NEW YORK. July 12-The first blow %
Tammany domination was struck al tho
meeting of the Citizens Democracy of the
Seventh Assembly district. st Fret avenue
and Third street. last night. when perms-
nent organization of the new political party
was effected. Otto Kempner was loudly
cheered az he rose to speak. This gather
ing" he said. marks the birth of an or.
ganization which proposes to recognize the
will Of citizens as the highest law. and to
see that the masses. and not the bosses.
shall rule the city. The Citizens Democ-
rsoy has no prearranged programme fixed
by one irresponsible individual. Its cam
didates shall not be the body servant of .
self-oonstituted dictator, but the faithful
represen tatives of the will of their
constituents. The citizens of this
city and State IA allowed
uncrowned kings to nullify the principles
composed of Murphy. Sheehan and Croker
have reduced freedom to . shadow. Our
aim 10 to restore Its substance. Let rs WACO
unrelenting war on Murphy machines.
Sheenan legislation and Croker klssdoma
That Is the purpose that snimates the lead.
ers of the Citizens Democracy. We call
upon you to do your duty and victory will
DO ours"

was promptly passed. that the exeeuNvs
committee be authorized to make go
ments to call o macs meeting. in the latter
part of Septem Der, to nominate Q commit
tee of one hundred to take charge Of the
organization until such time 80 ell the Az
sem bly, districts shall send representatives

1870. in the constellation of Cassiopeis. a.
Its temperance was about due. In 1864
he announced that Gemms's star. usually
called the Star of Bethlehem. was only o
large comet at its perihelion. when it's tail
surrounded it and gave 1t the appearances
Of q star of the first magnitude. He CON-
siders that his theory has been proved now.
for on the night of the Sth inst he saw, for
q few minutes, between clouds and near
the pole of the heavens. a star of the sixth
magnitude. moving rapidly sunward. which
he p~ronounces q comet and which is seek
ing q nearer perihellon than in 1870. On
it's return from the sun it Will be very brill

ArtifciaIIy Tinted Fruit.

Some ingenious Paris dealers are re-
ported to have invented way of en-
HANGING the market value of their wares.
1t is said that they color ordinary or
anges deep red, making them look like
nandarins, which fetch much higher
prices. They also tint pineapples to
make them look more attractive and dye
the common white Strawberries lovely
red. Melons are being treated in SIM
liar way and tinted a fine orange, their
favor being increased by injecting an
essence of melon. The latest develop
ment of this business is in connection
with pears, which are dyed red for a
third Of their size and blue below, thus
presenting the national colors when
peeled. These are said to be in demand
for dessert on account of their novelty.

Illustrated Journalism In England.

a courtryman who has been endeavor-
ing to obtain some definite ideas about
the royal wedding functions from the
various illustrated papers applies to me
for help and enlightenment. His be-
wiiderment is natural. He finds in the
first place that we seem to have new
queen reigning over US. for her majesty's
features in the illustrated paper bear no
resemblance to the authorized portraits
of Queen Victoria. 4 still more re-
markaLle fact is that in the course of
the festivities her majesty seems to have
continually changed her habiliments.
One of the special artists shows her
with an ernine train. Another repre-
sents her with no train at all. Another
shows her with a crown on her head.
Another appears to have seen her only
a few minutes later in bonnet.
One picture represents the queen and
her guests all taking lunch at one table
Another places them at different tables.
One paper surpasses itself by two views
of the route to the railway station, in
each of which the royal couple are pro-
vided with a totally different carriage
and different horses and attendants. /

ancies arise. Probably some of the spe-
