Presidential Possibilities.
HoKn SMITH.

HOhH SMITH.
1t is the belief that in the marshalling
of Democratic possibilities for the pre-
liminary heats, the South will make no
puny plea for candidate In the name OF
Its 25000,000 in population who have long
been the solid phalanx. Under present
conditions 1t would Seem that its can
didates will be accorded more than re-
spectful attention, and undoubtedly one
Of the first "favorite sons" to strike an
attitude in this political lime light or
lemon light, as the case may be, will
be the Hon. Hoke Smith, now Governor
of Georgia.
Mr.. Smith has great many political
friends In the two camps Of the party
that are under the so-called Bryan and
Cleveland standards. The linking of these
factions is no small task.
Hoke Smith was the Secretary of the
Interior under the Cleveland administra-
ton, but when Organism loomed large,
he Joined the free silver propaganda
heartily. In order to do so unhampered,
he resigned from Cleyeland's cabinet. He
is one Of the youngest eligible Democrats
who have had any experience with a ma
tional administration.
Hoke Smith-(how blessed, by the way,
is public man by the name Of Smith, who
has a striking front handle which sounds
like the German 'hoch!)-is rather radical
on all subjects, but inasmuch as these
opinions have been drawn out by the bit
terness of state fights, they will probably
be wisely ignored.
But Hoke Smith-as needs be-is rad
ical on the race question. In addition he
is forceful speaker of the old type. AS
indicative of his oratory, they told me
down in Georgia that during the middle
of his exciting campaign for governor, he
received the following letter:
perhaps you remember me. 1 live in
Athens, Ga. l attended the last meet
ing in which you spoke. I sat on the
stage. After your speech that night I
was paralyzed and l haven't recovered
since"
Hoke Smith, of course, took the proper
meaning out of the invalid's words and
sent him aid.

How Pictures Should Be Framed.


The framing of every picture is sep
nrate and special problem, and should be
so considered. The space the picture is
to occupy, the color and design of the
wall against which 1t is to hang, the
size of the picture, and the intensity of
the light which falls upon 1t are all to be
taken into account. There are certain
principles which may be applied gener-
ally, when they are understood, and those
that may be applied to special cases.
Whether or not mat shall be used Is
the first thing to consider. The main
function of mat is to separate the pic
ture from the background when the pic
ture Is so small or so nearly of ihs same
tone as the background that IL you'd
suffer when placed against 1t. A picture
that is sufficiently large to occupy the
field of vision, when Viewed from dis
tance suitable to get the best effect,
should be treated without a mat. A
large oil painting should always be framed
close, and large photograph may often
be treated in the same way.
Like a Frame a mat Is used solely to
enhance the beauty Of a picture, and for
this reason should always be subservient
to 1t. OF course, no ornament of any
kind should appear on or about the mat.
The width must vary to suit each indi-
vidual case. 1t should be considerably
greater than the width of the frame, but
smaller in area than the area of the pic
ture, or else it will become too promi-
nent.
An intermediate tone Is the best for
the color of the mat, neither the darkest
nor the lightest tone in the picture itself,
but always lighter than the frame. Etch-
ings, photographs and engravings, and all
pictures of one color, should have the
mat. as well as the frame, Of the same
general color as the picture, the mat neu-
trail. the frame darkest. Slightly tinted

Seizing An Opportunity.

There is an opportunity lying around
loose for any one quick-witted enough to
grasp 1t, and man can not only sur
mount misfortune, but actually thrive on
1t, II he keeps his wits about him. Here
is an instance that just comes to mind:
While San Francisco was yet smoking
and smouldering, I was In a newspaper
office .improvised from private house
when the bedraggled and weary reporters
began arriving. As they came in, the
city editor called each aside and told
him briefly that the circumstances re-
quired retrenchment and, as 1t was the
papers desire to keep the whole staff at
work until brighter times. salaries would
have to be reduced temporarily. Every
man assented cheerfuflly to So or $40
decrease, except one man.
"Oh, just came In to resign" said he.
Got crouch, Jim?"
mo-" was the reply, "but It struck me
yesterday that every safe In San Fran
cisco had been ruined-just at this law
less time when there are no banks.

safe manufacturers and sold $1,000 worth
of safes on my way down here from the

$4,000 In twelve days thereafter.

Enthusiasm for Vardaman

A former citizen of Vicksburg, who
is now a commercial traveller for a
large firm, and whose business takes
him into all the Mississippi counties
between Vicksburg and Memphis,
north and south. and across the state
east and west from the Mississippi
river to the Alabama line, was here
yesterday. He says that the people of
Vicksburg have no idea of the inter
est that is being taken in the senator
ial campaign by the people OF north
ern half of the state and that the en-
thusiasm for Vardaman is unbounded.
He says Vardaman will sweep all of
the north Mississippi counties by big
majorities. and that his election is a
certainty.
The gentleman says that the quiet
ness at Vicksburg in regard to the
senatorial campaign is in great con-
trast to the activity and enthusiasm
that prevails in other portions of the
state-Vicksburg Post.

tBy Associated press)


NEW YORK, Dec. 2l--riobcrl e..
Cai1well. the American who has been
one of the central figures In
the now famous bruce trial in
London, was arrested upon the
arrival OF tho steamer Kaiser
Auguste Victoria here today
on charge of perjury The warrant
upon which the Arrest was made had
been sworn out by the British consul
general at New York 1t represented
that Caldwell had been guilty OF
telling a false story when he appear
ed as witness for the claimants IN
the London court. When Caldwell
was taken before United States
commissioner his counsel said he
was a very sick man and he declared
1t to ba'a Cline to detain man in
Caldwelis condition, anu said he stood
ready to furnish bail in any amouht
for the prisoners appearance at a
later date. Two physicians were APP
pointed by til court to make an ex-
animation to determine whether his
condition was as serious as had been
represented.
The Charges Against CALDWELL.
LON~oN. Dec. 21-The charge
against Robert Caldwell IS conspiracy
wilful and corrupt perjury in the
evidence he gave while testifying in
the present bruce case. Papers giving
full details of this subject are being
| prepared by the home office and
Will be forwarded through the for
eign office as soon as possible. The
arrest OF the American, who was the
principal witness for the prosecution
and without whose testimony the case
probably would never have been
brought, will add immensely to the
already widespread interest In the
sensational suit.
The opening of the vault supposed
to contain the body of Thomas C..
Drude has been Professionally fixed
for December o. One result of ex-
aiming the vault will be to prove
Immediately the truth or falsity of
| one OF the main points In Caldwell's
| evidence and probably settle the
question Of his extradition Should
the statement about there being lead
in the coffin prove tn be true 1T is
nee believed that the British govern
ment would care particularly to pur,
sue the question.
