even the most blase man will hesitate
about running up against them. But kiss

tunities for indulging in their favorite
pastime, and it is utterly useless for their
mothers to preach or keep a weather eye

"a certain charming woman, who isn't
afraid of being thought unconventional -
remarks a writer in the Milwaukee Senti-

musicales only TO discover that they detest
the sound of a piano, and have only ac-
cepted because they didn't know what else
to do, and that she has done forever with
forcing cards upon other people who
would rather be let alone to talk to each
other. My new scheme will do away with
that, she explained. My idea is to decide
at the beginning of each season Just how
many and what kind of entertainments
shall give during the winter This list I
mean to mail to all my acquaintances
asking each one to check off the particular
thing he prefers and return the list with
his name. Then l shall sort these out. nut
ting all of one kind in a pile by itself. and
when the time comes for me to give a
function" all that I shall have TO do will
be to make up my invitation list from
these names. In that way, you see. /
shall be assured that every one is getting
what he likes most, and that II he is bored
he can reflect that 1t is all his own fault
and that next time he had better choose
something else. Sounds brutal? I'd like
10 know why. I'm sure there is lust as
much sentiment in my plan as there is in
the getting even" process that we all
follow now" And the listener agreed that
there was.

EFFECT OF WAR ON BUSINESS


One remarkable feature of this war is
the very slight disturbance in the vol
ume of business transacted. The de-
crease has been In the line OF new enter
prises and there Is decline in the ex-
tent Of speculation: but what has been
lost In one way has been gained in an
other, SO that the aggregate is the same.
This country never entered upon war
with 30 little misgiving, and no nation
ever experienced such an utter absence
OF financial insecurity as that OF this
country now.
Public attention is distracted and In
the end our debt will be SO much greater
that for few years We must submit to
greatly increased taxation. even IL no
Issue Of bonds should be necessary. but
there are very few idle men In the coun-
try, and with that activity comes very
general circulation OF money. Indeed.
the bulk OF the cost, 30 far, OF the war
has been a mere transfer Of money from
one pocket to another.
In some branches Of industry. apart
from the demand for munitions OF war.
there Is an unusual activity. For in
stance, 100000 worth of new steel
freight cars has been ordered by one OF
the large railway lines. The foreign
trade for March Ia declared to be the
most remarkable exhibit OF the most
remarkable year In the commercial his
tory Of this country. The excess OF
merchandise imports was $5l.s10.000. an
increase Of 81. 900 over the same
month in 1897. The largest gold i'm
ports in March, a movement which has
created such disturbance ana anxiety In
leading European money markets. were
$50. 000. 900 less than the excess Of mer-
chandise exports. which means an in
crease Of Europe's debt to this country
OF that amount on the face Of the visit
bic items OF the foreign trade. For the
fiscal year to date. nine months, the fig
ures are so large as to influence every
money market and every budget OF the
world. The excess OF merchandise ex-
ports Is SAT-, 961, 900. and the actual fav-
orable balance OF trade is $44O, 100000.
While American per cent. bonds are
at 1IT,s to 1f9, and strong at those fig
ures, Spanish per cent. bonds are at
saass and weak. Spain must take 80
cents for a dollar OF bonds and pay
per cent. for that dollar: we can get 1lS
cents for dollar OF bonds and only pay
4 per cent. for that dollar. In Spain
gold is at 90 per cent. premium. which
IL to say that her money is worth only
a triffe more than so cents on the dol
lar, while with us all our money is at
par and on parity, Of course - and
Is likely 70 remain so.
Our solvency. our financial integrity,
which makes one dollar of any form Of
our money equal to any other dollar Of
our money, and our wealth are what
would cripple Spain In her bankrupt
condition. and with her deprecated
money, EXCEPT gold. even IL her fleet
were as powerful as ours.

ish navy were sent 70 the Philippdnes
they might do considerable damage to
our ships there. The part Of prudence
would be. IL the Odds were heavily
AGAINST Dewey. to notify him In time
TO abandon the Philippines and make
for the Pacific coast. The Pacific neet
having been demolished. we need not
care anything about the islands for the
present. II IL certain that II the At
lantic squadron should attempt to pass
through the Suez canal II would not be
q work OF much difficulty to ascertain
the exact strength Of the force. Know
ing that, we could determine whether
to take chances or recall Dewey.
Apparently II was the original pur-
pose Of the government TO leave Cuba
alone. and not attempt to land any
force, until IL could be backed up by
the navy. It would have been unwise
TO withdraw any ships from the squad
ron sent out to meet the Spanish fleet
until the latter had been encountered
and vanquished. It must be remem-
bered that we have had to keep our
vessels 30 arranged that from the coast
north Of Boston to the Gulf OF Mexico
the entire feet could be concentrated
in short order. 1t was impossible to
foresee what the objective point Of the
Spaniards was. It might be Havana,
or Boston.
1t might be their purpose to 60 In
body and pick out isolated warships
patroling the coast. and BY sheer force
of numbers destroy one after another.
without any knowledge Of that fact
reaching the land until considerable
mischief had been done. Our Atlantic
coast lire covers q considerable dis
lance and 1t taxed our resources to keep
up close connection between the watch
full cruisers and the sQuadrons, and at
the same time adequately protect each
Of the harbors.
Now that there is no longer any fear
Of an incursion by the Spanish fleet,
our forces can be concentrated at one
or two points and the landing OF troops
on Cuba be covered.
The naval authorities felt it was nee
essary to have the unhampered control
of all the warships In order to carry
out the policy Of first clearing the seas
of the enemy. 1t would do much more
to cripple Spain to annihilate its feet
than it would merely to take possession
of Cuba 1t was calculated that the
New York. Indiana. Iowa and Puritan
Of Admiral SIMPSONS feet, and the
Massachusetts,, Texas and Brooklyn OF
Commodore Schley's squadron, would
be sufficient to cope with and destroy
the main body Of the enemy, but they
have a large number Of small boats
which would occupy the attention Of
good portion OF those belonging to the
United States which could be spared
from patrol duty.
In the present aspect Of affairs 1t
seems evident that Cuba must be occu-
pied at once. Having landed con-
siderable force. 1t will not be difficult
matter to keep open the channel Of sup
plies between the coast Of the island
and Key West. Immediately after the
occupation our fleet will depart for
Spain with the avowed purpose OF seek
ing the Spanish fleet there. This will
serve to call home all her warships and
so free US from any fear OF further mo-
hesitation In the Gulf OF Mexico.
