knows all about the ' battle of

. favorable to the proposi tion to

I read revolutionary history when

italit tlarboard of England, who
fias been- visiting Pittsburg with bis
wealthy aunt, Miss Hermlone Bcben-
ley, and who started be fad there of
wearing pluk shirts at society func
tions, was asked recently by .reporter
of the New York World If It was cus
tomary to wear pink shirts at weddings
In London.. He said: '
1 cant say that Is the fashion in
London. Too see, I have massed my
shirts up., so while In Pittsburg I
couldn't get them laundered fast
enough. .-I don't see how your men
keep a shirt clean half a day. ; I bad
jto wearhe pink shirt at the wadding
because -1 dldnt have a clean shirt
among my effects. I d'da't want to
attend the wedding without any shirt
at alL l'don"t know that It was any
too clean at that, for Just aa I waa leav
ing the arrlage a great cloud of dust
or smoko settled on the bosom of the
shirt, and as I tried to wipe it off It
smeared lite butter all over the front
I say, you've got a beastly thick at-
mospber la Pittsburg..- We bare a fog
In London, but It does not settle oa
you In chunks.
So the chappies In Pittsburg hare
started wearing pink shirts. Well, a
fellow told me the other night he was
going to take mo to a pink tea. Say,
won't the colors match thought
- - a tea atattraaaea. ; .."
In rsrls it Is "the fad. It seems, to
seek repose on scented msttresses. says
the New York Press. Bsgs of different
colored silks are made aad filled with
- violet, heliotrope or lavender and aewed
oa tba sides of the mattress. These
bags, whlcb Impart to the bed a deli
clons fragrance, are tied with satm rib
bons. ome of the scented mattresses
are most elaborate affairsand, though
the dealers .urge that they are sold for

