what is to be the state of Europe twelve months

and letters, for the WEEKLY is to be pictorial
of all this.

The old State rights doctrine has re- ceived a blow on it's solar pleXus in Warren county, Mississippi, which in- cludes Vicksburg, the chief city of the State of Jefferson Davis. The board of supervisors of the county the other day unanimously adopted resolutions de- claring it the deliberate opinion of the board that the entire subject of quar- antine against yellow fever and other infectious diseases of foreign origin ought to be under the paramount con- trol of the United States, the experience of the present system and spread of yellow fever this year furnishing con- elusive evidence that the several inde- pendent boards of health of the States bordering on the Gulf of Mexico cannot be safely relied upon to prevent the in- troduction and spread of infectious and contagious diseases.
 There was a time in the South when even yellow fever would have seemed less dangerous than such an utterance as this.

FASHION NOTES.
For Cold Weather Wheeling.

It doesn't seem possible that there are to-day as many enthusiastic beginners among women bicycle riders as there
 were a year ago, for it seems as if most everyone who wants to ride has long ago learned to do so. But women are sticking to their saddles these cool November days as if they were going to ride all winter so long as the roads were not covered with snow. And those Of them who in their suits make any de- parture from the conventional, sport new rigs even now. Plaid skirts are the latest agony, and are recommended as looking warm! The plaid is match ed and should be bright. A jacket iu

solid color is worn over bright waist coat, and linen collar and cuffs with a tourist felt cap complete the outfit.
 A wheel suit in a much better taste is of mouse brown smooth cloth. The bodice is in shirt waist fashion, fitting snugly down into the belt at the back and slightly loose in front, fastens with small pearl buttons, and has linen col- lar and cuffs. The skirt is self-faced and stitched to match the bodice, strapped at the seams and with stitch ed belt. A jacket to match lined with scarlet is made slightly bloused in front, and without skirt below the belt. At the back it is flat, is drawn into it's own belt, a close skirt showing be- low the belt. It fastens at the side in front, but loosening the buttons with out opening the belt allows it to hang slightly open, displaying just flash of scarlet. The hat Is an alpine to match the color of the suit, little scarlet quill tucked in at one side. Next spring when the cloth waist becomes too heavy, a wash shirt waist may be worn under the jacket.
 If it is desired to suggest warmth h by bright plaid, then a better way than the intense plaid skirt is suggested by the skirt sketched here. It was green cloth, the jacket bloused over white chamois belt. Bright plaid appeared at lapel, cuffs and collar, and to most riders ideas, that was plenty of it. Plaids, either of the soft gray or swag- ger Scotch sorts, and in warm French flannel, are used for shirt waists for wheel rigs, cloth skirts and jacket be- ing in tailor finish. For suits composed thus, a jacket worn with long skirts is recruited to wheel use, and not pur- chased for the exercise alone. This results in a considerable sale of sepa- rate wheel skirts, almost all of which are now sensibly arranged.

place of residence with soldiers, night and day. Since my departure this im- possible state of things has become still more acute, and the uncertainty thus produced is the one obstacle in the path of the long-hoped for prosperity just dawning upon us. Business men are plainly stating to each other that such uncertainty now hangs like a cloud over all future transactions.
 It is great folly to suppose that the Cuban question is something that we can set aside if we will and go about our own business. It has intruded It. self into our national affairs with all it's disturbing consequences, and it is here to stay until we take hold of 1t and solve 1t wisely, not only in our own in-. terest, but ia that of humanity.

WISE COUNCILlTEN.

The councilmen did some business last evening and they did it with neat ness and dispatch. One of the things they did was to unanimously approve the recommendation of the board of finance concerning the city advertis- ing. Another thing they did was to vote for the appointment by the mayor of a committee of three counoilmen and two aldermen to take into consideration the practicability and advisability of establishing a city newspaper under the auspices of the city government.
 Practicability and advisability are good words. If this committee is final ly appointed it will find that nothing is more practicable and advisable than to establish city newspaper under the auspices of the city government. Such a paper would fill long-felt want and it wouldn't cost much. Anywhere from fifty to one-hundred thousand dollars a year could be pleasantly spent in es- tablishing such newspaper and after it was established it could be run as expensively as the city government might think best. Of course the mayor would be the editor of such a paper, and he would make it so readable that it would go from the start, with the city treasury behind it. Another paper is greatly needed in New Haven and the people are clamoring for chance to support it. They find it little diffi- cult to support in good shape all the papers that now exist here, but there would be no trouble about the city pa- per. It would be popular 'in month" as one of the enthusiastic councilmen said.

f nEAsoyAELE EXPLANATION

Free and intelligent labor, we'll paid,
 when compared with the labor of some other countries. The London Times in
 discussing the loss of British prestige in an important branch of industry re-
 gently said: "American machine tools by hundreds of thousands of dollars
 worth are sent, freight paid, for thou sands of miles across the ocean to Eng land, Germany, France, Russia, Japan and China, and it is difficult to resist the contention that this simply means the success of free and intelligent labor well paid" The American Economist, commenting upon this, says: It is not alone in the making of machine tools that the worlxmen of the United States lead the world; in the use of these tools the free, intelligent, weil-paid American working man excels the ar- tisan of every other nation. Here is the testimony of one of the largest manufacturers of sewing machines in the world: We have, said he, two fac tories in operation, one in New Jer- | sey, where 4,0O0 operatives are en- ployed, and one in Scotland, where we carry 5000 people on the pay roll. It is
 a curious fact, as illustrating the su-
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-11-09

perior aptitude and eXpertness of Am orleans in operating labor saving ma chinery, that fully as many sewing ma chimes are turned out by our 4,O00 hands in New Jersey as by the 6,OOO in the factory in Scotland.
 This tells an impressive story. More power to the American workman, and also more freedom, more intelligence an2 letter pay.

