No Use for the Others to Stay Out-Joha
sherman's Mortgage ON the Ohio
senatorship. $g

NEW YoRK, Jan. 1.-The corridors OF the
Fifth avenue hotel were crowded all morn
ing with republican senators and politicians.
They spent all yesterday deyising means to
overcome the democratic majority in the
senate. The general opinion seems to be
that anything il fair that can prevent tho
success Of the democrats in their efforts to
control the upper branch of the legislature.
Senator James r. Edwards, who defeated
Perry Vedder in the Chautauqua district.
is to-day the biggest factor in the political
muddle which engages the attention OF the
political leaders of the state. He ID bigger
than the legislature itself, for without him
the senate can't organize with legal
quorum. The democrats have sixteen sena-
tors, but it takes seventeen to make quo
rum. Senator Edwards designates himself an
independent republican, but has been quoted
as saying he would sit with the democrats to
organize the senate tomorrow. The ff-
teen out and out republican senRtorg.
said to be in favor of the plan of absentinR
themselves tomorrow to prevent quorum,
held meeting in conjunction with Platt
and other leaders, to determine what to do.
United States Senator Hiscock WAS also
present. Edwards had been invited to
meet with them but his failure to respond
is regarded as ominous. After a lengthy
discussion all the republicans seemed agreed
on one point, and that ia, that unless Ed
wards refuses to aid the democrats in or
ganizing the senate it would be useless for
the other republican senators to remain
away. Some philosophical republicans pro-
fess to be Indifferent as to Edwards atti-
tude As to his standing on the contest
between Walker, democrat, and Sherwood.
republican, in the Twenty-seventh district,
Edwards is said to have stated that he
would not vote for Walker, that no man
should be admitted to the senate who had
1,64O votes less tnan his opponent, and that
the electors OF the district should have an
other election. Most Of the senators left
tonight for Albany.

Democratic Always,

THE INDEPENDENT will con-
tinue to be, So long as parties are
divided on existing lines, but it
will discuss men and measures on
THEN merits, defending neither
when it believes them to be bad.
Holding that democratic principles
OF government are best for all the
people, that under them, as adj
ministered in their purity, the ma
ton made the greatest progress in
the past and will have the greatest
prosperity in the future, THE

ceasingly for the restoration of the
democratic rarty to power. But,
while holding fast to this principle

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 4.--John T.. Sulli-

pledge to quit drinking for year. He
declares that he ia anxious to meet Slavin.
but it is apparent that the latter is trying
to evade the issue. His tour. Sullivan said,
closes the first week in June. and he would
like the match to take place about the mid
die of September, before any responsible
club in the United States offering the larg-
est purse, but would prefer New Orleans.

New York, Jan. 4.-Neither Frank Slavin,
his friend Charlie Mitchell, nor any repre-
sentative of theirs put in an appearance at
the Herald Office to-day at the hour they
to meet Charley johnson, John
L. Sulliyan's hacker, to cover the $500
put up By johnson some weeks ago. After
waiting half an hour for them to appear,
johnson drew down the forfeit money.
He says he is ready to put it up again at
any time the Australian can induce some
one to back him against Sullivan.

A Lucky Hotel Keeper.

Mr.. sammis, who sold his hotel at Fire
Island to the state Of New York for
quarantine purposes. said recently: Il
have been very fortunate. have taken
from $4,000 to $4,000 in checks in a
single season, and never had but two go
to protest-one of twenty-five dollars
and another of thirty-six dollars. And
l have not had more than So, 200 worth
of bad debts in all this time. These
facts show the class of people have
been catering to. Jay Cooke gave me a
check of $4,000 for his family. Peter
Cagger gave me check of 81 200 for his
family. General Townsend, of Albany,
gave me a check of 81 400 for his family.
The late George Jones, of the New York
Times, gave me a check of $500 for one
season. Louis Jennings, once editor of
the New York Times, gave me check
of 1900. These people were all here

A Diamond in the Fire.

There is very unhappy young maiden
at the branch telephone exchange at
Hunt and Broadway. She was presented
by her afianced with diamond engage
ment ring, which cost $125. Proud Of
the jewel, she was exhibiting it to her
companion at the exchange, and from
one to the other the ring went clear along
the line of operators seated at their re-
spective tables, and admired by all of
them. Arriving at the upper end of the
line, the young lady who last examined
wrapped itup in small piece Of paper,
and, calling the check boy, handed it to
him, thinking that he knew that it be-
longed to Miss -, and that he would
hand it to her.
The boy walked to the stove and tossed
the valuable little package into the fire.
One of the rules of the exchange requires
the young ladies, when they sharpen
their lead pencils, to gather up the chips
in little paper, call the check boy and
have them thrown in the stove.
In the case of the diamond ring, the
check boy took it for granted that the
package handed him was the pencil
chips and tossed it in the stove, in which
at the time there was redhot fire.
Every effort was made to find the ring,
but not even the diamond has been re-
covered. The engaged young girl is in

Teaching Children to Obey.

