There were three sisters who lisped
very badly, and their mother, who was
solioitous about finding husbands for
them, was continually admonishing
them to hold their tongues. This il

"Now, mind, girls, " said the anxious
mother. "some nice young men are go
ing to be there, and you must not say q
word, or they will learn that you lisp
and won't care to make up to you"
They promised to be silent and went

house, they sat down and quilted dill
gently in silence, and nothing could in.

sors and tried to make signs to her next
sister to pass them to her, but could not
attract her attention. Losing patience,
she stammered out:
''Thither, path me the thithorth."
The other replied with Indignation:

The Care of Confederate Graves.

The resolution proposed by General Stephen D. Lee at the recent reunion in Charleston would have been an acceptance of the proposition to transfer the care of all confederate graves to the general gov ernment It encountered the opposition that springs from very natural and par donabIe pride. and the following substitute was adopted:
 The United Confederate Veterans in an- nual reunion assembled desire to place up- on record their sincere appreciation of the utterances of the president of the United States in Atlanta in December last con- eerntng the assumption of the care of the graves of our confederate dead by the national government. We appreciate every kindly sentiment expressed and we shall welcome any legislation which shall re- suit in the care of the graves of our com- rades in the northern states by our gov ernment. In regard to our dead whose re- mains are resting in the states which were represented in the confederaey and Mary Iand the care of their final resting place is sacred trust, dead to the hearts of southern women, and we believe we can safely let it remain there.
 Perhaps a wiser or more comforting so- lution could not have been found. All graves of the men who fought for the con federacy will be marked and tenderly cared for in the present time It is just a ques- tion whether, looking to the long future, it would not have been better to have per- mitted men like Stephen D. Lee, acting for the general government, to care for the graves of southern soldiers. The south it. self, paying at least a full share through the custom houses of federal taxation would in truth and in fact thus be taking care of the graves of it's own heroes. This, too, is the country of all, and it is impos- sible to believe that the federal govern ment would have placed the southern cemeteries in other hands than those of confederate veterans.
 But the question has been happily set tied for the time being. If a change be desrable-lf all alike, whether they wore the gray or the blue, should be honored by the general government then the Confederate Veterans, or the Sons of Con- federate Veterans can be trusted to make the change. The present plan IS honorable and praiseworthy, and the graves of those who died in the north will doubtless be looked after with all the care and tender ness that the new feeling of fraternity can dictate. The soldiers of both sections, who fell in the war with Spain, lie now in com- mon cemeteries, and this means that the time has come to recognize all brave men as a common heritage.

THE soUrH's HARD TIMES

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 Judge Robert Powell made a speech in Vicksburg last week, in the course of which he discussed the poverty of the south," and exclaimed it in a way which though not altogether original is both true and always effective He said:
 '"fhe reason of our poverty is not hard to find. Take our average citizen. He gets up in the morning, pulls on pair of socks from Lynn, Mass. puts on a pair of shoes, from Boston, suit of clothes from Phila- delphia goes in to his breakfast, draws up a chair made in Chicago, and eats from a table which came from Cincinnati; sweet ems his coffee from Rio with sugar from Louisiana; takes a slice of ham cured in St. Louis, and buffers biscuit of Mlnne- sota flour with oleomargarine which came from the Lord knows where; he eats South Carolina or Louisiana rice, and even the very grits upon his table were ground in some northern mill he goes to his stable on mule from Kentucky; hitches it to a wagon from Illinois, and drives over to his neighbors and complains of hard times. Of course times are hard when everything peo- pie eat drink, wear and drive came from somewhere else, and only the atmosphere which he breathes is a home institution"
 All of this applies with almost as much force to the case of the people of South Carolina as to the case of the people of Mississippi.

