THE UPS AND DOWNS OF a STATE
New Jerseys Rapid Drop from cen-
manding Place In National Affairs.

New Jerseys Rapid Drop from n COM
manding Place In National Affairs.
The rapid changes in the fortunes
OF state at the national capital are
strikingly illustrated in the case of
New Jersey. which. in a few years.
rose to the pinacle OF influence. but
has now fallen back into the ranks.
A brief while ago Garret A. Hobart
filled the vice-presidency as no other
man ever did. He was a power In the
administration and not merely pre-
siding officer in the senate. He en-
joyed President McKinley's confidence
and few measures OF Importance were
decided without his aid.
Hobart's protege, John W. Grlggs.
was attorney general at a time when
international and colonial questions
gave to the Office an Importance 1t
never before possessed.
Gen. William J. Sewell, the senior
senator from New Jersey. was one
Of the presidents most loyal support
ers in the senate. and Mr.. Mckinley
depended greatly upon his influence in
the senate at large and in the mill
tary affairs committee.
A fourth Jerseyman. State Senator
William NJ. Johnson, was called, to
Washington to the post of first as
sistant postmaster general to help ex-
tricate the postoffice department
from the slough OF politics.
All of these honors fell to the lot
of the long roclS-ribbed Democratic
state which Garret A. Hobart brought
into the Republican fold. says the
New York Times. but now New Jer-
sey is stripped of them all.
The lives of Hobart and Sewell have
fickered out. .Griggs has returned to
the practice of law and Johnson has
returned 10 his business and legal in
terests, which he left only because
of President McKinley's promise of
the postmaster generalship-a prom
Use that President Roosevelt did not
feel binding upon himself.

How rrad. 1. IIamperea.

An example OF the way IN which
foreign trade Is hampcred by the va
'iety of weights ard measures In
vogue in different countries is given
by the United States conlul at AM
sterdam. A firm in Holland received
a cable offer from New York for 1000
barrels of potatoes This. of course.
is the usual measure for the sale OF
this comestible in North America.
The message. however, .as a conun-
drum for the Dutcn arm. In the first
place. there was a question as to
how many pounds went to a barrel
and in the ne.l the Dutch pound dif-
fers from the Arercan wight This
cable was the eventual resource. but
a whole day was lest before the an
swer could be wiret. TIE American
consul points out that had the offer
been made in kilogrammes every busi-
ness man in the CONF e-cial world
would have instantly understood the

QUESTION DEVIL ooULDNTANswER

Unable to Predict Action of n New York
Jury.
While waiting for the verdict In the
Patrick case few days ago somebody
remarked to Mr.. Van Diver of the Dis
trict Attorneys office. that he thought
the Jury would acquit the lawyer who
had conspired with William Marsh
Rice's valet to gain possession of the
Texas millionaire's fortune. Mr.. Van
Diver. who had followed the case close
ly for several months, doubted this,
but added reflectively:
''Of course. nothing is more uncer-
tain than the action of jury. re-
member a story my father told me
when | was boy in Alabama. The
story was OF His Satanic Majesty and
a plain citizen who met one day on n
narrow pathway cut in the edge of a
cliff. On side there yawned a preci-
pice. On the other side was the solid
rock. There was only room for one to
pass, and OF these two. one must lie
down and let the other walk over him.
"'If you'll PROFOUND three questions
| can't answer, suggested Satan. 'I;n
lie down and let you pass over my
body The citizen asked:
What is whittier than snow?'
Cotton was the answer
What is sweeter than suger?'
That's easy again; molasses.'
'''What will be the next verdict rem
dered in this county by a petit jury?'
PASS on your way, said the Devil
as he made carpet of himself"

A curiou. Coincidence.

There Is one curious coronation CO.
incidence which should not -ass with
out notice. OF all he Edwards thar
have sat on the English throne not
a single one has been crowned with
his queen in Westminster abbey since
Edward |. and Eleanor were crowned
there together Moreover. tnat coro-
nation was the first tnat took place
In the present abbey. Edward H. had
no queen when he was crowned. Ed
ward III. was a boy at the time. Ed
ward ". was unmarried and Edward
" was never crowned at all. Edward
". was crowned when he was but 20
years of age. So the only precedent
is OF good omen; for Eleanor as the
most devoted wife that ever was
queen. She 1t was who sucked the
poison from her husbands wound
And it vas her husband who set up
cross at every hating place of her
coffin until 1t came to charing Cross
where the memory of the chere reins
is immortaiized.

Very much TO my surprise said
Mr.. N. NJ. Dolphin. OF Kansas City, at
the Ebbitt. "in late tour of Central
America / came upon the most beau
tiful building | ever laid eyes upon.
II was the Government opera house
In San Juan, the capital of Costa Rica.
and there is only one other theater in
the world that approaches II in magni-
icence or cost. and that is the opera
house In Vienna.
This building is a small city of

constructed from funds raised by a
State tax on coffee. Inside and out 1t
is Of the finest marble that could be
had In Italy. Italian artisans worked
upon II. and famous artists from Eu-
rope were employed in the interior
decorations. which I think surpass
those OF our Congressional library.
The richness OF the furnishings and
general gorgeousness OF the house as
tonish every one, and 70 see such
sight in 4 little interior town of a
non-progressiye government is GER
tainly remarkable.
Il spent several weeks in the country
and learned. among other things that
the people OF Central America may
know that there is such a place as
the United States on the map. but that
is about all they do know Of this Gov
ernment They buy little or nothing
from us and seem to consider us of no
value in tho line of commerce. Costa
fiica is one OF the richest countries
on earth and when the line OF railway
that will penetrate it from ocean to

great Opportunity for the development
OF its splendid resources. This road
is now finished from Limon, on the At

ernms mt proposes to build from that

Only the rattle of the wheels on the

FEET OF ENGLISH WOMEN.

Much has been said both IN Jest and
seriously about the size Of English wo-
mems feet The fact is that when all
things are considered they are not alb
normally large The English girl OF to-
day is tall--tall in sense and to a de-
gree that the Gibson cartoons Of the
stately American girl do not even
adumbrate
In the aristocratic set more often
than not she towers over the heads Of
foreign gentlemen Long generations
OF descent from tail fathers ana moth
ers Of vigorous years Of outdoor exer-
else have made her what she is--yery
occasionally six-footer and with
hands and feet In proportion.
The note OF alarm has at last been
sounded. IL Is held that "the daughters
of Anak" are exercising too freely II
they would wear the dainty shoes that
are womens traditional ornament
While the answer is made that the
apparent size OF the English girls foot
Is due TO her sensible preference for
loose, easy shoes, II Is admittedly an in
complete explanation.
one reason for the growing popularl-
ty OF the American shoe In London is
that II looks neater and trimmer and
decidedly smaller than the English shoe
of the same size.
