DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATION The Meaning of the Rule Followed By Chairman Creasy In Determining Number of Delegates. Harrisburg Star-Independent. Whatever else the Philadelphia Democrats may justly claim, their de mand for 60 seats in the next state convention is absurd. Anybody with an ounce of brains knows that the representation must be based either on the combined vote cast for Yerkes and Coray on all tickets upon which their names appeared, or else the vote cast for them as the Democratic candidates in the Democratic column. There might be a possibility of jus tifying an interpretation of the law in favor of taking the combined vote, but there is no ground whatever for ; claiming 60 delegates. The language of the rule is clear and unequivocal. "The representation in Democratic state conventions shall consist of representative delegates, one for each 1,000, or a majority frac- j Hon of 1,000, of the average vote cast for the Democratic candidates for stat** office at the last preceding state election in the respective representa tive districts of the state; provided, that each representative district shall have at least one delegate." If the language was less clear there might be an excuse for differences of opin ion. If. lor example, it read "one for each 1,000, or majority fraction of 1.000 votes cast for the candidates nominated by the Democratic party," there would be room for doubt. But it is plainly "the Democratic candi dates," impersonal, and the Demo rratic candidates are those in the Democratic column on the ticket. Besides, the intent of those who made the rule in question, was that it should produce the precise results that have followed. That is, it was ob served that once in four years the Democrats of Philadelphia humped themselves, so to speak, and got out a fairly full vote in order to get big representation in the state conven tions. During the intervening years they didn't care whether the vote came or not, the representation having been fixed for a time on a basis that secured them dominance in the con vention. The rule was presented for the purpose of preventing such a manifest injustice, and the fact was distinctly stated while the measure was pending in the state central com mittee. It was pointed out that it held out a reward for energy and fidelity and imposed a penalty for treachery and lethargy, and for that reason it was adopted. The lawyer upon whose opinion the decision of Chairman Creasy is pre dicted is known throughout the state and at the bar of the supreme court of the United States as among the most distinguished and capable law yers in the United States. A Philadel phia lawyer is quoted in one of the papers of that city this morning as saying that the lawyer in question was probably not broad-minded enough to correctly interpret the rule. If the two names were mentioned together the Philadelphia lawyer would "get the laugh." A Ilettlutc Craze la Italy. A spirit of gambling has broken out in the court of Italy, anil the courtiers are laying their wagers recklessly upon the question as to whether the young Princess Yolanda will speak first in English or in Italian. The princess now has reached the age of seven months and already has made sounds which are declared to be "papa" and "mam ma." The English nurse declares that she taught the child to say them, but the Italian nurse indignantly denies this, declaring that to her is due the credit, for if the princess bad learned from the English nurse she would say the words in English, whereas she says them in Italian, the poor woman not knowing that "papa" and "mamma" are the same In all languages. So as these words are universal it has been decided that tliey do not de cide the wagers as to which will be die first language to be spoken by little Yolanda. The betting is even, for, though the English nurse has the child almost entirely under her care, the language which she hears spoken about her all the time is Italian. Large sums have been wagered, and the de cision Is awaited with much interest. If Yolanda wants to make herself pop ular. she had better lisp her first words Jn Italian. There will be a mighty dis gust throughout Italy should she de tide in fa vol* of English. THE THORNDIKE DIAMONDS Presented ly Egypt's Kliedlve to General Sherman. The most interesting diamonds in Boston belong to Mrs. Tliorndlke, daughter of the late General W. T. Sherman and long a favorite in diplo matic society at Washington. The gen eral was greatly admired by the klie dlve of Egypt. When Mrs. Thorndike's sister, Minnie Sherman, was married to Lieutenant T. W. Fitch, his majesty, desirous of expressing his friendship for the old warrior, selected from his treasury diamonds valued at $200,000, had them set as a neckluce and sent the gorgeous ornament to the bride. But an unfeeling United States cus toms department fell upon the wedding gift and held it for a ransom of $20,- 000, the amount of the legal 10 per cent duty. Here was a pretty how d'you do, for neither the bridegroom nor the general could scrape together the sum demanded. The bride wept, the newspapers gossiped and the hus band grew pale with