M'DERMOTT'S WORTH.
Col. Deans Excellent Ap-
praisal ofthe Congress
sional Candidate.

An excellent appraisal of Allan Nc
Dermotts abilities for the office to which
he will be elected was made by Colonel
Dean at a meeting of the German
American Bryan and Stevenson Club last
night. This is what Colonel Dean said:-
s.No man can truthfully question the
depth of Allan L. McDermott sconvic
tions and the sincerity of his faith. Long
has he filled the public eye faithfully has
he discharged the trusts committed to
his care. While in the Senate of this
state he brought to the task both the
ability of an advocate and the devotion of
a Democratic American. He gave to his
State the fullest ability he could COM
mand. His fellow citizens know his re-
cord, of his diligent and devoted labor as
a State Senator. But the claims of his
State, will not lessen his devotion to his
country when he arises to address the
Congress of our Nation. Believing in the
perfection of the Democratic party and
the permanence of Democratic institu-
tions, he will as a Congressr'a1 fo sefr--
less and urgent in all measures for the
defense o. n.s CO o-ae4s ..ee -----s
and the preservation of the Republic The
future will determine the value of his
service, and | am positive his constituents
will pronounce the verdict well done,
and will re-elect him by an increased
majority That he will be elected on the
sixth of next month goes without say
ing.
.sPublic life has many temptations, and
there have been men In public station
who have thought it not beneath them to
serve themselves and their own interest.
but Allan McDermott, as a Senator from
Hudson County. did not seek or use his
office for private gain or personal
emolument His unsullied public services
as State Senator. as Corporation Counsel
of Jersey City. are known. and they are
as creditable to the people of this city.
county and State, as to himself.

In Allan L. McDermott the Democrats
of Hudson County have candidate for
Congress in whom they can trust with
complete confidence that their interests
will be protected in an intelligent and
efficient manner. Mr.. McDermott has
been in the fierce light of public life
several years and in all the many posi-
tions in which he has been chosen to serve
the public he has never yet betrayed the
confidence which has been placed in him.
AS Finance Commissioner, Counsel for
the Corporation of Jersey City, and State
Senator. he has so conducted himself that
the affairs of the city and State have
been the better for his connection with
them.
In these positions he has been called
upon to face many complicated and diff
cult tasks. which would cause many q
them upon himself. But with courage
born of a high sense of devotion to duty,
Mr.. McDermott went to work and accom-
plished those tasks in manner which
has won for him regard and admiration
from even his enemies. AIr. McDermott's s
ability as a lawyer and his standing at the
bar of the county is amply attested by the
cases in private life in which he has been
engaged. With such L man representing
them in the National Congress the citi-
zens of Hudson County know that they
will be represented by man who will
reflect credit and honor upon them, their
State and their country.

catic nominee for Congressman, was
born In South Boston, Mass. on March
80 1854. His father was Hugh Farrer Nc
Dermott. who, to use the language Of the
memorial resolutions adopted by the New
York Press Club. on his decease, in 1890.

made a conspicuous place and earned en-
during fame for himself.' His mother

she was of one of the oldest families in
New England. In 1870. the subject of this
sketch determined to follow journalism.

Chinese Inuueets,

Coroners' inquests are well known
among the Chinese One of the chic,
differences between their system and
ours is that the Chinese doctors never
dissect. In fact, Cinnamon have a per-
feet horror Of dissection. There are
few things more absurd than the code
CT rules laid down for the Chinese cor
oner. In the first place he is hidden
TO make sure that he has dead body
before he begins his inquest. That.
however, is less ridiculous than it
scunds,for the heather Chinee is tricky
and may demand an inquest or a sham
deceased with a view of extortiug
money from some one who may be
denounced as having caused his death.
The preposterous Part OF the code
comes in with regard to the alleged
signs which show che cause of death.
IT the deceased is supposed to have
been poisoned, rice is put into his
mouth and then taken out and given to
r chicken. It's effect on the fowl de-
,ides the question. Most of the other
methods adopted are even more absurd
md fanciful, and as result inguests

A FAIR YOUNG ORATOR,

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, the
famous woman lecturer, has a charm
ing 17-year-old daughter, Evelyn
Louise, who bids fair to rival her
mother in the gift Of oratory. Miss
Evelyn is now studying law in New
York, where her mother has taken up
a residence, with view to a politico-
legal career. She is the youngest wom-
an lecturer in the United States. She
made her debut as public speaker at
meeting of the Peoples party in st.
Louis eight years ago, beginning with
a child's recitation and launching into
a woman suffrage speech Miss Lease
has a sweet, but powerful, voice, per-
sonal magnetism and fine presence.

For Black Eyes.

1t Is often the case that people meet
with accidents and bruises that cause
disflguring and discolorat!ons from
which they suffer no: little embar-
rassment and annoyance. 1t is worth
while to know that there is a simple
remedy, and one quite within the reach
Of everyone. Immediately after the
accident, mix an equal quantity OF
capsicum annuum with mucilage made
of gum arabic. To this add few
drops OF glycerine. The bruised sur
face should be carefully cleansed and
dried, then painted all over with the
capstcum preparation. Use camel's-
hair brush and allow it to dry; then
put on the second or third coat as soon
az the first Is entirely absorbed.

