The Way They Do 1t in London.

A big man, whose dress and complex
ionion were thoroughly English. stood on
the Second avenue curb between Thirty
second and Thirty-third streets and
looked at the store windows, says the
New York Tribune. There was a pleas
ed expression on his face Turning to a
man who stood near him, he said:
This reminds me of dear old Lon
DON"
The other man could not see anything
out of the way, but he had never been
to London and couldn't be expected to
know.
What's the matter with your" he
asked. IF you want to see real fog,
go down on the Battery next fall
WHO said anything about a fog?" re-
turned the Englishman. II was speak
ing about the shop windows, don't you
know. This big shop might be on Ok

the way the windows are dressed. Don't
you see that they have everything close
up to the window glass. and that the
gas jets which light up the display are
on the outside? That's the way English
shopkeepers do It, Our windows are not
intended to entce people into buying
a lot of things they don't want by max
ing an attractive display. They serve as
a catalogue of what the shop has to SELL"
The American went on TO the next cor
ner and looked at a real American dis
play. Then he saw the difference.

Not long ago I had occasion to go to

the railroad for political reasons The

He Took n Mean Revenge.

A well dressed young man was sitting
in a Fifth avenue stage coach trying to
win glance of approval from a patrician
maiden who sat opposite. says the New
York Tribune. In climbed an elderly
Frenchman hearing a ''jag''-ot enough
to bother him, but just enough to bother
others. He carried in his hand a copy
of a magazine containing an Istallment
OF Capt. Dreyfus' heart-rending story,
Five Years Of My Life" and he was
just bursting to talk about it. He had
hardly settled in his seat when he lean
ed forward impressively and placing a
hand upon the knee of the young man.
exclaimed:
"Ah Eat Devils Island Terrible, was
it not?"
The patrician maiden, observing the
familiar action, thought the men must
be acquainted, and with tlp-tilted nose
looked scornfully at the young man and
his booty friend. This made the young
man angry. He was weary of the whole
Dreyfus episode, anyway, and he deter
mined on revenge. Gazing stolidly into
the eyes of the Frenchman. he replied:
What's the matter with the place?
Cold climate?"
NO! Nor exclaimed the Frenchman
In surprise. 1T has the heat-the awful
heat all the year! 1t almost burst his
brain!'

How could he come away?" asked
the Frenchman, sarcastically. His jail-
ers would not let him, of courser'

mans eyes rolled in his head. Have you

and his voice rose even above the clat-
ter of the pavement.
Who is this you are talking about?"
asked the young man. coldly.
'Dreyfusi Dreyfus, of coursep' yelled
the Frenchman, slapping the magazine
against his knee with so loud report
that the patrician maiden jumped.
Who is Dreyfus?"
What! You know not Dreyfus?''
Never heard of him in all my life.
Tell me about him. said the young man
without the CULVER of an eyelid.
But this was too much for the French
man. Mon Dieur' he muttered. 1T ISIS

poop. He know nothings at all and 1 have
passed my corner talking to a zero. Let

one look of contemptuous pity upon the
young man, he descended the steps wild
eyed and indignant, and made his de-
vious way out of sight, almost frothing
at the mouth.

THE WORK ON THE FAIR.

The preparations for the fair are pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The interest
in the fair is steadily increasing.
There is a growing enthusiasm in re-
gard to it throughout the state. There
is no doubt that very many of the
counties will have exhibits. Since the
list of premiums was published there
has been a very noticeable activity
among farmers of a number of coun-
ties.
A great many people are coming to
the city now on excursions. Every one
of them is inquiring about the fair, and
all of them will help to advertise it.
These excursions are bringing people
from all along the Central, the Plant
System, the Seaboard Air Line and
the Georgia Railroad. During the fair
there will no doubt be excursions from
every part of the state, and the city
will be so full of people that the hotels
and boarding houses will have all they
can do to accommodate them. The
point of interest Just now, however. is
that the work on the fair grounds is
going forward favorably, and that the
outlook for the fair is in every way
encouraging.

