ORGANIZING TIE WELSH.

Democrats to Do Evangelist Work Among
Them, Under Chairman Harrity.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 30.-[ peeidl. IA
Welsh Democratic organization is to be
formed in every Welsh settlement of this
State, in the shape of Welsh Jeffersonian
clubs. The first step toward this end will
be the formation of a Welsh Democratic
State Committee. John E. Owens, Presi-
dent of the Welsh Jeffersonian Club of
New York, and who is the only Welsh
Democratic campaign speaker IN the coun-
try, was in the city to-day to see National
Chairman Harrity in reference to organiz-
ing Democratic clubs among the Welshmen
of Pennsylvania.
'There is" said Mr. Owens, Gin this
State Welsh population OF 210. 94S Fully
Sc 900 of these are voters, over 80 per cent
of whom vote the Republican ticket. One
of the reasons for this is that Democratic
principles have never been properly ex-
planned in the majority of Welsh hamlets.
Then again, the Welsh have an opinion
that the Republican party of this country
is the Liberal party of England and
Wales. This is the most erroneous belief.
1t is to dispel these incorrect views, and
to disseminate Democratic principles among
the Welsh, that these, clubs are to be
formed. Every State in the Union is to
be thus organized"
Mr.. Harrity is very much in favor of
the movement, and will do all in his
power to help the project along.

When NJ. Desire Charnay visited Prince
Mancou-Nagoro in Java, he was enter; aimed
by a conceH given by his hosts orchestra
of 60 pieces Mancou-Nagoro was the
fourth Prince by his name. The orchestra
was founded by the first Mancou-Nagoro.
1t is greatly admired by the Japanese. The
musicians wore black gowns and turbans,
writes NJ. Charnay. The instruments were
apparently copper pots of all shapes and
sizes, from one large enough to boil two
eggs to the largest kettles.
There were also sets of copper plates,
from two INCHES to three feet IN length,
mounted on seulptured bronze stands.
Wooden plates were arranged similarly.
There we're gongs from ten inches to SIX
feet in diameter and queerly shaped two
stringed yiolins. Each musician had sticks
with rubber ends to strike the instruments.
On a signal from the Prince the concert
began The music was a combination of
remarkable sounds. Some were soft, sill
very aad plaintive, as heard amid the roar
ing of the gongs. Sometimes beautiful
melody could be heard, but in general the
performance impressed me as one prolonged
wonderful discord. From time to time the
piercing voices Of the women singers Joined
in this melancholy music. One might easily
have taken the bIack-robed musicians for
mourners and the performance for funeral
service.
The Prince listened delightedly, beat
time, and looked at me with proud glance
that seemed to say: "Did you ever hear
more beautiful"

Those Who Wrote Over Masculine sigma
lures Kept Their Identity Hidden.
''There has been, and there still goes on,
much talk inregard to what Is termed sex
in art; but nobody among the glib speakers
on the subject has ever accounted for one
fact-a very puzzling fact, too. if their
dictum must be accepted as sincontrovertiDle
TRUTH" writes Frank Lee Benedict, in ga
Famous American Author" in The Nea0
Peterson. 'tIt is matter of record that not
one of the various women writers who
within the last fifty years have in turn
made their work famous over masculine
signatures was suspected by any reviewer
of being a woman until she or her friends
allowed her identity to become known TO
the public at large.
''This was true in the case of George
Sand, then of Currer Bell, George Eliot,
and others in England and lately of beyy
of American women, Octave Thanet among
them.
"a striking feature in the productions of
all these women is the truth and fidelity
with which their male characters are de-
picted. Their power in this regard cannot
be denied by the narrowest-ininded rem
nant OF prejudice TO be found among the
fossils OF the male sex, any more than any
one can dispute the fact that mauy OF the
heroines even OF great men novelists are
either utterly impossible creatures, else so
bloodless and faint that they are mere
shadows, often as distorted or unnatural as
those which a Pickering fire casts on a
neighboring wall. -

