Patronage.
Special Wire to Sunday Light
Washington, April 24.-The triangu
lar fight for offices now going on in
side the Texas colony causes no little
amusement here. 1t is said an inti-
nation has been conveyed to Hawley.
Green and Grant that they must adj
just their differences. Grant pretends
to know nothing of this and will try
to maintain his grip on the Federal pa
| tronage in the Lone Star state.
The naming of Mrs. Morrow for post
mistress at Abilene is a masterstroke
of somebody. Although it may be
sentimental appointment it is hard to
oppose it. To oppose Sam Houston's
daughter for a public Office is generally
considered here as a great mistake in
any Texas politician who hopes to re-
tain public favor.

BEAUTY Hath CHARMS

BEAUTY Hath CHARMS
and all the charms which beau
ty likes best to don are shown
in our grand display Of fash
ionable jewelry for this season.
Jewels like these would en-

fascinating belle, and surely no
fair one would despise such
brilliant aids to her beauty.
Like personal loveliness, they
conquer admiration on sight
they score new victories at ev-
cry inspection. Those who
look over our stock do not
willingly stop with examina-
ton. Beauty may now be
made easily irresistible by a
few judicious purchases from
our display of up to date jew

Corn Flower Party in Bohemia.

Detroit Free Press.
The German population in Bohemia now
has adopted the corn flower as the emblem
of it's party out of compliment to old EN-
peror William, whose favortte flower it was,
and they are known as the Corn Flower
party. They are opposed to the present
Austrian Cabinet, owing to the concessions
of the latter to the national sentiments
of the czechs. and they are fighting the
government tooth and nail with so much
pertinacity and vigor that the corn flower
has now been placed under precisely the
same legal ban as the daisy.
Inasmuch as there are no less than
twenty-five distinct parties in the imperial
Parliament at Vienna, and about twenty
more in the national Legislature of Hun
gary at Pesth, it is sincerely to be hoped
that they will not follow the example of
the Italian irredenta and of the Bohemian
Germans in selecting a flower as their po-
litical emblem. Otherwise florists may just
as well shut up their shops .and retire from
business, since one flower after another will
be subjected TO the same legal disabilities
as the others above mentioned.
