The Democratic County Convention,
which assembled at st. Clairsville, yes
terday, was large, representative and
very enthusiastic body of the Democ-
racy of the county. Its work was well
performed, and the ticket selected will
give universal satisfaction. OF the
delegates to the State Convention, there
appears to be but two out-and-out Nc
Lean men. The preferences of the
bulk of the delegates is for an unpledg
ed delegation, but that the majority are
anti-McLean appears to be certain.
The Convention was called to order
at IL o'clock by d. S. Dreamer, chair
man of the County Central Committee.
A. NJ Brown, of Flushing, was named
for temporary chairman, and j. B.
Ryan. of Richland, temporary secre-
tary, with J. T. Dysart, of Smith town
ship, as assistant. On taking the
chair Mr.. Brown made an eloquent adj
dress of twenty minutes duration,
eliciting frequent applause and other
expressions of approval.
A call of the roll Of the precincts
showed that nearly all were fully rep
resented, with a contest in the Third
ward of Martins Ferry.
Mr. w. S. Barton moved that the
chair appoint the usual committees,
and it prevailed. The bodies were ac-
cordingly composed as follows:

has taken such d strong fancy. the

protracted blessing in monotunous
sing-song. In addition to a silver goad
resembling Neptune's trident, the ma
hout carries tiy-tlapper, while behind
is an umbrella of white silk, bordered
with pearls, both emblems of Oriental
sovereignty. The curiously carved
howdah is of the finest silver. The

The elephant is the finest of his high

merous fine animals which are main
tanned at Durbhunga.
The elephants belonging to the rajah
are under the control of an old man
upwards of so years of age. Each ele-
plant rejoces in an appellation taken
from the names of NEUROLOGICAL or his
toric heroes; and it is their veteran
keepers boast that every elephant is
known to him by name.
The title dates back only to 1908, when
the then maharajah, Clutter Singh,
was formally recognized and invested
by the British government. But the
origin of the family can be traced as
far back as the reign of the emperor
Akbar, whose lieutenants they were in
the province of Behar.
The present maharajah, Rameshwar
Singh, is now in his 42d year.
Few Orientals have more successful
ly combined the apparently incompat-
ible characteristics of East and West,
and the maharajah stands out to-day
as one of the most statesmanlike of
Hindu rulers in our Indian empire.
Short as his reign has been so far, he
has earned the commentator of all
who have come into contact with him.
A prince of British India, his position
is assured alike by the extent of his
great influence and by the Western
character of his ideas.

In the court of Berlin, as well as at
most of the courts of the minor rulers
in Germany, the waltz is prohibited.
The polka and a slow sort of galop
are the only round dances tolerated,
the waltz having been forbidden ever
since one of the young royal princesses
was tripped up by her partner and fell
at the very feet of the late Empress
Augusta while in the act of Waiting.
The empress, who was a terrible des-
pot on the score Of etiquette, could not
bear the idea of a dance which could
have the effect of placing a princess of
the blood in such an undignified posi-
ton, and therefore at once vetoed the
waltz from appearing on the pro-
grammes of court balls. The ban
against the waltz has only recently
been removed. so far as the court Of
Wurtemberg is concerned. This is due
to the influence of the young queen,
woman of great beauty, who is pas
sonately fond of dancing.

Bombay, June 1.-THE pretty, grlish
creature whose beauty once captivated
the manageable men of Chicago So
ciety circles, but who married an Eng
lsh lord and is now vicereine of India,
has just added to her list of unsought
admirers the maharajah of Durbhunga,
one of the premier noblemen of Hindoo-
stan and a trusted adviser of Lord Cur
2on. This Hindoo prince has respect
fully placed at the disposal of Lady
Curzon the splendid herd of elephants
that are among his vast possessions,
thus making Lady Curzon the posses
sor pro tenn. of more of these lordly
creatures than any other woman in the

great liking for the elephants and fire.

degree is feat that not every white
man or woman, even among the upper
ten of India, can boast of having ac-
complished. To be given the freedom
of the magnificent palace of his high
ness the maharajah of Durbhunga is a
compliment even to a viceroy and vice
refine. The maharajah and his beautiful
palace are worthy of description in de-
TAIL in view of the friendliness felt by
the former toward the viceroy and his
lovely American wife.
Thoroughly imbued with western
principles of government, a fluent Eng
lish scholar and an able orator, Maha
rajah Rameshwar Singh stands out
among the Indian princes as ruler of
quite exceptional sagacity and tact.
The vast estates over which he has
control have long been regarded as a
model of good government. They ex-
tend over an area of 2,152 square miles,
with yearly rental of 30 lakhs of ru
