Remarkable Experiments Made With the X
Rays in Europe Reported by Consul Con-
eraI Dekay.
United States Consul General De-
Kay at Berlin has submitted to the
state department. an Interesting report
upon later developments Of the X rays,
accompanied by . pamphlet In which
Professor Roentgen, the discoverer,
explains his researches. The consul
generals report gives many facts that
have been discovered by Europern ex-
periments in regard to the rays, which
are unknown in this country.
For instance, he reports that they
have been used to detect false pearls
after an exposure Of 45 minutes and an
Austrian professor has discovered
false diamonds. A Rorliner has made
& special Photographic paper for the
direct reception Of the rays. In con-
sequence 1t is NOW necessary to mako

preston incident to tho negative is OBJ
Waited.
1t has been found that many pictures
may be taken at onco In this manner
by using a packet Of the sensitive pa
per, since tho rays penetrate all OF the
layers. Rector Render, In Spies, has
succeeded In passing the rays through

A CLOSE SHAvE.-A Now Yorker
tells this story of a close shave: II
was lying back In the chair of my IA
vorite barber, enjoying his skfllful
manipulations, when all OF sudden
his eyes bulged out as II they intended
to pop from his head, and tho razor
droped from his hand. The next min
ute the usually staid old German began
doing close Imitation of an Apache
war dance, all the whlle holding firmly
to q square bit OF paper we'll covered
with lather. When the old fellow had
sobered down little he pointed to an
advertisement on the bit OF paper ask.

whereabouts OF certain man and stat.
ing that an inheritance of $50, ,OOC
awaited him In Germany. My barber
was the man. The piece Of paper was
the one Of many torn from an old
newspaper to be used as shaving paper
and 1t had happened to fall to him out
OF the half dozen BARRIERS In the shop
He had finished using 1t and was about
to throw 1t away, whom his eye caught
his name printed on 1t. Another In

State Democracy, has issued the follow
Ing call for q meeting OF that commit
tee on the 7th Of April:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 13.
TO the Members OF the State Demo

requiring the selection of delegates
from eacn Of the several States to as
semble In Chicago on July 7th next
for the purpose of nominating candi.
datos for president and vice president
OF the United States, tho Democratic
State executive committee Is hereby
requested to meet In tho city of Col
umbia on Tuesday, tho 7th day of
April, 1896, at the hour OF 8 o'clock D..
m. for tho purpose oftaking the neces-
eary steps looking to the organization
Of the Democratic party and to the as
elect delegates tc the national conven.
tion, as provided by article Nv of the
constitution Of tho party.
Recognizing az we must tho wide
difference of opinion as to the details
OF party politics and party manage
ment, yet fully alive to the present
emergency upon tho Democracy, we
can not but realize that the party's
purpose and success can only be at
tained BY discipline and organization.
AS Understood by us the political
hope OF the country Is conferred In the
Democratic party. It's principles,
Jefferson and jackson, are absolutely
necessary to maintain the equal rights
of all tho States and to secure the wise
and economical government OF tho
country. Whatever differences there
may be as to the application of tho
principles for which the party stands,
all must agree that only by harmony,
concession and loyalty to the party can
Its great ends be accomplished.
Tho Representatives OF this State
should, therefore, 20 TO tho Nationol
Convention with . afxedadeterminatio
TO meet their brother Democrats in O
spirit Of amity and with o view to
harmony. United and in perfect &C.
cord we ought to be able to continue
In control Of the government. With
determination to produce harmony
We can gain much in the direction OF
our desires as to the application Of De-
mocratic principles. We can gain
nothing except the defeat of tho Demo
cratic party by open declaration of our
determination to disorganize II we can
not nave our particular views carried |
out. However we may differ as to de- |
tails with our brother Democrats from
other sections OF the Union, We all |
know that the Democratic creed and |
Democratic control of the govern
ment are far better for us than any
thing we may expect from our oppo-
nents.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

Mckinley loads--Othsrs Follow--The Race
Close Ono. f
The ringing news from the Ohio
| State convention, followed by that
from Kansas, has thrown damper
over the booms of all the Presidential
candidates except Mckinley. The en-
thusiasm with which the Ohio Re-
publicans opened their campaign has
made the Reed mon especially glum,
lor 1t was expected that there would
Dc some disagreement at Columbus,
which would prevent unanimous in.
dorsement OF the Ex-Governor. But
the words OF Foraker and tho en-
thusiasm with which HcKinley's name
was greeted dissipated these hopes.,
and the boomers of the other csndi.
dates have been brought face to face
with the fact that Mckinley Is now in
the lead and is there to stay.
The break in Illinois and the stand
taken by Mr.. Magee at Pittsburc for
Mcklnley have added to the alarm.
UP to now the Presidential truetn
have denied that Mckinley would 90
into the convention at St. Louis with
substantial lead, but they now not
only concede that he will lead on the
hrst ballot, but confess fear that ha
Will grow to strength after that. They
nave not, however, given up all faith
In the favorite son scheme, and from
now on will try to strengthen their
combination. Within the last three
or four days there have been several
serious conferences among the trus-,
tees OF the Presidential Trust" as to
some new move to block the Mckinley
boom. Fresh missionaries are to he
sent out over the country. Their
latest attempt, trying to force John
Q. New, OF indianapolis, into the COM
bine, and to make him the favorite son
OF Indiana, does' not seem to have
worked we'll.
Another plan is to quicken the pace
In the House Of Representatives SO
that 1t can adjourn early in May, at I
least a month before the convention
meets In St. Louis. The Reed men
think that with Congress out of the
way, and the members at home, the
old feeiing for Reed may be awakened
and he will 20 to the convention much
stronger than he ie now.
The meeting of the Iowa State con-
vention to-day Is expected to put fresh
spirit into the Allison boom, which,
has been languishing for some time.
Mr.. Allison Is chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee in the Senate.
and he will cooperate with Mr.. Reed
In fighting for an early adjournment.
The friends OF both claim that 30 long
as Congress Is in session, neither Is
free to pay strict attention to his
chances for nomination. Both the
Allison and Reed managers have dis
tributed campaign buttons all over
the Capital. The Allison button has

the occasion being a success
full ball. Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn
spared no pains in the prepara-

by Mrs. Mccarthy, Miss McGov-
ern, Messrs. Coryell, Easley and
Merriot, rendering the time so
pleasant that when the guests
departed in the morning they
were entertaining the most am.
