Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and another
not? The most admirable and attractive thing
about an attractive woman is her wumaniness.
Every body admires womanly woman. She
must have health, of course, because without
it -he would lose the brightness of her eyes,
the fullnrs- of her cheeks and her yiyacity.
Real health must mean that woman is really
a woman That -he Is strong and perfect in a
:, xual way, a. well as in every other. That

duties of maternity. some are born with what
i called constitutional weakness" Those

Lyman }. Gage for the Treasury

While there are few republicans in
Congress who would have named
Lyman J. Gage, had they been asked
to seleet President McKinley's secre-
tary of the treasury, all of them agree
in commencing the choice, now that
it has been made.
Many republican senators and re-
representatives. are personally ac-
Quainted with Mr.. Gage, and those
who have not that honor are familiar
through others with his splendid bus
mess career in Chicago, where he has
resided for more than forty years.
From business standpoint there is
not a flaw in the record of AIr. Gage:
from political standpoint, there is
one flaw: He voted for Cleveland
when he was elected President
the first time. The best proof
that Mr.. Gage regretted his action in
that case is found in the fact that he
did not vote for Cleveland the second
and third time that he was a candi-
date, and that he was especially
active in the support of Mckinley
Hobart and honest money, during the
late campaign.
Mr.. Cages administration of the
treasury department IS likely to be
very strong in business, and some
what Indifferent in partizan politics.
Under existing circumstances, this
may be the best possible sort of an
administration of that important
branch OF the government, not only
for the country, but also for the re-
publican party.

House OF REPRESENTATIVES
AUGUSTA, Jan. IS, 1897.


To the Editor Of The american:
This has been a busy week with the
committees. The House has held but one
session daily so far, yet large number Of
petitions, resolves and bills has been
through the legislative mill. The speaker
Is ready man of considerable nervous
energy and executive ability, and meas
ures, however important, never stop when
thrown into the legislative hopper, unless
arrested by some member.
For the last few days petitions have
been largely duplicates OF those pre-
viously presented. A multitude of petit
tions for raising the age Of consent for
girls from fourteen to eighteen years has
been presented, and petitions touching
female suffrage continue to come in.
Wednesday afternoon the woman suf-
fragists had their day. Representatives
hail was opened for a public hearing
before the judiciary committee, and the
fair sex crowded in goodly numb ers to
present their claims for political recog-
milton. They were headed by Mrs. L. NJ.
n. Stevens, of Portland. In addition to
the old arguments, some bright, fresh
things were said which brought out n
gentle wave of applause. A few ladies
came down from Portland to oppose their
earnest sister suffragists, and plant them
selves squarely on the basis of govern
ment of men, by men and for women.
school bill providing for the division
of towns into classes under managers
with general town superintendent, and
for county supervision, is shelved pending
reference to Committee on education. 1t
Is partial relapse into the district system
on the one hand, and a reaching after
State examination. 1t is an attempt to
straddle all sides OF this question at the
risk of splitting into halves.
Thus far fifteen minutes will cover all
discussion which has taken place on the
floor. We should say that the House,
though composed largely OF new mem
bers, is specially strong, and will be
likely to be conservative in it's Legislative
movements. The important coming
questions are being debated among
groups of members.
This morning Hutchins introduced a
bill to change the January term of county
commissioners court in Hancoc1.
A petition for a close time of forty
eight hours for catching salmon on the
Prnobscot river is before the committee
on inland fisheries and game. 1t should
nave been referred to the committee on
shore fisheries. 1t would seriously af-
feet many Hancock county people, but

butting. H

Several anti = republican senators
made quite a bluff at opposing the
bill authorizing President Mckinley to
appoint delegates to represent this
country at any international none
tary conference that may be called by
any other country or that he in his
judgment may deem advisable to call,
but when it came up to the scratch,
bill in the Senate. No trouble is ex-
pected in getting the bill through the
Honse. A notable feature of the
short debate which preceded the pas
sage of the bill by the Senate was the
speech made by Senator Hoar, who,
when abroad last year, made it point
to secure information on the growth
of bimetallism in Europe. He ex-
pressed the positive opinion that in
ternational bimetallism was bound to
come in time. AS to the length of
time he said: If not in three months,
then in three years. 1t will be
stronger twelve months hence than it
is to-day, and it is stronger to-day
than it was twelve months ago" Mr..
Hoar quoted original letters in his
possession to show why he believed
that four great nations, the United
States, England, France and Germany,
were steadily advancing towards BIZ
metallism.
