HINTS TO vElL.WEARERS.

The most important hint on the wear
ing of wells comes from the oculist. II
Is: Don't"
The economical girls rule is: al
ways buy thin chiffon. black and white.
1t will wcsh like linen; it is always in
conspicuous. It does not tear, and it
does protect the face from the breezes."
The esthete cries aloud: Don't,
don't, don't wear wells with big
'splotches' of black on them. 1t makes
the prettiest girl look like the victim
of some hidcous plague"
The complexion specialist entrsats
reil-wearers thus: "Whatever you do.
don't wear dusty wells. Face steaming
and massage will not undo the damage
to the skin caused by soiled and dusty
bits of chiffon and tulle."
The conservative dame says: "Never
wear a veil that is conspicuous in color
or design. Avoid the greens that give
a jaundiced' appearance to their wear
ers and reds that no one but silly nov
elty-seekers would think of destroying
their complexions with. Wear fine
tulles. chiffons and malines, with mod.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Cleaned By Telegraph and Mail
PERSONAL AND POLIrICAI.

fERSONAL AND POLITICAL
W. A. HARRIS, of Leavenworth coun-
ty, has been nominated to succeed Sen
ator. PETER as United States senator
for Kansas. The nomination is equiv
alent to an election.
THE first reunion of the men who, in
Pittsburgh, Pa, in 1856 organized the
republican party, was held in the old
city hall at Pittsburgh on the Goth.
The meeting was called to order by
James Abel, president of the National
Fremont association.
SIR ISAAC PITTMAN, the inventor of
photography, system of shorthand
writing, died at London ON the 22d,
aged 81 years.
GEN. GEORGE H. THOMAS died at Ok
ahoma City, Ok, on the 23d of car
ouncle, aged 60 years. He served with
President-elect Mckinley during the
war and had large interests in the ter
'itory.
SENATOR WOLCOTT, of Colorado, who
Gas been visiting England in the inter
est of bimetallism, was reported as not
being satisfied with his progress. Great
Britain will not call an international
conference on the subject under any
circumstances and the continental
powers were equally unwilling to call
conference, as they believed the
United States, both by its position and
its Importance, ought to take the in
itiative.
SENATOR JAMES Il. GEORGE, of Missis-
sippi, was reported on the cath as ly
ing critically i'll at the Garfield hos
pital at Washington with bronchial
catarrh and heart failure and his death
was hourly expected.

NOVEL, BUT JUST.
In Conjunction with the Graduated Tax 1t
Might Crush Out Non-OccupyinS Land
ownership.

In Conjunction with the Ora duated Tax It
Might Crush Out Non-Occupyins Land
ownership.
Henry Mclean. the author of the bill
introduced in the Kansas legislature to
test the theory that the rights of the
user are paramount to the rights of the
owner, is the law partner of Judge
Doster, and the measure is, therefore,
supposed to reflect the views of the
chief justice. 1t is likely to give rise
to some very interesting discussion.
The bill provides that any person de
string to make use of land not occupied
by its owner may tender to the owner
sum of money which, in his judg-
ment, fairly represents the value of the
land, and if the owner refuses to sell
the matter may be taken into court for
settlement, and the owner shall be
compelled to sell at such price as the
court shall fix. If the value thus as
certained is no greater than the sum
originally rendered the owner of the
lands shall pay all costs of the suit. If
it be greater than the sum rendered
the would-be buyer shall pay the costs.
If such law would have no other
effect than to enable citizens to buy
homes or land for productive purposes
at fair valuation based on actual
present worth, instead of being COM
PEELED to pay whatever indefinite spec
ulative value may be placed on the
lands by their owners, there could be
no particular objection to it, and it
might result in great benefit to the
people of the state. The man who
buys vacant lands and holds them for
an increase in value which is depend
ent, not only on his own exertions, but
on the collective enterprise of the per-
manent residents who own the sur
rounding property, is not entitled to
very much consideration. If he were
as enterprising as those who occupy
their lands, and as willing to exert
himself to build up the community and
to contribute to the cost of public i'm
provments, the case would be different.
But it is true of all owners of land held
for speculation, whether it be farm
land or city lots, that they are opposed
to all public improvements which will
cost them anything, though they are
entirely willing to have the people
owning surrounding property spend
money freely in building up the com
munity and making all property more
desirable. But there are in such a law
far-reaching effects, which need to be
carefully considered and which might
more than Offset all the benefits which
the law is intended to give to the peo-
pie of Kansas.-Kansas City Star.

