The Purchase of the Danish West
 Indies,

New Orleans Picayune.
 The announcement comes from Europe
 Denmark has finally decided to accept the offer of the United States for the
 purchase of the Danish West India ls-
 lands, known as St. Crolx, St Ihomas
 ing S3, ,5OO GOO. It is stated that, although
 the Danish government considered the
 price low, 1t was expedient to accept the
 offer, as the islands were unprohtable.
 Although. there has been no official
 confirmation of the decision of the gov
 ernrnent of Denmark there is no reason
 marks acquiescenc was expected, and
 it is known that the Washington gov
 ernment made the offer. subject to the
 approval of Congress. or course, the
 til Congress agrees to it and appropri-
 ateB the money.
 These Danish islands are to the east
 ward of Porto Rico, and are or consid- crahlc strategic importance. The har-
 bor of St. Thomas is splendid location
 for coaling and naval station, as 1t Is
 elements and easily defended. The Uni-
 ted States made overtures to Denmark for the purchase of these islands many
 years ago, and has always coveted St. Thomas as a naval coaling station. The acquisition of Porto Rico and our prac- tical suzerainty over Cuba makes the acquisition of the Danish islands more l than ever important.
 Unlike our other land-grabbing vent ures of recent years, the acquisition of the Danish West India Islands cannot be considered the outcome of the ex- pansionist and imperialistlc policy of the government. The purchase of the islands | is a direct and inevitable result of the | Monroe doctrine. These islands having l become unproftable to Denmark she i has been anxious to dispose of thc.n. We could not either in justice or equity, re- | fuse to permit other countries to buy | inc islands if we refused to purchase | ourselves As 1t would be dangerous to l ClIr pres .fge. as well as to our traditional policy to permit the islands to become | the property of any of the European | movers other than their present owner, | tht.reaF as nOr ether alternative but to bid for them ourselves.
 Aside from this view of the case. how ever the islands are well worth purchas- ing if for no better reason than to se- Ctre the fine harbor of St. Thomas for commercial purposes. As already stated, if has long been coveted for d coaling .tatiou. and Denmark was asked to sell long before expansion was dreamed of There is very little danger of Congr.ss rpfuging To appropriate the purchase n-Ire. IS no good argument can be urged against the transaction, either economic or poIitical hence it is to be assumed that sometime during the coming year inc formal transfer of the three islands from Danish to American Jurisdiction will take place.

THE NEED OF CHANGE. What to Do When One Cannot Afford
 Summer Vacation.

Philadelphia Record.
 Change of scene, change. of occupation. diet, are all important at this season; and the summers rest may he secured from these changes even when an ex- pensive outing or the usual summer vaea- ton can not. he afforded. No woman who has never. tried it can conceive Of the rest and pleasure resulting from chahge of some sort.
 Sameness is not only fatal to health, but to. good spirits and contentment.. It Is said that the reason prima donnas and dramatic stars carry their years lightly ~and keep their good looks so long of changes in their lives-of climate. diet companiouship and immediate environ menis Brain and body gratefully re- sound, there is no chance for flag.
 All the world cannot have timely changes of scene and air, and the ques- ton arises: What shall we do about 1t? That much can be done there is no doubt and the resting of eye and brain by changes In the aspects of our homes Is one of the most telling.
 Make such changes as are possible by rearranging rooms in the matter or 1ur- niture, pictures, ornaments, etc. Do some thing. anything, to rest eye and brain from dead-level monotony.
 1t Is said that marked cases of insomnia have been cured by changing from one sleeping room to another. The. wise wo- man will also change her family dietary as completely as possible as the seasons change,
 which is nearly as restful as change from doing The work of the year can cer- tainiy be so divided that monotony may be absolutely broken. A change of en- vironmentsi even if to others less at tractive, Is beneficial, simply because It is q change. Let the most famous cook among housewives. when phgsioally Q de: pressed, dine or lunch with. q friend, and she will be astonished at the amount of appetite that comes to her even though the viands do not meet hcr>idea of excel- lence
 Let a change of some sort be planned by every housewife during the hot wealth CT, and If the bi change of scene Is not possible, numerous little every day changes as suggested may prove quite as hapafiaiat

"Something New Under the Sum-"

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
~cid gases, inhalers and drugs in
paste form. Their powders dry up
the mucuous membranes causing

have entirely eaten away same
membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and
ointments cannOt reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made
close study and speciality of the
treatment of CATARRH, has at last
perfected a Treatment which when
faithfully used, at only relieves at
once, but permanently cures CA
TARRH, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing
all inflammation. IT is the only
remedy known to science that actu-
ally reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as
"oNUFFLEs the GuaranteedCATARAH

IDAHO REPUBLICANS
representatives of the Party
Meet at Boise.

