Back In the Fold.

The news that comes from Atlanta,
that Col. James Barrett has announced
his return to the Democratic party,
will not create any surprise here.
Mr.. Barrett was at one time one of
the leading Populists of the county.
Being an expert politician, with a large
acquaintance with men all over the
state, it was easy for him to work him
self into prominence in party COM
posed almost exclusively of nonpoliti-
clans. MIR, Barrett had been chairman
of the county and district executive
committees, and was twice the nomi-
nee of the party for state Commission
er of Agriculture.
Latterly Mr.. Barrett had fallen into
disfavor. When the last state ticket
was made up he was not one of the
candidates, and he was also retired
from the craftsmanship uof the party.
The efforts that have been made to re-
instate him in defiance of the plain
wish of the people are matters of re-
cent history. How barbecue meet
ing was called at Greenwood, which,
though it refused to elect him on the
executive committee, yet yielded suf-
ficiently to send him as a delegate to
the state convention. Here he failed
of the support he hoped to receive,
none but Mr.. Carter favoring him,
through whose effort he was allowed
to be seated, and the final disposal of
him left to the people at home.
Having thus failed in being sustained
by the state convention, and knowing
that the people at home were solid
against him, Mr.. Barrett did just what
everybody expected he would do-re-
turn to the Democratic party.
In announcing his return Mr.. Bar
rett takes occasion to make some state
ments which he cannot substantiate,
but that is natural From now on he
may be looked upon to be most active
IN fighting the party which he can no
longer use but he can do the peoples
cause less injury as a known opponent
than he did as one of it's leaders.
Colonel Barrett has been load for
the party to carry, and we are glad
that our friends on the other side will
now shoulder the burden. We COM
mend the Colonel to their kindest con-
sideration. He is good, clever fell
low, whose only fault is that he talks
too much and too anarchistic, and that
he gets mad if he is crossed or disap-
pointed. Augusta, Ga, Tribune.

W, D. Ryan, secretary of the United
Union Workers of Illinois, has address
sed an open letter to Senator Mason
of that state calling his attention to
the fact that coal miner can earn at
present prices only 4sLout Sc. CO d week,
an amount utterly insufficient to pay
rent and purchase food and clothing
for his family. He asserts that there
are today more hungry mouths among
the coal mines than in the whole of
Cuba, and that poverty is destroying
lives among the miners as fast as the
Spaniards are destroying the lives of
Cuban insurgents. The point of des-
peration has been reached and the
miners in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky
to the number of 100000 or more, have
been notified to be ready to quit work.
Whether these men will sit down
quietly and starve as the East Indians
are now dong remains to be seen.

QUESTION OF LUCK.
A Citation That Clinched the Other Side
 of the Argument.

A Citation That Clinched the Other Side
 of the Argument.
 T hate to hear people say there's no such thing as luck. remarked the mel aneholy Mr. Dolittle
 ''I don't see why, his wife reioined.
 'Beoause it isn't true, he returned with asperity. A man can go on try. ing and trying and never get along, and some other person will go ahead and tumble into good things without making any effort whatever.
 Hiram, no great man has succeeded without hard work.
 That's the kind Of talk you always hear. But nine times out of ten 1t is all owing to the opportunity that presented itself, Fortune just seems to lie inwait to kidnap some men. Look at Sir Isaac Newton. His name is handed down from generation to generation. And why? Simply because he was sitting under tree, and an apple happened Q drop on him. You ean't t pretend that . man is ill q, position to claim superior perit simply because, through no ao- tion or preference of his own, he gets hit in the head with all apple, can you?"
 "No, Hiram
 "Then don't tell me about there not being any such thing as luck. '
 Ut seems to me that you ye chosen a poor example in support of your argu. ment. The case of Isaac Newton goes to show that the difference is ill the people. If it had been some men that I knew of instead of Newton, the first thing they would have done after the apple fell would have been to go into the house and moan for the arnioa bot tie; then they would have spent two or three hours of precious time talkirs about their bad luck.

A rwo.tlllrds Vote In Idaho.

State No. 1 has wheeled into line for woman suffrage.
 An unexampled victory for woman suffrage has been achieved in the state of Idaho. Hitherto suffragists have only sought to attain for woman suffrage constitptional amendments the oustom4 ary majority of votes for the question, whereby amendments~o state oonsti,u. tions are usually adopted. But in Idaho, on Nov. 3, more than two-thirds of the votes cast on tho question were recorded for woman suffrage,
 And yet it is claimed by the oppo- nents of woman suffrage that by pe- ouliar wording of the suffrage clause Of the Idaho state constitution two-thirda of all tho votes cast at general election arc needed, and that these not having been given for suffrage the amendment is.lost.
 Such q provision was never intended by the nfen who voted for the new con- stitution. It would be unjust, unusual, undemoeratic and unrepublioan. We do not believe that the supreme court of Idaho will so interpret the state consti- tuition. Any such provision, if it exist, was fraudulently framed for the express purpose of perpetuating the disfranchise- ment of women and was never under stood or intended by the voters of Idaho. -Boston Woman's Journal.

