This was particularly the case on last Wed nesday, when the new lieutenant gov ernor, J. P. Gobin. attempted in the most high handed way to rule joint convention in behalf of Quay. At the Democratic caucus, held that morning, it was decided to present a series of rules for governing the Joint convention. The anti-Quay Republican leaders had been Invited to discuss these rules, and had agreed to them, and guaranteed to stand by the Demo- • crats in securing their adoption. There was nothing particular in ihe rules, ev- j cept one which provided that there be I only one joint ballot for United States senator per day- This was distasteful to the Quay leaders, and they lal 1 their plans to defeat the adoption of the rules, and Lieutenant Governor Gobin was selected as the club. DIXON'S JOINT RULES. Accordingly when Representative Dixon, of Elk. the Democratic leader, offered these joint rules Gobin refused , to listen to them. He ruled then them i J out of order. Then Mr. Dixon appeal ed from his decision, seconded by Sen ator Fllnn, the anti-Quay leader. Bit again Gobin refused to listen to the 1 : appeal. Finally when a hurried attempt j j was made by the Quay men to adjourn , Gobin summarily dismissed the con vention, refusing to call the yeas and ; nays, as demanded by half the Demo ; crats on the floor and the anti-Quay Republicans. In an instant the house • was in an uproar. A protest meeting : was held, with Bliss. anti-Quay Repub- J llean of Delaware, as chairman, and j j Dixon. Democrat of Elk. as secretary, j A series of vigorous resolutions, de ; nouncing Gobin and his action, were 1 i framed. That day it was also decided that If in the future Gobin attempted i I anything more of the kind he would be j i dismissed from the chair. All Wednes- ( j day afternoon Hon. George A. Jenks, 1 Hon. John H. Fow and ex-Judge Gor i don, of Philadelphia, three of the ablest j | Democratic lawyers in this state, with j ex-Attorney General H. C. McCormick. i Republican, were in a Harrisburg law j , office examining the law as to Gobin's 1 right to preside over the joint conven i tion as lieutenant governor. It was i found that he had no right, nothing ] but courtesy and precedent permitting : him to so act. The protest was signed i by 139 senators and members, the ma jority of the legislature, all of them ! Democrats and anfl-Quay Republicans, ! with perhaps half dozen Quay men who became disgusted with the action ; of their party. DEMOCRATS STAND FAST. The Democrats are In excellent shape. During the past week Colonel J. M. Guffey, the brilliant and active Demo- I cratic leader, left his great business in Pittsburg and came on to Harrls ' burg to look after the fight in person. Hon. George A. Jenks, candidate for I United States senator, spent part of the week here. From Philadelphia | en me ex-Judge James G. Gordon, whose | sterling Democracy has earned him ; the eternal enmity of the Quay ina- I chine. D. A. Orr. editor of the Harris | burg Patriot, ex-Postmaster John It. Larkin, of Pittsburg. ex-County Chair man W. J. Brennan. of Allegheny. ex- Congressman Howard Mutchler, P. Gray Meek, Colonel "Jack" Spangler and other leading Democrats of the state ; have been in constant attendance, : watching the progress of events. D°- splte the fact that these men were here directing tlie fight in person the Quay men did not hesitate to attempt all sorts of lying schemes to create fric tion between anti-Quay Republican* and the solid Democratic phalanx, i Their most popular mehod was to start the story that certain members In certain Democratic delegations were wavering, and that on such a day these men would break away from the : Democratic line. The story would then , ! be clruculated as coming from the Wanamaker headquarters. Every false hood of this kind was alleged to come ; from the anti-Quay Republican rooms in the Commonwealth hotel, but thoh frequency and persistency soon re- I vealed their real character. Senator ; Flinn and General Koontz repeatedly 1 and vigorously denied that any such | statements had come from them, but on the contrary they had discovered I that these reports were circulated by I Quay's lieutenants. The object undoubtedly was to create friction between the Ilepub'.i --| cans who are fighting Quay and the 1 Democrats who are also Fighting him. There was another reason perhaps more important than this, and that is that the Quay men are compelled to make some such assertions to keep their lines straight. It is well known that there are at least ten men voting for Quay who are ready to break away from him whenever an opportunity pre sents. ELK IN IS CONFIRMED. John P. Elkin was confirmed *n th • senate last week as the attorney gen eral of Governor Stone's cabinet. His ! confirmation was made possible by the help of four Democratic senators, viz: Boyd of Fayette, Haines of xork. Nee iy of Clarion and Stiles of Lehigh. Even then Llkin. one of the indemnity bond signers, and a man who has been denounced for that action by Dcmo i Irats and Republicans for two years, r.ad only one vote to spare In the sen ate. Not In a quarter of a century has any senator been subjected to such de nunciation as these four Democrats, i In Stiles' district they held a mass meeting in Allentown and denounced 1 him for betraying his constituents and his party. In Boyd's district, in Fayette and Green counties, the utmost indig nation prevails. Congressman-elect Mali came up from Washington and gave Neeiy, the senator from Clarion, a piece of his mind In a vigorous way. All of these men have been receiving letters