In MEMORY OF ELIZABETH.
A Monster Meeting Held in the
Grand Central Palace, New York.


New York Sept 1S-A memorial meet
ing for the late Empress of Austria and
Queen of Hungary, Elizabeth. was held
this afternoon in the Grand Central Pal
ace. 1t was under the management Of
the Hungarian Literary Society. and
there was great outpouring of Hunsa-
rians. Fully $500 people crowded into the
hall, which was draped from the gal
leries to the dome in mourning Behind
the stage was a large Oil pointing of the
late empress. on one side of it the flag of
Hungary and on the other the Stars and
Stripes.
After dirge by Hungarian band and
several selections by the Hungarian Sing
ing Circle, the chairman of the meeting,
Morris Cukor, delivered an address, in
which he said:
1.-The Hungarian nation has lost not
only its adored queen, but its true friend
and protector"

NEW JERSEY POLITICS.
Gov. Voorhees, denomination Is an
Assured Thing.

Trenton, n. j., Sept. 1S.-The Repu5-
lican State convention will have nothing
to do on Thursday but formally renom-
mate John NJ Voorhees, for governor,
adopt a platform that it will be easy 10
prepare and select new members of the
State executive committee. Speech-Inak-
ing will probably consume the greater
part of the day, as IL is evident that the
actual business will take but little time
Since the retirement of the other can
didates leaving the field TO Gov. Voor-
hees political interest has been trans
ferred to the Democrats whose conven-
ton will be held on Wednesday of next
week There are no less than seven
avowed candidates for the Democratic
nomination and the leaders have no idea
who will be selected.
A conference of half dozen or so prom
inent Democrats will be held in this city
on the evening preceding the convention
and there are indications that the chosen
one may be a Democrat whose name has
not heretofore been mentioned in connec-
ton with the nomination.
The seven. candidates are. Senator VIII
T. Atkinson. of Burlington, both OF whom
are outspoken silver men; ex-Judge How
ard Carrow, of Camden, the choice of the
gold men, of South Jersey; Gen. Richard
A. DonnelIy, former Supreme Court Clerk
Benjamin F. Lee of Mercer, Mayor Jas.
NJ Seymour and Prosecutor Elvin W.
Crane of Essex
Supreme Court Justices Lippincott and
Garrison and Garret D. w. Vroom, of
Trenton, have peremptorily refused 10
permit the use of their names. Just now
Gen. Donnelly appears to be the favorite
with objection to him because ne IS not
rich. Mr.. Cranes candidacy is under
stood TO be intended to keep il away from
Mayor Seymour. Carrow is regarded as
weak because he is a South Jersey mGn,
and neither Daily nor Atkinson is seri-
ously considered outside a few small
agricultural counties. Lee is half afraid
to accept for fear that the party will not
be harmonious, but he wants to be gov
ernor and accept. Some of the Democrats
object to Donnelly because two years
ago he attempted to resign from the
State committee because he could not
stand the Chicago platform money plank.
No action was taken on his resignation
and Donnelly was induced to act as
treasurer of the committee during the
campaign
Leading gold Democrats express the
opinion that the convention will strongly
indorse the Chicago platform. They viii
permit this to be done in order to restore
harmony in the party if possible, and
then will make the fight on State issues,
so far as the Republicans will permit
them to do SO.

was succeeded by Gen. Woodford he re-
turned to America and began delivering
lectures indicating intense hostility to-

Mr.. Taylor was very freely criticised for
this, the claim having been made that

fore he was made minister TO Spain he
was a Mugwump in politics. He has

HIS CLAIM IS DOUBTED.
Secretary Long Delays Recognition
of Col. HAIRLESS Nominations.


Secretary Long has determined not TO
make any appointments either in accord
ance with or contrary to the nominations
of Col Harries until ne is legally advised
that the colonel has a right TO assume
the command of the District militia as
brigadier general.
1t is conceded by the naval officials that
Col. Harries has a perfect right TO nom-
mate the naval militia officers if his title
of brigadier general is valid. but there is
a doubt about the legality of his dual ca
pacity. At the War Department it
is said that the claims of Col.
Harries to the office of brigadier
general is not recognized by Judge Ad-
vocate General Lieber. who holds that
officers in the militia vacated their COM
missions when they entered the United
States volunteer service.

