EGGS FOR WHITE HOUSE.

LFrom the Cincinnati Enquirer.1
A Virginia farmer, Mr.. Harrison Bor-
den, has for the past eight years been
supplying the White House with all its
eggs, and as he gets a fancy price for
the two crates of 80 dozen which he
ships weekly, and finds a more than
ready market for all the surplus at the
same fancy prices on account of his
presidential trade, he is doing very
nicely, thank you
Mr.. Borden, with his own hands, Sc
lects the largest and the plumpest. and
the whitest of the hen fruit for the
White House crates, giving each one a
vinegar bath and a birth certificate.
About five miles from Woodstock is
the farm where Mr.. Borden gets 81 for
his wheat the year round by turning it
into eggs and his thousand common
LeghornS are Toasted upon beautiful
scenery and pulverized bone. Their
comfortable one-story white concrete
houses. each one accommodating a hun
dred chickens. front upon a sparkling
mountain stream Each one of these 10
by 16 houses has a high ceiling and a
separate yard for lawn parties, although
for part of the day, by registering their
name and address, they are given the
run of the farm.
Cleanliness and warmth, Mr.. Borden
says, are the great factors in the pro-
duction of nice clean eggs. He has not
found the breeding of fancy chickens
profitable from the egg standpoint, the
hen of our fathers being good enough
for him. It took him five years to get
the White House contract but by merit
Of his goods he finally won 1t and has
held 1t ever since.
The Monday following Easter will be
the greatest drain upon his resources,
and he has all his hens now working
overtime for the annual Easter egg
rolling on the White House lawn. which
for that one day in the year, is sprink-
led with sharp cOrnered sections of eV-

COLONIAL ART.
TFrom the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript
Never was word so overworked as the
one we hear on every hand nowadays,
namely. colonial If a man builds
house. severely plain in style, why. it
is colonial; if he has an old house re-
modelled by the addition of three or four
posts as supports, he has by that opera
ton secured for himself a colonial
mansion. If madame becomes the pos
SCISSOR of any old piece of furniture,
why, it is colonial; if she selects for
her windows very simple drapings.
they, too, are entitled to be called col
onial." So it goes. Some remarks which
Mr.. Clarence II. Blackall makes in the
subject Of Good and Bad Colonial
Architecture" are quite apropos of the
times. He says that colonial archi &C
ture at its best is a third-han style.
brought about in this way: Sir Chris
topher Wren, who gave distinct Eng
lish imprint to the work of the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries, drew
his ideas of Italian architecture not
from Italy, but from France, and the
American colonies borrowed their arch
itectural ideas from the English work,
chiefly through the medium of the very
meager books upon the subject when
colonial architecture as such assumed
it's best phases. The scarcity of archi-
tects in America in those days and the
limited means at their disposal forced
them to Limitation of style which came
very close to poverty, both in ideas and
in details. On the other hand, their
architectural problems were necessarily
worked out in a straightforward man
ner and with such close copying of
really good models that the best of the
work rose to the dignity of historic
style. 1t is to these older examples
rather than by studying the modern
buildings that the student of colonial
architecture should look for real help.
In the modern buildings the distinctive
characteristics are less appreciate and
the difference between what is really
good and what is only passable work
is not so readily appreciated as in the
older work for which the models We're
exact and the copying therefrom carried
almost to servility.

First Reception in a Haren.
[From the Paris Herald

IFrom the Paris Herald
Nowhere in the east is the influence
OF modern life making itself more felt
than In Cairo, where the women are
only slightly yelled with a gauze so thin
as to leave their usually pretty features
easily distinguishable and to enhance
the beauty of their dark eyes. But when
one of the highest princesses of the
blood decides to break the secIusion of
her harem and throws it open for the
reception OF her friends and invited
guests, Egypt and the Orient may well
pause to contemplate and admire with
Europe the independence and foresight
of celebrated Mohammedan woman
who is willing to give to the world and
society the benefit of her cIeverness and
experience.
The Princess Nazli Hanum is the first
MOslem princess that has ever done
this. Her highness is the daughter of
Prince Mustapha FAIL, brother of his
highness the late Ismail Pasha- She
married the former minister of foreign
affairs at Constantinople, HALL Sheriff
Pasha, and is deeply Versed An eastern
and European politics, literature and
art, besides possessing a charm of con-
versation and manner. She has received
kings and emperors, among them Ma
pOleon III and the car of Russia Her
/ harem is full of signed photographs and
the Emperor of Austria, the Prince of
Wales, Bismarck. Gortchakoff and the
Duke of Connaught
Her last reception was largely a court
affair-a matinee and a reception COM
bined As 1 entered the grand salon the
last strains of one of Mozart's SYM
phonies fell on my ear The subdued
light, the soft, mellow music, the many
colored and beautiful costumes the ne
gress attendants in rich silks, turbans
and jewels; some standing by silver
trays containing sherbet, in one room,
others moving around like phantoms
among snow-white tables laden with
silver and gold dishes filled with fruits
and sweets in another-an combined to
lun one into an Oriental dream that was
a reality.
Princess NazH was sitting at the head
OF the room on a magnificent brocaded
lounge with a high gilded back, and
| wearing a dress of purple cloth en-
| broidered in black, with duchesse lace
about her neck and corsage. Near her
was the brilliant Countess of Mountjoie
IN pink silk gown, with point applique
lace, a Gypsy hat with white feathers.
Among her guests were all the distin-
guiShed people of all nations then in
Cairo, both men and women, as we'll as
the noted men of her own country. Next
to the khedive's ball, 1t is this reception
given by the Princess NazH Hanum that
has created the greatest f1utter in Cairo

OLNEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Movement in His Interest Is Well
Under Way.

