Grace Smell, a western woman, has
been making little stir by recently
getting married for the sixth time. She
was married at the age of sixteen to
Mr.. Coffin, a ooachman. Forgiven by
her father, she lived with Coffin for ten
years. She then found their tempera-
ments were incompatible, and they were
divorced, but four years afterward they
were reunited. A year went by, and,
divorced again, she married a hotel
clerk, to whom she gave $4,000. Two
years afterward she was divorced from
him, for, she said, he was a cruel per-
son and he burned manuscripts repre-
senting her literary labors," and in that
year she remarked Mr., Coffin only to
be divorced at the end Of d month. Two
years afterward she married another
hotel clerk, and last month she at
tempted to change her luck by we'd
ding a newspaper man. She is now
thirty-elght years old, and is, Of course,
"a beautiful woman"
Some hasty people will probably sniff
at Sister Shells performances, but it
may perhaps be noticed that while she
| has been married six times She has been
married the most to Mr.. Coffin, and so
has been pretty true to iler first love-
1t is too soon to Judge her case finally.
Perhaps she will be married several
more times, and her marriages may all
be legal. They have BEEN we believe,
SO far. And she can doubtless give
good reasons for all of them. She is
evidently lady of great decision, and
perhaps some indecision.

around trying to find soft spot on the

THE BRYAN REVIV4L.

William J. Bryan has been rejected,
but he has never been despised, and
now he is perhaps more solidly popular
than ever. 1t ts generally recognized
that he is a good-sized man, and that
he means as we'll as most men. 1t now
looks as if what calls itself the Demo-
cratic party will offer him the nominal
tion for President, and there are no
signs that he wont take it. He has
already been Endorsed by three States
Indiana, Arkansas and South Dakota
and he is going to be indorsed, some at
least, in New York. The Tribune puts
| it pertinently when it says; Certainly
the whirligig Of time has brought in it's
revenges when Colonel William j.
Bryan, after a discreet sojourn in far
countries, returns to New York to be
welcomed by all classes Of Democrats
with more effusion than was ever law
ished on Prodigal Son. The Demo-
cratic club has had itself "nationaliz-
ed" to impart special and fitting dig
nifty to the role it will play in this
! homecoming function. Hundreds of
representatives Of the once safe and
sane" element in the Democracy have
volunteered to serve on a Bryan recep-
tion committee, and Mr.. August. Bel
mont and Mr.. Delaney Nicoll have
united in certifying that Mr.. Bryan,
having taken first cure in conserva-
tism under their supervision two years
ago is already constructively safe and
sane" The Nebraska statesman re-
turns, indeed, not so much like the
Iprodigal forgiven for having scandaliz-
ed and wrecked the party in 1895, as
like a misunderstood and iI-appreciated
Cincinnatus, summoned from retire
1nent to give to a rnoribund political
organization a new lease of life. He is
the invigorator and savior to whom his
former detractors now turn with q
humble petition to let bygones be by.
cones. Just for the trifle of silver they
left him. Now they are tumbling over
themselves to pin the blue ribbon OF
orthodoxy and regularity on his coat.
1 1t is an interesting situation. Mr.
Bryan might as we'll be a candidate
once more. 1t wont hurt him ana wont
hurt the country. He was a great helE
to the country when his notions were
such as to scare the good and sole
people.

THE BAeD4D B41nnoAD AGAIN

THE BAGD4D RAILROAD AGAIN.
The European managers have a lot
Ito think about. The rumors concerning
an impending agreement Of some kind
between Russia and England have APP
parently reawakened German interest
in the Bagdad railroad scheme, of
which so much was heard some time
ago. The Cologne Gazette undertakes
to define the attitude of Germany to-
wards the future of that part of the
line connecting Bagdad with the Per-
sian Gulf German interests, II says,
are undoubtedly concerned In this mat
ter since the Deutsohe Bank obtained
the complete concession for the whole
railroad down to the GuIf-"a vested
right, of which, as matter of course,
neither Russia nor England can dis
pose, and in the possession of which the
Deutsche Bank must be protected by
the German Empire" 1t goes on to
say that the DeWsche Bank wished
other countries to aid in the execution
of so great an enterprise and had made
an offer to England which, FOR reasons
which cannot now be discussed" had
been declined. The only foreign capital
which participated in what was pure
ly German enterprise was French. II
Russia 1t continues, should desire to
connect her north Of Persia railroad
with the Bagdad railroad, there was no
reason why the latter should object to
connection with SO important a tribu-
tary line. But that the control of the
railroad between Bagdad ard the Gulf
should be British ii declares to lie out
of the question, inasmuch as the orig
inal proposal of the German concession
holders had been wrecked by the re-
fusal Of England to participate II
England and Russia are meditating
an agreement on this matter, 1t is
clearly their duty, says the Gazette, tt

ALL TOO WEAK.

The Boston Herald seems to feel that
the Harvard boys need warning. SO
it says: That annual yarn about the
Yale crew being the weakest ever is
again being circulated. The latest adj
vices from down where the elm trees
grow lead to the belief that most all
the varsity crew are in a hospital or
should be there; trainers have given up
their work to doctors and nurses. One
report says: yale takes to New Lon
don the weakest crew which she has
sent there since 1899, when Harvard
swept the Thames with three straight
races" Beware Of the Greeks bearing
gifts; beware Of the Yale men saying
they have lost their spirit and that
Harvard is going to win. They are
looking for suckers" Harvard boys
should tie a long, stout string around
their wad Of money. They should
emulate the man from Missouri and be
shown"
| From the Boston and Harvard stand
point this may be all right, but it is
a fact that there has never been a
really strong Yale crew. The Yale
standard is 50 high, and the Yale zeal
is so warm, that all crews seem weak
and they are weak in comparison with
what they ought to be. Still, they
seem to be strong enough to regularly
wallop Harvard, which is slightly en-
couraging.
