A Romance of the Football Field That Comes Out All Right.
 This is tale, vouched for by more than one person, although for obvious | reasons the names of the hero, the
 heroine and the grim and hard-headed rich old papa have been necessarily left l out A certain prominent member of a Frankfort athletic association, along with other young men of the town, was enamored of the lovely daughter of one of Frankford's wealthy business men. Now, this young man is not particu- larly burdened with this worlds goods,
 and among the other suitors were men of considerably more wealth, Yet the young woman, with the perversity of
 her sex, favored him more than the rest. Perhaps 1t was his winning ways or his manly, athletic proportions At any rate, she gave him to understand that, so far as she was concerned, rich es would not stand in the way of their union. Now, the parent is an enthusi- ast of the game. He knew the young man, was aware that he was football player of no mean stripe, and when he asked for his daughters hand. inti- mating delicately that it was for love alone he sought her. the old gentleman listened patiently to his story. Then, much to the suitor's surprise, he an- swered him thus: GO and score couple of goals for our team; then come and she me again."
 Highly elated. the young player bided his time. At last came the golden op- portunity. One Saturday afternoon several weeks ago his team was up aganst a powerful rival. Conspicuous among his fellow players was the young man. He was tower of strength to his team, and before the game was over, in a blaze of glory amid the plaudits of his friends who were little aware of the stake for which he was really playing, he skirted the ends for two touchdowns, kicking goal He could hardly wait to doff his uniform before he was at the home of his desired one. Succeeding in gaining an interview without delay, he right speedily did make the father acquaint- ed with the result of the game, not for getting to remind him of his promise.
 And now" said the father, tell me in what respect you differ from your rivals in seeking my daughters hand?"
 That is easily explained" said the football player, without a moments hesitation. "They loved for gold while I goaled for love"
 So pleased was the magnate with the young mans ready answer and his earnestness that he gave his consent then and there. Thus did the football player, by his wit and good playing win his bride and incidentally for tune of about $5O0O0 or so.-Philadel- phia Evening Telegraph.

 The senate committee on commerce has pushed the total of the river and harbor bill up to $79,0OO.OO0, and now the republicans threaten to pigeon-hole the bill if the ship subsidy bill is not passed. Democratic senators should do nothing to prevent that threat be- ing carried out.
 Congressman Brown, the Ohio re- publican who offered resolution pro viding for Philippine Independence and the re1inquishment of American sovereignty in the islands, need not expect that Mir Mckinley will pass any of the army commission pie to him.

It may be said, says one writer
 and that this justifies our interference. On the contrary, Cuba is the only coun- try on the continent to which we have given distinct pledges that her rela- highway of international equality and justice. If our word is worth any thing. we have pledged ourselves to establish her independence as soon as the country has been pacified; and that has been accomplished more than a year back. The country is more pro- foundly at peace than is America. It would be joyful news to our Imperial ists if they could charge upon her such acts of violence as have disgraced our own country during this past year. She has walked on the road of law and or der as finely as any country in the world, in spite of the presence of law less oppression within her bounds
 There is not an excuse left for delay in discharging the promise we made
 
 to the world and to her when we set out to fight Spain. A second and even graver suggestion of the distaste of the administration for Cuban inde- pendence is found in the program an- nounced by General Wood in his com munieadon to the convention. This military governor of Cuba is an es- pecial pet of this administration. He has been rushed from one grade of ar my rank to another with speed un- known in the history of the army, and Tumor desfgnates him as the possible successor of General Miles, when the time comes for q new lieutenant-sen- eral. He stands close to Mir Mckin- ley, and what he says carries q core spending weight. He tells the conven- tion to hurry through their work that it may be admitted to congress at the present session for it's approval, and thus the president may not>be obliged to call an extra session for that pur- pose. What has congress to do with approving the constitution of the Gu ban republic more than of the Mexican republic or the French republic. When did the American people confer upon congress such functions as this? II smacks of the French republic under Robespierre rather than of the repub lie founded by Washington and ruled by Lincoln. Shall we presently be sending out commissioners, like Citizer Genet, to take charge of the affairs o1 our neighbOrs. to tell Mexico or Chile l what we dislike in their form of gov ernment and to set aside the authority of their elected rulers when that suits us?

