CIRCULATION
THE HOW OF 1T.

This IS an age when it is fashion
able for public servants 10 stand pat
and in this way the plaudits of an
interested constituency are usually OBJ
tanned.
The fourteen republicans who voted
for Hill on Tuesday had the right
spirit had it not been misapplied
Standing pat for a good principle is
all right, but standing pat against a
majority to perpetuate discord is not
very commendable.
The battle had been fought and the
victory won and the result had been
approved by Mr.. Brandegee's oppon-
ents and they were the ones who in
caucus were able to make his nomina-
ton unanimous, and that ending Of the
senatorial fight was pleasing to Con-
gresham Hill, who is an able tacti-
clan and who realizes the value Of har-
mony as expressed in the concessions
and action Of a good loser. These
men were all bound by the action of
the caucus, but they revolted and stood
pat for political disorder, which is far
from being to their credit.
It did no special harm. although it
prevented the unanimous support of
the republicans to Brandegee, some
thing which was not likely to- have
happened had Congressman Hin been
selected by a majority in caucus.
II is well enough to value properly
the amenities of politics as well as its
antagonisms. The fourteen distin-
guished themselves for doing wrong
for acting the part of the dog in the
manager.

THE NEW FoULARDs.

It was to be expected that the DOM
mating fashion for soft fabrics would
bring back the use of foulards and
pongees. Both are appearing in the
new goods shown for spring and for
late winter in southern resorts.
The pongee is unlike anything seen
before. There seems to be no end to
the invention of the manufacturers
along this line. The new material is
called himalaya cloth and comes in
stripes. checks and two-tone plaids.
F'oulard was always an excellent
material. It had most wearable quail
ties. 1t has risen and fallen in favor
for decades, although there are some
women who dress in first style who
are never without one smart foulard
frOck.
The new weave is in all the popular
colors, such as canard blue, wistaria,
catawba, Egyptian red, chestnut and
sapphire.
It is prettier with the coin dot as a
design than the small sprig, but most
Of the newest designs show an allover
scrollwork in white or In another tone
of tho same color that is quite attract
i've.
This material makes up into in
formal indoor gowns and can be built
with enough elaborateness to serve
for the theater. The present method
of making a frock with a high waist
ed skirt and an upper bodice without
a stock and of lace and net with a
little galloon or bullion trimming gives
one a chance to make an obscure ma
terial go far.

The first Hams trial was a disap-
polntment to all law-respecting citi-
gems in that it recognized the right
Of violence over order in the settle
ment Of personal grievances.
The loquacity of Hams after his ac-
quittal, and his commentator Of the
jury for placing the unwritten law
above the written law-for endorsing
violence and savagery where decency
and order would have been better,
proved to be very netting to the jury,
the foreman Of which ventured to ex-
plain how the decision was reached
and the effect Of the whole matter will
be to make the jury in the case OF
Capt. Peter Hams more careful in
their conclusions.
When the cause of this tragedy is
squarely faced It Is found to be in the
larks and the weaknesses of Mrs Pc
ter Hams. and she was accessory to
the crime as well as Thornton ].
Mains, but no one indfcts her for her
infidellty, for her criminal conduct.
which was the cause of Annis' demor-
alization and assassination.
The Bulletin doesn't like the acquit-
tai of Thornton ]. Hams. but It must
concede that It does not know why he
deserves Imprisonment any more than
Mrs. Peter Hams, whose love letters,
larks, and athletic sprightliness were
the damnation Of William z. Annis
as well as Of Captain Hams.
Justice ought to reach causes: and
this superficial way Of dealing with
capital offenses is far from being right
or commendatory. It is a nisconcep-
ton Of both justice and chivalry to let
such a woman go scot free"

RETIRED ARMY OFFICERS NEED
ED.

The shortage of commissioned off,
GERS in the army. 612, which congress
declines to make good has prompted
the war department to ask for author
ity to employ $50 officers on the retired
list in positions now occupied by men
who may be sent to the front. In re-
gard to this condition of things, a Bos-
ton paper says:
"Inasmuch as many now on the re-
tired list would welcome such en-
ployment as military instructors, or
in connection with the militia, it would
seem that congress ought unhesitat-
ingly to grant the requested authority.
Absenteeism is great evil in our ar
my. The aggregate Of officers on de-
tailed duty would be sufficient for the
commissioned quotas Of more than
thirteen regiments. OF course it does
not run pro rata, but there are regi-
ments which for years have not had
all their officers on duty with them.
one lieutenant colonel did not join his
regiment until almost four years after
being commissioned of that rank, be-
ing on detached duty in command of &
recruit depot, a post admirably fitted
for a retired officer"

Der that they sometimes like the dainty

In making the rice pudding this

the palate Of the .,ys, try this recipe:
Wash well half pound of dates and
stone them. Chop fine and add to the
usual plain rice pudding. Dates are

minutes notice. Peel ara scrape ripe
bananas. Cut each one in two pieces
and cut off the sharp end. making
them look like croquette. Roll them
in chopped nuts of any kind-either
peanuts, hickory or walnuts. Lay on
a leaf of lettuce and serve with a lit
tie French dressing containing a great
deal Of olive oil. This is a splendid
luncheon dish for the hungry school
boy.
Roast Veal and Ham-Purchase two
medium thick veal outlets, rather small
in circumference. On one of them
place a thick slice of ham and cover
with the other cutlet-just as you
would make a sandwich Place in

A New Fad.

One Of the latest fads is the making
of articles OF ooze or velvet leather.
The woman Of ideas and originality
can make many beautiful articles from
one skin. One novelty is made by
puncturing cushions and lacing them
together with handsome gold cords.
A style that is well liked is found in
applique. One can stitch satin designs
to give a border effect and cretonne
flowers, stitched and outlined with
roses, are decorative. Baby slippers
or bootees can be made of ooZe leath-
er. They are easily constructed and
patterns for these diminutive shoes
are always obtainable. The ooze
leather tie and belt is another new
idea, the former g. four-in-hand, with
the monogram burned upon the tie
end. Book backs, needle books, etc,
are easy bits of work for the beginner.

AMERICANS AS COFFEE DRINK.
ERS.

The nations coffee bill is something
enormous, and the baneful effects of
excessive coffee drinking are fearful
though still unenumerated.
In the matter of using coffee this
year of 1867 finds us to be a nation
of dissipators In 1880 this country
consumed about three pounds of coffee
per capita; in $780, S.9 pounds, and in
1902, 1882 pounds, showing that the
coffee drinking practice had develop
ed nearly four hundred per cent. in
less than seventy five years. In 1904
it took S52,272,000 pounds to satisfy
our wants, while Germany, the next
largest consumer, got along with $780,
$4,000 pounds.
This is a showing to our discredit,
when the next greatest user consumes
about sixty per cent. less per capita
than we Americans do.
1t would be interesting to know what
this incorporate use of coffee is do
ing in the way of invading the Am
erican people.
