When Tillinghast and Gildersleeve took
their seats in the theater the other night.

view of the stage interrupted by a large
picture-hat on the head of lady in front

w nat a pity it is that a lady with such
pretty face should be obliged to wear
such large hat in order to conceal some
personal defect about her headr'
What do you suppose the defect is?'
replied Gildersleeve, in a loud whisper

IS using hair-dye, and has neglected to
put it on for week or so, and, in conse-
quence, the hair is showing white at the
roots, while it is black where it has been

At this point the wearer of the hat gave
sniff of defiance, half looked around.

and placed it on her lap, and no doubt
she thought to herself,

Tillinghast smiled softly as he said:
Just see what magnificent hair she
has! We were both wrong. Isn't it a
pity that such hair should ever be covered
by hat?"
1T is. indeed" replied Gildersleeve.
Then the two willy young men enjoyed
the play, while a smile of pleasure played
on the face of the lady.

The street car lines OF Louisville have
been trying to make the people who ride
in the cars act as conductors for the
company; that is. to drop their fares into
a slot. thus permitting the company to
dispense with the services of conductors.
The charter Of the company calls for con-
ductors on the cars. The other day two
passengers declined to drop their nickels
in the SLOT and the company brought suit
against them for refusing to pay fare. The
passengers say they did not refuse to
pay. but that there was nobody on the car
to whom the fares were to be paid. The
case has gone into the courts The out
come will determine whether a street car
company in Kentucky may dispense with
the services of conductors at pleasure.

Mr.. Hobart, the incoming Vice Presi-
dent, is president, vice president or di-
rector in probably a dozen or more cor
porations in New Jersey. One or two of
his corporation offices he says he will re-
sign, but the others he will retain. II
would be ridiculous for him to give up his
business, he says. just because he has
been elected Vice President of the United
States. when his Office and his business
interests in no wise conflict.

Chandler in Error.
Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.).

The attempt OF Chandler 10 saddle the
woe Of silver on Secretary Carlisle - as
vain as IL is mendacious. MIR. Carlisle
never issued a proclamation that the gov
eminent would redeem its obligations In
gold only. on the contrary he has redeem
ed many OF them in silver. and has never
failed to do so when silver was available
and was desired by the holder Of the OBJ
legations. Moreover. Senator Teller, who
Is certainly as good a silver man as Chan
der, stated I'm the Senate that it would
have been imprudent at the time for Sec
rotary Carlisle 10 change the rule adopted
by all his predecessors after 1879 TO pay
gold when gold was wanted and silver
when silver was wanted. Had he not done
so everybody knows that gold would have
gone 20 a premium and disappeared from
circulation.
Mr. Chandler may be right about the
woes that await the republican party but
" so, they can not be ayerted by none
tary conference.

izes-or at least the observers do-that
he is Intellectually outclassed. The trusts
