He Was Eating Them Alive.

A neatly dressed young man with fresh,
pink complexion entered a popular downtown
restaurant late the other evening and ordered
half dozen raw oysters, says the Chicago
NetCs. The restaurant is one of the places
where the Holsters and shell fish are dressed at
counter In full view of the patrons At the
time the pink young man gave his order two
young men were standing by the counter talk
ing with the man who cracks oysters open and
bisects Holsters Before the young man had
fairly swallowed the first of his half dozen the
two men had raised their voices, conversing in
tones which he could not help but hear.
Say" said one of them to the man behind
the counter, ARE oysters dead when they reach
here?"
The young man looked up sharply and then
pretended not to hear.
40, no" said the attendant; 'shel oysters
are alive until they're broken. Them in that
he picked up a specimen. You see when |
touches it 1t shuts up, and he tried the expert
ment on gaping mollusk, which Immediately
closed.
"Then," said the man who had first spoken,
they're alive till you bust them open! And
they can't die ali at once?"
mo. l don't suppose So"
Then man who is eating raw oysters is eat
ing EN- alive. isn't he?h
"Yes, guess So"
"And they're alive even when he pricks a
fork into them and they go inside? Living,
mebbe, in his stomach, eh?n
perhaps"
kind of funny they don't square more going
down, isn't itf''
Right here the young man, who had been
munching the crackers in his bowl and dis
mally watching the blvalves on his plate, laid
down the fork on which he had poised the third
of his oysters, picked up his check and hastily
departed.
"There are four nice raw oysters on thai
plate as good as untouched if either of yoU
fellows want 'em, said the attendant, with 6
| grin.

Anxious Democrats.

Some of the leaders OF the Louisiana
democracy are showing considerable anxi-
ETY. about the split in their party in that
state. Congressman Adolph Meyer, who
represents the district In which New Or
leans is situated, In an interview In Wash
ington day or two ago. said that the DEM
ocrats were blind to the danger which the
split threatens. Because the Republican
party is also split they think there is no
danger Of the republicans getting control of
the state. Mr.. Meyer, however. who has
been quite close observer of republican
politics in Louisiana, thinks that the differ
ences among the republicans would be
quickly healed If they saw chance for
electing a republican ticket.
There is no indication that the democratic
factions will come together during the cams
paign that is now going on. The McEnery
faction feels certain Of carrying the state
and will make no concessions to the Foster
faction, aud it is certain that the Foster
faction will not retreat in the least from the
position it has taken. The lottery Issue is,
of course, the only cause Of the trouble
The McEnery faction is understood to favor
the amendment extending the charter of
the Louisiana Lottery Company twenty five
years. The Foster faction is outspoken in
its hostility to the lottery amendment, and
it has the support Of the ministers and all
others who sincerely desire to see the bust
ness Of the lottery company stopped.
1t may be assumed as settled, therefore,
that the two democratic tickets will remain In
the field and that the McEnery faction will
win the election, provided tho republicans
| do not adjust their differences and unite In
support of one ticket. But IL the repub-
licans get together and make a vigorous
campaign there is a chance that they will
| get control of the state, however much
money the lottery company may spend to
elect the MoEnery ticket. And it is proba-
BILE that thelottery company would not OBJ
jeot to the success OF the Republican party.
republican legislature granted the origi-
nal lottery charter, and 1t is probable the
Republican party Of the state could be de-
pended upon to do about what the lottery
company would like to have done at the
present time.

Chila,s Fair Promises.


