NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Cleo de Merode,
the newly imported Paris sensation. who
has set New York wild with her beauty
and her charming couture, is reported TO be
the most beautiful young woman in Paris.
She has velvety brown eyes and hair, daz-
zling teeth, and tall, slim figure, with
broad shoulders low, small bust and tiny
waist-a figure impossible on any but
French woman. 1t is not the beauty of
tention so much as the saint-like express
sion of eyes and mouth. This appearance
of simplicity and purity is wonderful, AID

ALL WANT COL. PARKER. THEIR
CHOICE FOR MARSHAL. IN
FAVOR OF SUFFRAGE.
THE PEOPLE DIsGUSTED.

The Mckinley and Hobart Club, at
a well-attended meeting in Wonn's
Hall on Sixth street, last Wednesday
night, discussed civil service, District
appointments, and the question of self
government for the District. Presi-
dent Hensley occupied the chair.
After a number of short addresses
upon matters in which the Republican
PARTY is interested the matter of Dis
trict appointments was taken up, when
a motion prevailed that a committee
of five be appointed TO wait upon Presi-
dent Mckinley and inform him that the
unanimous choice of the Mckinley
and Hobart Club for the United
States Marshal for the District Of Col
umbia is Myron NJ. Parker. The
committee to which that duty is as.
signed is composed Of Messrs Odell
Lee, Crossthwaite, Weed and CARR
son.
With reference to civil service, a
committee of three was appointed tc
consider and make suggestions regard
ing a civil service circular now in pre-
paration, the text of which is not ye'
ready for the public.
BENJAMIN F. Oliphant introduced
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That committee OF tlt
teen be appointed to draw up set o
resolutions to be presented to the
Senate and house of Representatives
of the United States Congress asking
them to give to the city and suburbs
the right of suffrage and representa-
ton in the House of Representatives
and be it further.
Resolved, That the Senate anc
House of Representatives be respect
fully asked to call an election to be
held IN the twenty-five election dis
tricts at as early date as possible
that all who are entitled to vote shall
decide on that day whether they shall
have suffrage and representation il
| Congress or not, and that said com
mittee shall ask all good Republican
clubs of the District to send commit
tees to unite with our committee a
soon as possible, that they may pre-
sent the matter to Congress at th
session commencing December next

ANTI CIVIL SERVICE
LEAGUE.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
seen a circular issued by the Anti
Civil Service League of this city.
The BEE must disagree with the
circular for the reason that Pres.
ident Mckinley is only carrying
out the law passed by Congress.
If this league wants the civil SER
vice league APPEALED, should appeal
to Congress and condemn that
body if it refuses and not the Pres,
ident. Congress is the body that
created the law and not the Pres
ident. President Mckinley will
undoubtedly do whatever Congress
wishes, we believe. Although the
Civil Service Commission is DEM
oeratic, it is to be commended, be-
cause it has never as yet failed to
attack and remove the violat ors OF
the civil service law, even under
the last democratic administration.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL.

It is about time, for Trustees
Bruce and Shadd, who have charge
of our High School, to make some
changes in the personal and system
of that school. The necessary re-
forms that are needed is 10 allow
as many pupils to graduate from the
High School and enter the Normal
who may pass the examination. 1t
is about time to cease the importa-
ton of teachers to this city and
placing them in our High and
Normal schools. What encourage
ment is there for our home girls?
We do not charge this against
either DR.. Shadd or Ex-senator
Bruce, because we firmly believe
that they are in favor of home tai
ent.
There is no reason that can be
gwen why all the high school grad
yates should not be allowed to
enter the Normal school. It is
not expected that all the Norma
school graduates will get schools, if
they are permitted to graduate, but
they will have certificates as
graduates from the Normal Public
school of Washington which will
enable them to GO anywhere in this
country and obtain a school. They
will have had a normal school
training which will be great help
to them.
Our pupils IN the high school
are suffering for want Of good
teachers. The people demand
that Trustees Bruce and Shadd
make a change in that school. Our
schools seem to be asylums fol
people from other cities to come
here to study professions. We can
name several teachers who are
studying professions at the expense
of the pupils. Is this to be coutin-
ued? We know our trustees are
not aware that a great deal of time
is lost by these teachers. How can
they give the necessary teaching te
our schools? The best interest Of oul
schools demands that there be i'm
mediate changes.

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll d. Wright
furnished that body last week concern
ng the labor cost of lumber in this coun-
try and in Canada. His figures showed
that, while the average wages in Canadi-
an sawmills is S1.41 and Sill per day
here, the average labor cost of 1000
feet of lumber is SIPS in Canada and
only "a cents here. The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
Of course, the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro-
duction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get tariff on Canadian lum-
Der so that they can the more effectually
rob American consumers. Protection
lists care nothing for facts. What they
want is a license to steal.-National

BUSHNELL A LOAD, PERKINS SAID.
Toledo, O.-With regard to Bush
nell's hint, while the state convention
was being held here, that he might re-
fuse the nomination if Kurtz should be
turned down from the Craftsmanship
of the state republican executive COM
mittee, Mr.. Perkins, Senator Hanna's

''That would be the best thing that
could happen to the ticket. Bushnell
is heavy weight to the ticket since

ty in the state is adopting resolutions
against the governor, and If he IS
nominated he will lose thousands OF
votes and endanger the entire ticket.

happen to the party if Bushnell would

THE PREIDENT'S RECENT
ORDER.

There seems to be great deal Of
dissatisfaction among the republi-
can politicians, with the recent
civil service order, promulgated by
the President. The politicians are
at a lost what to do and have gone
so far as to organize an anti-civil
service league. Whether such an
order was a stroke of political di-
plomacy remains to be seen. The
great question is, who is to blame,
Congress or the President?
Congress made the law and the
President is doing no more than
carrying the law into effect. II
Congress was not sincere when ii
made the law, it should shoulder
the responsibility. What is the
good of President after Congress-
has made law, if he refuses to
carry it into effect? We under
stand that Congressman and Sen
ators are very much displeased
Why should they be? They have
it in their power to repeal the law
and should do so if it is distasteful

The indianapolis Journal prints this
interesting story concerning ex-Presi-
dent Harrison's forthcoming book
General Harrison has just completed
the revision of his articles which have
appeared in The Ladies' Home Journ-
al, making extended notes and addi-
tions to them. There is little story
in connection with both articles and
publication. When the arrangement
for the articles was made With Gen
Harrison by Edward w. Box, editor
of The Ladies' Home Journal, the
General was paid for them, with the
understanding that when they were
put into book form the magazine was
to share the royalties ACQUIRING there
from. Mr.. Box, however, Of his own
accord, generously released General
Harrison from paying him any royalty,
for the reason, as he states, that by
the publication of the articles by Gen.
Harrison the subscription list Of his
magazine was enlarged many thous-
ands. The profits to The Lddies'
Home Journal were more than the
publishers anticipated, and in view of
this Mr.. Box asks nothing further
General Harrison placed the disposi-
ton of his book in Mr.. Bok's hands.
The best offer came to the editor from
the Scribners, and to them Mr.. Box
gave the book for his distinguished
contributor. General Harrison's re-
vision of the book has just been COM
pleted, and the volume will appear in
the autumn.
