GOODwIN's- ENGLISH HOME.

Many American actors spend their vacations abroad, but Nat Goodwin is the first to buy himself home across the sea. Mir Goodwin has long been a wanderer on the face of the earth with out hearth or home, but he has recent ly purchased an English country seat which is said to be the most beautiful estate owned by any of the Am ar1can lstage folk.
 It was his wedding gift to Maxine FL liott, although the negotiations had been pending for several months before his marriage. The place is situated in the midst of Kent, and, reckoning dis tance according to the English fashion, lis half an hour from London. It was built by an English nobleman about thirty years ago, in strict imitation of the country houses of Queen Eliza beth's tims
 The house is set on the last of a se- ries of terraces and is approached by a winding road that leads through a small park of ancient trees, for the es- tate Is part of the old Grown woods. The entrance lodge is as picturesque as a matched roof and latticed windows
 
 in the rank foliage of great trees. The lowest terrace is divided into tennis courts and a promenade, the second is devoted to a flower garden and the higher terrace, inclosed by balustrad- ed wall, makes an out-of-door recep- tion room.
 The manor house itself looks as if it had been rooted there for centuries, so faithfully has the architect given it the air and fashion of the olden time. It is a half timbered and plaster structure in the Tudor style. The windows are the most noticeable feature of the ex terior. They are numerous and 1eade( with diamond-shaped panes. Inside the Elizabethan effect is yet stronger.
 The great entrance hall is square and paneled from f1cor to ceiling in dark woods. The morning room, dining room and study are on the same levei and are also pane1ed elaborately. The ceilings, however, in all the rooms are of plaster. The large drawing room is on a higher level and opens directly on the upper terrace. The walls are of antique oak and massive bookcases are built into recesses. A beautifully carved mantel with a clock in the cen ter occupies almost the whole of one deep seat, from which can be seen the succession of terraces, sinking away into the wood
 The bed rooms are enormous, ac- cording to American notions, many of them being more than twenty feet square, and they are provided with all the dressing rooms, bath rooms and closets dear to the heart of the Eng

FOR GOLD IN NEBRASKA.

The days of what William Allen White, Of the neighboring state of Kansas, called Smooth politics" on the financial question seem to be over ir Nebraska. The republican state con- vention's unqualified and unbimetal- lized declaration for the gold standard is something that the "smoothest" O: prairie politicians cannot assimilate to .populism. That was of old the es- sence of smooth politics" according to the Emporia philosopher. It was to convince the doubtful voter that all the new and taking notions, as we'll as the old established truths, s,were to be found in the republican communion. It was broad church politics, according to high church conceptions. A profes- sor of the faith might believe pretty nearly anything he wanted so be it he kept his pew and contributed his vote. Prairie platforms of the republican or ganizatfon were drawn with this end in view. Such, MT. White has told us, was the case in Kansas, and the public record appears to disclose a similar condition of affairs in it's sister com monwealth.
 The popocratic legislature elected In 1S96 was able, with some show of logic, to demand Senator Thurston's resig- nation for his subscription to the St. Louis platform. Last year the state convention sagely- resolved upon omit ting all reference to financial issues save a gloating allusion to dollar wheat" and satisfied mortgages. The result, considering the republican gains in the adjoining states of Kansas and South Dakota, where Smooth politics" had been to some extent abandoned, was crushing defeat. At Wednes- days meeting the "smooths" seem to have counseled the same reliance upon foreign war as was last year placed on foreign commerce. But the conven- tion had learned wisdom from the fu- tlllty of these ancient dOdges which have kept the state in populist hands for nearly ten years past Not only was the St. Louis platform reaffirmed, but the resolutions went beyond to say that i've are in favor of the mainten- ance of the present gold standard and unalterably opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver" The ad- vance here is in the elision of the in ternational bimetallist clause and the consequent recognition of the failure of the Wolcott commission. This would have been a considerable gain of ground, as we have regretfully seen in Ohio and Maine. In Nebraska it is an epochal deliverance marking the emancipation of the party in the state from the thralldom of compromise and ambiguity.
 Nebraska republicanism can lose nothing by this display of principle The offices to be contested fora full state ticket and the United States sen- atorship, now held by w. V. Allen are already in populist hands. Last years experience shows that they cannot be taken from populist hands by the smoothing process. There can be no more promising method than that adopted to redeem the state from the undoubted ill repute of populist control and to end it's representation Tn the senate by peculiarly tiresome

and reckless demagogue. But what ever the result, and even if the gold standard party in the senate is not re inforced by Aliens successor, national republicanism cannot be otherwise than strengthened by the advance of this hitherto halting party detachment to the party's fighting position, Its firing line,'' we may say in these days of military parlance. Throughout the country the ranks are dressing up to the Oregon guide.-New York Press.

