Frightening Democratic Prospects.

The recent revelations as to the
forces which stand behind the move
ment to re-cstablish Mckinlcyism
and mckinley prices" have pro-
duccd marked effect on the public
mind.
Coming as they did in conjunction
with high-handed attempts to over
ride the rights of local self.govern-
ment and to set up Republican boss
rule in New York and elsewhere,
these revelations have emphasized
the danger which lies in renewal
of the costly reign of the party of
privilege.
Democratic prospects are bright
ening every day. The convention at
Chicago will have before it no per-
functory duty, but the utilization OF
great opportunity Boston Globe.

The Origin OF the Klnetescope.

The wonders of Edson's invention, the
kinetescope, is not dlmmed by the fact that
the same principles are involved in the con-
struction of the Wheel of Life issued with
the Boston Herald of Sunday, April 5. The
Herald has taken advantage of the old Zoe
trope--has modernized and adapted it to the
purposes of newspaper supplement. which
II can give to every purchaser. The supple
ment is the largest ever issued by any news
paper; is on heavy cardboard, and is so sim
pie in its construction that it avoids my
complication.
The Wheel of Life is Il peculiar optical
effect. and affords an amount of scientific
informatian unusual in newspaper supple
ments 1t can be secured only with the
Boston Herald of April S, 1896.

Rutland's Mlsslnng Boy.

The whereabouts of Charles Win
tiers, the boy who has been missing
from Rutland nearly week, is still a
mystery. Chief of Police Ellsworth
has written to several of the surround
ing cities, but has found no trace of
the boy. At Troy, n. V, several
persons have been arrested on suspi-

New Hampshire's voice is for
either Reed or Mckinley. Both are
good men, declare the Granite State
Republicans. The adoption of a
Reed-McK,nley resolution by the
convention came as surprise and
bitter disappointment to the clamor-
Gus advocates of the Maine man, who
expected unanimous declaration for
him from Senator Chambers State.
Both sides claimed to have controlled
the convention, but neither did, and
the outcome was double-header in
the way of a resolution. New Hamp-
shire Republicans are neither solid
tor Reed, nor quite up to the mark
on the currency question, the dele
gates failing to make an explicit
declaration for gold standard.

Journals of the iron trade, says
the New York Times, have neither
confirmed nor denied the report that
Chicago and Pennsylvania steel COM
panies had Just finished an order for
10000 tons of steel rails for the lap
anese government, the first contract
of the kind made in this country,
Japan having hitherto bought all her
steel rails in England. This is an
important transaction, everything
considered, and it is somewhat
strange that no reference has been
made to it. The report said that the
price to be paid by Japan was $al.a6,
while the price of steel rails in this
country has been $40 at Western
mills and $,S ut Eastern. The Times
says:
1--WE still look to the journals of
the iron trade in this country for an
authoritative statement concerning
this somewhat important transaction.
We want to know whether it is true
that the combined manufacturers of
steel rails. who are enabled by the
tariff duty OF $7.S4 to exact $cS or
$50 from all buyers of rails in this
country. are selling rails abroad at
$2r.26, or at some other price which
is lower than the price of foreign
rails, against the sale of which here
they have asked to be protected by
legislation"

X-Ray Experiments at st. Johnsbury.

Prof. Bracket of St Johnsburv
has been remarkably successful in
experimenting with the N-ray photo
graphic process. but about the most
interesting thing he has accomplished
in that line is the finding of a piece
of steel in the left hand of Havlin
Paddock. Years ago this bit of ''for-
eign substance entered his hand. 1t
has given Mr.. Paddock no trouble,
but, in the intercs. of science, pre-
sumably, he submitted that member
to the new process, and the result
was very satisfactory. The hand is
shown palm up, its skeleton struct-
ure standing out very wildly, and
well down toward the middle of the
palm and nesting close to the bone,
is seen the small piece of steel.
Pictures of the hand are for sale at

UNHAPPY PREDICAMENT OF
FRANK BOUDA, A NORTH DA-
KOTA MERCHANT.
MARRIED A WEST END BELLE
ON SATURDAY, ONLY TO BE DE-
SERTED BY THE BRIDE MON
DAY.
SHE WAS GOING TO HER AUNT.
She Had Loved Her Cousin, Who
Left Shortly Before She Did
Parents Anxious.

Last Saturday morning, Mr.. and Mrs
John Heroff, living on James street.
gave their pretty seventeen-year-old
daughter Kate in marriage to Frank
Bonda, a well-to-do merchant Of Dali
rymple, N. ID. There was pretty
wedding, followed by the congratula-
tions and good wishes of relatives and
friends, and all was as merry as the
proVerbiai wedding bell. Sunday even
ing, less than thirty-six hours after
the ceremony, the newly made bride
arrived at the conclusion that mar
rage was a failure, and left her hus-
band, declaring she would never re-
turn.
Arrangements had been made for the
young couple to return to the hus-
bands home Monday morning, but the
trip had to be called off indefinitely.
The newly made Benedict was at first
surprised and panied at the action of
his bride. but upon the assurance of
her parents that the act was that of
a capricious and impuIsive girl, and
that all would soon be we'll, concluded
to let matters rest for day or two.
IL was supposed the young woman
had gone to the home of an aunt liy
Ing in the neighborhood, and would
remain with her relatives until mat
ters could be adjusted.
Inquiry at the aunt's house yesterday. how
ever, developed the fact that the young wife
mad not been there. at ALL nor had she been
seen by any of her friends. Alarmed at the
situation, the husband and the girls parents
at cnee instituted a search for the missing
bride, but not a trace of her could be found
Bouda first met Miss Heroff at New Year
party, while visiting in st. Paul. during the
past winter. The couple became engaged. the
friends Of the girl say, through the agency
oil her parents, and the wedding day was set
for March 2S. Two weeks ago Bouda returned
to st. Paul to complete arrangements for the
wedding, part of which consisted in the pur-
chase of a trousseau of clothes for his pros
pective wife. A tinge of romance is given
Mrs. Bouda's disappearance by the state
ment that she was engaged to one of her cous-
ms before she met her husband, but that,
on account of her parents objections to the
young man, she married, as many girls do,
the man of her parents choice. The cousin
was present at the ceremony and called upon
the newly welded couple Sunday evening
Shortly after he left the house Mrs. Bouda
threw a shawl over her head, called her sister
aside, and told her she was going away never
to return. This was the last seen of the
young woman, and her friends are making
anxious inquiry concerning her whereabouts.
Mr. Bouda will remain in st. Paul until he
secures some definite information concerning
his missing bride.
