When people lose their temper they are apt to say things that are contradictory. Two New York gen. tlemen got into quarrel at their club. Finally one of them who be- lieves in the code, said excitedly "You are low blackguard and ar urmitigated scoundrei. Now, sir, if you are a gentleman and man of honor, you know what you have to do. Here is my card. Texas Siftings.

\ Master of the Air.


 Mansfield of the Royal Naval Re. serve. He made his ascent from the Victoria Gardens recently, sit. ting on a trapeze immediately be- meath the balloon, to which was at tached a parachute of the newest fashion. The whole rose to height which rendered even the big balloon itself scarcely visible in the cloud less sky. It was now, as appears from this brave seaman's narrative, at an altitude of II 400 feet, or more than two miles, commanding a vast horizon; but the voyager's hands were so numbed that he was be- coming unable to feel the cords. Then, says Lieut.. Mansfield. "Find- ing my apparatus all clear, I took the balloon ring in my right hand, drew myself clear of the trapeze, and dropped into space" After de- scending with terrible velocity for some distance the parachute began to open. At 1O,20O feet he was fall ing at great speed, but was fully able to control the apparatus. At 10000 feet he was sailing down calmly into space. Then he drift ed to and fro in various counter currents, and at ,000 feet felt the heat from a long, red, iron chim- ney.
 Now comes the more remarkable part of the narrative "Steering my parachute he continues) to the eastward, I dropped her readily to clear the buildings ahead, and, sec ing nothing but houses to descend on, I selected the flattest I could find, and dropped gently down on it." A spectator who watched the voyage from the gardens gave a vivid account of straining the eyes till he was just able to discern a tiny white speck in the sky. After what seemed a terrible length of time, Lieut.. Mansfield became visi- ble swinging under the parachute, and working the valve linesso is to insure a safe landing when he chose to make it.
 "Such a complete master of the air (says this eyewitness) has never been seen before in this country" The balloon fell, as was intended, in the sea, where being fitted with cork belts for the purpose, it was easily Lieut.. Mansfield, who looks for great advantages from his manageable parachute in naval operations, has announced that his next ascent will be with an entirely new apparatus specially adapted to military warfare.-London Inven- ion.

Harrison and Ills Three Issues.

: It is accepted by Republicans a : a foregone conclusion that they vii : be unable to nominate anyone ex cept Mir, Harrison as their Presi
 dential candidate. There seems
 too, to be good reason for their hope
 lessness. Messrs. Elkins and Eos
 ter will control the Southern dele
 gatiors completely. Except il
 Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado and Missouri the Federal office
 holders seem to have everywhere captured the party machinery. Quay in Pennsylvania, Platt in New York and Filley in Missouri are still hold ing out for terms of surrender, and the President is so confident of re- nomination that he is treating Messrs. Filley and Quay with open insult. He has not yet come to fi- nal rupture with Platt, whom he will doubtless placate if he needs him. Colorado opposition will not count, for it is Republican tenet that it makes no difference about Colorado, as it is sure to vote the Republican ticket anyway.
 If, then, we accept the nomina- ton of MT. Harrison as inevitable, it follows that the Republican party will enter the campaign on three main issues. It will champion:
 First-The principle of prohibi- tive taxation to excluded wealth produced abroad-the principle of the Mckinley bill.
 Second-The use of gold only in exchange, and the principle of an increasing premium on gold and decreasing prices for all exports -the principle of the Administra- ton Bullion Storage bill,
 Third-The use of the power of District of Columbia officeholders to control elections in the States through returning boards and the employment of the army at the polls-a bayonet in front of every ballot-the principle of the Admin istration Force bill.
 None of these issues can be ayoid- ed by the Republicans with Mir. Harrison as a candidate. It would be gross cowardice in them to nom- mate him on any platform which did not give him full support in all three of them, but if the plat form should attempt evasion: Mr. Harrison is so committed to the af- firmatlve on all three of these is- sues against free and popular gov ernment that he cannot recede. In addition to attempting to maintain the affirmative on these main lines, the Republicans must defend the corporation subsidy ideas advo- cated by MT. Harrison, the enor- nous incrSase in the expenditures of his administration over any oth- CT since the war; his innovation of levying taxes on the people by pro- clamation, and many other such like features of one of the most de- administrations the country has ever had.
 It is we'll enough for the Demo- crats that MT. Harrison is to be re- nominated, for if they cannot beat him, they are no longer in position to beat anyone, And it is we'll enough for the Republicans also, for if they can elect Harrison on his record, they will know that they can do anything they please in this ,ountry.-St. Louis Republic.

