The Democratic leaders are .sworking'
the Populsts with their usual success in
those sections where they have been able
20 induce them to seriously consider the
Eusion proposition. Iu Oregon they have
made complete fusion by which they
give the PJpulists the Governorship and
some other State officers, shrewdlv retain
the members of Congress for themselves
and their allies, who sail under the name
OF Silver Republicans. This is simply
part of the general scheme by which
the Democrats hope to obtain the CO.
operation of the Populists and themsel YES
get all the advantages from ma tional
standpoint, leaving the Populists few
crumbs of State patronage and keeping
them in position where they can have
no influence in national affairs.
That table comparing prices of farm
products on March 10, 1898, with those of
July 10, 1896, the date of the adoption of
the Chicago platform, made up from
market quotations of the Omaha World
Herald, has created quite a furry among
the silver people in Congress. 1t was
published in the Congressional Record by
southern Congressman, and on the
following day Representative Bailey of
Texas, the leader of the silver element in
the House, moved that it be stricken from
the Record, basing his demand upon the
technical grounds that it was inserted in
the record upon misrepresentation as to
its nature. The obvious inference is that
the silver people are unwilling to see an
official record made of the fact that all
farm products have advanced in the face
of the fall of silver, as shown by the en-
forced admissions of their leading political
organ.

Mr.. Frank w. Very of the Laid OBJ
servatory, Providence, R. l., has made
some curious observations on the
flight of migrating birds seen at night
crossing the surface of the moon. He
watched them with a telescope of four
inches aperture, magnifying forty
times. The observations were made
in the latter part of September. The
great majority of the birds moved
from north to south, and. travelled in
little companies. Their average speed,
as calculated by Mr.. Very, was sixty
seven miles an hour, although some
appeared to travel at the rate of more
than one hundred miles an hour,

Triple Murder in Georgia.

A triple murder was committed at
Fairburn, Ca, the other day. At day
break Henry Turner, an Industrious
farmer, and his young wife and sister
went into the fields to hoe potatoes.
This was the last seen Of them alive.
They did not return home at noon for
dinner, and friends, becoming alarmed,
started in search of them. They had
not got further than a quarter of q
mile from the house when they dis
covered the three missing ones, each
face downward in the burrows, dead
from pistol ball wounds in the head.
Their position indicated that they had
been taken by surprise and shot from
the rear, having no opportunity to de-
tend themselves. There is no clue
whatever to a solution of the crime,
and no enemies Of the three are
known.

exploded, causing the tragedy. This
version of the affair is not accepted by
the authorities, and, as Sanchez lied in
his first story of the killing, effort will
be made to force a further confession
from him. That Sanchez deliberately
started on a career of crime, in the
hope of evading detection, all the an
tecedent circumstances connected with
the killing of his wife seem to show.
Developments since the tragedy point
to the fact that he was devising means
to make way with her SO as to avoid
detection. He seems to have started
well on his Holmes-like career, but
lacked the mental acumen and shrewd-
ness to carry it to a successful end.
1t has come to light that since his re-
urn to Denver with his young wife he
has been asking acquaintance as to
the effect of certain p~oisons on the hui
man system. 1t Is known that he WAS
in the habit of administering morphine
in small quantities to his wife for
sleeplessness, and one of the theories
Of the officers Is that, finding himself
embarrassed for money, he determined
to kill her by poison on the night OF
the tragedy, but that when he found
that he had failed, fearing detection, he
shot her in cold blood, and then ia
vented the story of murder by the fe-
titious holdup man. Sanchez has been
tried, convicted and sentenced to pris-
on for life.

From the Brooklyn Eagle: In one of
our largest churches last evening the
pastor, one of the ablest and most elo-
quent preachers in the United States,
delivered a sermon based on the fol-
lowing text: How precious are thy
thoughts unto me, o God! How great

them, they are more in number than
the sand; when l awake, | am still
with thee. Psalm cxXXix, 17-18. The

were peculiarly solemn, having refer

of Gods omnipotence, goodness, omni-
presence, omniscience and perfect holi-
ness, attributes that are ever active
and at no time nor under any circum-
stances beyond the vision of man. And
yet if that pastor would hint at such a
ludicrous picture he might be accused
of meddling.

HAND ORGANS IN CAMP.
President Faure's Musical CONFEDERATION
to the Alpine Outposts.

Nv AiPine Outposbs'
The Alpine troops of the French
army have reason to be grateful to M.
Felix Faure, for, thanks to the hand
organs which he has sent them, they
can now beguile the winter evenings
by dancing to the strains of more or
less inspiring music, says the Buffalo
Commercial. There is a picture pub
lished by an illustrated paper in Paris
which shows, in fact, a party of noun
taineering militaires enjoying them
selves at a rough ball in a wooden hut.
where one of their number grinds out
a waltz from a hurdy-gurdy. 1t ap-
pears that the president of the repub-
lie was much struck by the loneliness
OF the Alpine o~utposts which he visit
ed this summer. Questioning a few
of the soldiers, he learned that when
they found somebody who could play
an accordion and make music for them
they were able to cheat the dull tedi-
n of the snowy season. An ac-
Gordon player was a rarity, so that
little amusement could be organized.
The president, hearing this, at once
resolved to supply ready-made music
to the defenders of the southeastern
frontier, and his presents Of hand
organs-or, as they are called, orgues
de barberie-have been very welcome
and acceptable to the troops to whom
they were sent.

He Joined the Knights of Labor not

was at an early day selected as a dele

the Henry George campaign of 1886
and since then has been, perhaps,
known more as a Labor Socialist than
as a X. of L. worker. He is at pres

The princess has read a great deal
and she knows also that in the land
across the sea, which mean to her
every country outside of the little ISL
and of New Zealand. there is a fine
court etiquette which bids all of blood
and position welcome, and therefore
she feels that she is entitled to secure
for herself the finest hsuband in the
world. Princess Mary is not averse to
the Maori race, and if she could she
would choose a husband from among
her cousins. But this is impossible
with her, because King Paul has no
near relatives, and the princess cannot
find q royal oonsort for herself. She
will not marry among the common
people, and she is forced, therefore, to
go outside of her OWL country. This
she willingly does. When she first adj
vertised in Europe she announced that
any Anglo-Saxon would be eligible for
her hand, provided he was not a con-
vict and would not be ashamed of her.
These two points were prominent in
her mind. AT present King Paul sits
on the throne, but he is IN old man
and will oon die. At his death Mary
becomes queen. and her husband il
king and ruler. She offers him not
only the title, but the whole kingdom,
with its lands and money, and she
gives into his hand the Maori law,
which is, Thus saith the king" She

Mathematics In the Shop of a Colorado
Curio Dealer.
Charlie Chan, a Chinese curio dealer
of Colorado Springs, Colo, is a mathe-
matician whose ability to solve the
most intricate of problems with almost
lightning capacity, by use of a Chinese
abacus, has just come to light. Some
eastern tourists made purchases Of
Chan the other day a~ggregating $685.
These purchases ranged from 5 cents
to $35. The Chinaman took his rack,
and before the tourists were aware he
was counting and had the correct re-
suit. This excited the purchasers to
ask questions about the mode of cal
culation, and to give Chan sums 70 do.
The party found that the merchant
from the Orient had marvellous talent
in handling figures. College professors
were told of the prodigy, and to satisfy
themselves went to his shop to put him
to a test. Problems, ponderous and in
t~ricate, were given to him, but he
proved equal to them all, and displayed
a dexterity in handling his beads and
