delicate matter for these newspapers to
 take up directly hostile attitude to the | Boer republics With consummate art. | therefore, they steer middle course, and while sympathizing on the lines of cousinship and kindred interests with Great Britain they put the opinions of
 these enemies of the empire fairly and squarely before their readers.
 These Boer publicists naturally lose no opportunity of endeavoring to shape American public opinion to favorable consideration of their point of view. To this end it is to be feared that state- ments appear which are not wholly con- sonant with the whole truth of the mat ter, and European readers should, there fore, be very chary of accepting any such statements which are not backed by actual proof in chapter and verse.
 According to a recent cablegram, Miss Olive Schreiner is leaving South Africa on long visit to England. This seems a quaint corollary to her recent contributions to the press; but 1t is possible that she contemplates an act i've propaganda of her pro-Boer prln- ciples among the half-hearted Little Englanders. On her previous visits to this country she has been cordially re- ceived and made much of. There seems to be no reason whatsoever why this polite reception should not be repeated. No one nowadays with any knowledge of the facts of the case takes Miss Olive Schreiner seriously unless it be Miss Olive Schrelner herself.-The London Daily Mail

AN OHIO NOTION.

At it's next session the Ohio legisla- . ture will consider large and compre- hensive scheme of uniform municipal government. It is the work of Judge David F. Pugh of Columbus and Ed
 ward Kibler of Newark, two prominent
 lawyers appointed by Governor Bush-
 nell under legislative authority All
 municipal or local political corporations
 are divided by this proposed act into
 two classes-those of 5000 or more peo-
 pie to be regarded as cities and all
 other towns as villages. The cities are
 to be governed by a single chamber
 council of salaried men, and by a
 mayor who is given full power of ap- pointment and removal of heads of specified executive departments. Nom- nations to elective office must be made by petition from the people, any ten or more qualified voters being empow- cred to name ticket for the official ballot. Employees of the city are pro- hibited from participating in political caucuses and conventions, and from contributing to an election fund. A comprehensive merit system of appoint ment is provided under a State board of examiners and commissioners. City governments must submit all questions of street franchises and borrowing of money to popular vote and cities are empowered on vote of the people to acquire and operate street railroads, gas and electric light and telephone plants, and to borrow money for this purpose. Full local self-government is assured by the plan
 This is very interesting plan, and if it is adopted it will be interesting to see how it works. But it is not very likely to be adopted in State where there Is as much politics to the square foot as there is in Ohio.

NOT EXCITING,

The meeting last evening of the com mlttee appointed to investigate the supervisor system in the public schools Of New Haven was not exciting. The quorum wasn't shattered, nobody was 'sassed," and even the English lan- guage was fairly we'll treated Super intendent Kendall not being present on account of sickness in his family MT. Fox was unable to ask him the ques- tions he had intended to ask him, and the time was occupied by Attorney Charles H. Fowler who made tenn perate and reasonable defence of some of ''the frills" that have been assailed.
 Next week Wednesday evening, if nothing happens to prevent, MT. Fox will go on with his public-spirited work. It is to be hoped that nothing will hap pen to prevent. The remarkable series of accidents, or incidents, that has al- ready happened seems to be sufficient, and it is about time for a turn in the luck. It would be fine to see at the next meeting all the members of the committee present, all the members of the Board of Education, Superintendent Kendall, MT Fox, and the interested citizens who have been so faithful in their attendance. Couldn't we have one good full and fair meeting without ir- reparably "busting" education?

| Along the same lines, but less elabor- ate, is drapery like that which topped the bodice of the pictured dinner gown. It was a draped white silk scarf, held in rosette from which a frnged end dropped. Fringe was the trimming that dominated in the skirt, where was a deep band of it in white silk. The dress goods was corn colored corded silk fig ured with scarlet flowers the underekirt showing embroidery in scarlet silk floss A scarlet velvet belt had the almost in- evitable downward dip in front. RicI as this gown was in all particulars, it's most extravagant feature by all odds was it's. fringe. Such trimming is ex- ceedingly perishable, catching dust dreadfully and showing defilement promptly. Little can be said in favor of fringe trimmings, anyhow, by those who have an eye to economize, for the colored sorts won't last long and one can't effect saving by purchasing cheap sort.
 A loose chiffon or liberty scarf is much admired when it is whipped out by the wind from the shoulder. Such scarfs come for wear with dancing frocks, and in the swirl of the dance the scarf is sure to circle prettily after the fashion of Dianas. Scarfs of lace are tied in two or three successive bow knots making a pretty decoration for the front of the dressy bodice

