A Kinsman of Napoleon Wishes to
Succeed German.

Baltimore, Nov SIN the list of eau
didates for the United States Senate to
succeed Mr.. German, u man whom many
knowing politicians tt lux will carry off
the honor is scarcely mentioned for the
place. He is Charles ]. Bonaparte, the
well known Baltimore lawyer and re-
former, and granddaughter of Napoleon
the Great. A few weeks ago, when the
campaign in Baltimore city was in seri-
Gus shape because of no funds, Mr.. Bona
parte is said to have come to the rescue
with the needed $4,000. after other
Senatorial aspirants had refused to put
down a cent.
Mr.. Bonaparte is known to have the
Senatorial bee in his hat. He is no half
way man, and the delivery of the money,
it is reliably stated, was made with the
explicit understanding that the manage
ment was to throw him it's support for
the sena torship. This means that Mr..
Bonaparte will have sure the twenty one
legislative votes Of Baltimore city, and
likely all others that can be commanded
by the management.
Maj. Alexander Shaw, who is now be-
ing prominently mentioned for the place,
had n chance to put up the S25 ,000.ss but,
it is said fatty refused. 1t is known
that two years ago before the election he
was offered the Scnatorship if he would
put $40, 900 into the campaign OF the
eastern shore. He refused, saying it was
a forlorn hope, and Postmaster General
Gary, it is claimed, did likewise. AS
neither did ANYTHING and the fight was
won without the money, Chairman Wei
lington thought he would gobble up the
prize himself. When Shaw ran for
mayor Of Baltimore the managers wanted
him to put up $50, 900. Instead he con-
tributed S., 900 and was defeated by 5000
votes.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW YET.
Meeting Was Stampeded Before Her
Question Was Answered.

There had been several good speak.
ers before Miss Susan Bloomfield
pulled down her vest, ran finger
around the edge of her collar, and adj
vanced to the edge of the platform.
She was large woman, with moles
upon her chin and cheeks, and a com
plexion like a piece of breakfast ba-
con; but she had a convincing way of
shaking the index finger of her right
hand, and she was frequently ap.
plauded by her enthusiastic sisters.
After she had dwelt at length upon
the injustice of depriving women OF
the privilege Of suffrage and had held
man up as an Internal animal, whose
speedy determination was all that
could possibly save the world from 60
ing to destruction, she exclaimed:
And now they want to tell us what
we must wear! (Laughter) They
seek to measure our skirts for us and
to dictate the style of our sleeves

But at this point a meek-looking
man who had been listening quietly
to the roasting of his brothers arose
and said:
"Girls, if any of you know, don't
keep it back. Tell her. Don't let her

The mountain of danger and dread
1 is Slieye-na-Guile, in the Irish
county Of Kerry. The name, "Slieve-
na-Guile" signifies. in Gaelic, "Ileighi
Of Madness" and an appropriate
name it is, if one believes the stories
told by travellers and the local peas
antry. 1t Is an accepted tradition
that any person reaching the topmost
peak of Slieve-na-Guile becomes
instantly insane, and continues in a
state of instantly until taken at least
five Irish miles from the dreaded
mountain Curiously enough, staid
history lends its support to this wild
legend. Only one year agoan Ameri-
can tourist Of position and standing
in his own country got lost while
travelling through Kerry, and mad
vertently scaled Slieve-na-Guile A
searching party set forth, and after
many days, found him raving luna
tic, on the barren wastes of the noun
tain. Again, not many months since,
the political prisoner, Whitestone, on
being released from Dartmouth Jail,
and while waiting for an American
steamer became lost on the Height
of Madness" He also was discovered
entirely crazy But when both of
these persons we're brought to safe
distance from the mountain they at
once recovered their full mental pow
ers. During the past 100 years it is
calculated over so wanderers have
been overtaken with madness while
crossing the mountain.
OF course, the peasantry ascribe to
Slieve-na-Guile magical qualities,
and declare that it was solemnly
cursed long centuries since by st.
Brendan, the tabled first discoverer
of America. But common sense has
another explanation of the mystery.
So utterly desolate and barren is the
mountain, and so constant are the
rains which fall upon it and the mists
which envelop its miles of moor and
heather, that stranger easily loses
his way upon the summit Sense of
locality once lost upon Slieve-na-
Guile, the wanderer in nine cases out
of ten finds himself prisoner, unable
to leave those dreary solitudes Wet
to the skin, shivering and hungry, he
roams from spot to spot, until finally
his mind gives way under the hopeless
struggle to escape, and he becomes
temporarily insane. Rescue, restor-
atives and food soon bring him back
to sanity again.-Cincinnaii Com.

DR.. Geerlings' Discovery.

An extensive economical revolu-
ton is in sight, according to a Berlin
correspondent Of the New York Trib-
une, if the claims of DR.. Primer Geer-
lings turn out to be what the doctor
asserts they are. DR.. Geerlings, a gov
eminent officer of Java and formerly
professor of chemistry at the Unives-
sity of Amsterdam, announces the dis
coyery of simple method of convert
ing potato starch into sugar. He has
lodged his description of the method
with the French academy of sciences,
so as to secure priority for his inven-
ion, although he is not quite ready to
make the details public.

OCEAN STEAMERS.
Possibilities for Great Increase in Size
and Speed

ana speed
We are inclined to believe that by
the time the first decade of the COM
ing century is ended we shall have
steamers crossing the Atlantic that
are at least 500 and possibly 1000
feet in length, ana that these vessels
will have a speed Of at least z or Is
knots an hour while it is not improb-
able that a speed Of 30 knots am hour
will be attained by them. A few
years ago such an extraordinary rate
Of progress through the water would
have seemed impossible, but with
small crafts it has been demonstrated
that this railroad speed is easily posi-

Max ORell. who. for the greater
part of his life. hos been a school
teacher. and keen ubscrverof things
scholastic all his life has remarked
that when The parents Of French
schoolboy have sent him tothe lycec,
there to remain FOR ten years, they
have condemned him to something
equal in severity TO ten years penal
servitude, says the Paris Messenger.
Life in al French lycee is something
between a prison, a barracks and a
convent. The boys are spied upon,
eternally watched, never out Of sight
of the "pion" (spy), have never any
appeal made to their responsibility,
their honor, or their manly stmdi-
ness; are dpgooned, wear numbers,
not names, and their alma mater is
a fit precedent of that life in barracks
that all are destined, sooner or later,
to lead for a time. What, upon the
impossible minds Of boys and chill
dren, is the effect of all this? That
they regard the authorities as their
common enemy, that they arc little
radicals and socialists, with natural
prejudice against control from above;
that the individual amongst them
who can most fearlessly defy the EN-
envy" is regarded as a hero amongst
them. The poor little wretches play
atthesovereign peopleand dream wild
dreams of the liberties which their
prison walls shut out. This is the
natural history of the movement
among the pupils Of the lycees who are
candidates for the Ecole Polytechnic
and for the st, Cyr, against which the
minister of public instruction has just
deemed it necessary to lance special
instructions. The association among
the pupils are called "taupes,' corn
iches" or "cagne," and are little else
than secret societies for the purpose
OF obtaining, illegitimately, those lib
critics which should be granted as a
matter of course. SO powerful have
the societies become that, in Tie words
Of the minister of public instruction
himself, ''they are able to set at naught
the authority of the masters ard often
of the proviseur, himself" Wherever
powerful secret societies exist there
is generally some defect in The or
ganization at which they are aimed
1t is not in England or America that
secret societies are powerful, but in,
Russia and Germany The causes
which account for this are the same
causes in different degrees that ac-
count for the present condition ofthe
French lvcees.
