EXPECTATION HER CHARM.

How seldom one sees a perfectly natural woman. Whether it is be- cause she has always been surround ed by convenuonalitses or because she is naturally a creature of .affec. .ation 1t is difficult to decide Sometimes her unnaturalness lies in a violent gushing, again in an exaggeration of speech Oftentimes she is fascinat- ing and attractive because of these very airs which she assumes. Some times she is unbeatable because she rings so false. Generally she is pos- ing as some character or other. At one time she will be the injured in- nocent. when she is certain that she is not in the least injured, and at. an- other time she plays the devil-may- care role when she would as soon think of committing suicide as dis regarding the conventionalities
 She often poses as the sweet-souled lovely woman when she is plotting mean deeds and she acts the part of the hard-hearted. cold creature when she would not harm a living soul. She pretends to have no feel ings when her emotions are easily stirred. She laughs when she would cry and cries when she would laugh. In her love affairs she plays half . dozen parts and is not herself in more than two of them.
 Her power of playing parts gives her the reputation of being hard to understand. If the poor men, who are so often puzzled at her behavior. would only try to solve the puzzle by taking it for granted that she is DOS ing they would find the solution easy.
 It is question if a perfectly nat ural woman would be half the suc- cess the affected woman is. There is bravery about the sensitive wo- man who poses for the hardened creature and the disagreeable woman would be unbearable if she did not pose for sweet-tempered woman. In the latter case there is always the possibility . of becoming the part which is being played and in former case over sensitiveness may be over come by playing a role. At any rate the average woman is very attractive just as she is and no one dares to hint that that change would be any improvement.-Elma in Springfield Union.

BULL MET HIS MATCH.

When they began to run the trolley line up my way" said a Macomb coun- ty farmer the other day, ''I made up my mind that I'd have to do something with my old bull. When he takes fit to leave a field there's no fence high enough to stop him,and when he's wan dering along the highway he calculates he's the biggest thing on earth. I knew he'd mix up with the first trolley car that came whizzing along, and so I says to my son Jim:
 Jim. we've got to experiment lit tie and give our old bull a setback. Let's see what we can rig up.'
 "Jim agreed. and so It happened that feller came along next day with a portable engine. I told him what was wanted, and he was still talking when the old bull jumped the fence into the road. He had his eye on that engine. and he knew it was good chance to show off. The man would have run away if he could, being afraid of an upset, but there was no chance, and he took the middle of the road and let Ter rip. Down went the bulls head and up went his tail. and he charged that engine head-on. There was O SuidSH u U0 uedrQ ndlI a mile away, and the engine rose up on it's hind wheels and then came down all right, though 1t was a close call.''
 But what about the bull?" was asked.
 ''Well, sir. he struck the boilerhead fair and square. and if anybody was ever knocked into the middle of last week he was. He fell in a heap and rolled over into the ditch, and for if teen minutes he seemed as dead as a stone. Then he opened his eyes and got up. and when the engine whistled at him he started off on run and kept 1t up for five miles. He broke one horn short off and twisted the other. and he had headache for three months It was the right kind of a i dose for him. When the cars began to run he lifted his tail. but at the first clang of the gong his tail went down and the tears came to his eyes. He didn't want to tackle anything else on wheels. Indeed. it broke his spirit i till two-vear-old steer could rustic ' him around. and if he don't grieve i himself to death hefore spring I guess l shall kill him for soldier beef.'-De- troit Free Press.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The vitagraph pictures of the locai fire were, of course, the great magnet that drew crowds to the Jacques yes terday afternoon and evening, but they were far from being the whole thing Splendid pictures they are, showing the ruins and the work in them in q wonderfully realistic way; but the per formance given in addition has so much of novelty and comedy as to al most drown out the interest in the pie lures. Specially attractive are the acts introduced by the Carter-De aa- ven trio, and the Paul Barnes com pany. The former is a sort of com bination singing. musical and comedy act, while the latter is screamingly, funny comedy sketch entitled, w ant ed, an Aunt" Both acts kept the au- dience in roars. and they are wonder fully funny. Among those who con tribute the remaining acts, several of which are novelties, are the four Mill tons, the Yankee comedy four, the Todd-Judge family, the dancing How ards and Lozelle. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10; evening prices for all, 10, 20 and 80 cents.

Both Branches, However, Talk a
 Great Deal.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.--Through- out nearly the entire session of the senate yesterday the Philippine tariff bill was under consideration. MT. Tur- ner CWash.) concluded his speech, be- gun last Friday, on the legal and con- stitutional phases of the Philippine question. He held in the main that as the F'ilipinos had established an inde- pendent government in the islands pri- or to the fall of Manila the United States under the principles of interna- tional law had no right in the islands.
 Mr. Teller (Colo) took the floor to deliver speech on the pending meas ure, but had scarcely introduced lis argument before he requested that he be allowed to continue his address to- day.
 General debate on the oleomargarine bill was closed. The friends of the bill have decided to offer an amendment to make the 10 cent tax apply to oleo- margarine in imitation of butter ''of any shade of yellow" The amend ment is designed to meet the charge of the opponents of the bill that without this amendment the language of the bill might be construed to absolutely prohibit the sale of oleomargarine. Senator Hoar from the senate com mittee on privileges and elections re- ported favorably the amendment to the constitution introduced by himself changing the day for the inauguration of the president of the United States from March to the last Thursday in April. The resolution provides that the change shall take effect in 1905 and ex- tends the term of President Roosevelt from March to that date. The reso- lution also provides that hereafter the terms of senators and members of the house of representatives shall begin on the last Thursday of April instead of March 4, as at present

 Heavy Casualties.

