NOT A REAL DEMOCRAT.

No doubt Mayor Carter Harrison of Chi
cago was very much surprised on Friday
last to see It announced in a bulletin, au
thorzed by the Democratic National Com
mittee. that he is not real Democrat,
and advising Democrats of Chicago not
to vote for him for Mayor at the election
which takes place 70 day. The bulletin
stated that the Democratic candidate for
Mayor IS ex-Gov. John p. Alleged, the
man who was Governor of Illinois at the
time Mr.. Cleveland sent the regulars to
Chicago to put down the riot in that city.
Mayor Harrison was nominated by what
was called a Democratic convention, but
it seems that it was not a real Demo-.
cratic conventional least the Democratic
National Committee says It wasn't, beJ
cause il didn't say anything about the
Chicago platform in its proceedings. Elk
Gov. Altgeld's candidacy is deemed en-
tirely regular from the standpoint of the
Democratic National Committee, although
he was not nominated in a Democratic
convention. Naturally the Augeld faction
is very much gratifed by the Endorsement
the national committee.
The action of the Democratic National
COMMITTEE must have been a hard blow
to the ambition of Chicago's young Mayor.
lie was elected as a Democrat to the Of
fee he now holds, and he was under the
impression that the convention which gave
him his denomination was Democratic. So
confident had he been all along that he
bore the brand of true democracy that
his friends have been talking of him as a
candidate for the presidential nomination
of the Democratic party. That ambition
must have withered, however. since his
candidacy for second term as Mayor has
met with such a frosty reception from
the Democratic National Committee.
OF the wisdom of the action of the
ing Mayor Harrison, we are not prepared
TO speak. The effect of it cannot be 9th
erwise than to widen the factional diff
ferences Of Illinois Democrats Even IL
Mayor Harrison should be defeated for
Mayor he would retain a following, and
he would use his political influence against
the Democratic National Committee in
Illinois nextsSear, and might succeed in
giving it a great deal of trouble. From
the committees point of view, however,
doubt to be the wiser one At present
the indications are that Mayor Harrison
will be reelected.

The Late Princess KniuIani.

The major was reminiscent, says writ
er in the Philadelphia Press: 81 first met
the Princess Kaiulani in 1894, Think he
said. Il was in the smoking compart-
ment of a Pullman, on the way from Bos-
ton to Washington, and got into a discus
sion on the silver question with a great
big man in a Prince Albert, who smoked
DEAL but wouldn't say much. When he
went back to his regular seat for a while,
the porter told me il was Vice President
Stevenson, who, you remember, was just
then very mum on the money argument.
Well after a bit, went in and again sat
near him. We found-as one always does
that we knew lot of the same people,
and eventually he presented me to a fat,
dark woman, across the way, who proved
to be Queen Lii, and then to a strikingly
beautiful girl, who was the Princess. She
was much more English than most English
girls, which means she was less offensive
She ought TO have been able TO plead her
cause very well at Washington. 1 re-
member appealing to her to decide our sill
yer debate. oh, she laughed, must
agree with the President on every subject
but one "

knew Him and Didn't.

A young couple called at a fashionable
boarding house in the West End a cou-
pie of weeks ago to engage board, says the
Washington Post. They were from Chi
cago, and the husband had recently secur-
ed an appointment in one of the depart
ments. The landlady, an amiable and pref
ty, if a trihe faded little woman, showed
the couple the vacant rooms, and one of
them was finally accepted.
Now, you'n want references, of course, -
said the young wife, after the terms had
been fixed. Then she mentioned the name
of a Washington man of some prominence.
You know him, or of him, 1 presume -
she inquired. HE is my husbands I'M
Gle"
WELL" replied the fandlady, ST cannot
precisely say that 1 know him. Nobody
ever really knew him. He's something of a
mystery. Now, I was married to him for
twelve years, and at the conclusion of
that period, when 1 secured my divorce, 1
don't think 1 could have conscientiously
placed my hand over my heart ana de-
clared that 1 actually knew him. Some men
are so difficult to get acquainted with, you
know.
The situation was a bit embarrassing,
but the young couple took the room they
had decided upon, anyhow.

THE ETHERPHnNE.

The success of the young Italian in
ventor, Marconi, in transmitting telegraph
ic messages across the English chan
mel, from Foikestone to Boulogne, with
out wires has aroused the interest of the
scientific world. Tesla, Preece and other
experts in electricity say that the princi-
pie employed by Marconi is not new, but
they give him credit for having success
fully applied that principle where others
Marconi began with sending sympathetic
electrical waves from one instrument to
another through the air, OF ether. (hence
the name Etherphone, which has been Civ
en- to the apparatus) over short distances.
Succeeding in this, he stretched his dis
lance of telegraphing without wires to
miles, and last week he had the satisfaction
of exchanging a number of Etherphone
messages between Folkestone and Bou-
longe, a distance of thirty-two miles At
each station he had tower 118 feet high,
called the conductor. With towers, or con-
ductors, of sufficiert hight he says he
could telegraph across the Atlantic ocean
it is merely a question of a short time
when the wireless biography will be
brought to such a state of perfection that
it can be employed at will almost any
where
Whether or not the Etherphone system
will ever supercede the telegraph, with its
costly metallic circuit, is a question for
the future. At present it does not seem
to threaten to become a dangerous rival
since a speed of sixteen words per minute
is the best that Marconi has been able TO
get without wires. The metallic circuit
telegraph, on the other hand, can be made
to carry five or six hundred words per
minute; thus il appears that there is a
wide margin of preference for the metal
lie circuit which must be overcome by the
ether circuit before it can hope to become
popular and profitable. Again. 1t has been
pointed out by an expert that a message
being flashed through the air could be in
tercepted and read by any person possess
ing the proper sort of a receiving instru-
ment, anywhere between the point of
transmission and intended point of receipt.
Thus the Etherphone would not be a safe
secret method of sending messages. In
times of war. for instance, a message
might easily get into the hands of the
enemy.
Such objections however. are only minor
incidents. The perfection of practical
system of wireless telegraphy would be
attended with numerous benefits. Take
the matter of collisions at sea: 1t is said
that neither rain nor fog affects the work.
! ing of the instruments. If two ships sup
piled with the instruments were approach
ing each other in a fog, they would be
able 10 warn each other of the danger
a considerable length of time in advance,
and to exchange steering directions, thus
making a collision avoidable. Having
made the first step successfully. it is to
be expected that Marconi and his assist
ants will now devote themselves to the
end of making the system commercially
available.

both Were Alarmed.

