POLITICAL.
Re0rgauized Democracy Yields TO
the State Central Committee.
Those Who Opposed the Change-Ths Change
in Republican Inspectors for the Prim-
aries-Club Notes.

There was prolonged debate last night
at the meeting of the executive committee
of the Democratic Reorganization Commit
tee, on q motion 10 reconsider the former
action In reference 10 the amendments
suggested by the State Central Committee.
The meeting finally capitulated and ad-
miited the authority of the State organiza-
ton.
Barry Baldwin presided and steeTed the
committee through an angry sea of conflict
ing motions and amendments. Speeches
were made by dozen members. and IL was
soon apparent that the light enrolment on
Saturday had had the effect OF making the
reorganizers submissive to the official
mandates of the State Central Committee.
A rollcall developed % votes for 4 reconsid-
Grafton aud IL against
j. j. Dwyer. Judge j. V. COffey. Colonel
Thomas Barry. William Frederick and ex-
Judge Sullivan were among those who
argued in favor of maintaining the policy
of the reerganizers along the original lines.
Submission TO the State Central Committee
was MS firmly urged by Gavin McNab.
ex-Judge Mcguire, J. H. Wise, +. L.
Hoburg. p. Nj. Wellin and j. ID. Condor.
Mr.. Condor stated that he had been pres
ent AT IXora Hail last Saturday night and
that only one man, John Wilkins, had pre-
seuted himself for enrolment. lie had
since learned that in his enthusiasm MIR.
wilkins had enrolled his name In number
of district committees on the same evening.
Mr.. Dwyer said that if the reorCanizers
after shouting for four months for no COM
promise should now lay down their arms
the public would believe there had been a
trade and that the machine element was
again in control of the party.
Gavin McNab thought that the time had
come to reorganZe or diSoTgsDiZe, The
committee claimed that nne-tenthS of the
Demo rats were with it and yet was afraid
TO allow the people TO select their own
officers.
Colonel Thomas Barry eontended that the
enrolment had not been failure. adding
that ''the people whom buckley placed on
the State Central Committee now ask us to
accent amendments under the guiSe of the
pariy'S welfare, but their real object is TO
destroy us.
EX-Judge Mcguire stated that % out of
every 100 Democrats condemned the re-
organization committee for its failure TO
lead the party under the terms laid down
by the State Central Committee. which it
was the duty of tlie former 10 accept.
Ii was finally agreed by ajority vote,
about IL 30 O'Clock, that the amendments
of the State Central Committee should be
submitted to tie district committees with
recommendations for their adoption.

time the two forces met, the Romans were
swept aside like the sands of the desert in q
simoom Try as the would, the famous
fighting men of the ruling Government of
the world, could offer no resistance to the
myriads of Teutons and Cimbri that bore
down npon them. Old Marius, however,
was equal to the emergency. His military
skill enabled him to meet strength with
strategy, and he defeated with crushing
effect. the flower of the Teuton armies and
practically changed the history of the
world
Had the Teutons defeated Marius, Rome
would have been destroyed. There would
have been no future opportunities for
Caesar, Pompey or Sulla and the romance
of history would have been robbed of some
of its most heroic and interesting charac-
ters. AK has not been the scene of any
such important historical event since, but
the name has been frequently seen IN print
lately on account of its Roman Catholic
Bishop, the Mgr Xavier Gouthc-Soulard's
refusal to comply with the order of the
French Government, forbidding archbishops
leaving their diocese without permission.
He was arrested, tried for the offense and
fined, but the sensation the affair created
throughout France and the world and the
general sympathy extended the Archbishop,
indicated victory instead of defeat. 1t
is likely the affair will have considerable
influence on the policy of the French Gov
ernment in dealing with the religious ques-
tion in the future. Such a demonstration
as was made in this venerable ecclesiastic's
case makes deeper consideration of the SUBJ
ject imperative.

