A CURIOUS SUIT.

It Is not often a saleswoman in a re, tail store finds it necessary to go to law in order to prove her claim to a bequest from one of her employers g customers. But this was the case the other day, sister-in-law of the late Governor Flower having left legacy of $500 to Mrs Flanagan, whom the tcstatrix described as saleswoman in certain New York store. It so happened that in the store mentioned there was no Mrs Flanagan. but there were two Mrs Flnnnerys, and both of these laid claim to the bequest. One of the ladies was buyer in the cloak de- partment. while the other was a sales woman at the umbrella counter. Both insisted that they had known the tes- tatrly for years, and each claimed that she frequently addressed her as Mrs Flanagan. Testimony was given by many of the employees, showing that it was the saleswoman and not the buyer who was entitled to the bequest, and the legacy was awarded accordingly. After this store employees will be apt to outdo themselves In their efforts to Ib4 polite to elderly ladies',

THAT CURIOUS AsTERoID, EROS.

The asteroid discovered by Herr Witt in 1897, and temporarily named ID. O." by him, was soon found to be a more remarkable object than any of the 450 other minor planets in the astronomers catalogues. The orbit of Mars lies outside that of the earth, and most of the asteroids keep outside of the path of Mars. But Eros pur- sues course that overlaps that of Mars, and approaches within 13, GOO, 900 miles of the earth's orbit at one point. For this reason the astronomers have recently been trying to utilize that tiny object in determining the sun's dis tance from the earth.
 While thus engaged they appear to have made new discovery concern ing the asteroid. It is alleged that its brightness varies within certain limits at short intervals. Two papers on the subject have just been contributed to the Comptes Rendus. NJ. Rossard of Toulouse, after studying Eros with a glass of ten inches aperture on three successive nights last month, decided that it ranged from a magnitude of 93 to II, and returned to the former brightness in periods of about two hours and twenty-five minutes. The degree of fluctuations was determined by comparison with fixed stars ill the vicinity. M. Rossard reports that the rise in brilliancy from minimum to maximum occurs in fifteen minutes less than the decline. The second contri- button, mere note by NJ. Andre, puts the period at about six hours. This statement is so different from NJ. Ros- sard'S that further testimony is neces- sary.
 Hundreds of stars which are be- lieved to be as big as our sun are va rlaDle. but in all cases these objects are hot enough to shine by their own light. But the asteroids are small, cold and non-luminous. Not more than four or five have diameters exceeding 100 miles. Eros is probably not over twenty or twenty-five miles through We see the asteroids as we see the moon, because the light of the sun falls on them.
 Variable stars are divided into two classes. As to the cause of the fuc- tuatlon in one claSs-by far the larger there Is good deal or uncertainty. But in the other kind, those like AL gol, astronomers incline to believe that the variability is due to a partial eclipse. The star is supposed to have companion, just as the earth has a moon. And if they revolve around a common center in the proper plane the small one will partially conceal the Dig one at regular intervals. It Is easy to understand this performance when one body is bright and the other dark, relatively, if not absolutely. But the explanation does not fit so we'll where both bodies are dark and are visible only by reflected light More oyer, the diminution in the brightness or variable of the Algol type occur, at the same rate as the increase Hence good deal more observation is required before the mystery of Eros can be cleared up. In the meantime, though, the supposition that it con, slsts Of two objects instead of only one is provisionally tenable.

Speaking of the work of the con- SreSs which has now gone into his tory, New York newspaper writer says he predicts the going to pieces of the republican party over the question of retaining or abolishing protection to trusts, and it will be we'll if the tariff itself do not suffer shipwreck in the quarrel. The west is evidently not in- clined to continue governmental pro- lection to the big combinations. which are strong enough to dominate the American market, and able to sell their products abroad by the million dollars worth. Nor did any protectionist ever advocate or defend the continuance of that policy beyond the point at which it was still needed to safeguard the producers against unequal competition from abroad. We never have advo- cated protection for protection's sake, but as q means to an end, which seems to be reached when we have become the leading producer of the article in question:. as in the case of iron and steel. If there are industries which cannot endure the strain of foreign competition they should not court it by combinations which put an end to home competition. They should ''get out of the way of the boom by dis solving such combinations and return ing to the status in which they were given protection.

The Hanna Mckinley crowd realize that they have no cinch in the state campaign in Ohio this year, so they are trying to placate all the hostile elements within the republican party. They threw a sop to the Anti-Saloon league by letting it become known that Lieutenant Governor Caldwell
 who is counsel for the State Liuuor Dealers association, would not be re- nominated, and then to prevent any disgruntlement among the liquor men, promised Caldwell that he should re- ceive a good federal appointment. In addition, they have made sure that Senator Foraker's friends will do no kicking, by promising him that his candidacy for reelection should be endorsed by the state convention. Still, with all that they seem to be afraid that the democrats will carry the state

Governor Odell, of New York, who has jumped into notoriety by his cast ing off Boss Platt's collar, is being groomed, according to inside Washing ton gossip, as New York's anti-Teddy candidate for the republican presi- dential nomination in 1904. Senator Fairbanks continues to be spoken of as the administration candidate, but the man the administration really wishes to see nominated and will get nominated if there is the slightest chance of doing so without splitting the party, is Marcus A. Hanna. Of course it is Hanna's cue now to pooh pooh any talk of his being a candidate, but all the same he intends to get that nomination if he can.

