The sympnthctic womnu.

The truly sympathetic woman is Just AZ
ready to laugh as to weep with us on oc-
cssion. She Is never tirei with our troubles
nor envious of our good fortune. She has
the knack of making men feel that their
concerns are her concerns, though they tend
but to the football field and are bounded by
the smoke Of the favorite meerschaum. This
is an art in itself, and its reward tarries
not, for such woman is never without an
attendant swain. When men are scarce,
when there are not enough OF them to go
around, she has them to spare. She can
make any man feel very fine fellow IN
decd in his own eyes, and this is feeling
sought after in this world

Mr.. II. p. Yonkum, general freight and
passenger agent Of the Houston East and
West Texas railroad. returned TO
port, La. He reports business at that point
very brisk, and states utsat while there the
local board OF health held meeting. at
which the Numbers concluded that the ex
stins quAranL.n arrangements were all
that could be desired, that II was unneees-
sary TO place any further restriction or EN-
barge against any Of uhe fever affected dis
tricis. and that There was no longer any
possibility OF The contngiop spreading. This
decision leaves all hte gatoways OF traie
practically open IN that section, aud In
spires the belief that the alleged yellow
fever hngaboo is about played out in
that territory

Increased Gross Earnings.

Gross earnings OF all roads reporting for
the first half OF September show an In
crease OF i.6 per cent over last year, and
earnings about the same as those in 1882.
The granger roads stand out pre-eminent
gaining thus far in September H.l per cent
over last year ana II q per cent over the
same time in 1892. Southern roais show a
gain OF 73 per cent. The Pacific roads,
however. show an important decrease COM
parsd with 1892 The Southwestern lines
make the poorest exhibit OF any group, los
ing Ga per cent compared with last year.
This was due, however, mainly TO delay In
moving cotton and II should be mide up
by relatively large gains In the coming
month

THE FEMININE OBSERVER.

Plaid neckties for men are more festive
than ever.
The average woman prefers being ideal
ICED to being understood.
Sales of rugs and curtains now vie with
millinery in feminine favor
The neckwear displayed in the shop win.
dow this fall is particularly chic.
Never were wells in such great demand
To wear two is the entirely correct thing.
In contemplating what we do for Others
We are very apt to forget what we do fol
ourselves.
Women of dainty taste prefer to scent
their belongings with sachet powders rather
than with extracts.

NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS-.

The Democrats at their conven-
ton in this city last Monday NOM
mated the Hon. Oscar Turner as
their standard bearer in the coming
election to choose a Congressman
from this district. Mr.. Turner is
a well known and popular lawyer,
and his selection is a recognition of
the young Democracy which gives
general satisfaction.
Tie Republican nominee is Hon.
Walter Evans, who is now serving
his second term. Unless his party
factions unite there is little pros
pect of his winning what already
seems hard race, as the Demo-
Gratis are said to be now ready for
the contest.
The indications are that the cam
paign will be lively while it lasts,
but will be free from the rancor and
mud singing that have character
lied former elections.

PEACE WITH HONOR AND WITH
PROFIT.

One of the most able and sensi-
bic articles relative to the war that
has come under our notice is the
following, from the Philadelphia
Catholic Standard and Times, which
we hope will be carefully read by
some of the leading men and writ
ers of Kentucky.
Grim-visaged war has smoothed
his wrinkled front-and we most
devoutly trust that the same front
may remain for years without a
crease or crow s-foot; for war spells
ruin to many household and to
many a commercial house, We
have little fear that the war with
Spain will be re-opened, it says. 1t
is true that the present cessation of
warfare rests only upon the author
ity of protocol-that is, prelim-
mary overture for final agreement
upon peace between the belliger-
ent parties. But it is equally true
that there is a mutual desire for
peace behind it, and this desire
ought to be effectual in bringing
about an agreement among the ne
gotiators.
One serious bore of contention
has been flung into the arena of
discussion, and appears likely to
cause trouble. This is the question
of the future control of the Philip
pines. 1t is seriously proposed by
a large number of public men and
newspaper editors that the control
of the whole of the Philippine
Islands be assumed by the United
States, not only as duty but as
right. A vast deal of eloquence is
being expended in sustainment of
this view, and vast deal Of argu-
ment, some ingenious, most of it
very disingenious. 1t seems to us
that the whole matter requires only
a very simple test. There is a
question of fact at bottom of it, and
a question of national honor. We
are bound by the law of nations,
and by that law we are pledged to
deal with this question in accord
ance with the facts of the case.
The terms Of the protocol with cur
late adversary are binding no less
