WHAT THE SOUTH THINKS OF HILL
And OF the Anti. Democratic Movement,

To THE EDITOR OF The suN-Sir: The "sev-
cnth annual Mu:wump buck-iump." as you
have appropriately styled the Cooper Union
meeting OF Thursday night. does not seem to
be alarming many OF the true Democrats
whom one meets here. Governor Hills
friends who come here are positive in
the assertion that but for his success
full leadership our party would not now
be in complete control OF the Legislature
OF the Empire State. The Southern men. par.
ticulary. feel thankful to Senator Hill, because
redistricting OF New York will give us such
gain in Democratic Congressman that It
will be impossible for the Republicans
to wrest the control ofthe House from us. In
the South the Force bill issue is greater
one than low tariff. free silver or anything
else. Tho Mugwumps despise success II Mr..
Hill has anything to do with it and they would
have been pleased II tho Republicans could
have retained the New York Senate. and they
are raving mad because Mr.. Hill is recognized
as the man who whipped the Republicans all
along the line.
II Mr. Cleveland is AS popular with tho voters
In New York as his shouters would make the
country believe. why in the name OF common
sense are his supporters afraid to wage an
honorable man-to-man fight for majority Of
the delegates to the Convention which is to
assemble at Albany on Feb. 222
The crowd that fights MIR. Hill know that he
is unconquernble in his own State. and the
"Mugwump buck-jump" is intended to infu-
ence sentiment elsewhere for the Great

not control the Empire State delegation.

innovation OF etiquette at the Republican
court is decidedly interesting:
"For years it has been debated question tho sub
feet OF endless discussion. to whether not tho
President the Official head Of the nation. should
take precedence OF the host and hostess Tho usual
arrangement has been for tho President to sit the
right OF the hostess In order to settle the matter Mrs.
EoBLE some time sent to London get tho Eng
lsh order OF precedence which carried out her ideas
the subject by averrng that tho President
should occupy tho seat OF the host. The matter
then submitted to the State Department. from which
tho reply camo that the matter in this country
purely optional Mrs NOBLE thereupon decided TO have
tho for the President placed At tho head of tho
table. she occupying the on the right. Secretary
EosLE sat at the opposite end Of the table with Mrs
HARRISON at his right hand"
still moro effective way to emphasize the
fact that the President is the guest Of honor
and tho chief Executive Of q nation Of sixty
five millions OF people would be to put him on
the table ITSELF at the central spot occupied
ordinarily by floral ornaments or emblematic
devices.

FULL OF REPTILES.

In Our Geological Formation Creeping
Animals Once Predominsted.
There was time ''in the wide revolv-
ing shades of centuries past when our
globe was wholly in the possession Of
walking. swimming and flying reptiles.
Being of the dominant type they were
divided into three great classes. In the
ocean they became gigantic padding
enaliosaurians; on dry land, or rather
wet land (for the whole face of the
earth was doubtless a quagmire at that
time), they became monstrous ichthy-
osaurians, some of which had legs If
teen feet or more in length; those which
inhabited the regions of the mir were
the terrible flying pterodachtyls. For
. vast but unknown length of time
these awful creatures literally ruled the
earth. Finally, after they had ''seen
their day." they began to grow less and
less- One by one they died out in tho
face Of tho younger aud moro vigorous
fauna, until at the present time only .
few miniature alligators and crocodiles,
a few toy snakes as reminders of sl1ulk-
ing lizards and geckos remain of the
enormous reptilian types that once
crowded land and sea.

CUPID AND THE sAeAc,ous CAT.

1t was in the spring Of the year 1889
when met my husband, Says writer
in the New York Recorder. I held q
position as artist for one of the largo
firms in New York city. and he held q
position rs bookkeeper for the Arm
two doors below the one we occupied,
and / became acquainted with HIM,
and soon our acquaintance ripened into
close friendship, and many were the
notes he would send upstairs. At last
he hit upon the novel idea of using the
large Office cat for . messenger boy,
and the first thing in the morning
would see Tommy at the door of my
room crying to be let In. As soon as
the door would be opened he would
walk into the room and wait patiently
for me to take the note that my friend
had tied to his collar from him, and
after would answer it he would stand
still until gave him little petting,
and then of he would go and deliver
the note to my friend
Strange as it may seem, that cat
would not allow anyone to touch him
while he was carrying the note.
Through these notes friendship ripened
into love. and we called Tommy our
messenger boy.
Just before we were married Tommy
disappeared and we could find no
trace Of him, but my husband de-
clares he must be still living and carry
ing love messages for some other happy
ones