EVELYN LOUISE LEASE.
An Enemy Of Huma uity,

There are probably few persons OF
mature years who have not read the
story Of the man who put the sick beg
gar upon his best horse in order to
take him to his home and friends. The
beggar suddenly recovered his strength
and rode off with the horse that was
the pride of the desert and the fortune
of his owner. The man called after the
thief and begged him to halt for a mo-
ment. Safe from pursuit, he did so,
when his benefactor implored him new
er to tell how he obtained the horse,
as the incident, if known, might stand
in the way Of relief of some honest
beggar who sought charity by the
wayside. Although it is claimed that
the story is very old one, it is just
as applicable to our time as it was
when the affair occurred It is the pro-
fessional beggar who makes the most
terrible suffering possible to those who
are too proud, too honest, Or too tim
i'd to ask for what they need.

"Cercle Francois de l. Unlversite Har-
vard,' endowed by Mr.. J. Fl. Hyde. In
consequence of his selection az the
next regular lecturer in the series, NJ.
Regnier will deliver eight lectures on

Henri de Regnier was born at Hon
feur, near Havre, France, on Dec. 2S
1864. His first verses were published
in November, 1885, under the title OF
LES Lendemains." This debut was
not unnoticed, but it was only In 1887,
with the publication Of sonDet5 entitled

Sites" that he attracted the attention
of the literary world. NJ. de Regnier
belonged to the group of young poets
that received the name of "Decadents, :"
or "Symbolists," this last name being
permanently attached to those who
recognized Paul Veraline and Stephane
Mallarme as leaders. From 1887 NJ de
Regnier's works appear in quick sue
cession. The titles OF these various
poems are as follows: Episodes"
1888; "Poemes Anciens ct Roman
esques," 1890; Tel QUEEN Songe," 1892;
"Arethuse," 1895. In addition to his
poems he published. in 1895, series
OF stories, La Came de Jaspe," and
another one in 1899, lie Trefle Blanc"
He contributed, both in verses and
prose, to the most important maya
zines or reviews of the avant-garde or
new movement. He contributes to the
Revue des Deux Mondes, and to the
Revue de Paris" and also to several
important papers literary articles over
his signature which are highly appre-
ciated. The French academy awarded
him this year the Prix Vitet, for his
works, and M. CASTOR BOLSTER, the
secretary Of the academy, expressed
himself in the following manner in his
official report: M de Regnier is one
OF the leaders Of that new school which
pretends to do no less a thing than
modify the form and the spirit of
French poetry. The enterprise is a
daring one. Everybody recognizes that
NJ. de Regnier has very fine poetical
gifts. abundance and richness in
images; amplitude and harmony of the
period, grace both provoking and
natural that makes him admired even
OF those his boldness displeases." NJ
de Regnier was made a chevalier of the |
Legion Of Honor In 1897. He married
the second daughter Of Jose-Maria de |
Heredia Of the French academy, the re-
nowned author of LES Trophies" and |
is in consequence of this the brother
in-law Of M. Pierre Louys, the author
OF "Aphrodite" and "Chansons de
Bilitfs"

Young men with a taste for travel
adventure and discovery have been
lately In the state Of mind INDUCED In
by Alexander who sat down and wept
because there were not more worlds
to conquer. For the comfort and edit
cation of such, Henry M. Stanley, the
distinguished ex-traveler, publishes an
article on the odds and ends Of earth
which are still left open, or rather
closed. for exploration, and which,
with industry and economy, could be
made to yield something to the trav-
eler. Mr.. Stanley begins with the con-
tinent Of Africa, which still offers GER
tain parcels Of ground, one of them 700
miles long and fifty miles wide, which
have never been thoroughly explored,
or, indeed, explored at all. Besides the
work of original exploration there is in
Africa an immense amount OF supple
mentary exploration to be done. There
are mountains $1,000 feet high to be
climbed and written up in detail.
These mountains all have names which
may be found in any good central AZ
RIGA lexicon. The great African lakes.
all discovered since 1850, are known
only, as it were, in outline. Their
depth or their altitude above the sea
level is unknown as yet. The Nile has
a few more sources yet to be discov-
cred and so has the Congo. There are
believed to be active volcanoes in At
RIGA which have never yet been studied
by white men. There are scattered
around in the forests and mountains OF
Africa whole tribes who have never
seen a white face. These are all to be
looked up. Besides Africa. the CONT
nent Of South America offers great
tracts Of almost unknown country. An
American steamer occasionally ascends
the Amazon, but the vast forests on
the head waters Of that stream-its
tributaries themselves great rivers-is
still mystery. The great chain of
the Andes has been crossed in many
places, but has not been traversed
lengthwise. A great part OF the An
