Every Democrat in the Legislaturo Pledged to Oppose the Re election of the Se nior Senator. Democrats Resent the Claims of the Quay Managers That the Votea of Democrats Can Be Purchased. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 10. J The devotees of the lost cause arc ' leaving: nothing: undone to restore the public to the notion that Quay caftnot 1 I be beaten. Much of the strength of I the "old man" heretofore has been in the belief that in some way he could rise above all apparent or preliminary defeats and in the end achieve thi full victory for which he contended. This too prevalent fancy received its severest blow on Tuesday night by the break down of his caucus. The in genuity of his followers is now bein.T exercised to stimulate the weak to be lieve that this signal failure was all the time anticipated by Quay; that what appears to others a fatal disaster is only a seeming defeat skillfully ar ranged for in advance to make more secure the linal decisive victory. QUAY'S FALLING STAR. There is in all this nothing but au dacious bluff and falsehood. Senator Quay's star is a falling one. The cau ?us vote of last Tuesday night startled it from its orbit. When Cromwell was returned to the parliament of Charles I by the majority of one vote his an tagonist, Cleaveland, the poet, exclaim ed: "That vote hath ruined both church and kingdom." "That vote," we may truly say, when referring to Tuesday's caucus, "hath ended both Quay and Quay's dynasty." The in dependents have the votes to prevent his election, and by union with the Democrats they also have the votes to name his successor. The act of 1567 explicitly declares "a majority of all the votes of the said joint assembly" shall be necessary for an election, "a majority of all the mem bers elected to both houses being pres ent and voting." This confers upon the opponents of Quay the power to break the quorum and prevent the election of any one, if they so desire, by simple abstention from voting. While It might not be necessary to resort to anything so drastic as this, it is clear that the enemies of Mr. Quay have the key to the situation. That in the extremist emergency, failing themselves to unite ! upon a candidate, they can absolutely stop Mr. Quay's own election. TO BUY UP DEMOCRATS. The claim of the Quay people that hi*: victory will be won by the aid of pur chased Democratic votes Is another outrageously false assertion. But it is none the less boldly declared, the ma chine hands in some instances going so far as to give names. Within the past i few days a memorandum secured from one of the Quay managers gave the names of Democratc members from whom it Is claimed votes can be drawn for Quay. If this list had any stamp of truth upon it it would not here be given to the public, but lis makeup is so palpably false that it is presented to show to what lengths I these desperate men are going to alarm, intimidate or discourage bolting Re publicans. The Quay list of hoped for Democrats is as follows: Duttera and Cole of Ad ams county. Spatz and Naftzlnger of Berks, Craig of Carbon, Chrisman of Columbia, Keegan of Fayette, Timlin | of Lackawanna, Krumlich, Roth and Moyer of Lehigh, Thompson of Wayne, I Kayler and Shutt of York, j Those acquainted with these gentle men. or with a single one of them, | must know that there can he no pos ! slble excuse for a suggestion that ar.y ' one will fail in the performance of l.'s duty to his party and to his state. HIGH CLASS DEMOCRATS. The Democratic members of this leg islature are with few exceptions men ct experience In affairs and the average is very much better than that of many years past. That the members of the lower house are, to a man, resolute and unflinching in the cause of good gov ernment was shown by the frank and unanimous proposition made by them to the independent Republicans look ing to fusion on the speakership. It will be remembered that although the mem bers of the lower branch had not all been convened together before, in lees I than an hour, and with little discus j sion, except as to minor details, an agreement was reached whereby every member pledged himself to join in fu sion for house organization. There was no haggling for prospective spoils on the part of any individual: no backing and filling to gain points for selfish ends, but all heartily united in a com mon purpose, which, if gained, could result only in good to the common wealth. It is quite as certain that ail (members of both houses) will as cor dially unite for the success of the op position to Quay upon such a union as may seem to assure the best results for . the state. The extraordinary responsibility whicn Is made to rest upon the Democratic legislators by the peculiar Republican situation is fully appreciated by each one. So, too, the prominent Demo crats of the state, and especially such as are entitled to certain degrees of leadership, recognize the gravity of existing party and public conditions. Indeed, it is doubtful if there has been In recent years any such unanimity of purpose as now exists among the Dem ocrats to accomplish an