Editor Herald-Our farmers are
nearly through picking cotton. In
this immediate neighborhood the
crop has been much better than was
expected. There is now a heavy
top crop, but farmers generally |
agree thatilwillnot make anything.
The corn crop is not SO good as
last year, and late crops will be
short on account Of the long drOhth.
More business has been done in
our village this year than for many
years past.
The general health is good, but
we regret to write that Mrs. Angie
schilling, wife Of Rev. T. c. SCbil-

A POPULIST VOTE IS NECESSARY
10 MAKE HIN A SENATOR
WHICH is DOUBTFUL.
VIII Have the solid Republican Vote In
"s Favor, and the FuiI Democratic
Vote In Opposition to His Being
seated-wm Re Called Up
wednesday Cuban
Resolutions.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-,Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
has given notice of his intention to
call mp the Dupont election case on
Wednesday.
1t is not expected the decision of the
Senate will be reached during the
present week and the result. is as yet
very uncertain. The Republican side
of the Senate has been canvasssd with
the result of ascertaining that there
will be solid Republican vote in sup
port of the proposition to seat Mr..
Dupont, but this is one short of ma
jority, and it is not yet known
whether this vote can be obtained.
1t is Nelieved the entire Democratic
vote will be cast against Dupont. The
Republicans, therefore, rely entirely
upon securing at least n part of the
Populist vote.
The conspicuous feature of the
House proceedings this week will be
in connection with the Cuban resolu-
tion which the committee on foreign
affairs reported and which is now on
the calendar.
The fact that the Sepate resolutions
were referred to the committee indi-
Gale that the majority prefer the
House to the Senate resolutions
There has been some talk of making
the resolutions joint, Instead of con-
current, in order that the president
may be forced to approve or reject
them, but there is no probability that
this change win be made.
The remainder OF the week will be
occupied with appropriation bills.
The legislation which is under consid-
Grafton will consume two days, pos
sibly more, and the postoffice bill will
probably take up the balance of the
week
The Senate probably will pass the
agricultural appropriation bin early
the week.

THE TITLE OF MISTER.
Seeking an Explanation of Its Origin
An AntiquRrian's Views.

Did you ever try to seek an explana-
tion for the title of mister" asks the
ST. Louis Republic
AT at time when Europe, and particu-
larly England, was overrun with the
nobility and titled clerics the common
people were known only by their
Christian or baptismal names. As
time passed and certain tradesmen be-
came skillful mechanics they were
looked mp to as persons above the aver
age in intelligence. Being noble, and
yet not belonging to the nobility, they
began casting about for a title that
would be distinguishing mark. In
those days a trade was kept as a secret
and the workers were referred to as
persons who had learned n mystery.
Such persons We're soon looked upon as
being of higher rank than mere day
laborers and husbandmen and were
called "mysters," or master mysters." !"
because they We're proficient in the
particular mystery they had learned.
Those who have had the rare opportun-
ity OF reading books published in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries will
recall the oft-repeated question, What

is that mans trade or employment"
Smart the antiquarian. takes a diff
ferent view of the origin Of the term.
He says that II was adopted simply for
the sake Of the analogy 1t bears to mis-

WOMEN WHO ARE MuRpERERs.


Inmates Of the Neudorf Convent sweet,

The women OF the Neudorf convent
prison we're all so kindly in their ways,
80 peaceful ana good humOred, they diff
fered 50 completely from our precon-
ceived ideas Of criminals, that we we're
puzzled to imagine what could have
brought them into prison, says the
Cornhill Magazine. We had never a
doubt but that the ofenses were OF the
most trivial nature, and We said 30. The
superior gave us one OF Der odd, humor-
Gus smiles.
'Did you notice that woman in the
CORRIDOR" she asked "She Is Marie
Schneider"
That insignificant looking little wom-
an, who had stood aside with a gentle
deprecative smile TO allow us TO pass,
Marie Schneider Why, in any other
place one would have set her down at
once as the hard working wife of a

"And you let her stay heref'
"We have nowhere else to put her,
the Inspector who had Joined us, re-
piled. "and we don't hang women In
Austria"
Nor is she, as we soon found. the only
notoricd3 woman in the place. One Of
the prisoners is a delicate looking girl,
with large, brown eyes and golden hair
"a type Of beauty almost peculiar to
Austrians. She has a low. cooling
voice, and a singularly sweet, innocent
expression.
What on earth can that girl have
done to be sent here?" / whispered.

ly; "set a house on fire In the hope of
killing a man with his wife and five
children"
The girl must have had extraordinar-

heard what he said and she gave him a
glance such as | hope never to see again

cal; had there been a knife within

Several of the prisoners are In the

all degrees OF guilt there, In fact, and
all ages, from girls of 1G to women OF
nearly 80. And they all live together
on terms of perfect equality, for there
are no distinctions OF rank there-no
one is better or worse than her neigh
Dor. When the convent door closes be-
hind them they have done, for the time
being, not only with the outside world,
but with their own past. They start
life afresh, as it were.
