AT prolonged meeting of the State Central
Committee IN Denver il was decided 10 with
draw the Cleveland electors, substituting there
for Weaver men. These We're the Orders of the
Democratic National Committee. Col J. G.
Taylor, esnd idate on the straight Democratic
ticket for Congress for the Second District, fled
his resignation with the Secretary of State
Candidates Tor the Legislature took similar
action. The action OF the committee is bitterly
denounced 10y many leading Democrats of the
State. and many designations from the ticket
may be expected.
The opinion Of the political leaders of both
Republlcan and Democratic parties is that the
move was made TO defeat Harrison in Colorado
and carry the State for Cleveland. 4. {. Whitta-
ker. leading Denver Democrat, expressed his
approval of the course of the straight Democ-

we want" be said, d" is TO keep Harrison from
carrying the State If Weaver gets the vote it
is the same rs though Cleveland got it. All

EDITOR NATIONAL TR1BUNE: 1t may be Of
interest to your readers aud the public gener-
ally, at this time, when the subject of the veto
OF the Dependent Pension Bill is fresh in their
minds to hear something from Grover Cleve-
lands substitute
This man, named George Brinski, is now an
inmate Of Ward B, Hospital of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home of New York, at Bath. He
is in destitute circumstances, is decrepit, ad-
vanced in years, and has long been totally un-
able to earn livelihood.
A year ago he made application for pension,
but thus far his name does not appear upon the
pension.roll of the country.
With pension of $12 per month this man
would have been enabled to live quite COM
fortably the few remaining years allotted him,
but this has been refused him and thousands of
others in the defeat of the pension bill.
Mr.. Brinski is short tbick-set. full beard,
speaks with u foreign accent, and with a nau-
teal ROLL which indicates he has plowed the
"raging main" A glance at him shows that
he was q tar" beyond doubt The backs OF
each hand are tattoOed with ships lighthouses,
entrances to harbors, etc. 1t is claimed by Mr.
Brinski that Mr.. Cleveland knows all about his
infrmties and restitution. but has never helped
him to the extent of dollar, regardless of his
promises to see that he (Brinski) should never
want for anything. The following is

1t was Saturday afternoon. and time
that little Mary should begin the prep

but, unfortunately, she was deeply en-
gagged in designing new and elaborate
tea gown for her oldest doll. who, SC
Mary thought, had reached time OF
life when a tea-gown could no longer
be dispensed with.
Her mother several times called the
attention of the busy little dressmakeJ
to the advanced hour of the afternoon;
and finally her older sister. taking a
Bible from the shelf, said:
Come, Mary, I'll help you to learn
your lesson, and then you can go back
to your play"
Mary came over to her sisters side.
ready to begin the lesson, when sud
denly she exclaimed:
'Sistcr, let's study it out Of grandpa s
Bible"
"isut what difference can it makc?'
"Why, grandpa's Bible is so much

.'Oh, no. Mary, they are just the

THE SLING.
Nations That Have Used That Primitive
Weapon With Deadly Effect

Nations That Have Used That Primitive
Weapon With Deadly Effect
The sling was one of the earliest in
ventions in the way Of a weapon, and 1T
was an improvement on the Stone
thrown by hand. which was the rudest
and most primitive method of fighting.
The sling is weapon made OF cord
or Of hide. at the end of which stone
more or less heavy is placed to be
thrown to A distance. 1t is unneccs-
sary to describe an instrument which is
in the hands of every school boy, but it
may be stated that its principle is the
bringing into play the law of centrifu-
gal force. The stone swung round in the
sling. tends to fly off at tangent, and
tightcns the sling with an intensity
which is proportionate to the centrifugal
force, but is held bnck by the hand.
which, while whirling the sling around,
restraints the flight of the charge it con-
tains The stone escapes at a tangent
the instant the hand ceases to act.
The inhabitants of Palestine made use
in very ancient times Of this dangerous
weapon, the most skillful in its use be-
ing the tribe of Ben jamin, whose boast
it was ncv to miss their aim. What
makes their skill more surprising was
that they managed the sling with the
left hand. The men who came to
David's help at Ziklag We're no less
adroit. They used at will either the
right hand or the left The sling WAS
also the favorite weapon of shepherds,
who with it drove away wild beasts
preying on their focl<s. This makes
David's victory over the giant less sur
prising, as he had, no doubt, great prac'
tice in the use Of this instrument while
guarding his fathers sheep.
1t has been said that the Asiatic ma
| tions cxcelled others in the nse of the

| army used their little weapons with

such skill" says one old historian. that

in the use of the sling is the training
