Baroness Hirsch had lefK a will making
requests of 500, 900 to various charities

not to be opened until May l. There are
reasons. however, for thinking that in
the main the schedules published in the
dispatches were substantially correct. and
that the charities will receive nearly all
of the immense fortune of the Hirsches.

The United States has some pecuni-
airy burdens to bear as part of its
duty as a member Of the family of ma
tons. 1t contributes one hundred dol
lars yearly to the expense of keeping
up at Brussels what is known as the
international Bureau for the Repres-
sion Of the African Slave Trade" Our
Government is also member of the
International Geodetic Associate and
pays annually fifteen hundred dollars
toward measurements to determine the
size of the earth. There is an interna-
tional bureau of weights and measures,
with headquarters at Brussels, to
which the Government pays 1920,
and similar bureau there for the pub
lication Of customs tariffs, toward
which 1t pays about half as much. 1t
also costs the United States quite a
sum to provide prisons for American
convicts In Asiatic countries where the
local judicial tribunals are not trusted.
Lighthouses were needed ON the coast
of Morocco which that government
would not provide. The great CONNER

their own expense. The share of this
country in maintaining them is abou,

The second of these gowns shows that
this method of employing lace is not to
count toward the undoing of the sheath
fit at the hips. Especial emphasis is be-
Ing given to this part Of the figure by ar
rangements of fat trimming, or by over
laying with lace about hips and back.
Another trick by which the round of the
waist and the perfection of hip and back
curves is shown is made clear in this
model. A bodice Of white cloth fitted
well over the hips, where its scrolled edge
was Joined by the skirt Of very dark
green cloth. A closely fitted over bodice
rounding just to the hips and showing
back and in a deep rounded yoke, was Of
cloth to match the skirt. 1t was edged
with bands Of white cloth corresponding
to bands set at the top and hem of the
skirt and at the edge of the hem. The
white cloth of the under-bodice was over
laid with brown Breton lace. This lace
is in great favor for trimming cloth and
is much like Irish crochet lace. 1t is to
be had in white, yellow or gray, and in
some cases is dyed to match the cloth
with which 1t is used.
Fashionable mothers insist that their

ohio's German Vote,

Aside from the fact that Hanna's
boss rule in Ohio has become extreme
ly quilting to the voters, there is another
cause which gives promise of Demo-
cratic success in the campaign for
Governor. This element of Democratic
strength lies In the German vote. AS
a mere matter of statistics 1t Is i'm
portant to recognize that the German
vote in Ohio is an aggregate of about
10000, and the party that controls It
of course holds the winning hand, for
the normal Republican majority is less
than 10000, and even under SPECIAL i'm
pulse, like Presidential campaign,
does not exceed $1,000.
Discussing the present attitude of
these voters, a leading German Repub-
lican Of Cincinnati syas: "In this
county there are 5000 to 10000 anti
imperialists who have ordinarily voted
the Republican ticket. If throughout
the State something like this ratio
exists, and If not more than half of
them vote their honest sentiments, 1t
needs no prophet to foretell the largest
majority for the Democratic ticket that
any ticket ever secured in the Buckeye
State"
In explaining why this vote may be
turned largely in favor of Democracy
the well-known opposition of the Ger
mans was quoted. I'VE are able to de-
termine what Hanna will do If imperi-
alism triumphs," said the Republican
politician in his Interview. Eve can
Judge of this by the sentiments, wholly
um-American, which he has expressed
since his return from Europe. He
means imperialism on large scale, IL
he means anything, and certainly he is
an imperial figure in politics. This
sort OF thing is repugnant to the Ger
man voter, and consequently look for
bolt from the Republican ranks
Should the Democracy secure VIC
tory in Ohio this fall 1t will prove a
severe blow to the administration and
will give bright promise of Democratic
national success in 1900.

What Victory Means.

There is nothing like being prepared
for the worst, and those Republican
statesmen who are consoling them
selves with the reflection that even il
their party is beaten in the elections of
this year the chances of success a year
hence are not diminished are evidently
training themselves to look ON the dark
side, and to extract as much consola-
ton from it as is possible. Discounting
defeat in this way is not unknown to
shrewd politicians, and 1t is doubtless
more satisfactory than letting ones ex-
pectations mount to the highest rung
of the ladder only to have them ruth
lessly dashed to the ground.
Among those who anticipate Repub-
lican defeat this year, and who want to
find soft spot for their party to fall
on when 1t does come, is United States
Senator Burrows from Michigan, who,
in an article over his own signature,
argues that the successful party in the
year before the Presidential election
should not be too much elated or to
hope that it will win twelvemonth lat
ei. vi COURSE, uc ignores our recent
political history, and goes back to the
Civil war period to strengthen his posi-
ton.
1t Jig certain that In the years imme-
diately preceding the last two Presi-
dental elections-to go no further back
the party which succeeded then also
succeeded in the great contest that fol-
lowed. The Democrats swept the coun-
try in 1891 to almost as great an extent
as they did in 1892, when they chose
Cleveland for second term. The Re-
publicans were almost as irresistible In
1895 as they We're in 1896, when Nc
Kinley was their standard bearer.
If the Democrats win this year-Sen-
ator Burrows and other Republicans
evidently expect them to do so-they
are quite certain to win next year. The
proper thing to do, therefore, is to work
hard for success now, for the voter
who goes to the polls in an "off" year Is
sure to do SO in Presidential year

An Eastern jury recently awarded
a boy 10 years old S., 900 for the loss Of

prospects for marrying well-for be-
coming good wife, good housekeep-
er and good mother-are what she is

piness in this world. Deprived of
these, she has little left to dream Of

one arm. Neither can one armed wo-
man get position on which she can

enough to be regarded as marketable.

Consistency is not characteristic Of

his family relations, gifted with ge-

political policy and trims his sails to

Especially inconsistent has been Nc

establishing the single gold standard,
yet half a dozen years ago he was
pronounced bimetallist.
Now Mckinley speaks of the .'more

out that during this period of what the
republicans now call harmful agita-

Independent bimetallism at the ratio Of
16 to i; that republican platforms in
dorsed it and condemned Grover Cleve-
land for opposing it; that even in 1896
the whole republican party declared
against the gold standard, and pledged
itself to beg Europe to help this coun-
try to let 60 of it" and that an eXpen-
sive commission was sent by Mckinley
to Europe to try to get rio of the gold
standard.
When President Hayes sent in his
veto of the Bland silver coinage bill
providing for turning out silver dollars
to the extent of $5,OOO,0O0 month and
making them legal tender for all debts,
public and private, William Mckinley
voted to override that veto.
