A High nark.


The New York Almanac for 1901,
issued by Chas. H. Fletcher Of New
York City, has set high mark for
similar publications during the new
century, and shows remarkable
enterprise on the part of the pub
Usher when we consider that it is
intended solely for free distribution.
The numerous publications of this
character are usually gotten up
with the single idea Of cheapness,
while the thought Of expense has
certainly been set aside in the
case of the New York Almanac.
The artistic colorings of the cover,
the accuracy of its calenders and
it's fund of information air go to
make it we'll worthy of perusal and
preservation. 1t has innumerable
hints for mothers as to the care OF
children. A unique page
is the "Baby's Record page,
which is in blank, to be filled in
with baby's name, date of birth, cut
first tooth, etc,
The whole is very creditable
peice of work and may be procured
at any drug store or direct on re-
quest, free.

Feb. 6, I, and 9, We're made last night
in De Board of Trade building, where
all rehearsals are to be held. Miss
Margaret Mel. Eager, who will train

during the evening. Many of the
chaperones were present and while the
dances are not all arranged as vet
there was promise of great enthusi-
asm. AS has been stated the enter

out the idea of the famous Marie An
toinette fete in the Petit Trianon in

of Russia. The royal personages and
the Court of Louis XVI. will be repre-
sented on the Lyceum stage and the
dances of nations with the magical H.
luminations there employed will b,
given.
The afternoon entertainments will be
by the children in the Pied Piper of

Browning. The children are requested
TO come to rehearsal this afternoon a,

THE BOSS OF THE SENATE.
Hanna Has No Particular Weight in
Senate Councils

T.. \. Coolidge in Ainslec's.
The political manager of the senate
is Aldrich, of Rhode Island. He is the
strategist to whom all Republicans look
for guidance. The Democrats have no
body to act as leader in the same way
that Aldrich acts for the Republicans.
German. of Maryland, was the Demo-
cratic leader while he was in the sem
ate. 1t takes peculiar qualities to lead
in the senate, and the men who have
had wonderful success in leadership
outside fall behind here, Mark Han
ma has influence because he is chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee and because, he is supposed at
times to express the preferences of th3
administration. But aside from this he
has no particular weight in the senate
councils. The men who decide on poll
cies and measures and determine what
shall be pushed to the front and what
passed over, are men who have grown
accustomed to The peculiar senate at
mosphere, and who understand the in
tricate ways of legislation. Aldrich Is
prince among these. Others are AL
lison Plat, Chandler, Lodge, McMil-
Ian and Carter.