Cats as COMPANIONS.

The cat, we are told, has been the
companion of the great and famous
from time immemoria1. Petrarch's ia
vorite cat he embalmed, while Andrea
Doria, one of the rulers of Venice, not
content with having the portrait of
his dead cat painted, preserved her
skeleton as the souvenir of happy in
timacy.
Cardinal Wolsey used to entertain
his cat by his side on the seat of state
when he gave audience or received his
princely company. Rousseau's at
tachment for cats is well known. We
know also how fond Sir Isaac Newton
was of them, for did he not make holes
in his barn door for their accommoda-
tion-a large hole for the old cat and
a small enc for the kitten? DIR. John
son loved cats in spite of himself, and
his particular cat bore the name of
Hodge. The doctor used himself to go
out and buy the oysters on which Hodge
dotted, lest the servants, from having
to wait on the animal. should acquire
dislike for him. Richelieu also wa1

HE APPRECIATED TRUTH.

4 Bad Man Who Admired Genuine
CandOr.
All the miners at Red Gulch knew
that the new schoolmaster from Bos-
ton, Mr.. Waldo, had been inconceivably
frank in referring to Dead Eye Bill, the
terror of the county, and so when they
saw the latter walk up to the school
house door they opined that the young
Bostonian's days were numbered.
Waldo sat at his desk when the door
was flung open and Bill stalked in. His
one good eye looked as bad as usual,
and his attitude seemed to breathe
death and destruction, yet the school
master did not quail.
''Mr. Waldo, did you say that I was a
mean-hearted, low-down, white-livered,
whisky-drinking coward?"
'Those were not my exact words, but
such was their import" was the calm
reply of Mr.. Waldo.
"And did you mean it?" asked the
desperate.
ST did,
"Say them words again."
A group of miners had crowded into
the schoolroom. The children sat in
awed silence.
''Say it again? With pleasure" an
swered Waldo. you are contempt
ible, base and mean-hearted coyote.
You're a low-down, drunken, IRE.
sponsible, white-livered coward, and
you know it." The Bostonian might
have been saying the responses in the
Litany, so calm was his tone.
All present expected to see Bill whip
out his gun and make an end of the in
trepid instructor, but instead he
walked up to Mr.. Waldo, and, holding
out his hand, said: "Put it thar. I've
lived in this here community, man an
boy, nigh on to two years, an never
heard the truth spoken before in all
that time. I know the truth when !
hear it, an I want to thank you for il"
Tears came to the eyelids of Mr..
Waldo and stood there, but at sight OF
the unusual spectacle, they stopped
standing and began to run. The two
men shook hands, and Bill continued:
ST am all you say, an more, too, an
I glory in it, but though I've done my
worst sence I come here, not one O
these here boys has had enough polite
ness in him to size me up an tell me
what he thought of me. Them words
of yourn has encouraged me more'n
you kin think, an hereafter I'm ago'n
ter try an live up to 'em."
And, turning, he shot and killed
every man in the room save the candid
Mr.. Waldo. Once more truth had pre-
vailed.-Charles Battell Loomis, in n

Theyears that he had passed in Colora-

that Harvey Neil believed he had had
no time to think of women. In reality
there had been no particular woman for
him to think about. The rough life
of ranches, the social stratum to which
his work in the smelter had brought
him, and the isolation of the mine, had
alike been barren to such type of
womanhood as alone could appeal to a
taste fastidious by nature and further

GETTING TO WEIGHT.
Jockeys Trying to Reduce InJure
Themselves.


