He not only holds these prisoners when
their country is 70 longer at war with him.
but he subjects them to unnecessary hard
ships and privations. Aguinaldo's main
purpose In retaining the Spanish prisoners

in addition to such ransom money as he

by such an action; yet Aguinaldo heart

condition and are dying in great numbers.
Aguinaldos inhumanity in this matter Is
but another proof of his unworthiness to
rule.

There was no Imperialism IN the scene on
Thursday at Topeka. The people realized,
all at once, and were touched by the great
fact that they saw the passing of today
into history They saw the same young
men who had answered to the call to arms,
who had departed in the motley array of
citizen-soldiery, return In war uniforms and
hand to the CT stody of the state the flags
they had borne in battle on another soil.
After the blaze of welcome, the shout and
the acclaim, the soldier would be again the
citizen.
There was no Imperialism in that. 1t
proclaimed the fact that the republic is not
the empire Citizens had departed to be
soldiers and soldiers returned to be citizens
In the faces of the warriors who returned
was no pride of military caste. Nothing in
the scene suggested anything but the
eternal supremacy of the people. The young
men were sent by the people and returned

died he left prosperous business to
his son, who now operates it, and a
fcrtune to his family of 100000 francs.
The presidents wife was brought
up in a simple way and well trained
in household duties She is a good
cook, but more partial to the garlic
spiced dishes of the meridional than
to the Paris CONNECTIONS. She is stout
and gray-haired, dresses richly, but
makes no attempt to follow the ia
shions. She is courteous and moth
eYly.
In 1870 Loubet became mayor of
Montelimar and in 1876 was elected to
the chamber of deputies. Then his
Paris life began. His wife was of a
retiring disposition and they made no
display. Later, however, when she
was called to preside over her hus-
bands official household in his re-
spectiye positions of cabinet minister
end president of the senate she sur
2:ised every one by her dignity and
tact.
The president has three children,
one of them, daughter, married to
M. Soubeyran de Saint-Prix, a judge
at Marseilles. Nine. Saint-Prix will
assist her mother in her new social
duties at the Elysee.
The president is worth not more
than $4,000. He is short in stature
and has ROUND, plump figure. He
is intensely devoted to his family and
derives his chief recreation from
books and music. Among public men
he is regarded as safe but not bril-
liant His honesty, however, is I'M
questioned and his private life is
above reproach

THE MAYOR WE NEED.

An upright, godly. temperance man,
As soon as he takes hold,
The vile saloons he'll shut and ban
No drink for love or gold!
He'll be rounder blithe and tough.
VIII gamble, booze and fight;
The dives where bands of music play
VIII yawn both day and night.
No poolroom sharks shall tempt to vice
No game of chance be played;
He'll Danish craps and cards and dice
And even bar "old maid"
The gambling houses all will run
Protected, open wide,
And money circulate and bring
Him Doodle on the side,
The city hall will ope with prayer;
All clerks who'd hold down seats
Must letters from their pastors bear
And show pew rent receipts.
Then fat shall be the civic jobs,
viii cheer their genial souls,
The suffers of the ballot box,
The sluggers at the polls.
Convinced that victors own the spoil,
With judgment sound and broad,
To kill it he will stoutly toll
The civic service fraud.
Except through merit system strict
Shall none employment seek,
AND scrubwomen must take at least
One hundred marks in Greek.
The street car companies will meet
In him no patron kind;
He'll make them flee each stolen stree
And leave no tracks behind.
The tool of corporations vile,
A shameless, bad bribee,
He'll sell the boulevards and tell
The public go be d
And SO, with grace to do what's right
And guile to do what's wrong,
All men of virtue he'll delight
And please the sinful throng.
AS blacklist sinner, whitest saint,
His equal won't be met
And that's the kind of mayor we need
And that's the kind We'll get!

A LINCOLN IN LOUBET.
He Was Born on Farm and Married
A Tramp's Daughter.

The people of France have taken

rffey have done what the American
people did when they elected Lincoln.
Real France has spoken, the France
whose bone and snew are made up of
the mass of plain people-the people
who have made France great, just as
the plain farmers made America great
Emile Loubet exhibits today in his
timid and awkward manner the traits
of his early training. The French peo-
pie don't mind that. they know that
he has those other characteristics of
the common people-honesty and in
dustry.
The American people didn't long
criticize Lincoln because he was born
poor or because he remained awk-
ward.
1t is the same with the French peo-
pie and Loubet, and it is a sign full
of promise for France.
Loubet was born in 1888 on a little
farm mt Marsanne, about two miles
from Montelimar. 1t is the typical
farm OF the south of France. It has
two buildings forming right angle.
The stables and barns are on the
ground floors, and above them the
living apartments.
The pigs, sheep. cows and hens hud-
die about in the roomy court yard.
The presidents mother, eighty
six years old, still manages the farm.
She has never been to Paris. Her
sons advancement has not altered |
her IN any respect. She wears the
garb of the peasant, as her people had
done before her-the homespun gown,

INDIAN PICTURES OF CLUSTERS
MASSACRE.

In Ainslees Magazine is a very in
teresting account of some recently dis
covered picture writing by an Indian
who took part in the celebrated Custer
massacre. The pictures are noticeable
for being the work of a Sioux CHIEF
who was prominent actor in the con-
fiict. The original pictures measured
very nearly two feet at each dimen-
sion. The first of the two represents
the Sioux in their contest with Custer
and his men. The PROSTATE forms of
white men are scattered across the
base of the drawing. In the right up
per corner a soldier is seen falling
from his horse to the ground. Di-
rectly underneath the characteristic
fighting posture of the Indian on
horseback is depicted. Notable fea-
lures in the picture are the bugles
which are seen toward the left lower
corner. Only a mind of comprehen-
sive power could recall such petty de-
tails in scene of such excitement ami
carnage. The other illustration pic
lures the dead Sioux after the battle
The differentiation of the figures in
their apparel and adornment is not
without significance. 1t is to be sup
posed that by this means an intelligent
Sioux could fix the identity of the
slain. The weapons are placed just
beyond the grasp of the several fig
ures. 1t is not an inadequate express
sion of the powerlessness of the dead.