The Hague is a Great Opportunity,

The unique conference summoned by the Bear is to be convened at The Hague-long since become peaceful and harmless-on Thursday next; but it will not be at the outset a conference free from difficulties. Russia wants the pope to have represen. tation in it. but if he be represented Italy will not be. Bulgaria is to be represented under conditions imposed by Turkey. Hol- land itself wants the Transyaal to come in, but Great Britain objects. because Dom Paul, though a Hollander, is not the head of an independent state. The Orange Free State, also Dutch in origin, will be rep- resented. There are other difficulties also difficulties pertaining to the voting power of big and little states, difficulties relating to the secrecy of the proceedings of the con- ference, and the like, and although all at the outset will not be so peaceful as some may think.
 Just what will be accomplished cannot be foreseen. It is known that the German and French delegates are alike opposed to disarmament, and some of the delegates are opposed to the proposition that arms to put limit upon mans inventive powers as applied to weapons and means of destrucs ton Some of the delegates believe the more expensive war becomes, the fewer wars there will be. The only certain thing is, there will be much disagreement In the conference.
 What tho instructions to the United States commissioners are is not known It is known that Captain Mahan does not think that private property on the high seas should be exempt from capture in war. He believes the present plan short- ems wars, first lcssening their number. The United States will undoubtedly stand for the principle of arbitration. Courts of ar Duration will settle some controversies. not all. Between arbitration and the increas- ing responsiveness of>war. it is more than probable that wars tould hereafter be

- - HAPPY MARY ANDERSON
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 The World has a beautiful interview with Mary Anderson, which shows the former queen of our stage to be that very rare thing-an actress retired at the height of her fame and powers who is happy in domestic obscurity
 Mrs. de Navarro lives in an old house at Broadway, England, within driving dis tance of Anne Hathaway's cottage, with her husband, her boy, her roses aud her villages, and she finds something in the life more satisfying than the applause of the multitude which she might command again at moments noii ice, for she Is only 40 at the fitness of her beauty and bloom.
 Knowing what the great world holds for her of applause and adulation, listen to this, ye women who imagine that you would stagnate in the country:
 ''I have become unused to the rush of city life. It does not appeal to me as much as a life in the country. which, I think, is wholly to society could never satisfy me- All the little details that lend sweetness and funess to life are taken advantage of in the country. In the city, where events move quickly, the possibilities of little joys are often overlooked. Pleasures like other things, are sought after with rush, and the humble offerings of smaller blessings are apt to be trodden upon.'
 The picture is true enough, but outside it's context who would take the author of it to be courted and feted actress? It shows clearly enough that Mrs. de Ma varro is something greater than a great artist-a good woman. Her head and heart are sound enough to prize her present op- portunities more highly than the rewards of her public career That being so. her countrymen will wish her many years of the happiness which she is sane enough to appreciate, even at the cost of resgning the pleasure of calling her and feeling her to be "Our Mary"

The Alabama Press m Politics.

"Ninety-odd newspapers in the state," says the Demopolis Dispatch, "were against the repeal of the convention act and only five or six for it; still the wish of the governor was carried out. Now We want some mathematical genius to call the press of which we hear so much" The democratic press of the state could not prevent the repeal of the convention act on account of the combine that had been formed to overthrow it. Never before in Alabama have democrats been willing to go into partnership with republicans and populists in order to undo their own acts. The case is strictly exceptional and promises to remain so in the political h.s- tory of the state.
 The county papers stand exactly where passed. They supported it then and they support it now. They believed then that the state should be lifted out of ballot box demoralization by constitutional revision, and they still believe so. Their consis tency and their devotion to Alabama's well fare is a credit to them and to all journal ism.
 The Dispatch will find that the press of the state does represent the real desire of the state. Unfounded fears have been utilized to create an unfounded public sem
 
 the intelligence and patriotism of the state demands settlement of the suffrage prob lem that will eliminate ignorance on the one hand and ballot hox stuflpg on the other. White supremacy and honest cleo toral methods will yet be firmly estab- Tshed in Alabama, and the Dispatch need not doubt the result Its contemporaries do not. They see that, like many other deeply important questions, suffrage re- form has encountered a check, but not a defeat What Louisiana, Mississippi, Flor ida and South Carolina have done and North Carolina is preparing to do, Alabama and Georgia must do, and assuredy will do. The press of the state will be foremost in the great movement. The press of the state will continue to stand for electoral purity, party discipline and white supremacy, and the great battle will be won, and then the Dispatch will see that the power of the press has not been overestimated. All victories must be pre- ceeded by a campaign of education, and that is just what is needed in this state, and in such campaign the press of the state must take the laborng oar, and pull the boat Alabama out of the turmoil of troubled combine waters.

