The government of Russia is so well
pleased with the two warships recently
built for it in this country that 1t has
determined to give an order for five
other war ships to American builders.
The orders, it Is said, will be placed
within the next few months. Russia
has also during recent years purchased
q number of locomotives in this coun-
try. AS a purchaser of locomotives,
however, she is about to go out of the
market. Russian shops have been
built or planned having a capacity of
1, 600 locomotives and $4,000 cars per
year. This is greater than the demand
will be for some time.

NO PLACE IN POLITICS.

The spectacle of Federal Judge
making a political speech is an impro-
per one. Judge Day should not set
such an example as he did at Canton
Monday night, Neither the State nor
the Federal Judiciary have any place in
partisan debates, They are called
upon to decide issues between man and
man, regardless of political consldera-
tionE, and the entrance of a Judge
into active politics of necessity units
him IN measure for the discharge of
his important trust.
It is improper for State or Fedora
Judges to be pronounced party workers,
but especially is this true of Federal
Judge who, because of the manner of
his appointment, and his life tenure of
office should be discreet and entirely
d1spassionate in his political affiliations
so as to have the entire confidence of
all the people, -Nashvllle American.

During the first year of skagway's his- tory nearly every man who remained the major portion of that time had reaped a success at least sufficiently large to justi- fy him In sending for his family and mak- Ing this his permanent home. Homes in- numerable sprung up everywhere, in the busy city and in It's quiet suburbs. and builders, carpenters, house painters and paper hangers were soon reaplng a rich harvest. But they are not sufficient in themselves to make home. After the house Is completed it needs furniture to make it a home. And SO great was the de- mand for furniture that E. k.

SKAGWAY WOMEN.

W " W V V V @ NE of the mos, Ha,tering incidents " of the reception given to the Amer iean members of the Joint High Com mission and United States Senators last summer. m the large pavilion erected by the Chamber of Commerce for the. fur- pose, Va. their expressions of surprise at the fashionable evening toilettes of the Sksgway women present. What is more pleasing is the fact that the com bhmeut came from women of the leading society of the United States, the wives and friends of the distinguished visitors. For il Is true that man Is an unreliable critic in such m tters, and although the softer sex dress and array themselves in all the modest pride that Art invents her beauty to improve" for the express purpose of pleasing aud attracting the sterne, sex, yet the latter sees only the general effects, and never troubles him- self as to how they are produced.
 The compliment was ss well-deserved as il was Asttering. With the prosperity of the first wiuler m mind, the meu who had Toughed il iu bachelor dirt and dis order sent for their wives and families; homes were built for them and other families followed. Prosperity eontinu- iug, the wives and grown daughters be- gan to wear it's outward ant visible signs. Where "any old thing" seemed to be good enough in the beginning tue femi- mine mind began to ponder upon and desire the latest fashionable fads and faueies. Then came, according to the natural laws of supply and demand, the firm of ]. $. Graham, which started hist on Fourth avenue but some time later had to seek larger quarters and IS now well-established in the Kelly block. This hrm Is the only one in the city that devotes itself entirely 10 what is called "ladies' furnishings" but it also carries a large stock, constantly renewed, Of tue latest fashions in cloaks aud taller made suits and hats. That our women appre ciatr this and are able to keep themselves well in tue van of fashions rapid march, is shown by the fact that Chicago poet some months ago tuned his Tyre to tue tune of "rhe Grey Goose Qniil." The ladies of Skagway had been wearing the grey goose quill iu their hats for weeks before that poem appeared.