Both Bridegrooms of Double Wedding

CHILLICoTHE, Dec. 30-Two weeks ago
two men and two ladies appeared at the
Marcum House, in this city, and registered
as Joseph Stormes and wife and William
f. Stormes and wife, Chicago. Their
movements aroused suspicion. A few days
later the city marshal here was informed that
Charles F. Conners and w. F. Hesseltine
were wanted at Bethany to answer to the
charge of forgery. Conners' father had
considerable money in a Bethany
bank The son and Hesseltne
concluded to get married TO two Bethany
girls. They succeeded by forging the name
of the elder Conners to checks on the bank
where he had deposited his money. The
quartet then left and turned up at Chilli
cothe, where they registered at the hotel
under assumed names.
Hesseltine concluded to return to Beth
any and put in another check, the amount
being $3.50. The cashier told him he
wanted to look at the account, and asked
him to call later. He did not call,
but was arrested the following day. This
morning the rest of the gang, including
young Conners, with the women, were ar
rested here as accomplices and taken to
Bethany, thus ending the honeymoon.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
HARRISBURG, Dec. 3O.-The story of the
Speakership fight as sent out last night
might be duplicated tonight without
change, and cover every bit of news that is
to be found There are so few Senators and
members here that candidates for Speaker
and other offices find time hangs heavy on
their hands.
Ex-Speaker Thompson, who is conceded
to have the gavel in his grasp, is estao-
lished at the Lochiel Hotel, where several
lesser lights are also nursing their booms.
Among them are Cochrane, of Armstrong;
Bliss, of Delaware, and Farr, of Lacka7
wanna.
Representative Walton, of Philadelphia,
is at the Commonwealth, where he has
opened headquarters. He says he IS III the
fight anu will remain until the end. Not
withstanding his cheerful view OF the out
look with respect to himself, the better-in-
formed politicians here do not bank much
on his chances of success They say
Charles E. Voorhees, is the favorite of the
Philadelphia delegation for Chief Clerk,
and that Mr.. Walton cannot expect to
secure the honor he seeks. Congressman
John 3. Robinson, an alleged candidate for
United States Senator, arrived tonight and
opened headquarters at the Lochiel Hotel.
He will be assisted by Senator Baker, of
Delaware, his old-time opponent, who has
decided to let bygone5 be bygones
A. D. Fetterolf, of Montgomery, is still
in the fight for Chief Clerk OF the House,
and speaks confidently Of the outcome, not
standing the apparent overwhelming lead
of Voorhees, Representative Samuel A.
Losch, OF ocnuylkill, is here and denies
that he Is to lead the anti-Quav movement,
He suggests, however, that he will be
free lance.
During tomorrow most of the members
of the Legislature will arrive, when the
political atmosphere here about the capital
will clear and show the real situation.

tons of merchandise, which they sell to the
wholesale rag dealers for some 20, 900 francs,

the lantern flngs sheet of light, and what
ever they find in the way of paper, rags,
bones, grease, metal, ETC., they stow away
in their baskets. In the morning, in front

A STATE LOAN COMMISSION
Likely to Be Favored by the New Populist

Likely to Be Favored by the New POpulist
Governor of Kansas.
TOPEKA, KAN, Dec 30.-It is stated by
Populist very near to Governor-elect
Lewelling that the Governors inaugural
address will advocate the creation of a State
loan commission. Said this Populist to-
dav: ''The Governor understands, as we
all do, that every year, no less in Kansas
than in every other State, thousands of in
dustrious citizens are made homeless by
foreclosures of mortgages. This is largely
due to high rates of interest and brokers'
charges A loan commission composed of
conservative men would be able to place
loans through the agency of the County
Commissions in the various counties
''If thought advisable the counties might
guarantee the loans to the lenders, and thus
the mortgage would be secure. Mortgage
loans thus guaranteed by the State would
make it easy to obtain loans from the eapit-
alists of the East at a very low rate of inter-
est The expense of the commission would
be paid by the borrower. and this charge
would be only small fraction of the enor-
nous sum they annually pay brokers' -