THE VOICE OF THE ;sAGpIpEs

I. Edgar Jones in Springfield Republican. A thing all prongs and bell-mouthed open
 tips, Supplied with air from bellows, cracks,
 and lips, Adapted well to rout all carking cares, Converting Scottish air to Scottish airs With something in it's breezy, witehlike
 vail Suggestive of haunting old ghost tale. The eagles scream, the bieat of hillside
 goat, The plaintive call of partridge, grail, or grouse, The fresh breeze whistling by a straw thatched house, The trill of birds in fern-clad rocky dells The low o. mountain kin and sweet sheep bells. Discerning ears may hearken close and hear The huntsman's horn with echoes high and clear, Soft winds across the heather whispering low, Or raging amid crags in blinding snow; The signs of scented summer sweet and warm, The raging of fierce spirits of the storm. And rising high above all softer sounds The bark of fox, the deep-mouthed bay of hounds, The cries of warriors who in claymored
 clan Once fought until the streams in crimson ran The wall of women OCT warriors doom. The elfin songs of night-elves in the gloom
 , The lays of linnet and the joyous trills Of laughing brooks that caper down the
 hills, The hymns iutoned by waves in mountain
 lakes, The croon of mothers when a babe awakes; All these the Scottish pipes have kindly
 kept, Sounds that for ages past have in them
 slept, What wonder that with them hearts
 laughed or wept?

few in number. and the few would be short in duration. There are some who think the lighting of the world is practically com pleted.
 "The Truce of the Bear" has, however, much valuable work cut out, and perhaps some good will come from it. The ezars personal sincerity is generally unaues- tioned, whatever the policy of his beau- cratic government may prove to be. He has wicked partners. Some of his minis F ters are very able and interruptions men. and the big machine may not be controlled by it's amiable young ruler.
 But perhaps the best hope consists in the moral power of an international under standing. Recent history shows that such agreements enforce themselves. Neither the United States nor Spain was a party to the Paris Declaration of 1856 against privateering. yet both respect it. What ever the conference at The Hague solmen- ly sanctions will, it Is believed, be re- spected as a rule by all the world. Some- thing in the interest of humanity and of peace and individuals and of weak govern ments may therefore come out of this opportunity that the czar has afforded What that something will be, no one can tell. Nearly all countries in this happy peaceful time will be represented at The Hague, and more good may be inaugurated there than any one now thinks possible.

 Thus is the only available opportunity that has offered for score of years, or that will likely offer for half as many more, for the state to rid itself of great evil, cast to the winds. Experience has proven the futility of efforts to secure re- lief through amendments, and conditions are no more favorable now than heretofore We can look forward only to contlnua- ton Of the methods practieed in the past and nerve ourselves to endure the rep7oach consequent thereon.

Blast Furnace Production.

Six more stacks were blown in during the month of April, bringing the total number of bituminous and coke furnaces in blast in the country up to 155, having total weekly capacity of 216,5O3 tons. The gain was much smaller than many had expected. The gain in weekly capacity was only twenty tons. The total gain in weekly capacity in all sorts of furnaces was only 4,7S2 tons.
 One additional furnace was blown in during the last month in this state. The number in blast on the first day of May was 10, having a weekly capacity of 20,OS1 tons As there are IS idle furnaces in the state, much greater gains may be expected In the reports covering the present month The IS idle furnaces in this state have a weekly capacity of 1O,Ss5 tons. As prices now are every one of them could be op- erated at a profit, and fully half of them will probably be blown in before mid summer.
 Tho weekly capacity of all furnaces in operation on the first day of May was 255.- S96 tons, or at the rate of about 100000 tons year. This weekly capacity was never before equaled In this or any other country. The weekly capacity of the fur naces in blast on January 1, 1897. was 163,- 577 tons. and the rise in product has been going on since that time, with occasional reccssions only The 100000 mark bids fair to he reached before frost.
