oN HIS Fhh1, 4s USUAL.

Senator chauncey NJ. Depew has landed on his feet, as usual. For some time there has been talk, and pretty serious talk too. that he would not be allowed to have another term. They said that Governor Odell. who seems to be the boss in New York. didn't want him and wouldn't hayet him. It is now evident that while he didn't want him he has been persuaded to have him. Conferences were held at the Republican club in New York yesterday, in which sena- tor Depew, Governor odell and friends of ex-Goyernor Black took part. After all was settled Senator Depew smilingly said; "After much discussion and many conferences the Republican leaders have come to, the conclusion that I should be returned to the senate. There was an earnest contest, but now it is all over and there will be perfect harmony in the organization. I owe a debt of gratitude to Governor odell because he has brought about what might not oth- erwise have occurred. He has been acting for the best interests of the par ty all along" And Governor odell un- smiIingly said; Yes, it is all settled. Depew's name is the only one that will go before the oaucus.''
 Sc ends another very interesting chap ter in New York politics, Perhaps Sen ator Depew hasn't made as impressive Senator as some thought he would be and perhaps his second term will be nc more impressive than his first term has been. But a good many States get along without very impressive Senators, and the United States seems to get along without them too.

ABoUr WHIrEcAPPINg.

A Mississippi judge has imposed heavy sentences upon a number of white men convicted of murderous vio- fence toward negroes. one prisoner was sentenced to life imprisonment, five to fifty years Imprisonment. one to twenty-five years and several to twenty years. These "whiteeappers. as they styled themselves, were prosecuted by a law and order league composed of Mississippians. They were convicted by jury of white men in State court. The Baltimore Sun, which always im- proves such an opportunity. remarks that if they had been tried in g New York or Massachusetts court it is hard ly probable they would have been dealt with more severely. and adds: 'whitecapping," in whatever form and in whatever locality it is practiced. ought to be sternly suppressed. There was a very offensive exhibition of it in Colorado recently, when miners were driven from their homes and out of the State by Colorado troops and law and order leagues. It is true there had been ruffianism and murder on the part of certain disorderly clements among the miners. but that did not justify the out rage upon law-abiding and peaceful men. For several years some of our so-called trusts have practiced kind of legal whitecapping." and the law has never punished them, although weak competitors were driven to the wall. The political machines in big northern cities, notably in Philadelphia, are constantly ''whitecapping' citizens out Of their rights, and ttsere seems to be no remedy. Let us be frank and just in considering the practices of the South and of the North. While tongratulat- ing the South upon protecting the ne- gro from '.whitecappers. 1" let cur north ern frie.ids bend their energies also to the suppression of tte various kinds of 'twhitecapping" which flourish in their midst, ano from which the iublic cries in vain for relief.
 Rather pertinent, even if somewhat impert'Dent. It is ecod thing to have things tailed by their right names.

AN IMPORTaAT nulST10N.

The United States Circuit court in New Orleans must soon deal with an important question. The other day a suit for damages was filed in that court against the New Orleans Railway company by Mrs. Victoria Durgin. In her complaint Mrs. Durgin set forth the fact that while attempting to cross the street a car operated by the defend- ant company knocked her down and inflicted serious injury upon her. She wished to be recompensed in damages to the extent of several thousand dol lars because of the alleged negligence on the part of the motorman. Now the New Orleans Railway Company, through it's attorney, has filed its an swer to the plaintiffs bill. By way of defence, the answer asserts that when knocked down by defendants car the plaintiff wore a sunbonnet, which pre- vented her from seeing the tracks above or below the intersection of the streets where the accident occurred, and that while attempting to cross the track under these circumstances she was guilty of negligence, which contributed to the accident. The de fendant, therefore, asks that plaintiffs bill be dismissed, and that the costs in the case be taxed against her.
 It does seem rather dangerous to wear sunbonnet in a city, and it win be interesting to see whether the court thinks it negligent.

The Flo,rerI..