PROOF AGAINST INVASION.

The two principal German fortresses
In the Baltic sea are at Konigsberg and
Danzig. Central Germany has three
first -class fortresses, Spandou. Madge-

Belgin frontier Cologne and Koblenz.

Some of these stones are 60 feet long by

The walls of Babylon were made OF
sun-dried brick. They are said to have
been 300 feet high. and wide enough at
the top for from three to five chariots to
drive abreast. The material, however,
was SO friable that of these gigantic
structures not q trace now remains.
The walls Of the castles built in Eng

Of Windsor have walls upward of 80 feet

AN INFAMOUS BILL

Populists An Over the Country should
Flood Their Senators with Protests
Against the Loud Bill.
The Loud bill to amend the law re-
lating to second-class mail matter was
passed January 6 by the national house
of representatives by vote of IA to
los.
The bill denies to serial publications
admission to the mails at one cent a
pound rates, denies to newspapers the
right to the sample copy" privilege
and to newsdealers the right to return
unsold publications at the second-class
rate. 1t also requires newspapers to
be separated into United States mail
sacks or bundles, by states, cities,
towns and counties, before mailing.
This is direct blow aimed at the re-
form press and publishers of small
capital. 1t is an object lesson in the
campaign of education" which the
sound scurrency committee" of 25
bankers are conducting from their
Headquarters in New York city.
1t is an effort on the part of the men
who killed silver and established the
gold basis to dictate to the American
people what they shall or shall not
read. During the past four years re-
form editors and publishers have
awaited themselves of the privilege of
send'o; serial books through the mails
d. ..u~ud rates of postage to that eX-
tent that millions of copies of publica-
lions "n the money question have been
scat'r"rd broadcast over the country,
enligr ening the people and causing
them h. " n
party moorings.
Nv making it bUrdensome to publish
ers ~ handle such literature it is hoped
To drive it out of the market and thus
make way for the publications which
the sound currency committee are
putting into plates and offering to pub
fishers free of cost. By requiring news
papers to pay heavy postage on unsold
literature, they will no longer sell it on
trial or commission, but will purchase
in small quantities or not at all.
Think of an over-worked publisher of
a country paper being made to do the
work of a post Office clerk before mail
ing each issue of his paper! But it will
help drive such publishers into bank
ruptcy and hasten the time when there
shall be no newspapers except the sub
sidized newspapers of the large cities
and such country newspapers as will
mcekly bow in submission to Wall
street dictation and accept the foster
ing care and protection of the ''sound
currency" syndicate. The power behind
this Loud bill recognizes the fact that
the reform movement has been built
up by the reform press, and that to
cripple the latter is to destroy the
former. The Loud bill has been drafted
for this special purpose. To become
law this bill has yet to pass the senate,
and to pass the senate it will be neces-
sary to bride or otherwise corrupt some
of our silver or populist Senator's
Joliet News.

A COMMITTEE of the New York health
board has made a report in favor of the
establishment of hospital Tor con-
sumptives in that city as a means of
stopping the spread of tuberculosis.
The report is regarded as very inn
portant document. The committee
says that whereas 5000 cases of con-
sumption and 5000 deaths from that
disease were reported in New York
during the year 1896, it believes there
are at present in the metropolis fully
10000 well developed cases of consump-
ton, and that the contagion is being
spread all the time.

THE taxes of Cuba demanded by
Spain in the last year of the former in
surrection amounted to S46, 900, 900.
From 1888 to 1856 it was over S34 600, 600,
and for the last ten years it has been
about $26, 200, 900 annually. The reduc-
ton is due to the impossibility of pay
ment. The deficit has recently aver
aged nearly S4,50O,O0 year. The debt
of Cuba has consequently piled up. At
the outbreak of the present war, it was
S19O, 100000. BY the middle of 1895
it was nearly S3Oo,OoO.OoO. Now
the debt of Cuba is said to be greater
than that of all other American coun-
tries.
