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-

A Fatal Diamond.
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.—

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.
