TIE RAIN MAKING m INDIA.

"According to the Times of India,
Mr.. Wolfe -Murray's rain-making ex.
periments in Madras have been at
tended by a success so remarkable
as to suggest the occurrence of sin.
gularly fortuitous coincidence rath er
than triumph of science over ma
tnre. The center chosen for the ex-
pertinent was Cudapah, where the
rainfall is always scanty, and, neith-
er kites nor balloons being available,
the dynamite was placed on ridge
of fiat rocks 2,40O feet above the sea
level and couple of hundred feet
above the plain. A hundred pounds
of dynamite were used in all, ten
packages of ten pounds each being
ranged on the rocks at intervals of
sixty yards, and fired by time-fuses
at intervals of one minute. Nine of
the packages were successfully ex-
ploded, and six hours later, while
the sun wassstill shining, there came
a magnificent shower of rain, such,
it is stated, as has hardly been expe-
rienced in the district during the
present year. The shower lasted
half an hour. and was coufned to
the region affected by the explo-
sions, which Mr.. Wolfe. Murray deems
a conclusive proof of the success of
the experiment. AS the total cost
was only 200 rupees, it will not be
difficult matter to verify these condi-
tions in other districts"
We think that before many years
the very persons who to-day are
sneering at the rain-making idea will
be saying they always knew it
could be done and had always advo-
Gated it. 1t is only question of a
few years till it will be fact that
rains can be brought on at pleasure.

Tue Pittsburg Post says; A WELL
known conductor on the Pittsburg
g Western was rather nonplussed
the other day when, approaching a
newly made bridegroom who was
sitting beside his blushing darling
and asking him for his ticket, the
freshly created benedict hastily
pulled out an imposing looking doc
ument and handed it to the official.
1t proved to be the marriage license.
On account of his uniform the flus-
trated groom had mistaken tie con-
ductor for a police officer, whom he
wished to assure that he had been
legally welded.

WHEN You ARE ASKED TO RECEIVE

If one of your women-frieuds asks
you to "receive" with her at any
function she has definite reason for
so doing. She doesn't expect you to
stand with her all the afternoon and
do nothing but greet and dismiss
guests-that is her special privilege
as hostess. The unwritten law for
those who are asked to receive with
the hostess is otherwise. 1t is their
part to do what the hostess, who is
busy with incoming guests, can not
do. These assistants may at the first
stand in the line with the hostess
until the rooms begin to be filled;
then they should gradually with
draw, leaving only one of the num-
Der to act as special assistant to the
hostess, and it should be their spe-
cial mission to break up the stiff little
pauses following introductionS,to TO see
that isolated and timid people are
brought among those who have the
most Sagoir .faire, to invite guests out
to the dining-room and see that they
are properly served, to make the
stranger feel especially welcome, to
break up little groups of intimates-
in short, to diffuse a sweet and gra-
cious courtesy everywhere, to make
every guest feel that he or she is an
object of special consideration, to do
what no hostess, can accomplish, be-
cause she cannot make dozen peo-
pie of herself at once.

WHY HE CHAMPIONS DEMOCRACY.
A Prominent Republican Gives Strong
Reasons for Opposing Mckinley.


Reasons for Opposing Mckinley.
IBy Telegraph TO the Evening Journal.l
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 1.-Several
days ago Hon. Henry NJ Cleveland of
Brooklyn, this state, addressed letter to
ex-Judge H. Lynde Harrison, of this city
asking his reasons for resigning from the
Republican League. Judge Hairison's
letter in reply bears date of October 2S.
Brief extracts are as follows:
resigned from the Republican League
because | cannot endorse two Of the
leading features of the policy Of the
present administration, and especially
because l believe the position taken by
the party managers in Connecticut upon
what are called state issues, is radically
wrong.
Upon the subject of tariff am a
Republican of the Garfield school, but
not of the Mckinley clan. believe
that all taxation should be limited to the
necessities of the government and reve-
nue. should be the primary object sought.
| In 1890 l considered the Mckinley tariff
bill wrong because it seemed to be con-
structed upon the theory of protection
for the sake of protection and regardless
of revenue. Many Of its provisions are
unjust and burdensome upon the gen
eral body of the people.
l have believed since Mr.. Hayes with
drew the troops from South Carolina in
1877 that the time for federal legislation
on the subject of elections has passed.
The strongest objection to the bill passed
by the house in 1890 is that it is designed
for use in one part of the country only.
The people of New England do not want
federal interference with elections. We
have no right TO impose upon the people
of the south a system of Federal sup
ervision of elections which we do not
need nor ask for the north. We need
reform in our constitution. The Demo
cratic party of this state is committed
to.
Judge Harrison has always supported
the Republican party. He has served
in both branches of the state Legislature
and in 1877 was speaker Of the House OF
Representatives In 1884 the Judge was
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee.
