REGISTRATION SUITS US.

The Republican papers, particularly
the esteemed Dispatch, are whistling
to keep their courage up over the fig
ures Of the first day of registration.
The great increase over the number
registered at the same time in pre-
vious elections is a surprise to all
1t is partly due, no doubt, to the fact
that both conventions had already
been held, and so the attention of
voters had been directed in a concrete
and forcible way to the necessity of
registering. In other years 1t has
taken all the efforts of the press and cf
canvassing committees to get the
voters out to register. But this Is
probably not the whole explanation.
1t is hardly doubtful, we think, that
the voters Of st. Paul are more inter-
ested than they have ever been in this
years contest. The Republicans nat
urally assert that this access Of inter
est is wholly on their side. They give
no reason why this should be so. On
the contrary, their candidate for NAV
or is the same man that they ran two
years ago; and nobody is bold enough
to say that he has gained in popu-
larity since then. The same is true of
the other names on the general ticket.
That the increased registration due to
increased interest is favorable to the
Republican cause is an assertion with
out a single point of inherent proba-
bility.
On the other hand, no one who
passes an hour in any public place can
remain ignorant of the fact that the
Democrats of the city are stirred to
action asz4they shaye not been before

A Shot at the Clergy.

Policeman X of West 65th street has
this shot at a reverend gentleman. He
says that recently he heard clergy
man preaching on the value of truth
and the thought passed through his
mind that there was no one more than
policeman who required to constantly
bear this lesson in mind, because the
temptations to give false evidence are
SO great, inasmuch as policeman's
word is taken for gospel.
But, says our friend Of the blue:
Why do clergymen and ministers omit
policemen from their pastoral visits?
He has been for thirteen years living
in district where there are twelve po-
licemen, who cover an area in which
there are thirteen ministers. During
the whole of that thirteen years not q
single visit has been paid to these
twelve policemen by any one Of these
parsons.
And then Policeman X goes on 10
make very unpleasant remark. He
says that the reverend gentlemen are
occupied in looking after persons In
their own social position and do not
care about any that are below it.-New
York Mercury.

Mrs. Cleyeland's Gift.

A trait that has added greatly to Mrs.
Cleveland's popularity 6 her wonderful
memory for faces and names. A wom-
an visiting Washington during the last
winter was most anxious to see Mrs.
Cleveland. Upon inquiry she found
that the only way in which this could
be accomplished was to attend the pub
lie reception. This she accordingly
did, but when she found herself In the
procession composed of the queer med
ley of people who usually attend these
functions she was greatly embarrassed.
Beside her in the line was an old wom-
an fresh from her stand in the market,
who had left basket of produce out
side; in front was a cowboy from the
prairies in slouch hat and top boots;
near by she saw an old woman flower
seller, with her basket of half-faded
carnations in her hand.
When at length she reached Mrs.
Cleveland, she said few words of her
distress of being one of such a COM
pany. Mrs. Cleveland was all sfa-
ciousness. sIf you will tell me your
name and address" she said, with one
of her bewitching smiles, Il will send
you card to my private reception.
You will find that pleasanter, | think"
The visitor told her where she was
staying, and was much pleased at her
pleasant reception, but it did not occur
to her as possible that the presidents
wife would remember the card. What,
then, was her astonishment to receive
the invitation the next morning!
When she attended the private recep-
tion her cup of bliss was quite full
when Mrs Cleveland recognized her
and called her by name.

The Poster in japan.

Four or five years ago I stopped for
the night at little tea-house far up
in the mountains of Japan. Nowhere
were to be seen any railroads, Euro
pean cast-off clothing, or other mod
ern improvements and In walk
through the village, after dinner of
rice and fish, I was led to believe that
at least spot had been found where
things were to be as they always had
been. But on returning to the village
last summer there stood at the door
little maiden with a delightful smile
of rejoicing, as she proudly showed in
one hand an unmistakable nickel
plated alarm clock and in the other an
unbroken tin-foiled stick of chewing
gum. Verify our civilization had ar
rived. The next day, however, in viii
lage even more remote, still greater
surprise awaited me, for, displayed
prominently on blank wall, with an
admiring crowd about it, was a yerit-
able poster: and few more days
showed that this innovation in art, IL
it may be so called, was common and
highly popular. Every tea-house had
its series, and all the shops in the
bazaars were full of them, and wher-
ever a poster was in sight an admiring
throng was sure to be seen. A new
style of drawing seemed to go hand
in hand with the new idea, and even
an understanding of our perspective
was appreciable.-D. P. B. Conkling.

equally white.

Every woman when she makes her
round of calls wears a brilliant cos
tune, with white vest. Every white
vest is fanked each side by white
rever and topped with white stock
collar of ribbons. And all is the white
ness of satin or chiffon over satin, the
sheen of it mingling with the golden
glitter of sequins or embroidery
To encourage women in this folly
and a charming folly it is-the shops
offer white satin revers ready to be
sewed on Embroidered vests to match
can also be secured. Chiffon comes in
the prettiest crinkle for the making of
these vests, while net is so popular that
nothing need be said of its glories.
Fine silk null is perhaps as pretty as
any material, but it should be worn
over colored lining, yellow being the
most favored.
1t is heresay to say it, but white satin
revers are not serviceable. They need
to be cleaned every time the wearer
dons them or very slovenly appear

sible girl eschews them, wearing in
their stead revers of velvet to match

Cave J. Couts, of California, is no

Il tore my shirt to plecs and tied
| bit of rock to the end OF the line thus
made and sounded the spring. Fifty

cluded Mr.. Couts, "and / am going to

wife happened to travel from their
