LATEST FAD OF THE DUCHESS


The latest fad of the Duchess Of
Marlborough is said to be a passion for
recitation. She is an apt scholar has
remarkable memory. and at many Of
the social affairs that she attends she
has been called on to entertain the
guests by giving some portion of her
repertoire. But it goes further than
this. according TO the stories told in
the clubs that the Duke of Marlbor
ough frequents.
Whenever the Duke, who is at heart
a true son of his father, strays away
from the beaten path of work and
steady habits, it is said that the
Duchess takes him to room apart
and then recites to him some of the
more impressive poems in her collec.
tion. Gray's Elegy, "Curfew Shall Not
Ring To night" and ''Thanatopsis" are
among her favorites.

CHAPTER XVIII.

STREET LIFE AMONG THE HINDoos.
The natives are very much wrought
up by something that has occurred. 1t
does not take great deal to excite
crowd of H.ndoGs, especially il they
are engaged in worship. Any indig-
nifty to their god or the mosque where
in every object is sacred to them,
whether the insult is real or fancied,
will bring them around like a swarm
of bees, eager for the blood of the
transgressor.
Mynheer Joe knows this full well,
and judging from the exctable con-
dition OF the crowd, fears that his
friends have been unwise in doing
something.
The Hindoos cease to advance. This
word, spoken in their native tongue,
tells them that the other is a master.
His personality is great. He checks
their desire to reach out their hands
and clutch their intended victims.
Eager dark faces, shining out from
under varicolored turbans, greet the
view, some beared, others smooth.
Two dozen pairs of black eyes are
focused intently upon one point, and
this the countenance of Mynheer Joe.
He holds them as if by some magic.
They are swayed in a measure by his
mind. 1t is the power of one will over
others.

Murmurs of applause arise as the
I'D Hindoo finishes his little speech
Mynheer Joe sees that it is as he
feared. These people must be handled
with gloves in all that pertains to their
religion.

TtE democrats by proxy who
are IN charge OF the campaign in
Idaho this year seem destined to
make a series OF bIundsrs from
which 1t viii take the party years

silly and incompehensible of
these was perpetrated at the
late meeting Of the state com
mittee when the few members of
the committee present passed a
resolution attempting to read
the Capital News out OF the par
~, because, iorsooth, the editors
OF that paper do not subscribe
TO the Dubois Anti-Mormon
propaganda. VIII they take the
same course in regard TO the
other democratic papers OF the
state that refuse to endorse this
pernicions fallacy OF that peripa-
tetic changeling? Why did they
not at the same time read out of
the party the Lewiston Tribune.
Pocatello Advance, Idaho State
Eagle, Nampa Leader and every
other democratic paper in the
state with the exception OF two
or three, and the thousands of
democratic voters who do not
believe in a religious crusade, for
the same reason? Aud yet these
papers and those voters consti-
tute the bone and sinew of the
democratic party. Editors
Fisher, Sheridan, Broxon, Mans
Held. Stanton, Afford and other
democratic editors. were fighting
the battles for democracy when
Dubois was working this same
issue in the republican party
and they will still be leading the
democratic hosts when Dubois
goes down to ignominy at the
head OF his American Anti-Mor-
mon party which he assisted in
starting so auspiciously in Utah.

in the 1896 platform were the
promise OF reciprocity; the
promise TO promote the free
coinage Of silver by international
agreement the promise to give
veterans Of the Union armies

ise to honestly enforce the civil

promises have been fulfilled.
