Jim Grow car law CT New Orleans
makes tie conductor such an autocrat
as he is in 10 other city. says the New
Orleans PicaEune. Perhaps the most
Objectionable feature OF it is that
which authorizes and empowers the ear
conductors TO pronounce which of the
passengers are whites and which arc
negroes. There is no restraint on these
irresponsible persons ciothed with such
extraordinary functions. \ car con

Caracas, Dec. 17.-Indications here
are that Venezuela will yield to the
demands of the allies.
| The leading citizens of Caracas
have addressed a note to President
Castro asking him to give full powers
to United States Minister Bowen to
effect a termination Of the present
difficulty.
This note was transmitted to Pres
ident Castro at 1 o'clock this after
noon. 1t is signed by all the leading
merchants, bankers and a%gricultur-
lists OF Caracas. It reflects truly the
consensus of current opinion among
the business element of this city. The
men who signed the note will meet
again to discuss ways and means of
obtaining money with which Vene-
zeula can meet her obligations, as
we'll as the guarantees which it will
be proper to offer her creditors.
The note is as follows:
Caracas, Dec. II, 19O2.-To the
President of the United States of Ven
ezuela:
"Sir-The undersigned having met
with the purpose of offering their
aid to the government of Venezuela
in the present situation, which has
been created by the aggressive atti-
tude of Germany and Great Britain
in and upon request to give our opin-
ions, we address you in the following
terms:
In view of the acts of violence al
ready committed and of the absolute
impotence of Venezuela to meet force
with force in response to the allied
action of Germany and Great Britain,
in view of the fact that Venezuela has
exhausted all the means required to
put an end to the present situation
and the government and the people
OF Venezuela having complied honor
ably and worthily to the demands of
honor, we consider, with all
due respect, that the moment to yield
to force has arrived.
We therefore respectfully, recon-
that full powers be given to the
minister of the United States of North
America, authorizing him to carry
out proper measures to terminate the
present conflict in the manner least
to the interests of Vene-
zuela.
I'VE subscribe ourselves your
obedient servants"

citizens of Caracas.

4 New VOtinO Machine.

We thought that out here in El Paso, says the Times, we were pretty well informed on machine voting but in Connecticut they are trying a new kind of voting machine, of which the Hartford Post has the fol lowing to say:
 "The voters of the First and Ninth wards, who were the pioneers in voting by machines here, evidently welcomed the experiment and took kindly to the innovation. They voted with neatness and despatch particu larly despatch, and stood not upon the orders of their voting In the First ward over one thousand voters turned the knob and pressed the but ton and there was general satisfaction that voting by machine was an easy and agreeable and not at all pug Zling or formidable process. In the Ninth ward still larger number of voters were accommodated, the total being in excess of 1400 and it was not a very pleasant day for voting either In that ward, too, the gen. eral verdict was All right and mal- contents were few and far between. The popular verdict, so far as it can be ascertained and expressed by the voters in these two large and repre- sentative wards, is that voting ma chimes are all right from the stand point of the average voter.
 Doubtless the use of the machines makes somewhat for straight voting, especially when the voters are strange to the machine and feel little timid about the possibility of getting mixed

What Is HOmel

Recently a London magazine sent out 1000 inquiries on the question, What is home?" Tn selecting the classes to respond to the question it was particular to see that every one was represented. The poorest and the richest were given an equal opportu- nifty to express their sentiments. Out of 800 replies received, seven gems were selected, as follows:
 1. Home-A world of strife shut out, world of love shut in.
 2. Home-The place where the small are great and the great are small.
 8. Home-The fathers kingdom, the mothers world, and the child's paradise.
 4. Home-The place where we grumble most and are treated the best.
 5. Home-The center of our affec tions round which our hearts best wishes twine.
 6. Home-The place where the stomachs get three square meals daily and our hearts a thousand.
 z. Home-The only place on earth where the faults and failings of humanity are hidden under the sweet mantle of charity.

up with the combinations and cranks, but the machines are after all ex- ceedingly simple and easily accomino- date themselves to the necessities of the voters. We shall lose our guess if the people in this city do not de- mand them for use in future cleo tions.
 "So much for the machines from the standpoint of the man behind the ballot, the average, plain citizen, during the process of voting. But when we consider the process of counting the vote we reach a point that demands universal appreciation. As soon as the clock strikes five, and the moderator declares the polls closed the result can be promulgated. There is no slow process of sorting envelopes, arranging ballots, count ing and recounting and checking, with the inevitable errors, but complete, absolutely correct record of the days work that can be made known to all concerned at once. The returns from the First and Ninth wards were made known last night shortly after five o'clock, while the votes in the other wards were not all counted and tabulated until after midnight. That one feature of machine voting was impressed last night by the use of the two contrasting machines.
 Voting by machines does not imply machine voting. That was shown in the Ninth ward, especially. And it may fairly be said that the particular machine used here seemed to be well adapted for it's purpose"

Dear Sirs: Congressman Belden, of SYRIA
cuse, painted his Thousand-Islands cottage
in '92 with DevOe; and painted it again in
80 with the same, of course. Takes so gal
Ions.
"What does it last only seven years9''
Depends on what you paint for. No
one can tell how long job of paint is going
to last in any particular case The paint
may last ten years and the color five
A summer cottage is painted for color, of
course; it is also painted to keep out water,
to keep it from rOtting.
Seven years is a good long time for paint
to look fresh-depends on the color though
some colors last longer than others. Three
is too long for some of the prettiest colors.
Nothing pays better, in building house,
than good job of paint; and nothing pays
better in keeping it up than repanting as
soon as the paint shows signs of impair
ment. But this IS to keep it sound For
the looks, you may paint it whenever the
freshness is off. It's matter of color; not
of paint. Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
