man Louis + McComas of
this State to be a Judge of
the District of Columbia.
President Harrison no doubt
gave him the appointment for
his services as Secretary of
the National Republican Com

was SO eminently fitted for the
Judiciary. During the last
days of President Clcveland's
administration, he nominated
Hon. Adlai Stevenson for this
identical office and the Rcpub-
lican Senate refused to con
firm. II this is not a good
reason for Democratic Sena-
tors opposing the conirma

Comas was probably the
staunchest advocate in the

was a member of the internal

Andrew Hull AstOnishes BritOIIS
With His Thick Skull-lIOw
lie Does IL.

The curious Of London are
now wondering at the perform
ances of Andrew Hull. of
Pennsylvania. and for a year
and a half a resident Of Cham
bersburg. Hull allows stones
to be broken on his head.
Before he goes on the stage
several people from the
audience examine the per
formers appliances. Next to
his head is a thick iron plate
weighing about 100 pounds.
upon which is placed the
granite block of about similar
avoirdupois. Hull gives a
sign to the stage attendant,
who. with a sledge-hammer
proceeds to deal resounding
blows upon the piece of gray
granite. The stone generally
breaks about the eighth or
ninth blow. and only those
who are close to the per
former can see the look OF
CONSERVATION in his eyes and
the drawn lips as the blows
fall. Hull is not unusually
strong muscularly. but has
enormous powers OF resistance
in his head and neck.
He went to England to do
his freak" business and after
ward returned to this country
to make the round of the
museums here and allow
stones to be broken on his
head and money to flow into
his pocket. He travels con
tinually, and his salary runs
from SIS to $500 per week.

THE Worlds Fair has one trouble
after another. Besides the great un-
settled question of Sunday opening in
which not only the Fair but the whole
country is interested. it is constantly
having other dissentions. First there
was the music question, which ended
in Padereweski's playing and Thomas
being retained. The latest disturbance
is over picture which bids fair to
make stir. The picture, which is
quite famous, was painted by New
York artist, but was refused for ex-
hibition by the United States Depart
ment of Art. The French Depar
ment offered it a place among their
exhibits which offer the artist accepted,
but when the head Of the Art Depart
ment discovered the picture be had a
heavy crimson cloth placed before it.,
as be considered it not only immoral
but obscene. Now the managers Of the
French exhibit are up IN arms. They
say he had no right to meddle with
their exhibits, and the matter is to be
settled in court. It is indeed a pity
that the great masters of art cannot
find subjects worthy of their skill and
talent, that they must take the grosest
and basest of human tendencies for
portrayal. Is it not as fine an art to
paint the true, the noble and the beau
tifuf? Art that must have base pas
sions in which to immoTtalize itself
may be very fine from an artistic stand
point, but we can get.along better with

IT ID not SO much the mere fact of
the election of Cleveland that causes
the general depression in trade as it
is that the large interests of the coun-
try are not fully convinced as to what
course the newly elected House of
Representatives and the Senate will
take. This is what causes the present
uneasiness. If the policy Of the Demo-
cratic party was definitely and fully de-
termined Ia thing that was never known
nor never will BEL business would un-
doubtedly be in better shape; but the
absolute uncertainty as to what stand
the present administration proposes to
take in regard to the financial and
business interests, is the cause of the
trouble. We all believe Cleveland to
be sound on the financial question, but
the fact that he mas such an aggrega-
tion Of silver and anti-siIver men in
bis party in congress it causes an I'M
certainty. AS to this and the fact of
the declaration at the Democratic
National Convention III regard to the
Tariff causes the uncertainty Of these
interests. OF course il it were EOS
sible forthe Democratic party to adhere
