en- an unmarried man is more interesting
than one whose market has been made.
But now that he has been elected, Mr..
Bailey will be a target for the mothers
OF unmarried daughters from one end
OF Kansas to the other. II" he remains
obduratc throughout his term, he will be
likely to suffer for it when he runs again.
The best course for him to pursue will
be to pick out consort as soon as pos
sible, and give the people Of Kansas
the excitement of wedding which shall
supply mistress for the executive man
sion. One Of the acts Of Grover Cleve-
land which has never been criticised-he
went into the White House the first time
as bachelor. as everybody remembers
was his marriage to the daughter of
his former partner. 1t she d a glow Of
sentiment over the whole continent. "All
the world loves lover" Let Gov.-elect
Bailey be wise. Let him show himself
heedful OF the scriptural adage that lit
is not good that the man should be
alone"

A New Ruslkiu Story.

William Richmond. No doubt It is given
on his authority; anyhow, It seems TO be
quite new. In lecture 1T Oxford, when
he was Slade professor, Sir William de-
Tended the fame which the world had ac-
corded to Michael Angelo and Raphael.
Formerly Ruskin had denounced Michaei
Angelo, and he was not very well pleased
with Sir William for holding forth on the
other side. When Ruskin recovered from
the i'll health which had caused him to
give up the Slade professorship. Sir VII

Touched by this, Rusk1n sent asking Il
he might come and dine with his Young
friend, who was delighted, sand they snenf

TO go he said: willy, why. did you make
that violent attack upon me about MI

you talked nonsense was the uncompro-
missing reply. You are quite right"

ed master, 1T was nonsense. - The

HARD TIMES IN AUSTRALIA,
Drouth Has Plunged Almost the Entire
Country Into Bankruptcy.

Not since the collapse Of the land boom,
which wrecked so many banks and Other
financial institutions, and reduced so
many people from opulence to poverty,
have times been 50 hard as they now are
Seven or eight seasons Of successive
drouth in the arid regions Of Australia
have led to an enormous loss of stock,
which will seriously affect this years
export Of wool and frozen mutton. Lo-
cally, the immediate effect has been to
increase the price of beef and mutton
enormously, and so many people are
out Of work that both articles Of con-
sumption have got beyond their reach.
The unemployed can be counted by hull
dreds in all the cities and towns of the
continent, especially in Vivtoria,
South Australia, New South Wales
and Queensland. TIE cities of
Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and
Brisbane are full Of able-bodied
men who can find no work to do, and
Australia is literally grooming under its
enormous load Of debt, and state govern
ments have a difficult problem to solve
in the financial position which confronts
them.
They have borrowed to such an extent
that the hOtation Of further loans in
London is anything but an easy thing
to do, and in most of the states large
deficits are shown Oh the years trans
actions. Rigid retrenchment and econ.
omy, as we'll as further taxation, are
the only means BY which the states can
extricate themselves from the financial
straits they have got themselves into by
piling up the public debt and reckless
expenditure upon unproductive works. In
Victoria crisis has taken place within
the past few days, aud parliament has
been dissolved. The government pro-
posed to make percentage reductions in
the salaries and wages of public serv-
ants, starting with salaries Of f125 a
year upward. The house declared
against beginning 50 low down the scale
as f125, and thereupoq the government
asked for a dissolution and got it.-Mel-
bourne Corr. New York Times.

The English hero Lord Roberts enjoys
the distinction of being the sturdiest op-
ponent Of the tipping system who has
so far appeared in any country Of the
civilized world. The stall in the royal
chapel Of St. Georges. Winsor. which
has been assigned for his use, does not
bear his banner and arms as a knight
Of the Garter, though King Edward with
his own hands decorated him with the
insignia Of that order. The reason why
his stall remains without the emblems
is that he declines to pay the fees, equiv
alent to $1,000 in American money,
which are exacted by court officials on
the occasion of the initiation of knights
of the Garter. The honor was conferred
upon him without solicitation, and he
sees no reason why he should dip into
his private purse to make it the occa-
sion of unearned emoluments to court
parasites, Notwithstanding the fact that
tradition and usage have caused other
recipients Of the honor to make the Law
ish disbursement which he withholds,
His position is one that deserves the an
plause of haters of greedy imposition
throughout the world.

THE HOWARD CAssARD.
The Queer Ship Probably will be Broken
Up. 80. ~

:, Specter gaunt and gray the. steamboat
Howard .Cassard, ghost Of a Wisiennry's
day dream Of railroad speed on the water,
awaits at SHEPHERDS shipy ard, Essing-
ton, the auctioneerss hammer, which will
fall upon her next Wednesday. She has
laid at the same spot in idleness for sig

boat. and end an abortive career. Built
for the energy and swiftness. required for
three days transatlantic trip, she hes
stripped and dead in Delaware mud, a
fitting shape of her designers delusion,
and the tombstone Of mis- hopes and am
billions.
With the length of good-sized ocean
liner, the Cassard has the waist OF Il
steam yacht. These points, her designer
imagined, were to be her great virtues;
they proved to be her undoing. So long
and narrow, she nearly turned turtle
when launched. She was staunchly built,
but has been SO long in her bed of mud
at Essington that her slender sparts are
without shred of canvas; the ropes have
long been r0tted away and her tunnels
are corroded by the biting breezes that
blow from the Delaware. Those bare
spars and davits, the tunnels, pilot house
and s bridge s Gre e all that ner S 2De

Howard Cassard, who designed this
unique craft, and gave her his name, was
Baltimorear. Ten years ago, when the
craze for fast trips across the Atlantic
was developing, he conceived IN idea of
ship construction which, TO mis- mind,
would revolutionize travel to Europe.
His notion was that the arrow shape gave
arrow flight as we'll on water as in the
air, and he set about applying that fancy
to fact. He came near getting the ar
rows shape. The old forms which had
been tried and proved methods Of con-
struction, based on the shipwright's care
full calculations, would not yield the speed
he was seeking, SO he followed methods
Of his own.
The product Of his ideas was steamer
with double steel plated hull, AO feet
long, Fl feet deep and only 16 feet wide
at the waist-an extremely narrow beam
for such a long boat. She was to be Of
10 feet draught, with 70-ton 1000
horse power engine, a 4O-ton boiler, a
Cotton keel and of $50 tons displace-
ment: He concluded that this tonnage
would be sufficient ballast to hold her
down. The workmanship upon her was
excellent. Her sides were as stout as if
she were three times the size and made
for rough usage. She was so we'll built
that even now there is no looseness about

The action Of the Viennese feather
manufacturers, artificial flower makers
and milliners in denouncing the move
ment against feathered ornaments for
hats furnishes the opposition argument
in the case Of the Audubon societies
against Dame Fashion. But the feather
manufacturers and the makers of feather
flowers can get plenty Of raw material
from the poulterers; and as to coloring
and imitation, they ought to be able to
keep up with the general practice Of de-
ception.
