When Mistress Jenny plays al whist
'Tis time to stand from under;
The cards that fill her dainty fist
Have tricks that make one wonder.
Like thirteen thunder bolts of Jove,
They menace all the table,
And as she plays them out they prove
Their threat to be no fable.
Ye godsl she has a pretty hand
And handles it divinely,
Defeating what her foes have planned.
The while she smiles benignly;
They sap long suits of boosted strength,
And make cross ruffs a pleasure;
They draw the trumps and make" at
length,
Long-suit tricks out of measure.
In sequence, thus, from day to day
She triumphs at discretion;
Meantime the hearts of us who play
Come into her possession.
And hearts are always trumps, you know!

She need must win, of course, for 10,

A Washington police court, says the
Green Bag, had occasion recently to pass
upon the momentous question whether the
proprietor of a monkey can be compelled
to furnish it with shoes. On the COM
plant of some benevolent idiot, Pietro
Florello, by profession a hand organist,
was hauled into the temple of justice to
answer a charge of cruelty to animals, in
that he was utilizing harefooted monkey
in the collection of his precarious income
After a careful research into the law of
domestic citations, the court reached the
conclusion that Signor FlcTello was under
no legal obligation to furnish his friend
with footgear, and the case was accord
inglY dismissed.

THIRTY-FIRST TO FORTY-SECOND
STREETS; WHY NOT.

A correspondent wishes to know what
the City Council is going TO do about re-
naming. or REMEMBERING. the streets south
of Anderson street. He thinks that the
proposition is NOT correctly understood,
and that some persons are under the~im-
preston that the idea is to DO away en-
tirely with the names of the older streets,
for instance, Bay and Bryan, and to call
them First and Second streets, and 50 on.
So far as the information of the Morning
News goes, nothing has been done by
City Council to correct the error in the
number-names Of the streets south of An
derson. There is no reason for changing
the names of the streets north of that
point, end no suggestion to that effect.
has been made. The names of the old
streets should be retained. The nomen>
elature is pleasing. and perpetuates To-
caly many names that are great in his
tory-Oglethorpe, Perry, Gordon, Gwin
nett, and others. But there is no rea-
son in calling the thrty-frst street as
the streets run numerically from the City
Exchange, First street. The first of the
numbered streets were laid off and num-
ber-named when they were in the suburbs,
outside OF the city limits, and they were
called by numbers by way of readily dis
tingushing them from the city streets.
New that they are thorougflfares within
the city, they should be properly and con-
sistently designated, by giving them their
proper number-names counting from the
logical starting point, the City Exchange,
at the northern end of the city. Begin
ming at that point there are thirty streets
TO and including Anderson, so that the
first numbered street is in consecutive
order the thirty-frst street from the Elk
change and therefore ought to be known
as Thrty-hrst street. The proposition is
number-names, which Would bring the
matter straight and make the numbers
mean something. Twelfth street would
become Forty-second street, and its mum,
Der would mean That it was forty-two
streets removed from the northern bound
airy. These numbers, too, would give
more adequate idea of the real extent of
the city.
This matter could be adjusted without
the cost to the taxpayers of single cent.
The stroke of a pen" practically. would
do the job. VIII not Alderman Williams,
who is doing so much toward making

New York is very much afraid that she
is losing her export trade AS a matter
of fact the export grain trade does seem to
be slipping away from that city. The ex-
ports from Boston and Montreal have in
creased immensely and the South Allan
tic and Gulf ports are getting a big share
Of the grain shipments. The State of New
York appointed a commission to investi-
gate the question of deepening the Erie
canal The commission made its report
last Thursday. The conclusion reached was
that 1t would cost as much as $2J0000,000
to make the Erie canal ship canal.
That is practically prohibitive. And if
the canal should be made into a ship canal
New York would be worse off than she is
now, because she would then lose by far
the greater part of her export trade. Ships
would load al Chicago and Duluth and
would not stop at New York at all. They
would go direct from the lake ports OF
the West to their destinations in Europe
1t is clear, therefore, that the scheme 10
enlarge the Erie canal will hardly find ia
vor with the merchants of New York. The
only thing left for New York to do is TO
bulldoze her railroads into carrying grain
from the West to her wharves at less cost
than it is carried by rail or water TO any
other port.

