Cade and Sholars are now in
Monroe ''conferring" over the stu.
alton, and each is said to be en-
deavoring to- explain why the othe'
should come down from the head OF
the ticket and fall into line some
where nearer the tails OF course i,
has been a foregone conclusion
from the outset that Sholars will
eventually come down from his
perch and give place to ''the terror
from the 'Takapas. who proposes
to inaugurate hls 'red-hot cam
paign" as soon as his committee
gives him the right of way TO go out
and conquer. Sholars is a s.bad
man." it is true, but he is not con
sidered TO be quite such a man
eater as Cade is, and as the &C.
mand of the moment is for q real
<'bad man" from the headwaters of
Bitter Greek, it is recognized that
Cade is the man the Republicans
are looking for. Sholars lost his OPP
portunity when he failed to do
something to copper Cade's great
naval movement against Baton
Rouge in 1896. If Sholars had or
ganized battalion of Rough Riders
and led it against the enemy en-
trenched At the capital he might
have stood some show as against
Cade; but inasmuch as the only
thing he marsbaled was a pair Of
lungs, he cannot even ex-
pect to come up to ''Majah Ro
main, sah," who came equipped
with lungs that were the, envy of
every donkey in the land. Besides,
it must be remembered that the re-
doutable Sholars' frontal name is
Dennis, and the coalition forces
hear t" going into a cam
paign under the leadership of one
by his parents to such
a fate. The candidate of the Re-
publican party will find his name to
be "Dennis" soon enough without
defying fate by starting IN with

TARS AGAIN ON DECK.
Revival Of Sailing Vessels In the Car.
Pyiuu Tra6a

Revival of Sailing Vessels In the Car
rying Trade.
Are we coming once more to day OF
tall spars, bellying sails and really
truly" jack tars instead of machinists
and freight handlers in the foreign
trade? asks the Savannah News. That
is the prediction that is freely made at
the Philadelphia maritime exchange
Within few years, 1t Is believed, the
tramp steamship will have virtually
disappeared from the oriental carrying
trade and its place will be taken by
the square rigger of towering masts
and maZy cordage. Already, indeed,
the movement from steam to sail is
said to be under way. That far-seeing
corporation, the Standard OIL com
pany, has for year or two been secur-
ing desirable sailing ships for its trade
with the east until at present it has
quite considerable feet. As illustrat-
ing how the prices OF ships have gone
up, two years ago the American clip
per Eureka, in good condition, was sold
for $4,000. She was transformed into
a barge. A vessel Of similar tonnage
and in no better condition was sold re-
Gently for $4,000.
The reason for the change OF motive
power is not far to seek. 1t lies in the
increasing difficulty Of securing coal at
Algiers, Port Said, Colombo and other
way stations to the orient. At present
the prices OF coal are so high as to be
almost prohibitive and ships leaving
Philadelphia or New York for China
are compelled to sacrifice from 1000 to
$500 tons Of carrying capacity to their
coal supplies. Heretofore, they have
taken on only 500 tons of coal or
enough to carry them from one coaling
station to another. Thus freight room
was economical. But with coaling
prices soaring and the stocks at the
stations being only sufficient for the
regular liners and the warshipe, the
freighters are compelled to change
their plans. British shipping mer-
chants have taken steps to anticipate
this coal question by changing many
Of their ships in the China and Japan
trade to oil burners.

Mrs Bagley, mother of Worth Bag

boat W1nslow and killed of Cardenas,
Cuba. during the Spanish war, has sent
to the Bath Iron Works plans for a
handsome memorial tablet, which will
be placed on the torpedo-boat now un-
der construction at the Bath Iron
Works in his honor. The tablet will
be of bronze in the shape Of a shield.
The border will represent cannon balls,
and on 1t will be the name Worth Bag

About the Veil

Wells with velvet spots have been
the reigning fashion for some time,
but the novel feature which distin-
guishes them now is that you can Sc
lect your plain net, choose the size and
number of spots most becoming and
have them put on to order as far apart
or as near together as you like. Fancy
pretty woman standing before the
mirror arranging the becoming posi-
ton of the spots on her veil while
the girl behind the counter sews in
little threads to mark the places, and
you will have new edition Of the
vanity Of vanities, but the result fully
justifies the means.-New York Sun.
