these qualities by insisting upon choos-
ing her own husband. Time and time
again it has been announced that
Queen Wilhelmina was betrothed to
this or that royal highness, only to
have the report given immediate de-
NAL by her actions. Many have been
hints she has received on the high rank
and good qualities of the different
scions of royal houses, but she has al
ways met the remarks of such otficious
persons with chilling contempt. 1t is
said that one of the ladies of the court
who suggested that a certain prince
would make an eligible husband re-
ceived the curt reply: "If you think
him so fine, why don't you marry him
yourself? The man l marry must re-
spect enough to call him my lord and
master except during the times when
am consulting with my ministers. Then
| shall be the queen, and he will be my
subject"
Indeed it has been evident from the
first that Queen Wilhelmina had no in
tention of being mere figurehead, and
as she has really fine character and
has endeared herself to her subjects by
countless little acts of kindness this
decision of hers is much applauded by
the common people.
Now comes the announcement that
her majesty's choice has fallen on
Duke Adolph Frederick Of Mecklen-
burg -Schwerin. The duke is some
years the senior of his intended bride,
having been born in 1873. He is cap
tain and chief escort in the regiment
of cuiraSsiers of the Prussian guards
and is looked upon as one of the clever
est members of the noted house to
which he belongs. Tall and handsome,
with the fine straight figure due to
German training, he is very popular In
his regiment.
Queen Wilhelmina is the tallest
queen in Europe, and although so
young she carries herself with truly
royal dignity. The illustration repre-
sents her in Dutch attire, costume OF

Soft Fabrics PopuIar-Slight Changes
In Cut-Business Suits.
THE EYE A SPECIALITY.


The materials for suitings will be
more attractive than those Of last sea-
son, and soft fabrics will be popular,
says the New York Tribune, authority
for the following items in regard to
mems clothes for the season of 1901.
1t will be largely a stripe season, and
the stripes will range from the narrow
herringbone to the clear cut lines
which were worn in flannels during the
summer months. But there Will De
many handsome checks and overplaids
Also and these will be worn by men
who are too tall for the striped goods.
Fancy waistcoats, which were worn so
much last fall and winter that it was
feared they would become common
will be worn again, and many hand
some patterns have been added to the
large collections.
There will be no radical changes.
"The days for great jumps in mems
Styles" said Fifth avenue tailor, "are
over. We 20 slowly, and changes are
brought about before the wearer knows
it. The trousers grew narrower by de-
grees, and now by degrees they are
growing wider, and next seasons crop
will be just a bit broader than last
years, and the frock coat will be just a
bit longer. The left over frock last
year could be cut off and made fashion
able, but the left> over garment this
year must be cast aside, because you
can't add piece to its length"
The shoulders in Overcoats will be
made broad and square, and padding
will be used literally. The Chester
field, the popular overcoat, with seam
down the back, will be made to come
just below the knee. The collar will be
Of the same material as the coat or Of
velvet, and the garment will be cut

Mr, Eyarts' SecIusion.

At recent big meeting the printed
list of vice presidents contained the
name Of William NJ. Evarts says the
New York World To old timers the
name recalled many things; to the new
generation it possibly meant nothing.
Mr.. Evarts never leaves the old red
brick mansion at the corner Of Four
teenth street and Second avenue. Call
ers there are very few aside from the
families Of his children and his former
law partners.
The giants in the Republican party
today have forgotten him. If they
We're asked whether Mr.. Evarts were
dead or living, it would probably puz-
zle most of them to give an offhand
answer.

young man for so responsible a posi-
ton He is only 81 years of age, but
he has been connected with the labor
movement for 10 years. He is Of
course practical miner and has work
ed in the coal mines of a number of
states, from Illinois as far west as
New Mexico Mr.. Mitchell has won
the confidence of the coal miners not
only by his labors in their behalf, but
also by his many sterling qualities Of
character, although by the operators
he is bitterly denounced and detested
as an "agitatOr."
Mr.. Mitchells career in his particu-
lar branch Of unionism has been nota-
BILE. His father, a coal miner, lost his
life in the mines and left him at the
age of to the care of friends. At 13
he began work in the mines and at 16
became Il Knight of Labor in his ma
tive state, Illinois. He has been sue
cessively secretary-treasurer of north
Illinois, delegate to the Illinois legisla-
ture, member of the state executive
board of the United Mine Workers, or.
ganiZer of the national union, vice
president and finally president of the
organization. In two years practically
he rose from the humble position of a
coal miner in Spring Valley, Ills, to
the head Of his organization - truly

