MARY ANpERsoN-NAvARRo.
"a

She IL Happy in Her Home at the Foot
of the CotsuoIds-
Since her retirement from the stage
Miss Mary Anderson, now Nine. te
Navarro, has lived in Broadway, an
English Sleepy Hollow, nesting at the
foot Of the Cotswolds, says London
Sketch. She has entirely thrown on
the artist and become as much one
Of the people as the good folks, her
neighbors, many OF whom, by the way
such is the primitiveness Of the vii
lage-have never seen a railway and
know no more advanced mode OF loco
motion than the carriers cart. As for
the rumor that went round the country
the other day that Nine. de Navarro
Intends to re-enter public life as a vo-
calist, 1t is the mere yaporings Of the
gossip monger. Miss Anderson has al
ways taken a pleasure in singing and
the only new news" is this: That her
voice Is much finer one than its pos
SCISSOR ever imagined. The credit Of
finding this out is due to Miss Maude
Valerie White. the composer, Miss An
derson's next door neighbor and con-
genial spirit. Miss White was delight.
ed with her friends voice and took tho
greatest pleasure in helping to develop
1t. What more natural, then, than
that Miss Anderson should assist at
her friends concert? Dismiss the
idea of the great actress becoming a
professional vocalist as the veriest
dream. But people did not know this
when they went TO the concert at the
Lyon Arms, an old hosiery with
memories of King Charles and Crom
well. The hall was crowded with peo-
ple-country gentry, enthusiastic
Americans and loyal Broadwayites
(who swear by Miss Anderson as the
good genius OF this lovely village).
Miss Anderson sang no fewer than
eight songs, most OF them the compo-
sition OF Miss White. Her voice is a
fun and deep contralto. flexible and
Of fine timbre. The spirit with
which the singer attacks the familiar
Absent Yet Present" astonished her
friends. They had come prepared to
hear the singing Of clever amateur.
But here was a dramatic fire, variety
OF expressions, and, above all, q deep
sense of musical propriety. The ap-
plause was as sincere as II seemed
grateful to the singer. No need TO ask
whether Nine. de Navarro was pleased.
Her face told the tale. In her dress
of pale green silk, graceful and lissom
as OF yore, she looked as young as
when she first g captivated England's
heart as Perdit or Juliet. The face
of the successful artist is seldom en-
tirely pleasing lthen In repose; there
is almost invariably a spoiled, selfiSh
look, some suggestion of pettishness
or regret. But Miss Anderson Is un-
spoiled by her success, and one may
verify believe that her self-impoeed Sc
clusion has brought with It no heart
burnings. She lives between her do
nestle cares, the delights Of social life
and the consultations OF the little CHIP
ell, whose altar she is as proud to
adorn as she was that of the UrsuliDe
convent ct Louisville in her girlhood
days.

That the opponents Of civil service
are not without hope Of abolishing that
system is evident from the establish
ment of a fortnightly periodical in
Washington for the purpose Of fighting
openly and above board the obnox'
ious. un-American farce commonly
known as civil service reform" The
easiest way to dispose of the publica-
tion-if it were likely to become for
midable-would be to give the editor
a civil service position, when he would

OF late there Is very noticeable ie-
mand on the part Of the American
people for higher standard of litera-
ture. This is not only evident at the
book stalls but on the news stands.
Sensational books and journalism
have had their day in the large cities.
Country papers have never been faulty
In this respect The people are set
Ting down to the belief that after all
the kernel Of the nut Is really all that
there is to it. In decade sensation
alfsm and every other dishonest prac-
tice will have disappeared entirely.
Ten years ago it looked as II it would
20 the other way. Only a few papers
remained faithful to the true princi-
pies of Journalism. OF the newspapers
the New York Tribune, the Sun and The
Philadelphia Ledger for long time
stood q distinguished and interrupted
trio. Among story papers the New
York Ledger stood proudly alone.
These papers have borne aloft the BAN
ner Of purity In Journalism and today
they are the models sought by ambi-
tious newspaper makers. We hope
that the imitators win succeed.

Just a week ago the United States
court of appeals at st. Louis held that
a boycott by labor against capital IS
a criminal conspiracy. Now an ILL
nois state court at Chicago has decid-
ed that a "blacklisting" by capital
against labor is equally unlawful and
had awarded a 'blackiisted" laborer

were sound IN law. then the blacklist
would also be sound. But these courts.

Devoured by Hogs.

Wash Woodson, aged about 30
wears, a farmer of Irvine Depot KY,
told his wife he would ride to
neighbor's on business, and pro-
ceeded to the barn lot for his horse.
Some time afterward she was sur
prised to see the horse in the lot, not
having been used. Her husband be-
ing still absent, she went to the LOT
TO search for him, and there she OBJ
served one of the several hogs in the
lot with a bloody nose. Thinking
nothing of this she continued hel
search q short distance further
where, Mortified, she beheld the
prostrate form of her husband being
deyoured by hogs. They had con
sumed almost the entire face ant
other parts of the body. The vicious
ness of the swine is inexplicable, un
less Woodson' presence exasperate'

How State Railroads WORK.

Prussi1n state railroads have
tveraged in recent years s75, ,0OO, 900,
md are expected in 1899 to return
slO9, 200, 600. This will be quoted
with pride by advocates of state rail-
roads; but as Prussia has only 16, $50
miles of railroad this amounts to
taking s6,sO0 a miie of net earnings.
The very best our railroads can av-
erage in good years like 1892 is 50 ,27S
per mile. Even the Middle state
railroads, with 20, ,4S1 miles, in 1896
could only average 81 800 of net earn
ings per mile.
The reason is simple and plain
freight rates are higher in Prussia
than in this country. If rates were
low in Prussia as in this country
their profits" would melt away.
Instead of being profits" they are
really tax levied on transportation
and collected from the industries oi
Prussia by keeping the rates on state
roads higher than they would be
under free competition. Passenger
rates are low over their roads be
cause of the great density of popu
alton. Freight rates are high and
form a cruel tax on both labor ant
capital, taxed to pay on the capita
invested by the state, often in un
profitable lines. Here that capita
would be wiped out by receive
and reorganization. Under stat
railroads it goes on taxing industr!
| indefinitely. You cannot put an un
profitable state railroad into tn
: hands of receiver. 1t simply raise
: ts rates and the sum taken from in
Iustry is cited as the profits" of

Universal Suffrage.

Judge @. w Smith, of the 14th Ju-

opinion of Universal Suffrage in a

cause she is a woman, while the ig-
norant adult is permitted to decide
concerning our governmental affairs

of man. This illogical basis of the
suffrage is great and ever present
menace to the life of the nation.
There should be a few restrictions
placed on the right of suffrage in a
republic, and these should be laid on
the ground of intelligence and moral
fitness for it's exercise. To place it
on other grounds is both wrong and
politically unwise.
The intelligent and moral citizens
of republic should have an equal
voice in the affairs of the govern
ment by which they are to be ruled.
and without limitations or conditions
