POpULISTS WILL NOT FUSE.
They Are Split on the Matter of Hold
ing the Philippines.

Terre Haute, Ind, July 6-Mortimer
G. Rankin, chairman OF the Popuiist
National committee, stated today that
the Populists would not form fusion
with the Democrats for the coming cam
paign. Mr.. Rankin said that the
Populists will hold their national con-
vention one month prior to that of
either the Democratic or Republican
conventions. On this account the Popu-
lists will prepare their own platform
and nominate their own candidates.
Mr.. Rankin stated that he was mot
willing to say much concerning the
partys views for the approaching
campaign, as it had been the desire of
the Central committee to leave the
other two political parties in the dark
as regards its movements and plans
he stated, however, that the party was
split up on the matter of holding the
Philippine Islands. Some of the mem
bers of the party counselled having
nothing more to do with them, while
others are in favor of keeping them
lighting the war with the Filipinos
until they are brought to terms and then
making republic there.

Forcs Eserted br one Heart.

BY accurate measurements of the
hearts force it has been calculated
that in twenty-four hours the amount
of work done by it is equal to 124 foot
tons; or, in other words, il the whole
force expended by the heart in twenty
four hours were gathered into one
huge stroke, such a power would lift
124 tons one foot from the ground.
The heart really performs this work
in sixteen out of-the twenty-four hours,
for eight hours during the day are TAX
en- up by rests. every beat being follow
ed by pause, during which the heart
stops. Another calculation shows
that the distance travelled by the blood
thrown out Of the heart is seven miles
an hour, 1853 miles day. or 4,292, 900
miles in lifetime of seventy years.

patriotic, and makes no attempt to
conceal his hatred of all foreigners.
He hates Dreyfus, too, and on Sunday,
Sept. 25, 1898, at a meeting to protest
against the revision of the Dreyfus
case, he presided and delivered furi-
GUS TRADE against Prime Minister
Brisson and all who had shown a de-
sire for revision. He declared that If
a revolution occurred and the scaffold
was erected in Paris, the first head that
ought to fall was that of Clemenceau,
and that if Dreyfus ever returned to
France he and his partisans would be
lynched. This meeting was in further

kindred spirits through the streets of
the barracks, and was summarily ar
rested, not ON the charge of treason,
or attempted coup d'etat, of which he
would have been proud, but on the
more common accusation of trespass.
This almost disguised him with the
profession of patriot. He is, however,
still intensely bitter in his enmity to
Dreyfus, and the formation of the
League of Patriots is largely his own
work. Besides, he is an inspiring
spirit of the anti-Semitic leagues that
have lately been formed in Paris.
Since the affair of the barracks-Feb.

claimed his purpose to overthrow the
republic. His present was decided
upon as a means of checking what
otherwise might in time become a dan
gerous organization. De Roulede may
know more than he is willing to tell
of the attempted assassination of La
bori, one of the counselors of Dreyfus,
from ambush recently at Rennes.

Sensational Result of . Fancy Dress
Costume st a Ministsrisi Gathering.
From the Philadelphia Post: Judge
4. B. Martindals OF Indianapolis. Ind.r
owns one of the handsomest residences
In that city large stone mansion
hidden from the street by a thick grove
Of trees. 1t was In this house thas
one of the most exciting functions ever
known In the hoosier capital took
place many years ago, the true story
of which is now printed for the first
time. The Judge, who was one of the
leaders of society and at the same time
was pillar in the Presbyterian church,
Lad issued invitations for a fancy dress
ball, which at the last moment he had
to withdraw because of the presence
in this country of a large body OF
Presbyterian delegates from Great
Britain on their way to an interna-
| tional conference in the west. They
were to be entertained at the judges
on the night set for the ball. 1t so
happened that every guest received his
notice save one, merchant named
Woodward, who was on a trip through
the northwest. 1t also happened that
Mr.. Woodward had hit upon the most
startling disguise Of any planned. He
had bought complete costume OF a
Sioux war chief and intended making
up as nearly like the original as pos
! sible. Mr.. Woodward did not return
| to Indianapolis until the evening fixed
for the ball, and. therefore, to save
time put on his costume at his Office
and drove to the Martindale residence
in his carriage, which he dismissed Az
the gate. Through the trees and shrub
berry he glided stealthily until he
reached the house. Looking through
| the window Mr.. Woodward saw some
persons whom he knew and many Of
whom he did not, but every one was
| in ordinary evening dress They've
unmasked," soliloquized the war chief.
| but I'll have my fun just the same"
Thereupon, stepping upon ledge, he
made one spring through the open
window and landed in the center of q
group of Scotch delegates, meantime
brandishing a genuine tomahawk and
uttering shrill and bloodcurdling war
whoops. The effect was astounding to
the masquerader. Some Of the guests
tainted, others crept under the tables
and sofas or fled to the upper stories
OF the house. 1t took only an instant
for Mr.. Woodward to discover that q
terrible mistake had been made. In
order to preserve his identity and make
his escape he gave few more whoops,
executed a fearful dance and darted
out OF the window into the darkness.
II was explained to the foreign guests
that one Of the Indianapolis Indian
tribes was evidently restless, but that
no further trouble need be feared As
for Mr.. Woodward, his side of the
story was not known for nearly twenty
years afterward.

