A Sensible Young Wife.

Glow do you like my cooking? Como
now, give me your honest opinion. How
does it compare with your mother's"
''If you want my honest opinion, I
will say your cooking is very fair, but
1t is not quite equal to mothers"
81 did not expect it would be quite
equal to your mothers. but I wish you
to remember that your mother had
many years experience before you were
capable of forming a judgment Of her
cooking"
'By Jove, you are right, I never
would have thought Of that, though
assure you would have made no COM
ments on your cooking il you had not
lskedfor my honest opinion. The point
you have made is good one, but it is
entirely overlooked by young married
men,"

thought of by young wives. The idea
Of any man saying to a girl just year
Or two out of school, You can't cook as
well as mother and never taking into
consideration that mother has had an

Work that Couuts

Every workman ought to say to him
self every day of his life:
'I'll never cast a vote for a man. big
or little, unless he has proved himself
honest and a friend of labor
He ought to live up to that on cleo
tion day. The men who do the work Of
this country can run it if they will.
They can be rulers. 1t is all in their
own hands.
If they will kill jealousy, show faith
in their own class, reward in their un-
ion principles, intelligence and a good
record always-bombast never-they
will soon change the complexion of the
country.
When we say friend of labor we do
not mean merely the advocate of union
with an o. X. label in his hat and on
his loaf. We mean especially the friend
of the man who works as opposed to
the do-nothing. We mean the man who
cares as much for Samuel Gompers as
for George Gould, and as much for the
humblest shoveler as for Cor oers. The
first is easy to find. The second is not
so eaSy.-New York Journal

Court Knew What Was Poker.

Paul Milliken, who is one of the most

incident. 1t is unnecessary to say that
he secured a great many auditors, as
there are numerous admirers Of the
great American game there. A private
game had been broken up in a small

taken before the county judge. The

The Maine Election.

Closely following Vermont, the re-
suit of the State and Congressional
elections in Maine show enormous
Democratic gains. The Republican
political sharps, as usual, attribute
their reduced majorities to the old fic-
ton and excuse of an "off year. and
light vote."s This is folly. The same
causes which produce light Republi-
can vote produce a light Democratic
vote. The Unofficial, but probably cor
rect, reports from Maine indicate Re-
publican plurality on Governor of 90
600, against Republican plurality OF
1897 two years ago. Speaker Reed
loses 1000 of his majority in 1896 and
has his smallest vote since 1892. Sill
yer was the only question discussed in
his district. The other Republican
candidates for Congress suffer a SIM

Silver at 16 to 1 has won a glorious vic
tory by the gains. Samuel l.. Lord,

Mayor of Saco and was a Republican

movement. AS the fall elections of
1898 come nearer the marked change in
the political sentiments of the country
become more apparent. At the spring
election in Rhode Island and the June
election in Oregon the Republicans
held their own as compared with the
elections of 1896. Though few speech
es were made, Maine was flooded with
silver literature and the Democratic
papers discussed nothing else. Moth
ing at all was said about the war or the
abuse, of the soldiers. No definite
charges could be made and the Demo-
Gratis did not lower their cause by

ROthschild and Hanna,

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in advance sheets of it's annual re-
port, just issued, places the outstand-
ing debt of American railroads at $10,-
6339,O74,O 900, says the Journal of Agri-
culture. After Wall street secured the
panic proclamation against silver from
President Cleveland, a majority of the
roads representing this enormous in
fation of over ten thousand million dol
lars, were thrown into the hands of re-
ceivers. While their stocks and bonds
were thus forced down to the lowest
point by the Presidents attack on sill
yer, they were bought heavily by Eng
lish capitalists operating through the
New York syndicate of which ]. Pier
pont Morgan is the leading represent
ative. Morgan has since been actively
at work reorganizing, with English
money, the railroads which were so
skillfully bankrupted by the foreign
spectators whose influence secured the
panic proclamation against silver. AS
the agent Of the Rothschild syndicate
and other foreign investors, Morgan
now represents a greater power in
America than the Goulds and Wander
bits combined. With Hanna of the
Steel Trust Havemeyer of the Sugar
Trust, and Whitney of the Standard Oil
Trust, he is the supreme power in shap-
ing the policies of the Mckinley admin
lStration. The amount of the stock
and bonded debt of the ''reorganized"
railroads of America now held by Eng
lish spectators, runs into the thou
sands Of millions. 1t stands for an in
fation of from two to five dollars on
every dollar of actual cash originally
invested, but the foreign spectators
who force us into panic to bear our
markets, not only demand payment of
dividends and interest on the full face
value, but they demand it in gold. When
We attempt to remonetize silver, so
that we can have money to do business
with at home, while our gold is being
drained to England to meet their ex-
actions, they call us ''cranks," IAN
archists" and "repudiationists." And
finding that these epithets lose their po-
tency, they employ agents to lure us
with promises Of military glory and Of
opportunities to join English. Tories in

