Po1sE THE THING TO BE DESIRED.

New YCrk Evening Sun.
 s.I4'If I Were asked to name what to my mind is he most telling at. ribute of char aoter," said the sagacious woman, q should say-pCise. Really, I kEow noth- ing more. effective either as regards the
 individual OF those with whom she comes in contact. It apprals to people somehow far more than any other trait. Beauty, cieVerness, amia bility, symrethy-all these are very wsM in their way: but 1 dloubt if any of them ever prove half as potent as poise the m21ifeS tation of a perfec- equilibrium of mind and soul. I suppose it is largely because SD few of us possess 1t. We always envy and nd- mire what does-'t belong to us, you know. Flao,dity of temperament is, indeed, all that is rare, particularly when it is a schooled and disciplined placidity, not merely a cowlike calm, but a cool .epase, significant of grea. reserve strength and force. So much to be d sired is ahe quail ity, however that many undescerning persons are willing to accept the imita- tion fer the real; in other words, the 'cowlike' calm oftsn passes for repose. That's why stupidity is 90 often put up with, ev5n looked up to. People :till cling to the erTcnsous if long -esta blished notion that still waters run deep, and think that because one says nothing, it is because she has great deal to keep silent about. About the only leg that conceit has to stand upon is that it is often mistaken for boise. The unclever observer sees the supreme sa tisfaction and takes 1t for granted that there must be something to be satisfied about, go she accordingly respects and envies he p0sgssser. Yes, boise is a quality that in it's real form or it's counterfeit present. ment is all that is appealing to the many of us who are continually losing our bal ance or individuality. We long TO ac- quire it, and we are naturally drawn to any cme who merely appears to pos sess it. Tt is one of the most attractive traits on record"

The New York price on the contrary obstinately re- fused to remain at a lower level at a parity with London. There was some selling in the final dealings seeing the pessimist atti- tude of the New York market This pessi- mistic mood of the local dealers, discour- aged London from buying in this market even with higher range prevailing in their own market. Arbitrage operations were in- significant. The close in London showed the prices of Americans still above the New York parity.

~ost-n Latter

New York, A. Til 22.-(Special)-The news from the south concerning crop develop ments was unfavorable today, and the news from Europe was encouraging, yet the cot ton market was very dull and prices barely held their own. Liverpool sent us good dispatch again this morning, the cables re- porting that market to be one sixty-fourth higher. The opening here was slightly bet ter. The fluctuations during the day were narrow and represented chiefly the trans- actions of the local operations. The good business in spots was the best feature of the day. August opened at 719, declined to 7.1S, advanced to 7.21, and closed at 7.1S to 7.19, with the tone quiet. No one seems inclined to be aggressive on either side at present.

 There Is another way of looking at the plan of Dr. Lang. It helps the pocket. Naturally, when a physician can save bird of this size, he surely has third more time to devote to patients whom lie could not otherwise visit.

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-12-03

AS Mr.. Wick is trying to find out the
reasons why the churches do not appeal
to business men of good moral character,
we invite his attention to a feature OF a
church fair now in progress in this city.
We quote from the account of the fair
published in another newspaper
Last night the young men fairly
swarrned about table No. 5. presided over
by Misses Bertha Scheiber and Annie
Zoeller. The attraction was a magnln-
cent pair of silk garters with a SILVER
buckle. The carriers had a label tackea
on with the inscriptions: "Al good thlngs
come high"
The young men f1ocked about the gar
tiers all night long like flies around a
pot of molasses. Every man in the crowd
was ready to take chances in those gar,
tiers. Misses Scheiber and Zoeller had al
they could do to answer questions ABOUT
them.
Some of the other girls, whose tapieS
did not wear carriers, were jealous ana
talked of having the carriers suppressed
Table No. S. however, did such an I'M
mense business that the managers OF the
fair concluded to let the carriers with the
label remain on exhibition.
Perhaps, if he thinks a little, Mr.. WICK
may find here answers to nearly all his
questions, not excepting No. 6.

AMUSEM ENT
Hen.cheI Song Reeital.

Mr.. and Mrs. Georg Henschel gave at
Chickering Hall, New York, last evening.
one of those delightful song recitals for
which they have long been famous. They
had an audience which filled almost every
seat in the house, and the applause which
rewarded their efforts was frequent and
cordial.
The programme was well calculated to
bring out the best qualities of the artistic
couple. 1t was full of graceful and delicate
selections, to which they did full justice.
The most serious effort undertaken by
Mrs. Henschel was LISTS "Lorelei." a
beautiful original. The lady showed con-
siderable dramatic feeling and power of
expression, and, on the whole, the piece
was the artistic success of the evening.
Some of the other things she sang were
Haydn's Canzonet. MY Mother Bids Ne
Spring by her husband, and INDIAN
Village" Goring Thomas.
Among Mr.. Henschel's selections, wit
toria,' cantata by Carissimi, "Aufer-
atchen,'' his own composition and
Loewe's Henry the Fowler are deserx-
breadth of expression and exquisite shad-
Mr.. and Mrs. Henschel sang together a
duet from .Giannina e B~ernadone,' by
Cimarosa, "Oh, That we two were
X ying'-not the well known arrange
ment Of Charles Kingsley's touching lines,
but one by Mr.. Hensehel with a tone OF
depression not in keeping with the idea Of
children with violets p~laying''--and a
charming couplet from L Nouveau
Seigneur du Village" by Boildieu. 1t is
needless to say that all three were most
charmingly given.
Another Henschel song recital is to be
given next Monday afternoon.

Dinrreyl.m and Enngh,enment.

The State Gazette is very anxious to
stop the eaks in the Post Office Depart
ment. Certain wicked publishers have
been taking advantage of poor old Uncle
SANS simplicity and distributing good
reading matter at very cheap rates among
the people. This is highly offensive to the
Dingley organ, because it costs money.
OF course if the Jackass Tariff were
doing even as well as the despised Wilson
law, it would be different. The "Gazette's''
hired poet would doubtless be in favor of
having his own and other literary fellers'
wares sent cheap through the malls. But
when the party is threatened with a de-
fciency of 500, oOO. 900 in the first year of
its brand new tariff. everything else must
be sacrificed to cutting down expenses
even popular education and entertain
ment.
Therefore the Red Dog luminary has
constructed a creation of fancy" in
which he advocates the abolition of the
second class mail matter, and the taxing
OF reading matter when transmitted
through the mail, at the same rate as
other descriptions of merchandise"
