PLAN TO ELECT THE DELEGATES

The anti-Buckley element of the local
Democracy won a complete victory last
night at the meeting of the general CON-
mittee. Affairs took an unexpected turn
which demoTalized the opposition, on
whom a march had been stolen unawares,
and after an exciting and fractions session
it was decided to elect delegates in the gen.
eral committee.
When Max Pepper called the meeting
to order at 9:15 P. N. he stated that COM
mittee of the A. r. u. had called on MIN
earlier in the day and asked him to notlIy
the meeting that series OF beneht enter
tainments will be held for the union. de
asked that a recess of 10 minutes be taken
and as there was no opposition BUSINESS
was delayed while representatives OF the
A. r. U. sold tickets TO the committee
men.
After resuming the chairman announced
that campaign committees had been APP
pointed. These committees were pub
lished in The CALL last week.
A motion was made to dispense with
calling the roll, but in this many members
saw some hidden purpose and they loudly
cried, "Call the roll" Loud cries of
Question" followed and the motion was
presented and carried against strong
opposition.
Major P. J. Harvey got the floor to read
resolutions. Some one asserted he was
out of order, but the chair ruled in favor
of Harvey, as the meeting was then under
the head Of resolutions. AS he read and
dwelt on the strong points Of his resolu-
tions cheers or applause frequently inter-
rupted The reading. That part relating to
the funding bill was boisterously APP
plauded.
The resolutions expressed confidence in
Max Pepper and the general committee,
and recommended that the delegates IT,
the State convention shall be elected by
the general committee at a meeting to be
held Saturday evening next, and that the
abportionment Of delegates to the fferent
Assembly districts shall be as follows:

The Ferris Wheel.
from the Chicago Tribune.


Preliminary work incident to taking
down the Ferris Wheel on the Mid
way Plaisance was begun yesterday.
This consists of placing false work, en-
gines, and hoisting apparatus. Some
day next week the big wheel will
turn for the last time in Chicago. At
that time several Ferris Company off,
cials that will ride around on the
struss are still in place. Some will SIM
ply hold to the ten-lnch iron beams,
while others, more timid, will be tied
on.
It will take ten weeks to take the
wheel to pieces. The car that was
used for carrying the Krupp gun will
be used for the seventy-ton axle. The
material will be taken in five trains of
thirty cars each to New York city.
There are 5000 tons of metal in the
wheel and 100000 feet of timber is
needed tor the false work. Taking the
wheel down will be more dangerous
than putting it up. Only one life was
lost in erecting the big attraction.
The expense of taking down, NOV
ing, and rebuilding the wheel will be
$50, 600. In New York it is to be
placed at Thirty-seventh street and
Broadway. Old Vienna will be repro
duced around it. Here the heel had
5000 electric lights; in New York the
number will be doubled. The old
Ferris Wheel Company goes out Of ex-
istence and a new company, composed
of New York men, has been formed.
Superintendent L. Y. Rice has charge
of the removal.
During the fair the wheel went
around 10000 times and carried 2,00O,-
900 passengers. The largest single load
was carried October l9, when at 1890
O'Clock 1,76s people were in the cars.
The largest days business was October
10, when $4,000 people were carried.
October 9, 10 and II there were ia 900
passengers, the largest average for any
three DAYS.

The DEVILS Looking Glass.
lSt. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Zone of the most peculiar of stone
formations is the "devil's looking
glass;" on Nolschucky River" said a
Tennesseean. lit is palisade which
rises abruptly from ther river to aheight
of about 200 feet. 1t is perfectly smooth
and about 100 feet wide. When the
sun is at certain stage it throws q
shadow over the water and reflects the
sunbeams as mirror would, dazzling
the eyes of the beholder, sometimes
almost binding him with its bright
ness. TO go upon the river in a skif1
and look down into the water is to see
an image reflected, railways distorted.
1t is this which gave the name to the
formation, and there are several in
teresting legends connected with it,
some of which are devoutly believed by
the mountaineers. One of these is that
every night at midnight, when the
moon shines, the devil goes there to
bathe and makes up his toilet, using
the rock, with the reflection of the
moonlight, as looking glass"

WASHINGTON, D. c., May Is.

WASHINGTON, -. u, May 10.
To the Editor of the Greenville News
In your issue Saturday the 18th inst.
there appeared a most extraordinary
revelation quoted from the Laurens'
vile Herald charging me with con-
spring with B. F. Perry and others tc
secure the defeat of certain reform can
didates for congress in the election OF
1892. The charge I denounce as in
famously false and. demand the proof
For the truth or falsity of the report l
would respectfully refer all concerned
to Messrs. Johnstone, Hemphill and
Brawley and if they had any transac-
tion or bargain with Mr.. Perry and l
had any hand in its consummation such
as stated by the Herald editor, let them
say so.
If Mr.. Perry ever supported any can-
didate for financial reasons was in no
way concerned ia it, but have vivid
recollection Of supporting his paper to
the tune of two hundred dollars under
an arrangement wade with other re-
formers, and I remember quite as we'll
to have paid every dollar Of said con-
tribution out of my own pocket; and
not one cent was ever contributed by
any one to me as mediator to assist
Mr.. Perry in defeating any candidate.
Capt. Leonard Williams, of Greenville
city-as honorable man as lives-was
book keeper and manager for the
Greenville Democrat, and will testify
that no such transaction ever occurred
as stated by the Herald editor.
On one occasion Captain Perry wrote
me that Mr.. Johnstone had subscribed
for $50 worth of his papers and asked
me to collect and remit the money to
him which 1 did, without knowledge
or intimation as for what purpose the
subscription was made other than
stated, as it was none of my business.
r. I supported Mr.. Perry's paper because
it was recognized as staunch reform
organ, and until the election of 1892
was accepted as orthodox. The Her
AIDS editor has INDUCED in wonderful
silence, to say nothing of his charity,
not to have revealed 80 wicked and
treacherous q. transaction as described
by him at an earlier day, especially
when he is one of the champions of re-
form, and one of my worst enemies.
The statement of the Herald's editor
that I did not attempt to deny to him
that acted the part of an ''intermedi-
ator" between Messrs. Johnstone,
Eemphill and Brawley, and had sent
checks at their request" is utterly
false.
I would further challenge the proof
by another individual in South Caro-
lima when and to whom I ever wrote
one line, or gave single expression in
favor of the election of either Messrs.
Johnstone. Hemphill or Brawley.
Very respectfully,
G. w. SHELL.

