situation In the far east is improving.
1t is believed the proposed Chinese
loan OF sl6.60oO00 will be guaranteed

The Pail Mall Gazette continues:
Aside from the japanese, nations like

purely commercial. are well disposed
towards our government and are oppos-
ed to trade eXclusiveness."
Ernest Terah Hooley who negotiated
with China simultaneously with ].
Pierpont Morgan and other syndicates,

and industrious. It is proposed to sub init the questions involved to the court of claims in friendly suit. The Missis- ippi Choctaws claim that they are entitled to Choctaw citizenship in Indian Terri tory. If this claim be conceded, the 1.20O will become the wards of the government in very substantial sense.
 While" said commercial traveller re- gently, you do not find any big fortunes in Mississippi, wealth Is better divided and more scattered than in any state know of. Every one seems to be doing some thing and making a good living, and all seem to have litle money to spend. It is my observation that there is a smaller per cent. of really needy people in Mis- sissippi and the south than in the west ern states. Absolute want is the ex- ception among you people. Your croak- CTS ought to see and know something of want. They don't know what want is and if they could see it as I see 1t every day in many parts of this country they would spent their time in thanksgiving instead of grumbling."

fund of some established college, is a rare bird indeed. Instead of building costly tomb such men think to earn un- dying fame by simply attaching their names to something of an educational na- ture. Such men have no use for comomn schools.
 No the education of all must be at the expense of all. The folly of multiplying colleges will doubtless go on as wealth is increased in this country. and the evil can- selves should see that ample provision is made for common schools. This is a mat ter that is wholly within the control of the voters in this country. and the people who have children, and the people who have no children but who love their country and know the value of elemental education, should take this subject in hand. They should see that education is not confined in this country, as it has in the past been in many countries, to the aristocracy. It should become firm and well-established and accepted doctrine that every child is entitled to an education In the fundament- al branches of learning. The state, in other and plainer words, should teach every child to read, write and cipher. In these days of cheap books and free libra- ries, the child as it grows up can then do the rest, for the child that can read can command all learning. It is the man who grows up illterate, who cannot read, that is the prey of the demagogue, a danger to society.
 Let the people of Alabama do their part. Let them take to heart the fact that they are not providing facilities for the child ren of the state in elementary training. They have, as other states have. thrilled space in buildings for the few, but they have not made adequate provision for the many There is top-heaviness here as there is elsewhere. And the movement which demands more and better common schools and fewer colleges and the like, is a movement that fits Alabama as well as it does Pennsylvania or any other state.

THEIR BEAUTIFUL HANDS

To American women belongs the distinc- ton of having the smallest hands in the world. Next come the women of Austria, Spain, France and Italy.
 Russians have long but beautifully shaped hands. while those of Spaniards are often spoiled by the thickness of the fingers. which are apt to round at the tips.
 The hands of aristocratic Englishwomen are apt to be well shaped, but are some- what long and frequently hard. No one, perhaps takes such good care of her hands as the French woman of fashion. German women usually have large flat hands, with flat fingers.
 A remarkably beautiful hand is that of the present Duchesse de Mouche It IS very small indeed beautifully modelled and has taper fingers curved little at the ex- tremities and almond-shaped nails. The hand of the Vicomtesse de Gallard is per- feet recalling those of the statutes of Canova, which are even more beautiful and distinguished-looking than those of the fa- nous Greek models.
 Two of the Austrian archduchesses are remarkable for the beauty of their hands. They are the Archduchess Elizabeth. moth- CT of Queen Christina of Spain, and the .Archduchess Maria Theresa, sister-in-law of the Emperor Francis Joseph. Mines. de Yturbes and Mieri, though Spaniards, have hands as perfect as their feet, and another peninsula beauty, the Duchess de Morny, is the possessor of beautiful hands.
 A charming Russian hand is that of the Duchess de Sesto, while Lady Randolph Churchil's lovely little hands an ex- celent illustration of those of America 8 fair daughters.

MISS MARLOWE ON BABIES.
Won't Have Then in the Theatre When
 She Plays

From the New York Press.
 Julia Marlowe being a woman and a
 wife, likes babies-in their proper place.
 Besides having these rather commonplace
 characteristics. Julia Mariowe is, as most folk know, an actress, and that is why
 her opinion on the proper place for babies
 is interesting.
 She doesn't like and won't have them at
 any performance at which she is to ap- pear. Their place, the actress maintains
 is at home, and she is firm in her deterni-
 nation to keep them there rather than run
 any chances of being interrupted in the
 middle of a performance by their WlJd and indiscriminate crying.
 "Nothing abstracts me so much,' she said the other night in her dressing room between the acts of 'AS You Like It, at the Knickerbocker theater, "as their ill., timed enthusiasm. I realize that it may be a compliment to me ito know that they are so much worked up over my fmper- sonation of a character that l may De portraying that they simply cannot con- tain themselves, as one of my managers suggested once in arguing the subject with me.
 But nothing that occurs on the other side of the footlightS annoyS me as much as the crying of baby So, one of the | few invariable stpulations that make In securing theater is that babies shall be rigidly excluded from the house as long as I am playing there.
 "Of course, you don't find many theaters in New York that allow babies, even at the matinees, and few New York parents are so inhuman as to want to take their infants to the evening performances, but in other cities my rule raises ofttimes a storm of protests at the gate. l simply would have fit if I knew that one of them got by the doorkeeper and l never would go on the stage until the young thing had been removed.
 'I regret that I have to insist on this provision, for know that there must be a lot of people who like the theater, and have money enough to go occasionally, but cannot afford to hire nurse to look after their babies while they are away, and either are obliged to take the little ones to the theater with them or stay at home. But cannot run the. risk of spoil- ing the evening for all the others who do not bring children with them for the bene- fit of the few that would. Babies at home are the sweetest of mortals, but they are positively out of place in theater"

