HOUT THE ERS.

Some interesting facts about the brave and hardy people who have oecu- pied so much of the worlds attention of late are given in the New York Times as follows: "The Dutch have had the run of South Africa for three hundred years. The visible works of their gen. jus and their energy are these: They have founded two States, the Transvaal Republic and the orange Free State. With 120, ,000 square miles of territory the Transvaal Republic has a white population of 250,0O0. It has a public revenue of about 10000, 900 and spends it. Its people have put only 50,000 acres of it's soil under cultiva tion--less than a tenth of one per cent. of the total area. It does not produce food enough to sup port its people. Its exports, except of gold, are inconsderable.
 ''The Orange Free State has an area of nearly 5OO00 square miles and white population of less than 100000. The annual revenue of the State is $2,-

THE LONE SYAR STATE.

Texas, that vast state of our union
 as large as a big part of all Europe the state immortalized by the valiant Sam Houston and the defense Of the
 fields and renowned for it's belligerency against armed foes in it's war time days
 and against trusts in these later times
 of peace, this same Texas has now
 caught the industrial fever The Texan | excitement over trusts no doubt led the people there to ask themselves why they shouldn't have manufactories and
 other industrial works of their own.
 This industrial fever has been greatly
 developed by the discovery of the Tex
 ans that they had extensive beds of petroleum, the utilization of which has made many Texans very rich men. The state has gone ahead lately also in
 railroad building, quite noticeably, find ing good use for more roads In inereas-
 ing the distribution and exchange of
 products. Coal has become less costly
 there than formerly owing to the dis
 covery and working of coal mines in
 Kansas and the Indian Territory. Be-
 fore, the coal used in Texas had to come
 from places afar off. The Texan, more
 over has put on his thinking cap fur
 ther and decided that to have manu- featuring interests as well as agricul- tural interests to fall back upon for
 prosperity would be a mighty good
 thing. Texas also heard about the great success of the cotton mills in South and North Carolina and Georgia.
 This decided her that she must have cotton mills and now she has goodly number of them, all of which appear to be doing good business and adding to the states prosperity. Greatly en- couraged, Texas is going further and is now determined to have woolen mills and flour mills, stock yards and pack ing houses, and have Texas capital or ganize and run them. To this end pub lie meetings are being held and Texas patriotism and Texas pockets are being appealed to in true Texas fashion, and with very satisfactory and promising results. Texas will soon have trusts of her own in addition to her agricultural trust, which she has had in operation for some time. By and by Texas will l learn also that 1t is poor policy to legis- l late against her old railroad lines Just because Northern capital owns them.

months ago, but the dealers seem to have had that in mind and have pro- vided good many designs quite df- | ferent from the bandanna plaids and l stripes.
 i Milliners and makers of millinery supplies have been laying plans all winter for such a spring showing that every woman would be compelled to buy at least one hat. Nor have they forgotten the fashionable folk not yet in their teens For their dress-ups are hats with as distinct a look of new ness, if not quite so great elaborate ness, as is possessed by any grown-ups' headwear. Two such hats are shown here. The upper one was red and white straw with tam crown of plaid silk rib- bon. It was trimmed with loops of the ribbon and with white straw edged with pulled red chiffon. The other hat was dressier, and was corn colored straw with box-pleated brim. A large wreath of field flowers and wheel of gathered corn colored and white satin ribbon trimmed 1t.
 It was rather a surprise to see so many tulle hats in the displays made at the spring openings. but the milin- es evidently knew what they were about, for fashionable women are buy ing these hats. The hair fibre hats, too are going to be worn a great deal, but though newer than the others, are like ly to be outnumber. Spanish turbans are in hundred shapes, many of them so altered and adapted that not enough Spanish is left to have offended an American patriot two years ago.

 LIFE IN SAN DOMINGO.
There Are Some Drawbacks, But Many
 Tropical Delights.

