WOMEN OF VENEZUELA.
Are Models Of Domestic Virtues ana
Are beautiful and sweet
hammered.

Mrs. Bowen, the wife Of the Ameri-
can minister to Venezuela, returned TO
this country with her husband few
years ago and has been stopping with
friends in Washington. She is able 10
talk very entertainingly about the
members Of her sex in the South Amer
ican republic, for she saw much OF
them in Caracas, says the Star OF that
city.
The legation in Caracas, in which she
has made her home for more than a
year, is full Of her pets, innumerable
parrots, q beautiful peacock, while
several monkeys inhabit the garden.
The peacock is treated as a member
of the family and feeds out Of cup
as daintily as young lady.
life in Venezuela is very delight
full" she remarked. Il am sure that,
while we would not find SO many OF
the luxuries Of life there ashere, there
IS no place on earth more charming,
both in the natural attractions Of the
country and in the people. To live
among them is to be their friends.
The women are models of domestic
virtues and are famed the world over
for their faithfulness. Some Of them
are the most beautiful pictures, both
In form and feature, that one could I'M
agine. l have seen many Of all classes
and the more see Of them the more
admire their beauty, sweet manners
and nobility Of character. Iremember
one girl, a perfect beauty, who was
engaged to a young man. 1t happened
that he was arrested for some offense
and remained in prison for two years.
During the whole Of the time the
young lady would not go out OF the
house, but remained indoors as aproof
Of her steadfast affection. In fact,
the ladies of Venezuela, who are Of
Spanish descent, go out in public very
little. Most of their life is spent IN
the house and in their duties as moth
ers and wives they have few equals"

THE CATNIP MAN.
street Car Conductor Gets job
Tackled Onto Him Through
being 0bIIging.

"It's pretty near time for the eatnip
trouble to start up again" the subur-
ban conductor remarked to the other
man standing on the platform, relates
the Detroit Free Press.
.sThe catnip trouble" repeated the
other man. What's the 'catnip trou-
ble2'"
@Oh," explained the conductor, "out
where my car runs catnip grows all
along the track-there's pretty near a
mile Of catnip on. there. Several
years ago / brought in a little bundle
and gave It to one Of my neighbors for
her cat. She parceled out that catnip
all around the block to all the other
people who had cats; and they tell
me the cats nearly lost their minds
over that fresh catnip. Most town cats,
you know, never get any catnip except
this old, dried stuff from the drug
stores. It's pitiful, isn't it? ! suppose
lots of nice cats have lived and died
without ever tasting bit Of fresh
country catnip.
well. pretty soon some of the other
neighbors began asking me to bring
them little bundle Of catnip, and the
thing rolled up until now run big
catnip business all summer-without
a cent Of money in u, either. ! had to
have my daughte- make list Of my
catnip custnme1a, and take them in
turn-all summer long until cold
weather comes.
~The story has got out on me, too,
concluded the conductor, looking a
trife sheepish. "and some Of the other
men call me old Catnip'; and they cali
my car The Catnip Car But, Jimmy,
don't care. Ii pleases a lot Of women
and pleases a lot Of cats and, by
gracious, I'D rather please women and
cats than please most Of the men

mer long; but Ehat's the difference

SPRING AILMENTS

There is an aching and tired feeling;
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestio i'm
pared, with little or no appetite, no am
bition for anything, and feeling that
the whole body and mind needs toning
up. The trouble is, that duricg winter,
there has been an accumulation of waste

In the first opening of Oklaho-
ma to settlers In 1889, the editor
OF this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day ina pril.
During his travelling about and
afterwards his campaign upon
his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with
the severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhosa which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became so
bad he expected TO die. One day
one of his neigh bors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlaln's
ColiC, Cholera and DiarrhOea Rem
edy as a last hope. A big dose
was gwen him while he was roll
ing about on the ground in great
agony, and in a few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good
effect Of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first rund
sleep for a fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel

be calculated AT tilis hour the
results are c5 men, women ard
children dead and perhaps more
than 40 fatally injured, with a
property loss of something like
$500, 900. The death list is yet
imperfect, not all the bodies
having been recovered and iden-
tilted. Many of them were man
gled beyond recognition, the
only means of Identification be-
ing the records Of the two cotton
mills in which most Of the vic
tins worked.
The death dealing storm ap
peared suddenly little before
| O'Clock and within two min
utes it had killed nearly 100
persons, torn two stories from
the five-hoor brick factory Of
the Gainesville Cotton mills,
demolished 200 cottages, razed
two brick stores to the ground
and blown down innumerable
outbuildings. BY what appear
to be a miracle; the tornado's
fury was confined to the out
skirts Of the city, the main busi-
moss and residence portion not
being touched Torrents Of rain
accompanied the wind but with.
in five minutes after its first on
slaught the sun was shining
upon a scene of fearful desc
lation.
The list Of the dead il confin-
ed mainly to operatives Of the
Gainesville Cotton mills and the
Pacolet Cotton mills, and two
thirds of them were women and
children.
The tornado did its appalling
work in such incredibly short
time that it is difficult to get a
coherent description of its char
acter. 1t appears to have swept
down from the southwest, strik-
ing the Gainesville mills with a
roar like the report of artillery.
After lifting two stories from
this structure it swept on to the
northward, leaving a trail of
destruction along Summit street
which is inhabited almost ex-
clusively by negroes. Nearly
100 cottages of colored people
on this street were leveled to
the ground, but by a fortunate
circumstance the tenants were
all absent, having left the city
in the morning to take part in
a negro picnic.
The furious wind next de-
scended on the plant of the
PacOlet Cotton mills at New
Holland, two miles from the
Southern station. This is one
of the largest cotton mills in
the south, employing more than
500 hands The storm spared
the Pacolet factory, but entirely
demolished 100 Of it's cottages
standing nearby and tenanted
by it's operatives. Here the fa-
talities were greatest, upwards

FALL IN CoNSOLS.
England Anxious Over the mone-
 tary Outlook.


 London. March 25.-The cnie1 lea'ule VI VI the transactions on the stock excnanse today was the continued selling or con sols which showed further snarp 1al' During the morning consois Tell to 'o' and even a shade below that ngure' There was practically no home support but the continent kept buying small iots'
 The possibility of consols being in tne eighties has created consternatlon, hot only among spectators and investors but in the great banking interests who for years have written down their consor holdings at 90, though the market price was considerably above. 90 being con- sidered possibly the lowest price the se- curities was likely to go to. Should con- sols go down to and remain below 90, every British bank will be obliged to re- organize it's reserves and get out new balances upon a fresh basis Such set rious contingency, however, is scarcely believed possible. A report is current that the Government may step in as a buyer of It's own securities. which would immediately restore the national credit.
 But the stringency in the money mar ket is not expected to be alleviated. for if the Bank of England eases its condi- ton. the continent. which is big lend CT. win withdraw loans In order to get more favorable terms elsewhere. There was some slight American buying today in the belief that rock bottom has been reached. One purchase of S75.000 for an Anglo American firm caused a temporary rise of IS, which. however. was soon obliterated by investors selling.