THAT MAN JIMINEz.

Dispatches from San Domingo have
Isidro Jiminez in connection with the
succession to the presidential chair of
that little island republic. At one.
time Jiminez was perhaps the richest
man of Spanish blood In the western
hemisphere. He owned extensive
plantations in San Domingo and in
other islands of the West Indies, and
on account of his great wealth he pos
sessed wide influence in political af-
fairs Some time after Heureaux be-
came president of San Domingo he

was room on the island for only ons
big man at time. Jiminez was not
convinced that this was really the case
until some of the buildings on his
plantation had been burned. Then he
decided that Heureaux was right, and
he sold out to a German syndicate and
retired from the island to wait an OPP
portunity for revenge. He thought
this chance had come when the war
with Spain broke out Under the pre-
text that he was going to organize an
expedition to fight for Cuba libre, he
was allowed by the United States gov
eminent to pack a little steamship,
the Fanita, with some San Domingo
refugees and set sail from Mobile. But
instead OF going to Cuba ne went to

From the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat: "All sorts OF freak devices

ment since the beginning of the war;"

duty at Washington, but the queer
est of the lot was undoubtedly the
mechanical hooter.' You never heard

had been within half a mile of the
war Office about a month ago. The
hooter is the invention of an Iowa
gentleman and consists of a wooden
tube about the size of 4-inch section
of bologna sausage. Stretched across
the aperture is piece of perforated
rawhide, and when blown into 1t
emits strange and blood-chilling
howl-something absolutely indescrib-
able in words-a sort of cross be-
tween the shrek OF buzz saw when
it strikes a nail and the lower register
OF an adult steam calliope. 1t is the
sort Of noise I imagine a hippopot-
anus might make during an attack
OF membranous Group. But the
scheme of the inventor was really not
30 bad. He pointed out in his letter
that the yell played very prominent
part in all military operations. The
demoralizing effect of the rebel yell
was freely admitted by all Northern
generals during the civil war and his
tory has repeated itself in the recent
campaigns. 1t was the yell of the
Rough Riders as they went up San
Juan hill that scared the Spaniards out
Of their trenches and the Kansas yell
has spread more terror among the Fill
ipinos than all the Calling guns put
together. From these facts he argued
very logically that a mechanical boot
er, augmenting, magnifying and sup
plementing the natural voice would
greatly increase the efficiency of our
troops. A company on a charge, sud
denly hooting in chorus, would strike
dismay into the hearts of the bravest
foe. An American soldier humping
and hooting over a rice field would
cause any Filipino alive to immediate
ly lose interest in the sacred cause of
freedom and scoot for the far end Of
the archipelago. At least such was the
claim Of the inventor and after hearing
the machine tried I am inclined to
agree with him. A clerk was in
structed to return the sample and say
that in the opinion of the department
1t would be a cruel and inhuman
weapon and violation of the rules

conference of The Hague. You may

His name is Joutel, and he is an ardent

of considerable interest. Soon after he

bees hard at work on the few flowers
in sight. He made a trip to Morning

ers there. He was sure they were from
his hive, as they were of a peculiar
variety and easily recognized. Mr..
Joutel believes that they also made
trips to Central park, as well as pat
ronizing all the fire-escape conserva-
tories in the neighborhood. At any
rate they collected large amount of
honey, and some of the combs have

that was by the sparrows. Going into
his cherry orchard one day, he found

all killed or driven out Of the orchard.
The result was that the next summer
his cherry trees were covered with