Katch ener Reports Lively Times and
 Heavy Casualties.
 LONDON, Feb 11.--A report receiv- ed from Lord Kitchener at Pretoria shows last week to have been the live Hest week, with the heaviest losses on both sides, for several months past Lord Kitchener gives the Boer casual ties total of 69 killed, r wounded, 57 surrendered and 574 taken prisoners. The British captured 4S0 rifles, one pompom and the usual grist of mun1- tions and live stock.
 The most serious British losses dur ing the week was the capture of sixty donkey wagons conveyed by 16O troops. At point thirty miles from Beaufort West, Cape Colony, the enc my swooped down on the donkey wag- ons and cut up the convoy before as sistance arrived. They were able to remove only twelve of the wagons and burned the rest In this engagement the British lost two officers and eleven men killed and one officer and forty seven men wounded, while the Boers lost twenty-fo killed and forty-seyen wounded.

Genera1 Gomez Honorea.

SANTIAGO, Cuba, Feb. 11.-General Maximo Gomez arrived here last might on his way to Santo Domingo. He was given a great demonstration when he landed from the steamer. A large crowd had assembled, with bands of music. The municipal police and the firemen also turned out to welcome him. General Gomez was averse to dis cussing the political situation. He said, however, that he believed the United States would fulfill its pledges to estab- fish stable government in Cuba. This he considered impossible without close commercial relations between the two countries.

CITY REFUSES HELP.
Paterson's Stricken Citizens
 Not at All Dismayed.
BANK TREASURES ARE CsHARMED.
Loss From the Terrible Fire May Not Exceed $S,OOO, OO,OOO-Insurance Covers About One-half of
 This Amount.

PATERSON, N. J. Feb. 11.-A feel ing of confidence in the future per vades the minds of the citizens of Pat erson. Mayor Hinchliffe has the situa ton well in hand, and to an offer Of assistance which came from Mayor Low of New York an answer was re turned containing thanks and the as surance that Paterson is managing to care for those in need.
 Money and securities said to amount to $3,000,000 were safely recovered from the two huge vaults under the ruins of the First National bank late yesterday. Books, papers, bullion and paper money were found to be unin- jured. Guarded by files of soldiers with fixed bayonets, the treasure was conveyed to the Paterson Savings in stitution in two horse dray.
 Buried beneath the ruins of the city hall were found the safes which be- longed to the comptroller's office, and ir these also the papers, legal docu- ments and public records were found unharmed. The safes of the Passaic Water company beneath the ruins Of the building which stood at 107 and 109 Washington street were destroyed, however, and the only part of their contents recovered was $500 in silver.
 The greatest tangle in the city af fairs will result in the tax office. So far as can yet be ascertained the rec ords of the department are all de stroyed. There is set of books which shows the valuation, etc, of each piece of property in the city, and the assessors have their field books, from which all this could be duplicated without overmuch work. It is said, however, that it is almost certain that the records showing who paid their taxes and who had not are all destroy ed and that there is not in existence anything from which the information could be obtained.
 The work of clearing up the burned district has not begun, but the firemen are busy with ropes and dynamite tearing down the shaky walls that en dangered those who had to be inside the burned area.
 Conservative opinion inclines to cut $2,000,000 from the aggregate loss Of $1Q,O00,OOO agreed upon formerly, and SS,00O,000 will probably be accepted finally as the actual cost of the fire. No tabulation of individual losses that can be accepted as reliable has yet been made, and it will be several days before satisfactory figures can be pre- pared.
 Equally incomplete is the estimate of insurance. It was stated here that the insurance amounted to between $4,0o0,0O0 and $5,0O0,00O, but what gave basis to the calculation was. not clear.
 The board of aldermen assembled last night. It was not formal meet ing, the body sitting as committee of the whole. Mayor Hinchliffe read the telegrams from all over the country offering the city aid. The aldermen voted thanks to all who had proffered assistance.

the stage, turned to her and said pe- tween his phrases
 sHere come the best two noses in the company"
 In ties Huguenots'' Madame Mel ba not infrequently forgot her lines at the point where she was seated on the throne surrounded by her la- dies in waiting. The cause of the trouble was the fact that the con- yersation demanded at the moment In pantomime was not a sham affair but an interesting one; it was the habit, indeed, to exchange just then pleasing bits of news. Mademoi- only her own role but everybody But in this particular performance she, too suffered lapse of memory, for the news had been more engag- ing than usual As consequence Madame Melba was suddenly start led by her cue from. the orchestra. Forgetting what Meyerbeer had written, she substituted some phrases composed on the spur of the moment, ending with q brilliant cadenza. Mir Plancon. as Saint Brls. had to sing at this juncture. Madame, I will go and bring my daughter" Instead, noting her slip and smiling blandly, he sang:
 Madame, I will go and tell Mey- erbeer.''
 The ladies in the cast, who at that moment rejoiced in fans. held them in front of their faces. and Mancin- elli, who had caught the words at the conductors desk as clearly as he had caught the sudden alteration of the music. buried his head in the scora.-William Armstrong in Leslie's Weekly

DELLA FOX.

The engagement of dainty Della Fox on Thursday evening at Polls. when she will present her new musical com edy success, Little Nam selle," will be an event of rare interest. Miss Fox represents the best traditions of all that is artistic and polished in sincere stage endeavor. Like Nell Gwynne- poor Nell-Charlotte Cushman, Mary Anderson and Lotta Crabtree, Miss Fox possesses that indefnable quality some analysts choose to call genius. In the elder J. K. Emmett the quality was called magnetism. So with Lester Wallack. There mere announcement of the appearance of Miss Fox, ire spective of her offering. in any of the big cities is usually sufficient to crowd the theater that may be the scene of the presentation. The Little Nam sellen is the title of the comedy the comedienne will present here. It is in three acts. The sale of seats opens tomorrow, the regular dollar scale prevailing.