month, the Kentucky some time in April,
the Alabama in May. and the Wisconsin

The Wisconsin will be attached to the
Pacific squadron, and the three others to

European squadron is recognized the
probabilities are that at least two of these
new ships will be members of it, giving
the United States the most formidable
representation they have ever had in Eu-

GEN. MHEELER.s sTATus.

If 1t were NOS for opposition within his
own party the probabilities are thar Gen.
Joseph Wheeler. upon his return from the
Philippines, would be sworn in as a mem
Der of the F,fty-sixth Congress without
question. But it appears that some stick
iers for the constitution, under the leader
ship Of AIR. Bailey OF Texas, viii endeavor
10 have the seat declared vacant In the
last Congress, it win be recalled, Mr..
Bailey, for no other apparent reason than
his desire to exploit his devotion TO the
constitution in its strictest letter, endeav-
ored to have Gen. Wheeler ousted from
membership in that body; but the House,
by a conclusive vote refused to consider
the case when it was presented by the
Judiciary Committee.
1t had been decided by the judiciary
Committee that inasmuch as Gen. Wheeler
had already been sworn in as a member
Of the Flfty-ifth Congress, and had per
formed the functions of the office so held,
before he volunteered for service in the
army and accepted a commission, in ac-
cepting the commission in the army he
had forfeited his seat in the House, which
law prohibiting the holding of two Of
fees at one and the same time. In the
present instance, It is being pointed OUT
the conditions are different. Gen. Wheel
or, although elected TO the Fifty-SiXth
Congress, has never qualified, drawn sal
airy or claimed his seat. In the former
case the Judiciary Committee held that
he had qualified performed functions Of
the office and received pay as a member
of Congress. In so far as the current
Congress is concerned, Gen. Wheeler has
done neither of these things
A parallel with his present status, Il is
said, is found in the case of former Sen
ator David r. Hin of New York Mr.
Hill was Governor of New York at the
time of his election to the senatorship.
The term of senator began March 4, 1891,
and the term of Governor expired Jan. l,
1899. Mr.. Hill continued TO serve as Gov
ernor of Ne York until Jan. !, 1892 and
three days later he took the oath of office
as United States senator Thus for near
ly ten months he was Governor of New
however was not regarded as holding two
Offices, since Mr. Hill had not qualified as
a senator. Gen Wheeler is now repre-
sentative-elect from an Alabama district,
and a brigadier general of VOLUNTEERS in the
federal army. The only departure from
a parallel in the two cases is that Mr.. Hill
held a state office and was member-elect
TO a federal Office, while Gen, Wheeler
NDlds a federal Office and is member-elect
20 another. 1t is claimed by the Generals
friends in Washington that these facts, in
connection with his eminent services to
his country, will be sufficient to induce
the House TO decide in his favor and per-
nit him TO be sworn in. without the delay
and red-tape of holding another election
in his district. For it is a foregone con-
clusion that If there were to be another
election Gen. Wheeler would be returned,

An American scout who is familiar with
the topography of that part of South At
RIGA in which the British and the Beers
are now fighting, says that the British are
now engaged in cracking the hardest nut
they viii encounter in the whole cam
paign. Once they get beyond the range
of hills in which they are now fighting
they will come TO a wide expanse Of flat
land, where the Beers cannot practice
their favorte methods of warfare and
where the tactics of the British will be
TO great advantage. When the fighting in
Natal has been finished, the American
quoted does not expect that there will be
any other serious conflicts until the neigh
borhood of Pretoria is reached. Mean
while. the British lack a lot Of being
across that troublesome range Of hills In
the North Of Natal.
