Last winter there was much gossip in
social circles over the disappearance or
numerous articles of value after large re-
ceptions and dinner parties at the houses
of well-known society leaders, and several
interesting stories We're told in regard TO
certain kleptomaniacs, says the WashinS-
ton correspondence of the New York Mail
and Express. Although the present sea
son is still young, a remarkable case Of
this kind has already come to light
A charming young woman, well known
in social circles at the capital, bought
during the summer a very handsome seal
skin coat. The first occasion she had
to wear 1t was to an evening reception
given in Washington during the present
winter. She left her coat in the dress
ing-room and enjoyed herself immensely
during the evening She was among the
last to leave, but when she went to get
her coat she found it had disappeared,
and in its place was an old and decidedly
shabby substitute.
With tears in her eyes, she hurried to
her hostess and told her of the loss. OF
course, this lady was greatly shocked, and
had a search made for the missing ar
ticle But the coat was gone, and the
guest was obliged to take the old shabby
one in its place. The next day she re-
ceiyed polite note from her hostess of
the evening before, expressing sincere re-
greet that such an awkward incident
should have happened at her house. and
adding that no trace had been found Of
the missing garment.
During the holidays the lady happened
to mention her loss to a well-known New
York furrier, who suggested that it was
the custom among all well-regulated es-
adjustments on selling valuable skin to
write thereon the name of the purchaser
and the date of the purchase, and that,
perhaps, she could tell the owner of the
old seaskin coat in this way, and thus
trace the fate of her new coat. Acting
on this hint the lining of the old gar
ment was ripped out, and there on the
skim in plain letters. though somewhat
worn by age, was the name of her hostess
on the eventful evening.

There is still a great deal of speculation
as to whether the cotton crop of the sea-
son of 1sOO-19O1 will be above or below
10, 900 900, bales. Some hgures in the latest
circulars sent out by the cotton brokers
on this interesting subject are interesting.
1t seems that the number of bales that
were in sight up to and including Dec.
81 last was 6,55l 900. At the end of
December 1899 the percentage of the crop
that had been received was s2.71. This
was the smallest. percentage in IS years.
Applying this to the number of bales
received this season. the present seasons
crop would appear to be 1O,446.5 500 bales.
But, as a matter of fact is ii not the
understanding that the percentage OF the
crop marketed thus far this season Is con-
siderably larger than that for the like
period in many previous years? The larg-
est percentage Of the crop marketed by
the end of December for any year during
the last sixteen years was 1892. Apply
log it to the n{m6er OF Bales in sight at
the end of last December, the present
seasons crop Is made to be 100000 bales.
But suppose we take the average for
the last sixteen years-the average per-
centage-and apply it to the number OF
bales received up to the end of December
last, and what is the result? This av-
erase is 7.S5, and it gives us 9,1Sl,5O0
bales.
And is it not more reasonable to take
the average than the highest or the low
est? The brokers are of course anxious
to stir up speculation. The more specu-
lation there is the better it is for them,
but 1t does seem as if the facts were
against a crop larger than 10000, 900 bales
Indeed, the conclusions to be drawn from
comparisons between the receipts this
season up to and including Dec. 81, and
those for the same period of previous
years, are that the crop for the present
season will be considerably below 1O,OOO,-
co., bales. 1t is true there was a great
deal said during October, November and
even December about cotton being held
back, but it is doubtful if these reports
rested upon a very solid foundation
Assuming that the crop will be below
100000 bales what are the chances for
an increase in the price of cotton? 1t
seems 10 US they are good.

Mark Twain is not the only man of let
tiers who has bested the hackdriver, says
the New York Press Sir Walter Be
SAINT is said to have once settled a dis
puted cab fare in a novel manner. He
drove from Piccadilly to some place in
the suburbs outside the radius. On get
ting down he rendered to the driver three
shillings and sixpence, which was a little
over the proper fare. The man, how
ever. wanted five shillings. Besant refus-
ed.
I'D like to fight you for it," said the
driver
THE very thing" said Besant, who had
never in his life put on boxing glove,
and was almost as ignorant as Pickwick
even of the fighting attitude.
1.-THE very thing! Capital! Well have
the fight in the back garden. My brother
will look on, hold the stakes and see fair!"
The cabman got down slowly, as if he
did not quite care about it after all. He
followed into the garden, where there was
a lovely bit of green turf. Besant placed
the five shilings in his friends hands,
took off his waistcoat and rolled up his
sleeves-all with an air of cheerful alac-
rity.
Now, my friend said he, 81 am ready
as soon as you are" His anxiety was
great but it decreased as he watched the
claimants face express successfully all the
emotions of bounce, surprise, doubt, hes
itation and abject cowardice.

THE LAwsHE REPORT.

