WIDOWS IN FOREIGN COURTS

CMarquise de FOnetnoy)
Queen Marguerite constitutes a very
notable addition to the extraordinarily
long list of royal and imperial widows.
In fact, it may be asserted that there is
hardly a court in Europe where widows
weeds do not form conspicuous feature,
destined in a way to remind its members
that above all the brilliancy, the pomp
and grandeur which characterize it. there
hovers always the shadow of death In
Russia we find the widow of Emperor
Alexander III playing an important po-
hical role, while the mOrganatic widow
of the murdered Alexander II, Princess
Yourieffska, lives in exile abroad In
Germany there is the widow OF Emperor
Frederick, whose political influence has
become impaired by falling health, and
who, indeed, is reported to be critically
i'll with Bright'S disease. Spain is wisely
and carefully governed by a regent, who
is the widow of King Alfonso XII, while
in the neighbOring kingdom of Portugal
the widowed Queen PA may be said, ike
the widowed cZarina at St. Petersburg, 10
head species of opposition to the court
and government of her son. The widowed
Queen Emma of Holland surrendered a
little more than year ago to her 1Ow
grown-up daughter, Queen Wilhelmina,
the reinS of government which she had
held as regent during the minority Of
her child, and nearby, confined as a luna
tic in the Belgian chateau of Bouchout
is the widowed empress of Mexico, who
has been bereft of her reason ever since
her husband was court-martialed and
shot in Mexico thirty-three years ago.
The court of st. James has sometimes
been described as The Court of Wild
ows," owing TO the fact that not only
Queen Victoria and two of her daughters,
as well as daughter-in-laW, but likewise
the majority Of her ladieS-in-Waiting, are
widows, while among other royal and i'm
perial widows may be mentioned the en-
press of the French, the empress of
China, the khedivah mother and the wild
Ow of the reigning prince Of Servia, who
was murdered in 1868.

MAN AND THE CHURCH.

Is. E. Kiser.l
When the preachers preached hell fire
The men would stay away,
For they had no desire
To wriggle and perSpire
All through the holy day
They didn't care to know
OF horrors down below
Such preaching left them so
Unstrung, they used TO say:
The doctrine Of damnation
Is seldom preached today;
A higher revelation
Has brought obliteration
To the devil, so they say
Yet the men decline to go;
What's the use, they want to know,
Since the fires down below
Have been smothered, anyway?

(LOulSVllle Courler-jo urnal.)
The Duke of Manchester is to wed an
American heiress. There were many
people who did not know that the duke
was not in easy circumstances. The pur-
chase of foreign paUperS ought to be sub
jected to a heavy tax The following
schedule would probably be about right.
For each duke ..-.-..................$1,0O 900. coo
For each marquis .....--.-.-..-.... 10000
For each 100000
For each viScount .................. 250,000
For each baron ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 100000
BarOnets, knights, etc, might be thrown
in for good count, as Iney do not amount
to much. The taxation on the export of
the purchasers of foreign paupers with
titles would have both a moral and eco
nOmic effect. 1t would prevent silly girls
from wasting their money in the pur-
chase of foreign rOueS and gamblers, and
it would prevent the export of a great
deal of good American money to pay the
debts and sustain the vices of these de-
cayed specimens Of an effete aristocracy.

THOUSANDS of hcme-seekers are
coming to the Northwest in
search of homes this winter. Most
Of them are going through to the
coast and Idaho does not seem to
catch her share of them-at least
on their outward trip. But tnat
need not be discouraging. Few of
the thousands will find conditions
to their liking on the coast, They
will have satisfied their curiosity,
however. and will be in better
frame of mind to investigate the
advantages of Idaho when they
turn back toward the interior.
Idaho should feel a deep interest
in this outpouring of home-seekers.

LET us see-four years ago there
was fusion between the populists
and the democrats, and the popu-
lists were allotted the senator. In
the senatorial election that fol-
lowed, Mr.. Dubois and all of his
friends urged with great energy
that the members of the legislature
could not be bound by resolution
of state convention to vote for a
pOpulist for senator, and Mr., Du-
bols even secured the assistance of
his eastern democratic friends, in
Guiding Secretary Walch of the
national committee, to work along
such lines. But how is it now ?
Sir. Dubois is now urging that the
resolution of the state convention
at PocatelIo last July is binding OF,
members of the legislature and
settles the election of senator in his
favor. Such Inconsistency, if not
important in politics, is at least
amusing.

HANDSOME WINTER SKIRTS.
they WIN he Made IsoOser In
Fit and Have More
FuIlness.

There seems every reason to hope that
common sense will be allowed tic prevail
and that the grotesque tightness which
has disfigured a great many OF the re-
cent skirts will not be allowed to play
havoc with our winter dresses. In the
very nature of things, the skirts are
bound TO be narrow and tight fitting,
but there is absolutely no reason why
we should submit to wearing ugly and
ungraceful skirts, in which it is difficult
to walk, except in the mincing gait
peculiar to China, and impossible to sit
down with any reasonable hope Of ever
being able to get up again.
Quite the newest gowns in Paris and
Vienna, although they are frequently
made with TUNES and draped double
skirts, have none of them that eXag-
gerated tightness which prevailed dur
ing the summer months, and there are
some really charming gowns in fine
cloth. which have been made by very
well known Partisan modiste, in which
the skirts hang with quite a graceful
amount of fullness from below the
hips.
One of these, for instance, is made in
nut brown cloth, very fine in texture
and light in weight. The underskirt is
plain and fairly full, while the tunic is
cut in vandyke points and edged quite
simply with some six or seven rows OF
fine stitching. The upper part of this
tunic, although it fits the figure beauS-
fully just below the waist, has the indie
scribable fullness and freedom which
mark the gown at once with the chic
distinction of novelty.
The coat bodice, which is very smartly
trimmed in front with double rows of
tiny gold buttons, may also be said to
mark new departure. In place of the
iaunty little basques which have been so
cminently characteristic of the smart
est coats this season, the jacket in ques-
ton has basques which are of some
seven or eight inches in depth and which
slope in front in a downward direction.
Several stitched strappings of cloth
trim the upper part of this coat and the
sleeves, as well as the rounded revers
while in front it shows, when open, a
very pretty underbodice of shocked
and gathered surah in a soft shade of
green, which harmonizes to perfection
with the brown of the cloth.-Washing-
ton Star.
