WARS MODERN HORRORS.
Science Is Making Its Effects Too
Dreadful to lie Engaged In,

Various experiments with the new
rifles, which have recently taken place
in Germany, have demonstrated In Il
very conclusive manner that another
war would practically be one OF Annihila-
tiun, says the London Telegraph.
A well-known French writer. in an ar
ticle which he devotes to the subject,
says that the battlefield would at the
end OF the engagement be covered with
two or three hundred thousand corpsos
all crushed and broken, and would be
nothing but n vast Charnel house.
No one would bc left to bury the dead,
and pestilence would IN its turn sweep
away the country people. Pointing the
moral, he adds that the man-Emperor,
King or President Of a Republic-who,
under these conditions, would expose the
human race to such a fate would be the
greatest criminal that the world had
ever seen.
II is tolerably plain that the horrors
and the butchery which war would
entail are becoming more and more recog-
nized. and that the terrible vista thus
opened out is exercising a sobering effect
on those who were formerly wont to dis
cuss various eyentualIties with q light
heart

his Objectionable methods they say,
there would be no anti-machlne organi-

They predict that Hin will not poll
more than the full Tammany vote for
the Tammany ticket, and believe that
Tammany was injured rather than bene-
hted by his candidacy.
The State Democracy and other DEM
ocratic factions have promised loyal sup
port to the nominees OF the State Con
vention, but not to the local candidates
or Tammany.
Talk of Compromise.
A story was current to-day that Tam
many might compromise with the State
Democracy by giving them n certain
number OF Congressman, Assemblymen
and Aldermen In return for their sup
port of the Tammany nominee for
Mayor.
This, however. is merely gossip, as
Tammany is not likely to recogn ize the
State Democracy here after having re-
fused to do so at Saratoga.

The first witness, Henry l.. Hoyt, told
In detail how the books OF the hotel

Wentworth to cover his defacations.
Most of the morning session was taken
up in arguing over the question OF ad-

kept In the dressing room. She did not

In the cot to die. When the curtain
rose It revealed Lady Isabelle bent over
the dying child. Underneath the cot was
a very stout lady to speak little Willes
lines; she was concealed from the audi

When the curtain was up and the little
girl strained her head around and saw
that there was an audience there, she
sprang from the death-bed. taking the
drapery with her, ran from the stage
