Mrs. w. w. Smith, who returned
to Pulaski a few days ago, says the
reported stoning OF her husband,
Evangelist Smith in the suburbs OF
Philadelphia last summer was a false
report. as he was not in Philadelphia
at the time, and that it was another
preacher Of the same name who was
hooted and stoned. Mr.. Smith and
his wife have been in kentucky for

Last Saturday Governor Tyler
granted pardon to John Fox, who
was sentenced to five years in the

1t is gratifying to know that Fran
els NJ. Parker's long brave battle for
the cause of rational education has
been brought to triumphant issue
in the city where it has been waged
and under the very eyes of his oppo-
nents. Although the persistent ef-
forts CT his enemies to dislodgc him
from his direction of the Cook Coun-
ty Normal School were always unsuc-
cessful at every stage, his continued
control of that institution would have
been much less Of triumph for his
cause than is his leadership of the
splendid institution established by
Mrs. Blaine, an institution that prob
ably found its suggestion in the re-
lentless and unfair tactics Of Colonel
Parker's enemies. AS things are the

What VIII the Census Civeus

We publish below table show ng
The population of the United States
at the taking of the census every ten
years since 1880, which was immed-
lately after the War of Independence
Inasmuch as the census will be taken
again in June of this year, these
figures will, no doubt, interest many
readers of the PosT. As will be seen
by the table the largest increase IN
population was in 1910, when the
per cent. was 81 over the previous III
years. 1t is thought by many that
the taking OF the census this year
will show 30 per cent. over the CEN
sus Of 1890. Following is the table:

It's up to the People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush.
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not Of spontaneous
growth They are the result Of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning Of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny Of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transporting, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with truthful
array Of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling,
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
Is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have a representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
look beyond their plausible decep-
lions. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
| tration in 1900 will end the era Of
greatest good to greatest number.

CONCERNING COURTESY.

One woman at a recent State
Federation convention in New
York said: "WOman must show
her good sense by failing to de-
mand courtesies as a tribute to
her sex. Even though it gives her
real pleasure to see hats come off
as she enters an elevator, and
though she is ready to thank in
her most charming manner the
man who rises and gives her a seat
in a street car, nevertheless, she
must fret no more over a lack Of
these little attentions, as she
works shoulder to shoulder with
men in business. Replying to
this, the Western Club Woman
says:
A gentlewoman never demands
courtesies. A gentleman never
fails to accord them. Public po-
likeness means very little if 1t is
not the natural expression of a
mans whole mental attitude
Once in a while he may give his
seat to a lady because she looks
fatigued, but ordinarily he thinks
very little about her, but simply
what he, as a gentleman, should
do.
In the neutral relation that ex-
lists in the business world, there is
as much need for a study of the
courtesies of life among women as
among men. The stenographer
who wheels around on her chair,
shifts her gum and says "Huh?'
when she is spoken to, has no
right to expect courteous consid-
Grafton. If she makes a point of
being quiet in her manners, get

ting up and standing when her
employers address her, learning to
say Sir" and to accord the most
scrupulous politeness to those with
whom she comes in contact, she
will never fail to receive courte-
Gus treatment, and she will be an
active preservative force of the
politeness of man, which goes
glimmering as he sees that it is
wasted on the rude young person
who does not know enough to say
thank you" when he opens the
door for her.
Some one ought to make small
fortune by writing a book of ETH
quette to show the courtesy that
women owe men. The average
manual of this kind deals exclu-
sively with public functions, the
amenities between women, the
proper time to call, the use of
cards, and so far as men and wo-
men are concerned, the whole
thing is summed up in the list of
occasions where first one, then the
other precedes. The average maid
is not taught that when a stray
man does appear at an afternoon
tea he should be served first.
When a few men drop into our
club meetings it is not customary
to say we would like to hear from
them first in our discussions,
though they are often called upon.
We are not scrupulous in keeping
our engagements with them, I'M
less our own pleasure is involved,
and in many, many ways, we are
far more lax in the matter of ac-
cording proper consideration than
our brothers. There are people
who seem to think ill-breeding
genuine and politeness a veneer,
but real courtesy is only an APP
plication of the prlnciple-"In

OsSOLI CIRCLE.

Ossoli met in regular session
Monday, March 18th. The sub
ject of most general interest at the
business meeting was the report of
the Civics Committee on their in
vestigation concerning the city
ordinance in relation to expector-
ating on the streets. The COM
mittee found an ordinance against
this practice to have been in effect
for several months, but that it has
never been enforced, and that it
rests with the chief of police to
enforce the same. The commit
tee was further instructed to see
this official and make an effort to
arouse his interest to the point of
having the law enforced. The
fact was mentioned that such a
law is enforced with most excel
lent results in Chicago, Richmond,
Asheville and other cities.
The club continued the study
of Paris. Owing to the illness of
the chairman, Mrs. Perkins, the
president presided during the his
tory exercises. Mrs. G. P. Brooke
read a most thorough paper on
The Prisons and Prisoners of
Paris. To study the prisons of
Paris is to study much of its his
tory, for in no civilized country
of the world have innocent people
been imprisoned and executed
with the reckless daring that has
obtained during the several peri
DDS of revolution and riot. Per-
haps the best known of Paris
prisons is the Bastile, destroyed
July 1889. La Foece is the prin-
cipal one. But there is more ro-
nance attached to the Concier-
gerie than to any other, for at one
