few lessons, she sang my song 1.-The
Throstle" as we'll as | ever wish to hear
it sung. There is one phrase in the song
which | shall always connect with her,
firstly, because she sang it really beau
tifully, and, secondly, because once,

Johnny on Easy Writing.

don't believe twas hard to do,
When Homer wrote of Troy.
There were no rules for him to watch,
No grammars TO annoy.
He had no slang TO guard against,
He spelt the easiest way.
The subjects were not threadbare then,
Because he had first say
And Dante had il easy, too.
In Florence when he wrote.
He made each phrase as he went on.
There were no words to quote.
The common talk of every day
Was good enough to use.
"Too trite" was something never heard
There were no terms to choose.
Old Chaucer had no task at all.
He wrote what came along.
He put down just what people said,
And couldn't spell words wrong.
You see, no one had tried before
To write this brand new speech,
So Chaucer fixed il his own way
For all the schools to teach.
II wasn't bad when Shakespeare lived.
The right no one could tell.
There were no dictionaries then.
No wonder he wrote well.
Now il gets harder all the time.
Each word must mean just so.
The very term you'd like the best
Is one that will not 90.

THE COMING SENATE.
Twenty-three New Members
Will Change 1t Materially.
WHAT THE TWO PARTIES CLAIM.
Republicans Have Made n Gain OF
Two ana Expect Further Gains.
Al Last Session There Was
No Clear Majority.

WASHINGTON Nov. THE control
of the United States senate will be de-
terminod very largely by the result of
the elections tomorrow, when % states
elect legislatures which will in turn
select senators. The present party
strength in the senate is as follows:
Republicans, AZ; Democrats 90; Popu-
lists, 6; silver Republicans, 6. This gives
@ majority TO no one party, and IL has
proved a fruitful source of doubt in
legislation influenced by party lines.
The terms of 30 OF the present SEN
ators are about to expire. and in most
Of these cases the legislatures chosen
tomorrow viii elect successors. In seven
cases. however, legislatures already
have been chosen and senators elected,
viz. Aldrich OF Rhode Island, Daniel
of Virginia, McComas TO succeed Cor
man in Maryland, Hanna OF Ohio, Mon
ey of Mississippi Proctor Of Vermont
and the legislature Of Maine. which has
been elected. but has not yet chosen a
senator. In oregon also Simon has been
elected to fill vacancy. These changes
already made give a net gain Of two 1l
the Republican vote - McComas OF
Maryland and Simon Of Oregon The
remaining % senators are yet to be
chosen. Those who are about TO retire
are Allen (Pop. of Nebraska), Bate
(Dem. Of Tennessee), Burrows (Rep. Of
Michigan). Cannon (silver Rep. Of
Utah) Clark (Rep. OF wyoming), Cock
rell (Dem. Of MissourD, Davis (Rep. OF
Minnesota), Faulkner (Dem. OF West
Virginia), Gray (Dem. of Delaware),
Hawley (Rep. Of ConnecticuD, Lodge

Rep. Of Montana), Mills (Dem. OF Tex
as), Mitchell (Dem. Of wisconsin,, Muir
ply (Dem Of New York;. Pascoe (Dem
Of Florda), Quay (Rep. Of Pennsylva-
nia), Roche CDem. OF North Dakota)
Smith (Dem. Of New Jersey. Stewart
| (silver Rep Of Nevada), Turpie (Den
OF Indiana). White (Dem. Of California;
and Wilson (Rep. of Washington.
In several of these cases the election
Of the present incumbents is expected
but in quite a large number Of them
much doubt exists. The Republican
managers are placing reliance on tho
fact that they need only few votes e
assure them a clear majority, while the
Democrats Populists and silver Repub
licans would have TO carry most all o.
the doubtful legislatures in order 4
prevent a Republican majority.
The states considered most in doub
are West Virginia New York, Pennsyl
vania, North Dakota, New Jersey. In
diana, California, washington and Ne
braslka, conflicting claims being mad
in each state. Among senate ofiicial
the opinion prevails that the anomalou
condition now prevailing Of a senat'
without a majority will end with th
coming election and that the legisla
lures then chosen will give assurance
Of majority rule in the upper branch o
congress after March next.

peace negotiations between Spain and

publicans win show themselves less ex-

clusion and indicate that the nesctia-

be supposed that America Will restore

sent a substitute for a war indemnity.

The Matln says: "The point Of the

NECKLACE OF BLACK DIAMONDS.


The only black diamond necklace
known to exist in this country or
Europe is that owned by Mrs. Celia
Wallace, of the Auditorium. Mrs. Wal
lace has been fifteen years collecting
them and has searched for the perfect
stones in every jewel market in the
world. They are found more often in
the diamond mines of South America.
The black diamond, as it's name sig
niles, is ais jetty piece Of coal, per-
fectly transparent and with all the
.ustre and glisten and brilliant rays of
its white sister. 1t is used as the
mourning stone Of the Russian court.
The necklace is composed of fourteen
pendants. hung on a fine platinum
chain. Each one has black diamond
centre, set closely around with a row
Of steel white diamonds from the
Jaeger mine. South Africa.
The black stone in this larger pend
ant and in the two to each side Of it
are eight kara'ts each. The rest are q
trihe smaller. Between each pendant,
hanging like a pierced dewdrop, Is a
single white diamond, while directly
above the larger pendant is a nine
karat white Indian diamond of un-
usual beauty. For this single stone
unset, Mrs. Wallace paid the neat sum
of $4,000.
The necklace was worn for the frs
time at the jubilee ball. it having been
completed but a short time. 1t was SCI
by a Chicago house. 1t is almost i'm
possible to estimate the value of the
necklace. as no two stones wer'
bought at the same time and none O
them were set. but it is rudely esti
mated at s65 5,OOO.-Chicago inter
