HANNA,

What will happen to Hanna? is the next question. It seems to be certain that the Republicans will have ma jority of five on joint ballot in the leg islature. Hanna says: '"They tell me I am sure of a reelection. That is all I know about it." On the other hand. there is talk of trouble, and secret con ferences. But those who think that Hanna is likely to be left will do well to wait for the result of the secret con- ferences in which he will figure. He has shown such skill and mastery in politics as to give good ground for faith in his success in this case, and it should not be forgotten that he was endorsed for senator by the last Republican State convention.

EXPERT TESTIMONY,

The Supreme court of Illinois has rendered a decision which will strike terror to the hearts of expert witnesses who earn much money by being expert for the side that hires them. In dam age suit in which the plaintiff had in- jured leg by falling through defec- tive sidewalk, a Dr. Dixon was subpoe- naed as a witness and was questioned concerning the extent and nature of the injuries. The witness refused to testi- fly unless he was paid large fee as an expert" The lower court held that the witness was not entitled to extra pay, and upon his refusal to testify ad- judged that he was in contempt of court and fined him $25. Upon appeal this matter was carried to the Supreme court, which has just decided that the witness was in contempt and that wit nesses may be compelled to render ex- pert testimony without special fees.
 We suppose this decision is based on the idea that the State is entitled to the evidence of a witness, even if that evidence is valuable. Of course no court would intimate by a decision like the one just given that expert testi- mony is no more valuable than any other.

1oYE THE FLEA AND MOSQUITO

LOVE THE FLEA AND MOSQUITO
 Do we immortal, divine beings have to submit to anything-even to insects in our homes, on our bodies, ruining our fruits and farms, and annoying us in every way? A thousand times No. They all will obey us when we speak in love, not when we hate and strive to kill them. They are intelligent creatures, and respond to the silent or the spoken word of love to depart in peace. We have no right to destroy life we cannot give because it annoys us. After you have mastered yourself you will master them, instead of letting them master you, by using your right ful power and putting them away.
 What is this? the gentle reader is asking. This is part of an essay in magazine named Mind, and 1t may be needless to say that the author of the essay is a woman. It is glorious news SllE I llS HEAL lllllS d llGot JulilpS on you and begins operations, do not try to catch it with murder in your heart. It is hard and usually fruitless work to do that. Speak to it in love and that hungry yet subdued flea will respond to your speaking and prance away in peace. And as with the flea so with the mosquito and other insects which have not been generally sup posed to be more subject to any love than the love of human gore. But we live and learn. If predatory insects will really listen to words of love the air on the east shore of New Haven harbor will be as full of the words next summer as it is of one kind of the insects,

black cord. Above the waist it took jacket shape, the fronts secured by straps and buttons. In general a dress of this sort would be considered superb or to an all princess one by most wo- men, and this particular model was quite distinguished for novelty and at tractiveness.
 Here is a winter relay of gowns that makes good use of ingenious expedi- ents Over a summer silk grenadine has been put to make a standby after noon gown. To the last years tailor skirt, which was a dull plaid, a stun ming Russian blouse jacket lined with scarlet was added. That is very dash ing under the mouse brown broadcloth of the jacket. This blouse may close from neck to belt and not betray the stiff shirt and collar beneath, or it may show a fancy silk bodice. It is worn the first way with the old tailor skirt, and then passes for bodice, the other way, with skirt to match and with a white satin bodice under it, the little jacket is part of the new tailor rig. Then it goes with short skirt over 8 riding habit waist, both to match, and is then a part of a swagger wheel suit
 Next is new and long black satin skirt, with puff at the bottom. With this goes a black velvet blouse, unlike the cloth blouse, except that it can be worn either open or shut. It goes over a stunning gray satin front, is faced back with gray satin and belted pret- tily. Closed it will serve under a short fur collarette for the street, and when the tea is reached it may be opened The velvet blouse may be worn over other bodices, too, if only they are swell enough.