silk finish will be more generally worn,
because tne shawl roll, even for young
men, will be less popular.
The waistcoats will be either single
or double breasted if Of the same mate
rial as the coat, but only double breast
ed IL made of fancy material. Trou-
sers will have the side seams covered
with either plain or fancy braid. The
men who insisted ON wearing high
hats with dinner, sack or Tuxedo coats
will probably continue the fight, but
makers Of fashions still insist that a
Tuxedo Is a sack and that white tie,
white waistcoat and high hat should
not be worn with it. These coats Will
be made with the peaked lapel roll or
with the silk shawl finish. The latter
will be the favorite style.
For day dress the double breasted
frock and the single breasted cutaway
will again be one correct garment, but
stout men will probably be glad to
adopt the recently introduced single
breasted frock coat, which was exten-
sively worn many years ago and gave
way before the double breasted gar
ment.
"All men look alike in a ballroom or
at the OPERA" said a fashionable tailor,
land no one could see there that the
American man is well dressed. To get
the right idea on that score you must
see the men in their business dress.
Among the business suits for the com
ing season the three button cutaway
will rank first, and close behind this in
point of popularity will be the straight
front four button sack. Then as third
in line will come the four button cuta-
way sack. The double breasted straight
sack will be worn much by the men
who are Indifferent to moderate cold
and who dispense with oycrcoats for
ordinary street wear. but the single
breasted coat of the same pattern will
continue to be worn, as it was in the
spring and summer.

FREDERICK DILCHER.
for so young n man Il career that must
have been filed with earnest, constant
endeayor. His leading mental charac-
teristic is perseverance. In the organi-
zation his name stands as a synonym
of hard fighting and symbol of a
never say die policy. His mind works
slowly when an important matter is
under discussion, but once resolved
nothing can turn him from his purpose.
He is ready debater and fluent speak
er and is member or officer of a num-
Der of social and educational societies
and clubs. Before lie reached his ma
jority his fellow townsmen at Spring
Valley, Ills, thought well enough Of
him to elect him n member of the local
board Of education.
In Frederick, or big Fred" Dilcher
the miners have for a leader a man
who is thoroughly one of themselves.
In dress, appearance and manner he is
a typical miner save that his height,
more than six feet, and his girth rem
der him conspicuous. Mr.. Dilcher is
an older man than his chief and has
been an active organizer among his CO.
laborers for many years. He has
been a coal miner for II years. His is
an ideal personality to deal with so
heterogeneous a mass of men as the
strikers, for he possesses a grand fund
of good nature and patience in dealing
with difficult situations. He is the
chief of the executive board and the
leader in most direct contact with the
men. To his friends he is known as
Baby" an ironical reference to his
height and bulk.
Mr. Dilcher is a native of Ohio and
the head of the coal miners in the dis
trict that includes the eastern part of
that state and part of Pennsylvania.
To him is due much of the credit for
the organization of the miners of the
anthracite region into the union.

DEAR EDITOR DEMOCRAT. AS
Monroe is my old home and it's
many citizens my friends, L will
endeavor to write few lines to
the DEMOCRAT. We have fine
prospects for corn and cotton.
Wheat harvest just about over.
Pearl fishing in Black River in
full blast-getting out some
pearls that bring one thousand
dollars. We are having quite a
good deal of rain now. Health
is reasonably good at present.
Maybe some of my friends
would like TO know how I moved
from Poplar Bluff, Mo-, to
Lynn, Arkansas. l just built
me a John Boat and fioated
down Black River, a distance
of 300 miles. Saw plenty of
deer, turkey and raccoons, also
plenty of mosquitoes to keep
man company, but it was a
pleasant voyage. Myself and
family could eat anything that
came in our way.
You will call to memory the
tale of the traveller going
through Arkansas and asking
the old man if he knew Wash.
ington was dead, and the old
woman jumping up and saying,
there, old man, didn't I tell yer
if yer didn't read yer almanac
yer would never know nothin.
When the natives here go to
say just beyond any thug, they
say just furnanth so and so.
We have no school to amou Mt
to anything here, just 80 yea RS
behind old Monroe county.
Plenty of work here and very
good wages.
