THE MAJOR'S VISIT. mOW '.A 'GENTLEMANLY- CAPITAU3T STIRRED A PENNSYLVANIA TOWN, j WM robtro.lT.b Had ui Air ' Iboat Him That Won Bseta At-Utlon-Wh. H. Went Away. Thera WM puaa polntmeaU Tte one spring evening In the middle -tenties stranger alighted from a pas !Ler train that had Just drawn op to the 'Station of a Pennsylvania mountain town. n was at once beset by half a down negro J.J runners, ths most enterprising of ihom took possession of hi. band satchel be had time to awent of dlwent. Ense ho was pleased w th tha negro's !Tsh or because bo fanoled the name of Se hotel tbla porter , wpre8ented the Smnwr Rave the, man the check for bis SSfind put himself under hi. guidance. At tbe hotel the stranger registered his nie In a plain, businesslike hand as .555 John H." of Philadelphia, lie made his toilet, ate bis supper, and, light ing a cigar, went out, as he remarked, for troll about the town. Upon his return In hour or so later he entered Into conver sation with the landlord. Major II. ap ' wared to take an Interest In tbe banks of the town, of which be said he had noticed there were a larger number. He Inquired Ig to their condition, and seemed pleased to hear that they were all regarded as strong Institutions, all under safe, con servative management. Ills Interest, ho hinted, was owing to the probability that he would In the near future have occasion to deposit In one of them a largo sum of Ileconiing more communicative, the major said ho had heard that the morning paper of the town a paper of repute and influence was for sale, In settlement of an estate, and that be was strongly dispos ed to buy It. The next morning all tbe town knew or the presence of the rich gentleman from Philadelphia, who was going to buy the . , and be was tbe object of much respectful curiosity when he appeared on ' the streets. In him the curious saw a man above the inodium stature and beyond jnlddlo age, who drossod plainly, but with great neatness, and who, In the face, bore a resemblance to General Grant, a rcsem Mince which was not lessened by the fact that the major always bad a cigar In his mouth. s The first place the major visited the morning after his arrival was the offioe of t.h niiwsDancr that was for sale. He was rocelved there with much consideration, and 6pent some hours inspecting the plant and carefully going over the books. He expressed satisfaction with what he had seen and learned, and Intimated his will ingness to pay a certain sum In cash for tho property a sum rather, larger than the management hoped to receive, though not. of courso, a largo as that asked, From tho newspaper office tho major was escorted to a neighboring banc, whore his reception by the president was most cordial and nattering. Hoeing in tho new comer a prospective customer and a man destined to bo of much Influenco In tho community, this wide awako bank officer not only took great pleasure In making him acquainted with tho really excellent condition of tho bank, but lnsistod on driving him out that afternoon to 6eo tho natural beauties of tho region, which seemed to charm the major. That night nothing would do but that tho major should dino with him. Tho next day other prominent men of tho town, who did not proposo to permit the bank president to monopolize the major, sought him out, with tho result that before noon ho was engaged to drivo out behind fast horses every afternoon, and to dine as tho guest of honor every evening for a week. Tho major drove out, and tho major dined. His quiet and un ostentatious manner and bis intelligent, conservutivo conversation . won for him golden opinions, and in a short time tbe town was mad over tho major. Mean- whiio he would drop into tho newspaper ollico every morning, where he was already looked upon as tho now proprietor, and spread happiness about him by pleasant Words of commendation. ' Finally one morning the major an nounced that be had definitely decided to buy tho pajrer and ordered a lawyer to draw up tho legal documents and havo them ready on a specified day tho follow ing week. Ho said that ho would havo to lenvo tho town for a few davs to arrance the transfer of the money needed for the purchaso and that ho would return the day before that fixed for tho transfer. Tho major then dropped in to see his friend tho bank nrrKirient. and cliuldened his heart by announcing an Intention of opening a personal account with tho bank. Ho handed over bis check for $15,000, drawn on a prominent Phlladolnhia bank. and after chatting n few minutes nroso as if to go, remarking thnt ho had a business call to Pittsburg, for which city bo would start in the morning. Tho bank president solicitously inquired whether ho bad sufll fient funds with him for the journey, and the major said he thought ho had, but he ould seo. After an Inspection of his pallet tho major said thnt perhaps It would bo prudent to replenish it, and that bo huu take f 500 if his friend didn't mind, bo ho gave his chock, received tho money With a careless mAti.ni nf shook hands with the bank president and "rolled off to bis hotel.

