Miss susan Sneeu, OF henuersop, anu
the As You Like 1t Club.
The stately colonial West Broad
way residence of Mr.. Moscoe Bur-
nett's seems made for the centre OF a
bounteous hospitality. Full of sumpt-
uous luxury, under flood OF electro
cal splendor, fragrant with flowers,
filed with good cheer and an appre.
ciative throng, Tuesday evening
marked it memorably in Paducah's
social annals. The entire lower floor,
consisting of four commodious rooms,
were thrown open to the guests from
eight until the wee small hours, and
the fair maids, stately matrons and
gallant knights dressed as in ''ye
olden times" with powdered tresses
and patches gliding through the
maze, Of the waltz, richly contributed
to brighten the beauty of the scene.
Mrs. Burnett gave cordial welcome TO
each arrival in her own inimitable,
gracious manner, ably seconded by
the host, Mr.. Burnett. Miss Sneed,
the honoree Of the fete, gowned in a
superb creation, with her delightful
personality and rare charm Of man
ner, added greatly to the enjoyment
of all.
Choice palms and potted plants
adorned every available nook in the
stately hall, while to the handsome
dining room rare cut flowers added
their spicy charm. From slender
vases they nodded glowing well
come, while floods of light and fine
damask, a CLEAN in silver, glass and
tinted CONNECTIONS converted the ban
quet room into a thing OF most
sumptuous beauty. The menu was
elaborate and faultless.
The most enjoyable and cleverly
executed cotilion of the season was
danced Thanksgiving evening at the
Palmer House, by the young men in
society and their friends, under the
fetching leadership of MIR. Cook Hus.

INTERESTING STORY OF AN IRON EGG.

INTERESTING STORY OF AN IRON EGG.
OF an iron egg in the Berlin Mu-
scum the following story is told:
Many years ago prince became
ailianced to a lovely princess, to
whom he promised to send a magnif-
icent gift as testimony Of his affec-
ton. In due time the messenger ar
rived, bringing the promised gift,
which proved to be an iron egg. The
princess was 50 angry to think that
the prince should send her so value
less a present that she threw it upon
the floor, when the iron egg opened,
disclosing a silver lining. Surprised at
such discovery, she took the egg in
her hand, and, while examining il
closely, discovered a secret spring,
which she touched, and the silver
lining opened, disclosing a golden
yolk. Examining it closely
again she found another
spring, which, when opened,
disclosed within the golden yolk
ruby crown. Subjecting that to an
examination she touched tiny spring,
and forth came the superb diamond
ring with which he atlianced her to
himself.

She can rumple up fifty dollars
worth of dress goods, and buy reel
of thread, with an order to have it de-
livered four miles away, in a style
that will transfiX the proprietor of
the establishment with admiration.
She can-but what's the use? A wo-
man can do anything or everything,
and do it well. She can do more in n
minute than man can in an hour,
and do it better. She can make the
alleged lords of creation bow down to
her own sweet will, and they will
never know it. Yes, and more than
that, she can tell good beer from bad.
That's why all sensible women insist
on having era er" Beer. They know

Statehood and be ablo and worthy
to share tbs privileges and obliga-
tions Of State.
One OF the most amazing things
in this whole business is the cynical
frankness with which, in its official
papers, the Administration admits
that annexation is necessary because
the islands cannot be run by us in
any other way, while there is not the
slightest attempt to show that they can,
after annexation, be administered by
any method provided by our ConstitU-
ton or ,Oithi,s the po,Uers Of our Federal
Government.
Poor Mr.. Sherman's vacillation in
this matter exposes him TO much un-
pleasant comment, but at least it is
more creditable to have lucid inter-
walls of right thinking than to be, as
those really responsible are, consis-
tently lucid and wickedly wrong.
The authors of this wretched plan kaotO
as aOeN as NJ. Sherman eUer kneW that
the islands are hopeleSsly unfit for po-
pulation of our race and habits Of life ;
thai they are noU, and are liable ARRAYS
to be, worked only by what is equivalent
to SLAVE labor; that the only field they
offer to americans is the counterpart Of
the Gnte-b.llum plantations Wih WhiteS
for overSeers and ownerS and coolies for
1corkmen; that in the seventy years
in which the have been in "virtual
dependence upon the benevolent
protection OF the United States"
their condition has gone from bad
to worse, and that it would De as
easy and as rational to incorporate
in our system, were it free to us,
Madagascar or tho Philippines. But
they have not the excuse OF the I'm
fortunate Secretary Of State, that
though they know these things,
they cannot realize them. They do

Hawaii as a State, or Not at All.

