HIS PAKTI SADLY WRECKED.
Insincerity of the Bolteri Claims Exposed
in a Frantic Tirade Araiit DemocraU
Who Refused to Support Creasy.
(Special Correspondence.)
, Philadelphia, Nov. 28 The political
wiseacres were treated to & rare spec
tacle this week in the convocation of
the wise men of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania represented by the mem
bers of the executive committee of the
Democratic state committee, along with
Colonel James Madison Guffey. the
ambitious millionaire, who represents
the Democratic party of the Keystone
state in the Democratic national com
mittee. They met in this city and it
was announced that they came to In
vestigate the causes of the falling off
of the Democratic vote at the recent
election in Philadelphia. Before they
left town they had a bigger Job on their
hands. They found it necessary to in
quire into the reasons why the Demo
cratic voters in "certain counties"
which meant nearly all of them did
not go to the polls nd cast their bal
lots lor William T. Creasy, who posed
before the voters of Pennsylvania in
the late campaign as a farmer." His
posing was not. however, a great suc
cess. The people scon became aware
of the fact that he is what is known
as a "political farmer." He was out
for office and the farm came in for sub
sequent consideration.
But be that as It may, many Demo
crats did not vote for him.
Colonel Guffey got his lieutenants
here to talk the whole matter over and
figure out where Colonel Guffey "was
at" in his aspirations to go to the Uni
ted States senate from Republican
Pennsylvania. With the Democratic
partv in such a bad shape Colonel
Giiffev was at a loss to see how he
could take advantage of the support
of the Republican insurgents under the
leadership of the Flinn-Martins.
A CHANGED PROGRAM.
' The original program of the Guffey
Ites was to clean out the Philadelphia
Democracy. But they were called down
by Chairman Donnelly, cf the Demo
cratic committee of this city. Ha
pointed out that the small vote for
Creasy In Philadelphia was proportion
ately no worse than the returns from
Colonel Guffey's own county of Alle
gheny showed, and that Lancaster and
other counties of the state were quite
as emphatic in turning down the Dem
ocratic candidate for state treasurer,
who thought he could be elected be
cause he was smiled upon by tbe Wan
amakers. the Flinns, the Martins aad
the others who have gone outside of
the Republican organization, either
to get office or seek revenge upon tbe
men who have been chosen by the Re
pnbllcan voters of the 6tate to manage
their organization.
The executive committee of the
Democratic state committee will ac
cordingly appoint a committee to In
vestigate the causes of the falling off
of the Democratic vote in "certain
counties cf the state."
And it will be found that Democrats
r.s well as Republicans were disgusted
with the "unholy alliance" of the Dem
ocratic leaders with the repudiated Re
publican insurgents.
THE OTHER SIDE.
The Insincerity of the political
preachings of the Flinn-Martins and
their Democratic allies in Pennsylvania
politics is again exposed in the wild
rantings of the Democratic organ of
Mr. Creasy's home county over the
crushing rebuke administered by the
people to the men at the bead of the
campaig of pbariseeism from which
this state has just emerged. Mr. Creasy,
a Bryanlte Democr-. went up and
down tbe state call g upon Republi
cans to desert the! party candidate
and vote for him. In this canvass he
was assisted by all tbe Flinn-MarMns
of the so-called Republican insurgent
coml ine. These Republican bolters.
whil still professing to be Republi
cans, contributed time and money to
the cause of tbe Democratic nominee
for state treasurer. They w re indig
nant when they were accused f treach
ery and disloyalty to the E -publican
party. Mr. Creasy" champ. ns, with
an assumed possession of ail the vir
tues, sought to make tbe people believe
that it was no act of party disloyalty
for a Republican to vote for Mr. Creasy
and cut Colonel Barnett, because, al
though they admitted that Colonel
Barnett was nominated by the Republi
can state convention without a single
vote being cast against him, they said
he was the candidate for "the ma
chine." For this alleged reason Col
onel Barnett was not entitled to the
support of the Republican voters, de
spite the fact that their duly chosen
representatives in convention assem
bled had nominated him unanimously.