Tbe heads are compar atively solid, the Inner leaves being thick, light yellow In color lAl very tender and juicy.

Lettuce should never bo dressed until just before eating It, as It sooq wilts and takes on a in ussy appear anco. The best plain lettuce salad has a French dressing, which Is a combination of oil, very little vinegar and a generous amount of salt, and, if one likes, tbe very faintest suspicion of peppermint. An old Spanish proverb' says, "To make a perfect salad there should be a spendthrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a wise man for Ealt and a madcap to 6tlr the ingredients and mix them well together." salad that Is particularly appetizing and palatable is a sort of vegetable hodge podge. Line the bowl with plenty of crtop water cress which bas been treated In a drain and freeze in the refrigerator. Then fill with one oup of peas, one of beans, one of chopped carrots and one of chopped red beets, all of which have been previously boiled and cooled.

Two Names That Stand Forcmott In a Long Record of Shame. The history of Spain had long boon a record of shame. The dosplcable character of their rulers had almost quenched the Innate nobility of the Spanish people, while tbe aristocracy had sunk Into a proud lethargy. In the story of national degradation at its worst two names must stand together as partnors in political crime thoso of Godoy and Escolqulz, who sought to mask their own baso ambitions behind tho acts of their feeble creatures, .tho king and Ferdinand. Throughout the whole vilo com plot moves also a female flffuro that of the queen whose counter part must bo sought In the annals of witches, furies and hota?ru3. But there were still left unoontnminated 11,000,000 of the Spanish pooplo. They wero indolent by nature, had been fettered both by tra dition and by wornout Institutions and had long groaned in the bondago of cor rupt administration. With the removal of tho Bourbons all these servile parapher nalia were swept awoy. Tho brothers Napoleon belloved, and no doubt honestly, that pure and capable ad ministration under a modern system would soon produce order, industry, pros perity and peace, and that a graterul na tlon would beforo long acclaim its prcsorv ers and enroll itself as a devoted ally against the perfidious and tyrannical gov eminent of England. It is useless to spec ulato how far this dream would havo been realized but for the utter rottenness of the Instruments with which tbe reformers worked. The king's senility, the queen's lust. Godov's creed. Kscoiqulz's self seek lng, Ferdinand's unreliability, Murat's ambition, made a poor armory of qualities wherewith to accomplish a benellcent rev olution. But tho one vital blunder was, nft.r All. not in the uso of such tools. It was in the contempt for nationality shown first in making tho treaty of iontalno bleau, then in Its violation by tho subse quent seizure of Portugal, and finally by the occuiatlon or Spain ry a reucn iroops. Declaring that more bad been lost than gained by tho events which occurred at Boyonno, Talleyrand says that on one oc rnsion he icilv observed to Napoleon that society would pardon much to a man of id. hiit choatiiiff at cards never. If tbla bo truo. it was a stinging rebuke and ono which touched tho heart of tjjo whole matter. "Life of Napoleon," by Professor W. M. Sloane, In Century. England's Former Enemies.