Themselves.
The recent death of Daredevil"
Fitzpatrick, but few years ago one OF
the best of American jockeys, has called
attention to the pernicious effect of
entertaining, for there is but little
doubt that his demise was superin.
duced by this cause, though it was inn
mediately due to pneumonia.
When one reads of the princely sal.
aries paid to jockeys like Sloan, Taral
and Tommy Burns, one is likely to
envy them and think them very for
tunate men, indeed, never giving a
thought, perhaps, to the terrible or
deals they undergo season after sea-
son in order to keep down their ten
dency to grow and to make flesh. Most
jockeys after few seasons experience
in the saddle have a weakened and
peaked expression in their faces. They
look more like manikins than like hu.
man beings, and this weakened and
peaked condition is due wholly and
solely to the fact that they overtrain
or waste" as the English very cor
rectly call it.
FitZpatrick's career as a jockey end
ed about three years ago. Do what he
would he could not 'get down to
weight" after that, and so he aban-
doned the pigskin and turned his at
tention to starting horses instead of
riding them-in this emulating the ex-
ample of Jimmy Rowe, who for several
seasons was the starter for the Jockey
club. Fitz began his career as a WELD
er of the starting flag at Providence in
1894, and he soon became fairly pro-
ficient in this most difficult of occupa-
tons.
For several years before he aban.
doned the pigskin Fitzpatrick's normal
weight was in the neighborhood of 100
pounds, but he had to keep down to
118 pounds to make his services most
valuable. No one who has not gone
through this ordeal or been with men
who have, can have the faintest idea
of the labor, the torment, not to say
the agony, it entails on the unhappy
man who is compelled to daily battle
with nature to keep thin. If it were
only for one or two races during sea-
son it would be bad enough, but to
fight against nature for weeks and
months each year, and to keep up the
fight season after season, is as ter.
rible torture as one can well undergo.
Very few systems can stand it, and
many jockey has sown the seeds OF
consumption while so entertaining.
A few years ago, one afternoon al
Sheepshead Bay, / saw Snapper" Gar,
rison, after winning race, stagger
rather than walk to the refreshment
room, where he ordered what would be
considered very moderate repast,
even in Lent. He ate greedily and as
he did so he accused himself, saying:
This is the only food that has passed
my lips since last evening""
''How is that?" ] asked.
Because l had to ride to-day the race
have just won, and if ate could not
make the weight"
Garrison is now virtually out of the
ranks of the jockeys and is trying hard
for the position of starter with the
Jockey club. He, too, has found it inn
possible to waste" successfully nova
days and to retain the strength which
once enabled him to ride so successful
ly 'the grand stand finishes" which
made his name so famous.-LouisvilIe

Oriental Lady Stopped All Else While
She Said Her Prayers.
Occasionally it will happen that a
Turkish lady will feel called upon to
say her prayers in the midst of a call,
and the method of doing that is quite
remarkable. An American lady de-
scribed to me what happened in one
such instance when she was present.
What time is it?" asked the Turkish
lady, who was the wife of a rich man
and had the seat of honor in the divans
1T is II o'clock" answered the other
lady.
Dear me, did not think it was as
late. must say my prayers"
Then, with much elaboration and
with the assistance of the other Turk
ish ladies who were present, she began
her preparations. First she unbound
the coverings of her head, which were
about a dozen yashmaks, or colored
handkerchiefs, wound over her little
fez. Last of all she took the little fez
off, and her head was bare. Then she
took off three padded fur-lined jackets,
then two silk dresses, very full and that
left her clad in long antare, or fore
and aft apron hanging from her Shout
ders, and underneath this were her
flowing trousers. Next she took off her
slippers and socks turkish women
never wear long stockings), and held
out her pretty white feet to be washed.
A basin was brought in and one of the
attending women poured water over
her feet, while the other stood ready
with a towel to rub them. This same
operation was repeated for the hands,
and last of all the lady washed her
mouth. Then she was ready to pray,
and, putting a rug in position, she
turned to the east and FRUSTRATED her
self, forehead to the floor, nine times in
succession, saying to herself meantime
the ninety-nine names of God. When
this was done she put on her clothes
again and went on with her call as if
nothing had happened. Needless to say
