1890
After working an entire week, the
McEnery aud Foster State Central
Committees have finally agreed upon a
settlement, whereby thele will be but
one Democratic ticket in the field at
the coming el elton. Ine two tickets
will be voted on at a primary election
of the white Democratic voters of the
State, to be held on the 22nd das of
March, 1892, throughout the State, and
the ticket receiving the largest number
vf votes will be declared the tie ket of
the Democratic party.
The McEIely committee adopttd
and ratified the adjustment on Friday
night, when it was submitted To it, but
the Foster committee did not indorse
the conferrees' action ntil almost 9
o'clock last night, after thirteen hours
of discussion thereon. For a time yes
terday, it looked as ii the Fosterltes
would not acceptthe proposition. The
city contingent of that party OPP
posed it , us entirety, but when it be-
cane evident that the country members
we've in the majority, and would adopt
it, these radical members were COM
PEELED to submit, and the matter was
adopted.
The compromise calls for a commit
tee of seven to supervise the primary
election, three members from each side
and the fourth to be selected by the
six members. Col. Jobu S. Young
has been selected as the seventh man,
chairman. The McEnery faction BIAS
selected Col. A. W. Crandell and
Messrs John Fitzpatrick and Chas. A
Butler. The Foster faction will not
appoint its committee until to-mor-
row. The committee will meet at the
st. Charles Hotel to morrow aud ar
range for the coming election.

visitor. and the Chinese Emperor.

Until the present generation our min
listers have never been received by the
emperor in person. The Chinese have
fought against such receptions as sacri-
leeious. In 1878, however, the foreign
ministers forced the emperor to receive
them, and in 1891 the new emperor gave
his first receptions to the. foreign, diplo-
mats. He probably will have to do this
many times in the future l have re-
ceived letter from China describing
this reception and saying that it had
great influence on the Chinese at Picking.
It shows the people that these so called
tribute bearers" are worthy of notice
and makes them respect our ministers.
+ The last emperor wanted the diplo-
mats to go down on their knees and
bump their heads against the floor nine
times in front of the emperor, as the
Chinese do, but they refused to do this,
and no attempt was made to demand
this on the present occasion. The Chi
nese idea Is TO make the foreign minis
ters, as far. as possible, contemplate IN
the eyes of the people, and it was four
months before the audience of 1878 could
be arranged.-Frank @. Carpenter in
National Tribune.

why Fakirs Thrive.

The man who buys shoestrings and
other small articles from street falzirs
doesn't always do so because he gets
them, or thinks he gets. them, cheaper.
1t is chiefly because men engaged in
business are usually SO absentminded
that trifles of everyday use are never
thought of unless they are pushed right
under the business nose. AS rule the
stuff bought of street venders costs two
to five times as much as it would in a
legitimate store. But it is on this single
weakness of mankind that the street
fakir lives and thrives. "A man will fool
with broken shoestrine dozen morn
ings before he will remember to get a
new pair. Then suddenly during busy
day he runs against a shoestring peddler
and buys pair on the spot, paying
double price for what his dealer would
give him for nothing.
The faxirs thrive best in the closest
and most busy centers. Dowp in Wall
and Broad aad New and Nassau streets,
among the bankers and brokers and law
yers, who are too busy to think of sus-
penders and shoestrings and lead pencils,
ETC., the street fakirs fare well, for amid
the roar of clashing millions the absent
minded man clutches hastily on what
comes uppermost, knowing that other
wise he'll forget all about it.-New
| York Herald.

rho .yalue on rIedicins.

A noted Paris physician tells the fol-
lowing story against himself: SAT times,
he said, ''there comes to most people a
doubling of all that has heretofore
seemed the truest. Doctors, as well as
priests, are subject to these periods of
depression in which they question the
efficacy of their own Judgment. In such
a mood, while 1 was superintendent. of
PHospital de -, divided the treat
ment of the wards. In one I exercised
the best medical skill that the aid of
drugs could afford; in the other only
gave as medicine little acrid water.
This experiment continued for month
with equally good nursing in both
wards
.:.Well, with what results?" said his
listener.
''The cases in both wards averaged
just the same," answered the doctor.
'sAnd what would you infer from
that?' said his companion.
81 hardly know" continued the physi-
clan. 81 was only thankful that the ex-
pertinent did not actually score against
the profession more than it did; but on
the principle of doing ones best, have
gone back to my medicines-if not with
absolute confidence, at least with the
consciousness that we can at least alle-
viate suffering, and. all things being
favorable, may effect cure.-New York

important measure, if possible, Mr..
Herman proposes to submitto the house
next week. He will introduce bill, on
such plan as he thinks most likely to
pass his committee for overcoming the

Ever since. submarine telegraphy be-
came an established means of commune
cation much ingenuity has been ex-
pended on the compilation of codes,
partly for secrecy, but principally TO
abbreviate the messages and savemoney
in rates. To such fine point has codify-
ing been brought in this latter direction
that the telegraph companies are at their
wits end to maintain proper equi-
ibrium between the number of messages
sent and the number of words trans
mitted; in other words between the vol
ume of actual business and the amount
of revenue. All large commercial
houses now use complicated codes, in
which single word of ten letters rep
resents a sentence of ten, fifteen or
twenty words.-Electricity.

The muskrat is somewhat similar in
appearance to his dry land cousin, but is
incomparably larger. The brown musk
rat, which is larger than the black
muslsrat, when full grown will measure
twelve to fourteen inches from the tip
of his nose to the root of his tail, and his
ratlike caudal appendage sometimes at
tains a length of eight inches. Muskrat
skins are valuable for their soft, glossy
fur, and are bought by traders at from
six cents to ten cents each and sold to
furriers. The flesh of the muskrat is
said to be quite pa1atable, and it is some
times eaten. Baltimore Sun.
