several business cards bearing the
name and address given above. The
body is at Belleville awaiting identi-

The Republicans Have Congress.

The splendid victory which the Re
publicans have gained in the election
of Congress is fully as gratifying as
the triumph which has been won in the
choice of President. 1t is, of course,
well.known that the contest for Con-
gress was much harder than that for
the higher Office. Many ''anti-impe-
rlalists' who voted for President Nc
kinley on the finance issue voted for
Democratic members of the House of
Representatives so as to tie his hands
on the Philippine policy. Men like
Charles Francis Adams, who detested
Organism SO far as it related to ma
tional reputation. and thus support
ed the Republican ticket for President,
accepted the Bryanite policy of with
drawing from the Philippines at the
earliest possible moment. and cast
their ballots for Democratic Congress-
men. Thus it happened that the con-
test for Congress was severe for the
Republicans. Thus, too, the victory
is especially pleasing. Ordinarily, of
course, the party which carries the
presidency elects the House of Repre-
sentatives which is chosen in that con-
test. There have been only two ex-
ceptions to this rule since parties were
founded on the present basis. One of
these was in 1913, when the Wings,
who won the President, Zachary Tay-
lor, lost the House of Representatives.
The other was in 1876, when the Re-
publican President, Rutherford B.
Hayes, was confronted by a Demo-
cratic House at the outset in his term,
and the Democratic majority in the
House a increased in the election
which occurred in the middle of his
term. There were peculiar obstacles
against the Republicans in the can
vass which has just ended. and the
triumph is a matter for profound graf
ifcation throughout the country.
Republican policy. as already out
lined on all the great issues. will be
carried out. The gold standard act
of March II, 1900. will be strengthen
ed in the one o. two points in which it
needs strengthening. y sensible army
act will be passed. The rebellion in
the Philippines. which has been con-
tinued for electioneering purposes.
will nov quickly come to an end. y
settlement will be reached on the Phil
ippine issue which will be satisfactory
to the majority of the Filipinos. and
meet the approval of the American
people. The policy which has brought
prosperity to the United States at
home and which has advanced the
country's credit abroad will be con-
tinued. The stamp of popular APP
prevail has been given to the Republic
can administration, and to the Repub-
lican majority in Congress, and the
good work which both have been do
ing and attempting to do will o be
carried to a triumphant conclusion.
American political sanity has receiv-
ed a new and striking exemplification
by the victory in the congressional
canvass. The American, in every
part of the world in which he is found,
will have a new reason to be proud of
his country.-Globe-D Democrat.

Some Vienna savans were lately con-
fronted with language difficulty. Ac-
cording to the Independence Beige, a
young girl, unknown, was found I'M
conscious in street at Presburg and
was conveyed to the hospital at Wen
ma, where she recovered consciousness
and began to speak in language
which no one present could under
stand The doctors came to the con-
clusion that the young woman was a
native of an eastern country.
Consequently some professors from
the oriental school were called in, and
they were all agreed that the girl did
not speak correct language, but a
dialect. The professor of Persian held
that she spoke a Persian dialect and
that he understood it. Another pro-
fessor was of opinion that it was an
Abyssinian dialect. A third was con-
vinced that it was Turkish patois.
Since the savans were not agreed the
police deemed 1t necessary to make In
quiries, with the result that the stran,
ger was proved to be a Hungarian who
had escaped from a prison and who
did not understand word of Persian,
Abyssinian or Turkish.-London Globe.

A Natural Mistake.

A few years before his death Allen
G. Thurman of Ohio was engaged as
counsel in a lawsuit which was tried
before a country judge in one Of the
small towns In the central part of the
state. Opposing Judge Thurman was
young lawyer named Cassidy, who
wore his hair pompadour, assumed an
air of great dignity and was apparent
ly greatly impressed with his own inn
portance. Upon several occasions dur
ing the progress of the trial Thurman
referred to his legal opponent as "Mr.
Necessity" The young man arose
whenever this occurred and with great
gravity reminded the court that his
name was Cassidy. Finally, after the
offense had been repeated about a
dozen times, the pompous attorney ex-
claimed:
II must again remind counsel upon
the other side that my name is Cas-
sidy. can't understand why he per-
sists in maintaining that it is Neces-
sity."

