DORCHESTERS STAUNCH DEAOC-

In only three counties OF Maryland so far
has Senator German been the main issue at
the Democratic primary meetings, aud In
every one of these he has been repndiated
by the people. The returns from Dorches-
ter county show that at the primaries there
on Saturday the issue was clear cut and we'll
understood by the voters, The result was,
Ms il was in Garrett and Ailegany counties,
where the same question was presented, an
overw helming defeat for those who have
aTIayed themselves against The National
Democracy. While 1t is true that Senator
German has the delegations from Talbot
and Queen Anne's, the primary contest in
those counties did not directly involve the
Senator. In both cases it was local. These
victories of the Cleveland Democracy are
Of no ordinary import No mere majority
could have achieved them. The undis.
ciplined masses Of the party were fighting
against machine, and arrayed against the
Democratic administration were the men
whom Mr.. Cleveland appointed TO office
and who use all their official influence
against the body Of the party. These coun-
~ victories seem TO show that the long

THE LIQUOR ISSUE IN NEW YORK

THE LIQUOR ISSUE IN NEW fORh.
There Is much nervousness in political
circles in New York over the closing of the
beer saloons on Sunday. There is evident
fear that Tammany will gain an enormous
accession OF votes as its result. The ltepub
lican politicians are appealing To Gov. Nor
ton To call special session Of the legisla
ture TO repeal the Sunday closing law, and
there is no doubt that Commissioner Roose
welt has created tempest that may have
serious effects in the politics Of that party.
Tammany is in position To obtain much
benefit from this, for the liquor dealers in
New York are enormous. There is no more
dangerous element to arouse In politics in
our cities than this
The mischief was really done when the
present law was passed. If there is mischief
In it, and MIR. Roosevelt is only doing his
duty in enforcing il 1t is an unpleasant
qusndary. The desirable thing to do is to
test Tammany on its dement's In the coming
autumn election, and it will be a pity il the
issue is changed TO one in which Tammany
will have an advantage that does not belong
to II. There is the consolation however OF
knowing that great deal of good work has
been done already In the removal of its
claws, and that no possible outcome of the
election this year can replace them. Before
the prospect of this becomes more serious,
IT may be well that the effect Of the liquor
issue will cease TO be 30 much felt.

Profit in Soda Fountains.

A New Orleans man named May
told me that his yearly profits from his
soda fountain were $50, 600. One San
ders, Detroiter, who owns an IS, 900
fountain, the finest displayed at the
Worlds fair, does rushing business,
and his sales run from $500 to 500 per
day the year round. In Buffalo Stod-
dard Bros employ 30 girls to handle
ice cream sod;s and it takes 5000 glass
es to accommodate their trade They
sell it at . cents "a glass, and there is "a
net profit of just 100 per cent. In Bos-
ton Thompson's Spa, the greatest soda
resort at the Hub easily clears for its
owner $50, 900 year There are in the
United States 100, 900 fountains in OPP
Grafton, and manufacturers are getting
more orders now than they ever got be-
fore. Washington Post

els to ill hold, and these vessels aver.
age $4,000 bushels in the total cargo.
Ships carrying grain alone can take az
high as $4,000 bushels, and when it is
considered that from 1000 to 1000
bushels can be stored in an hour, every
forty bushels weighing ton, an idea
can be had of the force of the torrent
directed into the hold. Large vessels
have four or five holds, and a distinction
is made in storing the cargo in them.
Grain, from its compact and dead
weight, is reserved mostly for the
center OF the vessel, while cured pro-
visions are packed as far forward and
as far aft as possible, for their better
preservation from the heat of the
ships fires. In some vessels, like the
great Cunarders, which carry passen-
gers as well as freight, the heaviest
weight is stored in the lowest hold:
this is to steady the vessel and is called
in the technical parlance of the steve
dore, stiffening" the ship. 1t takes
about 1000 tons to "stiffen" great
Cunarder, and when this is done the
lower hold is fastened and battened
down, and work is begun on the next

Diamonds and Electricity.

An inventor has devised an electrical
apparatus for the detection of sham or
paste diamonds. The diamond is mois-
tened and slowly moved toward a small
thin disk Of aluminium, which is rapidly
revolved by an electric motor. The contact
OF the diamond thus constitutes Il brake to
the motion of the disk. If metallic marks
are found on the supposed gem it is not
genuine; otherwise, it is a pure stone
The idea is based on the fact that if a
sharp piece of aluminium be rubbed on
moistened glass brilliant metallic mark
ings appear, but the phenomenon is absent
when similar contact is made with dia
mond. The same inventor is credited with
IN electric egg testing device, which con-
sists of box provided with two holes and
fitted inside with II mirror at 40 degrees.
A small electric lamp outside the box
throws light on the egg placed in one of
the holes in the top of the box. Through
the other hole can be seen on the mirror
the reflection of the illuminated egg, which
will be clear of streaks and stains, or other
wise, according as it is stale or sound

"When l studied Latin, we said 'Veni,
vidi, vici, exactly as it is spelled. A
few years later they began to use what
was called the continental pronuncia-
ton and said, 'Veene, veede, veeke. ,
Now fancy your collegiate sister would
tell us that it was Weene, weede,
weeke. " The collegian was appealed to
accordingly and announced: mo; there
is a later way still We say, 'Wainee,
weedee, wechee, for the very latest. {"

They Ran the Cars.