The nomination of John f. Follett by
the Democrats in the Second district of
Chic, embracing part of the city of Gin
cinnati, a candidate for Congress- to
run against the present member Mr.
Bromwell. is regarded as an excellent
nomination. Mr.. Follett was elected a
member of the rty-eighth Congress in
1882. He was one of the ablest men that
Cincinnati had sent to Congress for a
number of years. His colleague from the
other Cincinnati district was Isaac NJ
Jordan, who died about six years ago
Mr.. Follett defeated the late Benjamin
Butterworth in that year Mr. Follett is
fine lawyer, having perhaps the largest
practice of any member of the Cincinnati
bar. After his defeat for Congress in
1884 he retired from politics and has since
devoted his time to his profession.
In the last campaign Mr.. Follett was
not very enthusiastic supporter of the
Chicago platform. and it has been inti-
mated here by those who have some fa
miliarity with the Cincinnati convention
that nominated him that he was respon-
sible for the tabling of the resolution
naming Mr.. Bryan as the Presidential
candidate two years hence.

Tho Ethno1ory of Kissing.

The kiss was unknown, I think
among the aboriginal tribes of America
and of Central Africa. From the most
ancient times, however, it has been
familiar to the Asiatic and European
race. The Latins divided it into three
forms-the osculum, the basium and
the suavium; the first being the kiss
of friendship and respect, the second
of ceremony and the third of love. The
Semites always knew the kiss, aud job
speaks of it as part 81 the sacred rites,
as it is to-day in the Roman Church.
The Monaghan kiss, however, is not
the same as that which prevails with
us. In it the lips do not touch the
surface ssof the person kissed. The
nose is brought into light contact with
the cheek, forehead or hand; the
breath is drawn slowly through the
nostrils, and the act ends with slight
smack of the lips. The Chinese con-
slider our mode of kissing full of coarse
suggestiveness, and our writers re-
gard thei-: method with equal dis
dain.
Darwin and other naturalists have
attempted to trace back the kiss to
the act OF the lower animals who seize
their prey with their teeth, etc.-Dl

One Of the Girl pupils who entered

One of the girl pupils who entered

quite a remarkable record. Having
no previous education and leaving her
really savage home for the first time,
she has demonstrated what education
is doing and will do for the red mnn.
There is system in nearly all the
Government Indian schools by which
those pupils who are both Industrious
and frugal may earn money in the
sewing room, IN the farm or IN some
one of the schools other industrial de-
partments. OF course this must be
outside of their regular work. This
young girl, after taking regular
course as scholar, was Judged capa-
BILE of receiving q salaried position. In
the course of short time she filled
not one, but several, and worked in
the sewing room besides. Ont Of her
savings she bought wagon, harness,
team, organ, bedroom set and sew
ing machine, all in view OF her pros
pective marriage to young Indian to
whom she was engaged, and when
they were married she took enough
savings with her TO build home!
All this was accomplished i'll three

An Island of Volcanic Make.

The British North Borneo Herald
describes the new island which was
recently thrown up by volcanic action
on the coast between Mempekoi and
Lumbidan. The island, which is
about forty-fye feet high $50. yards
long and 100 yards broad, has a very
peculiar appearance. It is chiefly an
upheaval OF the sea bottom, bnt at the
highest point presents entirety differ
ent features. Here the surface of the
sea bottom has been broken through
from below and mud crater formed
which had evidently been forcibly
squeezed up through circular hole
in the bedrock further down.
The mud crater presents the form
of cone with the top and side in
places fallen in; the portions remain
ing intact show plainly, by the smooth
striated sides, the effects of squeezing
the rock. The cone at its visible base
is perhaps twenty yards in diameter,
and is surrounded at about thirty
yards distance by circular terrace
few feet high, which suggests that q
little pressure from below would have
resulted in far larger cone being
thrown up. There is lot of bubbling
going on in various cracks and holes,
which flares up when match is ap-
piled and continues to burn.

A Cherokee Romance.

The marriage of Richard Malone
and Miss Mary Hildreth 'at Caldwell,
Kan, is the elimination of a romantic
experience.
When the Cherokee strip was opened
for settlement on September 1S, 1893,
Malone and Miss Hildreth, at the re-
port of the signal along the southern
Kansas border, on their well-trained
horses, made the famous race over the
plains together for home in the In
dian lands.
The claims they desired lay Eve miles
south of Caldwell. They were main
tanning good leadin the mad rush,
when suddenly the girths Of Miss Hill
dreth's saddle broke. Her escort saw
her dilemma, reined in his horse and
assisted her. She could go no further.
SO they staked two claims side by side.
They then erected house on Miss
Hildreth's claim just across the line.
Malone erected a barn, in which he
lived during his enforced residence on
his claim. Miss Hildreth occupied
the house. Last week they both
proved up their claims, and yesterday
they were married.-Topeka Journal.
