PERsONAL-

President Mckinley recently broke one
of the established rules Of the white house
by receiving the young ladies of the Bal
timore Latin School long after the hour
for public receptions.
W. d. Cornish, the commissioner in
chancery, who superiutended the sale of
the Union Pacific a few days ago, was en-
gagged IN the work about ten minutes, ana
received therefor the sum OF 100000.
When Senator Cockren of Missouri re-
ceives from one OF his constituents a re-
quest for public documents on a subject
he most invariably sends all the matter
available, even as far back as the war.
Senator Foraker Of Ohio is building
one of the largest and finest residences in
Washington in the very midst of the new
fashionable residence quarter, at the cor
ner of Sixteenth street and Madison place.
"A recent visitor to the home of the
famous author, Frank r. Stockton, says
that the touch of the lady is shown IN
every room in the house except the study
of the author, and here the tiger holds
undisputed sway.
1t is announced that the next direc-

The refining tendencies of Nicholas II

Tobacco and Cotton.

The planters of South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida are not suffering because Of
the current low prices OF cotton to the ex-
tent that they would in all probability
have suffered a few years ago with the
same price, for the reason that they are
now diversifying their crops and raising
their provisions. They are, however heavy
losers through the fact that more cotton
is being produced than the world wants,
or the ability of spectators to depress
the prices of the staple until the crop Is
all out of the hands of the producers. as
the case may be. But, whatever may be
the cause of low price of cotton, IL is evil
dent that there must be stll further diver
sihcation of crops. Cotton must be given
less attention and acreage, and other crops
more of each. Tobacco seems to be one
of the most promising money crops for
this section. After the disaster to tho
Florida orange groves many Of the grove
owners turned their attention to vegetable,
grain and tobacco crops, and to-day they
are more prosperous than they were be
fore their orange trees We're destroyed.
The orange trees are now growing again,
and the indications are that it will not be a
great while before the fruit will be as
great a source Of revenue in Florida as
ever before. But the planters will not
give up their vegetables, grain and to-
bacco and again depend altogether upon
oranges. The orange crop will be some
what in the nature Of an extra source Of
income.
There is considerable tobacco grown in
South Carolina, and more in Florida. Geor
git produces but little. The climate and
soil of this state, however, are well adapt
ed to the cultivation of the tobacco plant.
Tobacco growing in the state would not
be an experiment. Before cotton became
the great crop, tobacco was grown on the
Georgia seacoast, and for hundred miles
inland. 1t requires experience to grow and
cure tobacco successfully. Persons skilled
in cultivaung and curing the plant could
be brought from Virginia and North Car
olina, and the Georgians would be quick
TO learn. Florida has imported persons
skilled in the production of the Cuban
grades of tobacco and is now producing
hpA'eANCNs
No doubt many of the colored laborers
who have been brought into this state
from North Carolina to work on the tur-
pentlne farms once worked in tobacco
fields in the Old North state. and they
might be pleased to become tobacco hands
again.
Would it not be well for the farmers of
Georgia, especially those of the eastern
part of the state. to devote at least a
small acreage to tobacco next year? Their
planting might not reduce the cotton out
put or help raise the cotton market, bus
the tobacco would give them an extra
money crop With hog and hominy and
fruits and vegetables for home consump-
ton, and cotton and tobacco as crops with
which TO procure luxuries and swell bank
accounts, the southern farmers would soon
be ahead of the agriculturists of any other
part of the country.

A Yale story.

Recently a Yale beat" was sent to jail,
after swindling his classmates in while
sale fashion, says the Worcester Gazette.
He took the whole country for his field of
work. and visited prosperous classmate
in San Francisco, from whom he extracted
$50. Although Well-to-do, the Californian
did not like to waste $50, and resolved to
be stern the next time Yale man called.
His next visitor was a classmate who was
known as the dig in college, eighteen
years before. He seemed just as seedy as
he used to appear in the classroom, and
the Californian scented another appeal for
money. So he fortified himself, and when
asked how the world had used him. rela-
ted a doleful story of bad luck, debt and
poverty. He must have drawn the picture
pretty strong, for his visitor was deeply
moved. Suddenly the seedy class-mate
turned and said: Now, don't feel hurt
al my offer, but I wish you would take
$1,000 from me to use until you strike bet
ter luck. I really don't know what to do
with the money, or how to invest all
have, and shall be delighted to let you
nave it," There was an awkward pause,
an oUtburst and brief explanations. Then
both adjourned to the club to talk 1t over,
and the Californian learned how his old
classmate had STRUCK it rich with
prosperous corporation and was really
ready to give away money.