his post at Queen Victoria's bedside during her last hours has been made the subject of semiofficial explaaa- tion. The explanation is that the prince of Wales excused the premier from going, owing to the latter's in- different health. But Lord Salisbury's health is now notoriously better than for some years, and anyone who ob- served him the other day in the house of lords could see that he was quite hale, alert and vigorous. He was by far the least affected by the sad oc- currence of any speaker in either house during the vote of condolence proceedings.
 It is also interesting to recall that when Lord Salisbury was summoned to London from Hatfield house when the queens condition was grave it was stated on his behalf in the press 'under no circumstances is Lord Sails bury going to Osborne house''--a form of announcement which has strong significance in view of the rumors now current in the best informed cir cles respecting his relations with the king.
 f1 PllSy SOuHcllOI present. At the proclamation council states, in reply to inquiries, that the king and Lord Salisbury only saluted each other most perfunctorily, and that the duke of Devonshire Ghe lord president of the counciD was the Intermediary be- tween the king and the council throughout the ceremonial This has given rise to the impression that when Lord Salisbury retires the king will be able to persuade the duke of Devon shire to take the premiership, some thiGg the queen failed to do on two occasions.
 The Times, too, has gone out of it's way to tell the king that Lord Salis- bury is the only possible prime min ister, evidently fearing that rupture will take place immediately, thus add ing to the general confusion and trouble of the cabinet and country But it is unlikely g change can be delayed long.
 There is no doubt that the cause of the arrangement is. as stated before, Lord Salisbury spoke seriously to the prince of Wales about his mode of life and adjured him to surround him. self no longer by the most lax, friv- olous and brainless set in English so- ciety.

Paul Kruger's statement about the

Paul Kruger's statement about the cost to England of the South African war is becoming apparent every day. If England wins, it will be at q terrible cost. said Kruger. The last official re- turn, January 4. gave the number of British casualties as 51 ,6S7. In addi- ton, there are about 2O,00O cases be- ing treated in British hospitals i'll South Africa. Since the war began, over fifteen months ago, there have been some 2OOO civilian casualties. About 4.OOO Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders and Indians have been invalided to their respective homes. In addition, the Boers have taken and released about 2o,u00 Brit ish soldiers-many more than the Brit ish have taken from the Boers. Since January 4 there have been about 2,0OO additional casualties. including killed, wounded. diseased and returned inva- lids.

KING AND Il COUNTESS
My Lady of Warwick to Be Ed-
 ward VII.,s Chief Adviser.
'AfrAngement May Mean MuoA Good, for the CoaAtry = Premier Sa1is- bury's Hettrement Cannot Be
 Lon1 Delayed.

With view of getting . line on the direction in which King Edward. VII. is likely to influence public Hfe,, many persons in g. position to speak with such authority as is possible on the question have been interviewed. It is a surprise to find an agreement among the best authorities that no one is likely to influence the king so much in public matters as the coun- tess of Warwick. The common inn pression has been that their friend ship had waned, but it is stated that the king entertains the highest re- spect for the countess of Warwick's ability and sagacity; that he frequent ly consults her on difficulties he en. counters in guiding his public con. duet; in fact, that there is no one for whose judgment he entertains a high CT opinion.
 This really shows his discernment, says the New York World, for there is no woman of her rank and few others before the English public with more brains, energy or liberality of view than the countess. In fact, she is strongly inclined to radicalism. or, as she probably would call it, tory de- mocracy. "}
 Of late years the countess has ap. piled herself to all manner of good work, especially directed toward bet. tering the condition of that most neg ' lected and backward class of the Eng fish community, the agricultural la borer and small farmer.
 The work she has been doing for Warwickshire and adjoining counties has been initiated by the kings direc- ton in Norfolk with considerable suc- cess, but, lacking, as it does, the guiding hand of a woman both of in- tellect and good feeling, it cannot compare with what the countess has effected within her own sphere.

Leap Years in This Century.

Leap Years in This Century.
 Some curiosities concerning the new century have been collated by Rev. Prebendary W. A. Whitworth, the well-known vicar of All Saints Margaret street, London. It will have, for instance, 36,525 days, which Is one day more than the departing century could show, a difference due to the fact that 1900 is not & leap year, but 2o0O will be SO regarded. With regard to leap years it will be remembered that every year of only 365 days is too short by nearly six hours, but by having a leap year with its extra day every four years we should make every four years more than Il minutes too long. Some years, therefore, have to be left out, and the present calendar provides for only 97 leap years to occur in four cen turies, which reduces the average length of the year to 365 days five hours and 45 minutes 12 seconds, which, being only 22A seconds too long, may be considered, for all or dinary purposes, as corfect. This eN- plains why in the seven years 1s97- 1903 there is no leap year. As to the error of about 22N seconds in the average year, MT. Whitworth re- marks that it would take 1000 years to bring midsummer to Decem- ber-London Globe.