from their constituents, ham j mering them unmercifully for their be trayal of the people in giving aid to the I Quay machine and the Stone adminis j tratlon. Speaker Farr, of the house, is the latest gold brick salesman. There is no doubt that he has sold tHe anti-Quay Republicans a large and shining gold brick. Farr was Senator Martln'H choice for speaker as against the Quay selection. Martin had the assurance that Farr would take care of the anti- Quay interests in at least a measurable fashion. This implied that the Demo crats would be looked after to some considerable extent. Instead of that, Farr has made his appointments and has not only given the Democrats a very cold deal, but he has also thrown down the anti-Quay Republicans and the Martin men. The insurgent Re publicans are Incensed against Farr. He has filled up the unimportant com mittees with anti-Quay Republicans and given the best that the house af forded to the Quay people. As for the Democrats, they have gotten the worst of it all the way through, and although they have protested it does no good. MEMBERS MUST BE PAIRED. Under the rules offered by Repre sentative Dixon, of Elk, in the Joint as sembly, pairs are now being arranged for regularly. Hereafter no man need be recorded as absent and not voting on the senatorship without being paired. Every man who is absent with out being paired places himself under suspicion, whether he be anti-Quay Re publican or Democrat. The curious feature of a pair arranged by telegraph was that in the case of Brophy. Demo , < rat. of Pittsburg, and Harrold, Re -1 publican, of Beaver. Constituents are watching the members of the legisla ture very closely, now, and the man who is absent must either be paired or else run the gauntlet of every adverse criticism and have the finger of sus picion pointed at him. The coming week promises to be un eventful. The voting will likely go on the same as usual. Quay has not gotten within 12 votes of a majority. He will not be able to do any better than this during the coming week. His vote on Wednesday was 13 short of a majority, on Thursday 14. on Friday 13 and on Saturday 12. The coming week will doubtless see no change, but there will be doubtless a repetition of lying re- : ports about the Democratic forces and their leaders.

Bear, th, He Kind You Have Always Bought RED HAIR IN HISTORY- Sir Walter and Mlvhalat Disagreed About l'iihappy Mary's. The exact tint of the Scottish Queen's hair has always been a vexed subject of discussion. Some give It an unmitigated red. Michelet, for In stance, who so far forgets himself and history as to call the poor lady a great red camel: others, siding with chtval orous Sir Walter, boldly endow their martyred Queen and mistress with rich dark brown tresses. It should not be forgotten, however, that red hair, even modest auburn, suffered a severe eclipse during the early years of our century, whereas, under the Valois, no one with any pretensions to elegance could be seen wearing It black. In this particular, at least, Mary Stuart must have had the advantage of Queen Margot, who inherited her father's dark coloring, and was reduced to dis semble nature's shortcomings by the perruquier's art. We are told of three gigantic blond lackeys, kept in her service, and brought to the shears as regularly as sheep. Brantome, indeed, protests that his incomparable Princess could carry with grace "even her natural black hair twisted and plaited a l'Espagnol, as she sometimes wore It, in imitation of her sister, the Queen of Spain." But no such need of insistence one feels when he comes to praise the curled golden tresses of the Scottish Queen. "Alas!" he cries, "what profanation was that at the dreadful moment of her death, when the barbarous executioner snatched her bonnet, and there lay re vealed those same fair locks, now whitened, thin and wintry, and which her friends of France had so often seen but to admire, curled and adorned as beflttted their beauty and the Queen they graced." The Mail Tree of TallaiisaHa. In the forest of Tallangatta is a tree known in the district as the "Man Tree," on account of the extraordinary formation taken by a portion of the old trunk in its process of decay. Owing to the elevated position of this remark able natural curiosity, the "statue" TUS MAN Tats, stands out in startiingly bold relief as sne of the last and most curious relics of the primeval Australian forest, which in that district consisted chiefly of gigantic gum trees. Woe of I'nrla. Parisians say that their beloved city is being ruined by the automobile fad, which is ten times worse than the bi cycling fever ever dared to be. Luck ily there are not so many automobiles as bicycles, for they are expensive. The sights, sounds and smells resulting from (he carriages propelled by petro leum are driving people from the bou levards. Half an hour after an automobile has passed traces of petroleum linger in the air. The beauty of it is that the drivers of the vehicle cannot smell it—it inflicts itself only on the passers by. Some stunning toilets are to be seen on the pretty women who have desert ed their bicycles for the automobile. Sometimes the carriages are uphol stered to match madame's favorite gown—in gray or crimson broadcloth, with parasol tops and soft cushions fer dainty shoes. The fact that she has to guide her carriage successfully before a critical judge, who passes on her pro ficiency in the art before she can get a license to wheel wherever she will, has no effect on madame's determina tion to join the merry throng on the boulevards.

