Of all Ei .opo, Paris, France, is the city of workshops and petty factories. It is estimated that there are 98,- 000 factories and workshops in the city, and that 60,000 girls are kept working on hats and gowns for about eight months of the year. The oldest United States soldier Is declared to be J. J. Overton, of Los Angeles, Cal., who is now 105 years old. He served* in the Black Hawk war, the Mexican war and the civil war. Mr. Overton is a native of Penn sylvania. He walked three miles In the last G. /v.. R. parade at Los An geles. That a person who has been often stung by bees becomes in time im mune to the poison of the sting is as serted by Dr. H. F. Parker. He re ports that when he first began to keep bees he was frequently stung and that each sting was attended with acute pain; but that as time went on the pain and swelling became less. Abdul Hamid is anxious to return the visit paid him by Grand Duke Nicholas as the representative of the czar. The commander of the faithful is desirous of sending his representa tives in a battleship with as much pomp as was displayed by Nicholas at Constantinople, but finds himself un able to do anything; his only avail ble warship is at present held in pawn by a shipbuilding company until the bill for repairs is paid. Some idea of the wealth of Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Carnegie's former partner, may be obtained when it is stated that in the last two years he lias purchased real estate in Pittsburg, the aggregate value of which is $lO,- 502,000. This includes the Schenley property, at the Point, which he bought for $2,000,000. It also in cludes St. Peter's Catholic cathedral, for which he gave $.1,325,000, and the new Frick building, erected at a cost of $4,500,000. Two Kansas boys, the sons of Mar tin Coneannon, have made at their home near Lansing, 18 miles north west of Kansas City, a discovery which has already set the scientists of America agog and promises in a little while to embrace in its study and in terest the whole scientific world. What the boys have found. In a word, is the skull of a man who Is supposed to have lived in America before the glacial period, or. from ten to thirty thousand years ago. Hoopeston, the home of Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwood and the most prosperous little city in the richest agricultural district in the great state of Illinois, has what may be truthful ly termed one of the most econom ical and successful forms of munici pal government of any city in the world. The city has a population of 4,500, and the mayor of the town re ceives an annual salary of but 50 cents or $1 for each term in office, the term consisting of two years. Dr. Nelson R. Wood, of the Smith sonian institution, has made a study of the conversation of many kinds of feathered creatures. He declares that they have language of their own, in which they are able to convey their ideas to each other, and the only rea son why we do not understand them is that we have not taken the trouble to listen and observe. Dr. Wood not only comprehends much of what birds say, but, to a considerable extent, he can make them understand him. Most monkeys have nothing but nose holes, and no real nose, as we consider it. Rut there is a monkey in Borneo that has a long nose, longer even than that of particularly long nosed human beings. A specimen ot this monkey, known as the proboscis monkey, has just been brought alive to Europe, and is now in Hamburg. The queer creature has attracted much attention. It looks grotesquely hu man-like —very much like a man who has put on a big artiflcal nose for fun. Hawailans are laughing heartily over a joke played on the members of the senatorial commission here recently. United States Senators Mitchell, of Oregon; Foster, of Washington, and Burton, of Kansas, were made to eat dog—not political dog. but real cooked canine. Those who are authority for the story declare that the senators ate the fare with relish and called for more. The dish was Served to the party at tine of the native "luaus," or leasts. INACTIVITY OF DEMOCRATS. Caboni'il Polirin of tin* Party Leave Notliluic for It to Goto Work I poll. Secretary Shaw lias bit the correct causes' of the democrats' failu/e to at tempt an active canvass in 1902. They are unable to put forward any policy which will appeal to any considerable number of the people. The platforms of the party in lhl)G anil l'.HiO are ta booed. They dare not indorse either of those proclamations of principles. Free silver is ignored in all the .states cast of the Mississippi in the cam paign this year. Even in Ohio nothing is said about it by the democrats. The Philippine question is such a power to the republicans that the dem ocratic stump speakers appear to have received orders from their congres sional campaign committee to say nothing about it in any shape. Car mack and a few other vociferous per sonages talked against what they called imperialism early in the cam paign, but they were promptly muz zled by the head of their campaign committee. Not a democratic orator or newspaper of any standing any where in the country is at present at tacking- the republican policy in the Philippines, says the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. I'nder such conditions, of course, tlir republican* are not able to get up a lively canvass. It takes two sides to make a fight, and there seems to be only one side in the contest of IMI2. Kven the tariff, on which such demo cratic leaders as Cirover Cleveland have advised their party to make a tight, is> virtually ignored now," &1- ANOTHER GHOST AT THE DEMOCRATIC HARMONY FEAST. though something was said about it earlier in the campaign. The tariff planks of the president ial canvasses of tSbS and 1892, in which Cleveland was the candidate, are obsolete now. The assault which Cleveland ordered on the tariff in 1887, and which poor lJoger Q. Mills led in 18S8, would re ceive no sort of countenance from the democracy in 1902. There is absolutely no tight in the democrats this year 011 anything-. The republicans have es tablished the gold standard on such a firm basi.