that the fragments of "Parsifal" and Tristan
that she had played him were simply a few

other people, however, and no doubt the joke
has reached the critics ears by this time.

What would it profit good Democrat
to help Rainey beat Buckley or to help
Buckley beat Rainey?
The Republican party has its factions,
but in the Democratic camp it Is the fac
tions that have the party.
Buckley and Rainey are right in one
thing. The only way to get the dlscord
out of their camp is to fight 1t cut.
Municipal politics means business, and
now what business have either of the rival
Democratic bosses in this municipality
The talk about capital coercing labor to
vote for the plain interests of labor is the
rawest roorback ever known in any cam
paign.
Trade is waiting simply for the cam
paign to get out of the way. There will
be big and booming revival as soon as
Mckinley is elected.
As not a single California industry has
been benefited by Democratic legislation
why should any Californian vote to con-
tinue such legislation?
The Rainey Democrats are reaching for
the Non-Partisans and the Buckley crowd
is reaching for the Populists. There is no
end to the gall of either faction.
John Boyd Thacher's eminence in poll
tics was brief and feeting. but it was long
enough to satisfy the people of New York
and he will never be eminent again.
Between the Buckley machine and the
Ralney machine the respectability of the
Democratic party begins to look as if it
had passed through sausage factory.
There is but one Repu blican ticket in
this City-that is the ticket headed by
Colonel Charles L. Taylor. Now then,
loyal Republicans, get in and work for 1t.
Now that the "push" is fighting and
the ''pull" is wrangling, good citizens
have their chance. Let Us elect Colonel
Taylor and his ticket and make a clean
sweep of the bosses.

PLEASANT TRIP.

DR.. and Mrs. w. w. Hawkes., who
have just returned from an extended
trip through Florida and the Bahamas,
report having had most delightful
journey. In speaking of the wonderful
developments of Florida, he said that
the governor Of the Bahamas came over
on the same steamer to see H. w. Flag
Ter, the Standard Oil magnate, who has
made such wonderful improvements
there in the land of flowers.
'Flagler has built his railroad sys-
tenn almost the entire length of the
east coast of Florida. He had also
built a canal the past year to connect
New River Sound and Biscayne Bay.
For every mile of canal dug he receiv-
ed 5000 acres of land from the state.
He is building a pier out into the ocean
at Palm Beach, and had this made a
port of entry by special act of congress
last January. Now at Miami they say
that he promises to build the largest
city in the state in three years. We
saw the city partly laid out and a chan
mel being dug to the sea, some half
dozen miles through the shallow Bis
cayne Bay, for the steamers he is to en-
ter in this port"

Rescuad From Drifting Ice.

Dunkirk, March 22.-Yesterday after
noon about 4 o'clock the ice on Lake
Erie parted on the shore and started
toward Canada with about 200 fisher
men. A stiff south wind was blowing,
and before the men became aware of
their perilous position quarter of a
mile of water was between them and
land. Rescuing parties We're quickly
organized and boats launched. The
boats overlook the floating ice, and by
8 o'clock last night all the fishermen
adrift had been rescued, as far as
known.
In the meantime another piece of ice
near Battery Point broke loose and
started off with a number of men on it.
They were rescued without difficulty.
The ice is breaking up rapidly in this
vicinity

Swent Over the Falls.

Lewiston. Me, March 22.-Chief En-
gineer William A. Allen of the Maine
Central railroad was killed here yester-
day afternoon. He was on his way to
Lewiston to inspect the work of build
ing a sidewalk in the lower chords of
the Maine Central railroad bridge over
Lewiston Falls, and as the train from
Portland was passing into,the bridge
he went out on the rear platform to see
how the work was progressing. He was
on the north side of the platform and
at the second pier from the Auburn
end. when his head struck one of the
uprights on the side of the bridge.
Workmen saw him tumble forward,
lose his hold upon the railing and fall
clear of the bridge.
The bridge at this place is fifty feet
above the upper fall of the dam, and
Mr.. Allen turning over in his plunge,
struck the pole of the bridge twice. He
fell at the foot of the upper dam, where
the water, at freshet pitch, was foam
ing furiously. He was not dead at the
time, for workmen saw him struggle.
Then he was beaten down by the rap
ids and f1oated in the whirlpool toward
the principal fall, known as West Pitch.
The distance is from 300 to 500 feet, and
he was swept on the Jagged rocks. Here
his hand and arm were seen protruding
and then he took the final plunge and
was seen no more.
Mr.. Allen was born at Bath, Me, in
1852. He was a son of the Rev. Charles
r. Allen of the Maine Methodist con-
ference. a. graduate of the Maine State
college, and had been in the employ of
the Maine Central for almost twenty
years.

