A Splendid Opportunity to Visit
Southern Points at Small Cost.
On Tuesday, Dec. 6, and Tuesday, Dec
20, a popular low-rate excursion will be
run from Chicago to the South via Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad. On
those days that company will sell both
one-way and round-trip frst-class tickets
at greatly reduced rates. One-way tickets
will be for continuous passage: On round
trip tickets stop-over will be allowed on
going trip at points in the South. Round
trip tickets will be good twenty-one days.
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail-
road has two daily through trains which
leave Dearborn station, Chicago, for all
points beyond the Ohio river. Both trains
carry through first-class coaches, sleeping
cars and have dining cars serving meals
out of Chicago. This is the shortest route
to the South, and the time made by it's
trains is the quickest. For detailed infor-
nation, inquire Of any ticket agent or ad-

Her Hats All Made of Paper.

A fashionable woman recently Gre
ated a sensation at an afternoon lunch
con in London by announcing that she
had had fifteen hats during the sum-
mer, but that not one of them contained
an inch of silk, satin. velvet or straw.
They were entirely of paper, and to
prove her assertion she displayed the
natty black turhan trimmed apparently
with bands of black silk, which she had
worn to the luncheon. On investiga-
ton it was found that the turban was
covered with dull black silk paper and
trimmed with bands of the same mate
rial. These hats are, unfortunately,
very expensive, but the woman who is
determined to do her own millinery can
crinkled and plain, and experiment
with it. She can make tissue roses and
trim her hat with them, and she will
find that they wear extremely well.
She can face her hat with the tough
japanese variety of paper, and can 9th
erwise decorate it about just as she
pleases. Of course, with the use of
paper the cost of the hat is extremely
small, and she can have as many as she
pleases without spending more than a
few dollars. But a paper hat from the
milliner's costs quite large sum. They
are placing so much work upon the
paper flowers and the trimmings that it
becomes necessary to charge we'll for
them. Besides they are said to be SO
beautiful that they command a high
price, and it is readily paid. The ad-
yantages of tissue paper are many, the
principal one of which is the color,
which is said to be quite steadfast.
French tissue, Japanese and silk paper
are used. The paper comes striped in
all colors, Powered, crinkled and plain.
1t is as tough as silk and much more
durable than null Or chiffon.-Philadel-
phia Record.

Old Age Pension.

The New Zealand Assembly has just
passed an old-age pension bill which
applies to all persons over 60 years old.
The pension amounts to but $50 year,
or about $1.75 week, and no one who
has an income Of over So a week or
property worth more than $2,7OO will
be entitled to it. Twenty years resi-
dence in the colony and ten years ex-
emplary conduct are among the other
qualifications, the vagrant and the
drunkard being thus shut off.

How He Mastered Figures.

It is not generally known that if Mr..
Gladstone had not been swayed by
very strong sense of flial duty, he
would never have entered Parliament,
his own strong predisposition being to
take orders and go into the church
Another incident which is not generally
known is that it was the same principle
of filial obedience which first brought
to light that extraordinary aptitude for
figures which enabled Mr.. Gladstone to
become the greatest Chancellor of the
Exchequer that England has ever had.
When he was at Oxford he wrote home,
saying that he didn't care for mathe-
MATES, and intended to concentrate his
attention upon classics. His father
wrote back that he heard with much
grief his sons decision. He did not
think a man was a man unless he knew
mathematics. Mr.. Gladstone, on re-
ceiving this intimation of his fathers
wishes, abandoned his own plan, and
applied himself with his usual concen-
tration to the study of mathematics.
Much to his surprise, he came out
double first. He often said in after life
that he had done it to please his father,
and that he would never have been
Chancellor Of the Exchequer had it not
been for the bent given to his mind by
his compliance with his fathers wish
that he should pursue mathematical
studies

American Shoes in Germany.