This preaching of Creasy and the
combination of Flinn-Martins does not
seem to have borne much fruit in the
Republican party. Of course, many
politicians attached to the old combine
cut Barnett and voted for Creasy, but
considering the character of the cam
paign wj i for many weeks and the
Immense sums of money spent to de
feat Colonel Barnett. the cutting done
was quite immaterial.
DEMOCRATIC INSURGENTS DE
NOUNCED. But tbe hypocrisy of the men who
were working up this boom for Creasy
U revealed by the outburst of indigna
tion that has come from the Demo
cratic organ in Creasy's own county,
of which he was at one time editor, the
Democratic Sentinel, of Bloomsburg. It
appears that some of the Democrats
among his neighbors took Mr. Creasy
and his insurgent allies at their word,
and concluded that if it was not trea
soaable for Republicans to cut the'
regularly nominated candidate for
state treasurer, it could not be wrong
for Democrats to go outside of their
party and vote for Colonel Barnett.
This many of them seem to have done,
for the Creasy organ is frantic with
rage over ieir having taken Creasy
seriously at d cut their ticket.
GOOD READING FOR REPUBLICANS
The Sentinel boldly charges that
men who hold ofSce through Demo
cratic votes were disloyal to Creasy at
the recent election.
Among other things. The Sentinel
bays:
"Duty and common honesty de
mand that we speak plainly. About
the first duty the Democracy of Co
lubia county has to perform is to
weed out the traitors, and the
aooner the weeding out process be
gins the better for the party and
the people. Talk about ingrati
tude. Men holding high official po
sitions have actually combined
with the Republicans or quietly
stabbed tbe party in the bark. It
may be that men who so far forget
themselves are happy over their ef
forts to disorganize, but all honest
and straightforward men will place
the proper standard upon their
principles and honor.
"It don't pay to be dishonest In
politics. If a Democrat can't be
square with his party while in of
fice he should be man enough to
go squarely over to the Republi
cans, so the public may knew
where to find him."
It is suggested that at the next meet
ing of thejFIinn-Martlns Mr. Creasy
be invited to be present in order that
he may read the above editorial com
ment for the benefit of the Republican
officeholders, FHnn and Martin, and
the other bolting members of the legis
lature and the corps of Republican ex
offiee holders, headed by former Gov
ernor Hastings, who have been co
operating with the Democracy for the
last two years.
How many of them will follow the
advice from this Creasy organ and "go
aquarely over" to the Democratic
Party?
PASSING OF M-MANES.
The death of James McManes. the
veteran Republican leader, was part
of the history of the last week. In
earlier days his political power la
Philadelphia was great. He made and
unmade candidates for office, and he
was ever in the thick of the fight. He
will be remembered for his executive
ability as a leader, and now that old
animosities have been forgotten, there
Sin te few evea amoc those wbo

A rector writes from Uoulton, Eng

stance of a very high order of Intelli

instinct:
"I have a buildup, ogd 10 months,
and a bulldog 4 years old. both of
which live in the bouse and are great
pets. A short time ago my wife was
ill. ana, though tbe older dog, owlug to
his quiet and sedate way. wa allowed
to enter her room, the puppy was nev
er admitted, Tbe nurse could always
tell which dog was at tbe door, because
the older dog gave one single and gen
tle scratch anil then remained quiet,
while tbe puppy scratched violently
and frequently and whined. The puppy
apparently could not understand why
she was not admitted, and felt her ex
clusion sorely.
"One day she scratched furiously as
usual. No notice was taken. Present
ly she was Leard going flop-flop down
stairs. In a few minutes the single
gentle scratch of the old dog was
heard, ttc door was opened, and there
were both dogs, and. strange to say,
from that time the puppy so Imitated
the scratch of tbe other dog that It
was. Impossible to tell which was at
tbe door. Undoubtedly the puppy went
and asked the old dog to show her
how be gained admission. How else
can one explain the fact?"

According to an obst-rvant Phlladel
phi.m whose business Is to sell cigars,
the careless smoker Is largely respon
sible for the big dividends match man
ufacturers enjoy.
"Just watch it any time," he remark
ed a few days ago, "and see if I am
not correct. The average smoker of a
cl?ar will talk or think regardless of
his weed until It goes out. Then he
will suddenly discover tbe absence of
the fire which makes a cigar enjoyable.
