"Cupid and the Dollar"

The name Of Charles Jeffrey, given
as that OF the author of Tim Murphy's
current success, Cupid and the Dol
Jar" Is fictitious and screens the
identity OF a well known diplomatic
parsonage whose revelations in this
play are so intimate to himself and
other Americans and Europeans of
international reputation that he does
not wish to be known as its author.
That there is something in a name
is evidently believed by Tim Murphy
for he has a name for nearly every
thing animate and inanimate on his
Long Island country place. His am
able COW he has named after Wag-
ner's hero: "Low-and-Grin." Two OF
his pigs he has given nautical names:

From Pearson Weekly.
 If the average sentenced criminal were allowed to select his place of confinement his choice would probably fall on the Clock Tower Prison at Westminster, as that is the very finest prison in Great Britain and Is able to supply comforts and luxuries quite unknown to the ordi- nary Bill Sikes.
 But the law decides that members of Parliament only may be confined in that gaol, although rank outsiders could be committed to the Clock Tower for certain offenses against the rules and regula- tions of Parliament
 The Clock Tower Prison, as it exists to- day. was erected in connection with the house occupied by the sergeant-at-arms This official is in complete charge of any member committed to the Clock Tower, and a member cannot easily make his es- cape, because, in order to do so. he must pass through the house of the sergeant.
 Very few members of Parliament are committed to the Clock Tower in these days. We have to go back many years to find a precedent, MT. Charles Bradlaugh being the last member to occupy the cells of the Clock Tower, and he did not occupy them long. He was handed over to the custody of the serseant-at-arms on June

23, 1880, committed to the Tower and re- leased the next day.
 MT. Bradlaugh is the only M. P who has been sent to the Clock Tower within the last 56 years. Indeed he is the only M. F. who has ever occupied the existing cells.
 There are two sets of cells in the Clock Tower, an upper and lower, but both suits of cells are much the same In each there is sitting room of very ample proportions. well carpeted and furnished. and replete with most of the things which go toward making one comfortable.
 In each suit there are two bed rooms one for the use of the imprisoned M. P, the other for the convenience of the gaoler who must always be on the spot. in order to see that the legislator makes no attempt to. escape.
 Any member of Parliament sent to the Clock Tower by order of the speaker would be required to pay for his own food, and if he did not do so. he could be sued In court. Any legislator incar- cerated in the Clock Tower would be al- lowed to rise of a morning just when he pleased. and he could retire to bed when the spirit moved him. He could read to his hearts content and smoke as much as he liked, there being no restrictions over such matters; his whole punishment his fellows and mixing with them.
 He would be taken out to exercise. but

Under no circumstances would he pc al lowed to hold converse with his feiiow men, One way or another an imprisoned M P. would not have bad time or It, and he would not be kept in connnemehc for any lengthy period.
 But, If the Clock Tower is not much used nowadays, the Tower-the prison of the House of Commons of a former day was much fin evidence. In olden times a passing remark, an observation obnox- ious to the House, or, indeed. any trifie. was sufficient to send the culplit forth with to the Tower, and not to the Tower only. for q member could be committed to Newgate.

Re- sult-the Tower. However, the member was released next day and severely repri- handed for his ridiculous behavior
 The Tower was made use of by the Long Parliament. In one day as many as Il Presbyterian members of the House were committed to the custody of the sergeant-at-arms and flung into the Tow CT. And, to show that members were not committed for errors in speech alone. on. has only to mention the case of Captain Churchill who in 1869 was committed to the Tower for refusing to take merchant

The top of the corsage Is semi Greek in style and is composed of d white chemisette of lingerie interspaced with Valenciennes insertion, while over this is arranged coarse silk tulle and taffetas in graceful folds. In this dress the sleeves are elbow length.
 For the grand prix some wonderful nov cities were turned out by the Houses in the Rue de la Paix. Paquin still clings to the sheath dress, and their models are lighter and more clingng than ever; in order that this can be effective they have had to invent new materials which are almost elastic
 In addition to the directoire, we have the tanagra style. This consists of skirt opened up at the side above the knee over pelisse of mousseine de sole of the same shade and having short serpentine train at the back. With this style of dress a new manner of walking has become nec- essary which reminds one of the gliding of serpent
 Yet with this ultra tightness we are wearing immense rufhes and ruches of tulle and lace round the neck. With these ruffies round the neck huge ruches of tulle are placed round the hat as trimming. In

Paris. June O.-Nothwithstanding op- position and ridicule, the directoire dress, modified and with 10CO little details, IS seen at all smart functions. Many Amer ican women at present in Europe have tried this style and have found 1t so charming and becoming that they have ordered not one, but several of these dresses.
 Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who was in Paris for a few days, gave an order at Worth for two such frocks for her daughter. who is tall and graceful and slender. One is in delightful shade of golden khaki meteore The skirt is cut long, but not too long, The bust and waist are draped in tiny folds, and the white tucked auimpe is outlined with rich antique em- broidery. The flat tucked sleeves are very long, and a lace frill falls over the hands.

 In those days they had to pay stifrly for the privilege of being sent to the Tow CT, as witness an extract from the diary of Lord Clarendon, written the day fol- lowing his committal to the Tower He says: MT. bod brought me a note of the fees, which come to 213O, viz: the gov ernor.

The newest hats have a tendency to be- come large and flat. They are trimmed with immense ruches of ostrich plumes with four or five huge ostrich feathers punched at the side. The brims are not turned up at the sides at all, but just al- lowed to drop as they will. With the very popular wheat color a ruche of the same shade is used and then the hat has long black velvet strings to tie under the chin.
 So great has become the taste for ele- gance that even the simplest country cos tunes must hang perfectly and be of ire proachable cut The Parisienne has taken a hint from America and adopted the short skirt for the country, but the French short skirt Is very short indeed and does not by any means cover the ankle

ISN'T 1T WONDERFUL.

Comparatively speaking only a
few years ago, people were COM
PEELED to spend n week or a month
on the road to- travel hundred or
so miles. Great hardships attend
ed these journeys; the nights had to
be spent in the open because the
country was not settled thickly
enough to allow travellers the luxury
to sleep In a bed under a roof. Vari-
Gus inventions, such as the locomo-
tive, the parlor and sleeping cars
make 1t a luxury to travel today.
Work Of all kinds has been made
easier for everyone. All are aware
along with their work in the old
way, when they could, by merely US
ing the many suggestions which are
put before them. make play of their
work. The Blueheld Daily Leader

cured the distribution OF a work
which now is in many homes. None
OF the owners OF the work would

More than 5000 practical recipes

suggestions OF the greatest impor-
lance to every housekeeper are
found here by the hundred: all of
these have been tried and proven
themselves to be OF the greatest
help and to tighten the work OF the
housekeeper. Many OF our sub
seribers have taken advantage OF

For one we are glad to note that
the Republicans in the house have
deliberately gone to record in favor
of the Crumpacked proposition to
reduce southern representation i'm

disfranchisement. This because such
action makes plain the fact that the
south can not consider the idea of
breaking or weakening it's present
political solidarity. In the light of
the occurrence, southern state
