EnrlI.h and Amerlcan Girls.

About a score of English maids and ma irons, we'll bred. intelligent, and of the up- per ten. were lately in evidence in the lob by of one of washington's best hostelries for about a week. During the stay of the fair ones from abroad they were the ob- tects of much curious attention. People seemed to know at 6 glance that they were foreigners.
 ''Yes, the women of England do look queer alongside ours" said the wife of a Congressman, when appealed to for an ex- planatiol. There are several important points of difference In the first place. they do not as a rule possess good figures. neither do they carry themselves with the grace and ease that are common with all classes of women in this country. But the particular distinction. after all. Is in the matter of dress. An Englishwoman s clothes scarcely ever sit on her becomlngly. even if they were made to fit. which is rare. They are not up to the American standard tn the knowledge of arranging themselves in garments that show off the good points in the female form. Of the French chic in dress they are densely ignorant See that young British female over there with the long neck. which. instead of being partly concealed. is wholly revealed by the absence of collar. No Yankee girl would ever sin against good taste that way"

CATTLE PRICES UP.
Chief of Bureau of Animal Industry Ex-
 plains Advance An Beet.

Unusually high prices for beef are undoubtedly due in a measure to the fact that tho price of cattle at the stock yards has increased 20 per cent In the last month," Thus the Wash ington correspondent of The New York Herald quotes D. E. Salmon. chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Agricultural Department. in answer to query as to why the price of beef was higher today than it has been at any time since the war.
 MT. Salmon had experts in his depart ment makes special investigation of this matter, and he made the statement as the result of their work.
 T have tried also" said MT. Salmon, Ito find whether the market price and the recent advance in the price to the consumer of beef were out of propor- ton to the advance in the price of cat tie. This, however. I have been unable to ascertain. There is no doubt, how ever, that such a marked advance m the price of cattle would be seized upuon--as. by the way, 1t always is-- by dealers in meats to make a sharp advance in their own prices"
 Mir. Salmon said that while there is usually a scarcity of good beef cattle at this season of the year. the scarcity this year was considerably in excess or that of any year for the last flve years.
 'I am unable to state any particular reason why this should be so,' added Mir Salmon, but there is no doubt that such a condition exists. Good beef cat tie are always scarce in the spring. Tn" Vtock available is largely grass-fed. and Is not up to the usual standard. This condition of affairs, is, of course, not permanent and should pass in a short time. Then. of course, there would be no good reason for uphoiding prices. and they should come down."
 MT Salmon refused to discuss the question of the rumored manipulation Of prices by the large packing conn panies, except to remark that he never knew dealers to fail to take advantags of any advance in prices at the stock wards

CAPT. SCOTT TALKS
SEES A RosY FUTURE FOR REpUp-
 LICAN PARTY. e+
Farty is So Organized, He Says, 1t Cam not be Beaten-Tells of His Fight
 With AIdrfch.

Capt. Charles H. Scott, of Montgoni- cry. Republican National Committed
 man from Alabama, who returned home saturday from the Republican National Convention at Chicago, is enthusiastic
 over the Convention and Republican prospects.
 Captain Scott, 1t will be remembered. was elected to succeed Capt. J. W. Dim- l mick of Montgomery. At the Conyen- tfon 1t developed that he had opposi- tion in the form of his fellow referee or Federal patronage to Alabama, W {. F. Aldrich.
 At his home last night Captain Scott said: When I reached Chicago, I found that had unexpected opposition and that a number of delegates who were instructed for me were joining the Aldrich forces. When they began to count noses, however. they saw that fight would avail them nothing and I went in easily. Aldrich steps down from his position as referee and the patronage of the Republican Party in this State, which Is now in thorough sympathy with the entire party organ fzation, Is under Mr. J. O. Thompson and myself There will be no third ref cree.
 Tn speaking of the Convention Cap tain Scott said Tt was circulated that the Convention lacked enthusiasm. We'll. there wasn't the hooray and hull labaloo usually so noticeable in a po- 1itical convention. But why should there be? There was not a contest to engender enthusiasm but I can tell you, when Governor Black concluded his speech nominating President Roosevelt. such a cheer went up as one seldom hears And Mir. Fairbanks received an ovation. too. Once 1t was thought he was in the Coliseum, and 1t took some time to >get enough order to proceed and then Uncle Joe Cannon had to tell the delegates he was not in the hall.
 'Roosevelt is. sure winner. No matter who the Democrats nominate, they will be beaten. Of course. if they nominate a good. conservative man. we may have lively fight. but the c. O. P. is so thoroughly organized now that it can't be beaten.
 T have seen reports that Illinois will be a battle ground. Well. I discussed the situation with men who have their fingers on the pulse of the State and they say there is nothing but Roose- welt to it. Indiana has been said to be doubtful. I had a conversation with Mir Goodrich on the conditions. and he says the majority for Roosevelt will be large"
 When asked in reference to the re- port that either he or Mfr. Thompson would succeed Captain Dimmick as Clerk of the United States Court in Montsomerv. the referee said: q nm not candidate for the position, nor is MT. Thompson"
 Captain Scott will be at home for several days.

the social field. MT. Brooks tells of a
 man, who comparing London with New York, thought that London contained a far greater number of interesting peo- pie. especially people who have done things. For instance" he said. T found in my club smoking room recent ly a man who had just returned from a orty-minute private talk with the czar, another who was just back from Macedonia, two officers invalided home from Somaliland, an ex-governor of the Malay state. one or two .Anglo-In- dian officials and a man who had been in Lassa. You might have gone over the United States with a rake without finding men with such a variety of in- teresting experiences"

It is then I do those dreadful things--trample on the upturned fea- lures of my leading lady and hurl ten- derloin stocks at the walters" And you do not know of 1t at all7" Not a solitary thing, madam until read the papers next daY."

DECLINE OF MOURNING.

The recent statement that many peo- pie nowadays have such dislike of mourning that they frequently go abroad immediately after funeral In order to avoid the necessity for wear ing it may be true of only a small sec ton of society. but there is litie doubt that mourning is by no means so gene rally worn as in days gone by This. of course, is only in accord with the tendency of the age. It is good many years since we got rid of the long crape hatbands which men and even small boys wore on their heads on the occa- sions of funerals, and year by year since then the trend of things has been in the direction of less and less display of the panoply of grief.

In an English school recently cer- tain boy was regularly absent during the hour In which Latin was taught. The teacher called on the boys father. at whose instructions. 1t had been learned, he remained away, and asked for an explanation. The father said: Its all right During the Latin hour I am teaching Jimmy something that he will find far more useful than Latin in his progress through life" The teacher was interested and asked what this subject was. The father replied: T am teaching my son how to shave without a looking glass"

Chinese Demand Modern Improvement

The Century.
 The. Chinese peasant is no longer content to burn bean oil; he wants kerosene. In scores of humble Lao homes I saw American lamps costing 20 rupees apiece and Q magistrate proudly showed me a collection of nineteen of these shining articles. The narrow streets of Canton are brilliant with German and American chande- Hers, and myriads of private houses throughout the empire are lighted by foreign lamps. The desire of the Asi- atic to possess foreign lamps is equal led only by .his passion for foreign clocks. The demand for clocks is in- satiable. I counted twenty-seven in the private apartments of the Emper- or of China, and my wife nineteen in the bedroom of the Empress Dow ager, while cheaper ones tick to the delighted wonder of myriads of hum bier people The ambitious Syrian scorns the mud roof of his ancestors and will be satisfied only with the bright red tiles imported from Europe.
