averred that when two milleniums had
passed North Carolina, going forth to

of the most vehemenent opponents of
the war.
do not know what Mrs. Pitcher is
like, but If she bear any resemblance
TO her sister she must be woman of
great attractions, for Miss Maude
Come is one of the handsomest wom-
EN- in the world. Extremely tall for
woman-she must be ut least six
feet high-with fine, beautifully
proportioned figure, with regular fea-
lures, lustrous black eyes and deli
cate complexion. Miss Maude Come
attracts attention wherever she goes.
She oscillates between Paris and
Dublin, is called in the French cap
ital the Joan OF Arc of the Irish Revo-
luton, makes hot and strong speeches
in Ireland, is of the same stuff as pro-
duced the Madame Rolands of the
French Revolution.
At present she is in the United
States lecturing in favor of the Beers.
In regard to her mission here she said,
recently: "I came to America to lec-
ture in behalf of the Beers and to stir
up if possible a pro-Boer sentiment
among the Americans. At least, such
was my idea when 1 left the other side,
for the English papers had led me to
believe that America was wholly with
the English in the present conflict,
but from what have seen and heard
since my arrival, have come to tho
conclusion that America is in sympathy
with the Beers. The English press
has great habit of suppressing news
that they regard as unfavorable to
England, and this false report of tho
public sentiment of America is only
another instance of it. The sympathy
Of Ireland is wholly with the Beers in
their present struggle for liberty, and
It warns our hearts to know that this

No one would ever have predicted
from the pnrentage and surroundings
o Miss Come in early life that she
would fill such place in the world
as she does, or even that her views
could possibly be what they are. Her
father was an Irish colonel in the
British army, classed as an Orange
man, aristocratic and conservative.
Her people belonged to the viceregal
circle, and from the time of her enter
ing society she was reigning belle at
the Dublin court.

GOVERNORS HOUSE, AGANA.

One OF the first things evident to us
is the decided ahtipathy of the natives
for the Filipinos. There are few of them
upon the island, and these are not at
all regarded with favor. In truth,
they seem to be quite as urruly here
as they are in their home, and their
qualities make them about the only
disturbing element in this peaceful,
ll-disposed people. The only pris-
oner in the Jail of the place was an

For Spring Millinery.

A basic fact of Importance in the
millinery line is the probability, al
most amounting to certainty, that the
new hats will be higher in price than
ever, owing to the increased cost of
everything employed in their making.
That flowers are to prevail in hat
trimming seems assured. Some Paris
models are made wholly of the smaller
blossoms. A Spanish turban, for in
stance, is all of violets, with the
stems drawn over the edges to form a
facing. The crown is of violet leaves
with drapery OF lace around it. The
brim is wide in front aud narrow at
the back.

combination with flowers of the larger
varieties. A toque of white tulle,
