How Clever Irish Girl Got Ahead of the
Academician.

Dumas fils had curt manners. He was
shy. Like most shy people. he vanquish-
ed this defect by going into the other
extreme. Re softened as he grew old
and took a relative polish at the meet

always shrewd; it could be cruel The

lect a tilt between him and an Irish
girl, brought up in Paris who sat op-
posite to him at dinner. She was siDgu-
larly plain. But her ugliness was most
amusing, and she was a witty, good
tempered being. The nose was short,
funny, retrousse, the mouth wide and
laughing and the tongne lisping. but.

Dumas, after staring some time at
her, put bis lorehnger TO the tip of his
semiaquiline nose and pushed il up. He
kept it so for some time, still staring.
The pantomime was grossly impe~tinent.

that the peer girl would burst into tears.
She laughed not bit Historically. and,

schiaparelIi.

Schiaparelli, the astronomer who first
discovered the so called "canals" Of
Mars, did so with much smaller tele-
scope than those i'll use in many other
observatories at that time. And yet he
is very neaasighted man. Garrett p.
Serviss of Brooklyn, in speaking of his
first interview with the eminent Italian,
said that Schiaparelli would hold Wis
itor's card within five or six inches of
his eyes in order to decipher it. The sim
gular part OF this story is not that a
man with such an infirmity should be
able to Guido other astronomers, for
keenness of vision depends rather upon
the retina than the convexity of the
lenses of the eye, and the eyepiece of a
telescope can be focused so as to suit
the latter But it does seem little odd
that the gifted scientist in question
should habitually refrain from wearing
eyeg lasses. Possibly he has theory as
to the effect Of their use upon his visual
mowers

NO DANGER OF ARtPUBucAN PARTY SPLIT
Senators from the Western states As

CHICAGO, Feb 2S.--A special to the Rec
ord from Washington says: The remarkable
speech of MIR. Carter in the senate taken in
connection with that of Mr.. Carlisle at the
Manhattan club in New York few days
ago, has started a good deal Of talk over the
reorganization of the old political parties and
a division of the people upon new lines.
Both the republicans and democrats seem al
most hopelessly divided upon the same issue,
and that most important before the American
people today. The parties are united upon
every other More than half the democrats
in congress declare that they will not support
the candidate to be nominated at Chicago
unless he pledges himself to free coinage.
A conservative portion Of the republicans say
the same concerning the candidate to be
nominated at st. Louis. Why, it is asked,
cannot those in both parties VINO think alike
get together and name men who agree with
them' A great many people believe that If
discussion and division continue much longer
that VIII happen. Secretary Morton sug-
gested such an expectation upon his part In
newspaper interview not long ago and there
are those who claim to have heard the pres-
dent predict a general breakup and reorgan-
ization before the end of this administration.
but it is not likely that there will be any
bolting from either party until after the ma
tional conventions are held and the platforms
are adopted
The republican leaders do not expect any
bolt. Both Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Carter, who
announced the terms of the silver senator's,
declare that they will not leave the repub-
lican party and that they cannot be driven
out. no matter who is nominated.
Il am republican and always expect to
be republican" said Mr.. Teller. IL am
just as good a republican as John Sherman
CT George #. Hoar, and there is Just as much
probability OF their leaving the party as
there is of my leaving it. l have said that
| will not support the republican cand date
for the presidency unless we can make some
satisfactory agreement on the silver ques-
tion. l think that agreement can be made,
but il it is found impossible l will still con-
tinue to be republican. do not intend to
vote the democratic ticket, no matter who is
nominated en- either side"
Senator Carter says: 1--WE are going to
get together before the st. Louis convention.
Tho silver men are not going to bolt the re-
publican party. There are many other issues
upon which we agree, and they would hold
us together no matter how much we might
differ on the money question. Nevertheless,
we western fellows intend to have something
TO say about the management and the policy
Of the party. We don't propose to let New
England and New York lead us around any
longer by the nose"

overrule the chair but he was sustained,

was then stricken out with the avowed in
tention of affecting an equitable adjust
ment" with the senate later.
Mr. Bailey raised a point of order against
the appropriation OF $1,000 for the private
secretary of the president. The law" said
Mr.. Bailey, "fxes the salary at S3500" The
chair sustained the point and the salary was
fixed at the lower figure.
