which were lost last winter would havo an easier

nothing TO do toward slsstlng NOM

the Bryan platform. and about this there was
no mistake yesterday. The Tammany victory
in New York county was purely a local
affair The local ticket nominated By the Re-
publican county organization. 10 the estima-
ton OF those familiar with the facts. did not APP
peal to the voters. There were able men on the
ticket. It was said. but IN other directions II
was weak. for the reason til at II called for po-
litioal eIpediency rather than for high politi-
cal principles. II was the work. II was said. OF
erratie and unbalanced Repub llosn politicians.
and the ticket did not appeal to the sound
and conservative men Of the Republican party.
They could not vote for the ticket so they re-

Eulaiie's Mysterious Looking Box
Gave French Authorities II Scare.
Rome letter: The Spanish infanta
Eulalie has just been the cause of Il
pretty bad scare to the French au-
thorities at Boulogne Sur Mer, where
the queen of Naples and number of
other royal personages are accus.
toned to spend the month OF August
for the sake of sea bathing. A few
days before the arrival of the infanta,
an immense amount of baggage ar
rived for her from England, including
an extraordinary looking package case
bearing some resemblance to a coffin.
The freight in question was consigned
to one of the hotel proprietors of the
town as the property of Princess Eu-
lalie of Orleans" her husband, Don
Antonio, being, as the only son of the
late French duke of Montpensier, "a
prince of the house Of Orleans, in addi-
ton to being a Spanish infanta.
The fact that the freight belonged
to an Orleans, coupled with the pecu-
liar shape of this particular looking
packing case, seems to have led to a
belief on the part of the custom house
and police authorities that the duke OF
Orleans himself must be inside the
box, and when two or three knotholes
in the wood were discovered, it was as
sumed that they must be airholes, and
that the fat pretender was taking this
method of making his way into France,
The government at Paris was at once
notified, and, at length, in the pres
ence of large force of custom house
officers, police officers, police officials,
gendarmes and two companies of mill
tary, the box was opened and was
found to contain the dummy or lay fig
ure on which are fitted the dainty
| frocks of the Infanta Eulalie.
