HOW is THIS2
Hon. Daniel L. Russell Declines the
Nomination for Supreme Court
Judge on the Republican State
Ticket-He Suggests
ICoaktio With the
Prohibitionists.
Wilmington Star. |


Hon. D. l.. Russell, in conversation
Yesterday with representative OF the
Star, said that he had no hesitation in
saying that he will decline to accept
the nomination for Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court on the Repub
lican State ticket; and, furthermore,
that in his letter of declination he will
advise the withdrawal of the entire
State ticket, and that coalition be
formed with the Frahibitionists.
He gave it as his opinion, that it
would be futile for the Republican
party to make 4 campaign in this
State, and that the approaching cleo
ton will be a walk-over for the Dem
ocrats. "In the first place." he said,
"they (the Republicans cannot win ;
and in the second, if they could, they
would be counted out" He thinks
that if 4 coalition is formed with the
Prohibtionists it will break the color
line and in this way, perhaps, lead to
Republican success hereafter. "But,
he added, "if a Chinese gong cam
paign is inaugurated, with joint dis
cussions between Fowle and Dockery,
it will result, probably, IN 4 majority
of 40, 900 for the Democratic ticket.
Judge Russell was one OF the dele,
gates from this State 10 the Chicago
Convention, was I member OF the
Committee on Credentials OF that
body and, it will be remembered, had
an animated discussion with John )
Wise of Virginia, on the status of The
delegation from that State. He is ar
astute and sagacious politician anc
one of the most influential members o.
the Republican party in this State. and
there: can 'be no question that 'h'
stand he has taken in this matter wil
have great weight with his party.

Railroads OF Indian Territory.

There are 10000 Cherokees, 5000
Choctaws, 5000 Chickasaws, and from
1000 to 5000 Seminoles in the territory.
The Creeks number 5000 to 10, 900 souls,
but il is thought about half of these are
negroes. Owing to prejudice among the
Cherokees and Choctaws there are fewer
negroes in those nations. The territory
has more railroads than any who have
not studied the subject would believe.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe route
runs a line from Arkansas City to
Gainesville straight through the middle
Of the territory. The Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, part of Gould's Missouri Pa
cific line, runs through the northeast cor
ner, through the Cherokee, Creek, Choc-
taw, and part of the Chickasaw nations.
There is a fifty mile bit of road from
Fort Smith, Ark, to Moskogee, in the
Creek nation, entirely traversing the
Cherokee country. The Atlantic and
Pacific road has got the right of way,
and has made its survey straight across
the territory. A branch of the Rock
Island system crosses the territory, and
o branch of the Southern Kansas route
runs across the northeast corner. dag
onally across the state is projected the
Dennison and Wachita Valley road, part
OF the Frisco system.-New York Sun.

Longevity of Our Race,

The biologist, Bichat, whose intuitions
so marvelously anticipated the conclu-
sions Of a later science, held that the
normal longevity Of our race should
be ar average Of 90 years, bearing his
inference on the fact that the life term
Of all known mammals exceeds at least
six times the period OF their growth. A
dog, growing for three years, may live
TO IS or 20. A horse, growing for four
or five, a~ttains, and often exceeds, ar age
of 30 years. A camel, growing twice as
slowly, may live TO 40 years and upward.
An elephant, even in captivity, does not
attain lis full growth before its 18th
year, and in India often outlives two
masters. Some Of the larger quadru-
mana likewise grow very slowly; several
varieties Of balloons, for instance, do not
acquire the characteristics OF maturity
before the beginning Of their teens; and
the naturalist Brehm, mentions a male
chacma, who, after becoming the patri-
arch Of his tribe, raided the durra fields
Of the Zulu villages for nearly thirty
years before he met his Waterloo In q
fight with the outraged natives. The
males Of our own species grow for at
least sixteen years, but less than one
third reach even the threefold multiple
Of that age, and hardly n in 800 the
normal sixfold.-Dr. Felix L. Oswald In
The Forum.

The History of One.

"Five or six years ago that woman
was a great belle, said my neighbor, as
the door closed on the shocking example
of Restricting.
''She came her, for the first time the
morning after the great - ball. She
looked tired, ami I didn't wonder. My
brother, who was out late the night be-
fore, told me that he heard a gentleman
call her by name as he handed her into a
carriage after a little supper at the close
of an evening at the theatre. 1t was
midnight ara she was just going home
to dress for the ball. You can guess the
pace she wa keeping. She bought moth
ing but a little violet powder to whiten
the great dark circles under her eyes.
Next season she was a regular customer
for rose leaf waters of n kind and IN
other TO rub a little bloom on her cheeks.
After that it was paint, and now look at
her. Sometimes her face breaks out in
blotches and she has terrible work to
cure them. Eliza Putnam Heaton.

