About h Democratic Platform.

Bryan held three meetings here yes
terday, two at the fair grounds and
n at the court house square in the
evening. Fully 1900 visitors were in
town and 1900 people heard him on
the fair grounds at each of the two
meetings. In his speeches Mr.. Bryan
insisted upon nothing being subtract
Ell from the Democratic platform Of
1896, but that to it should be added
denunciation of the Philippine policy
Of the administration, which gave
arms to the insurgents to help them
free themselves from the yoke Of
Spain. and then after buying them at
$3.50 each, vas shooting them down
for daring to assert their independence
against the republic Of the United
States, the land of the free. He said
any failure to strongly indorse the
Chicago platform would be a back
ward step that would be very harm
full to the Democratic party.

Temple, d. D., has rendered a decision
in the ritual cases. which he and the
archbishop of. York, the Most Rev.

heard in May. The archbishops de-
clare that" while far from. saying the
use of incense and carrying. Of lights

sirable Accomplishments of divine wor-
ship, they are obliged, in accordance
with the prayerbook, to come, to the
conclusion that these, adjuncts are
neither enjoined nor permitted by the
laws of the Church of England. There
fore, the archbishops add though
they may be used to sweeten. n church
or for purely lighting PURPOSES; they
urge all the clergy, for the sake of the
peace of the church. to discontinue
their use as part Of the services.

generation Of the heart. DR.. O'Malley

II of the most sensational in the
history of the state. Luetgert was

wife in the basement of his factory
and cooked the body:to pieces in a vat.
The prosecution. had. but "A few small
bones and two rings-as evidence that

 Early in April of last year the cap tain Of the steamer Roseada, plying os the Kissimmee river, reported the dis coyery of Q white owls nest, which was n hole Of leaning dead cab bage palm, oveFHanging the river, says Forest and Stream Twice a week on his trip ID ana down De watched the growth Of the birds, until he eonsid- cred them old enough to move He then transferred them from the nest so q box. under serious protest from the parent birds. The birds proved to be speciments Of the barn owl. and great vas the surprise to see the three owls of three different sizes and evidently considerable differences in their ages. From inquiry il is learned that these birds. after hatehing the first egg, lay another, whose Aatehing Is left to be done by the young bird while 1t feath- CTS, thus explaining why the birds in the different stages Of development were found in the same nest and ez- blaming, foo, the responsibility that the oldest bird seemed to have o9er khe younger ones much as the older child watehes oyer the younger ones Of Q family The oldest owl was al most matured-in full feather-its large black eyes. almost human in ex- pression, being well set of by the snow-white face. The plumage On the back was 8 golden brown, the rest of the body streaked with white. The second bird in size was sn ashy, dull white: he was covered with down the down on his face giving him vicious pression-entirely different from the oldest bird. The baby Of the nest was scarcely ba1f the size Of the oldest bird. had 2 sharp. narrow and long face, with . weazened, monkeylike expression, but he was snow-white. looking like bail o+ WOOL He 2ud- died under the larger birds and at feeding time was the most Tavenous eater of the crowd. All day long these three little owls quietly sat, making no sound except when ap- preached, when sharp snapping of their peaks announced that they wished no intruders. To turn them out of their box in daytime Haeant a quick return to it. Tbey were turned out one day for 9 visitor to admire, and the box removed, when they quietly sought refuge under the folds of her dress skirt. At night they were in their element when turned loose; they walked around. Tapped their wings, would come up and take food from the Land and drink water from a spoon placed between their beaks with as much ease as person possibly could After eating 10 their satisfac. tion, they would return to the box and there sit for an hour, peering out. swaying their bodies backward and forward, as # rocking themselves to sleep. The pleasure and the study de lived from observing these young owls scarcely compensated for the sorrow caused around the old palm tree. For several trips. as the Roseada passed up and down the river, the old owls fol lowed the boat, darting at it and cry Ing for the loss of their young, their mournful tones coming to the crew on the still nights like some ba1lnting spirit

The coronet of a duke consists of alternate crosses and leaves, the leaves being a representation of the leaves Of

 oval blood also wear a similar crown. The state headgear of a marquis con sists of a diadem surrounded by flow CTS and pearls placed alternately. An 9arl, however, has neither flowers nor leaves surmounting his circlet, but only points rising each with pearl on the top. A viscount has neither flow ITS nor points, but only the plain cir let adorned with pearls. which, re- gardless of number. are placed on the crown itself. A baron has only six pearls on the golden border, not raised, to distinguish him from an earl, and the number of pearls render his dia- dem distinct from that of viseount,