important end BS that which accompanies every move l ment to clinch the victory against ! Quay, the first steps of which were won I by the independent revolt from caucus bossism. START OF ONE MILLIONAIRE Earned 111. First MID Throwing a Cirous Hercules. "Had I caught my train that night," laughed the man who had nothing to do for a quarter of a century but sit and watch pine trees grow to swell his bank account, "I would probably be a farmer now, trying to raise a mort j gage and a few other things. I had ! gone to a little town in lower Wiscon sin to see a colt there that a man want- I ed to sell me. I was a good judge of t stock and shrewd on a trade, but a | greener country lad never broke into j a town. I would have walked back to the farm after I found myself too late I for the train, but I saw a handbill an nouncing a show that night, and ' couldn't resist the temptation to see it, though it did cost a quarter. "In my hilarious appreciation I was more of an entertainment than they had on the stage, especially as I was utterly oblivious to the fact that I did not look like any one else in the au dience. Toward the end a huge fellow came out, tossed cannon balls in the air, and held men out at arm's length, and lifted heavy welgths. After this showing of his prowess he offered $lO to any one whom he could not throw inside of two ffiinutes. I was the crack wrestler in all our section, though none present knew it, and I felt as though the challenge was aimed directly at me. I turned hot and cold during a few sec onds of intense silence. Then I sprang up, and as I came out of my old blouse, shouted: 'l'll go you, b'gosh.' There was a roar of laughter and then some of those about me urged me not to go up there and have my neck broken. But one old man told me to go in. It was a tough job, but I finally threw the giant almost through the floor with a hip lock. There was a little hesitancy about giving me the $lO, but the crowd shouted till I got it. Then the old man took me home with him, and in a week I had charge of all the teams in his lumber camps. In time I became a partner, and he cleared the way to make me rich. That was really a match lor a million." A Bullet's Air Wave,. This is a photograph of the hyper bolic air-wave in front of a flying bul let. The head wave appears white in a grayish field, from which a sharp black A HUT.LKT'S AIH-WAYBS. line separates it. The bright and dark bands Intermediating between the head wave and the tail wave are the rays of the previous less distinct figures and mark rows of greater or less density. Gulnen I'lirs uml It lit,. The hundreds of people who see queer little animals called guinea pigs in the show windows of bird stores know that they are of any use except for pets. It is said that rats will not stay in the same building with guinea pigs and for that reason they are in great demand by chicken raisers, who usually suffer by having "peeps" carried off by rodents. Besides this the animals cost absolutely nothing to keep, as they will eat anything and everything and seem to thrive on nothing but grass. They are very prolific. One pair will rear a dozen young every year. German Cyclist*. i It is estimated that there are 3,120,- 000 cyclists in Germany, each one of whom had to pay a tax of 50 ceflts to have his name entered and to receive a number for his machine, together with, a book, which he must carry about him, as it contains a description of his person. Scale of Animal Voice,. According to a musical authority, the mooing of a cow is set to a perfect fifth, octave or tenth; the bark of a dog to a fouth or fifth; the neighing of a horse is a perfect octave. Yet it is thought that the quality of the donkey's voice might he improved. A Hare Cook.

The Melancholy Man Kelatefl His Experi ence and Hollavea They Are Great. "Went to a church picnic the other day," laconically remarked the Melan choly Man as he kept the long cigar he had borrowed for a light and gave back bis stub. "Great things, all fresco Jollifications, you know—intended to heal old sores — wipe out cliques—restore all that love and-charity-to-your -neighbor feeling, and generally weld a congregation to gether. Fine time we had! Jones left the imprint of his new firteen-dollar trousers on Mrs. Smith's big huckleber ry pie that she'd had a lot of trouble making; Charlie Johnson spilled cofTee all over May Brown's fine white silk waist; young Bobbie Bates capsized the "boat with two deacons and their wives in it; nobody asked Birdie Scroggs to sing or Lily Mudd to play the guitar; old Crusty caught the preacher kissing his wife; Binks had his mouth stained a rich, durable ebon because little Per cy Pawpaw had put ink in the black berry pie, and Mrs. Pawpaw reared up at his daring to whip her boy and everybody took sides and—oh well, never mind the rest. "Such a disreputable, frowsy lot you never saw when they finally started for home, and what was worse not a single soul on speaking terms with any other soul. They tell me now that the church is split into as many factions as there are families. "Yep, great things these church