SET HIS LITTLE SISTER AFIRE.-
George Gould, a ten-year old boy,
burned his sister Grace, aged six years,
to DEATH near Masontown, Pa, on Sat
urday. The lad had been carrying coal
from their coal mine to the house, q
short distance, and when his mother
said she would send Grace to help him
he said that he would burn Grace if she
came. The sister went along to the
mine, however, and there the boy set
her on fire with pit lamp, and after
watching her clothes burn for q while
he ran. The child died in few hours
in terrible agony.

An ELEPHANTS EMoTIoN.-Somc of the
European newspapers are telling truly vera
cous story of the sagaciy of trained ce-
phant which adorns French travelling show.
The proprietor Of the circus announced that
on a certain night his elephant would play the
Russian Hymn on n piano with his trunk
Intense interest was aroused, and when the
evening came the cXpectant public crowded
the circus to the roof After the usual per
formancc four men carried in cottage piano
which they placed in the centre OF the arena
Then the intelligent animal was brought in,
paradcd with much Iii ,nfy three times around
the ring and then, amid the kcencst excite
ment, advanced to the piano. With move
ment OF his trunk he touched the Keyboard,
4ut hardly had he done so when surprising
change came over him. He tremhled with
fear and rage, whirled his trunk into the air,
and then with Il scream OF terror rushed out
Of the arena.
There was a great hurrying to and fro Of the
employees. and the circus proprietor and the
.leDhant keeper left the ring for consultation
In a few minutes the proprietor returned and
announced with regret that the performance
could not take place The fact WAS, he said,
that the elephant had recognized in the key
board of the instrumental portion Of the tusks
of his long-lost mother. who had iailenssa prey
10 the ivory hunters Of Africa. He had srg-
gested to the keeper that another piano might
be procured, but that export had informed
him that the animal was so overcome with
emotion that it world be impossible for it to
perform that evening Under these circum-
stances he suggested that the Russian
Hymn" followed by the "Marseillaisc,
should be played by the band. The cntertaln-
mcnt was thus brought To a close amid the
frantic applause of the audience.

THAT able and patriotic statesman,
ex-Secretary Bayard, states q profound
truth in the following: II think the ac-
ton ofthe coming national Democratic
convention will probably have a most
profound influence upon the future of
the Democratic party asan organization
and upon the welfare ofthe government
itself. There is no doubt that if the
doctrines contained in the rules of ex-
Speaker Reed and the force bill and
the Mckinley bill are permitted to be-
come the settled government Of this
ountry it will scarcely have the form,
much less the substance of a constitu-
tional republic"

chamber was dimly lighted, and one
of the aldermen had seen a new

the thing needed to throw light on
city legislation. He made a motion
to have a committee appointed to go
to Bridgeport and examine the chande-
lier, and buy one if advisable. This
brought the watchdog to bis feet. ,'Mr.

REMEMBER that the Republicans of
Ohio have placed plank in their plat
form demanding the enactment of a
force bill. They want armed soldiers
under command of the powers that be
to surround every polling place. How
long will our country be free republic
If such un-American methods be intro
see federal office-holders controlling pri-
maries bulldozing voters at every eIec-
ton. But what would it be if these fed
eral office.holders had a band ofregular
soldiers stationed in every township to
do their bidding? This rotten plank is
sufficient of itself to damn the Repub-
Iican organization of Ohio,

"Take the Irish vote from the Demo-
cratic party" says the Sandusky Reg
lister, land it could not carry city in
the North" Well, what of that? asked
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The same
may be said regarding the Batist or
Methodist vote. 1t is matter of pride
of the democracy that no mans con-
science or religion can prevent his sup
porting its measures. The Catholic vote
makes up large element in the party
and a most high minded and patriotic
element. II the Democratic party can
not carry city without a catholic votes
the Republican party cannot carry a
State, country, city or township, North
or South, without the negroes. It is
hardly necessary to say that the demo-
cracy would not exchange positions in
this respect, even though 1t were the
price OF victory.
