FREELAND, NOVEMBER 18, 1895.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. November 15, 1895.
Does President Cleveland desire to be
renominated? That is about the first
question asked by every Democrat who
has arrived in Washington since it was
published that Vice President Steven
son had said that Mr. Cleveland would
bo nomiuatcd again if ho wished to be.
It is probably because many Democrats
have regarded Mr. Stevenson as a prob
able candidate for the nomination him
self that his opinion has attracted such
wide attention. Mr. Stevenson has the
reputation of being an unusually shrewd
obsorver of events in the political world,
and, although ho has never had an open
rupture with the administration, it is
known that he has differed witli it in a
number of notable instances. It is be
cause Democrats know these things that
they regard his words as significant, and
are asking whether Mr. Cleveland wants
to run again. It can be stated upon the
highest authority that he does not; but
tho number of Democrats who believe
that he will accept if the convention
nominates him is much larger today
than it was before the recent elections.
Nobody would be surprised if the story
placing Secretary Carlisle on the vacant
seat in the supreme court turnsout to be
true. President Cleveland thought
enough of Secretary Carlisle as long ago
as during his first administration to
make him a justice—the chief justice,
in fact—of tho supreme court, and
would have done so had not a gossiping
tongue repeated whero he would
bo sure to hear of it a bit of scan
dal connected with a night's episode in
the private life of Mr. Carlisle. Since
that the president's admiration lias been
increased for Secretary Carlisle in
numerous ways, not the least of which
was his unqualified endorsement of tin;
president's financial position, and it
would not be strange if ho carried out
the intention ho first had, provided, of j
course, that Secretary Carlisle desires It. I
Secretary Olney has received a letter
from Rev. Dr. 11. O. Dwight, whose duty
it is to watch over tho American mis
sionaries in Turkish territory, highly
commending the promptness and energy j
which have been displayed by Mr. !
Terrell, the United States minister to '
Turkey, during the Armenian troubles.
Dr. Dwight says he speaks from person
al knowledge and adds to tho force of
what he writes by informing the secre
tary that Mr. Terroll has no knowledge
of his having written. This ought to be
a sufficient refutation of tho charges of
Indifference and carelessness which
have been made against Mr. Terrell by
his enemies in this country.
It would be interesting to know
whether any politics was talked whin
President Cleveland went to New York
to attend the marriage of ex-Secretary
Whitney's daughter. It was the first
time the president and his ex-secretary
of tho navy had met for several years,
and there was much they might have
said to each other that would have in
terested Democrats everywhere. No
man in this country is a bettor judge of
trend of political sentiment than William
C. Whitney, and no man is bettor quali
fied to be a safe adviser of the adminis
tration.
Secretary Olney lias received a copy of
the proceedings of the French court mar
tial which sentenced tho negro Waller,
who is an ex-United States consul, to
twenty years imprisonment under the
charge of having betrayed French mili
tary movoiuonts in Madagascar, and tho
wife of the imprisoned man has given tho
secretary all tho information in her
possession, documentary and otherwise.
It cannot he stated what Mr. Olney
thinks of the case, but others who have
had access to the information regard the
outlook for Waller as a bad one, and say
that the case had boon misrepresented
for political effect.
All tho members of the cabinet, ex
cept Secretary Carlisle, have completed
their annual reports, and the president
is daily working on his annual message
to congress. Secretary Carlisle's report,
like the president's message, will not be
made public until after it goes to con
gress. Tho others will bo given out in
a few days. S.