tion over this subject will doubtless prove interesting. They will travel tSe road that Alabama doubtless will soon go over. and it will be well if every citizen in this state would follow the course of settle ment. The suffrage problem is fully as pressing in this state as 1t is in Louisiana -the need of an intelligent electorate fully as great. With the experience of Missis- sippi, South Carolina and Louisiana as guides, there is no occasion for serious mistake in this important matter. If there be no occasion in Louisiana for indulging "in complicated and unusuaP' propositions, there will be no need for them here. The understanding clause may have seemed to be necessary at one time, but all such provisions are plainly unnecessary when all, both at home and in other states, rec. ognize the dangers of an illiterate elector- af

The Pennsylvania Revolt.

The fall of Matthew Stanley Quay is be- neved to be imminent. The revolt against bossism is everywhere spreading, and even in protection-ruled Pennsylvania it begins to look as if autocratic rule would soon be ended. It will be remembered that Dr. Swallow, running as the prohibition candidate for state treasurer received last year about 13O,0OO votes. Except about 10000 votes, these supporters of Dr. Swal- low were really striking at Quay. A movement is now springing up to put an independent republican ticket in the field. A governor is to be elected, and the in- dications are that ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker will be the independent can didate. The new legislature will be stub bornly contested and MT. Quay has the fight of his life on his hands, Anti-Quay tickets are to be put out in every district
 If bossism can be overthrown in Pennsyl- vania, it can be overthrown in any state; for the state is one-sided in politics, in- tensely partisan, full of corporations and money influences, with a people long ac- CuSIOHeu 10 'DOSSf rule. Old Simon Cameron ruled the state nearly forty years, and Quay's rule has been fully as auto- cratic and even more corrupt and demoral- izing. The condition of public affairs in the state is in truth dsgraceful. The moral and political sense of the people has become blunted. It is insensible to matters that should serve to arouse them to action. Political trickery and rottenness have be- come customary features in their state af- fairs, and it seems if the people of the state had settled down to the conviction that such things must exist in this country. The rule of the boss had become so set tied and so thorough that the people had become apathetic and apparently powerless to help themselves It does not look quite so much so just now. Overwhelmingly re- publican as the state is, 1t will be strange indeed if the present movement does not place Quay alongside the other bosses who, once out, are forever out. Platt's turn will come next.

Bounding BIue-Eyed Bob.

Nobert P. McDavid, of Montgomery, who is a candidate for secretary of state, is one of the best known newspaper writers in every public man in the state knows has taken no little part in the political affairs of the commonwealth. Like every other man engaged in the profession of journal ism, MT. McDavid has aided others in as- cendng the ladder of progress, reacting to the good of their political ambitions, and it is but natural that MT. McDavid should have as his formidable following those who wish to return favor for favors so unsel- fishly extended in the past. MT. McDavid needs no political certificate. He comes from family of democrats whose deeds for the party's good make part of the his- tory of democracy's achievements, his grandfather, R. M. Patton being the first | democratic governor elected after the close of hostilities.
 That Mir. McDavid is eminently qualified to fill the duties of the office no one who has the pleasure of his acquaintance can think of questioning. MT. McDavid belongs to the younger generation of men who have come upon the threshold taking a prominent place in shaping the destinies of the party in the state. He has filled every position on a newspaper from the youngest reporter to editor. For the past four years he has been the one prominent
 
 representing nearly all, if not all, the metropolitan papers of the United States. His service there for the Atlanta Constitu- ton has been noteworthy in the extreme, having built up in this state large cli- ental for that paper, by virtue of its spen- did news service of which MT. McDavid is at the head in Alabama. Mr. McDavid was for a number of years on the staff of The Age-Herald in this city and Is now it's representative at Montgomery.
 Thousands of his friends throughout the state look upon him bounding, blue eyed boy of destiny and many are predict ing for him political future embracing the highest office within the gift of the people of the state. It is not frequent that news paper writers stand for public office, yet | their profession equips them we'll for public positions, and should MT. McDavid bear away the favors of a nomination, which at this time seems encouraging, the office of secretary of state will be filled by a gentleman of high merit who will reflect credit upon his party and integrity of pur- pose upon his state and the office.