The Senate and the Secretary of War
have got into tangle over the report of
Abraham L. Lawshe on the situation in
Cuba. The Senate wants the report, ana
the Secretary is determined 1t shall not
have it. Senator Bacon introduced the
resolution directing the Secretary to sen1
it 10 the Senate tie had been informed
that it contained some very interesting
reading regarding the expenditure of Gu.
ban funds. and he thought the Senate,
and perhaps the country, ought to be
made acquainted with Mr.. Lawshes dis
coveries
Mr.. Bacon's resolution was unani-
mously adopted. The Republican senators
are not now. however, so anxious for it.
Apparently they have learned that it
does not reflect any credit on the ad-
ministration or the Republican party. 1t
is not clear what course the Senate with
pursue in the matter. In all probability
It will drop 1t. The Republicans are in
the majority and they are not going to
do anything that would injure their party.
1t is probable that the Senate could
find means to compel the Secretary
Of War to comply with the resolution If
it had to deal only with him, but if it
should take other steps to get the report
the President would, in all probability.
step forward and say that he considered
1t incompatible with public interests to
make the report public. In that event the
Senate would be at the end of its re-
sources in the matter.
Naturally there is 2 good deal Of in
terest to know what the report contains.
II is thought there would not be such
anxiety to keep it secret If there were not
a great deal in it that reflects injuriously
on the administration. The fact that 1t
is kept from the public justifies the con.
clusion that it is not the kind of a docu-
ment that gives the President and his
party pleasure.
1t would not be surprising If there had
been a great deal more stealing in Cuba
than that which is charged against Nee
ly. An accounting will have to be made
at some time, however. and then the
truth will come out. If Senator Bacon
waits awhile there will be no occasion TO,
him to introduce a resolution into the
Senate to find out whether or not the
Cuban fund has been honestly admins
tered. The Cuban people themselves, when
they get control of their affairs, will de.
mand strict accounting.

In the lobby of the House two members
of Parliament were discussing the honor
being paid to Ireland and Irish troops,
says Spare Moments.
One was a Scotchman, the other an
Irishman.
The man from Scotland said, condo
scendingly:
ITS a very weel to praise the Irish
soldiers" and he proceeded to explain
that While he was glad they were to wear
the shamrock on St. Patrick's Day, t
must not be forgotten that the Highland
ers had been fighting bravely, too; they
expected no special mark of favor for
their services, they were always ready
to brave death for their Queen, and their
loyalty was beyond reproach.'
The Irshman interrupted Indignantly:
Il would have ye know, sorr,' he cried
there's as thrue a heart beats under an
Irish soldiers tunic as beneath any High
lander's kiltr'
In less than ten minutes the story had
gone round the house.

An Irish Bird.

A yourg friend of mine, when visiting
in the suburbs. few miles from Boston
stopped to make some inquiries, says a
writer in the Boston Transcript. Her
knock at the door was answered by a
happy faced roly-poly Irishwoman, who
invited her into the best room. After
little talk her hospitable hostess asked
her if she would Ike to hear a few tunes
on her new organette, and receiving as
sent, she played some popular airs of the
day. When engaged in playing, all at
once she said in a rich brogue: "Oh, but
yur from the church and ye'd loike some
sacred music" And while playing hymn
she stopped turning the crank and said
pathetically: God was allus good to me.
| well moind the day when l was on the
roof hxin the window bin felt myself
slipping and I thot o. them jagged rocks
by the doorstep, what if I'd fall on them
rocks! But l landed in snow bank, and

4 GREAT PROBLEM OF GOVERN

A great government problem-national
state and municipal-is how to keep exN

their own business affairs become reck-

lty The Willingness TO squander the pub
lie money is so great as to be the SUBJ
ject Of general comment
Gov. Odell, of New York, who was in
augurated on Jan. l, states that it is his
purpose to reduce the expenses of run
ming the state government at least a mil
lion dollars. Nobody believes he will do it,
not because he does not want to, but be-
cause ne cannot. The Legislature won't
let h m. 1t is said that there are hundreds
of persons drawing salaries from the
state who render no service that the
state couldn't do without or at least thai
couldn't be done by far less force than
Is now engaged in doing it. Place after
place has been made in order that IA

have been made to reduce the number Of
ofIiceholders and to cut down salaries
that are out of all proportion 60 the SER
vices rendered, but without success. Gov.
Roosevelt went into office with a deter

but ne accomplished nothing towards re
ducing the cost of government Every at
tempt he made to lop Off useless offices
was stoutly resisted, and SO success
fully that he made no record in the di-
rection OF cutting down expenses. The Of
fceholders proved themselves to be
stronger than he was.
And it is practically certain that Gov
Odell will find himself as strongly and
as successfully opposed as Gov. Roose-
welt was He will make a show of econ
omy. but will soon become tired of strug
Cling against the forces which are looting
the state treasury.
But evidently something will have to be
done to lower the tax rate before long
1t is said that in many parts of the state
real estate has fallen greatly in price
because it has ceased to be profitable
Taxes are so high that 1t yields little or
no income. A point will be reached after
while, however, when radical measures
will be adopted to effect reform People
who now pay little or no attention 10
politics will have to become active politn

erty from conhscation. They may have
to do even more than that.