GEORGE A. W. KINTZ.
AN ANATOMIST'S IDEA.
Ho Demonstrate* Srientideally That Wom
en Aro the Weaker Rex.
In ft paper read before the recent
Anthropological congress at Cassc!
Prof. Walreyer, of Berlin, a very dis
tinguished anatomist, attempted tc
prove scientifically that women are thr
weaker sex,and his arguments have al
ready aroused an immense amount oJ
antagonism among the women of Ber
lin and Vienna. The learned anatomist
v.ent on to discuss the general pointf
of difference between the two sexes,
dividing them into primary and sec
i ondary, after which he set Jiimsolf to
' show that the human mule has a much
i more developed muscular and bone sys
tem than the female, and has more seri
ous claims to be regarded as a powerful
machine. Among differences of great
er or lesser importance, he noticed th
fact that the index finger in the femab
often extends beyond the middle finger
that her teeth formation is very differ
ent from that of the male, as is also thr
skull. He laid special stress on thr
difference in the weight of the brain '
and the development of particular part?
of that organ in the two sexes, differ
ences which are noticeable from the
first day of the birth of a boy or girl.
But the question of the difference in
the blood was that which seemed tc
clinch the matter, over and above which
it has caused no end of bad blood out
side the walls of the museum in which
the congress held Its sittings. It ap
pears that there is a difference in the
"thickness," and it is not by any mean?-
to the advantage of the female. As n
matter of scientific fact, indeed, accord
ing to the professor, one cubic centi
meter of blood taken from a man con
tains an averugo of 5,000 red blood
corpuscles, whereas the same quantity
in a woman lias no more than 4,500.
Amd these red blood cells are absolutely ,
indispensable to the processes of ani
mal life, the very quintessence, so to <
say, of existence. This, according to
the leurned professor, is one of the most
characteristic of the differences be
tween the male and the female, and the 1
one which recurs with the greatest ■
regularity. The practical conclusion 1 <
be drawn from it, concludes the Ger
man anatomist, cannot be too strongly
recommended to the attention of the
women and the men who are now at
the head of the movement the object of
which is to widen woman's sphere by
extending it to occupations and pro
fessions now confined to men. They
should, he added, be extremely careful
not to overstep the limits clearly laid
down by nature herself in the physica'
organization of the female.
THERMOMETER TESTS.
llow You Can Tell Whether Your neat
Marker 1B Kellahle or Not.
To tell whether a thermometer ac
curately does its work, invert the in
strument. If the mercury does not fall
to the end, or if it breaks into several
small columns, the thermometer con
tains air and is inaccurate. If perfect
made, the slender thread should fill the
tube, or should break off at the bulb
; and fall to the end of the tube.
There is another interesting fad
about thermometers. Nine persons
out of ten think the mercurial column
round, but that is not the case. Thr
thread of mercury in thermometers Is
flat. If it were round the column could
hardly be seen, for the opening of the
tube is as fine as the finest thread. Rome
eight or ten years ago a Boston manu
facturer introduced the scheme of coat
ing the back of the tube with white siz
ing. That makes the column of mer
cury stand out plain and distinct.
Thermometers are cheaper and bet
ter than ever before. You can now buy
a heat-marker for 25 cents, but a first
class instrument will cost you $2. A
cheap instrument Is like a cheap watch
—it is unreliable. The reason for this
is that a perfect thermometer has a
scale of its own. The cheap thermom
eter is made on guesswork. Hence,
you see a difference of two, three or five
degrees between thermometers in the
same locality on the same day.
The most sensitive heat-marker is the
radiometer, which was invented by r
Mr. Crookes. It consists of four arms
suspended on a steel pivot, rotating
like a miniature wind gauge, and the
whole affair is inclosed in a glass tube
from which the air has been exhausted.
The light |,of a candle one or two feet
ft way causes the arms to rotate. Quite
as sensitive is the thermopile, which is
used to detect the faint rays of heat
transmitted from the moon and stars
fo this cold world.
The Earth'* Gigantic Shallow.
The length of the shadow which the
earth casts intospacc has attracted some
1 attention since the eclipse of the moon.
, This shadow is in the form of a cone
with the diameter of the earth as its
1 base. It is 864,000 miles long. That
i is If you travel into space, away from the
i earth, more than three times as far as
> the moon, the shadow would still shield
you from the sun, provided you re
l mained on what muy be called the night
I side of the earth. The diameter of the
. sun is 866,000 miles, that of the earth
is 7.92G miles, and the distance from
the sun to the earth is 93,000,000 miles

The average wnlker wears away two
inches of shoe leather in a year. A
pair of boots that would "last a life
time" would, consequently, have to be
, provided with soles from eight to nine
t feet thick.

I 500 miles of underground wires, where
as there are now 13,000 utiles.
i HEAVY FAILiE!^
One of the largest clothing manufacturers in New York City failed recently for 106,000 dollars. Owing to a disagreement
among the creditors a, satisfactory settlement could not be made, so the goods were ordered sold at auction. Victor Morris,
auctioneer and commission merchant, of 5 and 7 White street, New York, conducted the sale, and through him we have se
cured a tremendously large quantity of first-class, stylishly-made goods at about one-third of their wholesale value. These
goods are all of the latest styles, having been made up for this season's Fall and Winter trade, and are of the finer grades of
cloth and the best workmanship. The purchase also includes a large line of fine piece goods, both for suitings and trouserings,
many of them being imported goods.
