The Collapse of Jonesism. :

1t is interesting to note the sudden
collapse of the Jones Golden Rule
movement, which made its bow in state
politics last fall, and which caused
many editors not thoroughly familiar
with the peculiar conditions existing
to indulge in wlerd dreams The 100,-
900 votes cast for Jones last fall were
chiefly in the cities. his rural vote
was insignificant. Here in Cincinnati
where Jones received 10000 votes,
there was not even jones ticket this
spring. In Cleveland, where Jones
received last fall nearly $4,000 votes,
there was a non-partisan candidate,
but his vote fell to 5000. Even in his
home city, Toledo, the Jones move
ment seems to have passed. Last
spring he received 1900 of the 10000
votes cast in the city on the Maumee
for mayor. The Jones non-partisan
candidate for police commissioner this
spring received but 2,400 votes. The
Jones movement. like that of Coxey
and others of memory dear, was but
ephemeral. one of those episodes
which fortunately are rare among the
American people, and which, more for
tunately, are never rewarded with 9TH
er than temporary notoriety which
their promoters gain thereby y.-Cincin-

Secretory Long a Sampson
Enthusiast.

Now that Secretary Long is an
avowed asDirant for the Vice Presi-
Dental nomination at Philadelphia, he
takes his candidacy very seriously.
1t is said that he really believes that
he had only to express his willingness
to act as running mate with President
Mckinley to be given the honor for
which so many names have been sug-
gested. AS a matter of course, Secre-
tary Long would receive the active and
steadfast support of the Massachusetts,
delegation at Philadelphia if his name
should be presented 70 the convention,
and the other New England delegation
would without debut rally round his
standard. From what other quarters
he can expect the enthusiastic workers
who must make the nucleus CT sue
cessful boom, is entirely problematlc.
If Secretary Longs friends know
they have not yet spoken. One point
of possible weakness in the Secretary
of the Navy's candidacy has already
been freely discussed. 1t grows out of
the unfortunate controversy which the
friends of Admiral Sampson and
Schley have been waging so bitterly
since the great naval victory off Santi-
ago. 1t has been the habit of sCme of
Schley's admirers to drag the Navy
Department into the disagreement,
and, whether rightly or wrongly, their
clamor has unquestionably Grated con-
siderable impression.-Cor Com. Trtb-

Bird Bill Opposed by Feather
Workers.

Feather workers in this city are
much wrought up ocer the Hoar bird
bill now before Congress, and the hard
words of the Audubon and similar So
cieties that are crusading against the
use of birds plumage for trimming
hots.
Feather workers object to being
called 'murderous milliners" and
things like that. Resolutions have
been adopted setting forth the millin-
ers' side of the controversy. These
are to be signed by every person in the
city engaged in the trade, whether
employer or employe, as result of a
meeting held Tuesday night at No. 142
Fifth avenue, which was largely at
tended by women workers.
Miss Wanda Travis, forewoman in
large establishment, presided and
read paper, in which she said it has
been 20 years since songbirds wereused
in abundance for trimming hats.
Il wonder why people who look .up-
on the killing of birds. as barbaric
when their plumage is wanted are so
inconsistent when the same birds are
killed for food" she said. II wcnder
why these same people are not equally
sollcitous about the killing of kids for
gloves and of other animals fer furs.
.sTf is lo,
thousands of women who have devoted
themselves TO the feather industry will
be thrown out. CT work"
In the preamble and resolutions
which will be presented to Congress
appears list of the birds whose plum
age is used. These birds are princi-
pally barnyard fowl. pigeons, crews
and gamebirds.

being kinder than she is carcatured.
discards for years tie item lavishly
used for one season, and thus gives ma
ture chance TO recuperate. as in the
case with gulls and egrets, which have
not been in fashion for at least five
years, and whose vogue during the
past year will, according to the strict
rules of fashion prevent them from be-
ing extensively used for years to
come"
1t is declared that the feather work
ers are in hearty sympathy with the
game and other laws for the preserva-
tion Of birds in the close season.-New

Requested to Execute Himself.

Here is situation for novel.
Weng Tung-Ho was the tutor Of the
present Emperor of China from the
time he was selected as the heir to the
throne, and until the recent coup
d'etat was his most confidential and
influential adviser. Mr. Weng is a
man of great age. and until recently
none of all the Princes OF the court
received more respect than he. When
the Empress Dowager took charge of
affairs two years age she sent him to
his former home in Chang-Shu,a small
city about 40 miles northeast of Soo-
Chow, where he has since been living
in seclusion. Whether Weng Tung-Ho
has been communicati ting with his for
whether the Dowagcr fears that he
may attempt to do 90, nobody knows;
but few weeks ago she condemned
him to death, and forwarded notice to
that effect to him through the Cover
nor CT Soo-Chow. Weng's rank is so
hig and his person so venerable that
no official Of the Empire can be induc-
ed to execute the sentence, and he has
been requested by the Governor of
Soo- Chow to execute himself. A mill
tary guard has been placed around his
residence, so that he cannot escape or
be rescued, nor can he communicate
with anyone outside except through
the officials, and thus the old man was
living when the latest mails left China,
with the decree of the Empress Dow
ager in his hands. The news of his
suicide was expected daily.-Washing

Didn't Know the Language.

A Spiritualistic medium in this city
could not speak Welsh, and as a result
he has lost one of the most enthusias-
tic of his followers, and this is how il
happened. A gentleman who resides
on the east side has been a firm be-
lever in spiritualism, and he has tried
to get some of his friends interested in
-he subject. The other evening he ask
ed a gentleman friend and two young
ladies to accompany him to a seance
the three persons invited not being be-
levers in spirltualism.
The seance went on very smoothly
the relatives of several of those pres
ent being called from the realm of
spirits to give words of comfort 10
those at the seance. Noticing that
the young ladies wore mourning, the
medium asked one of theme II she did
not want to talk with her departed rel
ative. She said that the deceased was
her father and that she would like to
talk to him.
The medium, after the usual delay,
said that the father was ready to talk.
The young lady started to talk, and
then medium, not understanding her,
said:
What's that you are talking?"
Welsh" replied the young lady.
But your father is not talking in
Welsh, but in English" protested the
medium.
Then 1t is not my father, because
he could not speak a word of English" +"
replied the young lady.
This was a poser for the medium,
and in the confusion which followed
the party Of four left the seance.-

The Government Work For
Good Roads.

The work of the Office OF Public
Road Inquiries, under the direction OF
Gen. Roy Stone, has been marked dur
ing the past year by steady progress
along its well-established lines. A
great deal of work is accomplished by
correspondence and by the gathering
and disseminating of important lnfor-
nation relating to various phases oi
the read subject. Many thousand cop
les of good roads" literature have
been distributed among farmers and
other persons interested, and import
ant road conventions have been at
tended by representatives Of the Office
and many State legislatures have ask
ed fer and received assistance in fram-
ing new road legislation. Examples o!
steel road tracks have been completed
in number of different localities, and
these experimental sections of steel
road clearly demonstrated their use

other places which are but sparingly
supplied with good stone and gravel
