Georgia doesn't seem to be as pro gressiva as Connecticut. A committee has been appointed by the Georgia leg islature to recommend what amend ! ments should be made to the Constitu tion. Several changes are desired, In cluding gome method to restrict the ballot, and change by amendment is preferred to the holding of a Constitu tional Convention. ' . Professor Zueblln does not admire , the architecture of Chicago. "Our - habitations are merely shells to pro tect u8 from the weather," he told a ... Chicago club, "with a false front which to of no architectural value unless we ''"look at It squarely from the curbstone. People cannot live a decent existence, to eay nothing of a civilized and cul tured one, In the architectural environ ments of such a city as ours." . More expansion. A London paper t complains that the English markets are now being flooded to a greater extent Nathan ever before with American flour. "'..' 3jLecordIng to this report, the American exporters have been sending over flour v irKsmall bags, that were convenient in - eJse, and yet were sold at the same ''rdte as were barrels. This catering : si:;. .....' : is something new in the export flour business from the United States, and it .'(1is growing at such a rate that It threat- ens -a dull market for English flours ''"Hhss jhe rest of the current year. " The Philadelphia Record tells of a r little Sunday school boy who always receives a nickel from his father to i j i 1 1 n T i a..H indie ill 11113 wiicv;i.hjii piatc. uaoL ouu- ' day Tils father gave him two nickels, ' -saying: "One is for the Lord and the otfier is for yourself." As It was too early to start for Sunday school, the mue Doy sat on tne porcn steps m tne ' ' warm sunshine, playing with the two nickels. After a while he dropped one of them and It disappeared down a crack. Without a moment's hesitation, s: end still clutching the remaining coin i . in his Clenched fist, he looked up at his father, exclaiming, "Oh, pop! There '! goes the Lord's nickel!" i XUK GREAT CHANGE IN HEW TORK Christian and Apollyon had their big fight In New Tork yesterday and Chris tian won. His victory puts Seth Low in the Mayor's chair, "fighting" Judge Jerome is to be District Attor ney, and Mayor Van Wyck is not to be a Justice of the Supreme court. Boss Croker comes down as handsomely as possible, and graciously says that Tam many bows to the will of the people. And the general opinion Is that it is high time for Tammany not only to bow but to fall. What will the reformers do with their famous victory? It will be ex tremely Interesting to see. They have made some large promises In the course of the hot campaign. Low has said he would remove Devery, and Jerome has said that he would do his best to put Devery and others In jail. Perhaps some of the campaign promises will not materialize in action now that they have had one of the results intended. Dut if ever an administration waa bound to do Its utmost for good gov ernment the Fusion administration will be. Doubtless it will try hard, and if there is dissatisfaction with it the dissatisfaction will probably not be based on suspicion of its good Intent It has a tremendous task before it. The government of a city like New Tork Is not easy, even when the intent of those who govern ie good. But It may not be too much to expect that some of the evils which have existed will be remedied, and that some of the "graft ers" will be sent into retirement If not into jail. ' ' The secretary of agriculture wants $10,000 to spend on mulberry trees and eilk worms. If he gets It, hla first ex- : periments will be made in the South. ' tie hopes to make a beginning npxt spring. His plan is to give congress--tnen the mulberry trees, ' say fifty apiece, for distribution in their dis tricts'. Booker Washington has prom ised to take hold and help. The secre tary is very hopeful. His ideas about beet eugar were laughed at,- he remem- '. bers, but the yield this year will reach 100,000 tons. American-grown tea, pre- pared in an absolutely clean way and Of good quality, Is coming Into the market. "I know silk culture can be made a success in this country," says Secretary Wilson. THE DELEGATES AD THEIR WORK Perhaps there has never been a more quiet election In Connecticut than that of yesterday, and perhaps there has never been a more important one. How important It was remains to be seen One thing Is certain. It resulted In the election of a list of delegates who will be well able to deal with the questions which are expected to come before the convention. With such men as ex-Gov ernor Waller, ex-Judge Andrews, Wil Ham C. Case, H. Wales Lines, Charles Hopkins Clark, Norris G. Osborn, E." S. Boss, James H. Webb, Donald T. War ner, C. M. Jarvis, R. J. Vance, R. J. Walsh, D. W. Northrop, and others who might be mentioned, there will be no lack of leaders, and unless the minds of the majority are stubbornly made up not to be led they will be led in the patBs of wisdom and conservatism. And if the political complexion of a Constitutional Convention is important there will be Republicans enough In this one. A Constitutional Convention is a dan gerous thing, and it Is probable that the really needed amendments to the Con