DEMOCRATIC CAREER.

THE DISPATCH was mistaken. 1t is not
often so; but occasionally an error of judg-
ment will occur and as such must be
acknowledged. The error was in the be-
lief that the Democratic gloridcation of
Wayne MacVeagh would last till after
election. The antecedents justified the
opinion that it would continue 90 long, but

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Robert Franz, Composer.

Brief mention OF the death of Robert
Franz, the wel-known German composer. was
published in this column several days ago. He
was born at Halle. the birthplace of Handel. in
1885, During the latter years of his life he was the
most i'm portant composer of German songs. He
was the son of respectable citizen, and had
sbun dant opportunity TO obtain thorough edu-
cation. His talent for music appeared early and
excited the opposition of his parents. 1t was only
after years Of delay and finally under protest that
his parents permitted him to become musical
pupil. He was regarded by all except his mother
as the black sheep Of the family. He published
his first set of II songs In lsis. gaining the ad-
His progress was impedeu by failing hearing and
pecunary troubles. IN his latter years, Franz de.

pent mysteriously missing this season from
the American coast, has emigrated to West
Africa. ThiE is the story of the witnesses,
signed by everybody on board:
"While the vessel was steaming between
Bey Beach and Lagos. long. moving mass
was discerned about q mile from shore. There
were no fins or fappers to be seen, but the
leviathan was proceeding along at the rate
of five or six miles an hour by an undulat-
ing, wriggling motion. 1t was travelling in
an opposite direction to that in which the
steamer was going, and it was kept in sight
for more than ten miRutes. 1t was esti-
mated that its length would be about 200
feet. The water at the time was as smooth
as mill pond, so that an nnobstructed
view OF the monster could be had. At one
time it raised its enormous head and took IN
the direction of the ship. showing two tre-
mendous green eyes. 1t was broad daylight
at the time, and when first seen the creature
was within easy distance. being readily ssen
by the naked eye, and tho glasses that were
used only confirmed the opinion that it was
u sea serpent"
Tho New Remedy tor Cholera.
Wonderful things are expected of the
new remedy for cholera which has been
tested for q month past at one of the Ham,
burg hospitals. Sir Andrew Clark first ex
perimented with it in England, and sent its
discoverer. an English chemist, with it to
Hamburg 1t is known as "Periodate Crys-
talS, DuC ltS cOunpOSitlOn mas nOI Dccu I1duo
public. Its action is said to be the destruc-
lion of all microbic germs without injury to
the human tissues. 1t is an interesting fact,
by the way, that flies are found to be dan
yerous propagators of bacilli diseases An
experlinenIer in Hamburg recently cap
tured nine flies which had been in contact
wit cholera material, and placed them in
TASKS containing nutrient galatine. In six
OF the TASKS many comma bacilli were SUBJ
sequently found.
Dogs That Win Steal Anything.
The sequel to the story about the dog
that stole umbrellas is q sad one for the
reputation of the canine race. The dog and
his master were I'm court this week, and the
charge against the beast was fully proved.
The dogs master was remanded after a hear
ing, during which the animal howled dis
mally. The police testified that dishonesty
of the sort charged was by no means un-
known among dogs. 1t has since been
proved, however, that theft is not always
the result OF human corruption. A gentle
man has come forward to say that he has
collie which not long ago acquired the hapit
of bringing Il large number OF newspapers,
magazines and other literature TO the house
daily. The animal was watched. and it was
found that he snatched the papers from the
hands of unsuspecting passengers and
bounded away to his masters house. This
animal has been induced to reform.