NOVELTIES AND VAGARIES
Some New and Attractive rrinkets
for Milady Of Fashion.

The English fashion of wearing the
hair is the mode of the hour in Paris
This demands a coil low in the nape
of the neck, with a few ringlets and a
cluster of flowers, and is becoming
only to women with perfectly shaped
heads and slender necks. In America
fashionable women are wearing the
couture lower than for some time.
The pompadour effect is retained, but
the waves of hair are less pronounced
than formerly, although it is still
pulled prettily about the ears, fore
head and nape. The coil is arranged
to show beneath the crown of the ha,
The brooch pin is used by many
maids to fasten up the stray locks at
the back of the head. This pin is
usually plain gold affair, not ornate
in design, though an occasional wo-
man is seen whose tresses are ned by
diamond or ruby studded affair,
deliberately carved. The hair, by the
way, is arranged for the street to suit
individual taste, but by night the rule
seems to be steadily in favor of lofty
couture. Many smart women carry
all their hair up in small, tall knot
forward of the crown. This pushes
a light pompadour over the brow. To
the small tall knot is fastened a huge
bow of black velvet ribbon that is
not wrinkled and through the hair the
knot is passed and crossed by two
long-pronged pins; jeweled hat pins
will do. This is pretty mode of
the locks and an easy one
also.
A hint now how to make satin shoes
last-stripe them across with narrow
ribbon of the same color. This pre-
vents the shoes wearing out at the
sides, and the ribbon can be renewed
when it begins to wear out at the
sides. Ballet girls often resort to
this plan to make their shoes last,
otherwise they would use a fresh
pair almost every night The ribbons
must be narrow, of course, and must
match the shoes in every respect
House shoes may have a little strass
ornament in front, instead of a bow,
although little bow is more coquet-
fish.

LEO'S DOCTOR.

The house-doctors to the pope do not
live in the vatican--is no longer his
own, but public property, for there Is
continual coming and going of pre-
lates, messengers from all kinds of
personages, and journalists. How
ever, the worst hoSfs are those Of the
night. The doctor, to be sure of
hearing any call from the vatican, has
the telephone at the head Of his bed,
and when sinister rumors circulate,
cardinals and diplomats seem to con-
slider it their duty or privilege to ring
him up at all hours of the night. And
that is not all. Besides the incon-
venience, there is also considerable
expense, as many kilograms requir-
ing answers arrive for him, a great
portion of which he cannot ignore,
because of the station of the senders.

SOME NEW YORK FASHIONS.

The various spring openings held at
present are most attractive, but just a
tritle bewildering in the quantities of
different gowns that are displayed.
There is no one particular style OF
gown exhibited, but there are street
gowns, house gowns, evening gowns,
and gowns for every known and many
unknown occasions-each and all of
which are fascinating in texture, color
and design. Undoubtedly the fashions
for the spring anu summer of 1899 are
more allurirg than usual. The fab
RIGS that are used are so many anS.
varied that too much monotony is pre-
vented, and although, of course, threy
or four different distinctive colors ar
particularly fashionable, as is Away
the case, there is a wider range tha1
usual, and this makes more variety OF
choice. The new styles as regards the
change in the cut of the skirts is very
marked-too marked altogether TO be.
safe for the generality of people to an
tempt; and, indeed, too much cannot
be said as to the danger of adopting
the present extreme styles without due
consultation as to ones shape and size,
for there is danger of a graceful, al
most artistic, fashion being made a
caricature of by amateur dress-malxing
and poor taste combined. There is no
reason why the present exaggerated
style of skirt should not be modified
to be becoming to everybody, but un-
questionably most of the styles are in
tended for slender people, and conse-
quently are quite unsuitable to stout
or short women. There are more mid
summer gowns, as they appear to be,
modistes than there are of any other
kind except the tailor-made gowns.
The reason for this is, probably, that
people like to get their summer things
out of the way very early In the sea-
son. Judging from what we see ex-
hibited it is to be a great year for
the wearing OF wash materials. last
intense heat seems to be
taken as warning OF what we are To
expect again, and everybody is busy
for the worst. There are a
great many more materials, such as
are worn by people in tropical climates
now being exhibited. There are pine
apple gauzes, muslins of every texture.
Madras suitings, ginghams,
percales and lawns. Many OF them
are so woven that they look like silk.
and are of a color dark enough to
wear in the street even for hard wear.
The piques are to be as fashionable as
ever, and are even lighter in weight
than they were. Pique is material
that has stood the test OF public crit
icism, and is firmly established as a
good material for hard wear. 1t is to
be used in the jacket and skirt cos
tunes that are sold ready made.
Some of the skirts are circular, others
and still others are gored The jack
cts are all short, on the blazer style,
and are to be worn openrto show the
shirtwaist or false front. The jacket
finished all around in scallops. wild,
scalloped revers, is very smart.
There are, too, the fly-front coats that
were seen last year, and also the cut
lways. The dark piques are trimmed
with bands Of the same material, or
with wh.,e duck or linen; sometimes
with black duck or black linen. The.
,martest are trimmed with the same
'olor as the costume. --Harper's Bazaar.
