The legislature now has under consideration the proposed com promise of the rate law. Several independent bills have been in troduced but the measure which substantially represents what will be adopted finally i? said to be the Graham Bill. This makes a flat rate of 2h cents per mile and provides for two thous and mile tickets at twenty dollars or two cents per mile, all rail roads which have in this State in the aggregate not more than one hundred miles of railroad will be allowed to charge three cents per mile this concession being made for the purpose of helping the short lines of the state that have a severe struggle for ex istence. • It is eminently proper that these small lines should have a more favorable rate because it is well known that they are barely able to pay runing expenses. Left to The People. The action taken by the Demo cratic legislative caucus in the prohibition question is wise and in accordance with Democratic principles. The issue will be passed upon at an Election to be held next April 28th. Already most of this State is prohibition territory. There are sixty-eight prohibition counties in the State as against twenty nine in which whiskey is sold either in saloons or dispensaries. It is almost certain that the State will go for prohibition but in any event it can be said that we shall have it by popular as well as by legislative vote. The people will decide the matter for themselves and in* this particular the legislature has only followed the old doctrnes and principles of our Democratic fathers. It will be interesting to hear the com ments of those opponents who have been preparing to cry that the Democratic showed no con cern for popular rights. It won't be a case of "I told you so" this time. Election In April. The House of Representatives at midnight passed the Sen ate Prohition bill after amending it so as to require th« election to be held on April 28th, the last Thursday in April, instead of in August, as was provided in the original draft of the bill. Other minor amendments were also made, none of which affect the meaning of the law materially. This act is published on first page in this issue. Harry Thaw i 3 said to be very fond of bridge. The jury should not let this weigh too heavily, however. There are plenty of people in this world "just crazy about bridge, you know," who wouldn't kill anybody for any thing! Poor little barroom Don't you cry, You will be a drug store Bye and bye. Eat and drink what you need, but be a general manager of a swill barrel. The best way to manage a woman is not to try it." says the Atlanta Georgian. As a matter of fact, it the only way? Society News. Mrs. C. H. Geitner entertained the Round Dozen Book Club on Wednesday evening, Jan 7 22. Eleven members were present. After roll call and quotations, the usual interesting discussion of the books followed. The host ess' especial book was "Alice for Short," by William De Morgan, and she gave a very entertaining sketch of the author as well as interesting and intelligent criti cicms of the book itself. If this book continues its" travels from Mrs. A-to Mrs. X—, the unfail ing comment is." It should have been Alice for Long," and, it is one book that you can not skip pages." Whatever the opinions, of other books in the club, ' 'Alice for Short!' is univerally liked. After the discussions the mem bers were invited into the dining room and seated at the elegantly appointed table, where a deli cious luncheon was served. Pressed chicken, oysters, beaten biscuit, pickles, olives, stuffed dates, ' 'Boston Rocks," cakes, a variety of delicious homemade candies and coffee were thorough ly enjoyed. In the centre of the table was a large dish of bloom ing white hyacinths, the dish daintily wrapped with white, and tied with a large bow of violet ribbon. A profusion of large, Palma violets were scattered over the centre piece, while the large western window was beautiful with its decoration of ferns and other potted plants. The guests lingered long over the dainty luncheon with tneir charming hostess. The Travellers Club.

Mrs: A. B. Hutton played the piano arrangements of the music is the truest ef all comments and the best exponent of the char aeier of people whose embiem is a musical instrument as the Harp is of Ireland. Annals as far back as 633 B. C. show toat the harp was then used in Srin. In the middle ages at tie times of the crusdes Irish music was superior to that of all oth r nations. Mrs. Patrick presented tie next topic: "Mrs. Alexander and The Bnrial of Moses," with an ability which interested her hearers in this remarkable wo man upon whom Tennyson ant.! Gonnod have bestowed the highest praise. Mrs. J. H. Shuford sang sweetly and with appreciation Mrs. Alexander's poem: "There is a green hill far away."
