THOMAS LYNCH, poor but respectable laborer, employed at Benedict & Burn hams, lost two fingers in power press last Friday. The wages he received were not very large, and MT Lynch found it hard to support his family of five small children. Now that he is incapacitated from work and in bad way financially, the unfortunate man, as is natural looks to the rich corporation to help him out in his affliction. The company has refused to do anything for MT Lynch and in his unhappiness he turns to the DEMOCRAT for relief and asks that his case be brought be- fore the public. Legally the Benedict & Burnham company may not be responsible but in all honor and fairness they should at least see that MT Lynch had proper care; and they might even go farther, and keep the wolf from the door until such time as MT Lynch is able to resume work. The old saying that corporations have no souls finds practical proof in this case, and we fear that Mir Lynch will have to look to the charity of his fellow workmen to relieve his unfortunate condition. He has been advised to bring suit for damages, but does not care to resort to such measures, although justice is on his side, and even was he disposed to test his claims legally how could he do it? The Benedict & Burn ham company is worth hundreds of thous- ands, while his family have barely enough to exist on.

SENATOR Hawley went to Detroit to put a little Western life into his own diminu- tive presidential boom. He did not initiate it much. Western people have nothing but good to say of Hawley, but he does not attract people to his support. His tar if speech was one that will read well, but it met with a cold reception from the 200 Michigan republicans who heard it. It was dry, and so were those who listened, for nothing stronger than coffee was served at the banquet where the speech was de- ivered, as Michigan, following the lead of it's senior Senator, is fast becoming pro- hibition State. Twenty-one counties have already voted "dry," and not one has yet gone "wet."

HERE is sample of the methods used by Ireland. Last week twenty saloon keepers were arrested for refusing to allow the English constabulary to sample their wares. Here is cable account of the proceedings: "Now, the magistrates thought such a wholesale swoop was rather too much, even to suit Coercionist Balfour, and, after holding up to the guilty score the terrors of twenty eight days in prison cell with plank to sleep on and mug of water to quench their publican thirst, they offered to allow them all to go free if they would undertake to give the peelers liquor value for their money in the future. Eleven faint-hearted ones gave the required pledge, but the remaining nine proved sturdy pa triots, and walked to their solitary cells with one united cheer for home rule The cowardly eleven, however, speedily re- pented of their decision. The townsfolk summed them. Their sympathies were with the suffering nine, and the liquor traffic of the town was steadily directed to the houses of the imprisoned ones. Self interest now proved stronger than patriot ism. The boycotted eleven met and dis unanimous decision, went in body to the police office, where they announced their intention of withdrawing their pledge, and claimed the alternative of months inn R,,f fho +o help them, and, as they became importun- ate, forcibly removed them from the sta ton house to the street, where they were received with the jeers of the assembled crowd, who escorted them to their respec- tive homes, indulging on the way in a series of comments not exactly complimen- tary in their character"

Peculiar Eye of a Marksman.

This man Swinney, who wants to be train robber, and isn't, has most remarkable eyes. H. is a dead shot, if such thing exists, and you would think so when you first look at him. His eyes, which are very dark and piercing, affect one unpleasantly, mainly be- cause he has in the iris, and immediately around the pupil, light gray ring that you will not find in the ordinary human eye In fact never saw but three men with that ring and they were all dead shots with the rifle or revolver. I have heard and believe that this kind of an eye is always found in good marksmen; but it does not follow by any means that man without it isn't good shot. You hear great deal about men being am- bidexterous in the use of the revolver. l have met men who could shoot we'll with either hand, but these stories you hear about such men as Rande and others being able to fire successfully at two marks-one to the extreme right and the other to the extreme left-are in my opinion fairy tales.

sit is surprising how well the German gov
eminent keeps informed about American
AFFAIRS" said Julius Hoffman, who for eight
cen years has been manager of the German
society of the city of New York.
"Only yesterday l saw a communication
which have all reason to believe came di-
rect from the emperor through the minister
of foreign affairs, addressed TO one of the
governments agents, asking him to look up
a certain society recently established here
presumably for the purpose of comforting
benefits upon the Germans, and which opened
a branch in Germany. The organization is
managed by Americans, and there is prob.
ably nothing suspicious about it, yet the EN-
peror, who is a warrior from the crown OF
his head 10 his footsoles, wishes TO get all the
information about it, so that be can be pre-
pared to deal with it in case the organization
has political object
VERY little of any importance happens il
this city that Bismarck doesn't know. He ha:
regular reports sent TO him and tries to keeI
track of the German emigrants who com,
over here, and am sure he thoroughly un
derstands the part played by the German
citizens in the political affairs of the Unitet
| States
| Several members of the German society
| down town merchants, who have just re
| turned from their summer vacation spent il
| Germany, here spoke about the great popu
larity of the young emperor. They say tina
| he is enthusiastically received wherever b
goes. They seemed to think he would hol,
the affection of his people as long as he re
manned ''eitiEen" monarch, and did no
cater to the nobility as is indicated by som

| given in his honor-New York World.

About fifteen years ago there was a large
number of gambling saloons in Mobile,
where keno, roulette and faro were played
every night
A young man who is now merchant In
Memphis, Tenn, was almost insane about de-
vising some scheme to break the roulette at
gambling saloon which was backed up by
thousands OF dollars. He had been left some
property by his father, and he had sold 1t
piece by piece to secure funds with which to
play roulette.
One night, while betting on the red and
black numbers as usual, he lost all the money
he had with him. Feeling around In his pock-
cts his hand touched coin about the size
of a quarter, and he called out quickly, just
as the wheel was about to stop:
twenty-five cents on number eight, black y
The wheel stopped with the marble on No.
s, black, before the young man could get bis
money out. The banker, knowing he was a
| good customer, paid the bet giving him Sc.
The young man bet 81 ON another number
and won. He bet again, ard again won, and
he continued to win for hours and hours until
he had $1,000 or $1,000 and the bank sus-
| pended
The young man carried the money home
and in his room searched his pockets for the
| quarter that had brought him so much
money, saying he would keep it for luck

England's So Called Naval Reserves,

This, from The London Telegraph, in re-
gard to the value of the naval reserve OF
yachtsmen and others maintained in Great
Britain, should not be taken too seriously by
those who are anxious for a similar organi-
cation on this side of the water but may
give them some hints as to what their ideal
ought not to be: THE so called naval re-
serves are paper sailors, who have but the
flimsiest knowledge Of their work, and can
not be counted upon to enlist when time for
fighting arrives A naval reserve man very
often joins for the sake of bit of gilt lace
and the social distinction of forming part of
the royal navy. The government at present
has no such control over him as sufflces to
make him competent sailor The name
reserve In his case is misleading; naval
amateur would sound more truthful though
perhaps less glorious" The coast guards
men, The Telegraph thinks, ARE the nations
real fighting reserve, whose hearts of oak,
well disciplined minds, and seasoned bodies
would well maintain the country's naval
prestige when put to the test."-New York

glish words he ;tmew, and swore IN spanish,
but Mickey only chuckled to think he could
say so much. Surely he ought to make
good deal of money out of such an accom-
plished bird.
When the shawl was removed, and the
proud macaw looked about the dingy room
he laughed with derision.

there must be an owner for the bird.