The climax in this modern activity of
woman was reached in Rome, Ca, one
day last week, it would seem. A Ro-
man youth was in Atlanta soon after,
and this is what he said:
Yes" he said, "they ran the cars
in our town Friday. Some of our pref
test girls plumed themselves out in the
nobbiest gowns, and perching a saucy
little cap, into which they had daintily
and fancifully embroidered the word

heads, they took fare for day.
at was picnic for the passengers
as well as for the girls They enjoyed
it immensely. 1t was jolly holiday
affair all around. Some of our young
men rode themselves into temporary
bankruptcy. They deserted their bust
ness entirely and, filling their pockets
with nickels, they spent the day with
the fair conductors. There wasn't any
rule forbidding them to talk to the con-
ductors.
"A good.looking fellow couldn't es-
cape. Every time he turned corner a
sweet voice would call out to him to
come and get on and ride. If you
DON'T they would say, I'll never speak
to you again. and if he didn't 60 it
amounted to social ostracism. Yes, sir,
it meant boycott at the germans, the
teas, the swell outings, for the next four
or five months. 1t didn't matter whether
a fellow wanted to ride or not; they
didn't care if he was going in an en-
tirely different direction to meet an
important business engagement and
couldn't spare the time; he just had to
ride. l was hailed by score of them,
and when showed the slightest hest
tation they would ring the car down and
wait for me. If l didn't come then the
passengers would fire into me. The
maidens were full of energy, and there
was no escaping them.
1T was rare fun. Many funny and
ridiculous things happened, of course,
but the conductor maidens acquitted
themselves charmingly and made more
money than has been made in a single
day since the line was opened. AT

A WOman's Smile.

A Sew York woman wandering among
Paris art treasures is thus imprcssed
1.-THE memory of one woman's smile she
writes, "has set "a whole world in tune, for
no picture known perhaps has touched so
many hearts rs that bit of dull, dusky can
vas out of which the Mona Lisa of Leon
ardo da Ninci smiles at you. The first feel
ing when you look at her is one of disap-
pointment. Her smile mocks you. But
go a little to the right and, oh, how sad
the smile is, or stand at the left, and it
has become the joyous smile of childhood,
dimpling the corners Of her mouth, while.
If you look her straight IN the face, her
mood has changed again. You know then
that she has solved this mystery that we
call life and can still smile Now, as YOU
turn away you find that she bcwitched YOU.
Her languid eyes and slow smile follow
you, drawing again and again your seek
ing gaze.

A Novel Expedient.

A lumberman attached to John
Cranes camp, up beyond the Katahdin
Iron works in Maine, was tramping
across to pond late one November
evening when he ran upon bull moose.
The lumberman had no rifle, so he
yelled and waved his arms, expecting
that the broad antlered bull would dash
fear stricken down the mountain. But
it didn t. 1t rushed for the lumberman.
He lodged about tree and dropped his
AK. For ten minutes he lodged, half
scared to death Then he climbed the
tree
The bull butted the tree with its ant
lers until it swayed to and fro, and then
walked away few yards and rested
The lumberman yelled some more. When
he could yell no longer, he set his wits
to work. Just above him was a dead
limb He broke it Off and us the bull
advanced again he set the wood afire and
dropped it on the bulls back. With a
below it ran down the mountain. The
half frozen lumberman made line for

A Means of Disinfecting Wells.

Heavy rains are apt to contaminate
wells and spread disease; hence Dr.
Franck has brought under the notice of
the Polytechnic society of Berlin means
of disinfecting wells, which he employs
with success. 1t consists in suspending
in the mouth of the well an earthenware
dish containing 80 to 100 grams Ga
gram is about 10 grains) of bromine,
which, being volatile in air, forms a
dense vapor that fills the WELL and is
absorbed by the water, thus disinfecting
it. The water, it is true, has slight
taste of bromine for time, but is whole
some enough. London Globe.

Loading an Ocean Liner.

To watch the loading of grain, either
from an elevator or lighter, into one
of the mammoth vessels engaged in it's
transportation, is to witness one of the
chief operations in the movements of
the worlds commerce. 1t is carried in
long pipes, with funnel-shaped NOV
able appendage at the end, which is
shifted by means of rope from one
part of the hold to another, according
as the stream of grain fills up the spaces
reserved for it. The grain flows into
the vessel with the noise and velocity
of torrent, and sends dense volume
of dust and chaff upward, obscuring
the depths beneath and making the
men attending the storage below look
like ghosts in the rising mists. The
" trimming" of the grain in the holds
is an important part of the storage.
After several thousand bushels have
