One of Mile. Calves superstitions.
Mew York SUM-


Emma Calve is a profound believer in
palmistry, and that faith has probably
had much to do with her decision not to
return to this country for the present sea-
son of opera at the Metropolitan. One of
her intimate friends in Paris is a. palmiSt.
and so great is Mile. Calvep belief in her
powers that she practically controls the
singers affairs. Two years ago Nile. CaIve
was under contract to sing at Covent
garden. Her friend told her that the lines
in her hand prognosuctaed Enthusiastically
her death if she went TO London that
year. So Mile. Calye notified the manage
ment of the theatre that she could not
under any circumstances go that year to
England. A short time afterward Mile.
CalVe bought a. house in q certain street
in Paris, after making a long search for
a quarter that was entirely satisfactory
to her. But the palmist warned her that
her hands said She would never live in
that house. The prophecy of her palms
was death within a short time. Mile.
Calve Immediately decided that she would
never enter the house, and soon after it
was sold.

SHE WAS NOMINATED AS A JOKE
Despite That Mrs. Abbott Will Hold
Office as Presenting Attorney.
(New Work. Herald.l

CNeW York Hera1d.l
The seething of Michigan's political pot
has not altogether subsidized in conse-
quence of the recent election. 1t still bub-
bles and Kisses and all because of a
woman. The woman in the case is Mrs.
Merrie L. Abbott, whose election as prose-
cutting attorney of OgemaW county by
the silver Democrats has brought her
fame and no end of trouble. The fame
lies in the fact that she is the first woman
ever elected prosecutor in Michigan, or
in the world, for that matter. The trouble
is that the Republicans allege that her
election was brought about by fraudulent
means. ttN
The county went Republican, the entire
ticket being elected with the exception of
Mrs. Abbott and the county clerk. Mrs.
Abbott was nominated by the silver Dem
cratic county convention as a joke. Now
the joke is on the jokers. She made a
canvass of the county such as had never
before been known. Bright as a steel
trap, a ready speaker witty and attrac-
tive in appearance, she won votes by
sheer strength of her personality. She
says she will serve her term, but others
think differently.
Attorney General Maynard says she
will have to get an endorsement from the
supreme court first, and Dean HutchinS
of the law department of the University
of Michigan says she is clearly ineligible
under the constitution.
1t is more than likely that she will have
to fight her battle in the supreme court
before beginning to prosecute the law
breakers. She is a, graduate OF the law
department of the University of Michi-
gan. She is a clever. clear-headed law
yer, and is more than match for most of
her contemporary members of the bar.
She is eloquent, and it is a very ungallant
jury that can stand out against her argu-
mentS. The prOsecutor-elect carried on
her own campaign under the direction of
the Ogemaw county committee. She went
on the stump and drew immense crowds.
Her speeches were witty and bright, and
she made votes wherever she went.
But it is said the Republicans will chal-
lenge the regularity of the vote in West
Branch, so Mrs. Abbott will have more
than the ineligibility question to answer
before she can come into her own. Mrs.
Abbott polled very big vote in West
Branch, and was supposed to be a sure
winner until several townships gave big
majorities for Harris, her opponent. Fin
ally when there were but two more town.
ships to hear from the two candidates
were tie. One of these townships gave
Mrs Abbott thirteen majority and the
other gave Harris thirteen majority leav-
ing the contest a tie with all the returns
in.
Then. it is alleged, the West Branch in
spectors broke the seal of the ballot box
in which the tickets had been placed after
being counted and made a recount. This.
strangely enough gave Mrs. Abbott a
majority of six greater than was shown
on the first count, and that, too, fin spite
of the fact that the total vote was less
on the second than on the first. These
six votes represent her majority in the
county.

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
Some Think It Changed the Course
of Politics In This Country.

lAllanta COnStltuuOn.)
1t is said that single glass Of wine
probably wrecked the Democratic party
in 1860. The story is worth telling.
After the breaking UP of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held state con-
vention. Great excitement prevailed.
The leaders of the party could not
agree. 1t was a. critical period.
The majority report endorsed the
seceders or boilers at Charleston, while
the minority report opposed their ac-
ton. The leading champion of the
minority was Herschel " Johnson,
and his followers were confident that
his eloquence and logic would carry
the day.
1t is quite likely that such would
have been the case but for an I'M
fortunate mishap. Ex-Governor John
son began his speech before the noon
adjournment on the second day, and
concluded after dinner.
Old men who remember that speech
say that it was powerful argument,
after the noon recess the speaker
would denolish his opponents with a
few sledge- hammer blows.
But the over confident friends OF the
minority report were doomed to dis
appointment. Johnson felt the strain
of the morning session so much that he
was unable to eat anything, and he
took a glass of wine upon an empty
stomach to strengthen himself. This
was a fatal mistake. That one glass
of wine perhaps changed the destiny
of the nation!
The great orator resumed his speech,
but the wine had nauseated him. He
was hay, verbose, and unintelligible
at times. His style and argument
lacked vigor, consistency, and posi-
tiveness. His friends looked at one
another in despair. The men on the
other side were exultant. 1t was evil
dent that the speaker had damaged his
own cause.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry. R.
Jackson followed each other for the
majority report. They spoke with an
air of expectant triumph and cap
tured the convention.
The majority report was adopted. It
is unnecessary to follow the history
of the next few weeka The national
Democracy was completely disrupted
and put two tickets in the field. Lin
coin was elected and the country was
plunged into a civil war. Had john
son succeeded in inducing the Georgia
convention to adopt his conservative
ideas, it is safe to say that other
southern states would have fallen into
line with. our commonwealth, and the
national Democratic party would have
reamined united.
This is the story Of what little glass
Of wine did. 1t ruined a great party.
caused disastrous war. and besides the
loss of life, cost the South over $4,000
100000. Perhaps this is rather specu-
lative, but there are many who be-
lieyed 1t q generation ago.

COLONEL HEcKER TESTIFIES.
Denied That He Purchased Ships
Through Abner Mckinley.

Denied That He Purchased Ships
Through Abner Mckinley.
Washington, Dec. 9.-The transporta-
ton to Spain by the United States of
the Spanish prisoners surrendered at
Santiago was taken up by the war in
vestigating committee today, and Col
onel Hecker, who made the contract
for the United States, was recalled to
testify on this point. He said there
had been a combine of New York ship
ping concerns which would have caused
an outlay of 81, 400, 900, while the actual
outlay made was $5l3, 900. The lowest
bid was from a Philadelphia junk
dealer, who, however, had no visible
means of executing the contract, and
admitted his own doubt as to getting
sufficient bond.
Colonel Recker read a long statement
signed by William e. Ryan, detailing
the attempted sale of certain ships to
the government. Colonel Hecksr said
he did not know Ryan Several mem
bers Of the commission said they would
be glad to summon Ryan if he could
be found. Asked if he was ever ap-
preached by Abner Mckinley relative
to the purchase of Ships Colonel Heck
er replied:
Never but once. He spoke to me
about a water barge, for which there
was no use at the time, and I so in
formed him. 1 never had any other
communication from him, either direct
~ or Indirectly"
Asked as to Ryan's charges that
there was a subordinat in Colonel
Hecker's office who exercised much in
f1uence, and could be approached, Col
onel Hecker replied that negotiations
were conducted directly, and that no
subordinate in the Office could have ex-
ercised any influence