Misa Esther Lyons, the young woman who bas lately sprung into prominence because she was tbe 'first ,woman to cross the Chilkoot pass, la a retiring, refined, quiet woman of medium height MISS ESTHKR LYONS. and slight of build. No one would give her credit for having climbed the Chil koot as early as tbe spring of 1894 and-of braving the perils and errors of the in terior of Alaska when strong men shrank from the trip. She was born of German and English parentage in New York city and climbed the Alps before the age of 14. Miss Lyons was educated in Fhiladel phia, being a graduate of the Girls' Nor inal school. She was a great chum of her father, and together they visited many climes, shrines and ruins. His ideas, thoughts and descriptions no doubt had muc,h influence over her later life. She says that when in early wo manhood she stood on the summit of Chilkoot pass and alone enjoyed its grandeur and sublimity she sorrowed that he who had stood on the pinnacle of so many mountains with ner was not there to voice his admiration and enjoy that wonderful sight. Miss Lyons, although boasting, some of the bluest blood of England in her veins, is thoroughly American in her tastes, desires and habits, and in her lectures lays great stress on the fact that Alaska, the American land of the mid night sun, is well worthy the attention of the tourist. Miss Lyons declared that she has never known a sick day in her life. Her perfect health she attributes mainly to her outdoor exercises. Sho is fond of both the whoel and horseback riding and is an untiring walker. She is a pleasant, magnetic and in teresting talker and, being a great traveler and of an observing nature, of courso has quito a fund of interesting information at her command. She is very much interested in the Cuban ques tion, also that of tho Russian refugees, and becomes much enthused on either of these subjocts. She has just finished a etory of Mary Tudor, known as Bloody Mary of Lug land. When asked why of all known women she cboso her as the heroino of her novel. Miss Lvons said: "Poor Mary! So little a queen, bo much weak woman, I dug her out of forgotten history, I have wiped away the blood, brushed the cobwebs from her mind, enveloped her with an all absorbing love, and consequently some heroism, and have surprised even myself with the woman that I have portrayed." She is now at work upon an Eskimo ro inance. Sho calls it "The Eskimo Slave Girl." Miss Lyons has quito a collection of pets. She is very fond of dogs, her libra ry is full of cboico' books, and 6he ha9 an interesting cabinet of curios, wnen asked whether she preferred public or domestic life, she answered quickly, MISS LYONS EQUIPPED FOR MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.

Bradley. THE NEW WOMAN. Some Bug-gettloii ' That Hay Bo TJMful Hero and Thcro. I have admired southern girls very much ever since I saw so many of them when our International league of press clubs visited Atlanta and tbe south in 1894. Because I like them so well I am going to say a word to them here. They are among tbe most talented young newspaper women we have when they come north. Everybody else likes them as well as I do. No matter what busi ness they go into they ate apt to suc ceed. But, ray dear southern girls and women, when you write for publication don't begin by saying your family for tunes were ruined by the war and that you never would have thought of earn ing money only for that. We have beard that statement so awfully many times. Don't inform us either that "southern gentlemen" are bitterly opposed to the ladies of their families working for mon ey. We have all known for a hundred years that some southern gentlemen," like some other gentlemen everywhere, are almost as much opposed to having their women folk work for a living as they ore opposed to working themselves. Don't mention that your family is one of the oldest and most important social ly in the south. We all know that too. We have heard it several thousand times. Every southerner's family is. You need not say in your writings that you are "thoroughly feminine.". We take that for granted. Don't be particular to men tion or to have somebody else mention for you that you do not belong to a wo man's club, that you are opposed to woman suffrage and that you have a horror of the new woman. Why, heaven have mercy on your ignorant, ungrateful soul 1 It is exactly the pioneer labors of woman suffrage women, the clubwomen and the new woman that have made it potsible for you this duy to come com fortably out of your chimney corner and earn your living at some of the occupa tions only lately opened, to our sex. Finally, do not bring into tho fore ground your own or your family's per tonality. The unfeeling public does not care a rap about them. Just take up your work quietly, bravely, grittily and joyfully, as though you are proud of it, as you are, and go on to conquer, and the Lord bless youl The Woman's Journal tells" tho story of how one of its subscribers, a brave Colorado woman who did her own thinking, had a husbaud that just hated womaq suffrage She softly and silently laid The Journal on his library table after she had finished reading it every week for a vear. and every week he burned it without opening it. Tbo sec oud year she did the same, but during this twelvemonth she caught him read iug it occasionally when nobody was looking. Tho third year he road it open ly, and tho fourth ho was an outspoken and able advocate of full suffrage for women. Tbe arguments of the paper had soaked into him psychically apparently. There is a place in tbe world for you to fill. Find it for yourself. Do not al low yourself to bo pushed or scolded or coaxed into any place chosen for you by somebody else if you do not like it. Do your own thinking. Three respectable and plucky young women are making a good living cau; vassiug in cities for a boot and shoe pol ish. The way they manage is this: They go from offlco to office, carrying bottles of the polish. They cpen one of these, stoop down and with their own hands black the gentleman's shoes. The polish is an excellent ono, and nearly every man buys a bottlo of it. Wo are wearied to death of hearing bigots dogmatize and say this, or that occupation is not fitted for women or that women are not suited to a given task just because they are women. The individual man or woman is exactly suited to anything he or she wants to do and can . do, no matter what it is. Thus an individual man may be an ex cellent milliner, while an individual woman may find her exact sphere in conducting a cattle ranch. Some meu are this day earning their living trim ming bonnets. Several women are suc cessfully herding cattle in the west. For heaven's sake let the individual chooso his or her own work. It is the individual who is to be considered ia every case, not tbe sex or the race. Just keep your mouth shut and don't dog matize. Display of strong emotion on small occasions is n sign of weakness and childishness. Women will be degraded by being al lowed to go to the polls and yote. Oh, yes I But it is no degradation to have men approach them and try to bribe them to uso their influence to indnee their busbauds to vote for a United States senator when his ballot Is badly wanted by one . of tbe superior sex, as is openly claimed to have been done in the case of Mrs. Griffith of Ohio,, That is all right and high minded and honor able and exalts woman to -that, high pedestal which sbe should ever.qccapy in tbe masculine mind.

