CRUMpACKER'S BILL.
Indiana Republican Wants to
Punish States Which Have
DISTINGUISHED Negroes.

The probability that the apportlon-
ment bill which has been introduced
into congress by Representative Crum-
packer of Indiana will receive much
consideration is very remote. lie Is
the leader of the small coterie OF re-
publican politicians who want to pun
ish those states which have disflan-
chised illiterate negroes. The states
at which his bill strikes are Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina and North
Carolina These four states are de-
prived of twelve representatives, as
follows Louisiana ,. Mississippi },
South Carolina 3, North Carolina t.
Only two of these states, however
have franchise laws of which republl-
cans can reasonably complain. they
are North Carolina and Louisiana.
They have in their constitution what
is known as the grandfather clause. :
1t discriminates against the negroes,
In South Carolina and Mississippi
there is no such discrimination in the
law, though it is charged that In adj
ministering the registration law there
is such discrimination. 1t is difficult
to see, however, how congress can
take notice of race discrimination In
making an apportionment unless there
is legislation of some kind to justify
such action.

TRAVELS OF THE EYELIDS.
You Wink 1900 Miles in Fifty
Years.

s. GAS quick as a wink" is q proverb
of comparison. The rapidity of the
wink. however, is of more interest TO
scientists in Germany, who have com
puted that in our waking hours by
winking once d second on an average
man performs the involuntary function
no less than 10000 times a day, or in a

"And yet these common wonders OF
our daily life become insignificant
when we come to consider the several
functions of the normal body" said
Dr. Geo. F. Shrady in commenting up
on these calculations. The miracle
of our ordinary existence has grown so
by familiarity that we
seldom regard these things in a seri-
Gus light. Take the circulation of the
blood and the action Of the heart, for
instance, which does a work in life

AFTER THE GOULDS.
CasteIIane's Debts Get All the
Family Into Court.

1t is evident that the creditors OF
the Count de Castellane do not intend
that his brother-in-law, George Gould,
shall administer the estate OF the
Countess de Castellane to suit himself
if they can help it. A London bric-a-
brac dealer who claims the count and
countess owe him $3S5,000 has hauled
the entire Gould family into court for
the purpose of having hearing as to
whether the income of the Countess
de Castellane shall not be administered
by the court rather than by George
Gould This creditor claims to know
that the countess estate amounts TO
$4,000. 900, and her income to $780, O00.
He thinks that S250,000 a year is sutfi-
cient for the Castellanes to live upon,
and he wants the balance applied t'
the payment of the counts debts
There is likely to be some good fees
for lawyers before the affairs OF the
Castellanes are adjusted.

COULD BE WORSE.
Late Democratic Defeat Wasn't
SO Bad, After All.

After all, the democratic defeat in
the late presidential election wasn't SO
very bad. 1t might have been worse.
And there are several significant
features to be found in the returns.
One of these is the decline Of the re-
publican vote and the corresponding
increase of the democratic vote in New
England. In 1896 the total vote of Mas
sachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Isl
and for Mr.. Mckinley was 6l5,9l+, and
the total vote for Mr.. Bryan was 249,
$50 In 1900 the total vote for Mr. Nc
Klnley in those states was 500, 451, and
for MIR, Bryan 335,201, Different con-
will be formed as to the sig
nifcance of these figures, but the fact
that the democratic party has gained
in New England during the past tour
years is not to be disputed.

a Vanderbilt at cvork.

1t is not easy to understand why
such an ado is made over the fact that
young Mr.. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
has elected to go into a railroad ofice
and learn the business in which he Is
to be an important factor, instead of
giving up his time exclusively to So
ciety and Its diversions. Numerous
sons of rich business men have done
the same thing. and the custom is not
SO infrequent that it should occasion
surprise. There are many such young
fellows similarly engaged, and it is
credftable to them that they prefer
an active business Ne to lazy social
career. Young Mr. Vanderbilt has
plenty of money and is removed from
the necessity OF any kind Of work,
but he has wisely chosen to learn the
business in which 80 much OF his
wealth is invested instead Of devoting
himself to polo. automobiles and golf.
In this respect his choice is in sharp
contrast with that Of young William
X. Vanderbilt, who is just now making
himself obnoxious In the land of
steady habits by his erratic perform
ances with automobiles and frequent
violations of state laws. Probably
young Alfred does not imagine le is
doing anything remarkable in select
ing business for his occupation as

have done before him

made brief stop at Vancouver's is

given by the governor. He was very
much struck by the appearance Of
girl who seemed to be the belle Of the
assemblage when he entered the room,
and learned by inquiry that she was
the daughter of the governor, whose
wife was full-blooded Indian. The
prince asked the honor of a dance;
but the girl, having. been educated at
finishing school in Portland, Ore,
held her head very high, and not know
ing the princes social station, re-
sponded that the governors daughter
was entitled to dance with officers of
higher rank than midshipmen The
prince took the rebuff good -naturedly.
His time for revenge came when one
