F.rthe frs, I'M IN a ioug
Y the Pr+sld4n5 and a ma
r of both FL uses OF Congress
"a 10 accord, n''t only POLITICAL
~, out in regard to the views
VIII b each entertaIns on leading
pubic questions. This being
h case, the country knows ex-
acrly where to place the respun-
sinility. The situation carries
with it an opportunity and a res
ppnsibility-an opportunity to
pu' into complete ef=Ht the Re
publican policies and the respon-
sibiIity for the result of what
ever is done or not done.
During Grants last two years as
President and Hayes admins
traitor, the House of Represent
ta'ives was Democratic, and in
the last two years of the latter
the Senate also. During the
first two years of the Garfield
Arthur term the House was
Republican, but the Senate was
equally divided, while in the
last two the House was Demo-
cratic aud the Senate Repuoli-
can. When Cleveland entered
upon his first term he found a
Republican Senate and q Demo-
cratic House, which condition
obtained throughout his entire
administration.
During the first two years of
Harrison's administration both
Houses were Republican, but
the silver men of that party had
already begun to exhibit the
spirit that later led them to
abandon their organization upon
the adoption of the gold standard
plank in the St. Louis platform,
and in the second half of the
administration the House again
became Democratic.
During the first half of Cleve.
lands second administration
both branches of Congress were
Democrtic, but even then the
differences on the monetary ques-
ton that split the party in 1896
began to make themselves felt,
and the Supreme Court had a ma
jority of Republican members.
In the second half of that adj
ministration the House again be-
came Republican and has remain
ed so up to this time.
During the first half of the
present administration the House
was Republican, but in the Senate
neither party had a majority,
though the Republicans had a
plurality and succeeded by the
help Of protection Democrats in
passing the Dingley tariff bill
through that body.
AS matters stand now, there is
| no excuse for the Republican
party not carrying out it's pied
ges for financial reform and
other wise putting its policies in>
to force. After it has done or
failed to do this the country
will pass judgement. There is
no room for a plea of division of
responsibility. The Republicans
have full sway and it remains to
be seen if they are wise enough
to profit by it. And there are
| the best reasons for believing
that they are. The party pos
sesses one plendid quality which
the Democrats de not-ability TO
act unitedly. This alone insures
positive action.

he entertains Just as they do in Paris,
and he has the courage to carry out the
agreeable manner Of his own country
IN this respect He sends out invita-
lions written in French, and one is al

under his roof. There is an atmOs-

Of delightful SAVIOR faire on the part Of
the host he invites only as many a.

rooms, and is Influenced by other con-
sideratiOns than those Of wealth and

Musicians, htterateurs, and artists are
among his guests. If Nine. Cambon
were only present as hostess at the
Washington embassy there would be no
charm lacking at the ambassadors en-

Of a lovely woman IN middle life adorns

The autograph hunters are particularly keen

a wise sound and the autograph chasers
were perfectly delighted. SO deep' so
thoughtful were the comments they made
as they studied the gibberish after the books
were returned, and / am willing to bet they
are still wrestling with the inner meaning
OF their prizes. The star herself has the

The cover was on the piano. Not a
soul was to be seen inside Of the room.
Inside Of the piano tbs professor found
a water snake four feet long. It made

Lew WuIIace'H Dock for
the Stage.

William Young has been engaged by
Klaw & Granger to dramatic Gen. Lew
Wallace's masterpiece, Ben Hur,"
which is to be produced at New York

to consult with Gen. Wallace as TO the
scenery Of the forthcoming play. Mr..

himself with the technique Of the stage.
In 1851 he wrote ''PendragOn," a drama
founded on the Arthurian legends.
'PendragOn" was produced by law
renee Barrett. In 1883 "The Raiah, -
from his pen, was produced at the Mad

$50 nights. In 1889 he wrote a drama in

HOW he LOST HER
BE Struck Out and She Gave Her
self to the Young Man Who
Didn't Play Ball.

A bright flush overspread the face Of the
young girl IN the pink shirt waist, who sat
IN the grand stand, as the stalwart young
man who had played IN the field II the first
halt Of the inning stepped to the plate, bat
Line 'er out, old mani" "Three-base
hit" Good boyi" Home rum" Hit It
in de nose!" HSwat it good an hardl"
sung out the cranks.
The stalwart young man carelessly lifted
his cap, replaced 1t, grasped his bat with a
hrmer hold, moved 1t in graceful circles over
his shoulder, while the pitcher was doing
the preliminary mysterious juggling with
the ball that marks the high-pTiced player,
and as the leather sphere-It IS the correct
form to call It a leather sphere-came
toward him ike a rife shot he swung his bat.
-Ahi" grOaned the crowd.
He had famed the air
This phrase Is also the correct form
Again the high-priced pitcher Juggled the
ball mysterlOusly, again It came ike rife
shot, again the young man at the plate
swung his bat
And again the crowd groaned:
"Ahl"
The high-priced catcher rolled the ball
carelessly down 10 third, put on his mask,
came close behind the bat, spread his high
priced legs apart, placed his hands on his
knees, leaned forward, and made an i'm
perceptible signal TO the high-priced pitcher.
The vast crowd held Its breath
Which Is also the correct thing TO do at a
critical moment ike this.
Like a shot the ball sped toward the plate.
With a mighty lunge the young athlete
swung his bat third time.
1t smOte only the air.
Another grOan burst from the crowd.
He had not only struck out, but put the
side out.

an IN the pink shirt waist, turning with pale
cheeks and flashing eyes TO the pimply-faced