WH CdN BE DONE

One of the arguments for lynching, and it is a plausible one, is that it pun ishes crime immediately and makes it impossible for legal skill to defeat jus- tice. It is undoubtedly true that lynch ing would not be as popular as it is if murder trials had not been what they have been. What can be done has just been shown in the Circuit court of Jackson county, West Virginia where Judge Blizzard has conducted murder trial in very unusual way John F. Morgan murdered Mrs. Edward Green, her son, twelve years old, and her daughter, Matilda Pfost and almost killed Alice Pfost, another daughter, on Wednesday of last week. A mob on Wednesday night tried to lynch Mor- gan. Judge Blizzard remained at the jail with the sheriff all night, three times addressing the mob, and promis- ing speedy trial, and the mob went away. Morgan made a confession. A special grand jury indicted the mur- derer on Thursday, and on Friday he was tried and found guilty of murder in the first degree, and was sentenced on Saturday to be hanged on Decem- Der Il.
 This will seem to some very much like legal lynching, but most people will consider it an example worthy of imitation If all persons plainly guilty of murder were legally disposed of within a week of their crime the tempt ation to lynching could be better resist ed than it is.

SPAIN POWERLESS TO CONQUER
 CUBA

CUBA.
 Spain herself has demonstrated that she is powerless either to conciliate Cuba or to conquer it. Her sovereignty over it is, in my humble judgment, now extinct flor all purposes of it's rightful existence" and the "hopeless struggle for it's establishment has degenerated into strife which means nothing more than the useless sacrifice of human life and the utter destruc- tion of the very subject matter of the conflict itself" This deplorable state of things is not only shocking to hu- manity, but it is a special and grievous burden to the people of the United States, by reason of their intimate commercial and social relations and sympathes with the people of an isl- and so near to our coast line as to be almost part of our territory. Our commerce with Cuba, amounting an nually at the beginning of the present war of S100,0O0,000 has been nearly wiped out The millions of American capital invested in the island have been either destroyed or rendered unprodue- tive; many of our citizens reduced to absolute want have been forced to appeal to Congress for aid; while too many of them have found their way into Spanish dungeons from which some have been able to escape only through the door of death. But last, and worst of all, our peace as a nation is broken and disquieted by an endless strife that enters as potent factor into our internal politics. With patience al- most uneXampled We endured all such evils during the period of the great war that began at Yara in 1868, and ended ten years later with the treaty of Zan- jon; then came the little war; and final ly the last great war that has now been iu progress for more than two years and a half. Thus we have been called upon to witness nearly fifteen years of war in Cuba out of the last twenty nine. Throughout the present struggle, apart from our commercial losses, we have been in a state of semi-war with spain; large part of our fleet has be- come coast guard; and our diplomatic relations have been So strained that for more than year the Spanish govern ment deemed it necessary to guard my

It was in the late John Sartain's mag azine that Poe's poem, 'The Bells" was first printed. Of Poe's last visit to him in his old Samson street house MT. Sar- tain recently said: Tt was on a Mon

He thought there was a con- spiraey to kill him, and asked to be hidden. humored the frenzied poet,s hallucination, and for two days he re- mained in concealment in the Sansom street house. I even went 50 far as to cut off Poe's mustache at the latter's request, in order that his fancied enc mics might not recognize him. The first draft of "The Bells" consisted of only two stanzas, and for these he was paid s15. A couple of days later he ap- peared with another verse, and before the poem was published he had added again to it. By this means he received S45 for the poem, and had not the day

Theatrical managers do not think as much of the bicycle as some of their employees do, and many of them have decreed that none of the members of their companies shall be allowed to ride a wheel while on tour. It was not so much the cost of transportation, though that was considerable item, but the danger of accidents which at any time might render man or woman incapa- ble of taking part in the performance was a risk that entailed a financial loss that the managers refuse to bear.

France is an old country but there are still some wolves in it. Last year, however, premiums were paid on only I'll wolves killed in France, as the number has been steadily decreasing. In 1890 the number was 461, in 1885 it was 300, and in 1883, the first year in which premiums were offered, 1916. Two-thirds of the animals killed in 1896 were found in six departments, Charente, Dordogne, Mouse, Correze, Vosges, and Haute Marne.

The interesting discovery has been made that the dangers of the Ohio Falls, in the avoidance of which much money has been spent every year for nearly a century, were probably mere creations of the imagination. In, all that time it has been considered neces- sary for every boat descending the falls to hire a special pilot who knew just where among the rushing waters every dangerous rock lay, ready to wreck any craft unfortunate enough to touch it. The Government improve ments now going on have laid bare the bed of the river at this point, and to the surprise of the boat owners it is revealed that none of the rocks about which they have been so apprehensive exist. Competent engineers say that any barge or steamboat could have run the falls in perfect safety, with no other help than that of their regular crews.