The quan tity of pure water which blood contains in its natural state is very great; it amounts to almost seven-eighths. The blood is a fifth of the weight of one body. A man is taller in the morning than at night to the extent of half an inch or more, owing to the relaxation 'of the cartilages. The human brain is the twenty-eighth part of the body, but in the horse the brain is not more than the four hundredth. I.lKh(<*l lly n Mirror. The lighthouse on Arnish Rock, in the Hebrides, is about 500 feet from the shore. To avoid having an attendant on the rock, the light is produced on the shore and projected across the wa ter upon a mirrow in the lighthouse, the mirror reflecting the light in the desired direction. A ( nrloan Fad. It is an inexplicable fact that men I buried in an avalanche of snow hear i distinctly every word uttered by those who are seeking for them, while their j most strenuous shouts fall to penetrate even a few feet of snow. Ececntrlrtty. An eccentric man is one who has money enough to keep people from ' railing him a crank ONLY HALF A MAN. "If you wers half a man!" That was the phrase to which Harry Marlowe's ears have grown accustomed of late. Just now his wife, Rose Marlowe, waa exclaiming sharply, "If you were half a man you wouldn't allow your wife to spade the garden whie you sat idling on the pier." Theirs had seemed such a suitable marriage, six years ago; both young, healthy and handsome, they appeared Sen to have a fair prospect before em. Harry was the soul of good na re, and Rose, though quick tempered, had the tenderest heart in the world and a courage and uprightness that made no compromises. One day when Rose was chopping wood for the stove the ax slipped and her foot was badly cut. She hobbled into the house and bound up the wound; but It was several hours before Harry returned from his Idle saunter ings, and by that time she was faint from pain and losp of blood. Dr. Sansum came and dressed the wound. "How did you manage to give yourself such a gash?" he asked. "It was—Just a* accident," stam mered proud Rose "Humph!" responded the doctor, with an intonation that made Harry redden. Then, with a few additional words of caution to Rose, ho left the cottage, contemptuously ignoring her husband. It seemed as if lor once Harry was started out of his cloth. He tended Rose with the lit nost care, set the house in order —clumsily. It Is true, but assiduously—cooked the meals after a slapdash masculine fashion and, in short, did all in l.is power to repair his neglect. in his new found zeal Harry made a trip to a neighboring city in search of permanent employment. On his re turn his first words were; 'Good luck! I've got a ateady job at last," as though all the years of his married life he had been spent in that quest. "What sort of a job is It?" asked Rose. "Fireman on an engine." "But —isn't that rather hard work?" asked Rose, who had learned to doubt his staying quality. "Hard!" cried Harry, and he squared his broad shouldtrs and looked as bright and manly as in the old days. "Ain't I as strong as an ox?" Rose's face was a rainbow of tears and smiles. "Forgive me, Harry, for doubting you,"she said, half sobbing, half laughing. He was little at home after he began his new work; but there were no cut ing words, no looks that stabbed with scorn. Rose sang over her work and smiles came readily to her lips that had grown so stern and cold. What did it matter that they were poor—that their lot was now that of mere labor ing folk? She could respect her hus band once more. One evening as Rose was getting Harry's supper ready she heard a step on the porch and ran out to meet him. Two men were standing there. "What is It?" she cried, feeling an Instant apprehension of misfortune. They looked at each other and shuf fled their feet awkwardly. "Is my husband dead?" she asked in a dull voice. "No, ma'am," replied one of the men finding his voice, "but badly hurt There was a collision near Benton and we came to tell you about it." When Rose reached Harry he was lying Insensible. Both of his legs, hopelessly crushed, had been amputa ted, and his bruised and bandaged face was hardly recognizable. Presently he was able to press her hand feebly, tus Indicating conscious ness of her presence. "I'm half a man' now, Rose, In good earnest," he whiepered one day with a melancholy sm-ile." "O, Harry—don't!" sobbed Rose, "only forgive me for all those hard words." "They were deserved, Rose—that's the worst." Little by little, with many pauses and In a weak voice that often sank into a whisper he told her of the colli sion, the result of a train dispatcher's mistake. Te engineer saw the danger at a glance, became panic-stricken and jumped—only to be killed by the fall. "I was going to Jump, too," said Harry, "but when I said to myself. No, I'll play the man for once.' I did what the engineer should have done— pulled the reverse lever and put on the air brakes —to lessen the shock, if pos sible. But it was of no use —and you know the rest." "Well, dear," he said o few minutes later, "when it's all over you can go back to your people and forget about the dreary life I've led you. I've been a poor excuse for a man all along. I realize that now." "You shall not wrong yourself so," said Rose. "You had the heart of a hero in you, and when the opportunity came you sowed your courage," He smiled—a strange, wistful, pity ing Bmlle. "Let her have the illusion, at least, after I'm gone," he thought. "You shall not die, ' cried Rose, rais ing one little toil-marked hand, as If to register an oath. "You shall live, Harry—you must live. 1 will work for you. You nnißt not leave me." And he did not die. "That little woman Just wouldn't let him go," said the doctor. Influence was exerted to secure for Rose the appointment of postmistress In tne little town. This insured them a support; and there were many ways In which Rose eked out their slender Incense. Harry was licensed now to be Idle, and no one reproaches him for It. He was a "helpless hulk," as he expressed It, but the best natured, most patient hulk In the world.
