There Is much talk In the press OF Eu-

queen of Holland. II Is said that she
does not wish 20 change her condition,
but purposes TO rule alone, like Elizd-
beth OF England and Catherine OF Rus

cellent reason In the Arrangement made
for her, that II she should become the
mother OF a son she shall yacate the

her early "twenties" refused several
good offers on the ground that "by her
faith and truth, and as God heard her,
She best liked The state she was then In
and was persuaded there was no other
comparable to it, and so intended to
continue"
But why should poor child be teased
about marrying when she Is only 172
Queen Victoria, the type for all time Of

THE COTTON SHIRT WAIST.
IL Is an Up-tO-Date Garment of SUI
preme COauetry Despite Its
Chenpness. -.t.

Shirt waists OF the cotton persua-
sion are growing very coquettish in
deed, and into the field Of cotton blouses
has come a new white shirt waist made
of all over embroidery. II is an exceed
ngly picturesque and soul-satisfying
garment on n white hot summer day.
and under Il must be worn n cache cor
set of white linen or colOred silk.
In all respects this latest conner is
made quite like any gingham shirt.
minus the very prevalent tucking.
Some of them. it is true, show wide
sailor collars Of embroidery, under
which, in front. knots small bright
tie of soft silk Stiff white linen collar
and cuffs are made on to these shirts.
but the front buttons are white woven
bullets.
There Is almost sensation over the
cotton. silk and percaie shirts, with
finished tails, that the tuilcrs are put
ting out as bait to novelty seekers.
This is a direct inducement TO wear the
short and hitherto concealed tail out
side the dress belt, and Just how the
great feminine public will receive the
idea is not yet known In scallops
points and wedge-shaped tabs, or full
ruffies, the tails are completed and
slim-waisted women undenlably profit
by this pretty decoration. rit
No demur of the faintest sort has
been offered to the shirts ofwhite linen
and nansook having richly embroid-
cred bosoms. The bosoms are soft
and full and fretted with most delicate
needle work. usually in a series Of
wreaths or vines. Not n tonch Of color
is introduced in the figures, jeweled
buttons are worn in the cuffs and bosom
and a bright taffeta stock takes the
place of the linen collar. These expen-
sive dainties of dress are regarded as
eminently appropriate for any morn
ing occasion, even for a wedding In
summer and in the country.-Philadel-

KING AND BRIGAND.
Romantic Adventures OF n caucasian

The tribes IN the Caucasus have, By

years ago he returned TO his native

He did so with the full eognizance OF

Ing the simple peasant folk TO wonder
at his wisdom.
This mans power and influence over
the minds Of his coreligonists grew
with such amazing rapidity that Il
would only have required a word from
him TO cause revolution against the
Russians.
As the officials in this village were
abjecily in fear OF incurrlng Ahmed
Abuzar-Ogli's anger, 1t was due to the
chance visit of a high government comp
troller that the true state OF affairs
leaked out Prince Galiizn. the gov

TO be always happy and placid whatever
happens. They are so thoroughly un-
sympathetic, so unmoved by the Joys
and SORROWS of others. that so long us
they live in comfort they arc perfectly
content But great many well-mean-
ing people contrive TO be unhappy when
they might well be the reverse. They
have made up their minds that this
world is a sad and weary one. and they
will not grasp end benefit by the few

fully understand the divine dictum,
weep with them that weep" but they
fail to realize the equally binding OBJ

Of historians as being always beyond

erected by some OF the early colonisis.
1t Is also not advisable to buy curios un-

a French monastery where he was
shown what was asserted to be he skull

have contributed to SO reduce the
prices of commodities that goods
which would once have brought the
producer 500 now bring him only $50.
This is a worldwide condition, where
gold prices prevail. and because man
ufacturers cannot get the old prices
for goods they say they cannot pay the
old prices for labor. But if it had not
been for the demonstration Of silver
the wages of labor everywhere in re-
cent years would have risen, because
each laborer has been able, year by
wear, to create a larger product, ana
he has therefore been entitled to larger
wages as his share of that product
The legitimate rise in wages the adop-
ton OF the gold standard has prevent
ed. and instead of a rise comes a
fall
Senator Chandler says this is the
whole case in a nutshell and that it IS
impregnabie. He closes his appeal by
saying: 1.-The unanimous vote Of or
ganized labor in America and Europe
is therefore against the single gold
standard and in favor of the restOra-
ton of silver to it's Did position as
standard money. American labor now
has a protective tariff. Let all Re-
publicans fight to keep the green
backs in circulation and to get rid OF
slavery to the gold men, who are try
ing to drive out of use the silver
sloney of the wage earners Of tbe
world"
If ever there was an uncompromis-
ing Republican partisan it is Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire. New
England has been represented as be-
ing as faithful to what gold standard
advocates call Sound money as it IL

party. Senator Chandler insists that
he is sticking steadfastly to real

ciples of the Republican party. anG

party to uses in direct conflict with

CHANDLER AND THE CURRENCY.

Mr. Wolcott, of Mckinley's inter-
national bimetallic commission, Tex
planned" things to the Senate Mon
day, and his explanation is of more
OF less interest and Importance,
though, to be sure, there is scarcely
anything left to explain in that con-
nection, unless it be Mr.. Wolcott's
own astonishing belief that Mckinley
did not know what Gage was doing
and his own "hope" that England
might yet be brought to the bimetallic
standard.
We would like to know what Sena-
tor Chandler, of New Hampshire,
thinks of it. Wolcott is a bimetailist
and SO is Chandler. The latter will
fight against the gold standard and
everything that tends in that direc>
ton. In his paper, the Concord Eve
ming Monitor. recently appeared a
leading article over his personal sig
nature, the heading of which says:
'sThe reduction of wages is caused by
the gold standard" Senator Chandler
says in the article that "a good New
Years resolve for Republicans IS to
demand and during 1898 struggle for
b:mceallism.' He urges every man
who works for wages to fight against
the single gold standard of money,
because it is the most potent cause Of
the recent reduction in wages made in
all the factories in New England.
eThe characterization Of silver" he
says. and the consequent apprecia-
ton of gold, which measures values.
