ANOTHER lady journalist has entered

ANOTHER lady journalist has entered
the ranks Of the newspaper fraternity.
The lady has the distinction of hear
ing the honored name of Horace
Greedy, her full name being Horace
Greedy Perry. She has assumed the
editorial charge of the Pocatello
Advance, a staunch Democratic paper,
and the Grangeville Free Press thinks,
judging from the copies Of the paper
which have reached it, she shows a
combination of brains and judgment,
which are the essential features or
success in the newspaper business.
With Mrs. Ada Merritt, OF the Salmon
City Recorder, Mrs. Mansfield, on the
Nampa Leader, and the advent of Miss
Perry on the Aduance, the people of
that commonwealth may count on
having their interests honestly looked
after. With woman suffrage in full
swing in the State of Idaho, and lady
journalists in charge of influential
newspapers, the politicians will have
to mind their p's and q's and walk the
straight and narrow path OF political
Iectitude.

paresoric Is Bad for Men.
N. Y. Press.

Down the village street, getting one
foot before the other with a combina-
ton OF q jerk and a drag, came a
shriveled, tremulous figure.
"See him?" villager inquired OF
the summer resident, pointing a
shoulder at the shambling figure.
"That's paregoric tiend. He swal.
lows more paregoric than all the
babies in the village put together.
How'd he get in the way of taking the
stuff? Well, you know, there's some
old women in our town that think
paregoric good for all manner Of
things that's the matter with your in
sides, and when daddy had pains from
eating too much summer stuff his
wife dosed him with paregoric, an
the first thing she knowed he couldn't
get on without it. He's worse'n 3
drunkard now, an you can't get with
in ten feet of him without smellin' the
stuff"

BRYAN MISREPRESENTED.
The Commercial Press Attempts to Put Him
in a False Position.

The New York Herald of the 18th
contains the following dispatch from
Lincoln, Neb, which explains itself:
w. J. Bryan reached home late
Thursday night, tired and hoarse as a
result of his speech-making tour.
When asked whether he really meant
to subordinate silver to other issues
in the coming campaign, he answered
with much warmth, declaring that
an attempt was being made to put
him in a false position. He said:
al am making public speeches
every few days, and in them l discuss
political questions. My language is
not ambiguous, and / make no effort
to hide my attitude on any issue. l
am not ignoring any leading question.
If those who want to know my posi-
ton cared TO read those speeches
there would be 10 necessity for asking
questions"
Without directly saying so Mr..
Bryan made it plain that he had no
intention of sidetracking silver. He
complained that he was continually
being misrepresented by the news
papers.
81 have been through seven States
in the past four weeks" he continued,
"and have made twenty-three speeches.
Everywhere l have been / have found
Democrats unit in reaffirmation OF
the Chicago platform, and l firmly
believe there will be little or no op.
position to it when the next national
Democratic convention meets.
az also found during my journey
that there is noticeable increase in
the opposition of the people to the
policy of the national administration
in the Philippines and a general
quickening of interest in all political
questions.
al have every confidence in the
success of the Democratic party in
1900, for the party is right on all the
great questions at issue, mainly the
money problem, imperialism and
trusts. As to subordinating the silver
question to other issues in the cam
paign, that would be an impossibility.
The people are capable Of considering
more than one subject at once, and
the struggle next year will be one
that will demand more serious con-
sideration than any that has gone be-
fore.
"The country is drifting into dan
gerous waters, and there is need of o
new pilot and new chart. We want
to prevent the United States from be-
coming fastened to an un-American
policy, such as is now being pursued" !"

WHERE LINCOLN DIED.

Under the direction OF Col. Theo.
dore Bingham, superintendent Of
public buildings and grounds, repair
work has been begun on the old house
at Sic Tenth street, Washington City,
where Abraham Lincoln died. This
building is one of the first places
visited by sightseers who 20 to Wash
ington, and comment is invariably
made to the shocking condition into
which the historic house has been
allowed to fall.
Viewed from the outside the house
is dingy, battered looking structure.
1t would attract no attention, except
as the most neglected building ON the
block, were it not for a weather-beaten
plate on which a sentence setting
forth that Lincoln died there can be
made out. Broken shutters, from
which the ancient paint has long been
parting, flap against the windows.
The whole aspect of the place is
uninviting.
Inside the house things are about as
bad. The floors and supporting tim.
bers in the lower part OF the building
are decayed. Plaster has fallen from
the walls. The house has been made
museum of Lincoln relics, but the
moldy, gloomy surrounding take away
from the interest and inspire most
visitors with q fierce longing to get
away from the house as soon as pos
sible and see something more cheerful.
The last Congress appropriated
$3,S33 for the purpose of repairing
the building, and Col. Bingham will
need it all. The floors will be re-
paired, the broken plaster replaced,
the yard in the rear paved with
cement, and the old plumbing torn
out and replaced by modern fixtures.
Galvanized iron window caps will be
placed over the windows, and the
rooms, excepting the one in which the
President died, will DO papered and
painted. Steam heat will be intro.
duced, and the decayed window sills
will be renewed. A new brick addi-
ton is being constructed in the rear
Of the building.