Twenty years ago American shoes
were unknown in Germany. Indeed, at
that time our shoes were not regarded
as superior to those of German manu-
facture, but the many Improvements
which have been made in machinery, to-
gether with the careful study which our
manufacturers have made of style and
comfort, have placed our shoes in the
front rank. An American can almost
always be distinguished in a crowd by
his shoes. In 1880 the value of shoes
imported into Germany from the Uni
ted States amounted to S., 666; in 1890,
to $9,O44; in 1896 it was $3O,5OS; and
for the first five months of this year the
total value Of the shoes imported from
the United States was $4,000.

Imports of Gold Are Large

The Importation Of gold into the United
States in the year 1898 are by far the
largest in the history of the country, and
the expectations the smallest in many
years, while the production of gold from
our own mines will prove the largest in
many years, if not the largest in the his
tory Of the country.

SPAIN HAS CHOICE.
MUST DECIDE whether 1T BE
PEACE OR WAR.
Demands of the United States Are in
the Nature of an UItimatum Philip
pines in Exchange for War In
demnity and $2O,OOO,OOO.

Whether it be peace on the terms fixed
by the United States or war in which
SPANS destruction is certain must be de-
cided by the Madrid Government. A prop
osition that was practically an ultimatum
was made by the American peace commits
sion at Paris at Mondays joint session
The terms of the proposition are summar.
lied as follows:
1. The Spanish proposal to arbi-
trate the meaning Of the third arti-
Gle of the peace protocol is rejected.
2. The United States demands
the cession Of the entire Philippine
archipelago, and offers Spain an in
demnity of 100000 for her pa
ci6c expenditures in the islands.
3. The United States declares a
policy Of ''open door" in the Philip
pines to the worlds commerce, and
offers Spain for a series of years
the same trading terms in the ISL
ands as shall be enjoyed by Ameri-
can ships.
4. The United States proposes, on
the terms heretofore named, a mu-
tual REIMBURSEMENT of all public and
private claims between Spain and
the United States arising since the
beginning of the Cuban insurrec-
ton.
5. The United States insists that
the religious freedom of the Caro-
line Islands be considered as settled
by the treaty of 1886.
Nothing to Arbitrate.
The American commissioners hold that
the meaning of the peace protocol is plain
and contains nothing calling for arbitra
ton. An arbitration would also be a
virtual surrender of the functions of the
peace commission, and is, therefore, abso.
lutely rejected.
The American commissioners call atten.
ton to the fact that no cash indemnity fol
the expenses of the war has been asked
by the United States. The Spaniards
having neglected the former proposal OF
the United States for the cession of the
Philippines, the Americans now present
proposals embodying all concessions
wEEh, for the sake of peace, the United
States is willing to offer, deeming it essen
tial that the negotiations, already greatly
protracted, should be brought to an early
and definite conclusion.
The Government of the United States
refuses to modify the proposal heretofore
made for the cession Of the entire archi
pelago of the Philippines; but the Ameri-
can commissioners are authorized to offer
to Spain, in case the cession should be
amicably agreed to, the sum Of 500, 0OO,.
900, to be paid in accordance with the
terms to be fixed in the treaty of peace.
The mutual REIMBURSEMENT Of all public
and private claims between Spain and the
United States since the beginning of the
Cuban instruction is intended to imply
that each Government will settle the
claims of it's own citizens against the 9th
er country, and includes the re-establish
ment of the treaties which have lapsed by
war. The proposal to renounce all claims
for indemnity includes, of course, com
pensation for the destruction of the
Maine.

Getting Hold of Islands.

~ ONE Of the correspondents at

- ton of the administration is to
get United States soldiers in actual pos
session at Porto Rico. at Manila and al
Havana. before Spain makes up her
mind to announce a plea for peace. As
often at least as once a week the report
is sent out that Spain has about made
up her mind TO give ): up and ask for
terms. Always his report Is followed
with hints about the governments
anxiety to have a foothold on every
colonial possession Spain has.
No man believes that this actual pos
session will greatly aid the United States
In driving a bargain with Spain. IL the
war closes soon. IL viii not be n dificult