Thurman. 1.-THE reason l keep getting
him confused with Necessity is, pre-
sumo, due to the fact that the latter
knows no law."-Chicago Times-Her-

BAKE THEMSELVES ALIVE.
Russian Fanatics Thus Obtain Re-

Russian Fanatics Thus Obtain Re-
lease From Trouble.
Baking themselves In huge roaring
ovens is the climax of emotional en-
thuslasm and self sacrifice Of a
strange sect Of Russians. They are the
Begonny, and they live in the village
Of Ternowo, near Tiraspol.
The sect's origin was rather political
and economical than religious, their
agitations having always been direct
ed toward greater personal liberty and
political power for individual members
of society.
They demand the abolition of docu-
ments for proving identity and also the
abolition of the necessity for the pass
port. They repudiate compulsory mill
tary service, and if forced to bear arms
they are liable to emotional enthusi-
asm, leading to self sacrifice. The
form of death which they adopt is usu-
ally burial while alive, but occasional
ly it is self destruction by fire.
When the last great sacrifice of the
sect was made, the people adopted the
voluntary cremation method as q
means of getting an eternal release
from their troubles. On single day
four families went out from a village
and did themselves to death, A huge
oven was built, and into 1t those who
voluntarily decided to die plunged
themselves.
The people who lacked the necessary
enthusiasm or strength of mind or who
felt that they were not worthy of at
tempting the great achievement knelt
and prayed while they wept for their
relatives and friends, whose charred
bones they kissed in au ecstasy Of af-
lection and admiration.

STAGE KISSES ARE GENUINE.

The Public Demands Realism Even

Embraces and kisses are rehearsed

must have an impulsive manner. They
must look sufficiently feryid. 1t is a
curious sight-that of two players who
are to express the ardent love which
Shakespeare has written for his To

In modern clothes and no accessories of
glamour, practice kiss as mechanical
" and unfeelingly as though it were,
as it is then, utterly devoid of senti-
ment. There must be no hesitation or
clumsiness. Romeo is not permitted to
decide whether to throw both arms
around bis sweetheart or only one or
which, nor may Juliet be shy or for

chooses. The director will place their
arms for them IL thev.- do not them

"And the kiss? Shall it be delivered
by the wooer on the lips Of the won
or on the brow or cheek? That ques-
ton is considered and settled. Are
kisses on the stage genuine? Well, not
at rehearsals, except, maybe, once or
twice, In order to show the effect fully.
An actress would resent real kiss at
a rehearsal except when necessary

With no Unborn literary facility, with
an Unborn artistic conscience that drove
him on in untiring pursuit Of perfec-
ton, Balzac filed the vast chasm be-
tween his thought and its expression
with countless pen strokes and by
methods of composition all his own,
the exact reverse of those of Dumas,
writing at white heat, never rewriting,
or Of Hugo, who said. II know not the
art Of soldering beauty In the place
of defect, and correct myself in an
other work"
Balzac began with a short and
sketchy and slipshod skeleton, making
no attempt toward sequence or style,
and sent 1t, with all It's errors, to the
printer. Proofs were returned to him
In small sections pasted in the center
of huge sheets, around whose wide bor-
ders soon shot from the central text
rockets and squibs of the authors adj
ditions and corrections fired by his in
furiated fist. The new proofs came
back on similar sheets, to be returned
to the printer again like the web and
tracks Of a tipsy spider. This was re-
peated dozen or, 1t is said, score of
times. always with applications, until
his typesetters became palsied luna
tics. He overheard one Of them as he
entered the Office one day say: 1--WE
