MAKING AMERICANS PAY.

I have just met an American over with his family for the coronation fes- tival, writes the Paris correspondent of the London Sketch, and he said to me: Living is dear on the Continent. I have been down to see Deauyille and Trouville, and here is my hotel bill, and, as he handed it to me, he blew
 very hard at his cigar. Well he might! Deauville and Trouville, which never dream of opening till the end of June,
 had taken advantage of the Americans over for the coronation. At hazard picked out@two such items as "Shrimps ten francs," Bread and butter and
 water cress, six francs fifty centimes.' ; lie very laconically remarked that it seemed to him that "Yurrup was roasting tue 'Murrican,' and he won dered what would happen in London. The hotel keepers in France, and in the Riviera particularly, are making a positive fortune out of the Americans who have come over; but the latter take it, in general, very calmly for they know that their visit to Europe this year is one of luxury. I can tell a story of our Princess Louise which has, I believe, never been published. She stayed incognito at a hotel in the Rue de Rivoli, and when the bin was brought she saw it was exhorbitant.
 She carefully went through the items, and refused to pay. The manager started to storm, but when he was told to send 1t to the embassy, with her card, he collapsed like wet butterfly.

A BEAUTY STRIKE.

The women employed in the Vesta mills at Providence, R. l., are on strike because their employers will not con- cede them time enough to make them selves look pretty. These women have been accustomed to quit work at 5:15 in the afternoon, so that they might have three-quarters of an hour in which to array themselves. clean up, and put on the few last finishing touches before. going out the gates at 6.
 The employers, deeming three-quar- ters of an hour. an unconscionably long time even for the beautifying of woman, notified the girls that they must work up to o'clock and do their beautifying afterward. The women sought to compromise on a half an hour, then on 15 minutes, but failed in each case. Then they asked for 10 minutes, and when the employers re- fused this they offered, if they could have 10 minutes before closing time for dressing, etc, to cut off 10 min utes from their incoming. When this al- so was refused they struck. It is an- ticipated that the employers eventual ly will make the concession, which they ought to do in common justice, as the women make an apparently fair offer and one which would give the employer full time.
 Thus the first beauty strike in this country goes on record. That the Wo- men will win is certain, for to be well-dressed and look pretty is the crowning ambition of woman, wheth- CT she works in the Vesta mills and lives in a cottage or does not work at all and lives in a palace. That she will accomplish it is as sure as any thing can be, and it is useless for man to oppose it. Indeed, he would be the first one to regret it if he succeeded. How long would the Vesta mill pro prietors enjoy seeing lot of slatterns leaving the work every night at 6 o'clock?
 In this manner men have great ad- vantage over women. They do not care to look pretty. The most of them could not look pretty if they did care. The workman who should attempt to look pretty as he left his work would be jeered at, if not mobbed, by his as- sociates. To this extent his labor is more practical and valuable than that of the woman who has to fix and go home looking pretty. The day proba- bly, will never come when he will not go from his work with smirched hands and bespattered clothes. Working men strike for various reasons, some of them just some of them absurd, but they will never strike for time in which to make themselves look pretty. That is woman's privilege, lox, xxvlsn c,1,a fc< Chicago Tribune.

IT TOOK THE TRICK.


 Charles H. Cramp, the veteran ship builder of Philadelphia told the other day of his visit to Czar Alexander of Russia, the father of the present ruler. when he received the first order for constructing in his yards a warship for the great empire of northern Flu rope.
 The czar received me standing among some dozen or more of his na- val dignitaries,' he said. ssand while he was graciousness itself, I was none the less embarrassed. You see, l was not used to that sort of thing and really was wondering every minute just what would happen, and what l would be expected to do. The czar stayed rather close to me as we talked, and 1 found myself wishing I were bigger man as he lowered above me. Then, all Of sudden. he asked:
 MT Cramp, in what school of na. val architecture were you educated P
 Your highness,' I answered. I was educated in my fathers yards lie was educated in his fathers yards We founded a school of naval archi. tecture'
 What put that into my head I win never know continued MT Cramp but 1t took the trick. The czar caught me by the hand and said: MT Cramr you were educated in the school that am glad to have build ships for my navy. New York Times.