4 HIDDEN HAND.

Since Tammany's triumph a states man who has been in his hole has come out of it, and we begin to hear talk about David Bennett Hill. For in- stance, Boss Mclaughlin of Brooklyn says: I want to say that forty years ago I carried banners on which was in scribed the motto Honor to whom honor is due" I think that David B.
 Hill ought to be the proudest man in the United States to-day. That is a corker, isn't it? You may remember that used that word in a talk I had years ago. David B. Hill was selected by Samuel J. Tilden as his representa- tive in the State convention. MT. Hill has been very much abused man, but it is my individual opinion that he is entitled to as much credit as any other man in the State for the result of the election. He is the man who brought forward and recommended the nomina- ton of Judge Parker, and the people have approved his judgment and rec ommendation. He is among the ablest men in the United States to-day. He may have his peers; he has no superior, in intellect or politics. He wasn't heard from in the campaign? No, but his hidden hand was very effective. l do not suppose that MT. Hill will take the trouble to tell the people of the State of New York what his feelings are, but I can say of hin-and l have not seen
 him in months-that he's the proudest
 man in the State to-day over the result of the election. People as a rule do not
 say many kind things about HiII but as am under TO obligation to Mir. Hill,

F1SHION NOTES.
A Kedlngote Oyerdress.


 Not so much is heard of princess styles now as there was some months ago. In wraps there are many redin- gotes and princess dresses are occasion- ally seen, but they are too trying to wearers and makers to become very popular. More abundant are costumes like the one the artist presents here, in which are princess effects. This one consisted of skirt and blouse of black taffeta, covered in front with black pleated chiffon and belted with black satin. Over this came a redingote-lille affair of brick red woolen goods finish ed with machine stitching and fine

 There is something pathetic about his wanderings. Years ago his wife died, and from happy, steady husband he developed into veritable Wandering Jew. With the grief oocasioned by that event his mind became unsettled, and he could not be satisfied any place. He has sister Mrs, Tinnell of Minona county, in this state, and a niece in this city, Mrs. F. M. Phillips. He was staying with the Philips family, but last spring became restless and started to find his sister, Mrs Badger supposed to live near Niles, Mich. He invaria- bly, carries his bucksaw and Is followed by a devoted little black dog. His wan derings have covered @ large area or the United States He depends upon his wood saving for living, and when money is given him by his relatives he saves 1t and walks rather than speho it for car fare.

Love in the cottage was short lived, and one day about three weeks after the marriage things became too interesting for him and he deliberately threw plate at his spouse, picked up his bucksaw, whistled to his dog, and left his wife to get a divorce, which she very promptly did.-Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil.

The adherents to bread diet, however, point out that, physiologcally, man is fitted to transform the starch of bread into a useful form and that this, one of the cheapest, is also one of the most useful and digestible sorts of food.

Dyspeptics who like bread and are afraid to eat it except when it is stale or toasted may take heart again. A prominent physician has declared bread to be the most perfect form of food available, though, of course, not by it. self perfect, any more than any other form of diet. He claims, however, that weight for weight it is the most nour- ishing food which can be taken and that it was high time for some one to stand up for the staff of life which has been so hotly assailed in so many quar- ters. The anti-fat doctors cut their patients off bread altogether, substitut- ing some deceptive sort of bran or all mond-meal biscuits that are found, on being broken open, to be hollow and full of emptiness. Diabetic patients
 too, are always refused bread; and of late a, school has arisen which main
 tains to even to the healthy and normal constitution any starchy food is injuri- ous and that bread is the main cause of premature stiffening of the tendons md failure of digestion and should not be eaten at all. The most illustrious adherent of this 'anti-starch' party has had to boast was the late Sir Isaac Holden, who died at past 90, and who

The main rivers on the northern Pa- cific coast, from Oregon to Alaska have been lavishly supplied with salmon. Now, according to the United States Fish commission, just arrived at San Francisco from Alaska, the Alaskan salmon will disappear if there are not efforts made to propagate the fish and restock the waters. Congress will be asked to establish hatcheries in those streams. Last year the output of the Alaska packers was 100000 cases or forty-eight pounds each, or 48,00O,000 pounds of canned salmon. This year there will be great falling off. Be- sides the wholesale everlasting in all the main rivers from Columbia to the Yukon, there is another cause that tends to diminish the number of sal mon. It is the hordes of ravenous "sea lions," the big seal that feasts upon those fish.

The Rev. William D.

from the treasury of the Presbyterian
board for aid of colleges, is still at large,
put, although the officials of the American
Surety Company will not admit the fact,

1t is said that an understanding has been

the surety company, but the present indi-

charnley being able to make things all

what action the company would take in
ihe matter.
Many Presbyterian colleges and acade-

them will be seriously embarrassed. 1t is

as the train stopped they began to shoot
their revolvers to intimidate the pas
