Spain and the Carlist Cause.
Before 1888 Spain was one of the
great powers. Between 1888 and 1876
there were actually So rebellions,
changes of government and coups 'etat.
Since 1888 Spain has declined in the
scale of nations and now ranks as little
more than third rate power-a glori-
Gus tribute indeed to the wisdom of in
terfering with the settled succession.
In order to understand the present
condition of Spain we have only to read
the daily papers. On the one hand, in
Madrid, we see a titular sovereign
struggling Intellectually with an empty
treasury to stave off bankruptcy, max
ing futile attempts with a discredited
army to subdue his rebellious colonies
and relying upon martial law to crush
civil anarchy, which, be it remembered,
is ever the result of bad government,
incompetent and tyrannical police and
especially of corrupt finance and of tax
| alton pressing too heavily on the class
| least able to bear it. On the other hand,
in Venice, we see the king waiting un-
! til the moment shall arrive for him to
make his final essay to save his country
| from the distress with which the queen
regent has proved herself unable to
| cope.-Fortnightly Review.

Andrea Prison a Roadhouse.

The old stone house in Tappan, N.
Y, known as the Andre House, which
has not been opened to the student
interested in our early Revolution
airy days for many years, was recently
opened to the public for roadhouse.
The house, which was built in 1916,
gains it's historical reputation from the
fact that in 1880 Major Andre was i'm
prisoned there previous to his execution.
The old building has stood the ravages
of TING remarkably well, and but few
repairs were needed to restore it to its
original condition. New York Post.

VEGETABLE HISTORY.

The caulif1ower came from Cyprus.
The eggplant Is a native of Asia,
Africa and South America.
Mushrooms are native to all temper
ate countries in short grass.
Potatoes are native to Peru, and the
Spaniards discovered them. From Spain
they passed into Italy and Belgium.
The cabbage still grows wild in
Greece, where it originated. Radishes
were native to China, but have grown
in Europe for centuries.
Garlic came from Asia and has been
used since the earliest times. It formed
part of the diet of the Israelites in

Suede Corseta

The newest corset is made of suede.
For good many centuries women have
been strapping their bodies up in COM
bination of steel, whalebone and heavy
cotton goods or silk, but it remained for
the woman of today to demand leather
corset 1t does not stretch or get out Of
shape easily, even when worn by very
stout woman. But it is an intensely
hot garment and gives the figure a stiff,
set look. No thin woman would dream
of wearing one of the suede corsets,
though they come in beautiful soft
shades of tan, blue, red and green and
are handsomely embellisned with lace,
ribbon and embroidery.

Whether We have war with Spain

must have and must carry on for

Georgia spends is the money which

investment she makes is the appro.

Vile women have been among the latest
to become inoculated with the clubhouse

for the germs. 1t was put up with the
idea that it might some time be taken
down and put up elsewhere. The wom-
en- who have formed themselves into

secured the building, obtained lease of
an old courthouse lot for ten years from
the city, and as soon as they can obtain
the money for the removal of the build
ing they will have their clubhouse de-

MAYOR TAGGART IN NEW YORK.
Says Indiana Democracy VIII Instruct
for BRYAN in 1900.

The mystery of Mayor Taggart's trip out
of the city still remains unsolved though it
is now ascertained positively that he is, or
was, in New York last Saturday, for he was
interviewed in that city on the Indiana po-
litical situation. A special from New York
to a st. Louis paper, under date of Feb 8.
says:
Thomas Taggart mayor of Indianapolis.
is in town. He is serving his second term
as mayor and is the most popular official
Indana's capital has ever known. Nor is
that all. Tom Taggart is admitted to be
the most popular Democrat in his State.
Two years hence he will probably be the
Democratic candidate for Governor. AS to
the political prospects in Indiana this year
he says: THE Democrats will carry the
State this time. We have now but three
Democratic congressman. In November we
will elect a majority of the thirteen con-
gressmen. We will elect a secretary of
state and the other state officers, except
Governor.
Our platform will be the same as the
Democratic national platform of 1896. The
Democrats of Indiana are for silver. We
are also for Bryan. He is the only candi-
date for President that we think about. He
will be nominated
The Indiana delegation will be in
structed for Bryan early in 1900. We Will
elect Bryan President next time

other Democrat in the State, and it is said
he has never yet missed an election proph-

LOw-PRICED TELEPHONES.
New Company Has 1880 Subscribers
and Needs but 500 More.

The New Telephone Company is the cor
porate title of the new enterprise of which
A. H. Nordyke is president, S. p. Sheerin
vice president and Harry b. Gates secre-
tary, and which has been meeting such UNI
paralleled success in the matter of securing
five-year contracts for telephones which the
company is agreeing to furnish for less than
tWO-thirdS of the present rates.
More than fifteen hundred contracts have
already been signed, and the work goes
merrily on. The success of this enterprise
proves that the people are quickly respon-
sive to any movement for their benefit
which is backed by men of integrity and
responsibility in whom the people have
faith. The New Telephone Company is now
nearly ready to apply for it's franchise. In
addition to the above-named gentlemen
Messrs. ID. M. Parry, Walter Kessler,
Pierre Gray, W. N Gates and Judge L. c.
Walker are on the board of directors. All
these names appear upon the contracts,
which the canvasserS are presenting to the
citizens. Any contract not bearing these
names is not genuine. Several other we'll
known citizens are also stockholders. The
company's contracts are based upon the
conditions that each subscriber shall be in
connection with two thousand telephones
in active operation, equal to the best tele-
phone service in use anywhere, before he
will be obliged to pay a cent. The COM
pany expects, If not unnecessarily retarded
in the granting of its franchise, to be in
full operation by the 18th of August next.

of the various princes who devoted their
time to the construction of the castle up to
the time of the thirty years war'-161S to

the French Orieanic wars, when the castle