The father Of the best disciplined boy
the writer has ever seen says: II never
struckthe little fellow, and should hate
very much to see any one else strike him.
I want him to feel that am the best
friend he has, and yet that he must mind
instantly because we are good friends l
think children are nagged at too much,
and told not to do too many things. IF
they disobey in some trihing thing moth
ing is said, and SO they learn disobedi-
ence. A child should be made to obey
every command, the small and great
alike, but should not receive too many
orders. One disobedience is the father
of another, and perfect discipline is only
obtained by continually insisting on
obedience. Once child knows he must
mind he yields readily to authority"
Another good authority submits the
following: ''Teach a child to mind as
you would teach him his letters. You
don't expect him to learn them all in d
minute, but one at a time. Insist on
child obeying you promptly in some one
particular until he gets it learned, then
take up something else, and SO Oh until,
instead of minding once day as at first,
he obeys ever5 injunction. New York

are also revolv-


-
belt plates worn by men and officers,
bayonets, canteens, bowie knives used by
the Louisiana rangers, exploded shells
from different fields, cavalry equipment,
spurs and buckles, incorporated in the
design with great skill and intelligence.
Every bullet, every broken remnant of
shot and shell, every belt plate and
epaulet could tell of inspiring scenes
and events. The story of the war is
told in metal. The great armies of the
north and south occupy opposite sides.
The national government is represented
in the letters u. S., the combination be-
ing made from mimic balls from Peters
burg. The Confederacy,, on the other
hand, is represented in the letters G.
S., which are composed of bullets from
the southern lines. The battle selected is
not on southern soil, but in the state of
Pennsylvania. Gettysburg has been
chosen because that represented the
high tide of the Confederacy.
The centerpiece on the Federal side is
revolver which exploded in the hands
of a soldier named Williams; on the
Confederate side it is a Confederate
canteen pierced by four bullets. The
Union canteen on the other side was
found near the Mcpherson monument
at Atlanta. On one side are crossed
bayonets, while the opposite is signal
lied by bowie knives that were carried
in the belts of the Louisiana tigers.
The Confederate belt plates cannot be
duplicated easily. They represent the
styles worn by officers and men. A
couple of these belt plates are of Pc
culiar significance, telling of blockade
runners that were intercepted and deeds
of daring that were wasted. Both are
of British origin, one bearing the coat
of arms of Great Britain and the other
the head of the British lion. Both were
captured before the blockade runner
had penetrated the Union naval lines.
The monument is surmounted by a
32-pounder shot. Such are but the most
salient features of production too
unique for description.

Points Where the Characteristics OF An.

There is theory, you know, that we
inherit traits and conditions from our re-
mote ancestors as well as from our i'm
mediate ones. sometimes fancy that
they descend to some people with time
lock attachment. A child is born; he is
like his mother, we will say; gentle,
sweet, kind, truthful for years-let us
say seven. Suddenly the time lock turns,
and the traits of his father (modified, OF
course, by the acquired habit OF seven
years. show themselves strongly-take
possession, in fact Another seven years,
and the piggishness of a great uncle, the
stinginess Of an aunt, or the dizziness, in
books, OF rural grandfather.
Then, in keeping with the next two
turns Of the lock, he falls in love with
every new face he sees, marries early
and INDUCES himself recklessly in
large family. He is an exemplary hus-
band and father, as men go, an ideal bus
mess man and a general favorite in soci-
ETY.. Everybody remarks upon the ia
vorable change since his stupid, priggish
college days.. All this time through
every change he has been honorable and
upright in his dealings with his fellows.
Suddenly the time lock of thieving
ancestor is turned on; he finds tempta-
ton too strong for even that greatly
underestimate power-the forces Of
habit of a ifetime-and the trust funds
in his keeping disappear with him
to Canada. Everybody is surprised,
shocked, pained-and he, no doubt, more
SO than any one else. Emotional insanity
is offered as possible explanation by
the charitable; long headed, calculating,
Intentional rascality by the severe or
self righteous.
And he? Well, he is wholly unable to
account for it at all. He knows that he
had not lived all these years as a con-
scious, self controlled thief. He knows
that the temptations Of his past life had
never before taken that particular form.
He knows that the impulse was sudden,
binding, overwhelming, but he does not
know why and how. 1t was like an
awful dream. He seemed to be power
less to overcome it. The time lock had
turned without his knowledge, and in
spite of himself. The unknown, I'M
heard of thievish ancestor took posses
sion, as it were, through force of SUI
perior strength and ability, and then it
was his hour. The hereditary shadow
on the dial had come around to him.
The great uncle's hour was passed.
He, no doubt, was turned onto some
other dazed automaton-in Maine or
Texas-.who had fallen heir to drop too
much of his blood, and she, poor thing,
happened to be girl this time, forth
with proceeded to fall in love with her
friends husband--seeing he was the only
man at hand at the time; while the
thievish ancestor left, in shame and con-
triton, small but light fingered boy in
Georgia to keep his engagement with
our respectable, highly honored and

The variety of articles that piano tr1n-

also extraordinary what receptacle Of
lost articles a piano can become in the
course of few months. A tuner was

valuable things have for getting into
strange places, it promptly gets between
the keys and works down into the frame

things like gems are not the only ones
lost in this way. I have found coins of
all sorts or denominations in a loosely
set piano, hairpins, ordinary pins, visit
ing cards and the like.
"Where there are children around the

can get their nnischievous little fingers

anything beneath or behind the keys,

they are using the piano themselves. -