Prince OF Teck and an eminent member Of
the royal house of Germany. The last
report is likely true, as it has been semi.
officially announced by persons in position

The gossips may now set to work with
suggestions of how the affair has been ar
ranged. There are many who would like
to know how the religious differences have
been briGged over. It is difficult to con-
ceive that. Queen Victoria would give her
consent to one Of her granddaughters going
over to the Roman Catholic faith, and it is
certain that the Prince of Naples will not
adopt the English Church as his own.

GUESSING A WRITER'S SEX.
Controversy Between Richard Harding
Davis and Charles d. Gibson.

DAVIS 9Dd Charles ID. Gibson.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcHJ
People who are interested in Richard
Harding Davis will like to know that
the handsome athletic young man, with the
smooth-shaven face and square chin with a
cleft in it, that Charles D. Gibson is so fond
of putting into his illustrations is Richard
Davis, and Richard Davis capitaIly drawn
at that When the s.Anglomaniacs' was
running in one of the magazines, Gibson
chose Richard Davis as the original of the
striking picture of Lord Nelrose. At that
time the author of the brilliant story was
still a matter of conjecture, and opinion was
evenly divided as to whether it was q man
or a woman.
Gibson had just made an illustration for
the story with Richard Davis Gas Lord Mel
rose) walking down Fifth avenue with the
young woman of the story. He had put on
the young Englishman sack coat and a
silk hat. The sketches were submitted to
the unknown autho. and returned with
the criticism that no careful man, especially
if he were an Englishman, would walk
down the fashionable street in a sack coat
and silk hat in the morning, which was the
time designated in the story
Mr.. Gibson told Mr.. Davis of the criti-
cism and asked, 'sNow what does that indi-
cate to you as to the authorship-is it man
or O woman?"

woman would not be likely to know such a
little point in etiquette as that
ga woman" hazarded Mr. Gibson;
"women know all about such little thing S,
and no one but woman would care"
The sequel proved that Gibson was right.

Tumnay Isn't Saving q Word.

England is at present disturbed by an
under-current effort, intended to install
Albert Edward as Prince Regent. No one
knows how the report originated or how
much truth is contained in it. Many per-
sons think the Queen little too well up in
years to administer the affairs of Govern
ment properly, but, nevertheless, a sug-
gestion that she be displaced is considered
somewhat brutal and not likely to receive
the support of the majority of the nation.
What the Prince OF Wales thinks of the
move in his behalf is not stated, but he
takes such good care to give no expression
to his views on the subject that it is tacitly
agreed in some circles that he is Gin the
hands of his friends to be disposed Of as
they think fit.
This reminds me that during the reign of
the two Hanoverian Kings it wos the Gus
tom to appoint regents every time the
monarch went outside his domin1ons How
the custom fell into disuse is unknown.

The Dense FOES of London.


The recent great fog in London lasted
four days, and during that time more than
80 persons are said to have wandered off
the docks into the river and drowned. 1t
is difficult to imagine mist as dense as all
that, although Pittsburg has had some ex-
perience with fogs herself But we are
taught to believe that the worst that we
have here are not to be compared with those
of London at all. A London fog is pecu-
liar natural phenomenon, and has come to
be considered distinctive. Scientists have
found three different kinds of more or less
severity. George Catlin, the artist, who re-
sided III London for some years, once said
that he had seen fog so thick that in mid
day man walking could no more discern
his knees than if he were immersed in ink
This seems hard to believe, but there is no
questioning the truth. Londoners and
travellers tell US that in broad daylight,
with all the lamps lighted in the streets
and houses, it is no uncommon experience
to be unable to see 80 inches distant The
people grope their way along the houses.
A street lamp can hardly be seen when
standing directly beneath it. Business is
generally suspended, and the sidewalks be-
come crowded with groups Of men and
women afraid to move and anXiously Won
dering how they Will reach their homes
Coachmen lead their horses. Pedestrians
dare not cross the streets. Shouts, oaths,
inquiries, cries of distress and shrieks for
help are heard-on all sides.
On January 21, 1865 the density of the
fog was so extraordinary during the morn
ing hours that in TIE streets where there
were spiendidly lighted windows one could
not see the ground when erect, nor objects
two feet away. When the shops were
closed it was utterly impossible to see any
thing. Midway between street lamps,
standing within 40 feet of each other and
burning brightly all the time, it was i'm
possible to locate either. Lines of link
men stretching for miles were stationed
within eight feet Of each other, but even

