Her voice IS excellent, but about inc ,oon,,ar or her singing there is one marked idiol syncrasy Her upper lip is kept rieidlv ana persistently pulled down. The sana peculiarity is noticeable when sha speaks Mir. Hamilton observes. and LOOKS suspicious He indulges in n den cate compliment, which would make the lace or any other woman in the room expand with wreathed smiles The re- cipient appreciates it-with her eyes. but not with her mouth. That upper lip Is quite immovable. Mir. Hamilton next cracks few jokes They are funny ones, and evoke responsive laughter from everyone within hearing-except the per- son for whose benefit they were made At last, gentler tactics having failed he leans toward her. and says In a whisper will you kindly smile?" The game is up; her bluff has been called. But hop ing against hope. she feigns ignorance of his motive and responds only ginger ly. Without doubt, there must be plain talking.
 'I would like to see your teeth,'' says Mir. Hamilton uncompromisingly.
 After an instant of hesitation. the long desired smile appears. It is made to order. and not nearly so pleasant as it might have been had it served as the response to the gentle bait of joke a little while before. But it aecomplishes what was desired of it. That sternly drawn upper lip had something to con- ceal Half of the front teeth gone. After the first, rather tense moment of discovery both parties concerned relax, and begin to laugh.
 They'll have to be fixed" said Mir. Hamilton. Girls in the chorus must smile and they can't do it properly with out showing their teeth. You must have some bridging done. Be sure not to get any gold
 'Will there be a position for me then?"
 MT Hamilton thinks there will. and she of the firm upper lip departs in haste to the dentists.

Desc rtions From Federal Army.

Hardly @ day passes that the war de- pertinent is not in receipt of an inquiry regarding the number of assertions from the Federal army during the civil war. What causes the subject to keep alive no one knows. They are evidently based on newspaper statistics to this or that ef- feet, principally alleging that certain percentage of deserters were of this or that nativity. The records of the depart ment have not been so kept that the nativity of deserers is ascertainable and any assertion of percentages based on that feature Is not trustworthy No one knows the actual number of assertions in the army in the civil war and the military secretary. General Answorth, estimates that the number of actual deserters at the close of the war 117,247, and this makes due allowance for these incorrectly re- ported as deserters.
 Representative Bowie left for his home in Alabama tonight.

 Honesty, Sanity and Self-restraint
 Ut is a prime necessity that if the present unrest is to result in permanent good the emotion shall be translated into action, and that the action shall be mark ed by honesty sanity, and self-restraint. There Is mighty little good in a mere Epasm of reform. The reform that counts is that which comes through steady, con- tinuous growth; violent emotionalism leads to exhaustion.
 Tt is important to this people to grap- pie with the problems connected with the amasslng of enormous fortunes and the use of those fortunes, both corporate and jndiViduali in business. We should dis SIlHlnate III the SHaTpeSl WdA DelWeti fortunes well-won and fortunes iil-won; between those gained as an incident to performing great services to the commu- Iity as whole, and those gained in evil fashion by keeping just within the limits Of mere awhonesty Of course no amount Of charity in spending such fortunes in any way compensates for misconduct in making them. As q matter of personal conviction, and without pretending to a iI. ,In4a tenn, 1 feel that we shall ultimately have to consider the adoption of some such scheme that of a progressive tax on all fortunes. beyond q certain amount, nither given in life or devised or bequeath- ed upon death to any individual-a tax so framed as to put 1t out of the power of the owner of one of these enormous fortunes to hand on more than certain amount to any one individual; the tax of course, to be imposed by the national and not the state government Such taxation should. of course, be aimed merely at the inheritance or transmission in their entirety of those fortunes swollen be- yond all healthy limits.
 Supervision Over Corporations.
 Again, the national government must in some form exercise supervision over corporations engaged in interstate busi- ness-and all large corporations are en- gagged in interstate business-whether by license or otherwise, so as to permit us to deal with the far-reaehing evils of over capitalization. This year we are making beginning in the direction of serious effort to settle some of these economic problems by the railway-rate legislation. Such legislation. if so framed, as l am sure it will be, as to secure definite and tangible results. will amount to some thing of itself. and il will amount to n great deal more in so far as it is taken as q first step in the direction of policy of superntendence and control over corporate wealth engaged in inter-

Southern Members Have Cold chilIs.

For few minutes today it looked as though the fast mail appropriation for the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railways, which was embraced in the postoffice bill of yesterday, would be stricken from the bill The change in the vote decreased the majority from three to one, the record vote now being 97 to 96. As soon as the Journal was read MT. Ste vens of Texas declared that he was TO . corded as voting for the appropriation when as a matter of fact he was not in the House.
 He had hardly taken his seat when Representative Steenerson of Minnesota, arose and said that he noticed that his colleague, Representative Hodge was re- corded as voting for the fast mail where as MT. Hedge was not in the house. A half dozen members were immediately upon their feet clamorng for recognition to correct the journal Fortunately for the appropriation they were recorded cor rectly on the vote, and only wanted to change minor statements.
 The southern members whose localities are benefited by the appropriation. had the coldest kind of a chill during the proceeding.

Persian Dramatlcs.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A traveller. speaking of some of tho oddities of Persian customs when viewed with Occidental eyes, said
 "Dependng as we do upon illusion and scenic effects in our theatres, the pre- sentation of Persian play by native per formers strikes the westerner as little short of ridiculous, the extreme solemn ity of all concerned making the appeal to hilarity all the stronger. In one or their favorite miracle plays the prophet is supposed to ascend to heaven and this dramatic incident Is accomplished by the very simple expedient of drawing him up from the stage and out of sight with a block and tackle. The tackle Is at tached to his belt by an attendant Tn plain view of the audience So strong, however. is the imaginative power in the Oriental that many of the onlookers Will be observed weeping openly

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam-
ed you have a rumb1ing sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

SENATOR FORAKER still contin-
ues to tear his clothes in his frantic
ranting in behalf of the murderous
negroes who disgraced the United
States uniform and blackened the
record of the Twenty-ffth Infan-
try by their infamous and bastard
" outrage upon Brownsville. Mr..
Foraker not only challenges the
testimony of Brownsville citizens,
but also makes a personal assault
upon the veracity of Major Block
som, than whom no more gentle
manly officer of the army ever
visited this place. There is little
fear. however, that the great ma
jority of American newspaper
readers will not be able to distin-
guish the truth of the calm, digui-
fed and impartial statement of
Major Blocksom, and also between
the earnest tone of honest convic-
ton and manly determination of
President Roosevelt's message on
the subject, and the wild, political
rantings of the senator from Ohio.
Mr.. Foraker is too evidently max
ing a grand stand play to the
colored voters of the north.

POIand's Pitiable Condition.

The situation of Poland to-day
is pitiable. Business in Warsaw
has fallen of so per cent and more;
the fashionable boulevards are
partly deserted; the restaurants are
but half flied, and the leading
hotel is running at a loss. The
city swarms with troops, but
martial law brings only oppression,
not security. Hardly a day passes
but officials are killed or wounded
by the terrorists, while suspected
persons are arrested, dubbed or
shot to death by the authorities.
The terrorists are strong enough
to defy the Government, while the
Government is strong enough to
crush a general revolt, and the
result is anarchy. When it will
end no one can tell. But some
day peace will surely come, for
Poland is to have autonomy. The
Poles demand it. The great
majority of the Russian Duma has
promised it, and Russian liberal
ism must eventually win.-G. H.
Blakeslee in the Outlook.