THE TILLMAN-McLAURI CoNTRo-
VERSY


The controversy between Senators
Tillman and McLaurin of South Caro-
lima, which attracted so much atten-
ton a month or SO ago, appears to
have dropped out of sight. AS far as
we have observed Senator Tillman has
had nothing to say in reference to any
political matter since the action of the
Democratic state convention of Ohio.
1t is probable that his friends expected
that he would express his opinion of
the platform adopted by the Ohio Dem
ocrats pretty freely.
Does the course pursued by the Ohio
Democrats have any bearing on the
situation in South Carolina? Does it
strengthen the position occupied by
either of the Senators of that state? 1t
is true of course that Senator McLau-
rims position is not in entire accord
with the platform of the Ohio Demo-
Gratis, but it viii be easier for him to
so modify his position as to get in har-
mony with 1t than it will be for Sen
ator Tillman to adjust himself to it.
Senator Tillman is in close sympathy
by Mr.. Bryan. He believes in standing
squarely on the Kansas City platform.
1t was due largely to this attitude of
his that differences between him and
Senator McLaurin cropped out. He in
sisted that Senator McLaurin was
things, the latter refused to be bound
by the declarations of that platform.
Now that the Ohio Democrats have
refused to be bound by them, and the
indications being that the Democrats
of many of the other states will re-
fuse to be bound by them, will he still
insist that Senator McLaurin is not a
Democrat because he finds fault with
the Kansas City platform? 1t looks
very much as if the action of the Ohio
Democrats and the probable action of
the Democrats of other states would
have very decided influence on the
political situation in South Carolina.
If this view is a correct one it ex-
plains why Senator Tillman has been
so quiet since the convention of Ohio
Democrats. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if he were studying the political
sentiment thoroughly before continuing
his fight with Senator McLaurin.
Senator Tillman is very shrewd
politician. He wants to know the views
of his constituents before deciding
upon any political move. He wants to
feel that he has the people at his back,
giving him a hearty support.
All the indications now are that the
course marked out by the Ohio Demo-
Gratis will be pretty generally followed
by Democrats of other states. Prom
inent Democrats from many sections
of the country have been heard from,
and their talk is in favor of following
the Ohio Democrats. Assuming that
they will be followed Senator .Tillman
will have a much harder task to down
Senator McLaurin than he would if the
Democratic party were still dominated
by Mr.. Bryan.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle Dem) says:
the country ever saw. standard Ohio wool
is now cheaper than 1t was before the
Dingley tariff rates were adopted. The
protective" tariff, instead of stimulat-
ing wool prices, has stimulated phenom-
enany the production of cheaper substi-
tutes for wool. Science and enterprise
have caused various treatments of other
fibers in such a way that the world is
getting along with less wool than it for
mery needed. The fiocks are decreasing in
number and the wool supply Is falling
off. Yet the price goes down and down.
Ohio fieeces which were worth IS cents
a pound in 1900 are now worth but q
cents a pound And the professional
wool growers. are saying that they must
have a still higher tariff. They learn
nothing. They would find that a higher
tariff would have the effect to increase
still more the supply of substitutes for
wool. AS the tariff on wool goes up the
prices of wool win come down"

1t is stated in a Washington dispatch
to the New York World that it is the
intention of our government to retain
possession of MORO Castle. which
guards the entrance to the harbor of
Havana. There is nothing in the Plat
amendment about retaining this IA
nous fortress, and 1t is certain that
there has never been anything said in
Congress about retaining it. On whose
authority then is it TO be retained?
Has the President authority TO say
that the American flag shall continue
to wave over it after Cuba has gov
eminent of her own? 1t is doubtful,
and If he hasn't, it is hardly probable
that Congress will authorize possession
OF the fortress to be retained.
1t seems to US that Cuba went to
the limit when her constitutional con-
vention accepted the Platt amendment.
The convention would never have ac-
cepted that amendment IL it had not
been apparent that it was really for
the best interests of Cuba. But the
retaining possession of Moro Castle
anu thS hCtPAbS VI "a SdiAloOiA thCAV
are totally different matters. 1t would,
in effect, mean that Cuba was not in
dependent. was only a dependency of
the United States. IT is doubtful If
the Cubans would ever consent to oc-
cupy such humiliating position. They
might be forced to do so.
The plan is, 1t is said, to have COM
mission to make a treaty with Cuba
just as soon as Cuba is in a position
to appoint commissioners, and then to
insist upon the retention of the fortress
as one of the provisions of the treaty.
1t will be interesting to hear what the
Cubans have to say about this inten-
ton Of our government. 1t will make
them far more angry than ever the
Plat amendment did. 1t will go a long
way towards satisfying them that this
country does not intend to give up it's
hold on the island.
But has the government any such
intention as is alleged in the Washing
ton dispatch in question? That is a
difficult question to answer. The first
impulse would be to declare that it
hasn't, but such strange things are
happening all the while that it is bet
ter to wait and see what the Presi-
dent or his cabinet officers have to
say about the matter.
