with evident acceptability.
On Tuesday evening the Normal
School Orchestra very brilliantly de-
lighted large audience with a num-
Der of their choice selections. After

amusement.
Good suppers are being served eacf

whisky each day and never miss the sum
he spends would do we'll to reckon up how
course Of q year.
Some years ago three young men in Co.
lumbus, Ohio, carpenters by trade, engaged
to work for builder, promising to stay
completed. They were to receive the same
wages, and were to draw them as they
chose. The work lasted from spring until
Christmas. On the final settlement one Of
young men, who frequented the tavern,
balance to his credit OF $3.50. The second,
who was somewhat moro moderate
drinker. had $11; the third, who was a tee-
totaler, had $3.50. The first and second
wore very seedy clothes, and were in debt.
The third had good suit Of clothes and
no debt. Surely total abstinence pays!-

The Expression of Rooms.

Every room and house should be
the expression of the needs and tastes
of the owners. Other bomes or rooms
should not be copied literally. Ideas
and suggestions may be obtained from
such sources, but they must be EN-.
bodied into general plan only so far
as they are consistent with the indi-
vidual's special needs and tastes.
Strive to give good effects in the al.
rangement OF articles, but comfort Of
the other members of the household
should not be sacrificed to attain any
artistic end. Comfort in the home
should come first, and then ornamental
ton. Make the most of every sunny
window, and ungainly corners should
be converted into attractive hooks.
Naturally unpleasant rooms can be
turned into cheerful places of abode
if proper study is given to their re-
quirements. A few shelves in the
right place, a cosey corners comforta-
bic couch piled high with soft, downy
pillows, pretty but not expensive pic
lures, table with books and photo
graphs may redeem an ugly room, and
make it place to linger in.

A Pretty Panel.

A very pretty way to fill up an ugly
space between two door castings which
is not suitable to hang picture in, or
i'll case one does not own picture the
proper size and shape, is to take q
length of china silk of harmonious
tint, and lay it in tucks standing up
ward. 1t is necessary to begin at the
top of the space, at the frieze, if pos
sible, and lay the tucks deep enough
to hold up photographs. These tucks
should be tackled with brass-headed
tacks to keep them in place, and the
silk drawn tightly across the space.
This is pretty decoration even
with but few pictures if the color is
we'll chosen. Where there are great
many pictures and the background is
completely covered, firm quality of
less expensive material will do just
as WELL
Where there is set of pictures
which would make straight string of
views across the panel, the silk can be
especially arranged so as to form top
fold as well rs the lower holding fold
with pretty effect.
A lattice of ribbons or tapes may be
used in the same way, an6 such col
lection is always far more interesting
than in a basket or album, both of
which are SO terribly passe that they
are never seen nowadays, except as
heirlooms. New York Herald.

House-fitters are suggesting the use
of the marbled enamelled cloth upon

it is waterproof and also very easily

the abductor was the agent Of an artif-
cial limb company, and had repaired this
particular leg some time before. He says
that he was never paid for the job, and
that he will hold the leg in custody until
the money is forthcoming. The owner of
the leg awoke to find it gone, was wrath
full, received the explanation of his wife

CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
DIR. Rafael ZaIdivar's Mission TO Mex
leo aud France.


BALTIMORE. Oct 27.-Dr. Rafael Zaldi-
var, former President Of Salvador. has been
appointed Minister from his country to the
French Republic, and will reach Paris
about the end of November. He will go
to Washington first, however, on diplo-
matte business. He is at present in Mex
leo on a special mission from President
Regaledos to President Diaz, and the dis
turbed state of affairs in Guatemala is
thought to have something to do with the
fact that Vice President Mariscal. of Mex
ico made the visit 10 this country instead
of President Diaz.
The financial situation in Guatemala is
most wretched, and the best opinion Of
competent judges is that a foreign loan
will have to be negotiated. The only Sc
curity that can be given which would be
acceptable would be the management Of
the custom houses. This will probably
take place in the near future, and the
money will come from Germany and Eng
land.
DR.. Zaldivar will be remembered as be-
ing President of Salvador at the time when
the great Dictator Ruino BarriOs attempt
ed to force a union of the five Central
American Republics in 1885. Zaldivar
boldly placed himself at the head Of the
army Of Salvador, and met Barrios at the
famous battle Of Cholchuapa. where Bar
rios was defeated and killed Since