And dis Whole Force to Be Pulled In If

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3d. Special l.
The controversy which has been going on
for some time past between the Criminal
District Court and the District-Attorney on
one side, and the Mayor, Chief of
Police, and Police Department on the
other, over the Sunday law, cuI-
minated to-day in the arrest of
Chief oi Police Caster by deputy sheriff
OIL an information of the District Attorney
The latter insists that the law requires the
police to arrest all violators of the Sunday
law, which has been openly violated here
for months past. The police force. acting
under instructions from the Mayor, have
refused to make arrests, and have simply
notified the Criminal Court of violations of
the law.
The District Attorney threatens to have
the Mayor and the entire police force
arrested unless they obey the law, and led
off to-day with the arrest of the Chief, who
gave the necessary bond and was released.
The law is specific enough, but has been
openly defed and is opposed by the great
majority of the people. The contest be-
tween the two departments, criminal and
municipal, promises to be a savage and in
teresting one.

EXPERIMENTS IN HIGH AIR.


The Most Remarkable Were Conducted
Nearly 100 Years Ago.
st. Louis Republic.l
Nearly 100 years ago, in 1894, M. Bolt
and Gay-Lussac, the pioneer balloonists, con-
Quoted the most remarkable series of high
air experience ever known. Although
ballooning was in its infancy at the time,
the facts proven by those intrepid naviga-
tors of the air have been of inestimable
value to all later investigators.
They took domestic animals and birds OF
various kinds along with them for the pur-
pose of taking notes on the effect which
the extreme cold and rariied air would
have on such creatures. They were also
well provided with various scientific in
struments and othe suitable appar-
atus. The first experimental ascension
carried them and their cargo to height of
$1,000 feet. At 5000 feet the animals and
birds seemed to be in a normal condition;
at 10000 feet all were breathing very
rapidly. When the barometer showed that
height of Il, 900 feet had been attained
pigeon svas liberated, or. rather, thrown
from the basket, for it fell like lump of
lead, being utterly unable to flap wing on
account of the rarified state of the air at
that altitude. Gav-Lussac had a normal
pulse beat of 81 per minute; at 1000 leet
that had increased to So When on terra
frma Bolts beat at 79 per minute and Ill
when the II, ,000- loot level was reached.
During the same season Gay-Lussac made
an ascension alone in which he reached q
height twice that from which he dropped
the pigeon, or about an even $4,000 feet.
This ascension was made from one of the
many pleasure resorts of Paris, in the heat
of summer. When be quilted the earth the
Fahrenheit thermometer registered 800 in
the shade; within an hour he was in an at
mosphere that showed a pressure of IS
inches on his barometer, while the ther-
mometer marked 1870 degrees below zero.
The lack OF atmospheric pressure caused
the blood to flow from his eyes, nose, mouth
and ears, an the extreme cold gave him
ligor from which he never fully recovered.

ST. LOUIS ICE GORGE.

Warmer Weather Loosens 1t, but 1t Soon
Lodges i gain.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 30-Warmer weather to-
day and tonight loosened the gorge in the
river here and it partly broke, floating
down 100 feet and lodging again. This
time the river, damned up by the back
water, put the gauge up to six feet with
prospects of further rise unless the gorge
breaks The grinding of the ice caused
considerable alarming noise, but no great
damage has been done so far.
Owners of boats have taken every pre-
caution against damage, and all floating
property is thought to be safe from any
movement of the ice. By the movement of
the ice the Anchor Line wharf boat stages
were twisted and the wheels of the
stages torn away. The harbor dump
boat was showed out on the wharf and a
sand float was pushed out on the bank.
Barge 45, of the St Louis and Mississippi
Valley Barge Line, was carried away from
her tastenings and now lies in the middle of
the river right in front of the gorge of ice.
