The Republicans of Washington dis
trict opened their campaign in the
North End last night. The speaking
occurred from a stand erected near
the Republican wigwam. When the
meeting opened there was a fair crowd,
doubtless attracted by the band, for
after the speaking began, they slowly
drifted away, and when the meeting
ended there was a very small crowd
left. The crowd was composed mainly
of women and children. During the
course of the speaking the Eighth
ward Republicans who were in attend
ance collected their drum corps, hoisred
their flag and paraded away, leaving
the speaker in the middle of an adj
dress. The chairman of the evening
was w. S. Caldwell. He introduced 3.
B. Dovener as the first speaker of the
evening.
He began as follows: "Mr. Chairman,
ladies and gentlemen: Any statement
| make this evening that is not true,
you may challenge that statement
In 1896 the country was suffering from
a paralyzation of business, men were
without work, prosperity vanished We

retain it here. (Faint cheers) am not
going to dodge the issues of the cam
paign. | am going to talk on trusts
and imperialism. Imperialism is the
last thing the Democrats ought to talk
on. There is no such thing as imperi-
alism; we never had imperialism in
this country. There should not be a law
against trusts. | give as my reason for
this statement history"
Mr.. Dovener then undertook to show
that Bryan favored trusts. He also
tried to show why the Philippines and
other colonies should not be repre-
scented. He said because the territories
and the District of Columbia were not
should not be allowed to do so.
Dovener then said that the Republi-
can party was the only party that ever
passed laws concerning trusts.
The chairman then introduced the
following speakers: John Arbentz. A.
Mccullough, George Laughlin. both
of the latter candidates for the
Legislature. During the course of Mr..
GlcCulloughls address he said that
when election day comes I'VE win be
at the polls to vote for ourselves"
Frank NesIbtt was the next speaker.
and he said that everything that the
Republicans did that was good. the
Democrats cried unconstitutional. At
ter Nesbitt's address Mr. Steck and S.
q. Smith both delivered actresses.

1t is learned that the board OF man.
ayers or the Humane Society think that
they should have the city taxes on dogs,
as it would be of considerable advant-
age to them and at the same time no
loss to the city. A gentleman who is
interested in humane work stated yes
terday that the society is called upon
TO provide protection for the citizens
against the danger of being bitten by
the dogs and certainly ought to have
funds. as it gets no money for carrying
on the work. He therefore thought
that the organization was entitled TO
the taxes on CANNES and that it was
possible that the society would ask
Council to give them such financial aid.

MILITARY LIFE IN BERMUDA.
The British Soldiers's Athletic Sports
Parades and Music

In Bermuda, by permission Of his
eXcellency. the governor, who is also
the commander-in-chie of her majes-
tvs forces in the islands, there is an
annual exhibition of athletic sports
by the regiment which is stationed
there. When | was here before, the I'd
battalion of the prince Of Wales s
Leinster regiment (Royal Canadians
was at this post. This year it is the
I'd battalion. Worcestershire regiment.
These troops are a fine set Of men, ard
their parades and drills are as nearly
perfect as anything can be. But they
long for active service. Whether this
comes by fortune or by favor, l do not
know, but l have been informed by
some of the officers that this regiment
has had no part in Englands wars
since the Crimean war. This, which
would seem good fortune to the advo-
cate of peace, and perhaps to women
and children, is a sore trial to the
warriors heart. How bitterly some of
our own regiments regretted that they
could not have at least one chance in
the late war with Spain, and how
much have even the heroes of Porto
Rico made of their scanty laurels,
No British ellier can complain, how

SLAVES OF SIGNS AND OMENS.
Many Noted Actors Acknowledge Civ.
ing Away to Queer Superstitions