An old charWoman's hand
 From which, for many day, The scanty coins had slipped
 Ungrudged, unloved, away Held the stem of a single flower As though here were d treasure
 fuSled, And | wealth unmeasufed,
 To guard from a hostile world The flower was sweet blush-rose, Wet with the dew of morn; The hand was gnarled and old Spent in a strife forlorii. But the flower bent to the hand Its kisses moist aid sweet .. And the old hand bore the flower Safe through the noisome street. The hand was swart with toll; The flower could know no stain, The hand was scanned and scared; The flower could know no pain And the hand strained close the flower That rained back in ecstacy The bliss of its crimson lips
 These were lovers strange to see! They had a dream to themselves The one same dream had they Of the faraway gates that part In glory at close of day Where the meek of heart go in, And the faith of the dewaw wet flower Was the faith of the scared old hand, That toiled--and waited the hour!

THE sUBTLETIEs or LIFE.

Sklllful Dressing, Good Manners, ct
 Cetra, Supplies Charm.
 "The subtleness of life that count the most, said the observing woman, 'the unappreciated little trifle the shadow of a shade.' as some one aptly expres- ses it, is the thing that influences us. Take two girls, for instance, who have equally good features and appearance. One will be pretty and attractive. and teh other, If not the reverse, at least will be unnoticeable. This difference, which Is hardly any difference, and is yet so great that 1t Will make or mar life, is often seen in families between two sisters; and If the subtle distinc- ton is analysed it will be seen to cons sist of a number of small things, each comparatively unimportant in them selves. but which, nevertheless, con- stitute the essentials of charm. A de- voted Irish nurse, who adored her lit- tie charge, and thought him quite the most beautiful child in the neighbor- hood, suffered bangs of jealousy when she heard the enthusiastic admiration that was lavished on her Tommy's lit- tie cousin, who had arrived on visit
 I don't deny that he is a good look ing child, admitted nurse, grudgingly,
 but Tommy would be just as pretty l if he ony had them curls. She was probably right, as the little cousin had | tangle of golden curls that formed a lovely frame for the little face. which was really no prettier than Tommy's Becomingly arranged hair, slSillful dres- sing, good manners and other ct cete- ras, will go far to supply the little touches that nature has neglected, and many a clever woman has supplied the charm which nature has denied her SO skillfully that no one would suspect that 1t was not inherent.

R UsSIA,S NAYAL POWFR

A Russian naval critic has been look ing over the ground, or water, and he doesn't see much hope for what is left of the Russian navy. He does not be- lieve that the vladiyostok squadron will be able to offer material help to Admiral Rojestvensky. The latter, he concludes, must rely upon his re- sources. which are not by any means equal to the task of defeating Admiral Togo. The value of the opposing bat tie fleets, including armored cruisers. he estimates numerically at 613 to Ss4 in favor of Japan, his calculation be- ing based on a comparison between their fighting qualities in respect of speed, armament, and defensive armor Even if Admiral Togo should consider it necessary to detach four armored cruisers to intercept the vladivostok squadron, which he considers irnprob- able, the value of his fleet might still, he calculates, be stated as 451, thus leaving a considerable balance in his favor. The superiority of the Japanese in protected cruisers and in torpedo craft of all kinds he regards as too great for any comparison to be insti- tuted.
 The latest from Admiral Togo indi- cates that he takes Admiral Rojest- vensky seriously. During the inactiv- ity of the Japanese fleet it has been to all intents and purposes completely re- newed, the ships having been repaired, one or two at a time going to the Jap- anese arsenals for thorough overhaul ing, cleaning. and in some cases even rearmament.

 The boys poked 1t with their fingers and the fox-terriers parked at it, going within four or five inches of it's tiny claws and then backing away delight ed at the pluck which made the atom attempt to defend itself.
 It was a kitten with what girls call "cute" ways, and it made such an at tractive picture of self-defenee, with it's arched back and fluffy tail, that a young man sauntering up the street with girl stopped to gaze.

For more than a dozen years tea has been raised in South Carolina and the experience of all that time has demon- strated that while the cultivators in that State can not compete with the Chinese in raising the cheaper grades of tea. they can grow a very high quail ity that sells for a dollar a pound and can sell every pound that they raise pretty near home.
