vICToRlA,s THREE CROWNS.
Has Only Worn the State Crown of
Grent Dritnin Once in Her Life.


The only crown that Is likely to be used
during the stately functions of the COM
memoration, says the st. James Gazette, is
the tiara, which is familiar to this genera
tion in sketches of the queen when holding
drawing room. This was manufactured by
the state jewellers in 1862 at the personal
cost of her majesty, and. in general terms
may be said to weight eighty troy ounces
1t Is light shell of gold, entirely incrusted
with diamonds, 523 rose diamonds, making
ali aggregate OF 3,196 stones. 1t is retained
in the charge of the sovereign, of whom it is
personal possession, and to all intents and
purposes never requires any attention. 1t
was specifically devised for use in conjunc-
tion with a veil, and. apart from the draw
ing rooms, has scarcely been used at all.
This crown was preceded in point of time
by diadem or circlet of gold, cholcely be-
teweled, which was made for the queen in
1858 The stones used on this occasion, which
are wholly diamonds were in the main crown
jewels, and the diadem will therefore remain
the property of the crown, although the cost
OF mounting them for the use of her majesty
was borne out OF the privy purse This dia-
dem is technically known as a circlet, sur
mounted by the crcss patee (whereof the
Maltese cross is decoration varanD and the

be anything they wanted to be, and that It

prejudice along this line, and 1t did not par

encouragement among the men and women

Assistant Corporation Counsel Cora b.
Hrtzel of Chicago walks, talks and acts like
woman who likes to be like man. She
doesn't care a fig for Delsarte. Society
novels are philosophical flimses. She loves
Thackeray and Blackstone, writes without
putting the point of her pencil in her mouth
and whittles with the edge OF the knife
blade toward her body She plants her foot
down hard when she steps, is an expert in
bringing legal fights to a compromise settle
ment, wears shirt waists and collars and
the biggest law firms in town trust her with
the preparation of their briefs. She is and
doee all this, relates the Chicago Times
Herald, but she lodges when a man asks her
how old she is-proof that she is woman
despite the fact that her name is on the
Office door as lawyer.
Miss Hirtzel has lived in Chicago a good
part of her life. She is what she is be-
cause she has earned the distinction. 1t has
never been her fortune to walk a path of
roses. 1t probably would have made no

at any function whatever since the act OF

Is excellently shown in the current coinage,
In which it is half-concealed by a veil, which
was worn in the earlier years of the reign,
when this form OF circlet was in ordinary
use; and indeed there would seem to be some
doubt as to whether the particular form OF
coronet depicted on the present coin issues
has ever been adopted by the queen In actual
use at all. 1t was this dadem, and another
of like shape that preceded it, which were
used when her majesty opened or prorogued
Parliament. and also on such occasions as
the marriage of the princess royal.
On every occasion on which the queen Wis
tied the House of Lords the state crown was
taken out OF the regalia room in the Tower OF
London and was borne before her on a cush-
Ion. Except for this purpose the crown has
only left the tower on two occasions during
the reign-once for repair (some part of

of the Plant.
The mystery which for a long time
shrouded the cultivation OF orchids will be
dissipated by the following information
given by one of the most successful growers
of this beautiful plant in New York City.
THE most easily grown orchids, that is
for the amateur" said this gentleman, "are
the cypripediums, laelias, calanthes and
dendrobiums The conditions of our northern
latitude make some culture changes neces-
sary, and we should try to have the plants
after the towering season, rest as long as
possible. which can only be done by keeping
them very cool, dry and airy.
After resting the bulbs should be set
on sand In seed pans or cutting boxes, in
temperature Of from 60 to 60 degrees, the
sand being kept moist so as to encourage
new growth. After the young roots are
fairly started there should be no delay in
getting the bulbs potted. as there Is always
great danger OF breaking them. For potting
material use good fibrous turf, shaking
out as much as possible the lne soil. also

The State Relief, or Millsaps,
Committee has decided to invest
the balance of the State donation
of S65. 200 in freights, so that the
drouth sufferers can secure corn at
Western prices on which to feed
their stock and bread themselves
to make another crop.
An exception will be made in
the case of Winn and Grant, where
their portion of said fund will be
invested in purchase of corn to be
given to their sufferers.
The action Of the State Commit
tee is an Endorsement of the plan
of relief adopted by the Freeman
committee in this parish, and is by
far the most effective method ex-
cept in cases of the most extreme
destitntion which must and will be
provided for by private charity.
Mr.. Freeman has ordered up to
date 40 car loads of corn, about
$4,000 bushels. He has received
bills of lading on one or two of
the first orders, and hopes to have
some of the corn in for distribu-
ton in about a week.

A Good Man.

Gen. VIM. j. Behan of 1ber
vile, was in our city Tuesday, at
tending the meeting of stockhold,
ers and officers of the n. and r.
L. Y. Railway, in which he is {
large stakeholder and Vice Prcsl
dent of the company,
Gen. Bchan has other large prop
erty interests in our parish, and is
we'll aud favorabIy known to many
of our people.
Anent his visit here, we notice
in number of papers tho strong
advocacy of his appointment to
the important position of Collect
or of Customs at New Orleans, by
the incoming administration.
Because of his business i,lentifi-
cation with this parish and city,
because of his wide experience in
filling Offices of great honor and
trust, because of his personal worth
and geniality, and because of his
original and answering friend
ship for and support of Mckinley
Tor President, we would be highly
pleased with his appointment, and
believe it would redoard to the
advantage and honor alike of the
State and the Mckinley admins
tratiOn.
While weare not Il Republican,
we have been with them in a State
fight, which was one of the hardest
fought, most honorably conducted
and most fairly won of any cam
paign ever waged in Louisiana.
In this fight, Gen. Behan was one
of the foremost leaders, remain
ing at the front until the crown
ing act Of infamy was perpetrated
at Baton Rouge last Spring, while
other so-called Republicans, who
now aspire to the same position as
the General, were buried in obliv-
ion and inactivity in New Orleans.
But the man who beats Gen. BE-
han will "get up before day" and
we wish him a long continuance
his useful and honorable life.

The Shoddy King.

That was a chilly bath into which the
wooden goods men were plunged by Sig
mund Muhlhauser, the Sloddy King, OF
Cleveland.
These manufacturers were all getting
along SO nicely and smoothly before Mr.
Bingley the other day They sheepishly
scratched one another's backs, in the most
fraternal communion.
But. out of the clear sky came bolt
OF shoddy; and it struck them hard-hard,
because 1t was so unexpected; and hard
again, because it was impossible for them
to dodge.
Mr.. Muhlhauscr manages thelarge shoddy
mills of his father (who died a short time
ago. in Cleveland, Ohio. He EMPLOYS be.
tween six and seven hundred men women.
and youth of both sexes in the aforesaid
mills, where he reduces his rags and
coarse wool to shoddy
He wants a lower duty on rags, and on
some coarse woods. He claimed this in
behalf of the best interests of the all wool
manufacturers. Naturally, he was asked
why he said SO. He replied that he knew
what he was talking about, because he
sold his shoddy to these all wool weavers
and makers Of cloth.
The moment he made this assertion, the
air OF the committee room was full and
vibrant with the deniaIs of the assembled
merchants. They literally wanted to fleece
himi In the confusion member of the
committee, Mr.. McMilIin, secured from
Muhlhauser a promise that he would fur
nish the committee with complete list
those wooden goods men who made use
of his shoddyo r,4l. -
Muhlhauser wanted to explain further;
but the chairman was pretty well worn
out. and he asked for an Adjournment,
which was carried.
Nevertheless, we say that Muhlhauser
did well-for shoddy.