A Famous Scotch Regiment.

The first battalion of the Argyll and
Sutherland Highlanders (01), after see
ing thirteen years of foreign service
have just come home from Hong Kong
The regiment is famous one, having
been formed SO far back as 1894 at Sterl-
irg by Col. Duncan Campbell, of Loch-
nell. The mon were long known as the
Campbell Highlanders." Among the
many memorable events in it's history
are the laundering of the Birl1enhead,
forty-four members of the regiment
being among the drowned, and the
fact that it was stationed at
st. Helena when the body of Napo-
leon 1. was removed to Paris and
took part in the disinterment. In
1910 the gallant Nincty-frst" were on

THE ONLYwoMAN FREE MASON.
Size Was Made q Member OF the Order to
Preserve It's Secrets.


Preserve Its Secrets.
The only female free mason in the
world lives in Oakland, Cal, at No. 572
Tenth street. Her name is Mrs. Salome
Anderson, and her portrait adorns the
temple of Live Oak lodge, No. 81, where
it is placed in @ position of honor among
the pictures of the past masters.
The story of how she became one of
the craftsmen is interesting She was
born in Alsace-Lorraine in 1918, and
becoming an orphan at an early age
she went to Paris to reside with her
uncle, who was a Jealous and promi-
ncnt mason. The lodge meetings were
held in his house, and with thS curiosity
of her sex she concealed herself in the
room during a couple of the sessions,
and thus learned some of the mysteries
of the order.
She was, however, caught while thus
hiding, and the secrets that she had dis
covered were then made a sacred trust,
for she was received into the fraternity.
She located in Oakland in 1854, and in
1865 her husband was elected to the city
council, says the San Francisco News
Letter. He died in 1865, and since then
she has devoted herself almost entirely
to charity, her attention being, how
ever, foremostly directed to masonic en-
tCrprises.
She was elected n member of the
board of trustees of the masonic temple,
a circumstance unparalleled in the his
tory of freemasonry. She is also a
clarte member of Garden Gate chapter,
No. 1, Order of the Eastern Star, and is
a member of Oak Leaf chapter, No. 8.

orator, the GLOBE cannot forbear to re-
produce from the Chicago News-Record
the following accurate presentment of
the case. Says the News-Record:
1t is to be hoped that those local newspa-
pers that have caused w. c. P. BREcKIN-
RIDGE, of Kentucky, to decline positively to
deliver the Grafton at the worlds fair dedica-
ton are satisfied now. A more disgraceful
exhibition OF narrow resentment and bad
manners it would be difficult to find than
this same piece of work which has ended in
insult to Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE and humiliation
to Chicago. 1t is readily apparent that the
city's reputation for hospitality has been tar
nished by this business of Safeguarding a
guest because his course as public official
did not please some newspapers of this city.
Not Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE, but Chicago, has
been injured by their malice.
Chicago's narrow intolerance of any
opposition. however honorable and con-
scientious, to its own selfish interests
has more than once disguised the cour-
try. This final ''disgraceful exhibit
tion," as the News-Record correctly
terms it, would indeed be difficult to
parallel.

A BRUTAL TEST.

