He at once placed himself in an atti-

through which the party had grown
into commanding influence: he failed
to we're for the nominees of his own

new kinks even in it. One of them dis
covered that the whole thing was
fake. That young Cudahy was never
kidnapped, but was off on lark with
some boy companions, and the family
gave out the kidnapping story. Even

KaUGER's PROGRAM.

Mr.. William T. stead's interview
with President Kruger puts the Euro
pean itinerary of the shrewd old
bursher in new light. both as to his
intentions and the attitude of CONT
mental sovereigns toward him. The
spectacle Of the representative of one
country undertaking popular cam
paign In another would not be entirely
novel. The Boer ENJOYS. after their
frigid reception at Washington, took
occasion to feel the popular pulse in
this country. but while the sympath
OF the American people was every
where with them, they evidently con-
cluded that nothing practical was to
be accomplished and so returned 10
Europe.
President Kruger's presence either
in Germany or Austria would no doubt
be the signal for an outburst of en-
thusiasm, just as 1t was in France,
and is in Holland. but that popular
opinion would move either of those
countries to act is extremely doubtful.
1t is, OF course not absolutely a negli-
gible quant..y in any enlightened
country of Europe. but the govern
ment moves only in response TO ire
mendous pressure of the sort, unless
it is inclined to move anyway. 1t was
probably tactical mistake in Presi-
dent Kruger to announce in advance
that. failing to secure offers of arbitra
ton in accordance with the principles
enunciated by The Hague peace confer
ence, he will appeal from the sover-
eigns to the people. He is likely to
find that as a result of this warning,
any attempt to arouse public senti-
ment or enthusiasm will be effecutally
frustrated.
Mr.. Kruger's covert sarcasm at the
expense of the governments that took
part in the sorry farce called The
Hague peace conference is amply
justified by facts. AS n piece of IN
TERNATIONAI. HYPOCRISY, the
articles so solemnly adopted by that
conference are unique in the worlds
history. Surely there could be no more
fit instance for the application of those
principles than the war between Eng
land and the burghers. whether the
merits of the case, the heroism of the
Boer resistance, or the dictates of an
enlightened humanity be the consid-
Grafton. And yet Mr.. Kruger has been
able to get n mere audience of only
two of the signatory powers of those
articles. The policy of force and sell

GENERAL PRESS COMMENTS.
VOICE FROM a GRAVEYARD.
ATLANTA Constitution

Treighted on the voice OF one who
has been, but is now no more, comes
she advice of Grover Cleveland to-
Give the rank and file chance.
Ever since the close of the last cleo
ton there has been cachination
feshpots during the four years preced-
ing 1897. There have been limitations
that "the old man" would have some
thing to say later on. The public has
been prepared by easy stages for the
great talk" in store for expectant
Democracy, and it comes by way of
Philadelphia.
The voice develops as that of Grover
Cleveland, and those who must enthu-
siastically welcome it are from the
men who, when 'the rank and file"
were on trial, stood faithfully by the
"ncshpots" and the opportunities"
Advice derives all value from its
source. When the man giving 1t bears
upon his person the wounds of battle
he deserves attention, even though he
sounds retreat.
When such man calls for change
of plan. his fidelity gives him she right
of initiative.

for that OF another, he can. with pro-
priety, claim trial for his own
But when the voice comes from the
revels of the enemy, from one who in
power wrecked his party, who stabbed
il in the back during the fight. who by

the Boxer movement, which will exist
until every foreign devil in China is
Killed..
Is not this a new note, and, withal,
a dangerous one for the allies who
have been perpetratng the unspeaka-
BILE atrocities in China? If this country
had been involved as China has been;
if innocent and helpless Americans 0n-
Guiding women and children), had been
robbed and butchered as helpless and
innocent Chinese have been; Il its enc
mis- were plotting it's partition. as the
enemies of China are doing, this is pre-
cisely what we should imagine some
dying American would have said. in
effect long ago. It is in fact a mani
festation of that spirit that prompts
men to die in the last ditch, but doesn't
prompt them to give up.
Did this particular Boxer speak for
himself or for his kind? Was he a
solitary patriot, or are there more like
him? Was the sentiment his own, and
did it perish with him, or IS about to
become the sentiment. in deadly earn
opinion all along that the allies were
driving the Chinaman too hard; that
sooner or later the worm would turn.
Colonel Tullock's Boxer--for the SEN
timent was repeated on Colonel Tul-
locks authority--was evidently not q
nice and humane person. Is it strange
that he was not? lie was only n
Chinaman, to be sure, and heather,
but isn't therc an unpleasantly earn
est ring about what he said? 1t Is not
about the sentiment entertained every
where ana always by the patriot who
has seen his country suffer unspeaka-
bic wrongs at the hands of its enemies?
1t is not improbable that the several
governments that have participated in
this wantonly brutal treatment of the
Chinese will regret that they did not
employ mildcr measures before the first
quarter of the new century is gone.