Out from his iocket comes a match,
and In an instant It has been struck
and tbe lighted lucifer placed against
the cigar cud.
"In his eagerness to get another light,
however, tbe smoker has, ln nine cases
out of ten, forgotten to knock the
ashes off his weed. As a result the
flame from the match fails to pene
trate the ash heap, and the match
liame doesn't cut any figure. I've seen
it so many times that I don't laugh at
It any more, but It must be funny to
casual onlookers. After this when your
cigars go out before they are consumed
be sure and knock the ashes off before
trying to relight them. Then you will
stand a fair chance of securing another
light and at the same time put a kink
In the profits of the matchmakers.'"

There is something really pathetic
in the way amother butterfly builds
a nest for her children. In the first
pliice, the little home where the eggs
are dejiosiied represents a great deal
of sacrifice, for it Is lined with several
layers of down plucked from the moth
er's own soft body. The eggs having
been laid carefully upon this luxurious,
pretty couch are protected by an equal
ly pretty coverlet made of the same
materia L
These butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an intricacy that is
o,uite curious aud perplexing. Some
times a lied is made so that each sep
arate delicate hair stands upright, thus
g.ving the entire nest the appearance
of a little brush of downy fur. Then
again, the eggs are laid spirally rouud
a tiny branch, and, as the covering
follows their course, the effect resem
bles the busy tail of a fox. only the
nest is more beautiful than the "brush"
of the finest fox that ever roamed over
country.
The building of this downy nest Is
the latest earthly labor of tbe mother
butterfly, for by the time it is com
pleted her own delicate Itody Is denud
ed of its natural covering, nnd there
is nothing left for her to do but die,
a sacrifice which she promptly and
heroically makes In the Interest of the
coming butterfly generation.

Pennsylvania Republicans Lining
Up For the National Campaign.
NO TIME FOR INSURGENTS.
Katses of the Voters Not Seedy to Be As
sociated With the Democracy on the Eve
of a Great Presidential Battle.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg. Nov. 28. During the last
week there have been a number of
prominent Republicans here from dif
ferent sections of the state on both of
ficial and private business, and an op
portunity has been afforded for sound
ing them as to the sentiment in the
Republican party in their respective
localities. The opinion was unanimous
that the stalwarts are everywhere in
a happy frame of mind as the result of
the late election, and that the party
organization was never in a more
healthy condition to begin a presiden
tial campaign. The success of so many
county tickets where the outcome of
tbe last election had been regarded as
doubtful, was most gratifying, and now
the closing up of the lines for the next
year's fight with the Democracy Indi
cates a better feeling among Republi
cans throughout the commonwealth.
The complete route of the Democrats
and their insurgent allies at the elec
tion fairly dazed the leaders of the
bolting Republican contingent They
have been trying ever since to reform
their lines and to get themselves to
gether. They have found that while a
few disgruntled and disappointed ex
officeholders, who still have aspira
tions In tne same direction, are getting
toeether In Philadelphia under the
Flinn-Martin leadership, with Wana
niaker money bags behind them, they
are woefully lacking In followers. Re
publicans of the rank and file want to
stand by the party organization with a
presidential campaign coming on. and
they have no idea of joining an insur
gent outfit which must co-operate with
the Democracy If they hope to make
any snowing at the polls whatever. The
Republicans of the interior counties
realize that the only road to prefer
ment Is through their organization,
and they look over the long 11- of dis
tinguished party leaders and see that
they all found success through loyalty
to their party organization.
ROOSEVELT A STALWART.
A most conspicuous case in recent
years is that of Theodore Roosevelt,
who. while undoubtedly a sincere re
former, ww quick to realize that )
could accomplish most good throuf
the medium of the Republican organ
ization to which he owed allegiance.
While sorn'S of the notoriety seekingre
formers. who have never accompilshel
anything practical, are still maligning
Senator Piatt in the Empire state,
Roosevelt lias, with Piatt's aid. brought
about many reforms in the govern
ment of New York state. He has found
that Piatt is not half as bad as tbe pro
fessional reformers would have the
people believe and that his services
can frequently be utilized to the ad
vantage of the citizens of his native
Plate.
