The postoface fight has assumed a
different hue during the past week. A
new candidate in the person of R. Law
renee has gone into the race and says
he is going to be a sure winner. He
claims that all the candidates except
Capt. Titus have withdrawn. in his
favor and he is in direct communica-
tion with President Mckinley besides
having the warm support of his init
mate friend. Hon. Chester I. Long.
Dad" as he is commonly called, has
already forwarded over 200 recommend.
ations from our leading republican pol
iticians to President Mckinley and is
still hard at work. This is pretty good
considering that he has only recently
entered the race. The INDEX is not a
republican paper and hence our say
will cut no ice, but just the same we
are for Dad from now until the con-
testants pass under the wire in the final
heat.

This report again dazed the conven-
ton and the delegates were instantly
put into hypnotic sleep long enough
to insure adoption. But presently,
though too late, the trick began to re-
veal itself, and j. D. Fair moved TO
make g. NJ. Martin a regular delegate,
who had previously declined as an alter
nate. But the chair refused to enter
tain the motion. The vacancy caused
by Mr.. Martins withdrawal as an al
ternate was filled by the appointment
of Mr.. Fair and the convention was
Systematically adjourned before any
further disturbance could be raised,
which was now plainly brewing. The
delegates quietly wended their way
down the stairs and were not long in
hitting the road homeward. They
tried to console themselves by asking
each other what they had come to town
for; they had done nothing but witness
their deliverance. They were denied
the power to vote for delegates and
were simply used as tools of the ma
chine.
The secret of the whole affair was
that the convention desired to select
delegates whom the bosses did not de-
sire and the bosses desired delegates
whom the convention did not desire.
The bosses were hopelessly in the mi
norlty and we're compelled to resort to
strategy to carry the day. They won
easily and ninety per cent of the dele
gates are sorrowfully looking for the
fOol-killer.

OLDEST TYPE or REPTILE.
Little known Up to Now About the
Curious Tuatara Lizard.
From the London Daily Mail.

From the London Daily Mail.
For the last two years Prof. Dendy Of
Canterbury College, New Zealand, has been
minuteiy investigating the development Of
the tuatara lizard. declared TO be the most
remarkable reptile now living in New Yea
land, and detailed account of the results
of his researches has just arrived in Eng
land and will shortly be published. AL
though the lizard in question is said to be-
the oldest existing type of reptile up to the
present time, little has been known of its
life history, as it is very rare and shy and
retiring in its habits.
The tuatara lizard was first mentioned in
z diary kept by Mr.. Anderson, the COM
panion of Capt. Cook; but the first really
detailed account of the reptile was given
by Dieffenbach in 1S43. when he said: Il
lad been apprised of the existence of "A
large lizard which the natives call tuatara,
or narara, and of which they are much
afraid"
Owing to the rarity of the tuatara lizard,
the New Zealand government passed an act
TO prohibit the taking or Staying of the
reptile, but, as usual, forgot one OF the
most important points-namely, the inser-
tion Of clause forbidding the collecting of
the eggs.
Fortunately for the tuatara, however, Z.
Henaghan, the principal keeper on Ste
phen's Island, appears at present to be the
only man who knows where to look for
them, although il is stated that two Ger
man collectors have been lately making
vigorous but vain efforts to obtain speci-
mems of the eggs.
Prof. Dendy had permission granted him
by the government TO collect both eggs and
adults, and with the help of Mr.. Henaghan
he has been so successful in his inVestig5-
tions of the life history of this interesting
reptile that many new and important facts
will now be made known 10 the scicntinc
world.
The adult animal has a spotted skin and
a crest of separate white, fat, sharp splnes
and is possessed of three sets of teeth.
On Stephens Island the eggs of the lizard
are found to be laid in November, and the
embryo pass the winter in state of hi
bernation unknown to any other vertebrate
embryo, and do not emerge from the egg
until nearly thirteen months have elapsed.
One curious fact that has come to hight is
that in the latter stages of its development
the skin of the young animal has a strong
ly marked pattern of longitudinal and
transverse stripes, which disappear before
Matching, giving place to the spotted skin
of the adult animal
This lizard is particularly interesting ow-
ing to the fact of its being allied to the ex-
unct reptiles OF the Triassic Age.