- that the democrats dare not attack it again. The republican policy in the Philippines, which is giv ing to the Filipinos all the home rule which they are now fitted for, and which is educating them for a larger measure of autonomy, is so strong with the people of all parties that the democratic leaders have given orders that the subject shall not be men tioned at all in the canvass-. There is 110 reason for surprise, therefore, that such stalwart demo crats as Senators Vest and Morgan have been saying that the democrats have nothing to gain by a victory this year, while they have much to lose. The leaders of the party, ap parently, not only do not look for victory for their side, but they are against any attempt to win a victory. The Democrats are making no can vass of any activity or intelligence anywhere. Knowing that the condi tions are strongly against them, they seem to be too'diseouraged to show any earnestness in flic cam paign. They arc letting the repub licans do most of the work which i being done, and this, on account of the democrats* failure to make a con test, is rather feeble. This is the rpiietest congressional canvass which the country has seen in many yetfrs. It is to lie hoped, however, that the weakness of the democracy's side will not lull the republican leaders into any sense of overconlidcnce. Their duty is to work to get out tl'.c en tire vote of the party. If they take intelligent advantage of their oppor tunities they can win a victory a few weeks hence which will place the party in excellent shape for the great canvass of 11)04.

All Tliat Ha.* lleen Do/.e to Itcuulnte Tliliiitm Hum Hccii Done by l(«'pti l» I i<*aiim. It was the republican party that en acted legislation against the trusts The democratic party has been con tent, as in iliis stale, to use the trusts merely for the purpose of campaign debate, and to propose against them the remedy of state socialism or free trade, says the Troy Times. In a speecli at Boston Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who, like every other candid observer, finds both good and evil in these immense combina tions of corporations', presented in a convincing manner the. history of the ease against the trusts. lie showed that in 1 sss during President Cleveland's first administration it democratic congress appointed a committee to investigate the subject. After six months of in vestigation tlir committee reported that it could form no opinion and sim ply presented the testimony taken. When Benjamin Harrison had been chosen president and a republican sen ate had been elected, the first I>i 11 pre sented in the senate was what is now known as the Sherman anti-trust law. It is tlie only anti-trust law of a fed eral nature on the statute books t<> this day. This was Secretary Shaw's summing up: "During Mr. Cleveland's first adminis tration a democratic congress" declared the tc.sk' 1): yond its strength, Th first repub lican congress under Presld* tit Harrison p'.t.-svd th< Sherman law, and' it has. re ceived the sr.ill of approval ot the republi can party by resolutions rep< ntedly adopt ed in many state"and national conventions. Thi democratic party came into py the recent business stagnation in some localities on the conti nent but for the tariff? The republican I-arty watches primarily that the American labor,r shall have i mpioymer. 1. It is prob able that during the last year or two free trad'v In iron would have cheapened the praduct to the American consumer, but l.&.O/ ' people, fed and' clothedtdirectly by wag. - paid by the various iron and steel manufactories, would have b. en again begging bread-. I treasonable prices are always obectionable, but prices unreasona bly low are more objectionable ar.iMraught with greater hardships, tio all those who .-apply the wage-earner's r.ecissltiei, than prices unreasonably high." The republican parly lias been the party to which in all times the people have safely turned for the prcserva t ion oft heir inst ii lit ions and t lie main tenance of their prosperity. Theparty of negation and destruction—t hi; democratic party —continually offers some quack remedy for any disturb ances in the body politic. Hut the peo ple have had too many sad experi ences in trusting that party and are 100 wise to turn from tlie safe path of prosperity to clioo.-e the will o' the wisps which gleam over impassable swamps. It-*'lf a combine advances the price ol meat, or if the price is increased by purely natural causes, the Amer ican consumer should be nt liberty to purchase food wherever it can be I ought and bring it to iliis country without a direct tax upon bis hunger, such as our taritl" law now imposes.