A Prominent Meriden Man Talked of to DO
Methodist Conference Lay Delegate.
Considerable interest is developing
among the Methodists of the New York
East conference over the approaching
election OF two lay delegates to the
quadrennial general conference which
win convene in Cleveland in May. The
selection is made by the lay electoral
conference which is held simultaneously
with the ministerial conference which
will be held in Trinity Methodist church
in this city the first week in April.
According to the custom one of the
lay delegates to the general conference
is chosen from Connecticut and the
other from Brooklyn or some other
point on Long Island. The persons
who are already recognized as candi-
dates for election as the Connecticut
delegates are Judge George H. Cowell
of Waterbury, Cephas B. Rogers of
Meriden, and John H. Sessions of Bris-
toll.
The Connecticut lay delegate in 1892
was Congressman e. j. Hill and in 1888
Ex-Governor Phineas C. Lounsbury was
the delegate.
The choice of ministerial delegates is
beginning to attract much attention
among the clergymen of the New York
East conference.

Remorse Mad Him Confess

WilkesbaTe, March 22.-It became
known Friday that Judge Woodward
would soon pronounce sentence of death
on the colored man, Nelson Miller, who
some time ago was convicted of being
T Implicated in the mountain cutoff muir
der, which occurred October 9, 1894, near
this city. -Four persons were at the
time killed. and six injured by the use
of dynamite.
Frank Schafer colored, who is in jail
awaiting trial for the crime, learned
of this yesterday, and sent for his at
torneys, and said that he could not rest
longer until he had made a confession
that Miller was innocent. Miller had
been convicted of murder in the first
degree on the testimony of Schafer
| alone Schafer was taken before a not
airy public and said:
my testimony in the Nelson Miller
case was false, and / was induced to
perjure myself on the promise of GER
tain detectives offering me $1,000 and

4 GREAT SUCCESS.
Captain ID. S. Thomas Lecture on "BaI-
looning''-To be Repeated This Weel,

Captain ID. S. Thomas Lecture on "BaI-
looning'-To be Repeated This Week
Saturday.
Captain David S. Thomas gave his
interesting and novel illustrated lecture
on his ballooning adventures at War
ner hall Saturday evening under the
auspices Of Admiral Foote post, G. A.
r. The lecture was an overwhelming
success. The hall was crowded to it's
utmost limit, every available space be-
ing occupied After every seat had
been filled and the aisle room utilized
as far as the fire ordinance would per-
init, people continued arriving and had
to be refused entrance. 1t was decided
to repeat the lecture this coming Sat
urday evening at the same place in Or
der to accommodate the disappointed
ticket holders. The enthusiasm mani
tested is fine compliment to Captain
Thomas popularity. A large sum of
money must have been raised for the
relief fund.
| The lecturer was heartily welcomed
on his appearance. He began by ex-
planning that he was only an amateur
aeronaut and did not pose as a pro-
fessional. He had journeyed skyward
some thirtyfour times. Surely on
hearing the speaker it may truly be
said that his trips were certainly suffi-
GENTLY thrilling to satisfy any ordinary
ambition. He spoke of his intimate as
ISOLATION for many years with the ia
nous Donaldson, whose sad fate and
the mystery of which thrilled the Am
erican people.
Captain Thomas paid high tribute to
Donaldson's fine qualities, both as a
gentleman and as scientific aeronaut
He exhibited a picture which showed
him to have been an extremely hand
some man.
The lecturer told of his aeronautic
experiences with Donaldson, and also
with Frederick E. Cover, who is best
known to history as the husband of
| Madame Lillian Nordica, the prima-
donna. There has been considerable
doubt expressed as to whether Cover
was really dead or only in hiding. Cap
tain Thomas knows that Cover lost
his life while trying to cross the Eng
lish Channel, and says that Nordica is
being unjustly treated by the attempts
to make a scandal over her approaching
marriage with the German tenor
Doehme. Captain Thomas also gave
details of a trip taken with some Pitts
burg ladies who wished to see the stars
from a balloon. A midnight ascent was
made and when they were at an alti-
tude of two miles and the stiffness was
solemn and impressive, the ladies sang
Nearer My God to Thee with mar
vellous effect. AS Captain Thomas told
this story the hymn was beautifully
sung by a quartet behind the scenes.
The lecture is unusually novel and en-
PERTAINING and was greatly enjoyed by
all present. Miss Neva Squires and
William E Morgan varied the program
with vocal selections. 1t is understood
that the same artists will appear next
Saturday evening.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

Toward a Needed Postal Service Improve
ment.
The post office clerks throughout the
state and country are engaged in an eff
fort to secure Reconsideration of du-
ties and salaries which will be satisfac-
tory to the post Office department and
themselves
The result of their work in this direc-
ton is to be found in the bill known as
H. r. 1878 and the endorsement of the
department is an evidence that the
measure is both fair and businesslike.
1t requires only a slight appropriation
the first year, and in this connection it
may be stated that if the senate re-
stores the $3.50, 900 which was taken from
the amount estimated as necessary for
clerk hire during 1851 in the post office
appropriation bill, the department will
be able to put the bill into operation
the LIST of July without any additional
appropriation.