Loogworth Has Leased Home lor

X ton. , ','.. si'j '
St. LonJi Republic.
The home over which the belle
of the White House, will preside
after she becomes Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth is located in the
"downtown" section of fashion
able Washington, less than half
a dozen squares from the pres
idential mansion'. It is a three
storv and basement building of
red brick, and at first glance it
impresses one as of enormous
proportions. A closer study of
its dimensions will, however,
dispel this illusion.'. ,
The - house was built . some
years ago by Mrs. John Davis
Jones, a wealthy' widow,, origi
nally irom Cincinnati, . out now
residing abroad, and was planned
especiallyor lavish entertaining.
With this purpose in view; there
was something of a sacrifice of
exterior architectural beauty for
interior spaciousness and con
venience. The mansion is most
advantageously located, being
situated directly across the street
from the bouse that was for
years the home of that famous
beauty, Harriet Lane Johnston,
and which has recently been
purchased by Financier T. F.
Hyan, who has come into special
prominence through his connec
tion with the- Equitaable Insur
ance Company.
The house which Representa
tive Longworth has leased for
bis bride, and where be and his
mother now reside busy with
preparations for the comfort of
the future mistress is located at
the corner of Eighteenth and I
streets, in Washington, and the
main entrance is in the middle
of what would naturally be
termed the side of the bouse.
The mansion is arranged in ac
cordance with the English base
ment plan. Entering through a
very artistic vestioule and door
way with white wood-work, the
visitor finds hitrsjlf in a spacious
hall, from which a broad stair
way ascends to the mam, or
parlor, floor of the mansion.
The main hallway is finished
in oak and the floor is covered
with bearskins and other rugs,
while the principal wall orna
ment is found in an effectually
arranged collection of weapons
representative of many lands and
periods. On the left of the hall
13 a great oblong apartment,
which constitutes Representa
tive Longworth's library and
study. In the center of the
room is a huge flat-top mahog
any desk, which is usually piled
high with books and papers, for
the Congressman from the Cin
cinnati disrict is a very busy
man. A conspicuous decorat
ive feature of the apartment is a
large representation in colors of
the Great Seal of the United
States. v
The main floor of the house is
practically given over to three
rooms, a drawing-room, dining-
room and a dainty boudoir for
the use of the, mistress of the
household. The drawing-room
is unusually large and almost
square. - In the decorations and
furnishings of the rooms, the
rugs, upnoistery, hangings, etc.,
red is a predominant color and
contrasts well with the white
woodwork. There is a wide
open fireplace and a grand piano
the latter an adjunct which
will be appreciated by the future
mistress of the hbuse, who is
something of a musician.
The dining-room is a decided
ly cosy apartment, and yet it is
of ample size to permit the
future Mrs. Nicholas Longworth
to entertain a good-size dinner
party. .-The furniture is the
massive and heavily-carved
black walnut, . which-is so effect
ive in a dining-room, and the
hangings and other furnishings
have green and tan as the pre
dominating tints. An immense
tapestry, in which these colors
are conspicious, occupies a con
siderable . portion J of one . wall.
The silver plate with which Mr.
Longworth has stocked his dining-room
is worthy the taste and
the pocketbook of a millionaire.
Between the drawing and din
ing rooms is a dainty little bou
doir that is flooded with light,
even on the dullest day, from
three immense windows that oc
cupy one entire side of this fem
inine "den." ; This nook, where
the President's daughter will re
ceive ner women mends, is a
pink room," and is filled with
the fragile . French furniture
which is the delight of the fair
sex, and the gold tones of which
are in perfect harmony with, the
delicate fink , of the walls and
hangings. A lady's writing ta
ble is a conspicious object in the
apartment. .7 : -
Coilon Mills In the South Snr
ronnded by Cotton Fields, Grain
Fields, . L Orchards, Dairies,
. Poultry Tarda and Garden
? Farms.
St. Louis Reoublic.
The Southern Field for De
cember contains a photographic
illustration showing a model cot
ton mill village, with a field of
opening cotton in the fore
ground, i ne scene, it says, is
duplicated in scores of places in
the South. ;
' But the picture does not tell
the whole story of the . village.
To be complete it should show
the fields of grain from which
the village workers are supplied
with ' bread, the pastnres and
feed lots from which they, get
their beef, mutton and pork, the
gardens and orchards in which
their fruits and vegetables are
gathered, . the poultry yards
which . supply eggs and fowls,
the dairies for their milk and
butter.
Of course these things could
not be gotten into one picture,
but they must be near by, or the
village workers could not go on
converting raw cotton into yarns
and cloths.
That tbey are there the South
ern Field tells us in its state
ment that in the cotton manu
facturing States of the South
east the farmers often find it
more profitable to simply the
mill workers with food than to
supply the mills with cotton. In
these States genera) agriculture.
gardening and fruit growing are
increasing at a more rapid rate
than ever before.
Their percentage of cereal
production is growing faster
than that of the country at large;
their live stock interest is in
creasing relatively faster than
that of any other section, and
this growth is becoming more
marked with the gradual disap
pearance of the Western live
stock ranges. All this great and
diversified agricultural prog
ress, says the Field and crop
statistics prove it is attained
without in any way diminishing
the production of cotton
Iu this way the cotton mills
of the South, which now con
sume more raw cotton than those
of the North, provide most val
uable home markets for the
neighboring farms, not ouly for
the -cotton, but for the many
side products which reward the
farming industry with its best
profits.
The prestige of cotton has
heretofore obscured the other
great resources of the South
but it is manifest that that sec
tion is already well advanced
toward the ideal condition indi
cated by Lord Bacon in his say
ing that "Three things make a
nation great and powerful a
fertile sou, busy workshops and
easy conveyance ot men and
commodities from place to
place." The fertile soil is drawn
upon for all varieties of things
that it will yield, and the means
of conveyance, already ample,
are all the time increased by the
building of new roads.
Already the cotton mills of
North Carolina consume 78 per
cent ot tne raw cotton growu in
the State, those of South Caro
Una 51 per cent and those of
Georgia 24 per cent. Though
Massachusetts ranks first in cot
ton mills and South Carolina
second, the mills of the two Car-
olinas work up 171,000 bales of
cotton more than those of Mas
saehusetts. And within the last
five years Southern mills have
increased their consumption of
cotton by 656,440 bales, while
the consumption ot Northern
mills has fallen off 16,955 bales
Most of the Southern cotton
mills are in the three States of
Georgia, North and South Caro
lina.. The results they are bring'
ing about there will be a stimU'
Ins to the Southwest which must
in a few years make these mills
as numerous in Arkansas,-Texas,
Louisiana' and the Twin Ter
ritories as they are in the South
east. ,