There Are Some Drawbacks, But Many Tropical Delights.
 A special to the New York Tribune from San Domingo says San Domin- go City is enjoying business boom un- der the new administration. When the
 currency of the late president depreci-
 ated continually it nearly carried down
 every business house in the city. At his
 assassination the money became worth
 less and business was at standstil
 Many of the business houses closed up and many more did no business what
 ever. No one knew the future of the money and 1t had not even specula- tive value. Now with the new admin iStration installed and a value placed upon the silver, transactions are possi- ble. The twenty cents on the dollar at which the silver circulates is arrived at in a queer way. There is nine csnts' worth of silver in the dollar, it is said; 1t costs six cents a dollar to make and ship It here, and that no one can take chances on counterfeiting it for less than five cents. This added together, makes the twenty cents at which the dollar is accepted. This gives stability to the currency and permits business transactions, so there is general revi- val of business The stores have reo- pened and the foreign vessels are bring ing the- largest imports of recent years Still, the currency at it's gresent value does not permit of the purchase of many luuries and imports are confined large ly to machinery for sugar mills and ne cessary fabrics. Similar improvement is reported at other parts of the island. Increased customs receipts are also favorable sign.

Along this road for five miles out of | the city the wealth of the capitol has
 gathered. Beyond this the highway
 loses much of it's dignity, crosses the
 Gayna river on ferry and loses itself
 in narrow paths winding through the I San Crstobal Mountains. On either
 side out from the city for five miles are
 magnificent tropical homes. The houses are modern, of the usual West Indian architecture, one story, with wide ve-
 randas, and windows that are really doors, devoid of glass and opening on hinges. Twenty or thirty acres of ver- dure surround the homes. There are
 cocoanuts, oranges, Times and mangoes
 in abundance. The almond tree, the royal palm, the cactus and the laurel
 add their foliage to the beauty of the scene. Wide drives lead from the high way to the homes and hedges adorn the roadside. At the rear of the houses, on the left, the Carribean Sea dashes against the rocks, throwing the spray into the air fifty feet or more. A balmy breeze catches 1t and carries 1t till it disappears in mist.
 The tourist wonders where could be found more ideal spot for home and happiness. Many of the homes cost fortune. The furniture, of the most ex- pensive sort, came from Paris. The pi- ano Is of Parss make, and almost every home has a soh or daughter in some Parisian school But the life of luxury and comfort does not seem to give the happiness all are seeking for, and the pf hGQfftff1f1 unrr1pq fire of the endless monotony and quiet, and long for a home next door to boiler shop, with a fire engine house just across the street. The complaint at the tiresome monotony of the life on the part of those who have lived elsewhere is almost universal.
 The electric light plant which lights this road and the homes and the city seems not to be amenable to heaven, to the municipality or to the private con- sumer. Apparently the owners are the leaders of fashion, and it is the proper thing to use the light But the ad- vantage that the company has Is that the consumer pays for his light whether he gets 1t or not. Coal is not one of the products of the island. When the conn pany forgets to order coal, the light goes out, and stays out until an order is sent and the coal, in the course of two weeks arrive. But the bills go on forever. For two weeks last month there was no coal. Then the moon came and relieved the municipality of it's pail of darkness, but the monthly bills were not diminished. The light Is fairly good, but the cost Is large.

THE TWO CHuRcHILLs.