At the Picture Dealers.

1t was in a picture dealers. Some peo-
pie are irreverent enough to call such
places art stores. Well, perhaps, most
of them might be called curiosity shops,
hut still ''art store" does not seem to be
a happy combination of names. How
that word '~'store' has risen in dignity Of
late years! 1t is the gradual spead of
democratic ideas, which unfortunately
seem TO lower the highest as well as ele-
vate the lowest. Perhaps it would be
more accurate to say they made a COM
mon level between high and low. High
art as it was known is disappearing any
way. The only high art nowadays is
making money, and that is why picture
dealing is a higher artistic profession
than picture painting. The errand boy
of the establishment was making himself
useful around the place. Several ladies
had strolled in to look at the pictures,
without any intention of buying, which
perhaps disguised the errand boy. A
picture of the Magdalen stood on an
easel.
.'Ahr said one of the ladies, going up
to it and viewing it critically, That il
Mary Magdalen, isn't itl"
Il don't know if it is Mary Magdalen,'
said the boy.
The proprietor happened to be standing
close by.

Prnpertles Of Nitrn-Gircerlne.

So sensitive is nitro-glycerine to con-
cussion and percussion, that IL it be
dropped only a few feet or struck even q
slight blow it will explode. An example
of this wonderful property of the stuff
occurred a few years ago in Panama,
when the sudden ignition of q quantity
of it converted a wharf and a warehouse
into a mass of unrecognizable fragments,
inflicted damage to the extent Of about q
million dollars and suddenly ended a
number Of lives.
Careful investigations soon demon
strated that the change which converts O
harmless substance like glycerine into
such a tremendous explosive is made by
the substitution of molecules Of nitrogen
and oxygen for atoms Of hydrogen in the
original compound. When this is done
with great care and the process is carried
through the last stage, the resultant liq-
uid is nothing more than q vast mass Of
gas held together by the weakest and
most unstable bonds. New York Mail

Ruined by the Musk Rats.

Every old East Indian officer knows
that when a musk rat rum over the bot
ties in your cellar you might as well
throw the contents away. They will
have the smell and the taste of the musk,
and nothing that you can do will cure it.
1 know it is a story that you won't be-
leve, because you haven't seen it your
self, but you a cork a bottle of ale,
say, as securely as you like, seal it and
put it away, and if the rats get a chance
to play about it you will find it wholly
undrinkable. / don't know how tile
smell gets into the liquor, but there it is.
l have seen bottles washed and scrubbed
and rubbed with sand, then opened and
found to be ruined. There is no animal
that the old school Indian will kill with
such a thorough consciousness Of doing a
good work as the rat. Chicago News.

inches in diameter by 4 feet 2 1-2 inches
long, the walls being about 8 SIS inches
thick. The hydrogen is produced by ac-

Ealing House In Berlin.

I visited an eating house in Berlin
which for primitiveness Is rather ahead
Of anything else / have seen in the world.
The dining table consisted of a log in
which eighteen cavities appeared at regu-
lar intervals. Each cavity was Of about
the size of a large soup bowl, and fast
ened near every n was a big iron spoon
attached to the log by an iron chain.
The method Of dining was neither COM
plicated nor prolonged. A table d'hote
dinner, consisting of one course, which,
by the way, was the only dinner served
in the house, cost five pfennigs-about
one cent and a quarter of our coin. The
diner enters and planks down his money
before taking his seat. Then he chooses
one of the broad cavities, seizes the iron
spoon and waits for the waiter. That
functionary is usually a sort of a Pooh
Bah, combining in himself the duties Of
cashier, proprietor, head waiter and
bouncer in chief.
After the guest is seated the waiter
walks up to him bearing two steaming
cans and asks, shortly: ''Thick or clear
soupf' Inc ulnef usually, after snlIIlnB
the fumes Of the cans and giving the
matter weighty consideration, makes his
decision, and then the factotum fills up
the nearest cavity with soup, turns on
his heel and washes his hands of all fur
ther consideration. did not gain the
impression from a casual inspection that
the waiter had ever washed his hands in
any other than a figurative sense. The
diner scoops the soup out Of the hole in
the log with his iron spoon, and, having
thus dined wisely and well, is promptly
ordered out by the bouncer in chief.
There Is no lingering w an after din
ner cigar, nuts, ~raisins, fruit or coffee.
The expedition of the meal is its most
striking Characteristic, except, perhaps,
its simplicity.-Blakely Hall in New
