Wonderful Marble Bible.

From the London Tattler.
Great as has been the amount of labor ex-
pended on the various Bibles of the world,
the palm for execution must be given to
the kutho- daw, which is a Buddhist monu-
ment near Mandalay in Burma. 1t consists
of about a hundred temples, each contain
ing a slab of white marble on which the
whole of the Buddhists' Bible, consisting of
more than 100000 syllables, has been en-
graved. The Burmese alphabet is used, but
the language is Pail. This wonderful Bible
is absolutely unique. The Kutho-daw was
erected in 1857 by Mindon-Min the last king
but one of Burma. The vast collection of
temples together form a square, with a
dominating temple in the center. Each of
the marble slabs which the sacred texts
are inscribed is surmounted by an orna-
mental canopy in pagoda form

oDELL THE MACHINE-MAKER
Founder of Commercial School of POli'
 tics in New York State.


 Philadelphia North American.
 Beniamin B. Odell, Jr., the deposed leader of the New York Republican machine. might be called the founder of the purely commercial school or pol itics In this State. It was he who reduced bossism to strictly business basis.
 His predecessor. Thomas c. Platt, was an easy boss There isn't a grain of sentiment in Odell when II comes to politics.
 PIatt is considered far and way a better politician. but when It comes to the building up of a machine ah9 1 the details of organization. the oln Senator never was In the same class as the former Governor. And no one knew this better than Platt.
 If was for this reason that the easy boss" hunted up Odell in lS92' and made him Chairman of the Exec utive Committee of the State Commit tee. For twelve years the party had been out of power in the state py req son of the Stalwart- -Halfbreed tlght' .and Grover cleveland had just swept the country for the Presidency.
 Platt saw that the organization Tn the Empire State was fast going 10 njeces and would need strong hand to preserve it from total wreck. Al that time Odell was poor and obscure. From a little office in Broadway ne was trying to promote slot machine into which you could drop d hichei and get two postage stamps.
 If is true that he had an interest in the family ice business at Newburg. but that was comparatively smdi, matter, in view of the fact that Odeli is now believed to be worth $2.OOO'oOo'
 Platt had heard of his genius Ter organization through reports on the
 in nnllticS of his native city. So he made him Chairman of the Executive Committed
 In the following year the RepuoH . can machine returned to power ana it has held on like grim death ever since. From the business side it is to- day probably the most perfect politi- cal organization in the country. Credit for this is mainly due to Odell.
 The State Committee, of which Odell Is now chairman. maintains perma . nent headquarters in the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel. and it's affairs are admin istered like those of a business organ ization.
 As an illustration of how closely in touch it is with every village and hamlet in the State, 1t may be said that in 1902. when Odell was running for Governor the second time the com mittee made a canvass a week before election This poll showed that Odell would be elected by $500 out of a to- tai vote of 1,3O0.o00. Odelrs actual primary was S,S03.

 It is a great good quality to be able to admit you are in the wrong.

 Then you take into consideration the fact that common sense garments are rarely pretty and that they usually contrive to make a woman look her worst and you will understand why few women can feel easy in their minds and therefore comfortable in them.

Northern cities and in the frigid North west rather than in the South, with its temperate climate, it's fertile soil and It's rapidly increasing prosperity and assured future?
 There are two things that are es- sential to the success of any effort to bring immigrants to South Caroli- na or to the South. Those are time and the cooperation of other and con | tiguous States. Rome was not built in a day, nor can the turning or the
 current of immigration soutnward be
 effected in the short span of year.
 Patience is essential. We of the South
 must keep hammering, and in time our
 efforts will tell. So, too. it Is essen
 tial that in this effort to secure our
 needed immigration there be d pull
 ing all together among the Southern
 States. We must work as section, 1 and it is because this is so necessary that the dispatch printed above, con-
 corning Governor Jelks of Alabama, Is
 SO welcome bit of intelligence. South 1 Carolina alone cannot hope to over 1 come the efforts of the monster rail- | road systems that traverse the country
 westward, and which are exerting, and have been exerting for years, their
 energies to keep the tide of immigra- l ton moving along the course of their
 lines. South Carolina alone cannot
 hope at once to disabuse the minds
 of immigrants of the misconception | of the South that have been indus triously circulated by these trans7con- i tinental railroads In It's endeavors to turn immigration toward this sec
 tion, the South is waging a campaign
 not only against long established GUS
 toms but also against carefully incul- cated ignorance.
 To overcome these obstacles In the i way of Southern immigration, 1t Is
 imperative that the South should work
 in unison. giving the strength of con certed action to the movement: 1T

Getting Together on Immigration.

ColumDla State'
 In recent issue of The New York Commercial there appeared this dis patch from Montgomery, Ala:
 In the near future Governor W. D. Jelks will call meeting of industrial and railroad men of Alabama for the purpose of devising means for keep ing an agent to secure immigration for the States at Ellis Island.
 There is no money in the control of the Governor for this purpose. but he hopes to induce those interests de- string more labor to put up the ex- penses.
 This is encouraging. and a step, we believe, in the right direction. The figures recently given out by Com missioner of Immigration Sargent have caused considerable discussion on the part of the Southern press as to why if Is that the South has re- ceived so small a share of the immi- grafton that Is coming to this coun- try in such huge volume. Why, Is asked does the South not attract these immigrants? Why do the immigrants continue to settle in the congested

 I gather from what I have seen of the advance styles that wash waists next summer arc to be very pretty They will all be made up in the softest batiste and mulls and the small caught up sleeves will lend them a charm no one can appreciate who has not seen the advance French models.
 There is very little indication that long sleeves will be worn. Even in this winter weather you can sec for yourselves how the elbow sleeve reigns. Hats will be exquisite next spring. with odd picture shapes and dainty combinations of color.