Milwaukee, March 2s-The Journal to-
day says:
That a movement is underway to
make ex-Secretary of State Richard
Olney the Democratic candidate for
president next year is revealed in a let
ter from Boston to the Journal.
General Olney's campaign is based on
the theory that he is in favor of imper-
ialism, while opposed to annexation.
The writer of the letter referred to Is
very prominent in Democratic politics
and he says the movement in Mr.. Oh
ney's favor is well underway. 1t is
urged in Mr.. Olneys behalf that he,
though a gold Democrat in 1896, did not
make himself obnoxious to the free sill
yer element and that on the expansion
question he would be an available can
didate, being opposed to the annexation
of distant islands to the territory of the
United States. Mr.. Olney's views on
the acquisition of foreign territory are
very pronounced. He believes in the
United States striving with other ma
tions of the world for commercial great
ness, but not for political extension.

THE U p 7o'pu4svE:
and power


Senator Connolly of Granite county has
an u%ndoubted right to bring an action to
properly punish the defamers of his char
acter.
Not only does he enjoy this right but it
is his duty to do so.
So far as Governor Smith is concerned,
he cannot hide behind the plea that his
protest filed with the ena is a privil-
eyed communication, without holding
that he subscribed to it in his official ca
pacity as governor.
To take this ground is to place himself
in the attitude of officially trying to de-
the legislature and officially affirmed by
himself.
To confess this would be equiva-
lent to laying the foundation for his
own impeachment, and it is not at all
likely that he will go to that extreme.
The way is clear for Senate Connolly
to make things lively. for all the parties
who subscribed to the assault upon his
character.
Some years ago Governor Larrabee of
Iowa was indicted by a grand jury for
state penitentiary, and with such a pre-
cedent it would seem that a man who is
charged with a penitentiary o%ffense, but
who is still on the outside of that institu-
ton, ought to have some rights, even
against the chief executive of this state.
If Governor Smith, in his anxiety to
serve the anti-Clark wing of the demo-
cracy, went to the extreme of charging
an innocent ma with a penitentiary Of
Tense. there is no question as to the right
Of the aggrieved party to seek a proper
vindication in a court of justice.
The halo which surrounds the guberna-
torial chair is no preventative to the adj
ministration of justice, if a wrong has
been lone an innocent man.
Having publicly asserted his innocence,
the people look to Senator Connolly to
vildicate himself of the charges made
against him., by seeking through the
courts to punish those who have so griev-
ously wrorged him and blackened his
character throughout the United States.
With all the prosecutions instituted by
one wing of the democracy, the situation
is becoming m~onotonous.
In these days of judicial activity the
ola ry man chn,1H ppt rarp,it cn ,,,,,b II,

GUERRILLA TACTICS.

With Aguinaldo's body guard cap
tured or killed, his army scattered to the
four winds of heaven, and the lately
.eulogized George Washington of the
south seas himself a fugitive flying from
point to point in disguise, the democratic
the war in the Philippines is a long way
from being over.
1t is argued that guerilla bands will
keep up the contest indefinitely. and such
will no doubt be the case, to some ex-
tent, until the presidential election in the
fall of 1900 convinces the followers of
Aguinaldo that it is impossible for the
democracy to come to their rescue by
ordering the withdrawal of the federal
troops and the surrender of the island!
But the FiliDinos may discover that
guerrilla warfare has it's disadvantages.
When Aguinaldo ceases to maintain
even the p%retence of a government, and
the insurrection has been thoroughly
broken, the work of guerrillas will be
regarded from quite another standpoint.
Filiptnos captured in wal ave been
most humanely treated, every possible
consideration having been shown them.
But it is customary to hang guerrillas,
and the Introduction of this benefcent
practice may AVE q discouraging ef-
feet upon those who contemplate an in
definite career of outlawry.

The farmers and trades people through

of things. which relieves them from the

lection and prosperity.
With the non-combatant masses Of the
Filipinos rejoicing over the downfall Of
the brigand who has remorselessly prey
ed upon their resources and Aguinaldo
trying to effect his escape, disguised as
an expansionist, the outlook is pretty
gloomy for the democratic press.
1t would be something of a joke if the
settlement of the Philippine question,
and republican legislation against the
trusts, finally forced them to again take
up the silver slogan, which they attempt
ed to relegate to the rear, in default Of
anything else for a paramount issue.
