EVERYBODY WILL BE REVERSED
Mrs 5 uyvesant Fish is known as an
"original entertainer" This reputa-
lion was achieved by confronting her
guests at one time or another with
donkeys, cowboys, acrobats and scenes
from the dairy, the barn yard and the
country fair Once she gave minstrel
show in her own irreproachable draw
ing room. She has now prepared a
Looking Backward" dance for to-
night in New York. Each invitation
has suggested that her gues' appear in
fancy costume and that that costume
be reversed"
Garments that properly should be
fastened in front are to be made to
meet in the back. Masks are to be
worn on the back Of the head, and the
faculty OF walking backward is to be
cultivated.
To achieve contradictions in costume
some of the men will adopt feminine
roles. Harry Lehr, for instance, has
chosen a wonderfully ornate costume
and is to appear as "Queen of the Car
niyal.n

The NEWLY conquered provinces
were seized and held for the good Of the
people thereof and that they might en-
10y the delights Of home rule and realize
the benz fits ofliberty and independence
This is what the imperialist newspa
pers say, and it sounds mighty nice
But the truth is, the natives OF those
provinces now have a great deal less
home rule ard infinitely fewer of the
legitimate benefits of liberty aud inde-
pendence than they had under Spanish
government, and are governed rot
only by aliens but by people of q diff
ferent religion-naturally the most OBJ
jechonable kind OF rulers. Why, every
body VINO now wants any sort OF Il
franchise or privilege in those prov
iuces must seek it OF U. 5. officials, and
that TOO, not in the provinces, but in
Washington, and OF what is called CO.
lonial board, body not recognized by
the Constitution. But in peace as well
as in war, there are no laws to ex-
pansionists, or rather imperialists, who,
of course, are revolutionists

A FORTUNE IN Her BELT.-Mrs
Johanna OFT, for many years living in
apparent poverty in small room. in
Philadelphia, was taken to the Pres
byterian Hospital On Friday, and when
she was addressed by nurse belt
containing 81, 800 in gold and notes was
found tied about her body. The wo-
man is 60 years old, and by her neigh
bors aDd relatives she was thought to
De very poor. How she came into the
possession OF so large a sum is mys-
terry. On Friday afternoon her dress
was set On fire by coming in contact
with a red not stove. Her screams
brought her son-in-]aw, Nicholas Nal
ley, VINO lives in the house, to her as
sistance. and the fire was extinguished,
but not till the woman had been severely
burned The police took her to the
hospital and there the discovery of the
hidden treasure was made. She will
probably recover.

The CAPITAL Is TAXABLE.-The de-
cision rendered by the Virginia Court
of Appeals last week in the Montgom
cry county case. wherein it is held that
the Commissioner of the Revenue had
no right to assess the invested capital
of q merchant for taxes, has attracted
very general interest through the State.
The decision is an important one, Is
pacially to the counties, but does not
affect the business men of Richmond,
or, perhaps, those OF the other Virginia
cities.
The ground upon which the appellate
court sustained the claim of Tallant, the
appellee, that such taxation was illegal,
in view of his having paid his license
tax as merchant, was that the Legis-
lature had not empowered the county
OF Montgomery, through its Board OF
Supervisors to impose this tax. With
the city OF Richmond il is entirely diff
ferent. The charter not only gives au-
thority for taxing the capital invested
in business, aside from the license tax,
but declares that it shall be taxed as
any other property.
Therefore, the decision will not bring
relief to our merchants. And in all
likelihood the charters OF the other
Virginia cities contain similar provi'
sions. The counties, however, have
not had this au hority given TO them

TO SAVE ODD FELLOWS TEMPLE.

TO SAVE ODD FELLOWS TEMPLE.
The danger of sale for debt, which
has hung over the Odd Fellows splen-
did temple in Philadelphia has been
averted by a new plan that has been
unanimously adopted by the Grand
Lodge committee appointed for that
purpose some months ago.
The committee proposes that the Odd
Fellows Hall Association is to raise on
bond and mortgages the sum of $500, 600
at rate of interest not exceeding 44
per cent. per annum, and TO secure the
payment of the same on the Temple
Building alone The proceeds of this
mortgage are to be applied in payment
of the present ground rent, mechanics
lien, taxes and other current and float
ing Indebtedness. The balance, if any,
is to be paid to trustees, to be used by
them in the redemption of bonds.
In order to carry out this plan the
association is to Convey to five wealthy
trustees, to be appointed in the first in
stance by majority of the board of
directors of the Hall Association,
Grand Lodge officers aud committee of
the Grand Lodge, the Temple property
and allis furniture and sppurtenances.
The directors of the Hail Association
have bean requested to procure the as
sent OF the bondholders and all other
interested parties to the plan as agreed
! upon.

Payment of the Cuban Army.

Havana, Jan. 31.-Senor Fredrico
Mora, the civil governor of Havana, in
an interview declared that the question
of the payment of the Cuban amy was
of much greater Importance than the
Washington government seems to real
ize. He said of the Cubans were to
collect the customs of the islands,
which are their property, their first ac-
-tion would be to meet Cuba's sacred
obligation to the army by payment in
full to the soldiers. The customs ad-
ministration being in the hands of the
Americans, the Cubans make a simple
business proposition. to the United
States government that it shall ad-
vance money to pay the troops, hold
ing the customs as security.
