when they try 10 force men on their ticket

reports come of men being put on the

they do not believe in the third party move

The Haudsomest Senator.
CLEVELAND Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
Senator Gray, who has taken Bayard's place
in the Senate, is one of the youngest men in the
Senate, and he is, perhaps, the handsomest He
is tall, straight man, with good frame. well
rounded, and an eye which sparkles with vitality.
He has iron in his blood, and his dark, regular
features have as rudy complexion as that Of
an Irish belle His forehead is broad and made
very high by the badness which seems
to be threatening him. His eyes
are soft, black, and liquid, with good
lashes and well-cut brows His long mustache
is black and silky, and his hair is glossy Jet
Senator Gray is forty four years old He has
been twice Attorney general of Delaware and
has very large practice and quite a lucrative
one. He was made senator on account Of his
great ability as a lawyer ind his personal popu-
larity rather than because Of his friendship for
Bayard, though he and 3ayard are friends and
have been 80 for years. Gray has supported
Bayard in his presidential ambitions, and he
has made speeches in his favor before the last
two national Democratic conventions.

New York sun.


A device has been brought forward for protect
ing water-pipes against freezing, the arrangement
being based upon the fact that water in motion
will remain liquid at a lower Temperature than
water at rest One end of a copper rod. placed
outside of the building, is secured to bracket,
and the other end is attached To one arm Of q
weighted elbow lever; to the other arm of the
lever is secured a rod, which passes
into the building aud operates a
valve in the water-pipe BY means Of
turn buckles. the length of the copper rod
can be adjusted so that before the temperature
reaches the point at which there would be dan
ger of the water in the pipes freezing the valve
will be opened to allow flow of water beyond
this point the valve opening will increase and
the flow become more rapid as the cold becomes
more intense, and as the temperature rises the
valve is closed. This plan sets up current in
the pipes, which replaces the water as it grows
cold by the warmer water from the main
Whether the valve be opened or closed the
service pipes are always in working order.

a monograph on Nell Gwynn, and is also a close
friend Of Ellen Terry says that he finds that the
two actresses, though dissimiar in some re-
spects, have {. great deal in common. He was,
indeed, induced to his literary undertaking by
being reminded of Charles It's favorite by his
observation of the popular Coincidence of the
day. He declares that the two are conspicuous
for warmth of heart, instructive generosity, quick
sympathy, lively humor, mercurial tempera-
ment, spontaneous benevolence and innate noble
ness. If he were believer in metaphysics he
would have no doubt that the Nellie of the Ly-
ceum had received the soul of the eccentric
Nellie of the seventeenth century. Those who
know Ellen Terry intimately admit that she is
not beautiful, and that she has any number OF
faults, and yet they consider her one of the most
charming Of women.