by suitable subsidies of the creation of
 an American merchant marine. Con- cerning Cuba he says: "The New Cuba
 must be bound to Us by ties of signal
 intimacy and strength, if it's enduring | welfare is to be assured, whether those | ties be organic or conventional The destinies of Cuba in some rightful form and manner, are irrevocably linked with
 our own-how and how far is for the future to determine in the rightness of events" The chapter on the Philip pines is by far the longest in the mes sage. The President defends acquisi- ton and title by treaty. He maintains our purpose to be the advancement of our own interests and those of the Phil ippines. He demonstrates that the work of our arms and of our commission was one of peace and friendship. He shows that no promise of independence or of autonomy was ever made to the Filipi- nos. He fastens the responsibility for war upon the insurgents. He shows that they at no time have numbered either majority or a plurality of the people. Nor has even rebellion interfer- ed with the progress of reconstruction generally throughout the archipelago. That work of reconstruction, internal government and paclfication under the war power is traced. The substantial overthrow of the instruction is an- nounced On Congress will be the duty to devise a plan for the future govern ment of the Philippines. "As long as the insurrection continues the military arm must be supreme" But the Pres ident believes that the eventual govern ment should be built up from the bot tom and in localities rather than or ganized from a central basis at Ma nila.

The Presidents message isn't any longer than it was expected to be, but there is more in it than most people ex- pected there would be. He says "Gold' plainly. He deals with the trust ques- tion vigorously and doesn't leave much that is sensible for Bryan and his fol- lowers to say about trusts.

JVA NTS 4 WIFE WHO CAN TALK.

James Welsh of Coolbaugh, Pennsyl- vania, is lonesome, and he thinks his lonesomeness will be alleviated if he gets wife So he has advertised for one. He has received more than a thousand answers by letter and many lovely and efficient beings who are per suaded that they could make him less lonesome have called upon him to show him how much and how pleasant com pany they could be for him. As he has not yet made his choice there is still chance to win him. He seems to be as being tall, straight, vigorous, only three score years of age and the pos sessor of heart that Is still young. When asked why he wanted wife he said; There is no fun sitting alone these long winter days. I rise with the lark and go to bed with the chickens. Few come in and talk to me, because they like to remain in their own homes after the work is done, and I don't blame them. It is too far to walk to Mount Pocono or Tobyhanna to pass away the evening, so thought what a nice thing it would be to have wife to talk to me,
 MT. Welsh will in all proba biity sue ceed in getting wife who can and will talk to him.

FASHION NOTES.
Becoming Drnpery for Low Bodice,

Becoming Drapery for Low Bodices.
 Fichu draping about the shoulders is feature of evening gowns, as also is hood draping. This last is right off the reel. Folds of velvet, lace or cloth are laid about the shoulders, gathering in front into buckle or knot, and at the back widening and dipping loosely in the suggestion of a Marie Antoinette hood. Sometimes the hood suggestion is but the faintest. Such drapery coming below the round of the shoulder is very becoming. Now and then the hood is pronounced and hangs in grace full folds at the back, becoming part of the bodice decoration there. Now and then this hood drapery is set at the edge of the yoke line, but more often it is an accompaniment of a cut-out.

Oklahoma, which claims a population of 100000, and an assessed valuation of $4O,0O0OOO, desires to become a State, and its aspiring politicians are very much in favor of enlarging their op- portunities. The territory is as large as Ohio, and there are to-day seven States that have smaller population. Its number of citizens is enough to entitle it to two representatives, Schools abound, and there is even a university. The industry is agricultur- al, corn, wheat and cotton being the staple crops.
