The largest OK in this country that we

known as the centennial OK. He was ex.
hibited at the centennial in Philadelphia
in 1870. He was bred by Samuel Barley,
of Somerset county, Pa, and was the lar.
gest specimen of the bovine the world has
ever seen. He weighed 1900 pounds the
day he arrived in Philadelphia. He was
of mixed stock, being Shorthorn, native,
scrub and Ayrshire, the Shorthorn pre-
After the close of the exhi-
bition the giant OK was butchered and ex.

Although there is no mention Of death
masks in the works of Homer, or in any OF
the later classics, recent explorers have
satisfied themselves that in the early
burials Of all nations 1t was the custom tc
cover the heads and bodies of the dead
with sheets of gold so pliable that they
took the impress of the form, and not in,
frequently, when in the course of centuries
the embalmed flesh had shriveled or fallen
away, the gold retained the exact cast of
the features. Schliemann found a number
of bodies covered with large masks OF
gold plate in repousse work" several OF
which have been reproduced by means OF
engraving in his "Mycene," and he asserts
that there can be no doubt whatever that
each one of these represents the likeness o.
the deceased person whose face it covered

The Democratic County Committee
had hot day Of IL yesterday before
they got through with the Third dis
trict election case for county com
missioner. They wrestled with 1t and
sweat over it from 10 O'Clock In the
morning until O'Clock in the evening
before they decided to declare the
election void, and ordered new one
for next Saturday.
Never before was committee con-
fronted with such an avalanche of
fraud.
Mr. Newell was represented by j.. O..
Vandegrift and John Blggs, Esqs.. and
MIR. Mealey by Peter L. Cooper aud W..
Il. Lyman, Esqs. Mr.. Mealey through
his counsel charged the most astound-
ing frauds In the Eleventh ward, the
Southern district of the First ward,
and Western District of the Fourth
ward. Mr.. Newell retorted that there
We're equally enormous frauds In tho
Tenth ward, the Third ward. tie
Twelfth ward and Eastern district of
the Second ward. In many OF these
districts the ballot boxes and tho bal
lots had not been returned to the COM
mittee.
About I2 witnesses Oh each side were
examined, and an hour for each side
was allowed for argument About
4. 10 O'Clock the arguments were all
over and the committee retired to tho
Hotel Willis for dinner and to whet up
Upon the retilrn OF the committee the
case was further considered. All adj
mitted great. irregulnrity, but there
was n division us to what was best to
be done.
Some wanted to throw out Newell
and some Mealey. As no decision was
likely to be reached on this line, n
compromise was effected by declaring
void tie election. After this was
done the committee declared vacant
the seats of the officers who held the
election. No Lanan screw-driver
methods are to be employed any more.
After doing this the committee ad-
journed.-
Both Newell and Mealey were sur
| prised at the decision. The commit.
tee also decided that the vote for rep
resentutive to the Legislature III the
| wards south of Sixth street, should be
taken over again, while the vote in the
wards above Sixth should be allowed
! to stand.
! This gives William F. Kurtz a ma
1ority In the upper wards OF 5ss votes
to start with, and ii is possible that in
order to placate the German vote that
Kurtz instead OF Spruance may be
nominated next saturday.

The late Mr.. Edward Kent Karslake was
an admirable lawyer, and might have made
a great name II he had taken to his work
seriously. But this was just what he was
unable to do. His love of humor was al
most greater than his desire to achieve a
forensic victory. This failing somewhat
irritated the judges, who also grew i'm
patient Mt his classical illusions, which he
introduced into the dullest and most tech
nical cases with n cleverness which even
they were wont to acknowledge. In open.
ing a case before the late Vice Chancellor
Hall he said:
"This, my lord, is short cause" which
the judge fully appreciated at the end Of
Mr.. Karslake's two days speech. Like
his brother, Sir John Karslake, he was q
very tall man, and related how n reporter,
describing the attorney generals appear
ance, innocently wrote, Sir John Kars.

LITTLE HoMEa's SLATE.

After dear old grandma died,
Hunting through an oaken chest
In the attic wp espied
What repaid our childish quest
Twas homely little slate,
Seemingly OF ancient date.
On its quaint and battered face
Was the picture of cart,
Drawn with all that awkward grace
Which botokens childish art;
But what meant this legend, pray,
"Homer drew this yesterday"
Mother recollected thon 49,
What the years were fain to hide,
She was but baby when
Little Homer lived and died;
Forty years, so mother said,
Little Homer had been dead.
This one secret through those years
Grandma kept from all apart,
Hallowed by her lonely tears
And the breaking Of her heart,
While each year that sped away
Seemed to her but yesterday.
So the homely little slate
Grandma's baby's fingers pressed,
To n memory consecrate,
Lieth In the oaken chest,
Where, unwilling we should know,
Grandma put It years ago.
