A GOOD OUTLOOK.

The Democrats meet in convention to-
morrow to nominate their State ticket
There is one gratifying distinction be.
tween this Saratoga gathering and that
OF last week. Long before the Republi-
can delegates got together the candi-
dates to be Endorsed by them had been
written on the boss's slate in Mr. Thomas
c. Platt's private office, In the United
States Express Company's building. and
the slate nominee for Governor had
accepted what nobody but Boss Plat
had offered him.
To-morrow's Convention meets with
out any dictation or any prepared slate.
To-day no one knows who the nominees
will be. The delegates will caucus to-
night, compare views. and the candi-
dates will be those whose availability
and merits are considered best after this
consultation
With Republlcsn Governor nomi-
mated for Doodle only, with a tainted
candidate for the Court of Appeals, and
with a platform distinguished only for
gross abuse and persistence in past
errors and prejudices, against a prac-
tically reformed Democracy with candi-
dates chosen for the public good, the
tide has Enthusiastically turned in favor
OF Democratic success.
Let the Democrats show as much Wis
dom In their Convention as they have in
their preliminary work, and the chances
are that the State will continue to be
Democratic.

Foot of East 29th Street.
Nearly Severed His Head from His
Body with a Razor.
Report that He Was Recently Mar
ried and Out of Work.

An unknown man, probably thirty
years Of age, committed suicide about
4 o'clock this morning by cutting his
throat and nearly severing his head
from the trunk at the entrance to the
pier at the foot OF East Twenty-eighth
street.
1t was rumored in the vicinity that
the suicide was young man living in

he would kill himself II he didn't soon

body was taken, no one had called up
to a late hour this morning to Identify

ty-eighth street. Waterman in s.
Stewards coal yard, at the entrance to
the pier, found the body of the suicide
at 5l5 o'clock.

his son Patrick, who went upst airs and
SAID that man was lying, near the
stringpiece on the north side of the
pier near the coal yard office.
Stewart found the dead man on his
knees, his hands grasping a ships spar
which lay inside the strlngpiece.
His head was over hole in the
ground which had been washed through
by the recent storm.

head over 1t that the blood might run
through into the river. In the entrance
to the hall was found the bloody razor.

Thlrty-ffth street station, was notified,

that the use OF words is to express ideas. What
Idea does he intend to convey by the use Of
the word "soul?' Does he mean life" or IN

tion as supplied by the greatest philosophers "a
that aggregate functional activity Of animal
and vegetable organisms differing in degree u

what he means by the word SOUL or rather
the idea he intends to convey, then the soul can
not possibly lie immortal. as he anirms, because
the activity disappears with the destruction d

WOULDN'T WORK SUNDAY.
But the Carthage In BcinH Moved as
Usual To-day.

The Superintendent OF the Street
Cleaning Department to-day received re-
ports from tn, Inspector of Dumps rela-
tive to the delay in the disposal of the
accumulated garbage. 1t was explained
that one reason for the delay in getting
scows out to sea was due to the fact
that the laborers employed thereon had
refused to go to work on Sunday. This
refusal was not due to religious scruples
on the part of the men. but they wanted
double pay for Sunday work. The De
partment refused to comply with the
demands of the men, and the scows re-
mained tied up at the dumps until this
morning.
The Department oh1Ials say that the
trouble with the men Is all over, and
work Will now go on as usual.

He asked her for a pretty kiss -,
She only gave grin!
But that he said he wouldn't take,
And waited for while
Said he. "Oh! Hilda. give me hope
She only gave a smile!
That grin appeared not quite at home
Upon her pretty face:
Like music somewhat out Of tune,
That smile seemed out OF place.
While Hilda's grin was not at home,
But at some other point,
And while her smile was out of place.
His nose was out Of joint!''
He's out OF sorts: he hates to sleep,
Or wake. or stand. or sit:
His mind seems out OF him. which means
That he seems out OF it.

Upon a heart OF bliss:
For she has given him the door,
And some one else the kiss!
