BERNHARDT AT FIRST GLANCE.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The first impression was that of mop of yellow hair, pale face, cream-colored satin furs. She sat in one corner of the car Opposite was M. Coquelin, with his stubby nose and his broad face and great smiling mouth and blue Tam o'Shanter cap on the back of his head.
 She was intensely active and nervous. Her head, which is so proudly poised, was never still And her long, slender hands were almost always in motion. She is all force, determination and activity.
 But Madame Bernhardt IS more beauti- full than her picture would have you be- lieve. There is a suggestion in- the pose and cast of her head of handsome young man. The strength seems too great to be feminine. There is no particular beauty in her features. Her eyes do not make an impression The lips are thin and the up per lips extend little over the lower. And her teeth fit exactly together, which fact gives to her expression f-mness and determination. She is not pretty. Rather she is handsome But there is an incon eruity in the yellow hair which .covere ears and forehead, and the signs of years in the softness of the flesh of her cheeks.
 She is tall and very slender, but 1.-the as a panther. Each action is sudden anG strong.

Helen Keller, the Alabama girl, hither- to regarded as the best illustration of the wonders wrought by modern instruction of deaf mutes, is threatened with 6000,0o0 rivals in her acquired art of speech. The last census numbers the deaf mutes of America at 6,000,000 and Miller Reese Hutchinson, a native of Mobile says he can enable every one of the 6,000,000 to hear and talk
 MT. Hutchinson has invented a small electrical appliance which he says &C., complishes these wonders. At a test of the instrument made a few days ago the utility of the invention was demonstrated to the satisfaction of number of experts in diseases of the ear
 MT Hutchison's discovery" consists of a utilization of the fact that certain VI brations can/ be sensed-one cannot say heard-even by those whose deafness is dense as stone. From this bal sis the in- ventor has evolved an instrument which, when applied to the ear of a deaf mute, enables him to hear
 In appearance the instrument closely resembles one of the small telephone transmitters which are clamped to the ear of all the operators at central sta- tions. For ordinary conversation the in- strument is not clamped to the head, but is carried in the hand, and applied to the ear when needed. Except when the in strument is at their ears the deaf mutes are as deaf as ever, and for this reason MT. Hutchison finds that none of those afflicted object to wearing the head har- ness which the constant use of the in- strument necessitates. They are eager to

Senator Spooner's Amendment.

Senator Spooner proposes to add the substance of his Philippine bill to the army appropriation bill in the form of an amendment This amend ment provides that all military, civil, and judicial powers necessary to gov ern the Philippine Islands shall, until otherwise provided, be vested in such persons as the President may choose for the establishment of a civil government and for the protection of all the liberties of the inhabitants A proviso is added to the effect that all franchises granted under the ar engagement shall contain a clause re- serving "the right to alter, amend, or repeal the same"
 This plan would suit the patronage seekers excellently, and the franchise hunters would be willing to take chances under it. The latter at pres Cht SOAtlOl Soo, anu eto iOnS dS they can do that any grabs on their part in the Philippines would be pro- tected.
 It is. urged that this amendment should become law because it would do much to remove the need of an extra session, would start up enter prif [, in the islands and would give the <, fit commission freedom and op- portunity.

WHY A DUTY ON STEEL RAILS?

From the Savannah News.
 Why is it that Congress persists in keeping duty of sZs4 a ton on steel rails? Is there any Republican Congress man who is ready to rise in his place in Congress and answer that question? Is it because our lawmakers want the steel rail manufacturers to have the power to charge their home customers that much more for steel rails than thsy charge their customers in other countriea@
 There is no pretense now that steel railr cannot be manufactured as cheaply in this country as in any other There Is no one who will say that they cannot be manufactured more cheaply in this coun try than in any other. AS a matter of fact our exports of steel products are be- coming enormous.
 Recently the Australian government wanted a big lot of steel rails, and 1t asked steel rail manufacturers in ali parts of the world to submit prices for which they would furnish them. The order was for 17O0O tons, and the Illinois Steel Company got 1t. That company un- dertook to place steel rails in Melborne at a price less than that offered by any other steel company in the world Is it not time that the tariff were removed from steel rails? Does Congress want our home railroad builders to pay more
 or steel rails manufactured in this coun- try than railroad builders in Australia pay for them? If not, why is it that the duty is retained on steel rails or any other product of our steel mills?
 At this time there is in progress a deal of gigantic proportions-a deal by which all of the great steel mills of the country will be united under one management. The combined trust will have a capital of billion dollars or more. It is ex- pected that it will be able to manufacture steel products at even less cost than they are manufactured at present. There is no doubt that the United States are going to supply the markets of the world with steel products. Can it be possible that it is the intention of Congress to let the American people be at the mercy of such a gigantic trust? If not, then there ought to be no time lost in removing the tariff from all kinds of steel products.

