DEMOCRATIC GAME IN FUSION gubernatorial Contest a Side Issue to Elect Member* of Congress to Support Bryanite Program. [S pedal Correspondence.] Philadelphia. September 4. Manufacturers and business men of this city have been sitting up and taking notice since that demonstra tion in New York over the home-com ing of William Jennings Bryan. That pledio- to Bryan that Pennsyl vania will show a gain of at least tight Itemocratic congressmen in the returns of the November election, mad» by one of the campaign orators in the Emery gubernatorial outfit, has opened the eyes of Pennsylvania Re publicans, to the dangers that lurk in the fusion movement in this state. The loss of one Republican congress man in the Keystone state, the Gibral tar of Republicanism, with the uncer tainty that exists in so many congres sional districts in doubtful or debata ble states, means much more in the total result than is generally under stood. One vole may decide the elec tion of the speaker of the next na tional house of representatives, and the Democrats may get that vote from Pennsylvania through the game that is being worked In the deal between the Democrats and the Lincolnitcs. President Roosevelt, iu his recent utterances in letters to members of congress and others, has sounded the alarm, aud has warned Republicans everywhere to be ou their guard in every congressional district so as to insure the election ot members of con gress. who will coopeiate with his ad muiist ration in carrying out the great policies which he has inaugurated the building of the transcontinental (.anal the control ol the trusts, aboli tion of ti'-.gi>t di.-i riniinatious. restric tion ot immigration and the other treat problems whi. h he has under taken t" solve (rick the aid of a friendly congress. Aim of the Bryanites. When several hundred Pennsylva nia I'en iats journey* d to New York last week to gre< t Bryan they had but one tbouKht uppermost iu their minds. it was the election of Bryan to the presidency to succeed Roosevelt. Ev tjy effort that they can put forth be tween u<>w and the next presidential campaign will be directed toward that end Their activity iu the state cam paign in Pennsylvania this year is but part ot a general scheme, with the election ol the n< *t president as its ultimate obp et. Carried away with the enthusiasm with which their surroundings filled them, the Pennsylvania Democratic loutiugent at the Bryan reception in die" leetly revealed the cloven foot In the fusion < ampaign for Emery for governor John M Carman, a former chairman of th« Democratic »tat.- committee of Penii-yivania. who is booked to stump tbe Mate lor Knit ry ami fusion from now until election day iu the Victoria hotel. .New Yt ik. away from the en vironment ot his Emery Uncolnite fel low campaigners, threw off the cloak of the fusion conspiracy and revealed to Bryan and to the world, unwitting iv, tb» i:u t that the real aim of the Democracy in Pennsylvania this fail Is the eh* tion of Democratic members of congress Garman was spokesman for the dele gation of Pennsylvaniaiis who present ed Bryan with a solid-silver shield, suitably inscribed and mounted ii|>on a heavy old-oak escutcheon, and gaily decorated with tlowers. A Significant Testimonial.

Sail Carman to the Nebr.askan leader: "We liring greetings from a unite 1 Demoi racv, who recognize In the dem (lustration of popular good will toward you an inspiration for every Demo ( rat to look with confidence to the fu ture. "We at the same time are not un mindful of the importance of the elec tion of Democrats to congress, and there is every reason to believe that we shall gain from six to eight pepre sentatives to the lower house, who will co-operate with their fellow Dem ocrats of other states to advance the policies which you havo so consist ently an;l ably championed." J There is evidence that there has been an awakening among Republicans | throughout the commonwealth to the fact that nothing must be left undone i to thwart the Democrats and their Lin j colnite allies in the state campaign. PASSING OF THE LION. Mni'f* Mliflity llrnto I.nnln«c Cironnd llrlnrc Civilization. The lion, like the other great cats, is a relle of a diminishing race and do minion. In the early stone age tbo "cave" lion roamed throughout tho southern half of Europe, and It Is be lieved that along the Mediterranean, at least, its extinction was due to prehis toric man. The battle has gone on ever since. Long ago lions were exterminate*! from Afghanistan, Banichlstan and northern Persia. A century ago they I were more or less prevalent on north ; w«>steru India, but now none remain 1 save a few In the Gbeer, a wooded hilly tract of Kattlawar, where they are "to some extent preserved by the ua waits of Joonagboor;" Farslstan, where the marshes about Nirls lake pf ford -belter and the #osts of pigs feeding on the acorns of the oak forests furnish subsistence. Similar conditions enable a few lions to maintain themselves along the lower Euphrates and Tigris, but they were long ago exterminated from all Asia Minor, Syria, Arabia, Egypt and Alge ria From Abyssinia and the southern Sahara southward to the Orange river Hons still exist except In the most pop ulous districts, and in some places are very numerous. There seems never to have been more than one species, nor, In spite of tho former belief in the "uianeless lions of Guzerat" and the "black inaned" ones of other places. Is any variety well lo calized. Lions with full manes have been shot in India as well as those with hardly any. and "out of fifty male lion skins scarcely two will be fouud alike in color and length of mane."