Tbe men who are waging war upon
Colonel Quay in this state are also,
through the Wanamaker newspapers
of Philadelphia, attacking Senator Piatt
of New York and Senator Hanna of
Ohio, and they find nothing good to
commend in the administration of
President McKinley. Editorial as
saults upon the McKinley administra
tion are becoming quite as' conspicuous
and as frequent as attacks upon col
onel Quay, and Senators Piatt and
Hanna are roasted almost every day.
How these men can expect Republicans
to follow their selfish and insurgent
leadership, when the welfare of the
Republican party in the country de
mands that there shall be a harmoni
ous organization to start the b&itles of
next year, is a -uy-iciy to practical
minds.
Because Piatt and Hanna appreciate
the strength of Quay and his ability to
help the Republican national campaign
next year, they are made the subjects
cf bitter personal abuse in Wanamaker
newspapers.
QUAY'S STRENGTH AT WASHING
TON. A special dispatch from Washington
reviewing the situation as to the pro
posed seating or Colonel Quay by the
United States senate, says:
"Colonel M. S. Quay will undoubted
ly be seated by the United States sen
ate. It will only require a majority
vote to accomplish this result, but it
can be positively stated that two-thirds
of the total membership of the senate
will be recorded in his favor. In other
words, out of the 86 senators Colonel
Quay will be supported by about 60.
The names of all the senators who will
vote to seat the distinguished Pennsyl
vanian are in the possession of Sena
tor Quay's intimate friends here. b-n
they will not be made public at pres
ent for the reason that quite a number
of the pledges of support have been
given in confidence.
"One factor that has materially con
tributed to the large vote which Colonel
Quay will receive has been the meth
ods emploved by the insurgent leaders
in Pennsylvania to accomplish his de
feat. A distinguished Democratic sen
ator from the south, who is a close stu
dent of state politics, said tonight that
he had but recently made up his mind
to vote in favor of Quay.
WILL VOTE FOR QUAY.
" 1 have always voted against seat
ing gubernatorial appointees when the
legislature has failed to ele-t,' said the
senator, "but I have decided to do oth
erwise in the Pennsylvania case. My
vote this time shall be cast to rebuke
the money power in politics. I see by
the newspapers that a crowd of dis
gruntled politicians, most of whom
have fattened at the public crib for
years and have thereby accumulated
fortunes, are perfecting an organiza
tion in Philadelphia having for its pur
pose the dsfi-at of Senator Quay in the
next legislature. It has been publish
ed and not denied that, aided by a cer
tain very wealthy merchant p-ince who
has ror many years nurr.ed itenatorial
ambitions, they propose to raise a vast
sum of money, estimated at not less
than half a million dollars, with which
to conduct their campaign against a
man who has admittedly done more for
the state or Pennsylvania than any
senator who has ever represented the
Kevstone commonwealth.
" 'Such an enormous amount of
money for a purely political purpose
can be nothing more or less than a cor
ruption fund, and I believe that the
men who inspired this fund deserve to
be rebuked. I shall vote to give Penn
sylvania its full representation, and I
am stifiel from my convorsiflous with
other senators that tbe methods and
characters of Quay's opponents will be
an important determining feature with
many of my Democratic colleagues in
deciding how they shall vote on the
floor of the senate, and I shall frankly
say to my associates and the whole
country that I am voting for Senator
Quay in preference to Mr. Wanamaker.
"The senator who gave utterance to
these sentiments is one of the best
known public men In the country, and
his views are largely representative of
the feeling on both sides of the cham
ber. In fact, it is freely predicted by
Senator Quay's friends here that if the
Insurgents carry out their threat of
sending a committee to Washington to
protest against seating him they will
only succeed In Intensifying the senti
ment for him and solidifying his sup
port. The appearance of snch a com
mittee here, they say. will give his
champions In the senate a chance t
expose the reform pretenses of thi
Martin-Flinn brand of politicians, and
will thus aid the nator'a cause."
STONE STANDS BY DEWEY.