The continental military race is on a
level with Spanish bull fight. 1t liz
wolves merciless cruelty to horses. Such
exhibitions are essentially degrading,
and not serve any useful purpose.-New
York Tribune.
The society with the long name
doesn't flourish in Germany. Other
wise there wouldn't be SO many dead
horses on the line of the great ride of
the German and Austrian officers from
Berlin to Vienna.-Boston Herald.
The great long-disrance race between
the AuStrians and the Germans has
been won by the former. If killing
horses is regarded as sport, there was
fine sport in this race. Why don't the
military sporting men take to worrying
cats OF batting puppies?-New York
Sun.
To ride horse 353 miles in three days,
increasing, instead of reducing, the dis
lance daily, may he pleasant to the
rider, but the poor, overtaXed horse has
not the intelligence to share in the glory
of the feat. He only knows that he is
tired and sore. And often he dies
Troy Times.
Races like those in the ride of Ger
man and Austrian officers can only be
regarded as brutal test of man and
beast endurance, without comforting
any benefit Oh either as a result The
human races are always disguised and
outraged by such cOntests.-Harrisburg

ANDREW JACKSON'S TESTI.
MONY

In another column of today's GLOBE
Is published an excerpt from the fare
we'll address delivered by ANDREW
JACKSON to the American people pre-
vious to his retirement to private life in
1887.
A half-century has elapsed since this
remarkable document was penned. yet
1t fits into present conditions as adml-
rably as it did into those with which it
was contemporary. Through the gigan-
tic changes of the past half-hundred
years Time ~brings the American COM
monwealth once more face to face with
the problems which confronted it in
1887. The issues as then presented by
"Old Hickory"-peace to his ashes =
are again, and on a broader scale, be-
fore the sutfragiSts Of this country for
adjustment.
Not the ablest advocate of Democratic
principles in this present campaign
could advance those principles in more
ringing, lucid, conclusive and appropri-
ate utterances than those which come to
US from the sepulcher OF the great leader
of fifty years ago. To every voter who
seeks true understanding of the issues
of today the GLOBE commends these ut
terances. They represent the final con-
illusions of master intellect long
trained in public duty. No faint of self
interest can attach to them or to the
character of ANDREW JACKSON. The
full light of history reveals no blemish
on his integrity or patriotism. His
counsels can be trusted-let the nation
heed them.

WORLDS FAIR SUNDAY.

Inc act of congress providing that the
worlds fair must close its doors Sun
days is among the narr0weSt and most
llliberal measures ever enacted by that
body-Baltimore News.
To such working people) people the
privilege cannot be Overestimated,w while
on the other hand, those who disapprove
of going to such place on Sunday are
not deprived of anything they are en-
titled to.-Milwaukee Journal.
Christians need have no fear that
their religion will suffer from the adop-
ton in practical life of the doctrine of
one who held that the Sabbath was
made for man, and who himself dis
stance. The gates of the fair should be-
thrown open in the interest of Christian
lty itself.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Even from the strictest puritanical
view, the cause of God and morality
could gain nothing, but would be likely
to lose much by closing the exposition
while all the saloons, theaters, dance
houses and other places of amusement
in Chicago should remain open on Sun
day. But the Sabbatarians cannot be
expected to relinquish their coerciye
fad for any such consideratiOnS.-Phi
delphia Record.
Bishop Potter is not alone in the atti-
tude he has assumed OH this question.
Bishop Spalding, of the Roman Catholic
church, has placed himself on record as
in favor of what is known as an open
Sunday at the Chicago exposition, and
I there are doubtless many clergymen in
these and other denominations who are
more than willing that this great aggre-
CATION of the choicest products of the
civilized nations of the world shall be
inspected by the people OH their one
day of freedom from labor. Nearly all
the labor organizations of the country
have also spoken III favor of a similar
policy.-PhiIadelphi Times.

THE GLITTER OF DIAMONDS.