— Ernest lugersoll's "Life of Mammals." « I THE FLAG REVERSED. A Fl»h«»rman*a Km l»l«'in That Telia of l)i*tream and Hope. One of the frequent sights In the jK>rts along the eastern coast Is that of a fishing schooner coming Into the har bor with an American flag hoisted at the mainmast head In Its reverse posi tion. To the Interested spectators that flair always brings a pang of distress, for It means that one or more of the crew are "missing" through some calam ity of the s>-,-i. Hut to the members of the craft itself the signal Is not always an emblem of woe. The flag Is hoisted, from their viewpoint, to notify those concerned that the complement of the ship is not full, and they live on hope for a long time before they acknowl edge that the men who have disappear ed are really lost. A stranger to seafaring ways asked the skipper <>f one of these fishing schooners the other day what tho dis tress signal meant, and he was set right by the captain, who remarked in the most cheerful way In the world: "They're missing eiut of th' crew, of course, but we haven't given them up by a long sight. Ye see, they may have been picked up by some other boat an' carried off to th' other side. Oh, no, we don't give them up Just be cause we've missed them! It's more than likely they'll turn up yet."— New York I'ress. Klrpkinl I'owfr. How many men would lie needed to pull a weight hauled by ari elephant? Fifty. The answer Is the result of re cent Investigations made to determine the respective pulling power of horses, men and elephants. Two horses, weighing 1.600 pounds each, together pulled 3,750 pounds, or 550 pounds more than their combined weight. One elephant, weighing 12,000 pounds, pull ed K750 pounds, or 8,250 pounds less than his weight. Fifty men, aggregat ing about 7,500 pounds In weight, pull ed 8,750 pounds, or just as much as the single elephant. But, like the horses, they pulled more than their own weight. One hundred men pulled 12,- <KiO pounds. »'• c»»ei- 111* KypM. t ll'-! • V . grizzled old negro, vis ited az i _ il garden He stood fas cinated before a cage containing a chiuipanz' • and could not be induced to move.

The national Hag dies over the "gov ernment mill," owned by the Crane family at Dalton, Muss., because all the paper for the I'nited States green backs Is made there. It Is one of n group of mills in which the Cranes have made paper for more than a e*en tury. The founder was Zenas Crane. Before he could ge>t the first mill start ed be had to have a large quantity of rags. But rags were scarcer In those days than now. The Italian had not then arrived, the junk shop was tin known, and, although the rag buyer passed through tho sfre*ets of Boston once a week, lie bad not yet appeared In the western part of the state. This resulted in an appeal to tin* people, based on high economic and patriotic grounds. Handbills appeared with the headlines In large type: "Americans, encourage your own manufactures, and they will Improve! I.adles, savs your rags!" They were carried to all the home's and shops in Berkshire and adjoining counties, urging "every woman who has the good of her country and the [ interests of her family at heart" to j save her rags and send them to the new factory or to the nearest store keeper, "and a generous price will be paid." When the mill was ready the | rags were there In abundance, and op eratlons at once commenced. The working force consisted of four men, two girls and a small boy, with Zenas Crane as superintendent and chief pro prietor. The paper was made In hand molds, and the output was 100 pounds a day. Today the output is many tons of the finest bank note paper.— World's Work. THE WIND BELL. How It I* fnnstriipli'd In Jnpnn, Ita Orisrtnnl Home. The wind bell, as Its name Implies, is made to ring by the action of the wind—ln fact, the wind Ih'll is not a bell at all, strictly speaking, but a e-on trivance composed of a number of pendants suspended in a circle from a ring and hung close together so that they will co:ne into contact and pro duce sounds when swayed by the winds. Some wind bells produce sounds that are pleasing and musical. Some tire made with glass pendants, some with pendants of metal; some are very small and simple in construction, oth ers are large and massive and elalK>- rate. The original home of the wind liell is Japan. Iu its simplest form it is com posed of a number of narrow strips of