An incident of the week was the
emphatic manner in which Governor
Stone expressed himself In condemna
tion of the attempts of some of the yel
low journals of the country to create
a sentiment against Admiral Dewey oa
account of his having transferred the
house with which he was presented. If
there is one striking characteristic In
he makeup of Pennsylvania' stal
wart and big hearted governor Jt is hit
love of his heme life. He is devoted
to his. wife i-nd childrea and Is never
more pleased than when he Is sur
rounded by members of his family. He
is not given to running around to so
cial functions, and he avoids occasions
of this character, except where he feels
It his absolute duty as the representa
tive of the state government to be
asked his opinion of the at
tacks upon Admiral Lewey Governor
Stone said:
"I am disappolrte with the criticism
on Admiral De . for deeding the
house and lot given to him to his wife.
I do not think the people understand
or appreciate the motive which led him
to make this deed. I believe that the
Admiral was entirely right in giving
the property to his wife, and I believe
that instead of condemning him he
should be sustained and approved.
"I believe that the wife oueht to own
the home where the family live and
that husbands and fathers ought to be
encouraged in deeding the homestead
to the wife. She is naturally the queen
of tbe home and should have title to
the possession.
"The unpatriotic act which some see
in tbe admiral's deed to his wife has
no foundation. A man is none the less
a patriot and lover of his country be
cause he makes the home where his
wife and children live secure in the
wife against his business enterprises
and too frequent improvident specula
tions. "I believe that the convention of
mothers recently assembled In Lancas
ter missed their opportunity for bene
fiting women by not passing a resolu
tion commending the admiral for his
act and thereby encourage men who
are fortunate enough to have wives
and homes to put the title In the wife
and make It secure against possible un
fortunate business enterprises and
speculations.
"I do not mean by that that a man
should be encouraged in putting his
propertyln his wife's name, but where
he has a home that be owns his first
duly is to his wife and children, and
the title to that, at least, should be and
remain in the wife. Dewey has set an
example which it would be well for
husbands and fathers to follow."
BROOM CORN SEED.
Tradition Sars Frant.Ha IMaated Ike
First One In This lonnlrf.
Every housewife Is supposed to know
how to handle a broom, but It is safe
to say that not one in teu has any
clear idea of what her sweeping utensil
Is made of or how it is made or where
the material came from. Brooms are
made from the heads or brushes of
the broom corn, a first cousin to our
common field corn. And In this con
nection U told a very pleasaut little
fairy story concerning Benjamin
Franklin. "Poor Richard." by tbe
way. seems to have been about the
biggest Jack of all trades tliat ever
bcled the United States to become the
richest and most powerful untion of
the world. If this story is true, he Is
the patron sahit of the housewife and
the broom ma kvr. as well as a kite
flier, lightning catcher, printer, pub
lisher, editor, author, philosopher,
statesman aud other things "too nu
merous to mention."
Broom corn first grew In India. From
there It was carried to Europe. The
story goes that Dr. Franklin was ex
amining a whisk broom that had been
brought over from England In the
days before ne bad auy broom corn of
our own. He found a single seed on
tbe broom, picked It off. planted it and
raised a st.ilk of corn from which is
descended, so to seak. all of the
broom corn of tbe United States.
However this may be. broom corn
grows much like its first cousin, our
maize, which originated here. The
bead Is larger, however, and the seeds
grow on the head Instead of in ears.
The heads are cut off. leaving about
six iucbes cf stalk, and the seeds are
scraped off by a machine, which does
a clean Job aud does not injure the pan
icles. The seeds are valuable in a
way. They are fed to horses and poul
try fnd ground Into meal for cattle.
In the making of the brooms, the corn
Is put around a handle of bnsswood
or soft maple turned lu a lathe. Each
layer Is wound tight with twine or
wire until the desired size is attained.
The broom is then pressed out flat and
sewed to keep It in that shape. Whisk
brooms are made in the same way.

AN EFFECT OF LIGHTNING.
Damaged a Pair of Erea Thai Were
Large aad Bright.
Through the brotherhood of affliction
that comes from wearing glasses In
one of their various forms a popular
official of the Rapid Transit company
told in conversation the other day of
a curious reason why be wore prescrip
tion helps to eyesight. "It was because
I Was struck by lightning." be said. "It
was when I was in my teens. I sat
between an open window and an open
door and there was a flash. The last
1 can reincuilier Is a sense of having art
envelope of light around me. 1 was
picked np Insensible ami those wbo
first saw me say that smoke Issued
from my mouth and nose. All thought
I was dead, but I slowly recovered and
soon seemed to be as well as before the
heavenly visitation.