stitution could have been made in the good old way. But we are going to have a Convention, and it may do some thing that will please the people. If it doesn't the people can put the seal of disapproval, or something like that, on its work. They haven't shown much interest in the proceedings so far, but perhaps they will show some when they come to vote on the proposed amendments. The Kansas editor Is a rather busy man, according to the Eureka (Kan sas) Messenger, which says: To run a newspaper, all a fellow has to do is to be able to write poems, discuss the .tariff and money questions, umpire a baseball game, report a wedding, saw wood, beat a lawyer, describe a Are so ; that the readers will shed their wraps, itmke a UoIItu' do tho work at tan, ad dress horticultural societies, measure calico,, abuse the liquor habit, test Whiskey, subscribe to charity, go with out meals, attack free ellver, defend bi metallism, sneer at snobbery, wear dia monds, Invent advertisements, overlook aoandal, praise babies, delight pumpkin raisers, minister to the- afflicted, heal the disgruntled, fight to a finish, pub lish doctor's resolutions denouncing a lawyer, net type, mold opinions, sweep 'the office, speak at prayer meetings and stanf in with everybody and everything. THE COGRK8S At; MEXICO. ' The Pan-American congress now in session in Mexico has attracted much attention In Europe, and it looks to some of the manufacturers there like a part of the "great American peril." The fear is that a customs union is to be arranged In order to give the United States control of the Central and South American markets, and then good-by to the profitable trade the Continent now has with those parts of the new world. , The Baltimore Sun doesn't think this fear Is Justified and it gives some rather impressive reasons for not so thinking. It says: We shall have many fine phrases and compliments at the City of Mexico, but obtain no ad vantage at which our Vienna friends need .to be alarmed. The assimilated coinage and tariffs, international bank and Intercontinental railway projected in 191 have petered out, Even the ar bitration treaty failed to obtain a ma jority in our senate. The Dons of Cen tral and South America have their eyes open. They are experts in the use of meaningless diplomatic language, but they do not propose to give us anything more than "taffy." They have already praised Washington as the "Saxon fa ther" worthy to be compared with Bol ivar, the great "Latin father," and we are not likely to get much farther. Self interest is the guide of their delegates as of ours. They are willing to take all the benefits of our big-brother theory, but none of the burdens. Ven ezuela in 1895 exploited us to the extent of getting us to court war with Eng land In her interest, but In the last two years has repudiated all obligation on account of that favor. There is a fear that the independence of the small re pubiics is niBUiiced by our Monroe doc trine. Since our interference in behalf of Cuba Libre, followed by the absorp tion of Porto Rico and a disposition to annex Cuba, our unselfishness is suspected. There is wisdom in the Sun's view of the congress. We are not likely to get much more than we give there. wkTjK iitEAinn prisoners. An interesting account of the way the Boer prisoners are treated In India and Ceylon is given by the Indian cor respondent of the Civilta Cattollca, a periodical published in Rome. They at present number about ten thousand and are distributed in six camps, namely, at Diyatalawa In Ceylon, Ahmednagar In Bombay, Bellary in Madras, and Trichinopoly in southern India. Each prisoner is provided with a sun-helmet, canvas shoes, slippers, light flan nel jacket, shirt, drawers, stockings, and pocket-handkerchiefs. Each has a camp bedstead and mattress with pillow and two coverlets. As regards food they receive the same allowance as is made to the soldiers who guard them, while the Boer officers are pro vided for In the same way as British officers serving in the field. The camp consists of long rows of mud cabins, thatched with straw like those of the natives, arranged in wide, clean streets, lit up at night by the electric light. In each cabin there are from ten to twelve prisoners in charge of one of the Boers, who is elected by his fellow-prisoners and 'styled Captain. Around all the cabins there Is a bar rier of barbed wire, outside 'which are the cabins of the English soldiers who keep guard. The prisoners get up at six o'clock In the morning and go to bed at 9:S0 o'clock at night. Twice a week they are taken out for exercise accompanied by British soldiers. Ex cept at appointed times no Boer is al lowed to pass the barrier which sur rounds the cabins under pain of death, but the officers are permitted under parole to go wherever they like. The military authorities have provided amusements for the prisoners, and of ten the soldiers on guard Join them in a friendly game of cricket or football. Money from friends must be handed over to an official, who will restore it when they are set at liberty. The British are doing as well as they can by their prisoners in South Africa, but the news from the pr.lson camps there Is saddening. The lari-le Cora Doughnut.

