THE LOVERS CANDLES.
An Old Courtsiiip Custom That sti11
Prevails In Poland.

A quaint old superstition Is TO this
day held in Poland to the effect that
two lighted candles set ahoat on the
river by two overs will by their con-
duct foretell If the course Of true love
will run smooth or otherwise.
The lovers candles" are launched
at very pretty water fete that takes
place every summer on that part Of the
Vistula which runs through Poland. 1t
commences at sunset. The river Is
thronged with procession Of little
boats containing masked ladies' and
gentlemen. Each person carries two
wreaths and two candles, the latter
representing the person carrying them
and the object Of his or her affections
They are lighted, fixed firmly in the
center OF the wrcaths and laid side by
side In the water Should they float
down the river close together ii is a
sign that their lives should be united.
Should they drift away from each 9th
er IL is a sign that the lovers will be
parted, and should they only drift
asunder for little way and farther on
come together again il is a sign that
the loved ones will only be parted for
a time and all come right in the end.
There is much method and order about
the arrangement Of this procession.
The boats glide along in rows, so many
abreast and after the first row have
proved their wrcaths they move away
TO the sides and the others come for
ward in succession The river is well
Illuminated, and large concourse OF
people assemblies to watch the pro
ceedings. The scene Is n charming one
and reminds one more Of fairylanG
than Of anything else.

1t should not require a magazine
article, however drastic. to show the
people OF Rhode Island that their DO.
litical idol has feet Of clay" A
little study and observation will con
vince any fair and open minded citi.
zen that Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
is not only a much over-rated states
man, but also, in q sense, a decided
failure. Stripped of the glamour of
success attained by the willy arts of
a ward politician with national oppor-
tunities, he really stands before the
word a pitiful spectacle of man pos
sessing only the most sordid and self
ish ambitions. His career is one for
which the people of this State should
blush, rather than applaud. In all his
thirty years in Congress he has never
shown semblance of greatness in
word or deed and has done practically
nothing for the State that has given
him his opportunity to grow rich and
in way powerful. His interest in
Rhode Island has been limited to a
desire TO control affairs sufficiently to
ensure his re-eections. The details of
the management of the State machine
has been left to others and his con.
stituency its needs and desires, has
evidently been as foreign To his
thoughts as those of the people of
Alaska, except for a brief period be-
fore his elections, when he appears
before them with the glad prediction
hand and a few tariff platitudes. In
stead of being a servant of the people
of the State that gives him its highest
political honors, he allows him
self to be worshipped from afar, and
by keeping discreetly silent endeavors
to keep up the worn out fallacy that
he Is a great statesman His only pos
sible claim to fame is the fact that
he has helped manipulate the sched.
ules of two or three unjust tariff
bills, the purposes of which were to
make the rich more opulent and the
poor more poor and wretched. AS a
prime protector Of trusts and vested
interests he stands closer to the great
owners of wealth than any other man
in Congress, and to this fact can be
ascribed much of his ascendency over
his confreres i'm Washington. II the
people of Rhode Island are satisfied ia
bssk in the cold and distant favors of
so unrepresentative a representative
they are truly easily pleased. He has
reached the zenith of his really small
sized greatness. and his name instead
OF being honored, may become a bye
word and a reproach.

MATELE6S PIGEONS.
