NO FIGHT IN THE EAST.

There are indications that the Re-
publicans will make no serious effort
this year to carry the doubtful States
of the East. This means that they
concede the Southern States to the
Democrats, and also the States of
New York, New Jersey, Delaware
and Connecticut. Republicans have
never seriously professed that they
had reasonable chance of carving
Maryland and Kentucky. 1t is
believed they have little hope of get.
ting West Virginia.
They do not admit that the Demo
Gratis will carry Indiana, but Demo-
Gratis recall that the State vent for
Grover Cleveland in lS9S by ma
Jority of over six thousand, even with
an Indiana man at the head of the
Republican ticket. The per cent.
of the vote of Indiana which is pur.
chasable is larger than that of any
other State in the Union. Money
decides nearly every election.
Taggart as the National Chair
m a n will move heaven and
earth to get the electoral vote of
the State for Barker and Davis, and
he will not lead a forlorn hope.
The result in the State is bound to
be close, whether Roosevelt or Parker
gets majority. The fact that Sena-
tor Fairbanks is on the ticket does
not mean as much, in the light of
history, and the senator's personality,
as the unthinking might suppose.

erable ability, but ten minutes in

IN the Senate because he is a man of
great wealth, and money is more
needed in Indiana than in any State
in the Union.

THE BIG SHOW.

The st. Louis Exposition is by far
the greatest show of its kind the
world ever saw, and it is in high
degree educational. 1t is a great
popular school, and every American
citizen who can do so should attend
both for the pleasure and for the in
struction that he is sure to derive.
The Philippine exhibit is show
within itself, anu it is well worth a
visit to st. Louis to see it. The
Filipinos are living in the Exposition
grounds, as they live at home. All
sorts of exhibits are made, showing
the products and mode of living, and
there are representatives of almost
every tribe, from the savage Igorrotes
to the well. drilled soldiers and the
accomplished musicians. 1t is, in
deed, an interesting study to go into
the lgorrote village and see the saw
ages on their native heath, living
precisely as they live at home, living
in novels without vestige of furni-
ture, the men dressed in their birth
day suits, the women all smoking
cigars, men and women taking part
in their weird dances, eating dog
flesh with keen relish; then to step
outside the village and see the pei
feet drill of the Philippine scouts,
led by a first rate Philippine banI of
fifty pieces. We have never seen
better object lesson, illustrating what
training may do, than Is afforded in
the contrast between the savage
lgorrotes and the well discipled
soldiers and musicians of the better
class. One day in the Philippine
reservation will give an American
citizen better idea Of the situation
in the Philippine Islands than a
years study of the books.
The railroad fare is cheap, and, in
spite of all that has been said to the
one may live economically
while at the Exposition. A comfor-
table room may be had near the
grounds at dollar day, and there
are numerous restaurants where good
fare may be obtained at small cost.
One may live comfortably at st.
Louis quite as cheaply as visitor
may live in Richmond. Every Vir-
ginian who can afford the trip.
should see the Exposition. We know
OF no better investment of ones spare
change.

COLLEGE GIRLS AS FARM HANDS.
Modern Maud Mullers are Rakipg
the Hay and Moving il, too.

Because of a lack of farm hands
the farmers around Wippany, Alton
and Hanover, N. j., have had to call
on their daughters to assist in the
harvest.
In the ordinary course of things
this would be nothing strange. But
tor the farmers in that section of the
country 1T is unusual, for they are a
well-to-do lot and most of their girls
are college bred. But college bred
or otherwise, it makes no difference
TO the farmer who has to get in the
hay. This is the haying season and
1t is the finest kind of having
weather.
The farmere offered high wages
for male help, but it was not forth
coming. just when it looked as if
the hay crop would be failure on
account of a lack of harvesters, Miss
Mabel Mowder, who finished at
Vassar two years ago, came to her
fathers assistance, and said that she
would take the place of a man for
S2 day, the price he had offered.
lie scotfed at the idea at first, but
this young woman soon showed that
she was as good as her word by
mounting a moving machine and
driving into the field, where she cut
the grass like veteran. Other girls
In the vicinity saw their leader at
work, end it became the fashion at
once, SO that within two DAYS more
than dozen women could be counted
within half as many miles, and all
OF them were riding on moving
machines, reapers, or gang rakes,
handling a pair of horses and a big
machine as if they were used to it.
Among the girls so doing are Miss
Jeannette Van Vetter, a pupil in
Holyoke Seminary; Miss Marguerite
Slade, of Wellesley Miss Conney
Mackey, of Cornell, Miss Sue Prince,
of barnard, and Miss Sadie Bailey, of
Vassar. Some of the girls are grad
uates and some of them are still in
school, but all of them are now
causing many persons to stop along
the road and watch the haymaking. |
Although the girls have been at
their Jobs only two DAYS, and some
OF them now have their hands in
bandages as the result of many
blisters, all declare that they will |
stick righ. through to the end of |
harvesting-Neac York Herald.

The pity and the pathos of it are
unparalleled in modern times. The
tragedy of his life equalled the trag-

KING IN ALMSHOUSE.

King Edward has added one more
to the many informally democratic
incidents that have marked his rela-
tions with his poorer subjects since
he came to the throne. Slipping
away from the crowded Newmarket
race track, where he had been watch
ing his own horses run, the king
drove to neighboring almshouse.
A minute inspection of the arrange
ments there was made and some
pointed criticisms were intermingled
with amusing chats between the
king and his pauper subjects. Of
one old woman the king asked: "Do
you all agree well?"
When she answered most positive
ly in the affirmative, King Edward
banteringly voiced his surprise at
this feminine elysium, saying:
"What, never quarrel? Are you
quite sure?"
In the poorhouse hospital his maj
esty noticed a mandolin on a bed
where IA stable boy lay dying of can
Ger. In answer to the Kings ques-
ton if he could play it, the boy said
he would like to try the national
anthem.
"Let us hear you," said King
Edward and summoning all his re-
maining strength, the boy sat up in
bed and played "God Save the
King" His majesty stood by the
bedside until the familiar air was
finished.
What the king said to the dying
boy is not chronicled, but the morn
ing newspapers say that when the
king strobe out and the hospital
ward relapsed into its usual silence,
the stable boy lay back on his bed
and said: 81 can die happy now"