Last Monday and Tuesday wit
messed the gathering in Boise of
representatives of the Republican
party of Idaho. The meeting in
cluded nearly all the leaders of the

ator Shoup who, after twenty years
of service, desired to lay aside the
cares and burdens of the position
to take a well-earned rest. Mr..

ment of his successor to the party
organization so that the new com
mitteeman would represent the
whole party in fact as well as in
name.
The call included the delegates
to the last national convention, the
state central committee, and the
chairmen of the county central
committees. To this body was
afterwards added the members of
the executive committee of the
state committee.
The meeting was called to order

ties of Senator SLoup, and coun-
seled wisdom in the selection of his
successor.

mittees, the first days proceedings
closed with an adjournment until
10 d. M, Tuesday, to await the ar
rival of the senator.
The following were the COM
mittees as appointed:

The resolutions adopted were as
follows:
"Be it resolved by the represen-
tatives of the republican party here
assembled, That fully recognizing
the patriotic services renderedin the
state By Senator George l.. Shoup
throughout his long term of pub
lie service, we learn with regret Of
his final determination to retire
from his place as the representa-
tive of this state upon the repub-
liCan national committee, and we
realize the difficulty of the task en-
trusted to US of recommending
as his successor one who can so
ably discharge the duties devolving
upon this important place; be it
further
Resolved, that this convention
has the fullest confidence in the in
tegrity of Senator Shoup and the
highest appreciation of his distin
guished public services. We re-
alize that he has served public in
terests faithfully, often neglecting
his private interests for the public
welfare, and we hereby acknow-
ledge our appreciation of this un-
selfish devotion to interests of this
young state and the highest esteem
in which he is held by all people,
without regard to party utilization"
The committee on permanent or
ganization recommended that the
temporary organization remain per-
manent. Their report also showed
that those present represented 81
votes, some being entitled to more
than one vote according to the
different capacities in which they
served. The rules provided for an
informal ballot.

The meeting of the directors of New
York's Ohio Society at the rooms of
the organization in the Waldorf-Asto-
ria Saturday evening was made the oc-
casion for a private view of President
McKinley's latest portrait It IS a life
size study in oils, and Is the work of
the we'll known portrait painter, Lii
liam Thomas, former resident of
Columbus, Ohio, but now living in New
York. She has the distinction of be-
ing the only woman who ever painted
a portrait of President of the United
States. The President is portrayed
seated in a large armchair, the right
hand resting on his knee, while the left
reaches across the corner of his writ
ing table, and he leans forward as Ii
in conversation. The calm forehead
and strong repose of the lines of the
mouth emphasize the attitude of at
tention. The artists success is found
In the fact that she made ner most
important studies for the portrait not
in the tedious moments of formal pos
ing, but while seated in an out-of-the-
way corner of the Presidents Office

HAIR WORN DE-coL-ITAY.

AS the years keep piling on US, yet we
claim that we are young
And the term "old man. Indignantly
resent!
We are active in our motions and are
frisky with the tongue,
And lot of time before the glass is
spent
We may think the tricks Of toilet make
US look like youngish men,
Preparations to prevent US turning
gray,
But the cat jumps from the burlap and
the truths apparent when
We begin to wear our hair de-col-i-tay!
We may win admiring chances and per-
chance a friendly smile
From the fair ones whose attention we
would court;
They may fail to note our ages as they
contemplate our style,
And may think Us young enough for
flirting sport,
But they have no sweet enticements in
their store for aged men
When the signs Of age they can not
hide away,
And they turn US down instanter with
their arctic glances when
We begin to wear our hair de-col-i-tay!
There is not the least attraction in a
nude and CHASTITY head,
Though It's polished till it shines with
brilliant sheen,
Not a smile is wasted on 1t save the ones
so freely shed
Ger the footlights by the comic opera
queen,
IT'S an exhibition fruitful for the puns-
ter's pointed pen
That exudes it's sap of fun day after
day
Oh! they have no heart or mercy for the
aging fellow when
He begins to wear his hair de-co1-i-tay.
We may hide the pale exposure under
meath a flowing wig,
But the hairy fake will never, never
win.
For the charming ones soon tumble to
the artificial rig
And salute it with cold, disdainful
grin,
All the arts of gross deception can not
give us youth again.
To our faith we can but bow in grace
full way,
For there's surely no escape from being
ranked as has beens when
We begin to wear our hair de-col-i-tay.