 What do few homes, more or less, says an exchange, matter to the modern theatrical star? Miss Maude Adams has three separate domiciles in yari- ous parts of New York, but she will go to France this summer to rest. She has recently completed and furnished a home in Forty-first street. Another at Lake Ronkonmona, in Long Island, is ready for occupancy. A third in the Catskills would furnish her with hos pitality. Nevertheless she will go to France.
 The "forty-fve senate is one of the obstacles to the adoption of the new constitution. A demand for an en- 1arged senate grew out of the railroad fight of the last session, but it was a sentimental rather than a logical de- mand. There would have been the same fight with forty-fve or sixty senators. The essence of the senate is to have it a small body, where each member has imposed upon him the serious responsibility that goes with the feeling that his action may be de- cisive-Hartford Courant.

The action of the constitutional convention in voting for the Bissell plan has been discussed and cussed for nearly week and yet the fire of some of the state editors is not spent. By the way, i'll speaking of the pas sage of this measure, the Democrat credited Delegate Guilfoile with yot- ing iu favor of it. MT Guilfoile op- posed the bill and did not vote for it. The question in the minds of many people, and some democrats right here in Waterbury, is, after all, if it makes any difference what bill or whose bill is passed, will not this democratic city be run by republicans, and nearly all the fat plums be enjoyed by mem bers of that faith. Waterbury can elect democrats when given fair show, but let a republican legislature arrange our wards, and our aldermanic board is sure to be republican.

Senator Hanna says that an advance of per cent in wages would have sat isfied the coal miners in the Pennsyl- vania coal regions, and that this could have been covered by an advance of 10 cents a ton in the price of coal. It looks very much as if the operators desired a strike as pretext for the ad- vance of dollar a ton, in order to put some extra millions into their own pockets.-H Times.
 And still some people wonder why strikes occur, and hold up their hands in holy horror at the thoughts of one. When a few men can throw thousands into idleness for the purpose of adding to their wealth it is certain that some thing ''is rotten in Denmark" It is high time Attorney Knox got after the trusts. and when he finishes with the one he is now engaged with there are a few others that he can turn his atten- tion to.

Tt is with no little enjoyment that fiture of their opponents in the law making halls of the country writes a Washington correspondent. The re- publicans are facing a serious division of opinion in their own ranks and which faction will win no one can def- nitely predict. The opponents of Gu ban reciprocity are determined that the isthmian canal bill shall take prece- dence over the former measure when the Philippine bill is disposed of. Sen ator Platt, manager of the Cuban bill, is not yet sufficiently sure of the sup port which a straight reciprocity bill would secure in the senate to urge its immediate consideration, and he appre- ciates that if he reports the bill as passed by the house, while it will re- ceiye the unanimous support of the democrats, the friendship of the sugar trust would be forfeited. The only way out of the dilemma would be ad- journment as soon as the Philippine bill and the two remaining appropria- ton bills are passed, but the obstacle to that course, which is being consid- cred, is the publicly announced inten- ton of the president to call an extra session in case congress adjourns with out acting on the Cuban bill. Viewed from any standpoint it is serious di- lemma and the republicans are facing it with a bad grace. If the president will yield almost immediate adjourn meht will follow. If a sufficient num- Der of 'beet sugar senator's can be whipped into line the Cuban bill will be passed and there will be no canal legislation, but the fear is that the canal bill will have to be taken up and that would mean the postponement or adjournment for many weeks.