Terms of Cuban Freedom

Cuba is, it is true, governed by the army of which the President is con- mander-in-chief, and military rule is very arbitrary; but when the Presi- dent undertakes to name the condi- tions of withdrawing troops from Cuba, demanding two naval stations, . reasonable tariff (although this country has not got one), no foreign indebtedness, small domestic indebt- edness, and no unapproved foreign relations when he does all this of his own motion he is certainly assuming authority by the wholesale. He is out thority by the wholesale. He is out doing the Kaiser and is ranking in imperialism up to the autocratic Czar. It is plain that the Republican party now considers itself the coun- try. and sii proposes, and the trusts also prop5se. to conduct things to suit Themselves.
 In the settlement of the Cuban question it is plain the debt question will play a prominent part. Spain

Here's Your Valentine.

This is the fourteenth day of February and is called St. Valentines Day in con- memoration of Saint valentinus, Christ ian martyr, who was beheaded because of his faith during the Claudian perse- cution of Christians in Rome, in the 27Oth year of Christi and thus the blood of this martyr became the seed of the church.
 The custom of sending what we call valentines is a very ancient one, say the encyclopedias. It is held that on this day the wild birds select their mates for the springtime singing and nesting, and that this fact led to the adoption of the day a time for sending tender love missives from lover to lover. Another contention is that the custom of observ- ing the day as we do comes from the an- eient Roman Lupercalia Feb. 15) when similar practices prevailed. Traces of the custom have been detected among the ob servances of ancient pagans of Northern Europe. Hence it is improbable that the actual origin of our practices was con- nected with the blessed St. Valentine, though 1t Is with him entirely that our custom is associated, and it is that saint alone whom we moderns commemorate.
 There is probably not an adult now liv- ing in any civilized community who doesn't have some happy recollections of St Valentines Day.

tried to saddle upon Cuba through the treaty of Paris the bonds issued by Spain during the Cuban insurrec- tion, for the payment of which the resources of Cuba were pledged. But the American commissioners refused to sanction this programme, and these bonds are virtually repudiated both by Spain and Cuba These bonds amount to an immense sum.
 Beyond these bonds are the bonds issued by the Republic of Cuba in the course of it's uphill struggie for inde- pendence that was victoriously ended by America. These bonds are said to make a heavy aggregate. All of them, or at least the greater part of them, were issued at large discounts.
 In some quarters, too, there is a disposition to claim from Cuba reim- bursement for the expenses incurred by this country, but this will be done, if done at all, by indirection-by trade discriminations and naval stations and the like. The road to absolute in- dependence on the part of Cuba is thus blocked to some extent by debt, and this debt will enter perforce in any permanent settlement of its po- litical position.

THE BARNARD QUESTION.

From tffe London Chronicle.
 An embarrassing moment occurred tt one of tho annual meetings of the Com mittee of the Church of England Temper ance Society, over which the late Bishop of London presided. The report of the ladies' committee was read which among other information, contained the state n1ent that "during the last year much att tention has been paid to barmaids." A very audible litter ran round the meeting, which was changed to undisguised laugh ter as the following words were read; 'Tihis has, in many cases, led to their being visited in their homes." So loud was the merriment of the clergy that the chairman, fearful of more alarming am biguities, rose and smilingly observed: Perhaps, gentlemen, we may take the report as read
