There Is curious old market near
Paris In which everything is sold at
secondhand. Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to
foot. AS writer says: Mimi can sell
her old felt hat and buy straw one,
exchange her old dress for a new one
and. If she likes. buy a steak and a
salad for her dinner. a paper bag OF
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention rs paid to
the millionaire who is looking for
something marvellous which he may
pick up cheap than to the man with a
wooden leg who wants a new boot In
exchange for a dozen sardine tins, five
gloves and stocking.

HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO.
They Are Numerous, but Are Not All
Local Celebrations


The visitor In Mexico is apt TO be
surprised at the number OF holidays
celebrated here and made the occasion
OF rejoicing. with accompanying music
and decoration. and is likely TO think
that the Mexican. does nothing but
celebrate
With his religious and national feast
days, the Mexican does have many
holidays OF more or less general i'm
portance, and when he is not celebrat-
ing these he may be celebrating the
day OF his patron saint or OF that OF
some member OF his family, so that 1t
seems 10 require little lnducement for
him to celebrate. II a member OF the
family goes out OF town for n few
days or weeks, his return Is celebrat-
ed In some mild way and his welcome
home made pleasant
But not all OF the celebrations which
take place In the capital are Mexican,
as the foreign colonies contribute their
share OF feast days. The Americans
celebrate their day OF Independence on
the glorious Fourth OF July, and ten
days later the French celebrate the
British celebrating the birthday OF
their king. the Italians the entry into
Rome OF the troops OF united Italy, the
Germans the birthday OF the kaiser,
the Swiss the day OF the formation OF
the confederation. The Spanish cele-
brate the birthday OF their king, and
In September their feast OF Corvodon-
ga is important enough to last three
days. No doubt there are other cele-
brations not so public or prominent,
such as the Chinese New Year and
others, but the above goes to show
that not all the feasting In the capital
Is done by natives. An interesting
point, however is that foreigners who
come to Mexico are soon the keenest
for the coming OF the various holidays.

HEARST'S CANVASS.

Mr.. William Il. Hearst started
out in the race for Governor of New
York as an independent candidate,
and he seems to be as independent
now as he would have been if he
had not been subsequently nomi-
mated by the Democratic convention
at Buffalo. In utter defiance of
Tammany and its bosses, the Hearst
leaders announce that independent
nominations in the local field will
not be withdrawn. and that before
the last of the week the Hearst or
ganiZation may find it to its advan-
tage to make 4 clean sweep and
run a complete ticket in opposition
tothe Tammany ticket. Tammany
leaders, it is stated in New York
dispatch, were thunder-struck at
this second reputation of a deal
entered into by Hearst with Boss
Murphy, whereby Hearst bound
himself to let Murphy have the
local field to himself in exchange
for his support for a Hearst en-
dorsement.
Mr.. Hearst may have made a
deal with Boss Murphy, but there
is no evidence of itin the campaign.
The Times-Dispatch confesses to
surprise at the course which Mr..
Hearst has pursued. His speeches
have been bold in denunciation OF
bossism and corruption, but devoid
of socialistic and demagogic appeal
to the radical element, such as we
had been led to expect.
A citizen of New York, who is g
visitor in Richmond, declares thai
the extreme Bryan men in New
York City are opposing Hearst, and
expresses the opinion that it is the
purpose of Tammany to give him
such defeat as to retire him for
ever from New York politics. But
all this is more or less surmise. The
ballot will tell the tale, and from
this distance it appears that Hearst
will poll a very large vote. The
betting is against him at odds three
to one; but the betting was also
against him in the mayoralty
contest, and many believe tina
Hearst received a majority of the
votes cast.-Richmond Times
Dispatch.
That is really the most sensibl,
statement it has made concerning
Mr.. Hearst; and we are puzzled t.
account for it.
The Times-Dispatch confesses it,
ignorance of Mr.. Hearst when i
says such as we had been led t.
expect"
Who led the esteemed Richmond
daily to expect anything than hon
esty from Mr.. Hearst?
AS we see the matter now, tn,
Times-Dispatch is either makins
belated apology for its former en-
tirely unmerited denunciation O
MIR. Hearst, or is trying to get il
line with majority of the news
papers of the country (who ar,
supporting Hearst).
In either event we know this
The Times-Dispatch doesn't know
the remoJest thing about Hearst: q