pic nics! Heal old sores, wipe out cliques and weld everything harmoniously to gether. Yep, great things!" The Matter of Allowance. "My dear," whispered the young man, "as we are so soon to be married, we should take a practical view of life, and profit by the mistakes of others. For instance, there is the subject of a regular allowance every week for spending money, you know." . "Oh, I've thought of that," she re plied sweetly. "Have you?" "Yes, indeed. Hundreds and hundreds of times, and lately I haven't thought of much else." "Eh!" "Yes. Your income iB $2,000, isn't it?" "Yes, and I want it to go as far as possible toward your happiness." "Of course. Well, I've talked it over with mamma, and she thinks an allow ance of $1 a week will be plenty." "Oh, yes. You can walk to the ofllce, you know, and carry your lunch, you know, and so you can use the whole dollar for cigars and neckties and things." Health Before Beauty. Two Irishmen who had not met for years ran across each other in Derby, and, after a period of handshaking, ad journed for some moist congratula tions. "Long time since we met, Pat, isn't it? Great lot of things have happened since then." "Yes, indeed. Look at mesilf. Sure, it's tnarried I am," replied Pat. "You don't tell me?" "Faith, and Oi've got a fine healthy bhoy, and the neighbors says he is the very picture of me." O'Grady looked at Pat, who wasn't built on the lines of a prize beauty. "Och, well, what's the harrum so long as the child's healthy." Broke In Klondike. It's a long way to the Klondike, where the air is full of freeze, Where the summer's full of 'skeeters as a kitten is of fleas; You're winner if you strike it, but if you don't you're stuck, And tough luck in the Klondike is the toughest kind of luck. And it's well this to remember, ere you start out on the track. That when you're broke in Klondike— why You can't Walk Back. The Gun hl uk Maiden and the Youth. "What soulful eyes you have," she said to the innocent youth. "Have I?" he smilingly asked. "Yes," she murmured in her gush ing way. "Especially the left one. I could look into its liquid depths for hours." "I might leave it with you over Sun day," said the youth, "it's glass!" Hla Advantage, "There's one thing about me that I like," said the star boarder. "Only one?" exclaimed the little stenographer with the blonde hair. "Well, one thing in particular, and that is the color of my mustache. Since it is red. you see, I can eat soft boiled eggs and still not feel ill at ease when I appear upon the street." Keep* Him Htintllnii;. "What do you think of the bicycle craze?" "Great thing! I never took so much exercise before in all my life." "Why, I didn't know that you were riding." "I am not, but I have to cross the street once in a while.". Hla Term For It. "And so it is all over between you and Miss Rocksley?" "Yes; I went to see her father about It day before yesterday and he mus tered me out with a cane that weighed about ten pounds." War Revenue. Rural Raggers—Say, Tatts, do you .think it's right to raise the price of beer? Tramping Tatters —I've been trying ' to raise the price of one fer a week. lIWjSCHOLDI Tell the Cook. That beefsteak broiled without salt is much more Juicy and tender. It may be seasoned with salt, pepper and butter when ready to serve. That a little boiled rice or corn left from dinner can be made into most excellent fritters by the addition of an egg or two, a little baking powder and flour to make a stiff batter; then fry in hot lard. That rancid butter boiled in water with a pinch of charcoal will lose its rancid odor and taste and may be used for cooking purposes. That musty cofTee or tea pots may be cleaned and sweetened by putting in a tablespoonful of wood ashes and filling with cold water; then set over the fire and boil, and after a thorough washing and rinsing they will be as good as new. That broken bits of bread should not be allowed to accumulate, as they can be fried or served as cream toast when too large to be put in with the crumbs for powdering; beat up an egg or two with a little milk, dip the sliced bread in this and fry slightly in good hot drippings, or toast, dip in hot water, butter slightly and cover with white sauce.

Ten rings are sewn on the bag OPERA GLASS BAG. ibout an inch above the embroidery ind pale pink satin ribbon is run hrough these both ways so that the ;nds will draw up the bag. A Cold Cream Jar. Our grandmothers excelled us in lainty trifles. One of the prettiest irnaments on the dresser was an egg. At first sight it looked exactly like an ;gg from the pantry, for the shell was jnpainted. Only as you looked at it rou saw that one end was broken. This eggshell was used as a cold cream |ar. When making cold cream our grandmothers would pour it into an empty shell which had been carefully prepared. After the egg was taken out the shell had been washed and sweet ened with perfumery with a few drops left in the bottom. The cold cream was poured In and was left to harden. Tho result was a very nice eggshell full of lovely white cosmetic. Try this tor yourself. Grease Spot, on Hooka.
