OUR Democratic friends are very much
concerned about Chairman Quay, who
by preventing Democratic frauds in
New York City and Brooklyn, made the
election of Republican President GER
tain, and they are anxious to know what
will be the outcome in Pennsylvania in
November. They may perspire less
and feel easier when they are assured
positively that the Republicans will
elect their entire ticket. The Republi-
cans of the Keystone State are not made
of the kind of stuff which elevates
Bourbon Free Traders or Mugwumps to
reign over them.

Nearly a year ago fisherman W. T.
Van Dyke, while pursuing his occu'
patton off shore, invitingly threw out
a fishing line with two well baited
hooks, writes the fishing reporter OF
The Long Branch News. Presently
there was a jerk-the bait had took
Van Dyke was hauling in hand over
hand, when suddenly the tension
ceased and the line was gracefully and
adroitly whisked into the boat minus
both hooks. Last fall Mr.. Van Dyke,
in emptying of his pounds" of its
over night catch, discovered among
his captives a pig fish and a sea bass
united by n bit Of fishing cord, which
he readily identified as his own.
A hook had penetrated the jaw of
each fish, and becoming imbedded
there, the flesh had grown around
their barbs and thus securely fastened
them in position. Thus held together
for nearly n twelve month they had
coursed the briny in double team,
held by a single Irvine, till death cut
their thread of life in twain. The
skeletons Of this curious pair of acct.
dental Siamese twins, together with
the hooks and line which constituted
their sole domestic tie, now adorn the
walls of the fish house of Mr.. Van
Dyke, on Ocean avenue, opposite
North Bath avenue.

uNsPoKEN WORDS.
The kindly words tbnt rise within the hes

The kindly words That rise within the heart
And thrill IT with their sympathetic tone
But die e'er spoken, fail to play their part,
And claim merit that is not their own.
The kindly word unspol5en is a sim
A sin that wraps itself in purest guise,
And tells the heart thst doubling, looks
within,
Thatnot in speech, but thought, the virtue
lies.
But tits not so: another heart may thirst
For that kind word, as 6cger in the wild
Poor banished ageri-prayed a well might
From out the sand TO save her parching
child.
And loving oyes that cannot SEQ the mind.
Will watch the expected movement of the
lip;
Ahl can ye let its cutting silence wind
Around thathea and seattle it like q whipY
Unspoken words like treasures in the m
Are valueless until We give them birth:
Like unfound gold their hidden beauties shine
Which God has made 70 bless and gild the
earth.
How sad 'twould be to SEQ masters hand
Strike glorious notes upon u voiceless lutel
But oh what pain when, at Gods own com
mand,
A heart string thrills with kindness, but Is
mute.
Then hide It not, the music Of the soul,
Dear sympathy, expressed with kindly
voice,
But let it like q shining river roll
To deserts dry,Ato hearts that would re
joico.
Obi let the symphony of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendless and tho
weak;
And he will bless you,-he who struck these
cords
Will strike another when in turn you seek.

About Pearls.

Pearls have been rising in value in the
European market so long, and threaten
to rise 80 steadily, that they may soon
become the costliost, as they have long
been among the most elegant, ornaments
Of beautiful woman.
Many a jewel is more effective. The
ruby is richer In color; the diamond is
brighter; gold and silver are more plas-
ic, and the latter are as full of possibili-
lies as Reynard's bag Of tricks. The
pearl has but its mlld satin skin, like an
angels shoulder, tts rounded curves yet
It's shy lustre seems to have a more perma-
nent hold upon dainty fancy than many
more vivid aud more robust gems.
True, II Is mere carbonate of lime; 4;
Tue, its globular form comes but from
The sickness Of an iuyertebrate, and its
,olors are drawn not from the living fish,
but from its putIescence after death.
An ornament that owes its existence to
nothing but disease and decay certainly
draws little from sentiment, and perhaps
the pearl owes more TO its constant asso-
citation with noble pictures OF beauteous
women than to its intrinsic glory. For
al that, the decorative position of pearls
S unassailable. In spite of their grim
origin a hecklet of iluo pearls remains a
lar more refined and dainty ornament
han one of the brilliants.- Chatter.

How Women Kill Flowers,

1t is peculiar fact that some women
kill flowers within twenty minutes after
they are adjustedrto to the corsage. Others
will wear them for hours aud they will
look as fresh as when they were first
pinned on. A florist said: ''Women
wear flowers sometimes because they are
vain, not because they love them. Flow
ers are alive and it chills them TO lay
near the heart that has no love for them.
They droop and mourn themselves to
death, because they known there is moth
ing in common between them and the
wearer. They are like little children !:
they love those who love them, and their
best, brightest beauty is given to the
woman who pins the bouquet on through
her love for the flowers" A physician
SAID: "Certainly some women can kill
flowers within a very few minutes. 1t is
sure indication that a poisonous vapor
is escaping from the body to great de-
gree. It may be the result of disease, or
it may. be that bathing and proper care
of the skin are neglected. The body
that is kept IN wholesome cleanliness
will give new life to the flowers. A
magnetic strength is carried from the
wsarer to the flower, and long after the
woman is weary with an afternoons
shopping OF calling the flowers will smile
back at her with her own strength. She
gives life to the flowers through the
sweetness of her own body. There is
such a difference in women about the
care of the person. Some of our best
dressed and wealthiest ladies are the
most negligent. They seem to have nc
pride. There is nothing more disccrni'
bic than this disregard. They are either
ignorant or unconscious of this fact, or
else they are without the pride that
should go with intelligence, Flowers
cannot live in the poisonous vapor and
they betray the secret ofinvisible neglect
by soon dropping. - Chicago Herald.

