New York is still democratic and con-
sentative papers are admitting that Bry-
an made thousands of votes during his
to~r through that section, and 1t is be-
| lieved that the democratic candidate will
bring a majority down to Harlem river
and Tammany will undoubtedly see that

line to the tune of at 10000 majority. In
fact, it begins to look as if it were only
question of majority.

obstinate, but the first step is to go to the
root of it.

lethargy, headache, dizziness, weakness,
bad taste, stomach-ache, fever, 11atulence,
nausea, constipation, loss of appetite, jaun-
dice, anaemia, neuralgia, rheumatism, ETC.,

(From The Dayton (Ohio) Herald.)
Aug. g. 1900 is noted as the date of
the first wedding in Dayton. On that
day Benjamin Van Oleve was married to
Mary Written at her fathers house on his
farm a short distance from town. Mr..
Van Cleo makes this Characteristic
record Of the event il his diary: "This
year I raised crop of corn and deter
mined on settling myself. and having
home; accordingly on the 28th of Au-
gust married Mary Written, daughter of
John Written, near Dayton. She was
young. lively, and ingenious My
property was Il horse creature and few
farming utensils, and her father gave her
Il few hous3Aold or kitchen utensils, SO
that VIC could make shift to cook our pro-
visions; bed, COW and heifer, eve
and two lambs, sow and pigs, and
saddle and spinningsWheel. I had corn and
Vegetables growing, so that if we were
no6Nrich, we had sufficient for our ilnme-
date wants, and we were oontented and

THE GLuTToNoUs SHRIMP.


kIIOdl ANCW 4OEA SuH.
The shrimp is scavenger; it will eat
almost anything. 1t is greedy creature;
it may often be seen in aquarium tanks
to seize piece of food weighing more
than itself. If this scrap should be
living On the bottom, the shrimp with it's
first effort upon swooping down upon it
might raise 1t clear and then be COM
PEELED to drop 1t, or to sink with it again
to the bottom, there to attack it piece
meal. The shrimp ls often put in aquar-
iuIn tanks to help keep them clean; it
seeks out and eats neglected scraps and
little bits of food put in for other marine
animals, but which the others may have
missed and which may have settled down
in crevices and other by-placss. But
while the shrimp is thus useful as scav-
enger it is necessary at feeding t ine to
sec that it does not get also the foot in-
lnteded for the other animals; the shir mp
is exceedingly quick in movement and it
may dart down and seize the food ous of
the grip of an animal much larger than
itself. and it would be equally ready to
take food from the helpless sea anemone
or the fighting crab. tiny shrimp would

dead fish held in the grasp of a lobster,
trusting to its agility to escape if the lob
ster should resent the intrusion.
But while the shrimp is able to and does
hold its own remarkably well for one of
it's size, life is by no means at all plain
sailing for it; there are other creatures
of the sea that are quite as quick and
quite as merciless, and that snap up the
shrimp whenever they get chance. Here
may be dead mennaden living on the
bottom with 500 shrimps at work upon
1t, pulling and hauling. One shrimp may
get an extra big piece only to be attacked
the menhaden and fight with the shrimp
that has the fragment for the possession
of that. The water is alive with shrlmps
about the dead fish.
Along comes big weakfish or striped
bass The weakfah may see the shrimps
feeding from distance Of 10 or ~ feet
away. If the weakfish ever laughs, it
probably laughs on an occasion like this.
1t may approach along the bottom or it
may dart down ob1iquely and dash
through the mass of shriInps with open
mouth, sweeping away a dozen of them
and dispensing the rest. T This dispersal,
however, is likely to be but temporary
the weakfish is not apt to return to this
particular squarry; it seems to regard the
meeting with the shrimps around the
menhaden as only an incident of it's day
meandering, and it goes away and the
shrimps return to their prey.
. But it might be that a little school OF
bass come along, four or five or half q
dozen of them, and these might follow
up the first dash by pursuing the shrimps
until, if they had not annihilated them,
they had effectually dispersed them.

THE OLYMPIA N ARENA
Where the Revived Games at Athens Will
Be Held.

(Prof. r. B. Richardson in Soribner's. J
The arena was about $50 feet long and
1875 feet broad. The regular length of n
stadium race course was 900 Greek feet,
which was a trif1e shorter than English
feet. There was then plenty Of room to
lay out in this arena, between Fstarting
point and a goal, both somewhat re-
moved from the ends, the traditional
course.
The passage between the seats and the
arena was foot lower than the arena
ITSELF and, as the face-wall of the seats
was about five feet high, people might
pass to and fro during the games with
out cutting off the view Of those in the
seats. The most singular feature of this
passage, and as great a surprise when dis
covered, is It's varying width. caused by
a continuous curve of the bounding wall
of the seats, while the long sides of the
arena are straight lines. The whole oayea
thus takes the form of an elongated
horseshoe. The practical purpose ri this
curve is easily seen. 1t did for the spec
tators at the ends just what they would
otherwise DO tempted to do for themselves
by getting up and leaning forward to see
the finish, which took place at the sphen-
done.
Il Ut tu5 u1SbllDubiUu Ol Inc spectators,
besides the two horizontal passages al
ready referred to, there was third at the
top of the cavea, and 81 flights of steps
running from top to bottom, besides two
broad sair cases running up the face OF
the end walls as far as the diazoma.
On the east side. just where the curve
Of the sphendon begins, the seats are
broken by a rook-cut passage running
clear through the hill This was probably
made. for the entrance of wild beasts into
the arena. We are told that Hadrian in
troduced here that sort of spectacle, which
seems Dissertation of Crock stadium,
where it was customary for man to meet
man in bloodless and fair encounter of
strength and skill. Traces of an iron rail
ing on the top surface of the bounding
wall Of this arena are an additional token
of this use.

to make i6 suoh. But for some reason it
is still dependent and still a pauper. The
irlny Of Afro Americans who have gone
ahere since 1t was recognized as an indie
pendent sovereignty has been sufficient
TO make it strong and independent if
the conditions prevailing in the country
had been such as to lead to suoh result.
The experience Of the man Haffer has
been that of thousands who have gone be-
fore him. They have gone to the west
coast of Africa with high expectations
and with nothing in their purses. and
when the pinch has come they have either
died or depended upon friends in this
country to furnish them the means to
subsist or to return to the United States.
In a majority of cases they have starved
to death or died from exposure and accli-
nation fever.
In an impassioned outburst of clio
quence at one of the sessions of the Afri-
can Congress, held in conjunction with
the Atlanta Exposition, Gov. Atkinson
said that the negro belonged in the
United States that he did not come hero
of his own accord, that nobody could
compel him to go away, and that he
hoped the negro would continue to re-
main here and grow in the stature of Oft
izenship.
There are vast numbers Of Afro-A meri-
cans in the Southern States who could
well be spared to Liberia or any other
country. They are people who wouldsnot
succeed anywhere. They do not succeed
here. and they would not succeed any
where else; but even these people fare
better here than they would in any other
country on the globe; they receive better
wages; they have better homes; they
have better religious and educational in
struotion; they are better off in every re-
spect.
There is no healthy "Afrioan fever''
stimulated by fanatical or selfish peonle'
the results OF whose Iabors are alwaN :
hown in such representations as Haffer
makes. If the African negro cannot sue
coed in the United States he cannot suc.
coed anywhere in the world.