LOSS OF INSURED GOLD.
The Question OF Paying for the
TraHsvaaI Seizure

NEW YORK Oct 27.-An interesting
question has arisen in connection with the
seizure Of gold bullion by the TransvaaI
Government. The bullion was valued at
500 600. and insured at LIoyds London.
Owing to the extraordinary situation and
the belief that England will win in the
end. the opinion is expressed that the
underwriters will be eventually reim-
bursed by the Transvaal Government. and
not made to suffer loss.
If this is so. the risk becomes less
hazardous. although the question may not
be decided for months to come. There is
some doubt whether the ordinary insur-
ance on the gold protects 1t from CON
mandeering" but it is thought that under
writers may have difficulty in proving a
distinction between that sort OF appropria-
tion and ordinary robbery. Part of the
consignment appears 10 have been insured
under a special form of contract towering

state Of South Africa. and as to this pOr-
tion no dispute is likely to arise. Although
the amount which has gone astray is very
large, some statements putting IL as high
as $500. .000. there is not likely to be any
trouble over il, as it was well reinsured.

day for the appointment of a temporary
administrator, pending the contest be-
quest OF $25 600 in the will is made under
trust provisions by which the executors
can use it for his benefit, and that of his
wife, from whom he is separated. The mo-
tion was made by his counsel, John r.
Dos Passos and A. n. Hummel They urged
that the estate was large and some of the
buildings not included were old and re-
quired looking after while the contest was
in progress. $50
David Mcclure, in behalf of Mrs. Corne-
liza G. Hughes daughter of the testator,
ccntended thai the court should appoint
one of the executors temporary admins
traitor as the executors, from their present
knowledge of the estate, were better quail
fed to act than a stranger. Mr. Mcclure
continued: Gas to this contestant, Henry
c. Hilton, the court records of this county
show that he sued HIS father. and in the
suit charged him with the grossest impro-
prieties. His father filed an answer in
which he was forced TO charge his son
with life Of vice and immortality. These
charges were not made in letters, but in
solemn records"
Mr.. Dos Passes retorted that Mr.. Nc
Clure should not have gone beyond the
limits of the motion to attack his client.
Since you have seen fit TO attack the
character of my client" said Mr.. Dos
| Passos, Il may be excused if make a few
| remarks in regard to the testator If my
client has been guilty Of the acts charged
against him by Mr. Mcclure I desire to
say that Judge Hilton, who died last sum
mer, left no very savory reputation him
self. He died when the litigation over the
vast Stewart estate had hardly been con-
cluded and great many people here in
! New York do not believe that he got this
| Stewart property honestly. 1t is claimed

NElNn Lllt view attlA SUM-
\ notable instance Of an author storm
ing angrily against his critics is that OF
Mr. Israel ZangwtII who has put upon the
stage a play called The Children Of the
Ghetto. The case is worthy OF some at
tentiOn.
Having given grave offence to all Jews
by the manner in which he has treated
the name of the Messiah and several Of
the sacred rites OF the Jewish religion i'm
his play Mr. Zangwiu now strives 70
Justify himself by the following extra
ordinary statement; "a man Of intelligence
ought TO know" he writes in answer 10
the charge that he has made cOmical allu-
sjOns TO the Messiah the Passover. and the
PaschaI lamb. that these words IN q Jewish
play have none OF the associations with
which Christianity has invested them To
Jewish thought the expected Messiah is
merely a man. the Paschal lamb merely a
ritual offering of the Passover
According 10 Mr.. Zaugwill therefore.
there is no reason why a devOut Jews
feelings should be outraged by that sCeEe
in his third act where MeIch.sedek Phineas.
a low comedy Jew. makes deliberate bid
for laughter from the gallery with the
remark: The Messiah Pshaw. let me be
your Messiah. Look at nv initials they re
all right-M. P-Messiah, Palestine And
again a few moments laJer the same char
acter cracks joke on the Paschal lamb
bv referring 10 il as The PaSchal pig
Having thus parodied the Paschal lamb
and the Messiah for his comedy effects.
naturally Mr. Zangwill does not hesitate
to employ the most sacred OF the Jewish
burial rites to enhance the most serious
scenes in his play. The old rabbi is made
to appear in the shrOud IN which he tele-
brates the Feast OF the Sedar.
Suppose that a Roman Catholic or Prot
estant had dared 10 stage the rites OF the
Holy Communion or cracked Jokes on the
name of Christ as this Jew has treated The
name of the Messiah The PLAY would not
have lived a night. and the playwright in
all probability. would have had 20 fly to
cover.
And vet here is a Jew who calmly an
nounces that while il Is all very well
fo- Christians to regard some things as
sacred 10 the Jews his own people moth
ing is holy Mr. ZangWill would seem a
good playwright TO be suppressed
