KEYSTONE DEMOCRATS TO CAUCUS.
Two Leaders Ambitious for the Sena-
tOrial

HARRISBURG, Pa, lam. 18th. selec-
ton Of a successor to Matthew Stanley
Quay in the United States senate has created

Gratis in the legislature as 1t has among the
republicans. With the democrats the ques-
ton Is whether George A.. jerks of Brook
Vile or G. F. Black OF New York shall be
the nominee Of tomorrow's caucus. The re-
publicans have a majority Of seventy -four
on Joint ballot and the only way the demo
Gratis hope to win is by a split among the
republicans.

MOSQUITOES KILL A FINE DOG.
Remarkable Result OF an Autopsy
n 81. Rernard.

Remarkable Result of an Autopsy ON
q st. Bernard.
A case which is unusual ard Of great in
terest to medical science has developed out
Of the death Of a valuable S.. Bernard dog
owned by Robert Cummings OF Newark, N. J.
According to veterinarians Who performed
an autopsy the dog was killed by mos
q~uitoes. In his heart was a lest Of thread
worms, which caused death BY clogging one
OF the valves. These worms, the doctors say,
came from mosquito eggs, which were either
injected into the blood by tie insect itself
or taken into the system whe1 the dog was
tapping water from some staeaant pool.
Mr.. Cummings had the AUTOPSY performed
because he thought the dog lad been poi
soned. No trace of poison WIS found, and
the veterinarians were puzzld until Dr..
Glennon opened the heart. How the worms
made their way there he does not know,
but he Is inclined to the belief that they
Travelled around the system n the blood,
finally lodging in the heart. Carefully re-
moving each worm separately the doctor
found hat there were twenty-s5ven Of them.
One was twenty-five inches lag. while its
width was no greater than thai of a thread.
In none Of the works of veterinary writer's,
DR.. Glennon says, is there Mentioned q
greater length than fifteen inch.s, and these
works cover all the known cass of thread
worms in America and Europe So rare, in
fact. is the threadworm that III presence in
the system is mentioned only In the latest
works.
According to Prof. Mansor.'' says DR..
Glennon, mosquitoes inject the embryo OF
the threadworm along with the human
blood. From the mosquitoes aomach the
worm penetrates into the best cavity.
where Its migration ceases, md 1t goes
through six stages of develpment. The
female mosquito lays its eggs and goes to
die in the water. Then the worms travel
through the tegmentary skeleto and swim
freely in the water. Man or animal may
thus become infected in two wys-through
the sting OF the mosquito containing the
worms, or through the infectiA Of water

Makes Some Su3gestiOns to the south
Carolina Legislature.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Jan. 1.-THE general
assembly Of South Carolina convened In
annual session yesterday. Governor Eller-
bee, in his message, took occasion to refer
to Q matter now much In the public mind,
the subject of lynching. He says at the
outset. During the last several years
there has been an apparently increasing dis
position among US to attempt the righting Of
real or supposed wrongs by the law-break-
ing practice of lynchlng.'' He says 1t means
the abolition Of the regular order of steps
and the destruction of social order.
Concluding. he says the remedy suggests
itself. "See to 1t, as conservers of the
peace Of the state, as makers Of its laws, as
the guardians Of it's sacred honor, that it's
laws are so enacted and SO administered that
conviction and punishment shall follow
crime with the certainty that links effects
to causes. 1t is possible. 1t is necessary in
the protection of society and vindication Of
Justice, that a stop be put to these legal
bubbles, those astute technicalities, that
vice encouraging dilatoriness In the ad-
ministration Of justice which tends not SO
much to the protection of individual rights
OF society as to utter loss of confidence in
the stability and even in the possibility of
government.
AS an additional measure OF restraint 1t
would be we'll. and l recommend that any
county In which the crime of lynching is
committed shall be liable to the heirs of
victims Of the lynchers in the sum of
$1,000. and that men who shall be convicted
Of participation In lynching shall be de-
prived Of the right to vote or hold office
In this state"

Another feature which is now being
seriously considered is the creation of

uine sea water. This scheme is not
lacking in grandeur, and although an
enormous amount of work and money
viii be required, from the standing of

reasonably sure that it will be carried
out.
NJ. Tierpot, a well-knoWn and highly
esteemed engineer, is the author of the
project of which all details, he says
have been studied carefully and found
practical. Huge pumping engines will
be established on the shore of the
Channel, about six miles to the north
Of Dieppe. These engines will send,
through three parallel pipe lines, Il
large supply Of salt water right into
Paris, much as petroleum is sent trav-
cling from one city to another in the
United States. \ vast lake will be dug
out at Longchamps the celebrated
raceuack and military maneuverng
grounds of the Bois de Boulogne. The
water, after having coursed through
one hundred and twenty-five miles Of
pipes, would empty into this lake. The
shores will be graded into a gentle
slope; find sand and the due proper
tion of tiny shells will be thickly spread
on these shores as well as on the bot
tom.
And thus viii real sea be created
for the delight and the comfort Of
Parisiaus. \ miniature sea, to be sure;

shore do not need the whole cXpanse
Of the ocean, nor do they ever use it.

PARIS BIG SHOW.
Some of the Attractions Which Will
Be on Exhibition in the Capital OF
France Next Year.

Writes Henri Dumay, in Golfers Weekly.
The passenger wheel, which has been
erected in Paris by am Anglo Ameri-
can syndicate on The model of the
famous Ferris implement, is now lin
ished and revolving every day from /
to II o'clock. 1t is a size or two more
tremendous than the Chicago thing
was and, during daytime, almost as
brutally conspicuous over the city as
il that horror of horrors, the Eiffel
Tower. At night, though, nothing is
seen of the wheel but the huge circle
of incandescent lights, and then the
effect is more weird than unpleasant.
This luminous arc that stands against
the darkness as If nothing sustained it,
looks like a supernatural sign just risen
above the horizon, something strange
and dangerous to the inhabitants Of
the earth. Among humans the inClin-
alton to do Senseless things is such,
when a fee is charged for the privilege,
that during the few weeks the amuse-
ment has been offered TO the Partisan
public the business has been eEtlaurdi-
narily fine During this time more peo-
pie have paid for the circular ride than
have in Chicago or London during the
same period. The wheel lately put up
IN Paris is only the first of the popular
features which are going to be offered
to the visitors of the coming World
Fair. There will be many Others-sOme
n great deal more startlingly original
than the Ferris attraction. Recent in
Quiry shows, however, that some Of
the queerest things trumpeted have, for
some reason or other, been abandoned
For instance. the hole in the ground
which was TO be two miles deep, with
circular room sixty yards in diam
eter at every five hundred feet of it's
length and which was destined to pro-
vide us with samples of underground
climates at different depths, even TO
the trOpical-or rather VOlCaniC-heat /
to be found at the bottom of the shaft;
that hole has been found too expensive
and will never be bored.
The atrociously enormous sphere of
aluminium-thc sphere of goodness
knows what radius-on which the con-
tinents We're to be represented as near
natural size as possible; that sphere,
on second thought, has been deemed a
little too large ana will not be con-
structed.
The more than colossal bicycle made
Of two wheels each larger than the
Ferris monstcr-the bicycle that was
to span the exposition grounds-do you
remember having been told about it?
