The Prime Factor
in Human Supremacy
BY ii. VI. BRYAN.
BY ii. VI. BRYAN.

TO what inherent force or principle
of growth can we attribute that s.l-
prcmacy to which man has attained?
His domination is not duc to superior
strength, for the large carnivora and
pachyderms surpass him in the arena
Of physical force; neither can it be at
triButed to the acuteness of any special
sense. The condor, sweeping with
wide. free wing above the snowy
peaks. scans the field of earth and air
with Il more piercing ken. The timid
creature of the wild appreciates the
sweep Of the nearing wing, the rustic
Of the coming foot, with more finely
tempered ear. TO them, poor depend
ems of nature, the mother has been
most kind, since the sense of presence,
rudimentary in man, in them is inten-
silied to Il degree that seems to obviate
the necessity Of other safeguards. In
the timid ruminants the gift Of sense
exists with keenness incomprehensi-
ble to man, to whose preservation it is
not 50 necessary.

FAMILY VENGENCE.

In the year l714 or l775 some per-
sons arrived late one evening at Stras-
burg from the German side of the
Rhine, and proceeded to the house of
the bourreau, or public executioner.
They called upon him to accompany
them instantly out of the town, as his
services were required for the decapi-
tation of criminal of rank. They in
structed him to bring with him the
heavy two-edged sword with which he
was accustomed, in the regular dis
charge of his functions, to behead male
factors, and added that as he would
have to make rather long journey, he
should receive handsome fee for his
services. The headsman at once
agreed to accompany the strangers,
who showed him into 4 carriage, which
drove him across the river to Kehl,
Arrived there, his companions told him
This was done, and after journey of
nearly two days the party arrived at n
moated castle, of which the drawbridge,
as the executioneer could hear, had to
be lowered to admit them. The heads
man was led into a small apartment,
where the ban(lage was removed from
his eyes; and after waiting here for
some .ime, he was conducted into the
great hail of the castle, where stood
scaflold hung with black cloth, and in
the middle of it chair or stool. \
female was shortly afterwards lel in
hy two persons; she was dressed in
deep mourning. and her lace wholly
concealIed by thick veil. She was
seated in the chair, and her attendants
proceeded to tie her hands behind her,
and afterwards to bind her legs to the
chair. Not word was spoken by the
people who bound her, and she herself
neither made complaint nor offered re-
sistance. When all the preparations
were completed, the headsman, stand
ing behind the victim, at q signal drew
the great sword he carried. One of the
attendants graspcd the victims hair,
and forcibly raised her head by 1t, and
then, at a single stroke, the head was
severed from the body. The eXecu-
toner was literally rewarded, blind
folded again, and conducted back to
kehl. Arrived there, he was set down
at the end of the bridge leading to
Strasburg.
Wraxall adds that he often, during
his residence in Germany, heard dis
cussions as to the identity of the lady
who thus suffered; and the general be-
lief was that she was Augusta Eliza
beth. daughter of Prince Charles Alex
ander of Wurtemburg, and wife of the
Prince of Turn and Taxis. She was
woman of very violent passions; she
detested her husband, and it was known
that she had repeatedly attempted his
life. About the year 1913 or l174
they were finally separated, and she
was taken into the custody of her
brother, the then reigning Duke of
Wurtemburg, who immured her in one
of his castles. She was never seen
again in public, and there is at least
the possibility that it was her head
which fell under the sword OF the bonr-
reau of Strasburg.

EXPOSURE 10 DISEASE

Does not necessarily mean the contrac-
ton of disease provided the system is
in a vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs ill healthy ac-
ton. When in such a condition con-
tacion is readily resisted and the dis
ease germs can find no lodgment.
Hoods Sarsapalilla is the best medi-
cine to build up the system because it
makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood
is the basis of good health. In cold
weather it is especially necessary to
keep up the health tone because the
body is subject to greater exposure
and more liable to disease. Hoods
Sarsaparlla is the safeguard of health.

Although ex-Mayor Ingraham finds
himself the Democratic candidate for

element is still wondering how this came
to pass, Mr.. Ingraham's selection as the
Democratic standard bearer was oil
mistake. 1t was brought about through
the absence of some of the delegates to the
mayoralty convention, who thought that
Col. McQuillan's nomination was SO GER
tain that their presence at the convention
would not be required. Yesterday after
noon it was generally conceded even by
MIR. Ingraham's strongest friends that
his nomination was out of the question.
Many believed that at the convention Mr..
Ingraham would see that letter was
read from him gracefully withdrawing in

hoped that this would be done. But Mr..

SIX YEARS.

We are pleased to call attention to the
Equitable Life's annual statements for
1897 in this issue. We note that the
average rate OF interest earned ON the
assets of the society in 1897 was AGO per
cent.
On calculation that the society will
receive only 4 per cent as Its future
average rate of interest, the surplus after
deducting all liabilities.is S50,543, IA 81.
On calculation that the society will
receive only per cent as its future aver
age rate of interest, the surplus, after
deducting all liabilities is 500, Ola, 800. 90.
The surplus of the society Is greater
than the surplus of any other life assur-
ance company in the United States or
Europe on similar computations.
The present Maine management of the
Equitable began in 1899 and during this
period of six years the Equitable has in
creased its{insurance in force and premi-
UNI income, in Maine, more than any
other life insurance company doing
business in the Pine Tree State. In 9TH
erswords, the premiums collected by the
company in the state in 1891 amounted to
s55, 2s3. In 1897 the premium collections
amounted to S200,170.1 In 1891 the
insurance in force in the state amounted
to 81, 059, ia. In 1897 it footed up to the
magnificent total of 5000, 574 These
figures will please the most disoriminat-
ing policy holder.

Besides, so says the Mayor, ''the bonded
interest account has been drawn on from
time to time for current expenses which
must be replaced etc. The present i'd
ADMINISTRATION has also had the benefit of
a large extra gas dividend. The present
Mayor, represents the public debt as
exceeding the legal limit by $700,00),
the city's gross debt last spring being
81, 769,050
With this enormous debt and the ex-
penditures ever increasing, verging on
a million and o half yearly, we may well
pause in establishment, ask where we
are, and anxiously inquire what the
present administration has done to keep
down expenses and reduce the debt and
taxation.
That their administrations have in
creased the public burdens to an alarming
extent their own reports furnish figures
impossible to be denied or white-washed
over. Nor have the ex-parte investigations
carried on at the expense of the treasury,
presume, been productive of such as to
raise the administration in public esteem
for sobriety and decorum. Admissions
even of leaders in their councils. show
illegal acts and contempt for existing
laws and public morals.
Consequently, l appeal, to all citizens
who desire an economical administration
and a reduction of taxation to consider
the list of worthy candidates presented by
the Democratic party in the different
wards, and to give that ticket feir sap
port. They will not disappoint you.
They will work INCREASINGLY for the re-
lieving the public burdens and for the
prosperity growth and expansion of our
city in all it's branches of labor, trade
and commerce.
