President and Tsar.

President Faure, of France, has
planned to go to st. Petersburg in May,
to make a return visit to the Tsar. 1t
is unusual for a president to leave the
country while in Office, and the permits
sion of the two branches of the nation
al legislature will be asked. France
has no vice-president upon whom the
executive duties could be temporarily
devolved, and it is considered probable
that the chambers will authorize an
arrangement by which the presidents
powers can be temporarily vested in
the presidents Of the senate and cham
Der of deputies.

NEWEST NEW WOMAN.

She Is More Daring Than Are MOI

The newest woman is Miss Edna
Waymack of Bellefontaine, .. Hers Is
The distinction of being the only fem
mine out of door sign painter in the
United States, says the New York Jour
aal. Miss Waymack hesitates at moth
me in her line of business, no matter
low arduous the work. She has paint
ed huge advertising signs on the lace
Of perilously steep cliffs, task lew
men would undertake. Many large
spaces, such as barn sides, the roots OF
houses and the like, scattered all over
The country testify to the ability OF thls
young woman as a realistic DruSn-
wielder. She is perfectly at ease on
ladder or scaffold and she can scale
taut rope in a way to make an old tar
blush with envy. Swinging before the
Drecipitous face of mountain, she
often works for hours laying on al
phabetical color schemes with STEADY
hand and touch that never loses its
evenness. Miss Waymack has many
which she hopes to fulfil next summer
For the most part, her signs are made
IN the interests Of several large to-
pacco firms. The most daring piece OF
Sign-painting she has ever undertaken
is the lettering on the rough surface OF
a cliff at Bellefontaine, O. This rock
looms up above the surrounding mead
ow for a distance of some $50 feet with
a sheer fall of 300 feet to the base OF
the cliff. For four days Miss Waymack
swung at the top of this dizzy height
spending about eight hours each day on
the big sign she had engaged to paint
Every day, and all day long, a throng
Of men, women and children gathered
at the foot of the hill watching the
woman artist at work in the upper air
Miss Waymack is accustomed to this
sort Of thing, however, and is not the
least bit disturbed by the curious
crowds that usually watch her opera
lions and pass critical comment upon
her work. The working costume of the
intrepid artist consists of short, serv-
iceable skirt of blue serge, Jumper"
of the same material, and a Tam
O'Shanter cap pulled we'll down over
her face to keep out the rays of the
sun. In manipulating her brushes Miss
Waymack wears pair Of coarse nit
tens, Enthusiastically feminine fact,
just as are the dainty patent leather
boots that incase her small feet. Her
apparel is always ScruDIIlOusfy neat
scarcely paint speck being noticeable
on her garments. Miss Waymack has
been pursuing her unique career as a
sign painter since 1893, and has trav-
eled more and farther than is the case
with most business women. She is a
comely blonde and has enjoyed a good
common school education. Being a
bright conversationalist and a clever
pianist, she is much sought after in the
quiet social circles of Bellefontaine,
where she lives with her aged mother.

A benevolent King.

Oscar, the good king of Sweden,
who has obliged us all by consentng
to help us in the settlement of our diff
flculties, actual and potential, with
Great Britain, celebrates next Septem-
Der the twenty-fifth anniversary of his
accession to the throne, and the
Swedes in America are bestirring
themselves to send him a present.
They propose to raise some money,
spend half for a piece of plate, and
send the rest to be spent in charity.
That would please the king best, they
think, for he is very benevolent, and
when his subjects proposed, not long
ago, to give him a yacht, he asked
them to build a sanitarium instead;
and that though he is a sailor-bred,
and had no very good yachts, and
really needed one.-Harper's Weekly.

BLACK EYE FOR PlNGREE.
Standing Committees of Both Houses
Named Are Opposed TO Him.

Lansing. Mich. Jan. 14-Governor
Pingree was given black eye by Lieu
tenant Governor Dunstan and Speaker
Gordon, both naming standing commit
tees opposed to all the proposed Pingree
legislation thus far announced. The
senate railroad committee is solidly
against the governor and the house
committee nearly so. Anti-Pingree
men are in a large majority on all other
important committees, especially those
which will handle the Pingree bills.
State Senator Thompson, Pingree's
most bitter enemy. was made chairman
of the committee on cities and villages.
to which all the governors pet bills
affecting Detroit will be referred 1t is
thought by many that the matter has
been overdone. particularly in the SEN
ate, and that the governor will profit
by the throwdown. just as he did by the
nti-Pingree legislation enacted by the
last legislature.

weyIer's Policy for the Pac!ication of the
Island Is One of Destruction.
New York. Jan. IA Havana spe-
cjal says: General Weyler continues
the war of determination and destruc-
ton which. in his opinion. will end with
the modification of the island. From
Goyea to Tumbadero, distance OF ten
miles. in Havana province, all the farms
have been burned by the Spanish troops.
This means a loss of 100000 worth OF
property and the misery of hundreds
of families. Weyler attributes these
outraees to the insurgent bands, al
though everybody knows that they are
the work of Spanish columns under the
special instructions Of the captain gen.
eral.
This policy irritates the Spaniards
in Havana, who own properties in the
country or are interested in agricult-
ure. II is perfectly true that they are
irving to influence Madrid to recall
Weyler. But they do not dare to free
ly express their opinions. as they fear
the resentment of the Spanish immi-
grants. who highly approve of Weylers
system of exterminating the natives. 1t
is a matter of public notoriety that
Weyler has confiscated and converted
70 his personal fortune hundreds or
thousands of dollars in property on the
island. He has made over s50O,ooO
since he came to Havana and this has
been paid by Spaniards and noncom
batants. Weyler is getting rich very
fast