mortification. But there was naturally a sympathetic feel ing on the part of every American wo man at the thought of a poverty strick en bride unable to gaze upon $200,000 in diamonds that actually belonged to her. A public subscription was started, then the national government became Interested, and finally congress stepped In and, goaded to chivalrous rescue by its wives and daughters, remitted the duty by special enactment. Can you not imagine the rejoicings of the Fitches and Shermans when the splendid gems were at Inst placed on the beautiful neck for which they were intended and the pride with which their owner allowed them to be placed for safe keeping in the United States treasury? But you certainly cannot Imagine her horror when a greut, ugly brute of a tax collector from some Pennsylvania county in which she lived sauntered in and demanded an annual tax more than equaling the lieutenant's salary for an entire year! That settled it. There was nothing to do but send the white elephant back to the kliedlve. Conceive the mental condition of an American woman oblig ed to give up one-lifth of a million dol lars in diamonds! But, if you will be lieve me, she couldn t get rid of them even in this way. Back they came by return mall or something of that sort, with a letter from ids Egyptian majes ty suggesting that the necklace be taken apart and the diamonds divided among General Sherman's four daugh ters, delicately insinuating that thus the burden of taxation would not be so heavily felt. And that is how Mrs. Thorndike happens to own one-fourth of them.—Frank S. Arnett in Ainslee's. "Koeln" or "Coelnf" The Germun city which we know by Its French name, Cologne, is in a state of great excitement over the orthogra phy of its German name. Should it be spelled with a Iv or a C—"Koeln" or "Coeln?" The municipal authorities recently concluded that it was high time to set tle the matter. In their own opinion Koeln is the proper form, historically correct and in accordance with the ! "genius of the language." They deter mined, however, to refer the matter to the general government, and this agreed with them. So far all was har mony and peace. But when it came to confirming the unanimous decision by an imperial edict the lmperiul will had to be reck- JAST H, MONTGOMERY, M. D. In a Carefully Prepared Arti cle Recommends Dr. D.

There is a 200 carat South African diamond once in the possession of Mr. Kruger and now believed to be in the coffers of the Vatican. This stone belonged first to Mcshcsh, a Basil to chief, from whom it was ex torted by that blood stained tyrant T'Chaka, king of the Zulus. His broth er killed T'Chaka and stole the stone, but he, too, met a bloody end a few ' months later, and the natives say that j no less than sixteen of its successive possessors were killed or {[riven out for the sake of the gem. It then was seen by white men, who tried to take it by force. A savage tight ensued, in which 300 lives were lost, and at the end of it the stone was gone. Mcmela, a minor chief, had taken it and concealed it in a wound he had re ceived during the battle. Afterward Memela was caught by Boers and made a slave. Kruger released him, and the man in gratitude gave him the jewel which had cost so many lives.— ; Baltimore American. CASTOH.IA. Boars the ,0 Thß Kind Vou Havo Always Bought SOME QUEER SPIDERS. An 01<1 Collection That Ilns Recently Been Acaulred by Harvard. An interesting collection of New England spiders has recenl add ed to the Museum cf Comparative Zo ology at Harvard, including altogether 344 distinct species. Of these no less than 174 are "new to science," and Mr. J. 11. Enierton, who made the collec tion, believes that many others are yet to be found, although New England has been covered by the entomologists more thoroughly in all probability than any other part of the country. The list of the larger species is probably complete, but the smaller ones are so difficult to collect that a single new specimen often remains for a long time in a class by itself. The habits of some of these spiders are curious and little known. One fam ily represented in the Harvard collec tion do not make webs at all, but live under stones and leaves, where they build themselves nests like flattened tubes. The grass spiders, whose wel>B are visible 011 lawns and Acids during tin* early morning hours, are found ail over the United States. Their web consists of a flat sheet connecting sev eral grass blades. On one side is a tube where the spider usually hides himself and by which he may escape If attack ! ed. The web Itself docs not actually ! catch other insects, but is simply a | platform, which offers them a danger ously convenient stopping place, the ! spider then depending upon his own agility to seize them. Moreover, the webs ordinarily seen are only tempora ry. The spider's real home, often a foot or more wide, is built between stones or shrubs. Other spiders live on plants which they closely resemble In color. One common species makes a little tent in the center of its web. Another hangs by its feet at the approach of danger and spins its body in a little circle so rapidly that it becomes in visible.