The Identification Of Criminals.

Not long ago we discussed the system OF
Identification by means Of finger prints.
which. IL not invented. has been developed
and rendered trustworthy by the veteran
scientist. Mr.. FRANCIS GALLON. We have
since learned that our conclusions have
been confirmed by the report Of committee
appointed by the English Home Secretary.
Mr.. AsoUITH. to inquire into the best means
for Identifying habitual criminals. We COM
mend the report Of this committee to the
careful consideration Of the Superintend-
ents OF Police In New York and other cities.
The first business Of this committee was
to investigate the method introduced by
NJ. BERrILLoN OF Identifying old offenders
by means Of elaborate measurements Of
their heads. arms, fingers. and other parts
OF tho body. Especially important points
In this system are tho length and width Of
the head and OF the right ear. Indeed. NJ.
BERTILLoN classiHes mankind into "lonR
heads. " medium length heads" and short
heads" The committee recommended that
the means OF Identifying criminals hitherto
employed In England should be supple
mented by others, taken partly from NJ.
BERTILLoN's system and partly from Mr..
GALLONS one OF reading the impress
BULB VI Iue uuBeT tips. hlIcE CdToiui
analysis and verification. the committee
accept as trustworthy Mr.. GALLONS
assertion that "if two finger prints are
compared and are found to coincide ex-
actly. 1t is practically certain that they are
prints Of the same finger Of the same per-
SON." because 1.-The chance OF two finger
prints being Identical is less than one In
sixty-four thousand millions"
The committee further recommended
that. on the order OF q magistrate. who
will not issue 1t unless there is rea-
sonable grounds to suppose that the ar
rested person Is an old offender. the fol-
lowing measurements should be taken.
namely: the length and width OF the head.
the length Of the left middle finger. Of the
left forearm. and OF the left foot. as we'll as
the prisoners height. 1t is also strongly
urged that the impressions Of the ten fln-
ger tips should be taken. The committee
believe that by these means material assist
ance will be given to the police in the work
OF tracing the antecedents Of the guilty.

Of the Democratic forces. In all such
States, In the hour Of trial and contest, the
Mugwumps have deserted. leaving the ver-
table Democrats to fight the battle alone.
The old and trusted leaders TO whom the
Mugwumps unreasonably. and In some
cases Historically. objected. have had to
be recalled Genuine and popul1r issues
Of policy. held in allegiance in defer
ence to Mugwump demand. have again
been brought forward. and general read
justment OF the lines has been going on In
those States: while the Republicans have
been carrying the elections and storing up
political ammunition for future contests.
In New York the outlook for Democratic
success is brighter. perhaps. than else
where. because here the true political meas
ure OF the Mugwump guerrilla has been
taken. He has never been enrolled definite
ly in the Democratic army. He has never
been accepted as an integral part Of the
mechanism Of organization. It is not in
his power to impair or disrupt the regu-
lar Democratic organization by withdraw
ing from IL. He never belonged to It.
We invite the consideration OF Democrats
In other States, now suffering from Mug
wump arrogance, to this proof OF sound
leadership and able generalship on the part
OF those honored with high commands In
the New York Democracy. The Demo-
cratic organization OF New York is made up
Of good lighting material. 1t lie as strong
now as 1t was year ago. Disasters
and reverses through itself. or brought
upon 1t from without, have impaired the
sanguine hopes OF some Of Its members,
but there have been no assertions from the
ranks. no falling away. no mutlnies; and
in November the party will present q
united front to the Republican enemy In
the important contest for Governor. That's
what 1t Is to keep the Mugwumps isolated
and in political quarantine.
Fortitude in defeat Is one OF the attrl-
butes OF the Democracy. Repulsed. defeated.
overpowered, and apparently crushed
and smashed. It has invariably continued
to fight for its cherished principles until.
at last. these have been accepted. But
when guerrlllas. now called Mugwumps.
have forced themselves too prominently
into the Democratic column. all heart has
been taken out Of the fight This expert
ence Is repeated In some States at present.
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania among
them. but not New York.
The Democracy Of New York. though car
rying the heaviest part Of the cruel burden
Of broken pledges. vacillating policies. un-
wise appointments. and reckless admins
tration In Washington. Ia ready for
another battle with the Republicans. II not
encountered by additional burdens con-
signed from the Federal capital. 1t will
triumph in November.