Nicely OF Etinuette.

A true gentleman usually feels that it
is as essential to be courteous to the least
as to the greatest, but etiquette does not
always recognize this, says Tlt-Bits. The
famous Talleyrand is reported to have
used a graduation of politeness in asking
his guests to take beef at dinner party
that he gave, The grade ran thus:
To prince of the blood: May l have
the honor of sending your royal highness
a little beef"
To a duke: 'Monseigneur, permit me
to send you a little beef?''
To marquis: Marquis, may / send
you a little beef?'
To a viscount: 'Viscount, pray have a
little beef"
To baron: Baron, do you take beef?'
To an untitled gentleman; Monsieur,
To his private secretary: "BeefT'
But there was yet an inferior parsonage
present, and to him Talleyrand uttered no
word. He simply looked at him, and made
an interrogative gesture with the carving
knife But if the meat were good, some
of us would not trouble much how we
were invited to it.

The Friendly Feeling of spain.
From the Chicago Chronicle (Dem.).

The release of the Competitor prisoners
is convincing proof of the friendly feeling
of the Spanish government for this coun-
try If the conditions had been reversed
it is doubtful If the United States would
have been so generous. The crew of the
Competitor were taken red-handed The
vessel was laden with arms and NUM-
tons of war destined for the Cuban in
surgents. Under any construction of in
terna tional law the Spaniards would have
been justified i'm inhicung the death PEN
atty imposed by the military court at
Havana. An unconditional pardon is an
example of leniency which will go far to-
ward strengthening the friendly relations
which have never been in danger of rup-
ture except through the efforts of blath-
erskites and mischief-makers on both
sides of the ocean.

Another Pre.IdentIoI Candidate.

A successful campaign seems to be all
that is necessary nowadays to bring a
public man into prominence as a presi
Dental candidate. Parties are looking for
candidates who are popular rather than
for men who have real merit Popular
men are very often men of merit but
all men of real merit are not popular.
These remarks are suggested by the eff
forts that are being made by some of the
New York politicians to get
up Presidential boom for
Alton B. Parker. recently elected chief
justice of the court of appeals of New
York on the democratic ticket.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Parker Is a
very popular man in New York, and, be-
sides, he is a man Of high character and
recognized ability. There was grave doubt
about his being elected. New York gave
President Mckinley a large majority, and
there were good reasons for thinking that
1t would give Judge Wallace, the republic
can nominee for chief justice, a majority.
Mr.. Parker, however. was elected by
plurality of $1,000.
While the position to which he has been
elected is a very desirable one, Mr.. Parker,
no doubt, would gladly give it up for
chance of being elected President. AL
though the campaign of 1900 is long way
Off the politicians are planning for it, The
suggestion of Mr.. Parker for the presi-
Dental nomination of the democratic party
may be only the outcropping of the ems
thusiasm over his success in the recent
New York campaign, or it may mean that
the democratic leaders In New York are
looking for candidate who can command
the support of all the democrats of the
country.

An investigation in Indianapolis has
shown that the prevailing epidemic of
diphtheria among school children has
been spread through the distribution of
pencils and penholders in the schools.
Under the system in vogue each child is
required to take its pencils and pens to
the teachers desk in the afternoon. They
are placed in a box together. and the next
morning are redistrlbuted. Each child may
thus have different pencil and penholder
every day. and as children often hold
them in their mouths, the doctors say the
disease is thus communicated. Hereafter
all pencils and penholders will be disin-
fected each afternoon.