The young Siamese Princes are having
a good time in Nice. says an exchange. 1t
has become the fashion to invite them to
all the receptions, and to judge by their
faces they enjoy being lionized. A dis
tinctly funny episode took place the other
day. A certain lady, after a great deal of
pains, succeeded in getting an Introduction
to one of the dusky youngsters. The in
PRODUCTION took place in a well-known
drawing room. With perfect correctness,
but rather to the surprise of those present
especially his highness, the lady saluted
him with deep court courtesy. The little
princeling, who had been wearing a good
natured smile, looked almost terrified, and
1t was thought he was either going to cry
or run away. With the benevolent idea of
putting him at his ease the lady promptly
asked him how many brothers and sisters
he had. to which he replied quite limo
Gently, that he did not exactly know, but
that the last time he had the curiosity to
inquire the number was in the neighbor-
hood of eighty. 1t was then the good
DANES turn to look frightened.

A Tender-Hearted Doctor.

DR.. Gruby. a physician of Paris, was ia
nous for his efforts to protect animals
from cruelty, says the Youths Compan-
ion. He went beyond those who are hu-
name simply as far as four-footed crea-
lures he was logical enough to include in
sects in his mercy.
He was, however, little nervous, and
when, one day, in his parlor. a big, blue
fly buzzed uninterruptedly on a window
pane the doctors patience became a lit
tie worn, and he called his man servant
'Do me the Kindness" said the doctor,
ITO open the window and carefully put
that outside"
But, SIR" said the servant, who
thought of the drenchiug the room might
get through an open easement, lit is rain

The doctor still thought of the fly. and
not of his cushions.

Admiral Kautz,s wit.

Men serving under Rear Admiral Kautz
soon learn to swear by him. His wit never
fails him, and he is the subject of more
good stories than any other man in the
service, says an exchange. Being complj-
mented on one occasion on his fine horse
manship. he replied that his ability to ride
a horse was altogether due TO the fact thai
his brother was in the cavalry Two DAYS
later in the presence of the man who had
complimented him, the admiral was
thrown sprawling in the middle of the
road. His friend made haste to withdraw
anything he had said complimenting the
admlrars horsemanshp. and asked
what is the mater with that cavalry
brother of yours?"
"He was transferred 10 the infantry yes
terday," said the admiral. II ought to
have had more sense than to get on a
horse at ALL"

The Cubans, under American protection,
are TO be permitted a dc-e9able privilege
which the citizens of this country are not
allowed to enjoy. They are TO have the
right to purchase ships in any market in
the world where they may be able to get
them 90 the best advantage, and sail them
under their own flag. without paying any
duty. An American citizen cannot do
this. He must have his ships built in
this country. whether the building costs
much or little, if he hopes to sail them
under the American flag and engage in
American domestic commerce. Why should
not the people Of the United States have
as much liberty in the matter of purchas-
ing their ships as the people of Cuba?
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-04-04

1t looks as if somebody were trying to
get a cheap advertisement out of the al
legged proposition to loan the Cuban as
sembly $2O.OOOO00. 1t is safe to say that
no such proposition is being seriously con-
sidered by any person who could raise that
sum Of money, or by any syndicate of
persons having that amount of cash to
invest. The Cuban assembly IS not repre-
sentative Of anything except itself; it has
no power to do anything except pass reso-
luuons and make speeches; II cannot sign
a bond or issue a mortgage. A man would
be a simple,on 10 invest a dollar upon the
strength of the promises Of the Cuban as
sembly; and persons who have millions of
dollars are usually not simpletons.

The dry routine of proceedings before
the prosy Court Of Claims in this city was
broken during the past month or so by
the unfolding of d pathetic romance, the
participants in which were persons Of real
life, says the Washington correspondence
of the Pittsburg Dispatch. The case was
that of Clara II. Flower against the Unit
ed States for damages on account Of the
destruction of her husbands home and
live stock by federal troops during the
civil war.
MIR. James Fullerton. a Southern attor-
ney, appeared as counsel for the claimant.
In the ordinary course Of events the case
would probably not have been reached this
term, but on Jan. 4 Mr.. Fullerton came
into court and asked that this particular
case be advanced and heard at once.
He then made dramatic appeal to the
court, stating that he was suffering from
a deadly malady and that the doctors had
informed him that he could not live more
than a month. He added that he had pecu-
liar personal reasons for closing out the
case in which he was engaged as attorney
and that he was the only man living who
could complete it.
This address had a marked effect upon
the court and the attorneys present. The
court consented to hear the claim at once.
Despite his weakened condition, Mr.. Full
lerton made an able argument in behalf
Of his client but at its conclusion he left
the court room in evident distress.
The prediction of his physician in re-
gard to the duration of his life was true,
for abouLthe middle of February, before
a decision had been handed down, he died.
his doctors stating that death was due to
cancer.
The other day the Clerk of the Court
made this entry In the ledger devoted to
the case of Clara H. Flower against the
United States: Judgment for claimant, so, :