Chile Is not spsring In her promises 70 do
what is right in the matter OF the demands
OF this country 10 the Baltimore affair, but
she Is very slow IN making up her mind as
20 what she thinks is right II there vas
ever any doubt IN the minds Of the people
of this country that the attack upon the
Baltimore's crew was deliberate and pre-
concerted one, the incident Of the stoning
Of the gig Of Commander Evans at Valpar-
also on last Friday. and reported in our dis
patches yesterday, is sufficient 60 remove it.
That incident shows that the feeling toward
the American sailors at Valparaiso is very
bitter, and that even the authorities are not
able 20 keep IL within bounds.
The Chilean authorities at Valparaiso
are now doing what they can TO prevent
hostile demonstrations toward the sailors OK
the American war vessels in the harbor Of
that city, bee iuse they understand the con-
sequences Of their failure to do so, but 1t is
quite certain that they were not active in
protecting the American sailors at, and
prior TO, the time OF the attack upon the
crew Of the Baltimore. Indeed, the testi-
mony Of the sailors OF the Baltimore, which
clearly that the hostility in Valparaiso to
everybody wearing the uniform Of the
American navy was shared by about all
classes of the people. Even the doctors
who attended the wounded sailors in the
hospitals were not free from 1t.
Chile would like, OF course, to have the
trouble settled peaceably, because she would
be the sufferer il there were a resort to
arms, and she would like 10 avoid making
an apology. She can avoid war, but it
does not look as If she can avoid apologize
ing. She pretends that her courts are try
ing to place the responsibility for the out
rage on the Baltimore's crew where 1t be-
longs, but they are not making much head
way, and their finding thus far is not in
harmony with the testimony given by the
Baltimore's sailors. Still, Secretary Blaine
and Minister Montt continue to talk peace,
and there is no reason TO doubt that there
will be peace. The army and navy officers
talk war. but they are not being consulted
in the matter.
The stouing Of Commander Evans gig
has had the effect undoubtedly Of making
this government firmer in its demands for
an apology aud reparation, because it sus-
tains the position taken by this government
that the attack on the Baltimores crew was
the result OF a conspiracy.
While the whole country would oppose
doing Chile an injustice the feeling is strong
that she has done this country an injury,
and that she must do what she can TO repair
It. At present it does not look as If this
country could take any other course than in
sist upon prompt compliance with the de-
mands it has made.

How Women Vote.

The women voted for school commissioner in
district No recently, says the Elmira az. "
Gazette a reporter stopped in and asked a
few questions as TO how the ladies' managed It.
The first lady the reporter questioned startled
him with the reply:
20 have we got to tell everybody how we
% no; certainly not. I wouldn't have you
tell me for the world It's against the law, y
said the reporter.
20 well, then don't care who knows how
vote y and with that the lady unrolled small
bundle OF paper and cautiously extracted q
folded up and pressed out with hot fat iron
There 1t is, and she held up triumphantly
before the reporters eyes ticket with John
K. Joslyn's name on.
porter.
well, don't know"
PERHAPS it is because he is better looking
than DR.. Parke in your estmation."
Now, that isn't IL at ell e"
Then perhaps you admire his politics."
NO, that isn't IL either. Mrs. said she
was going TO vote for Mr.. JOsyn because his
family lived near hers, ana l thought | would,
too"
The lady then carefully arranged her hat.
took the ballot in her hand as daintily as IL she
were picking bon bon out OF box and handed
II to the teller.
Next came a lady who was in hurry aud said
she had TO vote right away so she could hurry
back home to get supper. A lady in hurry is
q NAASciOus LulHs 70 hottest or oppose, anu All
the men down in district No. seem to agree on
that point. They all made way for her without
saying word, and she handed in her ballot and
got away so quickly that she was nearly home
by the time the teller had shouted out: Name,
pleased"
The next woman was ready with her name
and gave it simultaneously with her ballot.
"Number, please" asked the teller
20, now. you are just like those horrid tele-
| phone girls Every time any one rings the bell
| they shout out. Number please. l have just
| got good mind not to tell you"
Then you can't vote. "
That proved too strong an argument and the
| lady gave up her number.
| one thing that rather nonplussed the tellers
was woman who gave her name as so and so
| and the very next one gave the same name and
| tue same address 1t was evident, however
that the tellers didn't want to get into any
| argument over it, and they took the ballot and
| deposited 1t without asking any questions
One thing noticeable was that the women al
come in cliques, usually six or eigot together
and they all lived neighoors. The way one
voted they all voted. The majority Of the
| women held their ballots wide open. although
| once in while one would be found folded up Z
the smallness Of a postage stamp. The women
! all seemed to enjoy voting, which was evi
| denced by the statement of one who said she
would like to stick in two or three ballots.

Col Powell Clayton, who owns the baili-
wick OF Arkansas as far as dispensing re-
publican patronage is concerned, has been
talking to a Washington newspaper man
about politics in the south. Clayton says
Harrison 10 the favorite with his party In
the south. Speaking OF the opposition he
said: There is going to be considerable
friction among democrats on the silver
question, but they will get together by
election day, as they always will do as long
as there is an office in sight. They are too
near the promised land to permit little
things like the tariff and free silver to di-
vide them" Clayton's assertion that the
democracy of the south would prostitute
principle for office isn't worth a thought
but when he announces that the party will
"get together by election day." he is abso-
lutelY correct
