eff man had no other evidence of the
superiority of his sex than his hat it would
be sufficient" said a woman who had COM
mitted the unfortunate and irretrievable err
ror of buying a hat that did not become
her, and who, in consequence, took a
gloomy view of life in general. "He needs
a covering for his head, he buys it, and
that ends it; he has only to decide whether
it is to be a Derby or an Alpine or straw
that that he wants, and he gets it. He has
no regrets, no misgivings, no disappoint-
ments. With us the choice of a hat is
fraught with side issues 1t must have
style and individuality; it must be becom-
ing; it must accord with the rest of the
costume. Sometimes the entire arrange
ment of hair must be changed to suit a new
hat.
Moreover, a man keeps his individuality,
whatever he wears on his head. Mr.. Nc
Kinley, for instance, won't look as dignified

make her appear a derelict of fate; but
with a becoming hat well put on, she can
make the world believe anything of her she
chooses. If the tailor makes man-which
he does not, by the way, nearly SO much
as the dressmaker makes her customers

Drunkenness Is Decreasing.
Ladies' Home Journal.

The men and women interested in or
ganized temperance work in this country
are, on the whole, very worthy people, They
are sincere. energetic and well-meaning.
But sometimes they lack that nicely and
wisdom of judgment which is absolutely
necessary in organized effort in order that
the surest success may be won. They some
times, unfortunately. allow their zeal to run
away with them. This tendency was recent
ly shown in one of their official statements,
which bewailed the startling growth of in
temperance in America during the year 1897
Many good people to whom the circular
containing this statement is sent will be
prone to believe this assertion They have
not tho means at hand by which to verify
such statement, and will be made uncom-
f0rtabte by it, whereas, in reality. exactly
the opposite is the truth. There has never
been time in America when every indica-
ton pointed strongly To a decrease of
intemperance as the present There has
never been so little drinking as at present
and never such a strong tendency toward
moderation in quarters where alcoholic in
diligence is general. This is a fact impos-
sible to controvert, because the most careful
figures bear out this very hopeful state
ment."

True to His Vows.
Brooklyn Eagle.
An incident of the days when Spain was
at the zenith of her glory and when she
owned the greater part of South America,
and one which plainly shows the treachery
and cruelty of the Spaniards, is recounted
by Senior Juan Valera, a Spaniard and a
member of the Royal Academy Qiterary)
of Madrid To make the story plain to all
we would say that by his vows priest
cannot divulge that which has come to his
knowledge through confession. Not even the
fear of death abSOlVeS him from these
sacred and most solemn vows. Quoting
Senior Valera S own words, published in
a book entitled "Ropa Apolillada' the story
runs as follows:
military commander, a royalist, whose
name L will not mention here because he
has, afterward, figured greatly in Spain and
because to him you attribute frightful
cruelty-discovered conspiracy and ar
rested thirteen of the conSpiratOrS. Not
withstanding all the efforts of the general
he was unable to drag out of them the
secrets of the conspiracy. He then ordered
the men to be shot, not, however, before
Father MarjeluZ had confessed them. They
made their confession to the friar ana were
then executed. The general then demanded
that Father Marieluz should tell him the
had been told him by the men in their con-
fessions This the priest refused to do,
withstanding alike t1attery and threats.

the general next exclaimed: Ready! take
aimi' and turning to the victim said, in an
imposing voice: For the last time and in
the name of the King I command you to

accents:

dice me against women's clubs" said nom
club woman, st is this confirmed habit
upon the part of organized effort to ex-
tract all the interest and pleasure from
things literary. I have yet to see the club
that has turned it's attention to literature
with but the one result-a priggish, pedantic,
academic treatment of the subject until all
possible enjoyment Is banished or at least
benumbed. / suppose that pleasure pure
and simple in a book or poem would be
considered beneath so high and mighty a
thing as a woman's club, or, at least, not
worthy of it. Some moral must be pointed
out, some lesson drawn, or some complex
and ethical import ascribed to 1t. 1t is the
Browning Club motif magnified to its high
est power, and to the ordinary, unpretend-
ing reader content to enjoy her reading,
irrespective of motif and morale, it is re-
pellant not to say ludicrous. In my own
town there is woman's literary club,
which. in the course of the past year, has
tackled number of literary masterpieces.

NAN YORK. November ls-=A sun
cable from Paris says The situation
,jus..ues the assertion that peace is al
last ln sight The execution of treaty
may be- slightly delayed by a possible
change IN the personnel Of the Spanish
Commission, but the Madrid Govern
ment has definitely decided 10 accept
the American terms, or, rather the best
terms available. Instructions to this
effect have been received by Senior
MonterO Rios, president Of the Spanish
Commission. and his associates, from
Sagasta, and although Senor Montero
Rios does not Withdraw his declaration
that he will never yield to the Amer
lean demands, there can be no doubt OF
the final result.
The majority Of the Spanish repre-
sentatives in Paris are deeply chagrin-
ed by this sudden decision OF the home
Government and they naturally give
diplomatic denial OF all knowledge OF
such action. but the authority of the
Sun correspondent for making this an
nouncement Is beyond question. The
decision Ia doubtless based upon the
exigencies of the domestic political sit
uation. The Madrid Government finds
IL eXpedient to meet at the present mo-
ment, rather than later, the crisis
which Is expected to arise when the
treaty of peace Is signed.
In the meantime the Spanish Com
missloners, in the belief that the new
attitude of the Madrid Government
will not become known to the Ameri'
cans, are cherishing some hopes. baset
upon news from the United States tha
the American Government wishes tC

pret this to mean that while American
persist in their demand for the Philip

LONDON, November lG.-rhe Mad
rid correspondent OF the Daily Mail
says: 4 leading Carlist tells me he
will be astonished II a formidable ris-
ing does not occur in Spain within a
month after the peace treaty is signed.
The Carlists have abundant supplies of
money, and. my Informant says, only
something very big and unexpected can
prevent a rising.
This appears to agree with the news
that Don Carlos has succeeded in rails
ing an important loan in London and
in Paris, and that wealthy Carlist fam
lilies are insuring their property
against war risks. ! questioned a
prominent ofiicial at the Spanish War
Office today on the subject, and he told
mo he was well aware OF the Carlist
activity, but that the Government was
even more ready than the Carlists. The
bulk OF the actual standing army Of
Spain, he said, Is now occupying Ara
gon, the Basque provinces and North
Catalonia. There is larger number
of troops under arms than the law
allows, the Government having decid-
ed that this is necessity to preserve
internal order
During the last two months-still
according to my informant-the Gov
ernment has greatly increased its war
material and has replaced most OF the
artillery and ammunition sent to the
West Indies. My own opinion is, how
ever, that the Spanish people will not
tolerate a Carlist rising. because civil
war would only complete SPANS ruin.

RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Five Miles BE yond Waimea--B Bridge
and Curve

The new track Of the Oahu railway
is now five miles beyond Waimea gulch
and within ten miles of Kahuku. The
line will be in operation to Kahuku
plantation before the middle Of next
month. Contractor Jensen has in one
day laid mile and half of rail. but
the bridge building is rather slow.
There are to he nine bridges between
Waimsa and Kahuku. The manner of
working now is TO lay the track TO a
bridge point, then go back and finish
and surface and fll with the roadbed
till the bridge is completed.
The bridge AT Waimea is $50 feet
long and is fine structure. The founda-
tions are on solid rock. To avoid the
quicksands and the shore line at this
treacherous point there has been made
an extensive curve in the line. 1t Is
like a half moon, but Is insurance
