When one is away from home letters

precious.
The genuinely appreciate how much
we care for anyone needs only the EN-
phasis of separation.
Few women walk we'll, and now that
trailing gowns are coming in vogue the
task will be a harder one than ever.
ESoft felt hats in Alpine shape, with
scarfs, are the latest bits Of rainy day
millinery worn by modish women.
AS soon as we see some simple article
patented and making fortune we al
ways feel mad that the idea didn't oc-
cur to us.
A woman is responsible for the state
ment that members of her sex do not
indulge in real heart to heart talk, as
men friends do.
The woman who fondly declares that
she would rather die than to wear q
made-over gown is not apt to be delug-
ed with matrimonial offers.
A mans intentions may generally be
sized up as serious when he calls again
after the young woman of the house
has played the banjo to him.
Many woman is blamed for inter-
fering between husband and wife when
she would be the happiest creature
alive to see them on a pleasant and
congenial basis.
It does seem though the average wo-
man promenader purposely stands at
the intersection of the streets when she
and three or four other friends start in
on prolonged conversation.
When you haye quarreled with man
and decided never to look at him again
isn't it embarrassing to have him sit
down in the vacant seat next to you in

The rats used by some young women
to make the fashionable ponpadour
have horrid way of squirming about,
so that when the hats removed the un-
happy feminine looks as though her
coiffure were built on the bias.
The surest way to win a woman's
sympathy for murder is to have the
woman for whom he has committed the
crime turn against him, as in the case
of Thorn and Mrs. Mack. But even
that is no excuse for a deluge Of dough
nuts and other dainties.

Although the great master hath said
there is nothing ina name," the world
knows better. The name Burglar"
has doubtless cost the owner of the
play thousands of dollars. The impres.
sion created by the title Of the play is
misleading. There is none of the blood
and thunder Bowery style, although
one would not think so unless one had
seen the performance. 1t is more truly
that style of dramatic composition that
in modern stage nomenclature is called
society drama, and is lightened with
touches of pure Thomas comedy, which
comes out SO strong in his great play,
alabama.
The opening scene is laid in the home
of the wealthy. The happiness of the
particular home in question is marred
by the fact that the husband and father
turns out to be burglar, escapes arrest
by compromise and goes away. He is
captured, and in escaping from Jail is
supposed to be shot and reported dead,
The wife marries again, and in the Sec
ond act comes the news that her first
husband is not dead. The burglar,
bent on plumber, visits the home of his
wife, not knowing it is such, and is
discovered by his own little daughter,
whereupon ensues one of the most
original scenes ever seen on the stage.
The play has been seen here before,
and is well-known, being taken from
Mrs. Brunett's charming sketch,
"Editha's Burglar" This sketch Mr..
Augustus Thomas has enlarged upon
and turned into four -act play of great
strength, but the interest still centerG
about Editha and her burglar, whom
she enjoins to "burgle quietly" and
the third act is consequently the act Of
the play. Jobe's Opera House Satur-

lawyers of corporations doing business
in Tennessee are ignorant Of these
statutes, of the laws and requirements
governing or pertaining to corporations
in this state it is inexcusable ignorance
on their part. There are few, if any
corporations, we take it, doing busi-
ness in this state in ignorance of its
corporation laws, and those who under
take to disregard or defy these laws
may count on getting into trouble.
The money lender, as we'll as the bor-
rover, is expected to obey the law.
BY his reference to the "chancery
practices" of this state we suppose this
luminous critic means the chancery
practice. Tennessee is a rather economi-
cal state and would regard more than
one chancery practice as inexcusable
extravaganza. Suits in chancery are
not disposed of as rapidly as police
court cases, but there are few states in
which chancery cases are disposed of
more rapidly than in Tennessee. The
statement that "a man who makes q
loan in Tennessee stands nine chances
in ten of losing q considerable sum of
the money, if not the entire principal, :"
is such stupid lie that it carries its
own refutation. So, too, is the charge
that nothing affords the average Ten
nessean SO much pleasure as being able
to borrow money and never repay it. |"
There may be few of this kind, but we
should think their credit would soon
be exhausted. But here is a gem.
Mark ye, reader, and note we'll: "If
the judiciary of Tennessee were imbued
with some of the principles of northern
honesty, it would be better for the
reputation of the state" What do you
think of this? Remember, this revela-
tion of profound truth is made free of
charge-to Tennessee, We should
hasten at once to import few northern
judges. They may come high but we
ought to have 'em, for hath not the
sapient editor of the Baltimore Journal
For Barter and Sale SO advised us?
This practice of selecting our judges
from among the lawyers of the state is
very reprehensible and should be i'm
mediately abandoned, in accordance
with the advise which shines upon us
from Baltimore According to this
dispenser of profound wisdom and good
advice we would by importing our
judges from the north secure superior
brand of judicial honesty and would
also keep in check our "most respect
able" lawyers who "betray every trust
imposed IN them" Besides if we en-
ployed good, honest northern Judges
we might induce the Baltimore Journal
of Commerce to revise its recommends
tions as to making leans in Tennessee
aud advise a reduction of interest from
200 to say 150 per cent.
We beg pardon of our readers for de-
voting so much space to this cheap lit
tie Baltimore slanderer. He should
not be taken seriously. His name is
unknown to us. and his usurer's week
ly guide has very limited circulation.
He has the ambition of Joe Mulhattan
and Eli Perkins without their ability.
He has the venom of snake without
its sting. His bray shows that he is an
ass; his language shows that he is &
malicious, villainous slanderer. He has
probably been a pack peddler in Ten

Do not depend upon snuhts, inhalsnts
or other local applications. Catarrh is
a constitutional disease, and can be
successfully treated only by means of a
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sar-
saparilla, which thoroughly purifies the
blood and removes the scrofulous taints
which cause catarrh. The great num-
ber of testimonials from those who have
been cured of eatarrh by Hoods Sar-
saparilla prove the unequalled power of
this medicine to conquer this disease.
If troubled with catarrh give Hoods
Sarsaparilla fair trial at once.
