The barbecue and brunswick given by
Mr.. Henry Evans last Tuesday was the

can safely say it will be best one. The

seasoned, and the brunswick was under
the supervision of two connoisseurs,
Messrs Scott and Selleck, 1t took
several hours to prepare it, but it dis

were about fifty people at the table,
with keen appetites for the delicious

Mr., Murray Robertson was in Macon
this week and entertained his friends
with an account of his trip recently
through Mexico, in company with
Messrs. Gains, Dr. and Needham
Whitfield, We are told that Mr.. Gaines
Whitfield said If he was offered the
whole country to live there he wouIdn t
take it. Mr.. Robertson found much to
interest him, and brought back many
curious things peculiar TO that country.
He tells one thing about Guaymas that
excites our wonder and lays in the
shade Mr.. Selleck's stories about the
rainless sections of Texas. Huge tur.
ties are found on She shores at Quay
mas, and they are caught and trained
for pack animals and all the city draw
business is done on the carapax or shells
of these animals, the more swift ones
being used for passenger delivery.
Mr.. Tom Evans. who spent several
years in Mexico, says he had heard of
the monster turtles of Guaymas, but
thought all the transportation in Mex
leo was done by burros.

IT'S A HOT FIGHT
A La Toilette Mans View of Wis
30. -, conSin Politics.
REPUBLICANS HoPLEssLY SPLIT
Interesting Interview With OIuE o.
Halls of Ellsworth who Fights
for La Toilette.

duff o, Halls of Ellsworth, Wis, who
Is a strong partizan of Governor La Fol
lette has been in Minneapolis saying
good things otr'the man the Wisconsin
stalwarts so detest. The following is
Mr.. Halls view Of Wisconsin politics.:
The political situation in Wisconsin thig
year is unique. A number of former reput-
licans met in June last in Milwaukee and
organized what they were pleased to term
The Republican League and opened eypen-
sve headquarters consisting Of seventeen
rooms occupying the entire eleventh floor OF
the Herman building, large structure in the
heart of the city. Numerous officials stem
ographers and clerks Immediately en-
ployed and set to work. Agents were en-
gagged to travel over the state to advocate the
principles of the organization. and to en-
gage men to look after its interests in the
different, localities. This work has been kept
up without interruption. 1t is necessary to
review the situation somewhat historically
that the motive power behind the most per-
feet, extensive ard expensive political ma
chine ever put in motion outside of Pennsyl-
vania may be comprehended. The expense
of the league thus far cannot have fallen be-
low quarter Of million dollsrs, and the
question naturally suggests itself-What in
terests are behind this outlay and what do
they expect to gain?
The state republican ticket with Governor
La Toilette at the head was elected in 1000
by over 100 900 plurality. The issues of the
! campaign were defined in his nomination., and
! his opponents were driven from the field, one
' by one, long before the convention met. The
. platform adopted in accordance with Mr.. La
Folette's wel-known views on those subjects
promised that, IL the republican party were
successful at the polls, it would place upon
the statute books Of the state primary cleo.

convention. 1t also promised reformation

the period and that found their zenith in the
works of Boucher, Vatican, Fragonard and
Greuze, Some of Bouchers small gouache
paintings on fans need microscope to de-
cipher their beauties. The Louis XIV. fans
frequently have large and elegant cameo
medalions On the sticks. One must not for
get to mention the lorgnette fan, with two
holes filled with glass; through which the
owner could 'see and not be seen" These
are very scarce, and therefore much to be
priced.
If you are not a collector of these trifes
and must carry a fan, the handranted ones
are the most handy, as they are not so easily
broken as the feather fan, and wear better
than the gauze In the cheaper grades the
shops are offering fans with Vatican pic
lures photographed en- the material. They
resemble the hand-painted fans so nearly
that only the closest scrutiny can detect The
difference.

fans for evening Use cost anywhere from SIC
to hundreds of dollars.
The French still hold the lead in making
these triles. France in the long period
from Louis XIV to the first empire produced
the most beautiful specimens of fans, show
ing a gradual change in style, both as re-
CARDS the paintings on the leaf and the
sticks.
The early Louis XIV. are often in the
Chinese STYLE or a sylvan scene occupies
the whole leaf with an allegorical grouping
of figures in the center; the sticks are broad
and overlap enc another. Later and down
to the Directory these become narrower and
separate, while the leaf is divided into panels
separated by Very ornate pedestals surrounde'
with wreaths and much Despangled, with be.