GREEK CITY uNEARTHED.

State of Preservation.

State of Preservation.
Private letters bring news OF most
important discoveries made by Ger
man archaeologlsts excayating on the
site of the ancient Priene, IN Asia Min
or, opposite the island of Samos. Years
ago an English expedition excavated
and studied the Temple Of Athena, the
chief sanctuary of the city, built at the
order Of Alexander the Great The
work was then abandoned and mean
while the ruins have been so thoroughly
exploited and wasted by the neighbor-
ing population that nothing is left but
confused heap Of stones. In 1893 the
work of exploring the ruins Of the city
was resumed, this time by Germans,
under the direction Of the Berlin mu-
scum and at the expense of the Prus-
sian government. The architectural
work has been placed in the hands Of
the young architect Wilhelm Wilberg,
former student and assistant of DR..
Dorfeld.
The work has now proceeded far
enough to determine it's extraordinary
Importance A buried city preserved
in the completeness of Pompeii is COM
ing to light. Up to this time no Greek
city has been excayated that gives any
clew to the arrangement Of streets, pub
lie squares, monuments. and public
buildings, or to the architecture of any
considerable number of private houses.
Here we find city, to be sure of the
Hellenistic period, laid out with great
regularity. with streets crossing az
right angles, with shops, cOlonnades,
market places, theaters, a council-houss
and great number Of private houses
preserved in such completeness as to-
display their general architecture, dis
tribution Of space, use, decoration and
equipment.
South Of the great square Of the tenn
pie alluded to above, and closely ad-
Joining 1t, has been found the great
market place or agora of the city, which
was surrounded on all four sides by
broad colonnades. of which that on the
north side was peculiarly noble and
stately. Adjoining this at one end, and
opening a small square building con-
structed somewhat like theater, which,
was evidently the council-house Of the
city. 1t is marvelously we'll preserved.
Sixteen rows of seats are still in place.
The walls. doors, windows, platform,
ETC., are all preserved. One of the side
walls ends in massive arch, which. as
being demonstrably a work Of the
fourth century B. c., must rank as the
earliest, or at least one of the few
earliest, specimens of the arch in Greek
construction. The whole building rep
resents something entirely unique iro
the relics of Greek architecture.
There has also been found a small
theater in which the stage structure,
the skene, Is still standing entire.
Three doors open from it upon the or
chestra. and the proscenium, with its
row of columns, and the architraye
above them, remains intact. No Greek;
theater as yet discovered Is so perfect
ly preserved as this, and in the future
discussions of the "stage question this
structure is likely to assume leading
place.-Benjamin Ide Wheeler in New

A Fault of Business Women.

A professional woman who has TO
employ young woman assistant says
that one of her greatest troubles is that
her assistants are constantly trying to
impress not only upon her, but upon
her patients, that they are not accus-
toned to such employment, but have
been brought up to better things,
though she is aware of the fact that
the young women have come from
homes where there was neither cul-
ture nor money.
1t is one of the weaknesses of many
nice girls that they do not feel sure
enough of themselves in taking up en-
ployment outside their homes. but they
must needs offer some excuse or reit-
crate the fact that they are accustom-
ed to something better. 1t is a weak
ness which brings them little credit
from their confidantes. A girl enter
ing school for typewriting and stem
ography was asked by the other stu
dents why she had come to the school
''Are you taking up stenography, and
going to take position just for fun?''
they asked ''Why, certainly not" she
replied. 1T is too hard work: I do not
do hard work for the pleasure of it."