The llropress Anna of Russia In the last year of her relgu carried out one of the most "mighty and magnificent caprices that ever ' entered into the head of even a supreme monarch. In 1739 one of her nobles, 1'rlnce uallt- zln, offended her, and she varied the usual programme did not send him to Siberia, but Instead made him court page and buf foon, -lie was a widower.. .The empress commanded him to marry again. The prince carried out her instructions in the spirit of his new profession and selected a girl of low degree Her majesty took on herself all the wed ding arrangements. The winter of 1739 40 was extraordinarily severe. She ordered a bouse built entirely of ice. It consisted of two rooms, and all the furniture, even to the bedstead, was of ice also. In front of the bouso were placed four small can nons and two mortars, and these were of ice. They were fired, too, several tlmos without bursting. When the wedding day came, there was a procession of 800 persons, mostly peas ants, from every part of Russia. Tbe em press had commanded them to be sent to her by provincial governors. Koch person wore the costume of bis or her province, and 6ome were drawn In sledges by rein deer, some by dogs, some by goats, some by cxen. Tbe bride and groom rode in the raidBt In a great Iron cage placed on tbe back of an elephant. After marching throngh the principal streets of St. Petersburg- they went to a building we bear bf as the Duke of Coulrand's rldipg houso, and there sup per was served In many different fashions, for each guest supped as he would have done at home, and the custom In different parts of Russia then differed greatly more even than they do now, , A ball fol lowed, and tbe dancing waa as varied as the cookery. After the ball the unfortunate bridal pair were escorted to the icehouse, where they bad to spend tbe night, for guards were placed before the door to boo that they didn't get out Chicago Record. Prond of nil Record "I suppose thoro is a groat deal of un recognized genius In tbe world," remarked the literary young woman. "Yes, Indeed," replied her father as he looked up from the trade paper. "Lots and lots of it. People are a great deal more sensible these days than they used to bo." "You mean they are more sensible be cause they have so much unrecognized genius?" sho queried in surprise. "That's it precisely." Taking off his glasses and balancing tbem on his fore flnuer ho went on: "I remember when I was a boy I had a great talent for music. I could remember almost, any tune I ever beard and play it on a mouth hurp. And draw pictures? Iany is the picture I have drawn. So hard is it to curb genius that lots of times I would find mysolf drawing pictures on my 6late Instead of doing my arithmetic. "How unfortunate thnt you couldn't have cultivated your talents." "Not a bit of it: not a bit of it. I was peculiarly fortunate. Tho trouble with too many geniuses ia that they don't havo common sense. Now, I was different. profited by my opportunities. You can't get a common school education without finding out what is likely to happen to a man as soon as tho world picks him out as a genius. Go right along through the list of them. They are always selling pictures or poems or musical compositions for less than tho market valuo. Pooplo somehow expect It of thorn. And It's mighty seldom that ono gets rich. As soon as I discovered thut I had any symptoms of genius, fought them down. I battlod with myself and went Into tho livery stablo business. By being cautious and attending to busi ness I arrived at a position of comparative Independence, so that I cua look content edly around me and feel that it wouldn't do any great harm now, even u I wero rec ognized."
