publican National Convention"
Ambassador BayardTs Im-
peachment.
(From our Regular Correspondent. )
Democrats have every reasono to. be
: i perfectly sntisfied with the Congression-
jal outlook. If the Republicans adopt
,| the policy: of introducing fake impeach�
ment ~resolutions for the purposeT of
abusing Democfatie officials, instead of
doing something to'relieve the distress
which they, had so much to say about
during the last Congressional campaign
there will certainly be a general reac-
tion in favor of the Democratic party.
And that reaction will be equally cer-
tain to come if the Republicans do any
tariff tinkering along the linés of the
McKinley bill.
SenatorT Hill has reintroduced his
resolution for a cloture rule in the Sen-
ate and has announced his intention to
make a fight for it, and the large num-
ber of new Senators"men who are not
bound hand and foot by tradition"
makes him believe he will succeed.
Senator Gorman didnTt let the report
that he would not be a candidate for
re-election get well started before he
called it down, He will be a candidate,
and he is confident that he will be able
to pull Maryland back into the Demo-
cratic lines and be re-elected to the
Senate.
,Setiator CametonTs ' annduncement
that he would retire from public life at
the close of his present term was a case
omust.� Quay had served notice on
him that his place was wanted. Cam.
éron has also stopped putting his good
money into that Presidential tat-hole.
The stories about the winning and
{losing of votes between the ballots tak.
ett by the Republican National Com:
mittee to decide upon the city ~whieh
was to get the convention doubtless
make good reading for those who do no
know the tacts. ~The only: oie of the
competing ~cities that never was in it
was San Francisco, notwithstanding its
standing second when the convention
was knocked down to St. Louis"the
Quay-Reed combine thatT the Pacific
coast must be jollied by giving Sait
Francisco a large vote, but not ~atge
enough tu carry the convention there.
The convention was sold. . Theré i nd
déubt about that, and either Chicago;
Pittsburg or New York could have se-
cured it by raising the bid of St, Louis.
In fuat ~some of thé gentleineh repre,
senting Chicago were told after the first
ballot, in hich Chicago� only hd eight.
yores,. had been. taken, that "Chicago
4 | could have the convention if the price"
1} $100,000"was put up, The Chicago
committee after a consultation re-
"wea to. pay that much, and after three
more ballots the convention was given
.|to St. Louis simply: because it had, | paid
more for it than any other city would
vay. The setting of June 16th as the
date for the Republican convention will
make'the Democraticconvention unusu-
fally early, ifthe usual custom of the party
in power holding its convention first be
followed.

first played in England in the mid.
dle ages. It is a historical fact that
the Knights Templars brought it|-
back with them ~to that country on
their return from the second cru-
sade. There is also good reason to |
Delieve that the game was played in
the monasteries of France in the
sixteenth century. ae
Its origin was probably ~bowling,
a variation of which was the old
game of o~gruund billiards.� From
that it began to be played on a ta-
ble, driving one ball through an
ivory arch and then to a raised
point, made also of ivory. This was
the game for many years, each of
the two players having a ball, the
third ball not being introduced until
just after the middle of the eight-
eenth century, when what was
known as the port and ringTT also
disappeared.
In a Harleian manuscript in tho
British museum is found the earliest
historical reference to billiards.
This is interesting enough to give in
detail. In the year 1547 a commis-
sion was appointed to make an in-
ventory of the goods and chattels of
Edward VI, and among the items
found at his palace at ~fhe More,
Rickmansworth, was oone billet
bourde covered with grene clothe.�
This palace was confiscated by Hen.
ry VIII, having originally belonged
to Cardinal Wolsey, and there is lit-
tle question but what that great his.
torical character actually essayed
the game himself, though no.record
has come down as to whether. lic
was as good a billiard player as he
was a statesman. '
A few, but not many of the old
writers refer to billiards, ~Faery
Queene� Spenser being one of them.
Shakespeare in his ~~Antony and
CleopatraTT makes that amorous
queen, by an anachronism, play the
game and also appreciate its fine
points. Ben Jonson, Smollet, Bur.
ton and Locke all made reference tc
billiards in their Tr
Tho game was slowly developed.
The table was sometimes round.
sumetimes square, oblony, oval aud
even octagonal. Not until the be-
ginning of this céntury did the bil- a
liard table appear somewhere near
its present form. Prior to 1810
india rubber cushions, the slate
bed, the tapering cue with its tip
and the rest had not been invented.
The third ball was introduced by
way of France in the middle of the
eighteenth century, and the game
was then known as ,the varambole.
From this has been derived the word
carom. Bartley & Carr, the proprie-
tors of a fashionable billiard room
in Bath, England, over half a cen-
tury ago, invented the now well
known side stroke"striking the ball
low with a bevel topped cue"Carr
devising billiard chalk, which he
gave the name of the ~~magio twist-
ing chalk.�T He packed it in pill
boxes and made a fortune by selling
it to the fashionables of that day at
half a crown (62 cents) a box. The
cork tip was invented by Captain
Mingaud, a Frenchman, who was im-
prisoned early in the present cén-
tury, but through a special dispen-
sation was allowed the use of a bil.
liard table in his apartment that he
might while away the monotony of
his prison life, While incarcerated |
he studied out this improvement
and had the satisfaction afterward
of seeing it taken up all through
England and. the continent,"Phila-