HUNTING FOR TREASURE.

Near the spot not far from Port Nor
 ris where the English man-cf-war Illus. sar sank more than century ago with her gold intended for the British ar my, a sloop has recently been making soundings and this has started the re- port that another search was to be made for this buried treasure. No sunken wreck near New York has been more eagerly sought for than that of the old Hussar. Many wrecking par ties have been organized to hunt for it and much money has been spent on these attempts. Force pumps, divers and big dredgers have been used in this work and as soon as one company
 has failed another has been organized to take 1t mp. Pieces of wreckage have been found and one searching party did bling up seventeen guineas. Since that time later searching parties have found old flints, grape shot and occasional coins. and judging from the thoroughness of these searches 1t seems improbable that the money was aboard the ship when she went down. One of the large wrecking companies in this city became interested in this hunt ten years ago and took a hand Tn IL WltuOuC success. DeSpltc tuc dl- most unbrokcn line of failures in the various treasure hunts that have been organized for this and other buried gold, it Is apparently easier to raise capital for new search than for a well-established business proposition.

THE REAL COUNTRY DOCTOR

ne popular conception of coun- try doctor is ludicrously wide of the mark, at least as far as this state is concerned,' said a man who sells sur glcal instruments and spends q good deal of time with the rural trade "It Is based on novels mainly, where the rustic practitioner is generally pictured as half-starved martyr to duty, who either rides about in a ramshackle gig or rides q 'gaunt gray mare,' with his medicines in pair of saddlebags. The doctors old gray mare. as I re member her. is quite q standard char acter in fiction. This doleful portrait may be true of other localities,' the instrument man went on. but it cer- tainly isn't true of Louisiana, and es- pecially South Louisiana. The average country doctor of that section is far more prosperous than the average doctor in a city. I know at least half a dozen who earn fully $10,OOO year, and 5000 practice is comparatively common. This is not mere guessing, but speak from personal knowledge of the facts, gleaned ill the course of long business relations. To be sure, it takes hard work to earn such sums One physician of my acquaintance, who lives forty miles from a railroad, uses eight horses in making the rounds of his patients. He keeps several at points remote from his home as re- lays. Often !he is on the go for two or three days at a stretch, but he is healthy and happy in spite of the strain, and last year he collected $9,2OO cash. He expects to keep up this pace for six or eight years, and then take q young partner and gradu- ally retire from active life. That is the plan of most of our successful country doctors. and it has made fine openings for many bright graduates from the medical colleges. I have noticed, incidentally, that the country doctor usually retires at an earlier age than the city man and is able to en- joy life before he becomes decrepit. One great advantage of q rural prac- tice is that there are comparatively few bad bills-eNactly the reverse of the conditions In city. When farm CT sends for q physician he pays him. A customer of mine in one of the river parishes lost only four accounts last years out of q total of over $6,00O. If you are looking for medical starvel- ings.'' added the instrument man, you'll have to go to town to find them. The country is not their habitat-ex- cept in stories.''-New Orleans Times Democrat.

EVILS OF CLUB LIFE.

Anything which destroys the sa- credness of the fireside is an enemy 10 De suppressed" said Henry H. Rene. dict of the Twentieth Century Wesley an league at the East Pearl street church Sunday in New Haven. He spoke of the influence which love of the club has on the home, and de scribed the difference between harm ful and proper love.
 In discussing the clubs in relation to the home life he declared that the club which is opened on Sundays and where liquors are served as on week days is corrupting influence and should be suppressed. He said it de stroyed mans interest in his home and meant sorrow and discord. He recognized, he said, the social and in- te1ectual worth of good club in giv- ing to its members enjoyment. But he further mentioned the fact that there are very few such clubs
 With the majority Of people, he said, the chief aim ill life seemed to be to have a good time regardless of wheth- CT they had it in a right manner or as giving away to unbridled passion in any of it's forms. Quarreling and drunkenness he described as coming under the head of harmful love and taking away from the real enjoyment of life.
 Real and true love, he maintained. is the kind that does not fritter away life in light social pleasures. but which looks to the intellectual and spiritual side of life.
 True love, he said, means the ex pression in action of a desire to help men. and to do the most good. To forge this and seek only for pleasure. to leave the sober path of right and give way to wrong and passion is love of the lower sort and way to degradation