The Rain Skirt.

In reference to the rain skirt would like to suggest an idea. have just rs- turned from an extensive trip abroad and have very much admired the way ladies manage over there. Of course it is very unpleasant to drag long dress through the streets i'll. rainy weather, but atthe same time it is hard to dresa always according to the weather. You may go shopping ill your rain costume. but after few hours it clears, the streets are dry and clean. and then. of course, it doesn't look we'll to walk about in short skirts .&
 In Europe ladies have their street cos. tunes arranged SD that-with one pull ox with two buttons they can change their ordinary skirts to the desired length. IL looks neat, nice even. And shoald the rain stop they drop their skirts to the usu. al length by simply undoing onBs sBhtton or one string. =, SA.s-
 Dressmakers put this arrangement in- to all.street dresses, and even the ready made!ones generally have 1t. Would you not suggest the idea and let the 1adiea sec how they like it?-Letter in New : York Herald.

The Provencai snails, which feed in gourmet fashion upon vine leaves, are peculiarly delicious, and there was a murmur of delight from our company as the four women brought to tho table four big dishes full of them, and for q while there was only the sound of eager munohing, mixed with the chatter on china of the empty shells To extract them we had the strong thorns, three or four inches long, of the wild acacia. and on these the little brown morsels were carried to the avid mouths and eaten with bit of bread sopped n the sauce, and then the shell was subjected to q vigorous sucking, that not a drop of sauce lingering within it should be lost.

A Marvellous Feat of Memory.

Marcus tells us that during his trav- els over Europe he met the marvel of marvels" at Padua. The marvel in question was a young Oorsioan, who was in the city for the purpose of pur- suing his studies at the university. Ma retus having heard that the young man was gifted with an extraordinary mem ory, desired to put the student to the test.
 The person who had informed the traveller concerning the wonderful re- tentiveness of the young Corsicaa's memory declared that he was so gifted in that faculty that he could repeat as many as 36, GOO words if read over to him but once Marcus and three distin- guished Venetians agreed 10 test the ao- ouraoy of the statement A committee visited the student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to sub init to the ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to him an almost inter- minable list of words strung together without any consecutive order and without any meaning whatever.
 The young man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyes half closed. When the long string of words had been read off, he looked up cheerfully and repeated the whole of the uninteresting catalogue of words without 3 single fault. Then, to show how carefully his wonderful memory bad retained every word, he went through the list backward When that task was finished. he took each alter nate word-frst. third, fifth. etc. -and repeated them until the company was thoroughly convinced that they were in the presenc of the most wonderful prod igy of memory that the world had ever produced.

ICE CAVES.
Tn California With Their Product as cIeaS
 as Crystal,

AS GNNbhaAe
 In Modoo county, Cal, is an immense field of lava covered with beautiful forest of conifers, which is inhabited by deer, bear, panther, lynx, coyote, porou- pine and numerous fur bearing animals whose pelts are of value to the trapper It was in these lava beds that the Modoo Indians made their stand against the government troops some years ago and were with very great difficulty destroy ed, It is here that the ice caves are found, and from them the Modocs drew their water supply while besieged by the troops.
 One never having been over lava field can form but little idea of the chaotic manner ill which the ingenious workmen have left the products of their labor. The only order observed is disor- der of the most exaggerated kind, wherein every mass of rock has been twisted or raised or depressed or arehed over some cavern in Q different way from that of it's neighbors The caves scatter ed throughout these lava beds are of very varying shapes and dimensions. Some are mere covert ways, with an arch of stone thrown over them. Others are immense chambers some yards from the surface, another kind is sunk quite deeply and may be in series of cham bers united by corridor that opens at the surface, while another kind seems to go directly to the center of the earth without stopping.
 It is here that the stores of ice are found, wtsch is formed from water that filters in unnuaTly xpom Che melting snows above. Every winter the lava beds are covered with a fall of snow which varies from two to ten feet in depth. The temperature over this region in the coldest weather is often 90 or more degrees below zero, so that any water that might be in the caves is frozen solid, unless the caves mouths should be entirely covered with snow, which is not often the case. Now, when spring comes and the snow melts, the water peroolates through into the cold storage chambers beneath and is there congealed br the prevailing cold. It is ill this way that the ice has been made and stored for years And were these caves accessible to market they would furnish the purest of ice to many cities for years to come.

 Clocks With Nerves.

There is one disadvantage about very tall buildings which is being noticed by the occupants. It is perhaps a small disadvantage, but still is worth oonsid ering, as it involves some annoyance to those who have not made provision for it.
 The trouble referred to is the stop. ping of pendulum clocks by the vibra. tion of the buildings. Many pendulum clock that has kept accurate time for years in old fashioned low structures has refused to run at all when moved into some one of the new tall steel framed buildings in the lower part of the city On the lower floors of the buildings the clocks run fairly well, but when higher up in the buildings they become more whimsical and on the te9 floors will not run at all.--New Yor1 Times.
