cortes, is an Irishman by blood. He is
the son of Gen. ODonnell, who in 1860,
during the war with the Moors, captured
the town of Tetuan in Morocco and got a
title for his bravery. The duke has

tied from his fighting father in Spain. 1t
is that of Lord Donegal, in Ireland. The
name of the family is an ilustrious one

A state Secret.

Great successes often depend upon small
considerations, and the wife of a member
of congress, a statesman to whom life
constituents are wont to point as a man
of the people whom fiattery cannot divert
from his old custom and associations,
fully realizes this fact, says the Washing
ton Star. A school friend who had not
seen her since girlhood surprised and de-
lighted her with a visit not long since.
How industrious you are!" exclaimed
the visitor.
I'm what way?''
II don't know. / suppose it is fancy
work. l know that you used to have a
great aversion to plain sewing. But you
must be very diligent indeed to have your
work basket in this room"
Would you Nike to know what 1 am at
work on?'
Certainly"
you shall see for yourself. Here 1t
is" And she held up to view a half-knit
sock of old fashioned blue yarn.
"You-you don't mean TO say that your
husband wears things like thatr
"Oh no. He wouldn't think Of wearing
them. l have a whole lot that / will
give away to anybody who will use them"

After the Show.

From the standpoint of royalty and the
favored guests at the queens jubilee, the
occasion was a magnificent success. But
there is another side to the matter. seen
from the point of view of the spectators
and the shop-keepers who expected to reap
a rich harvest from the throngs in attend
ance upon the festivities. Almost with
out exception the spectators are disap-
pointed The majority of them lost money.
Many of them depended for great profits
upon the gullibility of the rich Americans
who would take in" the occasion. The
Americans declined to bite at the bait.
Fabulous prices were charged for seats,
up to the morning of the parade; then when
there were few takers. prices went tumb-
ling, and the seats were flied at a great
concession in rates. The hotel keepers,
restaurateurs and caterers did not find
the throngs nearly so hungry as had been
anticipated, and the dispensers of liquid
refreshments learned at the eleventh hour
that the thirst of the throng was not any
thing like what they had counted It would
be. ..
As limited as was the thirst of the crowd,
however, there was too much of il to
please the temperance people, when free
beer was served to the lower classes. The
teetotal.ers think it was very, very wrong
to serve malt liquors to the populace. when
water would have served the purpose of
shaking thirst, and would not have cater
ed to the appetite for strong drink And
then there are the physicians and the sur
geons and the druggists, who looked for
ward TO a brisk season in their specialties,
and all Of whom We're disappointed. The
undertakers are to be included in the same
category. one undertaken had provided
200 collins. in anticipation of brushes and
panics, similar to those which occurred az
the coronation OF the Gar of Russia a
year or so ago; and not soul was tramp
led to death! The crowds were too good
natured and well-behaved to suit the I'M
dertakers.
There Is considerable growing among
the politicians because the majority OF
them did not come IN for the especial ju-
bilee decorations and other favors. There
is also some growing among
visitors because. in their eager
ness to engage seats they paid
high prices, ana after al failed TO secure
the best view Of the show on the whole.
however, the masses Of the people will
not be disposed to pay a great deal OF at
tention to the GROWERS. 1t would have
been one of the wonders OF the world A.
there had not been a host OF disappointed
people. So far as the masses are con-
cerned. II was great blowout" aud

Had He Degeneratea.

He had just appeared before her in his
new spring outfit and was rather proud
of himself, says the Chicago Post But
she only looked at him in scornful sort
of way, and finally said:
Il don't see why you can't have little
originality in the matter of dress"
"Originalityr he exclaimed. Origin

exasperating way; but it annoys me to

question. ut is outrageous"
when did you first begin to wear that
kind of collar and neckue?' he inquired
with forced calmness. Look that up and
compare it with the earliest times when
these things were considered proper APP
parel for men. Did you ever see me with
a ruching round my neck?'
Then, too, she persisted, there is
the sweater and the jacket and the golf
stockings and even the diamond frame
bicycle. Why do you persist in riding a
diamond frame wheel like a new woman?
Why don't you ride a drop frame or any
old frsme that would be a little different
and give you some individuality? Why do
you get yourself up in every way to look
like a woman? Why"
But he had fled. He could stand fair
display of nerve, but this was too much.

The Imaginative Capital Guide.

patriotism and magnanimity which always
characterizes the wealthy Texan, he paid
$4,000 cash for the picture, had it brought

House of Representatives. Ladies and

Debs is not receiving much encourage
ment with his socialistic schemes. George
Venable Smith, Washington's state i'm
migration commissioner, says it is absurd
for him to talk of capturing the state
legislature, as ne would find that even
the socialists of the state themselves
would enter in the fight against him.
Mrs. Annie Besant says he is ahead of
time, and will have to wait until man can
be educated up to higher spiritual plane
where he will be absolutely unselfsh. But
the hardest blow of all comes from Cen
eral Master Workman Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor, who says Debs is
crazy. With all of these difficulties star
ing him in the face, it is hard to see
how sane man would continue in an
attempt to perpetrate such visionary