Sunrise Cush and Fortiter In Re.
Tacoma News.


The Washington Post publishes an
article under Tacoma date discrip-
tive of "Sunrise Cush," the successor
in Congress to J. Ham. Lewis. The
article is not signed, but it bears many
well-known aarmarks of "the man
who looks like Lincoln" One OF
the paragraphs says:
"Mr. Cushman is a man six feet in
height, of spare build, and endowed
with that restless energy that is
characteristic of the West. While he
may not have, in so pronounced de.
gree, the suaviter in modo' that dis.
tinguishes Col. Lewis, he possesses the
fortiter in re- which is the keynote
OF success"
1t is gratifying to "Sunrise Cush's"
many Tacoma friends to know that he
possesses the " fortiter in re-" so con.
spicuously absent ip his predecessor.
What Tacoma has always needed is
more fortiter in re-"
1t is to be hoped when "Sunrise
Cush" goes to Seattle as ga mere
citizen" to welcome the returning
troops he will not leave his fortiter
in re" where it will get rained on. II
it should get wet and shrink the King
county boilers who apply to our Con-
gresham for endorsements for Office
would have him perpetually in their
power. He could never shake them
off even il he should try.

Mr.. James Furey residing on West Oak
street, has received from Rev. Father

proportions. The new edi6ce is located

to the unusual quiet prevailing at the

days. we will have the fall trots, at which
time this city will be again crowded with
visitors from all over the country. This
year the Kentucky Horse Breeders Asso-

tons are that this will be the grandest

ately served, so that, perhaps, there is
more fancy than truth in Moore's lines:
" No more to chiefs and ladies bright
The harp of Tara swells."
The last Feis" of Tara was held in
554, according to the -Four Masters. :"
But why it was the last they do not say.
Tradition has it that the quarrel between
King Diarmuid and St. Ruadhan is re-
sponsible for the cessation of the national
assemblies. The Bishop and his clerks
circled the hill of Tara, ringing their
bells against it. Diarnuid returned curse
for curse, and stood his ground, but
under his successor, as is probable, the
palace was deserted forever. The aboli-
ton of the Feis was blow from which
the monarchy of Ireland never recov-
ered--a blow which, by putting an end to
the periodical conventions of the Irish
race, weakened the prestige of the High
King, increased the power of the pro-
vincial chiefs, segregated the clans from
one another, and proved a new source of
faction and dissension throughout the
land.
One of the most beautiful traditions
connected with Tara is that which de.
scribes St. Patrick preaching in the
palace on Easter Sunday of 433 before
the King and his mobiles and discon-
certing the Magi or fire worshippers.

NEARLY ALL The SPACE NOW TAKEN

Everything is booming at the office of
the Carnival Committee, and one of the
grandest shows ever given in the city of
Louisville will be inaugurated on October

carnival of this sort has ever been so
complete. The Advisory Board, consist

A street fair is something new to the
people of the city of Louisville. To those
people who have never seen a street fair
it is almost impossible to form an idea of
it. The grand entrance and the only en-
trance to the grounds will be at FLOYD
and Broadway. The space from Floyd
and Broadway to Floyd and Breckenridge,
then to Brook street, will be consumed
with industrial exhibits, interspersed
here and there with novel attraction of

will be the fair nursey, will in itself be a
very attractive display. On the lot con-
tiguous to Brook and Breckenridge will
he the Midway show, with its Streets of
Cairo, Persian theater, Hagenback animal
show, Mexican and Porto Rican theaters,
Japanese theater and German village.
The German village will be run under
the direction of the Elks themselves. A
vaudeville show will be in operation in
the village afternoon and evening, in
which will appear the famous Tyrolean
quintet and other artists.
