Gen. Care de Bellemare, a French Of
ficer- who distinguished himself at the
siege of Paris in 1870 has in his old age
turned poet, and pub lshed a history of the
last Napoleonic regime in verse.
DIR. Parker of London always breaches
entirely extempore, and nothing annoys
him more than to have it reported that he
studies every word and gesture before riS-
ing in the pulpit. He is one of the few
nonconformist ministers who have been
constantly carlcatured.
Someone who met Nine. Duse and her
daughter in Switzerland this summer says
the Italian actress watches over the latter
like a brooding dove and will allow no
stranger TO come near their nest. The girl
has the beauty of youth with the dark
eyes of her mother but otherwise she
seems an ordinary little mortal.
Mrs. Emily F. Miller Springfield wo-
man, who has been living among the In

Cages plan Not Indorsed.

II is said in the Washington dispatches
the Treasury are not in accord in the mat
ter of monetary reform. There may be
some basis for this statement, though it
is difficult to understand how that can be
known. because the President has
been extremely careful not to per
nit any part of his message 10
reach the public The statement
may be based upon conversations of the
President with senators and representa-
lives on the currency reform question, or
it may have no basis at all.
The story that the dispatches tell is that
the President still believes there Is a
chance for international bimetallism while
the Secretary of the Treasury thinks there
is no hope whatever for it. The secre tary' s
plan for reforming the currency, there
fore, has no reference to international BIZ
metanism. His purpose is to maintain the
gold standard and give the country a mon
etary system which would be elastic and
at the same time provide every section of
the country with all the currency it needs.
1t Is believed that the President has been
Influenced to very considerable extent
by Senator Wolcott. who thinks that some
way will yet be found to induce the COM
mercial nations of Europe to agree to
larger use of silver While the President,
therefore, will, in the main, approve the
monetary reform plan of the Secretary of
the Treasury. he will take the position that
there is sull hope for International bimet-
alllsm.
1t looks very much as il the President
were not as frank as his Secretary of the
Treasury. He is not yet certain that sill
yer Will not play an important part in the
campaign of 1900, and he does not want to
put himself in the position of being hos
tile to silver. In other words while ia
voring the gold standard, he wants to be
able to make some concessions to the sill
yer republicans. Assuming that such is
the case he is permitting his political am
biton 30 influence his course in respect to
a great public question. BY not sustain
ing his Secretary of the Treasury he lends
the enemies of monetary reform a helping
hand.
Any one who has followed the reports
of the doings of the international bimetallc
commission in Europe must be satisfied
that no one of the great commercial coun-
tries of Europe is going to make any con-
cessions to silver that would in the least
endanger the gold standard. No conces-
sons to silver of Importance could be made
without endangering the gold standard.
Therefore, there is no pros pect of anything
being done towards bringing about inter
national bimetallism. If the commercial
nations of Europe would open their minis
to the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to l or any other ratio there would be
very little objection to free silver coinage
in this country, but there is not the least
probability of their doing anything of the
kind, especially as the output of silver
could be made so enormous that the COM
mercial value of silver would become
great deal less than it is now.

Register-elect Fromme of New York
seems determined to retain the beefsteak
championship. at all hazards. A week
ago he made the record by devouring sew
en- and a quarter pounds of steak at one
sitting. There were no Corners against
that record, but Fromme was not salts
fed with it, hence he went up against it,
himself on Saturday night last, and sue
ceeded in moving the notch up by two
pounds and a half. 1t took him two
hours and half to eat the nine and
three-quarter pounds of steak. according to
the newspaper reports. If there is another
city official in America who can do better
than that, Mr.. Fromme would probably
like to hear from him with a view to max
ing a match.

Some queer stories have come from Chi
cago and Montgomery during the past few
days. They are to the effect that promi-
nent lawyers in the two cities have dis
covered that the laws of Illinois and Ala
bama do not prohibit polygamy, but that
in each state plural marriages are per-
fectly legal, just so the plural husband or
wife does not marry his several wives or
her several husbands at different times.
The statutes provide that whoever, hav-
ing a former husband or wife living ana
undivorced,. marries another person. or
continues living with such second hus.
band or wife in the state, shall be guilty
of bigamy. If one man and half a dozen,
more or less, women go before a person
authorized to perform the marriage cere.
mony and answer the questions simultane-
ously there being no former marriage, >.
the contract Is legal and binding, accord
ing to these very bright lights of the law.
Meantime, it probably would not be sare
for anybody TO attempt to act upon the
opinions of these smart lawyers.

The Unusual Manager.

A gentleman VINO through an erroneous
estimate of his character, had been put in
charge of q political campaign, was asked
on the evening Of election day what he
thought were the chances Of his candi-
date having won. says the San Francisco
Examiner.
II know nothing about it," said he.
w nat. exclaimed the inQuiring one,
you do not claim a victory?"
Il do not know what you mean by
claim" the gentleman replied; 1T is not
my habit to claim anything that is not GER
talniy mine unless my claim would help
me to obtain it,"
Then you concede the election to our
opponents?" asked the other in manifest
astOnishment.
Il cannot 'concede' anything that is not
in my control" was the reply,
Well, said the other, in deep disgust.
1t is plain that we need man at the
helm whose heart is In the voyage"

has the city Of Savannah. The Strand Of

soon become famous all over the WORLD,

opportunities which almost any other city

If the extension were surrounded by i'm

There is also danger, in case of tuberculo-

may come from the inhalation of dust and