It's mighty sorry parents that

fool parents in this world, the
ones who "take up" for their
disobedient children when tbey

the head of the list. Tbey are
the most faithful feeders of the

RISES TO SLOW MUSIC.
Andrew Carnefie Haa Orfgnlst
neip Him to Awake.
New York T tinea.
On mornings when Andrew
Carnegie has been in this city in
the past year he has had Walter
C. Gale, organist of the Broad,
way Tabernacle, come to his
Fifth avenue home at ninety-sec
ond street at 7 o'clock in the
morning and play on the ereat
organ that is built in the lower
hallway of the steel master's
masion. Mr. Carneeie is usually
... .
wageneo by tne music.
It is understood that Mr. Gale
is very well paid for eettine ud
early enough in the morning to
wake Andrew Carnegie.
The organ Mr. Carneene has
had built in bis New York house
is described as one of the best
and biggest to be found in a pri
vate home. It is a huge affair
with four keyboards, built near
the staircase in the lower hallway.
Mrs. Carnegie and Mr. Gale
arranged a musical surprise for
Mr. Carnegie last Sunday after
noon. At 4 o'clock the thi.ty
members of the Broadway Tab
ernacle choir assembled in the
Carnegie home. Standing about
the lower stairway, they sane
a lot of old German and Eng
lish and Scottish Christmas
carols.
Mr. Carnegie was takine his
afternoon nap. The singing
brought him to the head of the
stairs, his face fairly beaming.
Miss Reba Cornett, a soprano.
sang as a solo "Come Unto Me,"
from "The Messiah." Mr.
Moore, a baritone, sane "Can-
tique Noel." One of Mr. Car
negie's great favorites is "Silent
Night, Holy Night." The whole
choir sang that. Another is a
part of "Adeste Fidelis," which
was also sung by the choir. He
enjoyed a Bohemian carol. Oth
er pieces sung by the choir were
"Infant So Gentle." "Sleep Ho
ly Babe," Lo, How a Rose Ere
Blooming," and "It Came Upon
the Midnight Clear." -
GREAT TRIP FOR AERONAUT.
Kaabenahue Balldias Alrahlp to Ply
Aeroaa the Allesbeatea.
Confident of success, Boy Knaben-
shue, the Toledo youth who first steer
ed a dirigible balloon over New York
city, la building an airship tit Pittsburg
for a flight from that city across the
mountains to Philadelphia, says a
Pittsburg special dispatch to the New
lork Press. Knabenshue expects to
make, his experiment early In next May
and hopes to beat the best time of the
fastest expresses between the two cit
ies. The airship, already taking shape,
will be the largest ever constructed. It
will bare a compartment for mall bags
and seats for six or eight passengers.
It will be more than a hundred feet In
length and will carry a motor of 200
horsepower. The motor will drive dou
ble propellers, and the Inventor expects
that his craft will be under perfect
control In aU kinds of summer weather.
Knabenshue says that should the
Pittsburg-Philadelphia trip be mado
without mishap he will use Pittsburg
as a base for flights to Atlantic City,
Cleveland and Coney Island. His main
object Is to prove this theory that air
ships are of practical utility and that a
few years will see them In use at least
as mai, carriers. He has sent Invita
tions to all of the Pittsburg newspa
pers to nominate a representative to
accompany him on bis first great flight
A radical change in the model of the
balloon Itself will be seen, the huge
silk bag to take the form of a fish.
Knabenshue says that he will sail ta
Philadelphia on a bee line and that be
expects to top the highest mountain in
the eastern half of the country.
Automatic War to Boil Essa.
In a lecture at the Royal Institute in
Loudon Ileury Cunninghame showed
new way of boiling eggs, says a Lon
don cable dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. The egg was suspended from
the beam of a pair of scales and dipped
Into a saucepan of boiling water. The
sand from an hourglass trickled Into
the scale which buug from the other
end of the beam until the egg was
cookei. Then, the weight of the sand
lifted the egg out of the saucepan and
rang an electric hell. ,
