Read the opinion of Mr. Carr in the article entitled "A Con verted Free Trader" published in this issue. Mr. Carr came here from Europe filled with free trade doctrine and wont back ?with new ideas. It will be remembered that our Democratic friends on the stump last fall declared that the talk about State Banks was all a myth gotten up by ihe Republican orators to scare the people. But now that Congressman William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, comes out with a. favorable en dorsement of these wild cat in stitutions the people must con clude that there was something more than fancy in the report. Mr. Wilson recently, expressed himself as follows on the subject: "I do not believe it would be a dangerous experiment to again start the State Banks. They would not be like the wild cat institutions,before the war. Their notes would not be legal tender, and no one would be compelled to' accept them unless they so de sired. The volume of the circula ting medium throughout the country would, however, be largely increased." Mr. Wilson admits that there would be two kinds of money in circulation ? good money and cheap money. And that no one -would be compelled to take the cheap kind. What a financial mess we would have with to kinds of currency! Is this Democracy's dream of Utopia? Thirty years ago next Tuesday West Virginia became a part and parcel of the Federal Union and left the old Mother State in the the Confederate States of Ameri ?there were as scarce m thiaq _ OTpffihen teeth. But the north ern connties and thePan-Handle did the work and time- has dem onstrated the wisdom of the of the act. The tail wagged the dog;1tt that case and ever since that time West Virginia has come rapidly to the front and is destined to outstrip the Old Do minion, it energy and push count for anything-. Her strips have been rapid and her development steady. And to West Virginia all will wish many happy returns of the day.?Wheeling Newt. ===== THREE FAMOUS^ AUTOGRAPHS. Qn?n Victoria, Qn?n Isabella Mid Mrs. Grover Clmlud. The autograph banter is rampant at the world'* fair. Thero ?re the autographs of all the queen* of England In one grand cotleo tlon, and the autographs of all the queens of all the other countries in an other. Queen Victoria's handwriting la of the sedate, quiet type?not at all such as you would expect a ruler to write. Miss Campbell, whose business it U to point out the pictures of the queens of England in the assembly hall of the Woman's building, sayj that when Queen Victoria learned to write, she had no idea that she would ever attain' the throne of England. She was taught merely the "young lady's hand" of the period. In those days angular hand- ' ok ??. CLEVELAND'S AUTOGRAPH AT TUB * ? aoe or kiout. writing was unknown, and Miss Vic toria's fist was very round and as as she could mako it with the quill given her to wield. x>uwgii?pu uuuwrn ore noi permit ted to steal the famous specimens in this exhibit. They ma;, however, mako a foe simile of them. You see collectors all around the room stretch ' In; their pieces of tissue paper over the glass which covers the originals and copying them with delicate strokes. Mrs. Cleveland's autograph Is here sought In fac simile as much as though she were a queen and wore a crown with a Kohlnoor for a setting. Her au tographs have been preserved from the time she was eight years old and began to go to school. In those days she wrote her name "Frankio A. Kolsom." Herwriting at the age of fourteen was very patchy and had the uncertain look of one struggling to acquire a fine fash ionable hand and had not yet quite mastered the first principles. After her marriage Mrs. Cleveland wrote her name "Prances Folsom Cleve land." llut lately she has dropped her middle name and writes it simply "Frances Cleveland." She dropped the middle patronymic because it proved a serious drain upon her time to write , so lengthy a name many times a day. Ber writing now is of tho big, fashion- * able typo. In the Woman's building'' you can always see a crowd of girls around Mrs. Cleveland's autograph, copying it and no doubt studying how they can alter their own chirogTaphy to match. Queen Isabella's autograph attracts much attention. It Is a queer signa ture. It looks as If Isabella might have quekx Isabella's autookapo. been crazy with joy at the discovery of the new world and unable to control her hand when she wrote. Students in graphology wax very en thusiastic over these handwritings. iney say that, though the combina tions are dissimilar, the strokes are identical, and that all three of these famous women show strength, sinceri ty and ambition in their handwritings. FULL-DRESS SHIELD. An Appropriate and Ciefnl Present for a Gentleman. The front of this tasty article Is made of quilted satin, of any color preferred, though black is considered in best tasto. The lining is cither white or crcam colored surah or China silk, and there is an inter lining of cotton wadding. The collar should have an inter lining of canvas, but can be omit .ted altogether, as it is apt to ruLX-DtiKss shield, crush the tie. The edges are neatly hemmed, or bound with narrow ribbon the color of the front, and the shield is held in place by straps of ribbon, one of which has a small buckle on the end. The shield should be nine inches wide and twelve inches long, and re quires twenty-four inches of satin half a yard wide, and the same amount of lining silk.?Farm and Fireside. Apple Kaace. Apple sauce is frequently served with roast pork and with roast duck. It is, however, good with bread and butter for luncheon, or with cream and sugar for desert. One way to make It requires the use of a little butter. Take six large sour apples, peel and core them. Stew them In a pint of water with four tablespoonfuls of sugar and a heap ing teaspoon of butter. Stew tham until they aro soft enough for sauce. A llttlo cinnamon adds a pleasant flavor, and those who are fond of nut meg often use it in the sauce. Delicious Lemonade. If you want a really excellent lemon ade, do not depend upon guessing. To every quart of water use three lemons and the rind of one, taking care to peel the rind very thin, using nothing but the yellow outside. Cut this in pieces and put with juice and powdered 6Ugar in a jug or jar with a cover, using*two ounces of sugar to every quart. Ileat the water as for Ufa, then pour it over the lemon and sugar. Cover at once; then let it get cold, add ice and serve. Oh.

"My wife and I," says a traveling man, "were once in a hotel where we oouldn't get any boiling water. After we had discussod the situation my wife asked me If I had an envelope In my satchel. I got one out, when she told me to fill It with water and hold It over the gas jet I hesitated, but finally did it, and expected to see the envelope blaze up every moment. But It didnt blaze. The envolope took on a little soot, but that was all. The water boiled In time, and tho envel ope was as good as ever when the ex periment was at an end.
