confusion and the matter rested. The objection
to a change OF our present method IS strongly
put by those opposed. No doubt for time It
would endanger the chances (pOhtically) OF a
certain portion Of the Democracy, but no good
reason as yet has been advanced why they In
time would not be on an equal footing. II Is

A remarkable popularity about these
temporary stars is their usually sud-
den appearance. In all the we'll.
authenticated cases the stars have
blazed out with startling rapidity.
Such were the brilliant stars of 1872
and 1904; and in later years, those of
1860 in Corona Borealis, and of 1876 in
Cygnus. Tycho Brahe's star of 1872
made its appearance near the star

crat 1t was like this: An ex.congress.
man of Georgia, whose rotund figure is
a well-khown feature In hotel Hobbies,
was on the floor OF the house when the
news came that the first ballot was in.
In his haste to hear the result from the
operators own lips, he rushed through
the cloak room and, opening the door
leading out into the corridor, made a
dive for the platform. As it happened
large basket of bright red apples oc-
cupied the space which should have
been vacant, and the substantial boot
of the ex-congressman insinuated itself
into the midst of the rosy pippins. Talk
about the fall of Rome! 1t was not a
circumstance to the descent of the dis
ti1@yuished politician from the sunny
south. For awhile there was an indis-
criminate mass of basket, apples, legs
and Hibernian dialect from the ag-
grieved old lady. Quiet was finally re-
stored, but it is doubtful if the pur-
veyor of the fruits will ever forget this
assault upon her business interests.

AN ANCIENT TOMB.
Discovery of the Remains of an Ancienr
King.

Discovery of the Remains of an Ancien,
King.
The dean of Gloucester (Dr. Spence)
claims to have discovered that the &C
tual remains of Osric, king of North
umbria, who was buried A. d. 729, lie
beneath the beautiful shrine erected to
his memory which stands on the right
hand of the high altar in the choir of
Gloucester cathedral This shrine is
the work of Abbot Malvern, the last
abbot of Gloucester, in the days of
Henry VIII, and it has been generally
supposed to be merely a memorial
simply cenotaph or. empty tomb. Ac.
cording to an account of the discovery,
two panels were taken out Of the stone
loculus and a long leaden coffin was
discovered lying exactly beneath the
kings effigy. The contents of the cot.
fin disclosed the remains of a very an.
Gent interment. Much Of the cement
which had once fastened down the
stone eftigy of Osric had fallen into the
end of the coffin, broken by the weight
of the superintendent figure, and a
few small bones were discovered
mingled with the cement. No attempt
was made to discover royal insignia or
fragments of vesture and the remains
were left untouched. DR.. Spence
claims that by this search he has veri-
fed beyond all doubt the statement Of
Leland in 1540-1541 concerning the
translation of the remains of the royal
founder of Gloucester cathedral and
that the beautiful tomb known as Os-
RIGS tomb is no mere monument raised
in pious memory of the king but is the
actual resting-place of the founders
remains. The Importance of the dis
covery exists in the fact that it is be.
lieved that in the tomb of Osric
Gloucester may claim the guardianship
OF the Oldest known remains Of the
Saxon kings. Fragments are known to
exist in other minsters.-London Globe.

opposite the southeast corner of the

senate, only with less dignity. The
noise and confusion here are welcome
relief after the monotony of the senate.
A low platform from the ground to
door opening into the cloak room and
barber shop affords impatient members
an opportunity to reach the telegraph
