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.
Engraved in large script letters was
the foilnwiiiK inscription
"Th« more than half a million Demo
crats of Pennsylvania join with
pride in the national greeting

The above reproduction from the

for governor should in itself be an
admonition to Republicans of the Key

future success of Republicanism iu

Hut. added to the warning that
Rboul 1 be contained in that plank from
the state platform, comes a speech by
Carman In presenting this token ol
esteem to Bryan.
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

"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

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."—

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

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.

FINEST BANK NOTE PAPER.
Wliere tlie Material l-'or Our tireen-
ItaekH Is «ln<le.
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.—

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.

THOUGHTLESS TRAPPERS.
Torture* to Animal* aii«l l<ijtlil«**a
I ><»*t r u<*t ion of (iaine.
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.—

that the diver's is the only occupation
under the sun in which a tin can Is n

Tln» can !a question Is not an orna

it la his bttsluess as much as any fop
| needs either of the silver implements,
for it is in this battered old tin tliut
[ ihe valet drops the thumbscrews that
keep the rubber cloth of the diving
I suit confined i:i place between the
outer and inner plates of the cuirass
like «=!so!] t!ie diver wears over his
shoulders an 1 a his breast. There
'hey return m til the diver is ready to

picl.s them out of the tin and screws
them back lu place.

or platform from which he Is working,

below. It is a business that requires a
B-i'id deal of time, for the diver's Ufa
tV.> -nils on just how carefully each of
the -v 'l-.il things are done, and no

Is belrg drc •• i. He sits perfectly still
with his 1 in's clasped between his
knees, rarely spc-klng, his eyes fixed
on some di ant point as though he
were absorbed in considering some
weighty pro' ie i.
Meanwhile t!ie v 'lot has been draw

and then he slips down over his head

Then < •;. • the final touches of the
costume, which are always made as
near the head of the ladder as possible,
for these operations consist of putting
on the wei rlited shoes, the weighted
breast belt and the copper helmet. The
diver slips his feet into the shoes of
cast iron, and his valet and another
helper buckle them around his instep.
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:! Ih;> diver Is fit work, this
being done t > ;T"»t a good current of air
passing through the pipe. Least time
of nil dees it take to put the helmet
on.for it is dropped into place, and
after one half turn the thing is done.
Down goes the grotesque figure be
