PIau-The Vote May be Re-
considered.

At th,ir meeting last Friday night
the city Democratic Committee decided
that at the primary. the date for wnsch
has not yet been fixed. the viva voce pan
should be adopted. When the matter was
preached in the committee some little OPP
posltion was manifested. but when the
vote was taken there was only one DIS
senting voice. Since that time, II is said
that opinions unfavorable to this plan
have been expressed by members VINO
were not present at the meeting, and
the probabilities seem 20 be that an enort
will b. made TO have the matter recon-
sdered
one of the members OF the committee
said Yesterday that he thought there was
a strong probability of the vote being
reconsdered and the decision or the
COMMITTEES at It's last meeting reversed.
He said he thought the Walton syst m
OF voting would be much more satlsiae-
tory to the people at large; that they
understood it thoroughly, and he hai no
doubt that a big outcry would ne tne
result il the committee should adhere 10
the viva vCcc plan.

How lie Made Bells Ring,

Recently. ct one of our lar~c hotels,
while q party was holding an argument
on the subject of sSpiritualism, one young
fellow expressed his be.eI that there
was something in it. as he himself was
q sort of a medium"
How q medium" inquired one Of the
speakers.
Why" replied the wag. II can do a
good many mysterious things; for in
stance, l can make n bell ring without
touching IT,"
The other offered to wager that he
couldn't. The wag persisted. and said
that he would lay him C. 3 he could make
at least q dozen OF the bells in the pas
sage ring within two minutes, without
leaving his seat.
"Dorc!" exclaimed the sceDtic, and
the money was stalicd.
The young fellow turned round on his
scat. opened a closet door. and turned
off the gas from the upper part Of the
building. In less than one minute half
the bells in the passage began to ring
violently the persons above having sud-
denly lost their lights.
And so, of course. the money was
fairly won.-Tid-Bits

nothing would do but he must fight his
battles over again. which he did with
great spirit when he saw her fine eyes
kindling with enthusiasm. and her lips
tremble from sheer sympathy.
Strange to say. nobody knew what
1t all meant but the old cook. who stood
in the doorway leading from the din
