Bex Rujsell U a true exponent of
Democratic principles and has ever
been. The efforts of watermelor.-
fame Winter to disprove him will only
act as a boomerrang upon himseif.
If some good Republican doesn’t
watch out the President will appoint
him to the Chinese mission. That
job is almost ripe. And in this con

This is the season when the news is
telegraphed over the country that
John Smith, a life-long Republican,
has concluded to vote the Democratic
ticket; or that William Jones, an ar

for the principles of protection. These
startling announcements are supposed
to stampede the votes.

1 Duel of Two Girlg.
At Charted, Russia, two girls who
were friends fell m love with the same
poring man. He was slow to mate his
selection between them. They agreed
that either could win him if delivered of
the baneful competition of the other.
They decided upon a duel by drawing
lots. On the day following one of the
young ladies was found dead in her
room. She had poisoned herself with
phosphorus. But her friend is broken
down with sorrow and remorse. It is
mire than likely that she will not live
to enjoy the fruits of her victory.—Paris

The Party Will Hare a .lUmliv
Jin** meeting.
It now seeras'that Thomas county if
going to have a meeting that' will open
.the eyes of some of the would-be-
bosses of that county.
A mass meeting was held there in
Hay last which took a snap judgment
:?n the good and true Democrats of
he county, and certain members of
the Republican Aid Society participat
ed and took a very prominent part In
the meeting. Ever since then the
loyal party men have been protesting
vigorously against such high-handded
and outrageous methods.
This sentiment has been steadyiy
growing until now it is crystalizing
Ad something may be heard to drop.
The News and Advertiser receiv-
el a telegram last night stating that a
petition V. i:h alfeady 300 names was
iag tlrct lated asking lor a meeting
to be held on the 231 inst. From all
Judications this meeting will be one of
unusual interest and some spicy pro-

The impecuidous admirers of pugil
ism will hear with sadness that gen
eral admission to the Sullivan-Corbett
fight will cost $15, and that an addi

seat. Sullivan, by the way, is report
ed to be getting gray, and he is em
phatic in his statement that this next
battle is to be no Patti affair, but a
genuine last appearance.
Angles In New Telescopes,
In the new form of telescope for stadia
work spider lines are entirely omitted,
and instead a prism is placed so as to
cover one-half the objective of the tele
scope, the consequence being that the
rays passing tijrough the prism make an
angle with the rays passing through the
unobsenred half of the objective, and
this angle is constant whatever the dis
tance of the object observed.—New
York Times.
Prodaction of Portland Cement.
Mr. Giron read before the Engineer’s
clnb at Philadelphia a paper on the trade
of the world in Portland cement, in the
course of which he said that the present
annual production in Europe amounts to
over 20,000,000 barrels and its commer
cial value to over £7,200,000. The first
factory was established at Northfleet, on
the Thames. The process was so crude
that in 1850 only four factories were in
operation. In England there is now
over 8,300,000 barrels made each year.
The process is much the 6ame as it was
twenty years ago. The raw materials
are chalk and clay, both pure, and al
though inferion processes are employed
they make a satisfactory cement.
A few years ago the entire product of
the kilns was put on.the market, but the
fineness of the Continental cements led
English makers to improve their pro
cesses, although even now English ce
ment is not ns a rule as firm as Geneva
or French Portland.—New York Even

Photographic Paper.
Photographers were obliged until re
cently to import from Germany the par
per used in their work, our own manu
facturers being unable to assemble the
nacessary conditions of material water
and workmanship for the production of
paper suitable for silver printing.
A procesa has now been perfected in
this country whereby a very ordinary
paper is coated with a thin surface of
sulphate of barytes and answers admi
rably for photographic use, bringing out
in the finished picture a wealth of de
tail formerly unknown injhe art, it be
ing lost in the texture of the paper em-

Both Senate anil llcuse of Repre

the whole Pinkerton business in a!
aspects. "We greatly hope the whole

There seems to be an apt illustra
tion in the family of Cyrus W. Field
that it requires only three generations
for a family to go from the top to the
bottom of the ladder, and vice verse.
His distinguished father brought up a
family of remarkable son3, of whom
Cyrus was the most noted. His chil
dren have been comparative failures.
Three generations hence the excellent
qualities ot the blood may again be
made manifest.

