Pigmies are represented to-day by q small number of tribes in Africa, threat ened with early eStermination, and by 2.220 Weddas of the Island of Ceylon. whom the British government is about to destroy under the pretext of the benefits of civilization. These dwarfs were the advance guard of the human race. They were the first inhabitants of India. They occupied all Africa from the Cape of Good Hope to Sahara, and during the stone age the center of Eu- rope, where they lived probably before the arrival of the men of tall stature Who annihilated them.-N.

in the municipal machine, he coald nightly further his own political for tunes. The effectiveness of his shFeWd care for these was manifest when he in turn became mayor.
 While he was an occupant of the room of the city hall which Col. Strong is about to vacate, MT. Gilroy made record as the busiest mayor the city had ever known, and the one who could dispatch the greatest amount of work in the shortest time.
 "I am sometimes unable to get more than 30 effective minutes out of given hour" said a friend 10 Gilroy one day. "and I never have been able to squeeze out more than the regulation 60, but you seem to have the power of doing the work of at least 200 minutes in every hour"
 MT. Gilroy is one of the most rapid and logical takers in ordinary conyer- sation it has ever been the fortune of the writer to meet. When mayor of New York he never declined to submit to an interview, but unless the reporter wrote shorthand the report was pretty certain to be defective. Gilroy's words fairly tumble over one another, he rolls them out so fast

The Oldest Cycling Club.

Having been formed in 1870, the Pick wick Bicycle club, of London, is prob ably the oldest organization of it's kind in the world. A curious and novel GUS tom of the club is that each member takes the name of some character in the Pickwick papers, and is referred to at club meetings under his Pickwickian title. The membership at present num- hers about 13o. George R. Sims, the author and playwright. is one of the leading spirits of the club. The oldest wheeling club in this country is the Boston Bicycle club, which was or gapized in 1878.

The Woman sufEragists.

Two at least of the women who will be prominent delegates to the coming National Woman's Suffrage Associa- tion convention will go from the Great CT New York-Elizabethl Cady Stanton and Lillie Devereux Blake. No patient and long suffering apostles ever labored harder for the bringing about of any political change than these two women have for the enactment of woman's suffrage law in the state of New York. Over and over again they have believed their pet project was about to be car ried through, and over and over again they have found themselves mistaken.
 Perhaps Mrs. Blalze's greatest disap- pointment regarding "equal suffrage" came to her IA years ago, when bill prohibiting the state courts from con- struing the constitution to refer to men in every case where citizen is mentioned was before the legislature. The late James ". Husted, the Bald Eagle of Westchester,e had given his word 10 do all he could to get the bill through the lower house at least, and out of respect to his wishes certain other members of the assembly, sure that 1t would be defeated, voted in its favor. There were so many of these that before anyone quite realized it a

up with the country" he started a magazine named "The St. Nicholas, 5 there was no surprise. He had been known from boyhood by the friends of the family as a dabster in rhyme, and this accomplishment had, no doubt, helped him in his social campaigns. It is not now clearly remembered at Owego who was the responsible editor of 'The St. Nicholas" but Platt was the humerist of the staff, and his de- partment was known as Our Stock ing"
 He also wrote satirieal articles on politics which are said to have pos sessed real strength. Only few copies of the magazine are now in existence for, of course, it was short lived-and to-day money would not buy these relics of the Easy Boss early career.
 Platt had musical as well as literary tastes in the fifties, and he organized a male quartette to sing glees during the campaign in 1856, when Fremont ran for the presidency. The names of the other three members are lost, and probably no one of them ever attained
 
 the leader, and he also composed the songs that were sung. Fremont was not elected, but Tioga county gave a big republican majority, and Platt's singing is believed to have helped him greatly in getting his first political foothold.
 Ex-Mayor GiIroy.
 Former mayor of New York, Thomas r. Gilroy, is one of the most interest ing of all the men likely to profit by Tammany's resumption of the munich pal saddle. For some reason not clear ly understood by the masses. he was not very active while the campaign was on; though he occasionally put forth few words for Van Wyck's cause, not ably in one or two interviews which ap- peared in Blakely Halls Telegraph. Yet in spite of certain coldness known to exist between the ex-mayor and Mir. Croker, Gilroy is rractically certain of place of prominence and trust under the first chief executive of the Greater New York.
 Gilroy was poor man when Abra- ham s. Hewitt was elected mayor some years ago, but he stood high in local democratic circles. having performed yeoman service for Mr. Hewitt, and against Teddy Roosevelt, the repub- liean nominee, and the late Henry George. It was to reward him for this that Mr. Hewitt appointed Gilroy to one of the best places in his gift. where, in addition 10 being an important wheel

A CANDIDATEF JUDICIAL
HONORS.

In another column Mr.. Charles H..
Stanley announces his willingness to
have his name presented to the Demo
cratic convention as candidate for one
of the Associate Judgeships of the 9TH
Judicial Circuit, which comprises the
counties of Prince Georges Charles,
St. Mary's and Calvert.
Mr.. Stanley's long life of usefulness
and honor, as private citizen, has en-
deared him to the people of this coun-
ty; and it is but fitting that he she uld
now receive recognition from his friends
for his never failing courtesy and
kindly offices in many capacities,
and be elevated Ivy them to position Of
honor and trust in the public service.
1t is true that there are many gentle
men in Southern Maryland who would
grace the Bench, and who have claims
u, on the Democratic party for rccoy
milton, but Mr.. Stanley's friends think
they see in him the ideal candidate for
the OCCASION; and without attempting
or wishing to disparage the claims of
others, they insist that he has attri-
butes which would alorn the Judiciary
Of Maryland, and that as Judge he
would hold place second to no one
in dignity, learning, force and honor.
For a number of years, Mr.. Stanley
has been one of our most cherished
friends, and with the same degree of
pleasure with which we have served
other friends in the past. we shall now
serve him. 1t is possible that circum-
stances may so shape themselves that
he will be accorded the honor of a
unanimous nominations; and to that end
the ENQUIRER, realizing that the party
has nothing to hazard, will endeavor
to promote spirit of conciliation, SO
that the candidate to be presented to
the Judicial convention by this county
may enter the campaign under such
auspices as will almost ensure his elec-
ton.