Venezuelan ICebcl* Itetreat In !>!■- Ord«r-<'n«lr»'» Troii|« I'iirniin i hi'iu and Capture One of Their (•eneruln. La Victoria, Venezuela, Nov. B. News lias been received here concern ing' the retreat of the revolutionary forces, (t is to the effect that on the night of November 1 the revolu tionists withdrew from their posi tions near La Victoria and San Mateo because they were without ammuni tion. The fact that the rebels lacked cartridges caused a disagreement be tween (ien. Matos and (ien. Rolando, which was followed by hot words. Gen. Rolando declared that the shortage of ammunition was the fault of (ien. Matos, and that if the success of the revolution was endangered by this condition, 'Matos alone was re sponsible. Jle said that all was lost, and with liis followers, about 3,200 men, withdrew from the main body of the rebels in the direction of Alta Graeia. It is reported that (ien. Ro lando has proclaimed "El Mocho" Hernandez as the leader of the revo lution. President Castro, when he discov ered that the revolutionists only re treated because of their absolute lack of ammunition, caused them to be pursued day and night by government soldiers. The latest report issued by the gov ernment says that Gens. Matos, Men doza and Kiera and "their commands are fleeing in disorder in an effort to reach the mountainous districts. Guerillas in the service of the gov ernment captured and brought to President Castro certain records and documents belonging to members of Ge. Matos' staff, as well as the gen eral's personal correspondence. The contents of these papers give evi dence of the critical situation of the leaders of the revolution. President Castro having sent his men in all directions to cut off the retreat of the enemy, left here yes terday for Caracas. The government soldiers who are following up the rebels scored their first success Fri day morning by the capture of (ien. Ramon Luizi. who was making his way in the direction of Alta Graeia, with 300,000 rounds of ammunition and 4,000 men to reinforce the revolu tionists. LAND FRAUDS. Soldier*' Widow* and Cattlemen are Said to Have Iliiciiecd 111 I iilaivlul Ilea la, 'Washington, Nov. 6.—The interior department has suspended, with a view to cancellation, a large number of alleged fraudulent land entries in Nebraska made by soldiers' widows who, it is charged, have entered into an agreement for the tr.insfer of the lands to caittlemen. \Y. N. Lesser, of lowa, a special agent, whose head quarters have been for several years at North I'latte, Neb., has been sus pended in connection with these pro ceedings. The action follows an in vestigation that has been conducted in Nebraska by Col. John S. Mosby, the former guerilla leader, who is now a special agent of the general The exact extent of these opera tions is not disclosed, but so far as known there are about 45 or 50 of them, each entry being for IGO acres. The government recently has been enforcing its regulations for the re moval of fences erected by cattlemen on public lands and an effort to vali date as far as possible the land now occupied by the cattlemen. Under the law soldiers' widows have a right to make entries of public lands without any residence requirements but they are required to make improvements and cultivate the lands. lt_ is under stood that the women who made the entries are mostly Chicago people who were influenced to take these steps by the agents of cattlemen, with ithe agreement to transfer the land to the latter by leases, with the right to purchase.

Six working days have been con sumed in traveling from place to place in the anthracite coal regions, and the arbitrators feel they are now qualified to sit in judgment on the controversy between the mine own ers and their employes. In all the commissioners were lowered into seven mines of varying conditions and went through several breakers.