Superstition in the ordinary actor is
not at all surprising, for somehow the
stage breeds belief in luck and omenS,
but it is something to marvel at that
Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry
| should be slaves of signs. Sir Henry S
| superstitions are more numerous, com
monplace and pronounced than Miss
! Terry's. He will not walk under a lad
| der, while if he puts a garment on
wrong side out he has the blues for a
! day or two. 1t is curious too, that DAN
| lei FrOhman's only deep rooted super
Stition has to do with the donning Of
garment in the wrong way. Such q
mishap affects him and Irving differ
emily, for, while the actor changes the
| garment and worries about it, the man
ager is said to wear it as he puts it on
till the end of the day., believing that
thus he can prevent the coming of the
threatened i'll luck.
Miss Terry's single superstition is
shared by few persons. Apparently
she has no fear of the number 10, nor
of Friday, nor is she a believer in the
virtues Of the magic number 7. But
she stands in awe of the number g. II
| is her firm conviction that it brings i'll
luck to her invariably, no matter in
what form she encounters it. She will
not sit three at table, she even de-
clines to go on the stage by the third
| Izc%
story that once, when in Chicago, when
an enthusiastic young Englishman
proposed Three cheers for Ellen Ter
ry" she put her hands to her face and
ran away before the third cheer could
| be given.
| Mrs. James Brown Potter prOba bly,
has good stock of stage superstitions
| by this time, accumulated in the thea
! tiers of London and Australia, in which
she has won her greatest successes, but
when she was in America she had only
one worth mentiOning-tha was faith
in the unconscious power of red-headed
| persons to bring good luck. She had
been partial to sandy-haired servants
before she went ON the stage and after
the beginning of her dramatic career
! she saw to it that only the red haired
were allowed to sell tickets in the box
office of any theater in which she was
playing.

CHARACTER IN RED HAIR.

Red-haired women are ardent and
vivacious, especially if with it they
have hazel eyes, in which case they
have q bright and quick intelligence.
They have a. great deal of natural fell
lefty for study, and good memories.
Red hair with blue eyes shows the
same warmth of character, but not so
much intelligence; bright golden hair,
of a rich. deep color and Of a crisp and
waving texture, growing thickly on
the head and somewhat low on the
brow, shows an ardent, poetic and
somewhat artistic temperament. It is
the signature of Apollo, the sun. PEG
pie with red-brown hair which is very
thick, and redder over the ears and al
the temples than on the head, are
courageous and energetic. This sort OF
hair gives sense of color in painters

DELICACY OF TOUCH.
Dizziness Acquired by Handling Money
at the Mints.

Often one hears it said that the
Dhnd learn to see with their finger
tips, - remarked an old mint emplove.
and the smile is not so far fetched as
might be supposed. The extent to
which the sense of touch may be
trained and developed is amazing. Here
in the mint we have women employees
who can detect a counterfeit coin the
moment they lay hands on it, yet if
you asked them how they do it they
would be utterly unable to give an in
telllgent explanation. The only thing
they can say is that it feels wrong.
Such experts never make mistake and
will spot a spurious piece when the
most delicately adjusted mechanical
coin deteCtOr passes it as o. K. They
will know coin is genuine even after
the inscription has been practically
worn off by hard usage, but a counter
felt, old Or new, is instantly thrown
out
Of course they use their eyes as well
as their hands in the work, but their
main reliance is placed in their finger
tips, and to see them run over pile of
money, occasionally pushing aside a
bad piece, is well worth a trip to the
mint. In my younger days ] pos
sessed the faculty myself, but find |
have lost it to some extent. | believe
as one grows old the skin hardens i'm
peTceptibly and the touch becomes
less sensitive. I know that exposure
to cold will affect the hands in that re-
spect for several days at a time. There
used to be young man in the Carson
| City mint who was celebrated for his
skill as handler of money and for the
accuracy with which he could distin-
guish cOunterfeits. He told ME on one
occasion that he felt his touch greatly
blUnted by playing tenpins, a game OF
which he was very fond. For some
time he was at a loss to locate the
cause, but it finally occurred to MIN
and he abandoned the bowling alley

STAGE KISSES ARE GENUINE.
The Public Demands Realism Even IN
Stage Love- Making

Embraces and kisses are rehearsed
with the EXTREMIST care writes
Franklin F'yles in the Ladies Home
Journal. They must have an impul-
sive manner. They must look suf1i-
GENTLY fervid. 1t is a curious sight
that of two players who are to express
the ardent love which Shakespeare has
written for his Romeo and Juliet but
who at rehearsal, in modern clothes
and no accessories of glamour, practice
a kiss as mechanically and unfeelinely
as though it were-as it is then-ut-
terly devoid of sentiment There must
be no hesitation nor clumsiness. R0-
meO is not permitted to decide whether
to throw both arms around his sweet
heart or only one, or which Nor may
Juliet be shy or forward, yielding or
resisting, as she chooses. The director
will place their arms for them if they
do not themsel- make a picturesque
exhibit Of tenderness. And the hiss2
Shall it be delivered by the Wooer on
the lips Of the won, or on brow, or
cheek? The question is considered and
settled. Are kisses on the stage genu-
inc? Well, not at rehearsals, except,
maybe, once or twice in order to show
! the effect fully. An actress would re-
| sent a real kiss at rehearsal except
when necessary For the satisfaction
of natural curiosity on that point it
may be told right here that most of the
kisses in the public performances of
| plays are actual kisses"