Hox. B. E. Russell is a sure enough
candidate for congress from this dis

tory and forcible argument is winning
him support wherever he goes. His

The Idaho miners have gone so far
in their career of violence that it is no
longer possible for the authorities to
eonsldar them in any other light than
as outlaws. By using dynamite and'
shotguns tor the purpose of enforcing
their alleged rights, they have de
stroyed their own liberty and jeopar
dized the liberty of property. As a
labor organs tion they began th3'law
lessness, but as individuals they will
have to answer for murder, arson and
the malicious destruction of property.
Two years ago five Alliancemen
went to congress as Democrats from
Georgia. Before they were good in
their seats two of them went into the
the Third party. The five subscribed
to the same political dogmas. What
assurrance have Georgia Democrats
now that the three may not any day
follow the example of the twq? The
five were Ocalaites. The two followed
that illusion to its logical end. The
three have not done it yet, but may
turn up in the Third party at any
time. Under such conditions can
Democrats agord to turn the three to
Congress? Most assuredly not.

EXIT PINKERTON.
Oce thing stems certain, says the

of the present labor troubles in and
about Piittsburg. That is that Pinker-
tonism has received its death blow.
There bad long Keen a growing feel
ing, often times vague aud indefinite—
floating nebulous, so to say. in the
popular consciousness—that the em
ployment by private persons or cor
porations of standing armies of mer
cenary troops was not altogether con
sistent with public policy. It needed
only a tragic episode like that at
Homestead—prepared for by Frick’s
open c.ntempt of the State authority—
to convert this feeling into a convic
tion, fit finite, decisive. Papers and
persons ot all classes and ot all shades
of political or religious views are now

Booth's BosS Character.

Fhuy were discussing the character* in
whioh Booth had been most successful,
and the yonng man with a blond mus
tache was satisfied that Hamlet was by
far his best part.
“If yon ever saw him in that part
when he was at his best,’’ he said, “yon
wouldn’t dispute the assertion for a mo>
merit.'
“Saw him!” exclaimed the man with
the dark beard scornfully. “I've seen
him in about everything ho ever played.
Why, his Hamlet was poor compared
with some of his other characters. His
Othello was better than his Hamlet, and
his Macbeth”
“Macbeth!” broke in the yonng man
with the blond mustache. “Why, that
wasn’t up to Romeo, and that's saying a
good deal. His Shylock was better than
his Othello.”
Every one in earshot was interested by
this time, but just as the man with the
dark beard was beginning a scathing
retort with some side remarks about the
“Fool's Revenge” the little fellow with
the single eyeglass roused himself and
said:
“I sayl You’re both wrong, yon know.

She used to see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
a slaver bird, studied on this for a long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room, being
dark they ootjfd not Bee the bird and
began searching for valuables, for they
were burglars.
Polly now proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button of
the electric belL
It brought the servants to the dining
room, where, after a short straggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much of the valuable
silver in £he dining room.

The Indian Attendant* on m«
The Indian attendants who now inva
riably accompany the queen are a source
of great trouble- to the court officials
who haTe charge of the various arrange
ments. The Indians require to travel
by themselves in a. separate saloon, and
their meals and all refreshments must
be served to them in the train at the
stopping stations instead of their going
to the buffets with the suite and the
European servants.
Special arrangements have also to be
made for the Indians at the hotels, which
cause much bother and considerable ex
tra expense." Yet they have practically
no duties and are perfectly useless ex-
cent for show.—London Tit-Bits.