WATER CURE. IS OLD.
Used Many Years Ago to Make Drunk

Used Many Years Ago to Make Drunk-
 en Sailors Cease Their Profanity.
 What has come to be known as the s'water cure treatment is an adoption by the army of disciplining measure as to the navy wooden hulls and hemp rigging, says the Philadelphia Times. The deep-sea sailor calls it handy billy washdown,' and it's application is only resorted to as the most effec- tive means to stop the brawling pro- fanity of a drunken sailor on ship board.
 Where ships are visiting ports in torrid climates it is considered a hard ship to confine a naG in the brig, the ships lookup, because of the heat, and sailor who goes on board in an un- ruly, intoxicated condition is usually put in irons and allowed to sleep it off on the forward deck. Not infrequent- ly when Jack has been drinking all kinds i'll sight on shore leave the "feel'' of the irons. combined with the liquor, makes him swearing mad" No one, from the commanding officer to the ships boy, escapes his oaths at such times, and finally it becomes necessary lOI lAC pCdIc siliu ulStlp1i1C Ol thC ShiP to give him a sshandy-billy wash down."
 His hands, which are fastened be- hind him, are 1ashed to a bolt in the deck and the "handy-billy hand force pump-is prepared for ac- ton. A rubber hose, without a noz- gle, through custom held by "Jack's chum, is asked to stop swearing or take the sswashdown." The answer generally comes in the form of renew ed effort to swear louder and harder. The petty officer in charge orders Pump awayr' and for four or five seconds a steady stream is played on the sailors mouth. His spluttering attempts to utter more oaths in spite of the water are drowned in the laugh from his shipmates.

BOSTON MISSIONARIES.

One of the products of expansion IS
the creatuie called by the New Orleans
States. "The Boston Missionary. "
The type is not a new one and the MI
crobe should be crushed out as sum-
marilv as possible. The people of the
South will recognize the breed refer
red to in the following paragraph taken
from an interview with Senator Burton
Of Kansas who has been in the for east
among our new possessions studying
conditions and forming opinions that
meet with the hearty approval of every
one who has investigated the subject
from an honest standpoint Senator
Burton says:
"The Hawaiians are in hard lines at
present. Their condition is the result
of the work of Boston missionaries. A
number of missionaries have been over
there recently and have given many of
the natives certificates guaranteed to
admit them to Heaven in exchange for
their lands.
Congress is ever ready to investigate
and there is no field that promises a
brighter opening for investigation
than the condnet of these Boston Mis-
sionaries" who are rapidly extending
their field to the Philippines. The
carpet-bagger is already in evidence
and the two go hand in hand and it
would be wise for the government to
look into the matter before it becomes
a scandal that may seriously effect the
situation in our new possessions and
impair the efforts Of those officials
who are endeavoring to make American
rule a success and inspiring confidence
in the hearts of the many well mean
ing natives.

STILL THE BOOK OF BOOKS.

Newspapers are noting the fact that
the English churchman are assailing
the Bible with more or less vehemence
and attacking its morals. And it is
gratifying to observe that the secular
branch of the profession is committed
unalterably to an unqualified defense
of the old book. Religious papers,
many of them, are disposed to argue
the question and to admit that if
their editors had been writing the
book things would have been said diff
ferently. When we reflect that "as-
saults" of similar character have
been made from time to time since his
tory began and that the printing
presses turn out more of the old book,
unexpurgated, now than ever before,
there need be no apprehension that its
day of usefulness is even approxima-
ting an end. Chattanooga Times.

THE COUNTY ROADS.

The time draws near for the fall term
of the Grand Jury of Sumter county
and it is imperative that some decided
effort be made to secure better roads
throughout the county. The roads are
better than they once were and are be-
ing more carefully worked with better
system than ever before known, but
the demand for better roads is not be
ing met as rapidly as is required. The
county is developing in many ways,
population is increasing and every
citizen should lend hand and see that
the good work is pushed as rapidly as
possible. The force employed at pres
cnt is not large enough and many OF
our people are strongly in favor OF
using convicts for the purpose of pro-
noting the work. Good roads promote
business and enable the farmers to
more promptly dispose of the products
at better prices. The people are be,
ginning to realize the Importance Of
the question and their wishes must be
complied with.