The Grave Of Mrs. livingstone.

There is movement on foot to bring to
England the body of the wife of Explorer
David Livingstone. 1t has lain in lonely
grave in the African wilderness these 80
years past 1t would hardly be possible to
place the remains beside those of the hus-
band in Westminster Abbey, but they can
at least rest nearer the beloved one whose
perilous fortunes she shared 50 faithfully.
Mrs. Livingstone endured but six years of
the trials and privations of the explorers
life, but in that short time she abundantly
proved her courage and determination to be
every bit the equal of her husband. 1t is
not enough that the bones of DR.. Living
stone lie among the greatest of the great in
grand old Westminster. The remains of
the wife should be close at hand, instead of
far away in the heart of an African jungle.
Indeed, believe the disposition made of
the great explorers body was direct con-
tradiction of his expressed wishes. In his
journal many opinions and references to his
desires are made. In one place, bearing date
of June %, 1868, is the following:
This is the sort of grave should prefer;
to lie in the still, still forest, and no hand
ever disturb my bones. The graves at homo
always seemed to me to be miserable, espe-
ciallY those in the cold, damp clay, and
without elbow room; but, have nothing to
DO but to wait till He who is over all de-
cides where have to lay me down and die.
Poor Mary lies on Sheepanga brae.
That wish for quiet and humble reposs
has never been fulfilled. Mrs. Living
stones grave is located near the home she
occupied for some time during her sojourn
in Africa. A great baobab tree, one of the
largest in the country round, stands along
side the mound, but does not shade or OBJ
scure it half SO well as the shrubs, grass and
tangled briars that are matted above and
nearly conceal it from view

LENGTH OF IMPRISONMENT.
The Sentence for Life and for the Term OF n
Mans Nai ural Lie.


There is distinction and also difference
between Imprisonment for life and imprison-
ment for the term of g mans natural life
says criminal lawyer in the st. Louis
Glo5e-Dcmocrat. Literally the latter means
that the prisoner must be confined until lib
Grated by death, while in the case of the
former the condemned only serves the
average term of life he may reasonably ex-
pect, and as determined by actuarial tables.
A man who gets lie sentence at 40 is
nearly sure to be at liberty by the time he
is 55, provided he lives as long, while the
man who is similarly sentenced at 90 will be
out long before he is 40.
A glance over the records of the State
Penitentiary will show how verv few men
have served more than 10 years, pardon,
death, escape or release on good behavior
intervening within that period. In Euro
pean countries, where pardons are very sell
dom granted, men frequently serve 20 and
even 80 years, but the average is very much
lower in America

Forty saysges Shake the World.

The telegraph reported few days since
that the natives of Pahang, state of the
Malayan Peninsula, had rebelled against
British rule. No doubt John Bull made a
rush for his portfolio on hearing this news,
to estimate the extent of the new danger
threatening the Empire, but was reassured
on discovering that the entire province of
Pahang, including its capital city, has a
population of only 40 wild. half-starved
and poorly armed savages.
am sure it cost good many dollars to
cable the story from abroad, and it would
seem to even the inexperienced that the
cable managers are rather poorly informed
on geographical matters, or they would
have put their property to better use than
creating the impression through free use
of sensational sentences, that the peace of
the English nation was seriously threatened
by a fresh complication, when, in fact, the
matter was so trivial. ,WILKIE