In the hurry OF the ordinary news of

in Pekin has been overlooked.
1t is doubtful whether even the peo-
pie of the Celectial City are yet aware

of strength. but 1t is sufficient to ena-

the fullness, fashioned into box plat,
provides the necessary width for the
skirt section. Short chemises are more
popular than those that do duty as I'M
der petticoats. In either case circular
founce, lace trimmed and attached by
several rows of beading through which
washable ribbon is run, is preferred to
the gathered frill which has obtained so
long.
Frills are cutting quite swath in
white circles. On. the golf petticoats
they are knife plated; on silken ones
they are gagged, and on drawers they
are fitted.
Nightdresses are excessively elab-
crate. All are made with elbow sleeves
and are very decollete. Some have
sleeves and yoke made entirely of lace.
Others introduce for ornament a mass
of tiny tucks. above which is draped a
lace scarf or fichu.
Corset covers are quite plain and for
the most part devoid of any trimming

The princess petticoat, combining skirt

HOW TO ACQUIRE 4 BEAUTIFUL WAIST.

to give this quality. Judicious exer-
else will very often develop grace and
roundness where they do not by ma
ture exist. After the age of 25 the
muscles and bones of the feminine
figures are said to lose their pliability
for lack of exercise; many women,
too, then begin to round out into pros
portions that are suggestive OF the
approach of middle aged embonpoint.
Here is an exercise highly recom-
mended for strengthening the abdom-
inal muscles and molding the waist
into lines of grace and beauty:
Kneel on the left knee, with the face
turned forward, the eyes looking
straight ahead and with the right
arm extended straight above the
head and the left hand placed on the
waist. The head and trunk should
then be slowly turned to the left, the
right arm following.
After repeating this movement three
or four times, shift the weight of the
body to the left knee and SO through.
the exercise with that side of the
body. The exercise is one that can be
depended upon for speedy good eff
fects.
Very few women walk gracefully.
and the reason Of this is a lack of
pliability in the muscles of the abdo-
men and waist as often as from self
consciousness or bad carriage. Tho
easy, languid elegance with which
Spanish women move is due to PEE
culiar conformation of the waist and
the spine. probably due to the exer-
else Of the muscles by the Spanish
dances. which require a marked un-;
lulation Of the waist.

might fail to charm where Mrs. Dewey
has succeeded.
To understand the secret Of her power
one must understand the man whom
she fascinated.
Admiral Dewey's face proclaims him
one of the kindest, most candid of men.
I have never seen on any human face
an expression Of such absolute SINGER
ity; it is the face of a man who hates
sham in any shape or form and who is
absolutely fearless in his expression of
that hatred. With all his strength of
character; the sturdy admiral has much
of the poetsin his nature-it is strange
coordination of the martial and the ar
tistic temperaments. The refined, the
beautiful, appeal to him irresistibly.> At
his age and in his position, a man begins
to be little bored by commonplaces,
and, while many women are beautiful,
few are original or brilliant.
Mrs. Dewey as Mrs. Hazen was noted
for her wit, for her intellectual bril-
liancy; hen salon came as near being
famous as that of the late Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague when in the zenith of
her social popularity. Nature gifted
her with a clever wit and education
and travel added the advantage Of ex-
ceptional cultivation.
| Accustomed to. moving in the best So
cial circles, from her childhood, she has
THE gracious ease Of manner which we
are accustomed to ascribe to a duchess.
but which my experience has taught me
few wearers Of the strawberry leaves
are fortunate enough to possess.
In person she is a woman of about
feet and inches in height. pleasingly
plump and with carriage that reminds
me very strikingly of that of the Bar
oness Adelina Patti Cedarstroin. In
deed she has a strong resemblance to
| Nine. Patti cedarstrom9 in both face
and manner. The upper part of the
face. especially about the eyes, is like
that of the great singer. There is the
same sweet. caresslng information of the
voice in speaking and thesam delightful
appearance of sincerity in all she says
and does. Apparently, Mrs. Dewey is in
terested in everything and everybody
land it is her delightful affectation Of