With the appearance of Winston
 Spencer Churchill In the field as nov
 elist one is more likely than ever to
 mistake his personality for that of
 Winston Churchill without the middle
 name author of "The Celebrity" and
 Richard Carvel." So long aa the
 young Engllshman contented himself
 with the laurels of war correspondent,
 it was comparatively easy for the public
 to Keep them distinct, but now that
 both are novelists new crop of mis-
 understandings may be expected. Once
 more, then, the Winston Churchill who
 wrote Richard Carvel," is a young
 American, a native of St. Louis, who,
 after graduating from the naval acad- emy at Annapolis, left the navy for lit-
 erature, and, after serving on the, edi-
 torial staff of the Cosmopolitan, wrote a clever society novel, "The Celebrity"
 which prepared the way for his larger
 historical romance, Richard Carvel," which, if not one of the marvels of It, erature, is at least the wonder of the book trade.
 Though not quite thirty, the Ameri- can author is three years older than his English namesake, who is the son of Lady Randolph Churchill, and so half American himself. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, to give him the ben eft of all his names, became first known to the world at large by his bril- liant book, With the Malakand Field Force," describing the hard campaign on the northern frontier of India in 1879. He found that the pen gave him larger opportunity than the sword. and after following Lord Kitchener's Soudan ex- pedition in 1898 as correspondent, he wrote large and important book, "The River War" which would have attracted more attention if 1t had not appeared soon after the outbreak of the war with the Transvaal This gave him an even more notable chance for however, and thus far he IS the only Englishman who has particlpa- ted in the war that has made any great fame out of 1t. His capture, after a gallant defense of wrecked armored train, and hls escape from Pretoria, fastened the eyes of all the world upon lim, and if his taste for hazardous ad- venture does not get him into mora seri- )us trouble we may expect from him an brilliant narrative when l he war iS Oyer
 But in the meantime he has in some | singular fashion found leisure between 1 lis campaigns to try his hand at a nov { sl, "Savrola, Tale of the Revolution in | and it is not at all to the l iiscredit of writer who has done and ] written such brilliant things at so early Tn age, to say that at the art of fiction le is still an apprentice. Still. the york is a spirited little romance of a modest sort, and it is hoped that it is put the earnest of better things to come. MT. Churchill ought to be ad- nirably equipped to write the great

Handkerchiefs Of bandanna size in fringed taffeta are very pretty and not so expensive as those of panne velvet. Though not quite so rich as the velvet, they are just as modish in their way. Handkerchiefs not quite so large made of soft printed India silk are quite the thing to pass around the collar, knot ting loosely in front or passing through some quaint ring. In millinery these handkerchiefs will bear a brilliant part
 and are sure to be, if they are not too promptly made popular, the rage for trimming sailor hats. They do remind one a little of the bandannas. of some

PROMOTION BY MERIT,

One of the most commendable feat
 ures of Secretary Roots bill for the reorganization of the army is that which provides that after time the old order of things as regards promotion shall be changed and that then one third of the field officers of the line shall be selected from the grade next
 below, while the other two- thirds shall continue to succeed by seniority. Here Is reform long needed in the army. There is no propriety in the promotion of an inferior officer over much more efficient and capable officers just be- cause the latter are below him in rank
 The old and long prevailing method still in vogue dulls hope and ambition in the breasts of under officers for they see small chance for promotion except in the slow and uncertain process of the old order of things. Seniority in rank, not fitness or efficiency governs promotion, and this is discourage cement to brave, competent and efficient under officers, who see little chance of pro- motion until they have grown gray in the service. MT. Roots bill offers the under officers an incentive. The bill is not sweeping in character. It is very conservative, as only one-third of the prom otiOnS are to he made bV selection So if the bill goes into effect it is though only 6 33 13 per cent. in gain over the old methods, great step in the direction of romotion by merit.

Democrats have their troubles as well as Republicans. The New Britain Herald says: We must confess that we really cannot see why sixteen to one should be kept alive as an issue in this years campaign. And yet there are men, supposed to be sane, who insist on making the contest on a question that has been settled and is regarded as out of the way by the country Much of this sentiment doubtless arises from the Bryan worshippers, who look upon their idol and the ratio as one. If the ratio is put on the shelf Bryan might have to go with it, and that will never do, so sixteen to one will re- main, just to furnish footing for Bryan, and the Democratic party must attempt to defend it, in order to get the services of Bryan as a candidate. He comes high. but as it now stands, the majority are saying that we must have him."

The break in International Paper shares yesterday was generally attribu- ted to adverse legislation against the company in different parts of the coun- try and to the general weakness of trust stocks.

Paper common, which sold yesterday at IA, was 6s1s in January of last year. and the preferred 95.