Many people have wondered why
WHITELAw REID was nominated for
the vice presidency by the Republicans.
He has for years been snarling, carp
ing foe of all the best men and best en-
deavors of his party. He lampooned
LINCOLN, SHERIDAN, SHERMAN, STAN
TON and HALLECK during the war. He
was sent home from the front for be-
traying the secrets of the Union army
to the enemy. He bolted the nomina-
ton of Gen. GRANT In 1872, denOuncing
the hero OF Appomattox as unfit for the
presidency. What qualifications has
such man, it has been asked, for the
important Office for which he has been
named?
Perhaps the explanation will be found
in an inference from a recent piece of
personal gossip which is going the
rounds of the press. 1t says that
WHITELAw REID has purchased the
great diamond now being cut at Ant
werp. This diamond is among the
largest brilliantS in the world, weigh
ing in its crude form 474 carats. Its
price is not stated, but it must reach an
imperial figure. A man who can buy a
diamond costing sum worthy of an
emperor is an ideal candidate in the
eyes of the Republican party. 1t is a
rich mems club banded together for the
further aggrandizement of the rich.
WHITELAw REID is one of its kind.
But what say the simple, hard-work-
ing folk of Minnesota? Is wealth a
sufficient recommendation in their judg-
ment to entitle man to the highest
honors? In the past they have seemed
to think so. Year after year they have
come up to the polls and voted to put in
power in state and nation the corrupt
crew which has conspired to rob rem.
They have kissed the hand which has

BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.
A Shaggy-Coated Canine Creates
Panic.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16. About
o'clock this evening, an hour when
Chestnut street is generally crowd
ed with people, a small, shaggy
coated dog came around the
corner of Sixth street OH full rrn, and
swapping and snarling as he ran. The
terror. inspiring cry of mad dog was
quickly raised, and every one in the
path OF the animal started for shelter
A little Russian girl selling papers
dog rushed past her he bit her on
the leg. The corner of Eighth and
Chesnu. street is the favorite spot at
nights of the sporting fraternity from
Gloucester race track. All efforts of
the police to keep them off the corner
has been Intellectual, but the little dog
had the corner to himself in less time
than squad OF officers co uld
have cleared it. Before the
crowd could scatter. however. the
dog had bitten nearly dozen men. He
then started up the street again, but
within square John Boyd, Charles
Ehringer. treasurer of the Empire thea
ter. William Ii. Boxer, DR.. f. B. Hazel
and Smires were all bitten by the dog.
AT Ninth street the dog stopped for an
instant, and Officer Jones, seizing the
opportunity, ran at the animal and
struck it upon the head with his club,
stunning it. Picking the animal up the
officer placed him beneath the wheels
OF passing car and the life was
crushed out of it. Only the names of
those given above could be obtained,
as all the bitten people haStened away
to the nearest doctor to have their
wounds cauteriZed.

POWERFUL INTERESTS COM

To Effect Legislation Oppressiv

To Effect Legislation Oppressive
to agriculture and to Labor.
Plain as these principles appear to be,
you will find that there is constant eff
fort to induce the general government
to go beyond the limits of its taxing
power. and to impose unnecessary bur-
dens upon the people. Many powerful
interests are continually at work to
procure heavO duties OH commerce, and
TO swell the revenue beyond the real
necessities of the public service; and
the country has already telt the in
furious effects of their combined infu-
ence. They succeeded in obtaining a
tariff of duties bearing most Cypress
lively on the agricultural and Iaboring
classes of society, and producing a rev.
enue that could not be usefully en-
ployed within the range of the powers
conferred upon Z congress-; and. in
order to fasten upon the people
this unjust and unequal system
OF taxation, eXtrayagant schemes of in
ternal imp ovement were got up, In
various quarters, to squander the money
and to purchase support. Thus, one
unconstitutional measure was intended
to be upheld by another, and the abuse
of the power of taxation was to be main
tanned by usurplng the power of ex-
pending the money in internal improve
mentS.
