In his admirable address delivered
at Nashville President McKinley said:
“We are all Americans before we are
partisans.” Is not this true ‘9 Let the

a quotation which he applied in his
praise. Mr. Tillman isa democrat, and

Mr. Lincoln’s eulogists to-day 'is the
successor in the Senate of John C. Cale

ican first in recognition of what has
made for the glory of the country.

In his praise of Tennessee the Presi-

men the state had contributed to his-
tory. .He said of the greatest of these:

“ It furnished us the immortal J ack-
son, whose record in war and whose
administration in peace as the head of
the great republic shine on with the
advancing years. The century has
Only added to the lustre of his name,
increased the obligations of his coun-

Is not the American put before the
partisan here ‘3 In partisan debates no
nime before popular audiences is so of-
ten or so effectively conjured with by
democratic orators as that of Andrew
Jackson. The republicans encounter
it in every national campaign. They
encountered it frequently in last year’s
campaign. In the effort to prevent
Mr. McKi'iiléy"s own election to the
presidency, democratic orators adjured
the people: to remember Jackson. But
that is only the partisan view. Before
that is the American view, and that
Mr. McKinley himself takes as gener-
eusly as any democrat. He can ap-
praise Jackson’s great qualities, and so
he salutes his memory with a tribute of
sincere praise. «2a

The President is right. Before their

ship. has been pushed to its utmost
limits, the people put their patriotism.
The .man who serves his country well,
whether on one side or the other, is
sure of gratefulremembrance in the
hearts of those whose vision pierces

An Unreasonable Widow.

It seems to us that the Widow Lock-
‘ett, of N ew_ York City, is what one
might call an unreasonable and unduly
strenhous person. She brought suit the
other day against one Henry Hamilton
an undertaker for $10,000 damages, the
complaiht being that Hamilton had em-
braced her and had done such damage
to her ribs and other parts of her bony
, structure as to warrant the claim for
consolation to the extent aforemen-
tioned. All of which moves us to
reiterate the sentiment that the Widow
Lockett must be a very grasping and
excessive person.

The published record of the case is
not especially circumstantial. We
gather simply that Undertaker Hamil-
ton had business with the widow—not
in, the way of embalming her, of course

i —and tliat, after concluding the purely

professional statements he had to make
; he conceived the idea of topping off the
. incident with an emotional demonstra-
tion: He therefore seized the stricken
Lockett and. so she says, hugged her
with great zeal and fervor. It does not
ture, On the contrary, the widow ad-
mits that he fled the scene at once.
What she complains of is the alleged
violence of the embrace, and what she
charges is that Hamilton inflicted in-
jury by compression, which, in con-
nection with the mental distress and

 

agitation resulting therefrom, cannot
be assuaged for less than $10,000.

It seems that the jury did not linger
long over the case. They took careful
note of Hamilton, found him an aged
person of seventy hard winters and of
feeble build, and straightway dismissed
the widow’s complaint. We are not
sure that the jury acted with perfect
equity and righteousness. They appar-
en tly did not take into consideration the
feelings of a widow upon being sudden-
ly embraced by an undertaker, and
they seemed to have overlooked the
possibility that her allegation as to in-
jury done to her ribs and neck may
have been a bashful metaphor covering
the purely sentimental shock to a
bereaved and still wounded heart. As
we have said, however, the case was
of the
undertaker, and we are thus left to

promptly decided in favor

conjecture for " an explanation. It
may appear upon further inquiry that
the Widow Lockett was warranted in
her indignation and her demand for
damages, but, in view of our present
information and speaking in a general
way of the matter as we see it now, we
are bound to. conclude that the lady
was extravagant in her estimates. She
does not appear to have considered the
undertaker’s age or the nature of his
temptations.

FEMININE CHAT.

It is not wise to start on a century
run with a breakfast foundation of one
radish and three strawberries.

The novelty purses have become so
cheap and so numerous that a new and
more exclusive style is bound to follow.

Never were there such decided colors
in parasols. Vivid greens and pugilis-
tic magentas are very much in vogue.

The woman who ties ribbon into the
handle bars of her bicycle is the same
type of feminine who puts a gay little
bow on her whip.

June at the seashore is the most en:
joyable month of the year.

The mode in summer frocks is appar-
ently a close resemblance to a. fluffy
lamp-shade.

Many an all-summer cold is contract-
ed by sitting out in the porch too early
in the season.

All silver belts are much in vogue
with the summer girl.

Cheer up, cherries are ripe and are
on the fruit stands.

Summer draperies are particularly
pretty and equally cheap.

Each season the soda water lists show
a great number of new concoctions, but
chocolate holds good as the popular
favorite year in and year out.

The girl who lies inthe sand all of
one day in order to get a coat of tan to
prove that she has been away for the
summer is also likely to get a sunstroke
that may sustain her in the fiction of
being away, but will prolong that ab-
sence indefinitely and not pleasurably.

The man who owns a tandem bicycle
discovers that there was never anything
he possessed before that made him one-
half so attractive to the feminine world
at large.

One doesn’t mind working when re-
sults are pecuniarily pleasant, but la-
boring for glory Is most emphatically
tiresome.

Floating Houses.

Bangkok, the principal city of Siam,
out-Venices' Venice. Not only are its
thoroughfares canals, but many of its
houses are floating, being, built of
bamboo upon bamboo rafts. When the
dwellers in one of these floating houses
wish to move, they simply cast off the
moorings, and float with the tide, up
or down the river, as the case may be.
When the capital was moved to Bang.
kok from Ayutlria, some hundred. years
ago, the cholera attacked the inhabi—
tants with such fatality that the king
ordered the dwellers on the shore to
build upon the river itself, and, proba-
bly owing to greater cleanliness and
better ventilation, the place was there-
after much more healthful-Golden