"The serious effects of the shock,
however, develoiied in my eyes. Their
largeuess and brilliancy bad been often
commended on by my friends, but
these more or loss desirable features
had been destroyed by the electric
fluid. The pupils and the Irises con
tracted aud 1 found a great difficulty
in my vision. An expert oculist exam
ined the eyes and pive some scientific
name to the ditliculty. That's nuothcr
story. I only know that I can see and
am glad to be alive.
"One effect remains, however, that Is
rather curious. Most people who have
been struck by lightning are funrfcil of
being struck again. Not so with me.
I'm uot nervous even iu the height of
an electrical storm, but I confess I'm
not anxious to sit in a room at such a
time where there are two openings Into
the disturbance. That would be Invit
ing destruction." Brooklyn Eagle.

THE FIXAL StfASH UP
MANY PREDICTIONS CONCERNING
THE END OF THE WORLD.
Theaa Prapbe-lea Have startled
Inhabitant, of Thla Old Earth from
Far B-eU a. th Vear 1HW-Th.
Fear ef CoMteta.
In 1521 Jean Stofler. a German,
plunged Europe Into terror by predict
ing a universal deluge In 1524 "owing
to the conjunction of several planets In
a watery sign"-tbe watery signs are
Cancer. Scorpio and Pisces. At his
ominous, words thousands fled to the
mountains, and others took ru&e ln
boats. AwIuoL a doctor of law and
canon of Toulouse, even built a sort
of ark on four pillars as a haven of
refuge. There was no need of such
excitement No flood tame. On the
coutrary. (tie season was even cnlmer
and drier than usuaL Stofler had. lu
deed. made a serious blunder and one
for which many of his fellow astrol
ogers. Including Cardan, never par
doned him.
Stofler. however. Is only one In a long
list of prophets whose predictions in
regard to the end of the world have
proved utterly false. As far back as
the year 1000 many communities iu
Europe were driven half distracted by
rumors that tbe day of Judgment was
close at hand, and again. In lliai whole
Cities were paralyzed with fright for
the same reason. Now and again cur
ing the latter part of the middle ages
the same extraordinary phenomenon
was witnessed, though In a lesser de
gree, aud ever since the modern re
vival of occultism there have not been
wanting erratic prophets of the Jean
Stofler type.
Years ago a Mr. Baxter created a
sensation In England by bis prediction
that the world would certaiuly come to
an end In 1SS". Thousands believed
in him. aud great was their surprise
when they discovered that he was mis
taken. Yet such Is the credulity of
human nature that their faith in him
remained unshaken, and, no matter
what year he selected as the flual one
of the world's existence, they accepted
his prediction as gospel truth.
F.iuu!ly bold, though doubtless not
as pouuhtr as Baxter, is the Abbe Du
pin. cure of the village of Dion, in
France, and author of a book with the
following extraordinary title: "The
grand coup or universal cataclysm will
ravage the world between the l'Jth and
21st of September. IStHi, according to
the Scriptures. The prophecies of the
Old and New Testaments compare
with those of the fathers and with
the secrets of La Salette. in which Is
foretold the great war which will de
stroy nine-tenths of the human race,
the coming of antichrist and bis
reign, after which the church will
triumph over her enemies ami the
reign of Christ begin on earth." Tbe
author fixed September, lSW. as the
time when the great "coup," as he call
ed It would take place, but be added
that If it did not take place then It
would certaiuly occur before the close
of ism
The tipiH-arance of comets has fre
quently given rise to similar predic
tions. This was the case when the fa
mous comet of 1US0 appeared. Whis-
ton ascribed the deluge to Its former
appearance, aud such an excitement
did It cause among all classes of the
people that Bayle wrote a treatise to
prove the absurdity of belief founded
on these portents. Mme. de Levigne.
writing at the same time, said: -
"We have a comet of enormous size.
