TroubIes of the LandIady.

"Trouble?" said the landlady. "Why.

there's a million little things that you
have to keep looking out for ~ the

trouble. and one Of these is the serv-

"One person wants fat meat and
one wants lean. and one wants his
meat well done and another likes it
rare, and you not only have to re-

But after all, the chief trouble is

Six Widows Have Quarter Billion.


With another woman, Mrs william
Henry smith, i'm the ranks Of wealthy
widows--widows whose wealth is recl-
oned by tens OF millions-it has become
true that six of them alone, by mass=
ing their fortunes. could make total
of $3.50 00O.O0O Mrs. Smiths fortune
will not fan far short of S70,000,0O0. 1t
Is an amount almost as large as that
which Russell Sage left to his widow.
Mrs. smith is not a. well known
throughout the Union as IS Mrs. Sage.
Her widowhood is too recent, as il was
only a few e..ys ago that her husband
died in, Japan. for the glamour Of her
fortune TO surround her name Instead
OF the mans. as already has happened
i'm Mrs. Sage's caec. But her wealth
win change that quickly, for IL places
her among the four richest widows in
the country The six who by drawing
checks could make up a quarter-billion
are Mrs. sage. Mrs. smith Hetty
Green. Mrs. Anne Weightman Wa ker,
Mrs. Marshall Field and Mrs. MarshtA
Field. Jr. Each of the first four women
has a fortune several times as great IS
that of either Mrs. Field. In fact, it -
possible Mrs. Sage, Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
wa Ler and Mrs. Green could make
such a showing without the aid OF the
Chicago widows.

seeret Of eood Manner.

Most mothers hold. consciously OF
one of two theories about
the requirement of manners by their
children.
one mother says. Manners are only
the outward sign of the inner nature
IL my daughter has a kind heart and
a well trained mind she will behave in
A gentle. charming fashion. will teach
her compassion. respect for age, un-
selfish zeal for helping with the worlds
work. Her manners will take care OF
themselves"
Another mother says, My girls WI
never get on without conventional man
ners. They shall be taught from baby
hood to emulate the speech and bearing
of ladies. They shall be instructed In
the proper behavior for every occasion,
They shall walk and dance and write
and speak with graceful perfection
Unselhshness is truly the founda-
ton of good manners. but not the super
structure. Many convention restrictions
have grown about social relations. Some
can be explained by the demand OF
kindness and some cannot. Gould a
child infer from his desire to help others
that he should not eat with his knife2
Many offences against good taste inter-
fere in some way with the rights OF
others. but many others do not.
StiIl. no set of rules to produce pol
ished lady will achieve result fit for
the strain Of life. The manners of the
French boarding school may adorn the
ballroom, but are too likely to fail at
the breakfast table or in the crowded
car. The woman OF perfect manners
must reinforce her unselhshness py
social rules, and convenionalty must
oe vitalized by the warm desireUe
others pleasure. The best OF life never
comes naturally" whether in manners
or morals.
The secret of charming manners Is
the desire for them. When the mother
wishes them for her daughter as much
as she wishes the other goods OF the
world her daughter will have them

who saw Miss Nellie Donegan at the Auditorium week before last. will be surprised to read that she has rival, and when 1t is declared that Miss Darl- ing is Miss Donegan's superior. per haps many will refuse to believe 1t. However, Miss Darling claims to have a bunch of tricks that have never been duplicated on skates, and she declares her performances are possessed of a certain art beyond the mere stage of rivalry.
 Miss Darling this winter makes her first trip to the South. and newspapers of every city in which she has appeared have united in praising her feats. It Is said her chief prowess lies in her daring as an equilibrist, and her con trol. Supreme gracefulness takes the rough edge off the daring, and specta- tors hardly realize what the performer has risked until the end of the act.
 Miss Darling's performances will be enhanced by the music which the large pedestrian affords. Since this instru- ment, which plays with all the power and volume of a band of twenty one pieces, has been installed, the after noon and morning attendance has in- creased more than 50 per cent.
 Miss Darling will make her first ap- pearance tomorrow afternoon, and will continue throughout the week with two performances a day.

Calvin Coleman Admits Ownership of Headwear Found Near Body of J. A. Finley-NeGro Identifies
 Prisoner.

More evidence. which the police re- gard as connecting Calvin Coleman with the murdef of J. A. Finley, was brought to light yesterday. when De- teetives Payne and Jackson turned over to the county authorities, the hat which Coleman is supposed to have worn on the night of the killing Coleman was shown the hat, and is said to have ad- mitted 1t belonged to him.
 Unmistakable signs of blood were visible on the fine, light felt hat splotches of blood. apparently mixed with clay, were found on the hat, and the police are convinced Coleman wore the hat at the time he is alleged to have murdered Finley. The hat was found in field near the place where the dead mans body was found.
 negro, whose name is Jim Dixon was also taken to see the prisoner, and identified Coleman as the man he saw the Sunday morning after the killing. In the vicinity of Hendrix's store near Washington Park. Dixon corrobor- ates J. D. Hendrix in the fact that Coleman's clothes were bloody
