Whenever a girl goes out of town
for a visit rumors come back that
she is making a treme ndouS hit and
has COPIED out a MAN and there is
great excitement among the girls at
home who Immediately peg1n to buy
and make UP dry goods and renew
correspondence with their out
friends. By and by the prodigal
daughter returns and everybody
makes a fuss over her and watches the
third finger of her left hand for the
significant new ring. But it doesn't
appear and as days go by one hears
less and less of her conquest until
finally the subject is forgotten until
some one with a vulgar memory wakes
up and says: by the way what be-
came of that prince Of the royal blood
that Maize Farwell found when she
was visiting in Peoria, Illinois, and
who was coming out here after her in
a diamond studded automobile and
take her home to live IN a palace
with seventy-five Hveried servants?"
The friends who tout for her say
that a certain Topeka girl has a
Grand Beau who lives in a distant city
who is Just Crazy about her. Asked
why he never comes to Topeka to see
her they reply that she doesn't care
about him and won't allow him to
light. Have you, or have you not, a
moving picture of girh who could re-
sist the temptation to exhibit to the
other girls a Grand Beau from a dis
tant city who was Just Crazy about
her? Yes! you have not.

BROKE HIS SKULL.
Red Hot Iron Drops on Mans Head
from the FOrty-second Story.

New York, Jan. 23.-Dropping from
the forty-second story of the new Sing
er building on lower Broadway yester-
day afternoon a red hot five pound
soldering iron landed on the head of
mason helper, who was at work on the
twenty-seventh floor of the adjoining
City Investing building, burning and
fracturing his skull. The victim, John
Boyle. 36 years of age. was taken to a
hospital in a dying condition. 1t was
not learned who dropped the iron.
Another missile, this time from q
mysterious source, in the shape of a
good sized steel bolt, crashed down
through the skylight of the federal

Assistant Postmaster Murphy as he
was walking under the glass. Whence
it came is still a mystery.

THEY FORM A UNION.

Reduction in Salaries.

New York, Jan. 23.-Vaudeville
Comedy club and the white Rats
organizations composed of vaudeville
performers, have appointed COM
mittees to confer with regard to a plan
for a working agreement between the
two organizations. Now that the
competition in the vaudeville bust
ness is practically ended so far as the
managers are concerned, the per-
formers are of the opinion that a
great reduction in salaries will result
and the two organizations have there
fore practically agreed to combine in
an effort to keep up salaries. 1t is
stated by members of the organiza-
tons that there is no idea of q strike
of performers, but that the joint COM
mittee will act as a board of arbitra-
ton to settle disputes between per-
formers and managers.

Personal VOTES

A real daughter OF the revolution died
in New York state, lately, at the age OF

to her liking for bargain rushes as a
means of exercise.

made the whole town stare. He drew an
audience of 5000 people and every one Of
them paid 20 cents at the door for the
socialist campaign fund.

A bull in Massachusetts, stopped n fox

caught and tossed him. The hunt was
great sport, but 1t was all the bulls.

PAPER FROM CORN STALKS.

Government chemists, after a series
of experiments and Investigations, de-
clare that a good quality of print paper
can be manufactured from cornstalks,
and at a cost much below that now in
CURED in manufacturing it from wood
pulp.
The paper supply has been a source
of justified worry for a number of
years. The destruction OF the forest
areas has caused an almost complete
elimination of the sources of wood
pulp in this country, and the supply
has been drawn largely from Canada
for a number of years. AS a result the
prices have increased to the point
where the entire paper consuming
trade has been seriously affected. If
the results of the experiments by the
government experts are shown to be
practical, the discovery will be of
marked value to n of the largest in
dustries in the country. 1t will add,
incidentally, a new value to the farms
of the great corn belt, and also pro-
vide a way for putting one of the big
trusts out of business. 1t is as well,
perhaps, not to become too sanguine
over the cornstalk discovery. Chem,
lists have been working for years in a
search for a satisfactory substitute for
wood pulp. From time to time the
canebrakes of the south lands have
been looked upon as available for this
purpose, and the meek and lowly cac,
tus of the western plains has been
heralded as a pulp producer, but the
results have never justified either the
hopes or predictions of the scientists
1t is to be hoped that better success:
will come from the experiments with
the cornstalks.

THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.

A band of Mississippi citizens arose
in their might the other night, near
the city of Jackson, and hanged two
negroes who were charged with hav-
ing shot a white railroad conductor.
Then they burned the homes of the
negroes and those of other negro resi-
dents in the vicinity. The bodies of
the two negroes were left hanging
from a limb near the railroad tracks
so that Booker T. Washington, who
was to pass the station the next day
on. his way TO Memphis, could see
them. The day before the lyncbing
occurred, the Jackson Issue, the paper
owned and edited by J. X. Vardaman.
former governor of the state, printed
the following editorial:
II Booker T. Washington mskes a half
dozen more speeches in the state OF Mis-
sissippi, mark the prediction: 1t win he
the cause of a few i~nsolent negroes bejrs
hung and a source Of infinite worry ~ tha
housekeeper who is daily confronted with
the servant problem. For an Of which Ne
will be indebted to a few pale-faced negro
philists who encourage DR., Washington in
his nefariOus work.
Booker T. Washington's only Of
Tense is that he conducts a great
school for negroes in Alabama and has
become a factor in the educational
movement of the south. He is cop-
tinually urging the negroes to learn
trades, to make themseIye skIIad
workmen and to take their part in the
industrial life of the south, In doing
this he has accused the hatred of the
politicians Of the south of the Varda.

Y THE ELECTION.

AS oon as the results of the election
in 1895 was definitely known William
j. Bryan issued an address to the BIZ
metallists of the nation, in which he
charged that the republican victory
had been won by the corrupt use of
money, by coercion and the work of
syndicates and trusts. He has reit-
Grated this statement from time to
time, until perhaps he believes 1t.
Now he that the repub-
licans are going to buy the election
again this year. In speeches at Alton
and Chicago on Monday Mr.. Bryan de-
clared that the republicans were at
tempting to raise a fund of 81, 000, 900
the money loaners, the banks and syn
dicates and for using the none "as
they have used it year after year."
Ike Hill, a famous New Jersey DEM
ocrat who figured prominently in poll
tics at Washington for many years,
once replied, when asked Just before
election what the outlook in New Jersey
was, We've got EN- whipped If they
don't buy u.s." Mr.. Bryan practically
declares a similar situation to exist
today. He believes the democrats will
win if they are not bought before cleo
ton.
1t seems impossible for Mr.. Bryan
to avoid indulgence in such buncombe,
which in this case is an insult to the
intelligence and integrity Of the Ameri-
can voters. The men who decide cleo
lions in this country are not bought
and sold like cigars. The farmers and
workingmen to whom Mr.. Bryan has
been making his most eloquent appeals
for support will not be slow to resent
his charge that they may be bribed to
vote for or against him.

THE SALARY OF A BISHOP.

Rev. Alexander Mann of Boston has
declined to accept the position Of
bishop of Washington, because he
states that he has no private income
and cannot afford to live in Washing
ton and meet the demands made upon
a bishop on a salary of $1,000 a year.
Bishop Brent, now in the Philippines,
recently declined the Washington post,
explaining that he considered it his
duty to remain in the Philippines, and
further that he could not afford, from
a financial standpoint, to make the
change.
The late Bishop Satterlee had a pri-
vate income of $4,000 a year and is
credited with having used practically
all of it. Some Of the Washington
papers are urging that the salary of
the bishop of that diocese be increased
to at least $40, 900 a year, and the
suggestion has caused much discussion
in Episcopal church circles. 1t is
urged that the clergy is u%nderpaid at
best and hat 1t is impossible to Sc
cure men Of high ability to fill such
posts as that at Washington unless
they have means of their own. That
the possession of a private fortune
should be admitted as a qualification
for a bishop of the church in Wash
ington or elsewhere is a jar to the
sensibilities of churchmen, and it is a
source of regret hat consecrated
clergymen should hesitate to under
take a great work through fear Of
failure due to poverty.