Pitts burg Dispatch. AUTHOR AND AGENT. What a London Publisher Has to Say About Their Relations. I am asked to write down for "The Author" my views on the literary agent. I am flattered by this request, and hopeful that the future may pro duce a much better understanding be tween authors and publishers, from the very fact that the opinion of a publish er should be considered worth asking by the organ of the Authors' Society. I will give my opinion with perfect frankness, relying upon the good faith of my hosts that I, as the invited guest, shall, although a publisher, be credited with honesty. I am opposed to the literary agent from the point of (1) the publisher, (2) the author, and (3) literature. First The Publisher. (a) Because the literary agent prevents that free and Intimate intercourse between pub lisher and author which Is from my ex perience of unquestioned mutual ad vantage. (b) Because I have not always found literary agents scrupulously honest In tholr dealings. (c) Because I resent the implied Im putation that the publisher might take advantage of an author unless his in terests are looked after by a person de rivng a benefit in the shape of per centages from the party with whom I am doing business. (d) Because I ,do not consider it In the Interest of my Individual business or in the interest of publishers in gen eral that one of us should be played off against the other, as Is the habit and practically the raison d'etre of the liter ary agent. ' (e) Because no author would be no quixotic as to employ, a literary agent If he did not hotte to get as much more out of the publisher as the agent's com mission represents. Second The Author. (a) Because I believe it to be in many instances of advantage to authors to be in personal communication with their publishers. (b) Because I consider it infra dignitatem autorls to assume that he ennnot take care of himself should he really come Into contact with an over reaching publisher: he can in an emer gency after all, have recourse to the Authors' society, or to his solicitor, whose charges, did he all that the agent could do, would be Infinitesimal In com parlson. (c) Because the author's agent is successful only after an author's repu tation has been established by the pub lisher, but never with a young and tin known author, so that he merely comes In for an enormous share or profit at a time when a guinea or two to a solicitor (say the Authors' society's own) would insure a better drawn agreement and a more responsible management than could be got from an irresponsible au thor's agent, who exports percentages which are out of all proportion to the services rendered. (d) Because the author's agent fos ters in authors the greed for an imme- diate money return (for this means cash percentages) at the cost of alt dig nlty and artistic repose, pledging the author's time, thought, inspiration and work for years ahead, and making of the author a slave to contracts and a victim to haste and thoughtless waste of his gifts. Third Literature. (a) Because I do not consider it to be in the interests of literature that books should be put up to auction and sold to the highest bid der among publishers, who may be in competent to give the best advantages to the book In question. (b) Because It is certainly very much against the Interests of literature that authors should be pledged and sold body and soul to syndicates and pub lishers on time bargains years ahead, with no certainty that they can stand the stain and pressure of production from the point of view of their physical or mental health. (c) Because of the fact that It dis courages the publisher from taking up new authors, if they are, as soon as he has borne the first risk and launched them, to be put up to public auction; and there can be no doubt that it be comes more difficult for a young author to get a hearing in proportion to the prevalence and success of the parasite that lives on his produce. To sum up, on behalf of the publisher, the author and literature, I am of opin ion that it Is waste of money to keep an agent with emoluments which are enormous In comparison with the ser vices rendered, when a little mutual truthfulness; a little give and take, and, anyhow, a careful solicitor at an ordin- & Counters and t x Showcases t FOR SALE. a J jjvj We are putting in J some new; showcases for the jj better display of our large "V? stock of cutlery and in con- sequence have several of 5$ g our old counters and show- cases which we must sell in 2 J t X- i. - ifvp urutr tu inane room ior wie a, new.

When some fiv years ago the queen heard of the arrival In Lon don of an old colored mammy from the free state of Liberia, who had seved up her money shilling by shilling for the purpose of going to England to see her majesty, he not only asked her to visit her at Windsor castle, but even invited CORSETS Made to Order.
