Surely, a fine time II one we're a Milton,

Boston, the Club" The niche Of eK-
oa1,ivo culture, has had an a Ia Goebel
convention. Aguinaldo should have
been summoned 10 add more eclat. II I
remember right he had an applause
there at q certain meeting.

Dr. L N. Bloom, Of Louisville, has just
returned from Brussels where he went
81 chairman Of the American delegation
60 the International Medical Conference.
Dr. Bloom was in Paris, which is ex
pocting fully 6O,OOO,OOO visitors to the
Worlds fair. He advises every one who
expects 10 20 TO carefully compute the
cost Of their trip and then take about
four times as much money as they think
they will need.

Beau Brummel, we remember, lifted
his hat With a flourish to only titled and
illustrious nobodies. William Penn, we
would imagine, was born with a chapeau
on and never uncovered even TO King
George. We have more "Williams" at
this age than "Beau Brummels," Sure
for certain, after pass a sO-Called gem
tleman once and he fails to raise his hat
/ never 20 out of my way again to rocog-
nize him. How we'll it shows home
training to see a little boy tip his hat.

The Colonies did some good work last
week. Olarkes men are putting up as
good q game of ball as is now being
played in the League, and we don't ex-
cept even the Brooklyns. Blessings
always brighten as they take their fight.
The Louisville patrons Of the game would
like for the team to return, but President
Dreyfuss says the team can do much bet
ter in other cities for the rest of the
season 80 the fans are disappointed.

There is general sorrow over the death
Of Mrs. Senator J. @. S. Blackburn who
was well known and greatly beloved by
large circle of friends. The Senator,
just at this era, has my profound SYM
pathY, for he fully appreciated his wife
and his domestic life has been a happy
one Senator Blackburn has his faults,
has made mistakes, but he comes of a
noble, proud family, is intellectual and
over and above all else, he wore the
gray. Silver or no silver, succeed
Lindsay or not succeed him, he is a
typical Southern gentleman.

Dreyfus is free "SbOut the glad
tdings, exultinRly singh An innocent
man was convicted, and no matter how
loyal one might be to the old Republic,
a French subject should not be hasty'
A dramatic turn came in the drama and
while all Rennes slept, the famous pris-
oner departed. How my heart goes out
for JOY to Nine. Dreyius. M. Menard,
who gave huTtful information to Dreyfus,
has been dismissed, while Major Hart
man, who gave favorable testimony, has
been promoted. 1 tell you retribution
comes in this old world, swift and sure.

1 have wall from a young aspirant
for literary honors. She says "My poem
was returned with the editors compli-
ments and regrets Well, my dear young
friend, will it console you to know that
Sir Walter SCOTS first literary ventures
were a failure? Dumas shed scalding
tears at the rel Ution Of his
first manuscript Byron, Dickens, or
no other composer or eminent writer
ever sailed on "howery beds Of ease ("
Bret Harte-our very own Bret Harris
the only one on record of whom I've
heard whose manuscripts were all avail
able. Try again.
