The Senior and Junior

There need be no conceaIment Of the
fact that there IS a stimulating uncer-
tainty about the relations Of Senators
Fairbanks and Beveridge. The debonair
junior and the austere senior are vastly
different IN methods and temperament.
One has the genius OF organization.
and the other Is the idol Of the plain
people. The grave senior is the master
Of the machine, and has Just won a
most important victory. which insures
him seat in the United States Senate
for six years more. and the other is
working with a political problem the
result Of which he hopes will give him
another lease Of life as a national Iegis-
lator. While # may not be said that
they directly oppose one another, It
is distinctly plain 10 all that they never
actively help each other This elusive
situation has prevailed 50 long without
any prospect OF a definite understand
ing between the two leading HoOsier
statesmen that the practical political
workers OF the State have concluded that
the time is not far OF when there will
be an open split. Some are bold
enough 10 think that the result Of the
judicial contest VIII demonstrate the
actual feeling which the junior and the
senior have toward each other.

4 Criticism on KrHger.
Since The publication OF the memoirs
OF Kruger there has been violent crlli-
cism Of the book by Sir Evelyn Wood,
who objects 90 the way In which Kruger
refers 20 him. The main point Of the
criticism is that the book states that Sir
Evelyn took the Boer leader by the arm
and asked him not 20 be hasty IN deal
ing with the British government. Sir
Evelyn says that considering the fact
that Kruger did not change his clothes

Changes in bridal Costumes.

Continental brides, says the London
Graphic, are SO conservative in their
bridal attire and customs that it is
somewhat strange that two new depar'
lures at weddings should have been no.
ticed within the past few days, and in
different countries. In Spain-of all
lands most slow to take in new ideas
the daughter of grandee was attended
by eight bridesmaids, quite after the
English fashion. AS a rule, brides.
maids are non-eXistent in France and
Spain, the bride being only attended
by one or two maids Of honor, each
dressed differently In this last Of
Spanish weddings, however, the bevy
of maidens were all in white, and
walked up the church after the bride
The second innovation was observed at
a smart Paris wedding. The bride
wore, instead of the orthodox white
silk or satin, white velvet gown, and
instead Of orange blossoms or myrtle
bouquets of white camellias, both on
her corsage and catching up her lace
veil, so arranged as to form a peaked
up and very becoming coi1fure.
