REPRESENTATIV BARTLETT.
Three Issues for the Next DemOcrati,
Conventions.

Three Issues for the Next Democratic
COnventiOn.
Representative Bartlett of Georgia Is in
Washington today en- route to Saratoga to
fully recuperate from his long illness of
last winter and spring, when ne was con-
fined to his bed here for about three
months He looks almost In his usual
health now, but deems a trip to some of
the northern resorts advisable for thor
ough restoration.
Judge Bartlett is inclined to believe that
the platform of the next democratic ma
tional convention should present three
prominent issues. In the first place, it
should favor the extension of a constitu-
tional government to all portions Of the
United States, or, he added, Ito all places
subject thereto In deciding the insular
cases the Supreme Court, he said, made a
judicial amendment to the Constitution,
and since by this judicial legislation Con-
gress has the power to extend constitution
the duty Of Congress to see to it that there
is a constitutional government wherever
the flag floats. In the second place. there
should be revision of the high protective
tariff, which has bui1tzup gigantic trusts,
and thirdly there should be Legislation de-
signed to overthrow these combinations
II believe, he added, that the plat
form should be brief and to the point,
striking vigorously at the I0Ost important
issues. / see no reason for abandoning any
positions that the democra4ic party has
taken heretofore / believe they are right.
At the same time there are some very i'm
portant new questions that must be met,
and there are others that will continually
arise, which should not be. anticipated in
the platform
1T will be time to meet them after they
confront the country. Those democrats
that have deserted theg party will not be
permitted to dictate either the platform or
the presidential candidate. / am not in
favor of abandoning anythipg, nor should
there be abuse for sAny one. 1 think the
democratic party Is surely getting closer
together than for some time. past, and all
the elements will present solid front"

vacating the seats, crowded into the aiHies.
Sheets Of water beating against the sides Of
the cars threatened to break the windows,
and many OF the frightened passengers,
especially women and children, remained
standing In the aisles until the train ar
rived at the Erie depot in Jersey City. AL
though the windows were closed, the rain
beat into the cars, and not a few Of the
passengers got a wetttng.

THE DISMAL SWAMP.
Some of Its Features-The Bear and
Other Game-Wld Cows.

Some of Its Features-The Bear and
Other Game--Wild Cows.
The Great Dismal Swamp is a
region strange and interesting, weird
and solitary. 1t occupies billowy
plain some 40 miles in length, by 20
miles in breadth, along che Atlantic
seaboard, extending from Suffolk, Va.
in southerly direction, well into the
bounds of North Carolina.
Its deep shades, great stretches of
brake and its very solitude make it
region of interest. To the naturalist
and sportsman it has much to Offer
In it's silent Businesses the black bear
finds d home admirably adapted to
his protection and in every way
favorable to his increase. Here amid
the dense growth of underbrush and
timber he may live in comparative
safety. And there is perhaps no
locality in the whole Eastern United
States of like extent which can offer
a larger bear population than this
great morass. The white-tailed deer
is also an abundant denizen of the
swamp, frequenting the elevated
parts.
In addition to the deer and bears
there is a big game feature Of a
rather unusual nature. The swamp
abounds in wild COWS. These animals,
of brown color and somewhat small
err than the ordinary COW, having for
many years been under the peculiar
conditions of the swamp, until they
are almost completely specialized, are
extremely wild. They are feralized
from the herds of the farms adjacent
to the swamp. and are the descen.
dants of cattle which many years back
wandered into the Businesses and
were lost to their owners, finally be-
coming wild. Being no longer rec
ognized as property the sportsman
may call game all that he may have
the prowess to shoot.
Lake Drummond. some ten miles
from Suffolk, Va, is the only great
body of water in the swamp. It is
a beautiful sheet of water Of an oval
contour, and fringed with a heavy
growth of timber, mostly cypress,
white cedar and black gum. Its
water is of dark color, owing to
the decaying vegetation Of the sur
rounding country. but is suitable to
drink and possesses the quality of re-
naming pure longer than most other
water. For this reason ii is often
carried to sea by sailors on long voy-
ages.
The Characteristic mammalian fauna
is of semi-tropical nature as regards
the smaller forms. while there are
many tropical plants. OF birds there
are not many kinds, parliamentary,
hooded and SWANS MARBLES and
the Maryland yellowthroat being the
principal smaller forms. The trees
some of which are primeyal. are largC
and beautiful, while there is luxu.
RANT growth of ferns and aquatic
plants. Cane grows in profusion.

day went into bookstore in St Paul
and saw upon the counter a pile of
heavy scientific volumes being wrapped
up for delivery. He picked them up
one after the other, looked at their
titles and asked The dealer, who reads
these books?" A mud clerk on the
levee of the name Of Jim HILL" replied
the dealer.
The young people began housekeep-
ing modestly at first. AS Hills ideas
materialized the style of living was
broadened to suit Today Mary Mehi-
gan is mistress of what George w.
Childs called the finest residence in
America. 1t is ON st. Anthony's hill,
st. Paul, and overlooks the river. 1t
is so large that for the servants use
alone there are seventeen bath rooms.
Connected with it is the most superb
private art gallery in the United States,
which is freely accessible to visitors.
Mr.. Hill got his knowledge of art from
books while his wife was studying in
the convent.
Nine fine children-three boys and
six girls-were born to the pair. These
Mrs. Hill reared in her own faith, her
husband, Presbyterian still, not object
ing. Neither politics nor religion mars
the harmony of that home where love
rules. Being the father of numerous
daughters and the husband of wife
who has given him an ideal home life,
the opinion Of James ]. Hill on the
woman question should carry some
weight. He says:
IF woman finds herself fitted to
do certain kind of work as well as a
man, / don't see why man should call
it his work. Buffalo Times.

Advantage OF the Country.

The girl who. as bookkeeper, clerk,
stenographer, milliner or teacher III
her village home receives a weekly
salary of S., Sc or 81 is far better off
finacialy than the girl in the same
occupations in the city who gets SO,
$40 or S12 a week. In the first place,
the living expenses are much smaller
in the country than in the city-one
gets very much more for her money
in the way Of home comforts; the
wear and tear of clothing is much
less, and as a rule the work less
harassing to the nerves. since there
is not the same hurry and rush,
keeping brain and nerves stretched
to the highest possible tension, so
that after the days work is over one
is too tired to go in search of
enjoyment. Working long hours
at muscle wearying, brain-wearing,
nerve-rasping tasks in shops. offices.
counting roms and stores causes the
city working girl to long for rest
above everythoing else, and in itself
precludes the chances of her making
desirable outside acquaintances ex-
cert such as may be offered through
church affiliations. and even these
she IS to tired to improve.-Sallle
