After the famous fight
Twixt Cossack and Russian.

Unmatched In splendor!

Even i'm this conservative estimate.
based on delegations from silver States
only. the silver Democrats lack but
twenty-six votes OF the requisite majority.
That the table IS conservative will be
readily appreciated when IT Is observed
that II does not include a State where
there Is probability of n divided dele
cation, nor any State where the result
is the least in doubt.
Nearly all OF the States mentioned
have already held their conventions and
declared their positions This Is peculiar
~ the case with Iowa. which was
claimed both for gold and silver. until
the action Of the State convention set
tied the question beyond all peradventure
III Alabama. It will be remembered. heroic
efforts were made by Secretary Her
bert and other official friends Of the ad-
mlnistration and the State was claimed
by them for the gold standard up TO the
very hour when 1t Topped completely into
the silver ranks. Illinois, too, Is now
conceded TO the silver men. the opposing
faction having abandoned the battle and
declined to participate I'm the primaries
Secretary Carisle's speeches and Comp
troller Eckels's labors have gone for
naught. In Louisiana. where no conven-
ton has yet been held, the result is al
ready discounted. There is no doubt OF
the existence, in the New Orleans district
especially. OF a sound-money sentiment
so-called but the gold men concede a
majority for silver. while the free-coinage
advocates claim the State four to one.
The election Of a United States senator
who. to quote Senator Caffery. is crazy
on the silver question" Is an indication
OF the sentiment among the Democrats in
the State.
Mr. West, the writer OF the Posts ar
ticle, thinks the free-sivertes will also
secure the following votes:

main Bachelor.
iLondon It'd bits submits the
following twelve reaeons,why the
unmarried man shwaiH remain
jbachelor;
iFirst-If a man is naturally
selfish, for goodness sake let him
idlways look after No. d.
I Second-If his nD0ther is the
best cook in the world let him
stop with her.
Third-If, whenever he opens
his mouth, he is always putting
his foot in it he had better never
propose to girl.
lFourth-If he is % thorough
miser it were better rih'nt tn re-
main singularly miseruDle.
Fifth = IL he is generally II
woman hater let him become
hermit in the Isle of Man.
Sixth-If he detests children,
and calls them pests, he is evident
ly uncivilized and unworthy to
frequent the haunts of q civilized
community.
Seventh-If physicaily,and con-
stitutionally untitled for matri-
mony it is nothing less than
criminal for him to marry.
Eiehth-If man is blessed
with,a good sister, to whom he is
unkind and even cruel, he is GER
tainly unsuitable for a partner to
any one else's sister.
Ninth-If man ia earning
less salary than the woman whom
he might care to marry is earning
let him not marry her.
Tenth-lf a man would be like
ly to prefer after marriage the
company Of club associates and
the pleasure of the billiard table
to the sweet companionship of a
hallowed happiness of a home let
him refrain from thinking of mar
rying.
Flevensh-If a man will be un-
able to maintain a wife as COM
fortably as she has been used to,
and unless he has something
saved toward future unforeseen
eventualities, he had better remain
bachelor, for when poverty
comes in at the door love flies out
of the wiadow.
Twelfth-7If he would be nn-
willing to frankly and candidly
tell before marriage everything OF
his past life, which, in the event
of his marrying, would, if found
out, cause endless trouble and
lifelong unhappiuess, let him by
all means resaain single.

At the close Of the meeting Mr.. Ham

prospects of South Africa. He said:

in prices was caused by a scarcity of

A NEW TEST OF DEATH.

New applications of the Y rays are
still being made Dr. Carl Brown has
just discovered that they can be used
as a test of death. Cases occur il
which it is desirable to put beyond
doubt the fact that death has super
vened, and some of the methods of do,
ing so are uncertain, while others are
Objectionable Dr. Brown finds that E
Roentgen photograph of a dead limt
is easily distinguished from that of q
living one. The muscular part of the
former comes out decidedly darker
This is not the case a few hours only
after death, but the difference becomes
more and more perceptible as the It's
sue changes proceed. The same means
should be available, on this account
to determine with some nearness the
time which has elapsed since death
took place, an important matter some
times in cases which become the sub
ject of criminal investigation.
