ENGLISH COMMENT ON
TUESDAYS ELECTION
London Weekly Papers Regret That
the Republican Majority Was
Not Larger.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE weekly papers.
while they see in Tuesdays election i'm
proved prospects Of currency legislation,
regret that the Republican success was
not more pronounced. They express a
fear that the results will encourage con-
tinental powers to increase the hostility
toward the annexation of the Philippines
by the United States, although they doubt
that there viii be any more serious In
tervention than acrimonious protests. .as
the powers are aware that Great Britain
would not allow the United States to be
oveTborne by a hostile coalition"
The Spectator says: THE statesmen
of the continent universally fear the adj
vent of the United States in European
politics. They cannot rid their heads of
the idea that. If they stand together, as
when they coerced Japan. America will
similarly yield. But their representa-
lions at Washington are likely to irritate
greatly the national pride of the Ameri-
cans. leading to a universal support of
President Mckinley in a reply which,
however moderate in tone, Will, in effect
be a clear defiance. The excessive fears
felt of an Anglo-Saxon alliance is shown
by the fact that the whole Continent
sees in Lord Salisbury's Guildhal refer
ence to America all manner of menaces."

WIFE OF DREYFUS
APPEALS I'M VAIN
Not Permitted Even to Inform the
Exile of the Decision of the
Court

PARIS, Nov. 12.-Mme. Dreyfus, it Is
said, applied at the office of the Colonial
Minister yesterday (Frfday) for permits
sion to send her husband some warm
clothing for his return home. Her re-
quest was refused on the ground that the
Government would do what was neces-
sary. At the same time the authorities
read to her a letter from her husband to
the effect that. having for FIVE months
addressed appeals for a revision to Gen
eral de ROisdeffre without getting any re-
ply and being wearied and exhausted by
his useless appeals, he would write no
more to his family or TO anybody. He de-
scribed himself as i'll and dying, and be-
queathed Ito the generosity of my coun-
try the care of rehabilttating my
memory"
Nine Dreyfus then asked permission to
telegraph to her husband the decision of
the Court of Cessation. This request
also was refused. Then, through a
friend, she appealed to President Faure,
but with no better results.
Her counsel will bring the matter be-
fore the Court of Cessation.

MUCH TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR THE T0LBERTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia special
to the Post from Columbia, S. c., gives
the following story of to-day's develop
ments in the race riots in that State:
Sheriff McCaslam of Greenwood
County. in which Phoenix is located,
wires the Governor to-day:
Things perfectly quiet and excite
ment all gone. You cannot rely upon
sensational rumors."
Late news from the scene Of the re-
cent lynchings indicates that the angry
passions of the people are subsiding.
and no further bloodshed is now to be
expected unless two negroes, Circuit
and White, or Henderson. a white man,
all of whom the crowd wish to secure,
are found There is every reason to
believe that all three have made good
their escape.
The feeling against the Tolberts
seems to be intense. An impartial
man. who has been at the scene of the
difficulty, says
If the Tolberts return to their home
any time soon trouble will inevitably
follow their presence in the neighbor
hood, which, for some time to come, if
ever will not be healthy place for
them. They are looked upon as the
meters of the trouble"
1t is generally thought dangerous to
allow the two Tolberts here to be taken
back to Greenwood. One dispatch says,
in speaking of the prospects Of further
trouble. If the Tolberts are brought
back there is no jail made that viii
stand.
This morning notice was given James
Tolbert, whose wife is pGstmistress at
Mccormick, that he would be allowed
thirty-six hours to leave, but that his
wife and children will be cared for and
protected. Although James Tolbert is
not known to have had anything to do
with the recent troubles it is said that
he left, going no one knows where.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Nov. 1.-THE

SCENTED WOMEN.

The papers are amusing themselves by
discussing whether it is juStifable for a
woman to scent herself by means of by
podermic injections. 1t seems to US that
there is nothing to discuss. Women who
have money and no occupation will al
ways do foolish thinps. They are at the
mercy of every quack and charlatan, and
nothing that we can say is likely to have
much effect on their folly. People who
consult palmists and fortune tellerS are
likely enough to take up any new craze.
AS a matter of fact, the custom of scent
ing the breath and the body oy the use
of drugs injected under the skin is by no
means new, and there are many estab-
lishments in Paris and elsewhere which
exist solely for this purpose. The mas
sage shops would have adopted the idea
long ago. but their customers are ex-
clusiveiy men, and mans folly does not
run in this particular direction. We have
seen a neat little outfit consisting of a
hypodermic syringe and q number of can
nulae obtained from one of the Paris
houses and we have been made acquaint-
ed with the formula of ne solutions en-
Moved but it would serve no useful puF-
pose to make them public. We can only
express a nope that the apparatus is
aseptic, or at all events that ii is occa-
sionaIly washed, for if this precauton is
neglected there is likely to be a pretty
general dissemination of disease, and
some of the ladies' who now find time
hang heavily on their hands will be less
pleasantly occupied than they had an
ticipated.-British Medical Journal.

THE KING AND THE COMET.

Cassini. an Italian by birIcl. was the best
known Of the astronomers of the Paris
and in consequence, posterity has very
generally supposed he was the director.
That he failed to be such was not from
any want of astuteness. It is related that
the monarch once visited the observatory
to see a newly discovered comet through
ton the comet was going to move.
This was a question it was impossible
to answer at the moment, because both
observations and computations would be
necessary before the orbit could be
worked out. But Cassini reflected that
the King would not look at the comet
he had told him; he therefore described
its future path in the heavens quite at
random, and with entire confidence that
any deviation of the actual motion from
his prediction would never be noted by
his royal patron.-Atlantic Monthly.
