THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. ' THE GERRYMANDER A GRAVE EVIL. Ex-President Harrison Write Thai It it Public Reproach. "The use of what is called the 1 Gerrymander ' in order to obtain an undue party advantage in the election of members of the House of Repre sentatives has become a public re proach," writes ex-rrcsident Harri son, discussing Congress in the Feb ruary Ladies' Home Journal. " It is the making of unfair Congressional districts, not having relation primarily to population and to the geographical relations of the counties composing them, as they should, but to party majorities in the counties, with the object of giving to the party making the apportionment a fraudulent ad vantage. The districts are made up to be Republican or Democratic, as the case may be, and the voters of the minority party are cheated out of a fair representation in the Congress ional delegation. This is a grave evil, but it may be doubted whether it would be cured or even much ameliorated in the long run, if Con gress were to take into its hands the making of the Congressional districts." rrof.

No doubt the report that Queen Vic toria Intends to abdicate will be re ceived by the Prince of Wales with a liberal allowance of aalt. He has been bearing that fanciful story oft and on for the last twenty-five years. The Czarina of Runla, who Is ft granddaughter of Queen Vletorin, Is making herself unpopular at her own court by the reforms she Is seeking to ntrodtice. She objects to the habit Itus- lan women have of smoking tobacco i) public, and has alo curtailed her usband's supply of cigarettes. Widows Preferred. THEY FREQUENTLY MAKE BETTER WIVES THE SECOND TIME. "There are many characteristics of widows," says an observant writer of the masculine persuasion recently, "which make them really preferable as wives. They are not so exacting for one thing. Their first plunge, if it has taught them anything, has taught them to be forbearing. Besides they are not so detestably romantic. If they drop their gloves in the street, they pick them them up without any fuss and do not wait for you to bend your knees to them. And a very strong point they know what men are and don't have to learn their lessons with sad tears and sighs, They are not so prone to be extrava gant either another excellent feather in their mature caps. In short, if you marry, don't pass over the widows as if they were just the alloy of humanity." 1 here is a great deal ot common sense in this. Even in wooing widow a man is sure to be saved much trouble. I he dear lady can meet him halt way without any sacri fice of modesty. This, to a humble minded bachelor, is much. She is, moreover, nearly sure to be quicker of intelligence than the average un married girl. Again, marriage often changes a young woman in the most alarming manner. The pretty, blushing girl of one year is often hardly recognizable m the assuming, haughty younj matron of a year later. She doesn show half so attractively as a full blown flower as she did in the bud The number of men who have thus wedded only to be disillusioned 1 You can tell some of them by the wrinkle in their foreheads within a year of two after their marriage or by the otherwise inexplicable habit of tact turnity that they acquire. One may form a tolerable idea of a widow s merits in some respects by her demeanor early in her widowhood, Tact is the supremely useful quality in the average widow. In the long run it is better than beauty in wife i better even than money. By it a woman may guide her husband toward happjness while ministering to the harmless pride in him which makes him think he is doing it him self.

The unseen singer finished his stanza, but as soon as he bad entered upon the stage In response to loud ap plause, the uproar was tumultuous and derisive. Ho weighed two hundred and flfty-Cve pounds and she about ulnety pounds. The contrast of the fat man and the thin woman was too much. It queered their act. It was an amusing failure. Mr. Drew's Vitality. It Is a wonderful thing that Mrs John Drew, who is 74 years old, should be acting in a wild and whirring Drury Lane melodrama like "The Sporting Duchess." The wonder Is not In Mrs. Drew's age, for many actors, of either sex, have kept on playing beyond thnt time; but, as a rule, their ability has never been very great at any period of their careers, or else their powers have fallen to a very ordinary level. These considerations do not make them less venerable or less loved, but Mrs. Drew's distinction lies In the fact thnt, after a very long life in all sorts of act lng and of much experience as a man' ager, she Is now, In what it seems lu appropriate to call her old age, at the zenith of her fame, with her services In active demand, aud with the public always delighted nt her appearuuee aud charmed by her act. A Cumimitlnl Incident. Canipanlul was devoid of business capacity, the quality most essential to the success of an impresario who has under his coiumaud an army of 100 to 200 or more people. He was severe, and had n rigid manner, with the Ital Ian Idea of being the padrone of the company, as he told me on one occa slon. I told him that this country was not Italy, and had no padrones. "With gmoothness and pleasant ways you can obtain all that you wish, not with ,1m peratlve orders," I said to him. Finally he had not funds enough to meet losses, as ho depeuded upon profits to nav his company. When the season was over ho was in debt to all the ar tists, nnd to other creditors to the ex tent of over $2,000, which he paid In obout two years' time, compromising with tho artists except Mine. Trlsolini who compelled him to pay her every cent that he owed her. Diego do Vivo, Otoros IHauioiiilH. "Send police boat to meet Cham nagne, with7 detectives to take charge of Otero's Jewels."
