The producers of alcohol in France are somewhat disturbed because of the new invention by which alcohol is manufactured by synthesis by means of acetylene. Although the process is as yet too costly to endanger their In dustry. the members of the Society of Agriculture of Nord. in a recent meet ing, memorialized the government ask ing that a duty of i'/ 2 rents a pound to be placed upon carburets. R. If. M. Jantzen, a Pittsburg en graver, has engraved the alphabet and eight other letters and figures, making thirty four in all, on the head of an ordinary pin. This surpasses any feat of the kind on record, and re quired the best of skill and patience to accomplish. The alphabet alone has been engraved frequently heretofore on a pin head, but the task of adding eight other characters is very difficult. Reports have been submitted to President E. H. Harriman, of the Southern Pacific railroad, for the con struction of a tunnel nearly seven miles long through the Sierra Neva da mountains, at a cost of about sl4- 000,000. Such a tunnel would cut down the summit grade about 1,500 feet, and would enable the company to dispense with all but three of the for ty-two miles of mountain snowsheds. Steps having been made to organize a union of Austrian locomotive engi neers, the minister of the interior for bade the formation of such a union, on the ground that it would be a danger to the state. The organizers appealed to the imperial court, alleging that such a prohibition was In violation of their political rights. The court has decided that the prohibition by the ministry was legal and well founded. The weaving of stone into material for clothing, the making of flexible and lasting granite trousers, black mar ble coats and fancy onyx waistcoats may be a possibility of the future, the weavers say. Already curtains are made of asbestos and cloth manufac tured from chalk, while a certain spin ner has an armchair covered with a soft and silky fabric of Titian red, which he wove toilsomely out of rock red shell. Automobile sign posts to serve as warnings of dangerous turnings, de scents, or faults in the highways will be placed throughout France by spring. The system of posts as de vised by the technical committee of the Frensch Automobile club is ex tremely practical. The idea was tak en from the cyclists' sign posts, al though the motormen's signs are more novel and at the same time more easily read. Mr. Carter IT. Harrison, wife of the mayor of Chicago, has become the re cipient of a decoration at the hands of Henri Merou, the French consul, for her work in advancing the interests of the Alliance Francaise. On behalf of the latter M. Merou presented her with a handsome gold medal suspended from a clasp in the form of a rosette. The medal Is the insignia of an officer of public instruction, and is higlrly prized among educators. What is undoubtedly the smallest horse in the world has just been brought to Tampico, Mexico, by Ta biato Eposito and sold to A, J. Morri son. of I job Angeles, Cal., for a large price. This Tom Thumb of eqtilnes, which is appropriately named "Lilli putian," stands just high enough to reach to his owner's knees, and weighs only 73 pounds, though fat and plump. The pony is seven years old and 22' inches—five and a half hands—tall. In some respects Venezuela is the most interesting country in the world.

DEMOCRATS HAVE NO CHANCE. V lit tin nit nit luue jtnil Without «, l.eader, tin- Outlook for Tlti'iii Siever Was Darker, The Boston Herald, vvjiich has no bias against the democracy, lias been looking* over the ground, and says it cannot see any chance for that party to carry the country in 1904. It looks at that 137 majority against the dem ocrats in the electoral college in 1900, knows that the majority would have been much bigger in 1902 if a president liatl been elected cliis year, and does not understand how tliey can escape defeat by a very large ad verse vote two years lience. The Her ald is not exhibiting any feeling in the matter, but tells this as a contri bution ti> the political philosophy of the time, says the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Many other intelligent, newspapers are in the same quandary as our Hus ton contemporary. In fact, very few democrats, it is safe to say, look for victory for their party in 100-4. No leader is in sight around whom the bulk of the democrats would rally. Bryan has bis own faction, but most of the democrats cast of the Missis sippi are against, him, and he himself does not look for another nomina tion. llill has been discredited by the defeat in New York, and by ilie socialistic coal plank in his state platform, which was denounced by many representative democrats out* side of his state and by some in it. Even bis candidate for governor, Bird S. Coler, took pains during the enn \iiss to say that he did not favor that expression. Gorman has very few friends among the masses of the democrats, and Cleveland, who is mentioned in connection with the candidacy by a few democrats, is im possible, of course. Moreover, the democrats have no issue, so far as the country has been able to learn, which would raise up a leader or attract any considerable number of voters. They have been forced to drop silverism, militarism and imperialism, they dare not make a light on the tariff, and there is no issue for them in the trusts, for Ihe republicans have preempted that question. The outlook for the demo crats was never darker two years be fore a presidential election than it is at. this time. Their party is so de moralized and discredited, in fait, that it is of no use even as an opposi tion. From present indications, it, will enter the coming canvass under the cloud of foreseen, deserved and over w helming defeat. 'SILVER IS DOOMED.

The lesson of the industrial dis organization now prevailing in all countries using a silver standard is that silver must everywhere speedily give way to gold, says the llrooklyn Kagle (ind.).

Columbia, S. C'., Jan. 16. —Xarcisso Gener Gonzales, editor of the State, is at the Columbia hospital in a crit ical condition from a pistol wound in flicted by James 11. Tillman, lieuten ant governor of South Carolina, and a nephaw of United States Senator Tillnia n. The shooting occurred on Main street, at the intersection of Gervais street, in full view of the state capi tol, the most frequented corner in Co lumbia. It was just a few moments before 2 o'clock Thursday when the cry was passed along the streets that "Jim Tillman has shot X. etween the two men first grew out -of a fist fight between United States Senator Tillman and Senator McLaurin on the floor of the United States senate. Maj. Mioah Jenkins, who was with Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba, and who had won a record for braver}", was to have been presented with a sword by the people of South Caro lina in recognition of his courage and the fame which he had won for his state in the Spanish war. The presentation was to have been made by Lieut. Gov. Tillman. When President Roosevelt withdrew his in vitation to a state dinner in Wash ington which he had sent Senator Tillman, because of the fight the lat ter had in the United States senate, Lieut. Gov. Tillman refused to present the sword to Lieut. Jenkins. Mr. Gonzales took up the matter in 'his paper, the Daily State, and bit terly denounced Tillman, lie repeat ed the denunciations made previous, on many different occasions, and even dared Mr. Tillman V> deny the charges which he had made. The charges Gonzales made were spread all over the south and made a deep sensation. FIVE BOYS KILLED. Were Struck by an Hvprotw Train While 4 oanllng Doun Hill. South Bethlehem, Pa., Jan. 16. — Five boys, whose ages range from 13 to 15 years, while coasting last night were struck by a train on the Phila delphia fir Heading railway and in stantly killed and another was fatal ly injured.

The boys were coasting on a bob sled. The railway crosses the street at the bottom of the hill and the sled and express train reached the cross ing simultaneously. The engineer was not aware of the tragedy until he reached the station, a mile dis tant from the scene of the accident, when the blood and bones on the pi lot of the engine gave him the first intimation of the occurrence.