Special Dispatch to The Evenin: star.
NEW YORK. November 1S.-The buying
of stocks in today's market was pretty gen.
orally distributed throughout the commits
sion house circle, but in many instances was
needed 10 effect the reactionary tendency
of the room. London bought and sold the
same stocks, showing a difference of opin-
ion as TO The course of prices from tbs level
Foreign buying was estimated at about
1900 shares and the selling at about one
half that amount
The shares in which the best results were
OBTAINED were those under the direct per-
scnal supervision of eX-Gov. Flower
The buying of Peoples Gas was especially
good. and a one time Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit seemed 10 be on the verge of anoiher
advance.
The granger shares we're given good sup
port, but the customary nd-of-,be-we.k
realizing was too persistent to admit of anv
substantial gains.
The selling of the Northern and Union
Facifc issues was factor which worked
directly against Improvement in all de-
par tmsntS- This selling was again cr.di,ed
TO the Internal friction over ,tlvidends but
IN ADDITION to this fact there We're numer-
Gus rumors of a disagreement over admis-
sion OF territory and the ike.
AT the decline the Morgan buying was
said TO be liberal in volume, and there is
Willingness to take stock wherever the
d1sgruntied following are no longer willing
to carry it until the dividend problefh is
adjusted.
Federal Steel issues We're sold by the
speculative element, but these shares also
were said to find a stronger resting place
at each concession. There is weiI-found-
ed belief in immediate dividends on the pre-
ferred stock of this company, but there is
no organized effort to force the price up
just now.
The buying combines a fair percentage of
investment orders, and once the enterprise
shows signs of actual development the
ready market for the stock will not be
questioned.
The industrial shares were active and ir
regular under the influence of maripula-
tive or purely professional dealings.
On all sides the belief is strong in the fu-
ture of the market, but there is some de-
gree of caution still inspired by possible
developments ut Paris.
The one weak spot in the market is dis
tinctiy in the anthracite coal shares. Della
ware and Hudson declined , per cent from
Yesterdays prices under the influence of a
reported decrease in the next dividend ana

Courageous Animals.

fTon tHt SptctftOf-
In North America one of the largest of
the weasel family is the FISHER" a yery
large, long-furred polecat, living mainly
by the waterside. and, like many others of
the tribe. very partial to fish. 1t weighs
about sixteen pounds and it's long, richly
colored fur is exported in great quantities
to different parts of Europe, though not
often used in this country. A trapped
fisher" will attack any one who comes
within reach of the trap chain, and when
free will beat off any dog of twice its size.
But perhaps the most striking example of
the courage of the smaller species yet re-
corded is that shown by small variety of
jungle cat known as the fishing cat which,
though 10 relation to the Canadian fish
er, Is quite q 8 courageous. One of these
which was kept in a menagerie broke
through into the next cage, and there, at
tackled and killed a leopard which was
three times its own size.
The Indian mongoos possesses all the
courage of the polecat, together with amia-
bility and a regulated mind. 1t turns it's
pluck and prowess to good ends and we
imagine it to stand at the head of the list
of the smaller animals If quality as well as
quantity Is demanded as a mark of in
trepidity. There is no doubt that the mon
COOS realizes the deadly nature of the CO.
bras bite. Its intense excitement is strong
evidence of this But a mongoos has been
known to fight just as bravely against 9TH
er foes. One was seen to attack and drive
off large greyhound which 1t fancied
was hostile to It.

FOR THE TIMID.
An Apparatus Intended to Prevent
Premature Burial
From the London Mail.


From the London Mail
Count Michael Won karnce Karnicki the
czar's chamberlain, has invented and per
fected an exceedingly clever apparatus for
the prevention of that bugbear of the ner-
vous, living burial. The apparatus was
offered as gift to the French govern
ment, VINO still have its acceptance under
conSidera ton.
A tube protrudes four feet to four feet and
half above the surface of the grave and
upon the top of it is fixed small metal
box with spring lid.
To thetlower end of the tube, which just
enters the upper lid of the coffin is fixed
All india rubber ball, charged pretty fully
with air, so that the slightest extra pres
sure upon it would cause discharge of
air upwards through the tube and thereby
release the lid of the box, which sprinys
open at the slightest pressure
The opening of the lid automa tica lly
raises a small flag, and sets an electric bell
in motion, which rings Immediately over
the grave and in the sexton's house where
it also releases a flap which indicates the
grave over which the box has opened
AS will be, seen, the slightest sign of
breathing on the part of the buried per-
son, or the slightest motion of the heart
will sufffI1e to open the box and sound the
alarm, and tfeOpen box, by a clever and
iEtribate,faittle; mechanism pumps a suffi-
cient quantity or air down into the coffin
to preserve the buried person from suffoca-
ton whileea ssistanee is arriving.
Count karnicki, 1t may be added Is firmly
coEvincedf, thatfthousands of persons are
buried alive ewgy year in a state of leth-