An EmperOr's Earache.

Referring to the chronic earache from
which the Emperor of Germany suffers,
Harold Frederic says in the New York
Times. "Just what the affection is no one
has yet been able to determine. 1t growi

is about all that is known of it. The ply.
dcians disagree as to its character. Will

acutely from it, has never been alarmed
about 1t, and really believes 1t to be {
local ailment. It's existence naturally
enough sufiices TO create a certain un'
easiness in the minds of his friends, and
OF Germans generally, but / canpot learr
that any responsible professional men re-
gard it as necessarily dangerous. Thi!

Work is being vigorously pushed on
the Nicaragua canal. The large plant
used by Slaven,. of San Francisco, on the
Panama canal, has been purchased, and
a new set of powerful dredges have been
contracted for in Scotland. Meantime
work has been carried on at the mouth
of the San Carlos River, the depth Of
which, at the mouth, is said to have
been doubled already. At the rate that
work is being advanced, vessels will pass
through the canal before 1895, if no un-
foreseen obstacles occur.

There is nothing to be surprised at ii
the story that an establishment has beer
discovered in Paris where limitations OF
the pictures of the great French painter
Courbet are turned out by wholesale. Il
has been the fortune of all the Frencl
masters, says the New York Star, to at
tract the attention of the forgers, ano
without doubt there are to-day in the
galleries of the world more spurious thar
genuine works of Corot, Daubigny, Diaz
Courbet and Jacque, not to mention any
others. Most of the pictures are as ex'
cellent, as works of art, as masters could
paint, only they are not the real thing
There seems TO be no way of preventing
these frauds, but the picture business al
over the world is being seriously dis
credited and damaged thereby.

Regularly every six months, it is said, f.,
the United States Treasury Department
receives either a 500 or $50 bill which,
from all appearances, instead of being
made from plate, is executed entirely
with pen. The work is of very high
order, and several times these have es-
capped detection and gone into circula-
tion. The counterfeiter has not yet been
discovered. He seems to work for
notoriety, as he could not make living
in this manner.

NC increase in railway miIeageip

The increase in railway piteagein this
country during the first six months of the
year was 1898 miles. This, in the opin-
ion of the Chicago Ne'cs, is accounted
highly creditable. More miles of rail-
road have been constructed in the South
ern States than in any other section OF
the country. The Northwestern States
and Territories, where construction went
on rapidly for awhile, have nearly
stopped building. Massachusetts, laid
but mile and a hal, of new road, Maine
about ten miles; the other New Eng
land States stood still. California gained
one mile.

A party of soldiers were eating a
''post supper spread" at a short distance
from the camp fire.
They had obtained permission to bring
with them one of the prisoners, "little

derful voice.
The men would make him sing "Home,
Sweet Home" until the tears rolled down
their cheeks and his own. Then to make
up for this they tried to teach him songs
which he would not learn.
On this particular evening he had sung
TO them long time. AS his eye caught
the star his brother had seer, even before
it was quite dark, he struck up the notes
of his mothers hymn;

His Forces in the Field
Early Next Week.

Chief Engineer Barclay of the Great
Falls & Canada Railway. which is to
connect this city with Her Majesty's do
minion on the north, accorded the TR1B-
UNE a brief interview today.
"You Gun say" said Mr.. Barclay, "that
the road will be built as soon as men and
money can build it. My staff will be here
in a day or two, and by Wednesday next
they will be in the field. There is no
time to lose, you will note, as l have to
give the contractors the location by the
first day of March,"
"Can you give the TRIBUNE an IDEA of
the general route of the line :"
"Not very well yet. The route is still
to be found. l have in my mind
two different routes between Great Falls
and the Marias and it will require some
field work to determine which is the
available one. From the Marias the line
is practically settled. We will go down
the Dry Fork to the Mar1as river Cat
Conrad) then follow up the latter stream
a few miles to a cOulee that takes US east.
ly to the bench and thence it is almost an
air line to Lethbridge."
"How far will the road be from the
Sweet Grass hills?"
81 would say about 10 miles from the
west butte, at the nearest point"
"When will the road be completely"
at will be completed and turned over
to the owners by September l, $780,"
When it is remembered that Donald
Granite Co. are the contractors the reader
can readily accept this statement. They
know how to build railroads and how to
build them quickly. Arrangements are
now made for all the ties needed, the
steel has been purchased and in a few
weeks supplies of all kinds will COM
mence arriving here. By March 10,
1900 men will be at work on the grade
and before September 1, the Grants say,
we can ride by rail from Great Falls to
Lethbridge and all points east.
