright. Heavy hides, which would require year by the old process, take only six days; while heavy cow hides take five days. and light cowhides only seventy-two hours. These are re- ,narlzable results, but one would feel more confidence in them if they had been corroborated by other testimony than that of the inventor.

preme court has set up a standard for naturalization which ought to be uni versally adopted. After refusing to naturalize a number of would-be citi- zens, Judge Pryor said: T shall refuse to naturalize any more persons or to admit them to citizenship unless they have read the constitution of the United States and can speak the English lan- guage, which is the language of this country. Persons who cannot fill these requirements need not come before the court. They will only waste their time by so doing.'