Its tail Is tbe most beautiful object
conceivable Every person of note Is
alarmed and believes that benven. in
terested in their fate, sends them a
warulug in this comet They say that
the courtiers of Cardinal Mazarln. who
Is despaired of by his physicians, be
lieve this prodigy is In honor -of bis
passing away and tell him of tbe ter
ror witb which It has Inspired them
He had tbe sense to laugh at them and
to reply facetiously that the comet did
him too much honor."
M. Camille Plammarion. tbe distin
guished French astrouomer, says on the
same subject: "In this century predic
tions concerning the end of th world
have several lime been associated
with comets. It was announced that
the comet of Blela. for example, would
Intersect the world's orbit on Oct. 20,
1SC2. which did as predicted. There
was great excitement Once more the
end of things was declared at band.
Humanity wns threatened. What wa
going to happen? The orbit tba is to
say. the path of the eartb-had been
confounded with tbe earth itself. The
bitter was not to reach thai pont of
its orbit traversed by the comet until
Nov. 30. more than a mouth after tbe
comet's passage, and tbe latter was at
no time to be within 20X,000 leagues
of us. Once more we got off with a

The orginal "boucaniers" were
wild and picturesque gang. To the
waist they were generally clothed in
& sunburned and weather beaten skin,
and they wore pantaloons of a coarse
linen, dyed and stiffened with the blood
of bulls and pigs and held up by a belt
of rawhide, stuck full of deadly knives.
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings, and they ear
ned a long barreled firelock, loaded
with ounce balls of lead.
They were animated with a common
hatred of the Spaniard, which in their
eyes Justified apy attack upon bis per
son or property, aad by a wild sort of
attachment to each other in their peril
ous lives, which led to their being
known as the "Brethren of the Coast"
When the Spaniards drove them Into
the career of marauders upon the
sea. the word buccaneer took a new
meaning, though they were also known
as freebooters. This was a mongrel
English word, "buiten" being Dutch
and "bneten" German for plunder. Of
this word the French made "fribns
ter," with the silent and then soften
ed It to "filibuster." which the Span
iards modified Into fillbustero. So we
finally got the word back, with a new
meaning and a special application as

CECIL RHODES' IDEA.
His Reason Far Deellalaar at Driak
In the Early Daa at Klmberley.
In connection with the foundation of
Cecil Rhodes' colossal wealth, there Is
a story told by an old fellow miner.
himself lately a colonial minister of
finance, which illustrates at least one
tratt In the character of tbe great
South African financier and politician.
During the early days of the Kim-
berley diggings It was the custom
when a miner found a particularly fine
gem to Invite those about him to the
ccremouy of "wetting the stone L e.
drinking champagne at the finder
espouse, witb the Idea that It would
bring good luck In the discovery of
another treasure. In the adjoining
claim to that first taken np by Mr
Rhodes. In the very center of the crater
bolditfg the precious blue dirt, this In
vitatiou had upon a certain occasion
pone forth, and the men were goin
their way up to the hotel when It wa
noticed that Rhode stood aloof.
"Hello! Come on Rhodes!" shouted
the lucky finder of the gem. "Arcn"
you comiug up to wet the stone' for
good luck?" To which, however, Cecil
Rhodes only shook bis bead.
"I say. come on. there's a good fel
low." persisted his neighbor.
"What are you going to do?" asked
Rhodes, looking up.
"V -t the stone with champagne, of
course."
"Well." replied the future magnate
decisively, "I did not come out here to
drink champagne, but to make money,
and then went on witb his work.
That Mr. Rhodes has succeeded In
that purpose, probably beyond all
flights of his imagination. Is now a
matter of history. New York Sun,

There came to a young doctor aa un

tbe same abhorrence of sonp. Lookluc
down upon tbe child for a moment, the
doctor solemnly said:
"It seems to be suffering from 'hydro
pathic hydrophobia.' "
"Oh. doctor. Is It as bad as that?"
cried the mother. "That's a big sick
ness for such a mite. Whatever shall
I do for the child?"
"Wash Its face, madam,' replied the
doctor. "Tbe disease will go off with
the dirt."
"Wash Its face wash its faee. In
deed.'" exclaimed tbe mother, losing
her temper. "What next, I'd like to
know!"