glass, perhaps six Inches in length, suspended lengthwise from a wire ring aliout two inches In eliameter. Within the circle formed by the strips thus suspended is hung by one corner a little square piece of glass halfway down the length of the long strips, the strips and the square piece ornament ed with various Japanese characters and designs. This wind bell may be bung up wherever a breeze will strike it and blow the strips Into contact with one another and with the square sus pended among them. I letrolt News- Tribune. Artificial Bird*. In very early times men began to experiment with a view to making artificial birds and animals that would Imitate the motions of living creatures, anel If we are to believe the records, some of the artists In that line were remarkably successful. Archytas of Tarentum, who lived in tho year 400 B. ('., constructed an artificial pigeon that could fiy, but which was ti"t able to resume Its fll::ht after once alighting. John Muller, a German of great uie chanleal skill, constructed an artificial eagle, which on the entry of Emperor Maximilian Into Nuremberg flew out to meet him. and, returning, alighted on the city g.ite to await his approach. CONSCIENTIOUS ROGUES. The llln ami formidable Sinner* \r» larnr of Soul, \i»t IllaeU. No paradox is It, but a demonstrable fact, that In a highly articulate society the gravest harms are inflicted not by the worst men, but by those with vir tues enough to boost them into some coign of vantage. The boss whs sells out the town anil delivers the p •<» over to filth, disease and the powers that prey owes his chance to his engaging good fellowship and lifg heartedness. Borne of the most dazzling careers of fraud have behind them long and reas suring records of probity, which have nerved to bait the trap of villainy. Not that these decoy virtues are coun terfeit. They are, in fact, so genuine that often the stalwart sinner perse veres in the virtue that has lifted him Into the' high places he abuses. The legislator conscientiously returns the boodle when he finds lie cannot "de liver the goeids." The boss stands by his friends to his own hurt. The lob bying lawyer is faithful to his client. The corrupting corporation president Is loyal to his stockholders. The bo light en editor never quite overcomes Ills crnft instinct to print "all the news there Is." In a word, the big and formidable sinners are gray of soul, but not black, no that chastisement according to their character rather than according to their dtHids lets them off far too easily.—E. A.

People who have riot seen can form ! no idea of the suffering trappers cause ! nor of their ruthless destruction of | game. Nothing escapes them. Even the i squirrels are sacrificed to bait traps j for marten and fisher, and not only the | squirrels, but all kinds of birds, wheth er game or song birds. In trapping mink, otter, beaver and a few other fur bearing animals the i trap is nearly always set near the water, where the animal when caught ran drown itself, thus ending Its suf feririg. liut with hear, marten and fisher it is different. The bear must drag a heavy clog about until it catches in some root or bush. There he must wait until the trapper comes to kill him, and this in some cases is not for days. The bones of the leg are almost invariably broken by the trap, and the leg swells to In credible size. One trapper In one day <;hot nineteen large blue grouse merely to try a new rifle. The birds were nest ing. lie had no use for them, and not one ditl lie even bring to samp. Years ago in British Columbia an old trapper camped near our bear hunting party. lie shot everything he could find, even liltie ducks and marmots. A goat he killed fell over a cliff, and as it was harder to recover it than to shoot another lie shot another. He wus trapping beaver out of season and boasted of having caught one that was about to become a mother. I have seen the spot where a bear fast in a t rap had been caught for more ' than a week in a thicket through which | it was impossible to drag the trap and ! clog. I once knew an old French trap ' per who shot seventy-three moose and elk in one winter for bear bait for the spring catch. I asked why he killed so many. lie said that he wanted a big stink in the spring so as to bring the I bears around. All of the animals he had slaughtered for a spring stink were , sh «t v. i:h a r v ■!•. for they were . snow bound and could not escape. He j told mo that he dropped five big elk in I one |die. This frightful destruction by : trappers lias exterminated the game.— j World's Work. —- (flood For Llvll.

Then he binds down, resting his arms on the heal of the bidder, while the belt, on which are fastened great, thick squares of lead, is buckled around his breast and across his shoulders. The signal cord is fastened to the breastplate with leather thongs, and then the signal is given to the man at the air pump to "work lively," which mean:; that h is to scud the wheel around at a much faster pace than he does who:!
