Your Name in Print.

The English newspapers i'll general,
and ono London journal in particular,
are having a lot of fun with Marie
Corelli at this time. 1t seems that this
famous writer of lurid and iucifcrous
literature had given strict orders to
tn, editor in question that he omit her
name from his columns. a little later
there was fashionable function at
which she was present, and her name
was not published with those % the
other guests. She wrote to the cditcr
and ruundly scolded him for THIS
slight. Now1th mean man has pub
Ifshed both letters, and the laugh IS
very much on the inconsistent Marie.
However she has been laughed at be-
fore and probably isn't much en-
ballassed at the situation.
Probably every r"wsp2 per published
has hal over and over again the en-
pericnce of this London publication,
People will say they do not ike and
will not have newspaper 'notoriety.
Yes, it is all right for others to have
their names in the paper if they want
to. and we like to read what cur
neighbors and friends are doing" they
say, but please. Mr.. Editor, don't put
my name in under any circumstances. :
Then little later their names viii be
left out, and the odds are heavy that
the editor who has thus tried to be
obliging will be scolded or sworn at
this depending upon the sex of the ag-
grieved person. Usually, however, the
editor is considerable and kind hearted
enough not to put the kicker in the
ridiculous position before the public
that the London editor has placed Miss
Corelli in. The best rule in such things
is to publish all the news that is fit to
print, regardless of the personal desires
~f those whose acts, whether good or
bad. have made the news.

King Leopold.

King Leopold is in a fair way to be-
come ne much of a pariah of Old World
royalty as the Duke of Orleans. His
treatment of his daughter Stephanie at
Queen Henriettes funeral seems to
nave been the final straw, and not on
~ the public and the foreign courts, but
even the members of the Belgian royal
family itself, are indignant with him
and outspoken in their expressions OF
sympathy for the ex-crown princess.
Thus, before leaving Brussels, after
being driven from the bedside of her
dead mother atsSpa, Princess Stephanie
paid a long visit to her uncle and aunt,
the Count and Countess of Flanders, at
their palace at Brussels, ard was well
conied by them with every demonstra-
ton of warm affection and OF synnpa-
thy, both of them escorting her to her
c..rriage when she left them and warm
~ embracing her The Count of Elan
ders is no longer on speaking terms
with his brother the King, and at the
obsequies of the Queen it was noticed
that they neither exchanged any greet
ing when they met nor single word
throughout the entire ceremony.

erazii's Revenue From American Cot
fee-Qrinkers.

The fallacy of the free trade argu-
ment that the repeal of DUTY wouiu
lower the price of a commodity to the
consumer by that amount is strikingly
shown i'm the case of coffee which un-
der the Mckinley and Dingley tariff
laws was put upon the free list. Most
of the coffee used in this country is
raised in Brazil In fact, practically
the whole Brazilian output fnds a
market in the United States. No
sooner had the United States put cof-
fee on the free list than Brazil inn
proved the opportunity to put an ex-
MORT tax upon its coffee amounting to
two-thirds of its value when exported.
The result is that coffee instead of
growing cheaper to the consumer has
actually gone higher. The only diff
ference is that the money that former
ly went into the United States trea-
sury. as an import duty for the support
of our own government, now goes into
the Brazilian treasury as an export
duty for the support of a foreign coun-
try-and the American consumer is
paying it just the same.
BY means of this enormous tax levied
upon the American people, the Brazil
ian government is almost able to main
tain itself.
Is it not time to put coffee back up
on the dutiable list? If this were done
Brazil would soon be forced either to
| reduce it's export tax, by the amount
| of import tax levied in this country
or else lose. in whole or in large part
| the great American market upon which
it now subsists.
If the United States should there
| after agree to put coffee upon the free
list il would be as the result of Il re-
| ciprocity treaty which would bind
Brazil to an agreement not to impose
an export tax on coffee. BY the pres
ent arrangement the United States
| gave up millions of dollars of revenue
which was Immediately diverted into
the Brazilian treasury. The consum-
ers of this country have received abso-
luteIy no benefits from the repeal o.
import duties. The only gamer was
RraZil. and American law makers are
not generally supposed TO legislate II
the interests of foreign countries.

One of the queerest of French au-

was poet whose talent would nave re-
eeived recognition doubtless even if the
contrast between his vocation and his
avocation had not tickled the fancy of
the Parisians. He lived and wrote his
poetry at the morgue, of which he was
registrar. He was "a merry soul who
found most of his. inspiration in the
corpses in his care and who used 10

from all countries. He dwelt at the