Mr.. Secretary Sherman has per-
mitted a formal and authoritative
statement that while he is in favor
OF annexation of Hawaii he is OPP
posed to its admission as State.
This probably is due to survival
in his confused and enfeeble brain
Of the sound reasoning on which he
has in the past opposed annexation
on any terms and in any shape. If
he does not see now that there is no
place in the Federal system for a
permanent Territory, or for a COM
munity that is perpetually doomed
to exclusion from Statehood, that
does not affect the fact. 1t only be-
trays the pitiful loosening of his
hold upon the fact.
Undoubtedly the adventurerS qOho
hare foiSted this scheme upon the i'd
ADMINISTRATION would be content if the
Hawaiian Islands could be held by
the United States as a "crown colo
ny" was held by England two cen
turtles ago, or EARNED as France
once "farmed" its provinces, or
turned over to political favorites for
exploitation as Cuba has been by
Spain, or given, as Rhodesia is, to a
company of traders and plunderers.
But for any of these modes of enriching
the SchemerS, the United States system
has no precedent and no authority. We
recognize only communities, how
ever, inchoate and embryonic they
may be, which must finally grow to

The Hawaiian Plot.

hoIS IL SudptcI OHt " tue hd-
waiian annexation scandal:
l. Those who arranged the "dea"
by which John Sherman resigned
his seat in the Senate to Mark
Hanna aud went into the Cabinet
were fully aware of Sherman's
lamentable mental condition. They
knew that his memory was gone and
his judgement and other faculties
seriously impaired.
2. Although they we're warned
that the arduous duties of Secretary
OF State would inevitably cause a
complete mental collapse, they went
straight on with the cold-blooded-
ness characteristic OF uncurbed po-
litical ambition.
3. Knowing that Sherman had to
be watched constantly, and was ,b-
solutely incapable Of performing his
duties, Judge Day was appointed
Assistant Secretary OF State, with
the tacit understanding that as soon
as Sherman "resigned"-which is
the polite way OF saying "broke
down"-Day was to have a place
more in accord with his claims upon
the Presidential favor
4. Since Sherman has been Score
tary OF State he has daily and hour
ly been making it manifest that he is a
fgurehead and tool. And his friends
have realized that he is too feeble
mentally to understand how he is
being used.
5. Taking advantage Of his mental
incGpacity, the Hawaiian annexation
lists hare pushed on their plot. Sher-
man did not Urite the report favoring
annexation and signed Nth his name
He signed it without being able to APP
preciate its p,trport or the damage he
wdS Unconsciously inficting upon his
reputation.
6. Sherman was misled into be-
lieving that Japan was about to
seize the islands, His impaired
mind was unable to see the patent
folly OF this annexationist canard,
and although it has been completely
exploded he is still repeating it
when he is not re- asserting his OPP
position to annexation.
z. John Sherman IS not morally or
legally responsible for the Hawaiian
annexation treaty. He has been shame
fully used by the annexation plotters.
They are seeking to make the peo-
pie believe that Sherman has be-
come annexationist, when they know
that Sherman, the intellect, the
statesman, is no longer,
And this only Chapter One. The
plot as it unfolds will be found to
be in keeping with this black begin

national danger.

COMMISSIONER Pensions Evans
doesn't say in terms, as his illustri-
Gus predecessor, Corp" Tanner
said, God help the surplus Per,
hap5 Mr.. Evans doesn't say it be-
under Dingleyism, is minus guam
tity-on the wrong side of the ledger.
But he says, surplus or deficit,
there must be $6,200,000 more provi-
ded for pensions this year, that
much on top of the Sal 300 900 apprO-
priated in the annual bill. So much
more robbery, for it is nothing else.
Not more than one-third Of the
money appropriated for this object
is honestly given or received. Gar.
field was right, nineteen years ago
when he said, in substance, that the
pension expenditure could not hon
estly, or with any show of propriety,
rise above 35,00O,00O, and from that
height lit should gradually decline. "
But Garfield had not been taught
the "rerating" tricks. He was not up
to arrears of pensions steals. He
did not dream of such piece of
shameless grabbing of the revenues
as the dependent" pension bill.
He was stupid enough to hold the
pension expenditures down to some
thing resembling an honest altitude,
and hence he apologized to the house
and the country when the total rose
above $30,000,000.
And now the head of the pension
bureau airily says that $4,000 is
mot an appalling excess" when it
is loaded on tn a total already appro-
priated of Sal 100000!
From what he further says, we in

once saw a father walk up to a
map his little boy had made and
pinned on the wall. He stood before
it a long time in silence, and in sill
ence walked away. The little fell
low was sitting in the room, and his
father knew he was there. He was
watching with his eager child's
eyes, waiting anXiously for word
of approval. AS none came, his poor
little face fell unhappily. Straight
into the next room walked the
father, and said, carelessly: Rob
ert has drawn very clever little
map in there. Look at it when you
go in"
did you tell him it was clever?"
asked IA judicial listener, following
from the room where little Robert
still sat.
"Why, no. I ought to have done
so. never thought to mention it,"
"Well, you ought to be ashamed
of yourself" was the deserved reply.

We ought all of us to be ashamed
of ourselves dozen times a day for

little to say nice things, and the
result in anOther's pleasue is out of

praise to the face, open disgrace. y
No such thing. The proverb is
wrong. Praise to the face is one of
the sweetest things on earth, and
there is no disgrace in it, unless un-
truth enters, or unless the praise is
undeserved. 1t is the more grateful
because no one may ask for open
praise and receive by asking; its fine
flavor is quite gone, and it is but
flattery.-Harper's Bazaar.
