CoRCORAN REMAINS.
Negotiations For Union of Bay state
Democrscy Are on

Boston, Oct. 2T.-For what is apparent
ly the final time In this campaign. all
negotiations for peace between the war
ring factions OF the state Democracy
were yesterday declared OFF, leaving tho
situation just where II was before Judge
Corcoran sent In his resignation last
week; for that resignation is now with
drawn Judge Corcoran is still TO con-
tinue as chairman Of the state commit
tee. and there will be no official ratiflca-
tion Of G.. f. Williams and the other
Democratic candidates
1T was thought last week that some
union Of forces might be effected under
q flag OF truce, as II were. and the chair
mans resignation was sent in TO pave
the way for negotiations. Then COM
mittees representing both sides were ali-
pointed for conference. and everything
seemed to be progressing smoothly to-
ward the proposed union OF both factions
In an official ratification meeting next
Friday i'm Music hail. when the negotia-
tions received blow. in the shape of
telegram from G. #. Williams. The tele-
gram said:
Il absolutely refuse further negotia-
tion with enemies on state committee,
and will not occupy the same platform
at any ratification. They have ex-
hausted their power to injure our glori-
Gus cause. and now seek 20 escape re-
sponsibllity. Let them reckon with the
people. They cannot have my hand to
pull them from the ditch"
This at once discounted all the ar
rangements that were made for the
ratification at Saturdays meeting. At
that time conference committees were
appointed from both factions to talk
over the situation and make necessary
plans for a meeting. They were TO re-
port at the executive committee meeting
yesterday noon.
Representatives Of the BryanSewall-
Williams club appeared at yesterdays
meeting, and II took them but short
time TO report 10 the committee that
nothing further could be done toward
making peace. After they had retired.
the committee discussed the situation,
and decided TO postpone the meeting OF
the full state committee, which had been
called for today. indefinitely. They also
communics ted with Judge Corcoran. ap-
prislng him OF the situation. He at
once withdrew his resignation, which had
not been accepted. Notices were then
sent out TO members OF the committee,
announcing that the meeting for today
had been postponed.

last night at the Temple theater in this
city, before an audience that filled the
place TO overflow!ng. The meeting
marked the commencement of a CAM

Work for Fusion.
Every Indication That the
POplliStS are Sore
over the Unpatriotic Action in
Georgia and Tennessee.

Chicago. Oct. 27.--G. r. washburn. OF
the Populist national committee. who
returned from Georgia yesterday. de-
clared In an interview last night. that
all fusion negotiations between Senator
zones and himself are off. He said
There was few states where fusion
was pending. and We were trying 10 con-
summate arrangements. When visited
Georgia / saw that II was vitally essen
tial that all complications should be ad-
tusted at once. that the solid vote of the
Eliddle-of-t the Road Populists might be
secured for Bryan. While We were ar
Raging these matters IL was flashed
over the wires that the Georgia and
Tennessee Democrats had rejected the
overtures made by the Populists. and
adjourned without making counter
proposition. This was most unfortunate.
as 1t occurred at time when IL seemed
apparent tsaat all complications would be
removed, our people satisfied and
Bryan's election certain. As these two
states were involved In our arrange
ments, this action rendered IL impossible
for US 10 continue negotiations. They
were broken off, and a conference ar
ranged with Mr. Watson and Mr.. Reed
at Nashville, that might report to them
the facts Of the case. The responsibility
OF all this must rest squareiy upon the
Georgia and Tennessee Democracy. They
seemed more anxious 10 beat the Popu-
lists than to elect Bryan. and whatever
the results. the odium OF their unpatriotic
actlon must rest upon them.
''ln all justice to Senator Jones, 1
must say. that from the beginning he
has been eager 10 remove all complica-
tions and effect an equitable fusion In
every state. and thus unite all the silver
forces for Bryan and victory
"All negotiations are now at an end,
end whether our people and candidates
should or not our committee desires
that every Populist shall prove his pat
c.otism in helping at the polls to elect
Bryan. just as they did In nominating
him at st. Louis"

