A Memory of Edwin Booth.

MY season with Edwin Booth was
delightful found him one of the
kindest and pleasantest men of the
profession. He also possessed what
consider a great quality-simplicity of
manner. Some stars have the idea
that it is necessary to be naughty and
inaccessible with the members Of their
companies. They put on airs. They
like to crush their fellow actors and
pose as a kind of divinity before them

Deer and Death Records Beaten.


The total number of deer killed and
shipped by hunters in Wisconsin since
Nov. 10, when the season open d. was
4,137, according to the count of coupons
received in the office of Game Warden
G. w. Rickeman. This, however, is
not the final total. as carcasses may be
shipped until midnight tonight, and il
probable that 200 more coupons will yet
come in. Last year the final total was
1886.
Coupons received at the game ward
ems department are only for deer ship
ped. Deer killed by settlers and resi-
dents and not shipped are not reckoned
as no coupon is required. This number
is probably equal to that of the car
cases shipped.
At least fortyseven lives have beer
sacrificed in the woods Of Wisconsin
and the upper peninsula Of Michigan
since the season for small game hunt
ing opened early in September and in
Guiding the deer hunting season which
closed Dec l.
Fourteen hunters have been killed il

eleven were slain since the opening Of

New York's Tariff Attitude.

Upon one point Mr. Roosevelt is en-
titled to be more perfectly understood.
1t is not in the least true that he blew
hot and blew cold on the tariff question.
Nobody asked him to formulate precise
Iy for the Republican party of the
State of New York tariff plank to be
accepted at Saratoga As It stood,
however, that Saratoga plank, unani-
mously adopted, showed a most amaz-
ing change in Republican sentiment.
Considering all the circumstances, the
New York State tariff plank was more
radical than that of Indiana or Iowa.
More than half of the plank was de-
voted to a deliberate demand for a re-
vision of the tariff The wonderful
thing is that New York and Ohio have
come squarely around to this new view
of tariff revision, and that there is a
basis Of practical working agreement
between the Republicans of these
States and those of Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Wisconsin and Minnesota. r.

After March 4, next, the new South
will be in practical control of the house
of representatives, and its influence in
the senate will be large. This is the
first time the new South has had a
large part in the nations councils, the
first time the South has been given a
fair trial free from the influences and
feelings Of the war And this brings
to the mind the progress Of the South.
At the time of the last Democratic
house, when the South had considera-
BILE influence in national affairs, its rep
resentatiyes, almost without exception,
were soldiers in the great war, as were,
for the greater part, the northern rep
resentatives of both parties, and the
old war feelings and influences, politi-
cal, commercial and material were
strong Now the new congress comes,
fresh and strong, tull charged with
youth of the South.

felt sure that the sea air and the rest
and quiet would cure her little sister.
The only individual who sorrowed
long and deeply over the new dispo-
sition of the family fortunes was poor
Aunt Betsy, who was defrauded of
the nephew whom she had looked
upon as all her own. She did her
best to transfer her maternal feelings
to Tommy, but she could not do it.
and Arthur remained always her lost
darling.
The fatal power that had nearly
cost Antoinette her life and reason
had altogether passed away; but she
never summoned up courage enough
to return to Mon Repos, and the
small property was transferred by a
deed of gift to the good Mayor Of
Goucy; and Antoinette was not sat
isfed till she had furnished the
Church of Goucy with a splendid set
of altar hangings of her own en-
broidery, which deeply gratifed the
Cure.
AS for old Battiste and Nanon,
they were we'll remembered, and the

labors altogether.

seemed at last only as some horrible
dream, which might or might not be

Some of the cavalry subalterns
at Aldershot are smitten in tender
place by their enforcement of the Or
der that all officers must wear mus
tache. The regulation on the sub
iect is explicit and dates from the
time of Queen Victoria. 1t reads as
follows:
The hair of the head will be
kept short. The chin and under lip
will be shaved, but not the upper lip.
Whiskers, if worn, will be of mod
crate length
The fad for shaving the upper lip
is a specially of cavalry subalteEns
who wish to distinguish themselves
from their comrades of other
branches of the service. Field Mar
shall Lord Grenfell had to issue an
order calling attention to the regula-
tion when he was in command in Ire
land
The regulation aims entirely at
maintaining a smart appearance and
dates from shortly after the Crlmean
War, when Queen Victoria objected
to her soldiers wearing boards. In
the navy the rule is that an officer
must be either clean-shaVen or wear
"a full set" Recently in Aldershot
an order was issued that the men Of
the York and Lancaster Regiment
should not wax their mustaches.-