plead for eyéiashes"beautiful, long,
curling ones. There is nothing in
the world se serviceable as a pair of
effective eyelashes. They make any
kind of an eye pretty. If oneTs orbs}.
«| are not a pleasing color, all one has}
todo .is to drop the curtains, look
| down, not up; inward, notout. Let
the eyelashes lie along the cheek,
and if they are the right kind one
looks charming. And the lovely
part of it is, for those blessed, that
they cannot be counterfeited. They
are never false. If pou were not
born with them, sighing for them is
of nouse. Nor can art supply the
leficiency. She hides her head in
~shame at her utter. lack of skill, for
they must be indigenous"you canTt

Every fow and then some one
starts up with an idea about making
short, thin eyelashes grow to be the | :

THE EASTER
desired kind, and every new scheme
has its followers. . But it is all hope-
lessly futile. A girl can"of course
she doesn't"pad to help out short-
comings in her form. She may bor-
row other peopleTs hair, and she
may layin a stock of complexion
that will last her a year"that is, if
she should want to do such things,
but she canTt button or hook on that
desirable silky fringe to the eye
which would enhance her charms
immeasurably.
The latest theory on this subject
launched is thatif the lashes are
trimmed every two weeks for six
weeks the rest)t will be a very thick
etowth. But it is a deep laid plot of
sme fortunate one to deprive her
sisters of the little they have. One
girl I know tried it. She took avery
sharp pair of embroidery scissors
and neatly trimmed the lashes of
her left eye. Then she examined her
work in the mirror and was very
much surprised at the result. The
left eye appeared much smaller than
the right and the row of little blackT
stubs felt very queer, to say nothing
of how they looked. And the com-
meuts it excited and the questions
she had to answer! As bad as when
a man gets his hair cut.
oWhat is the matter with your
.| eye?TT some one would ask. ~Looks
as if you were going to have a sty.�
It took a long time before that eye
matched the other, and there was
not the slightest difference as re-
gards the growth after itdid come
out. Clearly that i8 a, soheme Whigh
deserves tobe eXposéd.
It is always the way. A girl who
|has everything has the eyelashes
thrown in, and age may wither her,
but they are Imperishable. A pretty
little woman, oone who can give
~~butterfly kissesTT beautifully, oom-
plains that she cannot wear a veil
with any comfort becanse ~~her eye-
lashes get tangled in the meshes
and annoy her dreadfully.� Poor
thing! She has told the story to ev-
ery one she knows, but none of: the
girls sympathizes with her. Each one
tried to make her own do the same
thing. sites st sipnia ames.