COULDN'T BELIEVE HIS EYES.
Strange Effect Of New Fad On = Chicago
Man,

A fat, smooth faced man, with a left
over jag, sat gloomily in the corner Of q
Wabash avenue car and viewed his sur
roundings with hazy and bloodshot eye,
A good looking young woman, whose
attire bctokened familiarity with fashion
able society, got on the car at Congress
street and took q seat opposite. The fat
man apparently did not notice her en-
trance but in few moments he suddenly
fixed his eyes upon her In frozen stare.
while look of doubt fear and hope In
oontorted combination crept over his COUP
tenance.
He tried TO take his gaze from the young
woman, but seemed to be fascinated by
something. After prolonged stare of
half minute or so he suddenly bdated for
the door, and without waiting for the car
TO stop jumped off and rapidly disappeared
down side street.
At that moment the object Of the fat
mans alarm became apparent to the other
occupants of the car. 1t was a harmless
little terrapin attached to q gold chain and
was crawling about over the young wom-
ans bosom in It's efforts TO escape, The
fat man evidently could not believe his
eyes, but the thing was alive.
This little creature Is simply q forcrun-
ner of "A fad that has been taken up by
ultra fashionable people. 1t bids fair to
become more popular than the chameleon,
because the terrapin is less repulsive TO
women and Is not so delicate All 1t re-
quires Is bowl Of water at night and n
few flies for It's breakfast and supper. On
this treatment it will live long time.
His shell Is capable OF taking oDa high
polish, and when attached to gold chain
makes an ornament that is very much ad-
mired by some people Some ladies find
1t difficult to overcome their squeamish-
ness when the cold and clammy pet at-
tempts TO warm its feet on their bare skin,
but when fashion dictates that IL shall be
worn "a little thing like this Is not al

Tho Father OF tho Cocktail.

The cocktail was the invention Of
Colonel Carter Of Culpeper Court House,
Va. Many years ago in that locality
there was q wayside inn named the
Cock and Bottle. the semblance of an
old English tavern, and which bore upon
its swinging sign cock and bottle,
meaning thereby that draft and bottled
ale could be had within-the COCK" in
old vernacular, meaning the tap. he.
therefore, who got the last and muddy
portion Of the tap was said to have re-
ceived the cocktail
Upon one occasion, when Colonel Car.
ter was subjected to the indignity of
having this muddy beverage put before
him, he threw it angrily upon the floor
and exclaimed, Hereafter will drink
cocktails Of my own brewing" and then
and there, inspired evidently by the
spirit Of Ganymede, he dashed together
bitters, sugar. the oil Of lemon peel and
some old Holland gin, and thus and then
and there was the original cocktail con.
cocted. Times.

Color blind.

John Dalton, without whose discovery
Of the laws Of chemical combination
chemistry as an exact science could
hardly exist, was wholly color blind.
His know ledge of the fact came about
by happening of tho sort which we
call chance. On his mother birthday,
when he was q man Of &c, he took her a
pair Of stockings which he had seen in
shop window labeled:
"Silk. and newest fashion"
'Thee has bought me a pair Of grand
hose, John," said the mother, "but
what made thee fancy such bright COL
or! Why, l can never show myself at
meeting In Them"
John was much disconnected, but he
told her that he considered the stockings
to he Of q very proper go to meeting
color. as they were a dark blush drab.
why. they're red as cherry, John, ="
was her astonished reply.
Neither he nor his brother Jonathan
could see anything but drab in the stock
ings, and they rested in the belief that
the good wife's eyes were out of order
until she, having consulted various
neighbors, returned with the verdict,
"Varra fine stuff, but uncommon scar.
lety."
The consequence was that John Dali
ton became almost the first to direct the
attention of the scientific world to the
subject Of color blindness. - Youth g

most beautiful OF all these silicious
sponges 10 Euplectella aspergillum, or,
- It is commonly called, Venus flow
er basket. It is like q beautiful horn
Of CLASSY fbers or graceful bouquet
holder. The first specimen Of this sponge
in England came into the possession Of
the late Professor Owen in 1871. It was
held by him as . great treasure. It was
soon followed by a few more specimens,
which were sold in the market at about
&C apiece, but now that they have been
found % be so plentiful they may be
bought for as many shillings. These
sponges were found by the Challenger
expedition to be growing in vast abund-
ance in certain spots in the deep waters
among the Philippine islands and also
on the coast Of Brazil. "They live
buried in mud which is SO soft and loose
as not to crush them or in any way to
impede the assumption of their elegant
form. and they are supported in their
position and prevented from sinking by
fringe Of CLASSY spiculcs.
1.-THE tube Of this specimen from the
Philippines. after the death Of the
sponge. is frequently inhabited by enc,
sometimes by a pair, Of decapod crusta-
ceans." He reminds ono forcibly Of the
hermit crab we have all seen living in
dead shells upon our own shores.
"These," says the same author, "are so
often found together that only few years
ago paper was written to show that this
sponge was a wonderful habitation con-
structed by this crab GOOD Words.
