THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

First Meeting After Election Proved to
Be Quite Interesting.
The first meeting of the Democratic
Club after the late election was held last
evening at their headquarters on Broad
street. The meeting was called together
by President German, and a fairly good
attendance was present. Tie President,
Mr.. German, reviewed the situation, and
gave q few interesting facts concerning
the late election which IL recorded in print
might prove q boomerang to those who
are only too willing to belittle the efforts
Of earnest workers.
A report Of the different election COM
mittees were read and accepted by the club.
Although no definite action was taken in
the matter, enough was said to predict a
radical reorganization in the Democratic
party this time. The members have come
to the conclusion that 1t Is about time to
weed out of the organization that element
in the party who have in the past been
masquerading as Democrats, but who, In

great many would-be critics and men
calling themselves Democrats have been

and particularly prominent members of
the club, concerning the conduct of the
late campaign, notably those who, having
the facilities, failed during the late cam
paign to raise their voices i'm the support
of the Democratic candidates in any one
instance. On the contrary, they endeavored
to belittle the efforts OF honest and con-
scientious men who, though often beaten

ticket. They were not imbued with the

George Hyde Was Badly scaided While at
His Work.
George Hyde of this city was badly
scalded Monday while at his work in a
foundry at Providence. Mr.. hyde is a
moulder by trade, and while in the act of
carrying ladle of hot iron to his frames
slipped and the contents was emptied upon
the floor. Hyde was unable to regain his
balance, and fell into the boiling iron,
striking in such manner that the whole
of his left side was badly scalded. The
young mans sufferings were intense, and
the side which came in contact with the
hot iron was a shocking sight. Hyde was
taken to the Rhode Island Hospital for
treatment, and it will be quite while be-
fore he will be sufficiently recovered to re-
sumo work. The injured man is unmar-
ried, and being quite popular much sym
pathy is expressed at his misfortune.

the club to make an aggressive campaign
for the fall election, which with the sup

ii is hoped, prove successful one.

the spires which thicllly cover the out

at me and said: "Jark!" This was

us, and there was no time for more

the pulpy mass, which now began to
bend to its fall.

killed; but when by means of an AK

it was pulled aside, he gathered himself

CAPTURING AN EAGLE.
How n Young Bird Was Caught for n
PEI Arixnnn

Pet In Arizona.
In st. Nicholas Wolcott LIE Clear
Beard writes of "Moses: A Tame
Eagle" one of his pets while he was
engaged in engineering in southern
Arizona. Mr.. Beard gives the follow
ing account of its capture:
saw on the rounded top OF one of the
giant cactus with which these deserts
are thickly studded an eagle the like of
which, though familiar with the fowls
of that region, had never before seen;
And l may here add that we never did
with any certainty discover the species
to which she belonged. l rode near to
get better view, but she desired no
closer acquaintance; for, after unfold
ing her wings once or twice in hesi
tating sort of manner as l approached,
she finally spread them and flew heav
lily away, couple of pistol shots from
the wagon having only the effect of in
creasing her speed. The cactus on
which she had been resting was very
fair sample of the largest variety in
the world of that interesting plant.
OF the thickness of mans body, it
rose straight from the ground, beau
tiful f1uted column ofNivid apple-green,
to a height of 25 feet, where cluster of
branches nearly as thick as the parent
stem grew out from 1t and turned up
ward, while the main trunk, without
bend, rose several feet higher.
Between two of these branches and
the trunk there was built nest of good
sized sticks, about twice as large as Il
bushel basket; and on this my eyes
| happened to be resting when the noise
of the shots brought above its edge n
little head covered with grayish-yellow
fuzz, out of which peered two big
round eyes with an air of anxious in
| quiry.
In that desert country, far from rail-
ways and towns, we led rather dull
lives; so the several pets we possessed
in the big permanent camp miles away
served in no small measure to amuse
us; and TO these we wished to add
our young friend of the cactus. But
how to get him down was n problem.
Somebody suggested that a volun-
teer climb the cactus, but no one thrust

In Tents of Green.

In tents of green our heroes sleep,
Their slumbers undisturbed and deep;
The flag triumphant waves
Where comrades pass with solemn tread,
Sweet bloom of May again to spread
Above our honored braves
All silent there, In calm repose,
They reck not friends, they fear not foes
Their grounded arms are mute;
No drums redoubliDg beat they hear,
No stern command, no vlctor's cheer.
Or sentry's quNk salute.
In faded blue or faded gray,
The truce of God is theirs to-day,
So let them calmly rest
Who won the field with sure renown,
A starry flag, a foral crown.
Above each hero's breast.
