Color In Electric Light.

The eolors in the shop windows on Broadway come out at night under tho influence of the electric light in won- derfully pure way. In the daytime it Is very rare that enc ever gets a perfect color, for the atmosphere softens and merges all the colors of objects, leaving no one color perfectly intact, but mix ing with each suggestions of all the others. That is why in impressionistio painting, like the work of Monet, for instance, there is seldom a pure color. He tries for plein air, for atmosphere, for the shadings which give background and sunlight.
 But by the electric light the back ground in the shops stops abruptly i'll darkness. There seems to be no medium ill which the colors are bathed. They stand out hard, clear. pure, one beside the other, in sharp contrast. The beauty they have is the beauty of utter clear ness, of distinguished purity. They have not the glamour of soft uncertainty of outline, of indefinite extension back into space. Indeed the space element is wiped out altogether, and upon two dimensioned screen, as it were, is thrown the electric light, bringing out in poignant intensity the predominant color of the objects.-New York Com- mercial Advertiser.

Ran and Caught the Car.

A short man with fat, red face ran out of the Erie railroad depot at the foot of West Twenty third street the other forenoon and chased crosstown car which was midway between EleY- enth avenue and the ferry. He was a fast runner and held his hat in his left hand as he gained on the car. The pas. sengers on the reaS platform, jn q spirit of mirth, encouraged him:
 Don't give up. You'll make it Make a spurt, old boy. This is your last chance to get a ear before two min. utes, " one of them said.
 At Eleventh avenue he caught up, and, perspiring profusely, sprang upon the rear platform. He appeared happy, and when he handed his fare to the con- ductor he said: ''These Bleecker street cars that run down Ninth avenue dc not go often, so ran to catch this one. . The conductor rang up the fare, and in 6 matter of fact way answered:
 ''This car goes to Thirty fourth street ferry. Get out and wait for d Bleeoker street car.
 The sprinter got off as some of the passengers cried out:
 "You can run anyway. It Is better to run and lose car than never to per- spire at all. '-New York Commercial

An Artists Slip.

Half century ago, says London paper, the late Sir John Gilbert was commissioned to illustrate a short story for London weekly. When he had fin ished the work, the editor remarked,
 Why, MT. Gilbert, the story says as escort of infantry soldiers, and here on the block you have given us mounted ones '' Dear me, so have, " respond. ed the artist, "but haven't time to da another drawing now. Can't you make an alteration in the story to make it f1s in?'' The "eopy2 was handed to sub. ordinate to make the requisite altera- tion, but that gentleman forgot to de- lete the chapter describing how the sol diers had gained the summit of a steep mountain, parts of which they were obliged to scale with ladders Horses could not have been got there unless by the assistance of g crane. Afterward shoals of letters from subscribers wish sd to know how the cavalry got there.

Paper Thirty Years Ago.

In looking back at what was written ID regard to paper making not more than 30 years ago popular authority, treating of the discovery of paper mak- ing from esparto, the source being Spain, cited Spain as an unstable coun- try. The great business of paper mak- ing might be quite undone or made helpless if it were to depend on Spain for esparto. Next bamboo as crude material was discussed and found im- practicable It's bulk and the cost of carriage would render bamboo for pa per stock impossible Bagasse, the fibrous residue of the sugar cane, was deemed only of relative value, for it gave only 40 per cent of fiber.
 The writer, treating of cotton or linen rags, said that these could be no longer depended upon, and next considered the proposed utilization of wood. He deem- ed this out of the question. Wood, :" he said, contains but small amount of fiber and has little felting power. Then the writer of the article told how several mills in England and Scotland which had tried to make paper from such wood pulp had abandoned it's man. ufacture. It was too expensive, costing 924 to e25 the ton. and so the conclu- sion arrived at was that wood pulp is never likely to be used to any consider able extent

Work Cut Out For the New Repub-
lican Congress.
New York. Nov ia meeting of the
executive committee of the National
Sound Money league was held here to-
day.
The following members were present:
M. E. ingalls, of Cincinnati, chairman;
J. K. Cowan of Baltimore, A. B. Hep
burn and Henry Hentiz of New York,
and E. V. Smalley of st. Paul, general
secretary. Most of the session was oc-
cupied in talk upon the significance of
the result of the recent election.
Congressman Fowler of New Jersey,
attended the meeting and gave it as
his opinion that it would be good policy
to let the currency reform bill of the
house banking committee remain with
out action at the coming short session.
for the reason that it cannot be gotten
through the senate, and that to debate
it in the house, would only develop
antagonisms in the Republican party
that would weaken whatever currency
measure may be brought UP in the
next congress. He thought that the
president should be urged to call an
extra session of the new congress, to
convene in the spring, for the enact
ment of the gold standard into a
statute law and by the adoption of
legislation for the credit currency OF
the country

APPALLING MISERY IN CHINA

Dowager's Bloody Programme.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 16.-The royal
mail steamship Empress of China ar
rived this morning from Yokohama and
Hongkong. Hongkong advices say:
The appalling misery caused by the
Yellow river floods is, even in its bare
recital, narrowing in the extreme. One
of the missionaries engaged in relief
work states that in one of the districts
many were standing in the water for
days, holding their children up out
OF it."
The same writer says: Everywhere

row that my mind is quite oppressed
with it. People by the tens of thou
sans are huddled together on the banks
Of the river, living in a pig-sty fashion,
with only a miserable dole to keep
body and soul together Some not so
fortunate have been compelled to take
refuge on the roofs of their houses,
where they were exposed to a pitiless
rain. Others climbed trees and hung
there tin they dropped to the water
through hunger and exhaustion"

Boise, Ida, Nov. 16.-Mrs. B. f. JEFF
ferson, of Soldier, a backwoods town,
rode sixty miles through a binding
storm on election day to vote for sill
yer. She is an ardent Democrat.
Shortly before the election she removed
from Soldier to Haley, sixty miles dis
tant, taking a registration transfer. But
she neglected to register again in
Haley, and when she went to the polls
to vote she was informed she was
barred by reason of her failure to reg
lister there. 1t was her first opportun-
ity to vote since the equal suffrage law
went into effect, and she had resolved
that she would put in a straight vote
for silver. Determined not to be
thwarted in her purpose, she mounted
a horse and rode the sixty miles in the
storm in seven hours, arriving only a
short time before the polls closed.
Someone challenged her vote, but she
told her story and the challenger found
it convenient to decamp hurriedly be-
fore the enraged miners could get at
him. The little polling place rang with
the cheers of the crowd as the plucky

Aguinaldo Refuses to Release the

Manila, Philippine Islands, Nov. 16.-
General Otis, the commander of the
American forces. recently proposed to
Aguinaldo that he release the friars
and civilians held in captivity through
out the provinces. The insurgent leader
denied their maltreatment and refused
to release them, claiming that the civil
ians had enlisted as volunteers. and.
therefore, were legitimate prisoners of
war. Aguinaldo also denied that women
and children were detained. but said
some women and children had volun-
tarily accompanied their husbands or
fathers into captivity.
AS to the friars. Aguinaldo argues
that they are prohibited by the pope
from accepting appointments; that
they are only permitted to follow mo-
nastic lives. and that the parishes are
entrusted to ministers OF the independ-
ent monastic orders. But, he adds. the
