Widows often get into dilemmas, but
it is not often that widow gets into
such dilemma as French widow has
got into. She must choose between
love and duty. The duty consists in
hanging on to good wad of money,
and the love is-love. The French
courts have just decided in favor of the
validity of win in which the testator
after leaving all his property to his
so to the next heirs in the event of her
marrying again. The fortune was a
large one but after enjoying it for ten
years the widow began to resent the
terms imposed upon her. She there
fore appealed to the Civil Tribunal to
quash the restrictive clause of the will
on the ground that compulsory celibacy
was contrary to the conditions of pub
lie order and morality. The judges,
however, upheld the will, and the Wild
ow carried the case to the Appeal court
of Caen Her counsel argued that any
one who, beyond the cases foreseen by
law, prohibited man or woman from
marrying struck a blow at the very
principle of family-the very basis of
society. The Caen court adopted this
view and reversed the decision of the
civil Tribunal. At this juncture the
next heirs interfered, being unwilling
to lose their chances of reversion, and
carried the question up to the Court of
Cessation, which confirmed the original
decision of the Civil Tribunal, and pro-
nounced the will legal and binding in
every respect. The widow, therefore,
must remain single or forfeit her
money.

was a little slow in rising, and acquired
a reputation for this among those
thrifty people. In the course of his
round of boarding houses of the town
he was destined to reach the house OF
Elhu Cramton, father Of the Hon.
!: John w. Cramton, a famous landlord
I of the Bardwell House. Cramton was
known far and wide as an early User.
His regular hour in summer was $50
o'clock, and in winter five o'clock. He
ate his breakfast shortly after the ris-
ing hour and every member of the
household had to be on hand. Mr..
Cramton learned that the schoolmas-
ter's morning habits were too easy go

household.
This threat was not long in reaching
the young schoolmaster's ears. He
formed his plans and bided his time.
In the course of events his belongings
/ were transferred to the Cramton house,
4 and he followed them. His room was
assigned to him, and he took good care
| to provide himself with an interesting
/ novel for the first night. When he

went to his room, bundled himself up
that was not the day of steam heated

in big chair and began his book.
/ The night was long, and the cold
chills played hide and seek up and
down the schoolmaster's back, but his

it came two o'clock; the book was
closed, and Schoolmaster Powers left
his room, candle in hand. In a mo-
ment he was pounding at the door of
Mr. Cramton's room, impatiently and
emphatically. After his rat-tat-tat
had echoed through the house for some
time the old man woke up and yelled

so UND, BUf SLOU.

Much was expected of the Indianapo-
lis conference, and the expectation was
realized so far as what might be called
the literary work of the conference is
concerned. The resolutions are as
sound as party platform. They say
that the present gold standard is to be
maintained; treasury notes (greenbacks
and Sherman notes. should be gradually
retired, without injurious contraction Of
the currency; if the treasury is to con-
tinue to issu notes, the function of
issuing notes should be separated from
that of receiving and paying out rev.
enue; there is required a banking sys-
tenn which will provide credit facilities
more generally throughout the country,
with more nearly equal rates of inter-
est, and will supply for circulation
bank notes in volume proportional to
the varying needs of business.

ranged, but there can fairly be criti-
cism of the lack of prompt action. In
the opinion of Representative Walker,
chairman of the House committee on
banking and currency reform, the con-
ference, while correct as respects the
principles it has adopted, has erred
greatly in its tactics. Instead of shap-
ing a measure for his committee to
press upon the next house. with the
backing of the business men of the
entire Union, the conference has by res
olution restricted itself to asking con-
gress to sanction the appointment of q
monetary commission ''to consider the
entire question and report to congress
at the earliest day possible" This, ac-
cording to Chairman Walker, involves

CHICAG0,s THREE HUSDRED

Ii reports which come from Chicago
are true that wideawake and progress
sive and all-conquering city is about to
show its superiority to New York in a.
way that will take the shine off the
latter city so completely that it can
not be put on again soon New York
has a Four Hundred Chicago is to
have Three Hundred, which will
prove that Society is more exclusive in
Chicago than in New York. The pow
err and the dominion of Chicago's Three
Hundred are to be established on the
10th of February, when the second ball
of "the Assembly, is to be held. This
function is to be a final and conclusive
test of "who is who in the western
metropolis, it being stated that those
who are invited, and no others, will
have right to consider themselves
members of the exclusive social set. ;"
Further information is given that the
number worthy of this distinction is
surprisingly small considering the
leaps and bounds in population that
Chicago has for the past few years
| been making by annexation. immigra-
ton, imitation and exaggeration.
| Not the least interesting statement
made concerning the establishment of
Chicago's Three Hundred is that Rob-
ert T. Lincoln Is the person to whose
| scrutiny the list Of invitations was
| submitted, and on whose Judgment de-
| ponds the social fate of various anlbi-
tious Chicagoans. Mr.. Lincoln be-
comes the newly chosen social dicta-
tor of Chicago" position for which
he is doubtless qualified, and which it
must be assumed he will adorn, as
otherwise he would not have secured
| the honor amid the competition of
other candidates. Some are asking
what Honest Old Abe would say if
he We're on earth and saw his son en-
gagged in picking out Three Hundred
! from Chicago's great collection of peo-

A Three Hundred is certainly more
select and exclusive than a -Four Hun

FASHION NOTES.
A Trick with Beads.

Separate skirts are being offered at
ridiculously low prices, but don't get a
plain satin one, no matter how cheap
buy brocade pattern, something with
sweeps of line and curves and all over
effect. Then invest in lot of beads.
Often it is easier to buy a few hand
some ornaments that include a lot of
different sized beads. A snip of the
scissors here and there and off the
beads tumble into the little box held
ready Now select some one point in
the pattern of the skirt and place a
bead in that particular point at each
OF its repetitions in the skirt. That is
hardly half hours work. and already
the skirt takes on French effect Add
and add to the beads, always so dis
posing them that the skirt never seems
to be half finished. First one point

about prizes. Our idea is this, we

those who shall write the best adver-

know how many are interested. If we

sheets of $40 notes aggregating 5000.
1t is fifteen years since anything of the
kind has occurred there, and at that
time after much detective work to dis
cover the thief a registering machine
was found to have counted wrong.
With this in mind the first thing that
was done when the loss was discovered
some two weeks ago was to investigate
the registering machine, but as this
was found to be all right there is no
doubt of a real thief this time. The
chances of Identifying him however,
are very slim. as over 100 people handle
the money from the time it reaches the
