 Just year ago some manufacturers of artistic textiles touring in Donegal resolved on establishing a place sor the making of Eand-tufted carpets of the description generally known as Turkish" or Persian" The peculiar ity of this fabric is that from it's na- ture it must be hand production The tufts are tied by the fingers in knots In longitudinal warps, which are stretched between two long parallel beams. The carpets are made to the size and shape of any room. The de. sign is placed in front and the girls from three to 6 dozen, according to the size of the carpet, select tke colors indicated row by TOW, which are tied. then bound down by shoots" of wool- en weft drawn across the entire width and beaten firm by small iron-toothed hammers.

LAND POSSESSED BY DEVILS
Civil Spirits Are Supposed to Dominate an Interior African Country.

What an unmodern sound is that of "a devil-possessed land" Still, Capt. Welbey, who has been wandering in the interior of Africa, declares that he found one there. It is called Walamo, and is believed to be haunted by evil spirits. Capt. Welbey was warned by his escort before he passed it's limits that he would become the prey Of de. mons. lie found it a most winsona country, full of luXuriant vegetation and picturesque streams. The first omen of danger perceived by Capt Welbey was the sudden madness of one of his men. This unfortunate rushed into camp a raving maniac. Other cases of an equally terrible and daM- gerous sort soon followed. The Al ricans who formed Capt. Welbey's es- cort assured him that devils took hold of all who were watched by the Wala- mo inhabitants while they ate. H. himself, skeptical regarding these amazing statements, partook of meal before many Walamoans, who ob served him aK the wEiie, he declares With great, fxity Afterward, Go his own astonishment. he began to feel exceedingly i'll.

Whale a Disturhax.


 Last year the sardine fishery on the Biseayan coasts was a good deal spoilt by the presence of a large whale, which seemed to have got itself "cor- nered" in the wedge of the bay ot which the Bidassoa's estuary make. the apex. All the sea here, for some. thing like 200 miles out, is shallow go one can imagine the commotior that a rather badly flustered whal. would make on finding himself threat ened by stranding among the sardine population. Naturally enough the fishery did not prosper with suck large disturbing influence about Blu. 1t is not little singular that this year again, so far as the season has gone, little has been doing, and surely this cannot be occasioned by fear oi last years whale. But whateve1 the reason, the fact is too true tha' the sound of the lookout mans horn has been seldom heard (they post t aar on v1tch for sardines in the bay whose duty it is to sound his horn on their appearance, 10 summon the fish e:'snen to the boatsl, even though tho ceremony of the ""Interlo ,a los sar- dinos' has taken place, with all its chll3ish pageautry, in ali the Biscayap villages that the sardlne fishery con- cerns.

Those Bryanites who met az Columbus on
Wednesday and put state ticket In the
field caused some amusement, but Ii would
be a mistake to estimate the size and
strength of the Bryanite protest in the
state against the Mclean machine and it's
deliverance by that demonstration. 1t counts
for much more than that. and In a more
effective way than that it will be likely to
make itself felt at the polls.
Mr.. Bryan. 1t Is true. has eounseled his
friends to swallow their discontinue at the
Reputation of the Kansas City platform by
the state convention, and support the Kill
bourne ticket. Some Of them may take his
advice. But will any of them feel any
particular fear in disregarding II? Is Mr..
Bryan himself to give the highest evidence
OF his interest In that ticket? Is he going
into the state to stump Tor It? II not, why
not? Mr.. Mclean Of course will not invite
him. But why should not Col. Kilbourne? ?
His relations with Mr.. Bryan are very cor
dial and the latter might make whiriwind

Man hole ExDlOsiOns,

The manhole explosions which have been
occurring in this city during the past few
days have become rather too frequent for
comfort or safety. Two happened this
morning on Pennsylvania avenue within a
few minutes of each other, at the same
place, indicating a serious leak Of gas into
the electric conduit. Fortunately thus far
no one has been hurt, although the heavy
TAPS when blown skywa-d are dangerous
missiles. These detonations indicate that
something is radically wrong with both the
gas mains and the electric wires, otherwise
the former would not leak and the latter
would not spark and ignite the gas There
Is always suspicion of electrolysis when
these accidents happen. The decomposi-
tion Of the mains by stray electric cur
rents is followed by serious results, and the
subject demands the closest investigation

Mr.. Gorman's Latest Move.

Mr.. German has changed his key. When
he decided on q special session Of the
Maryland legislature last spring he gave
as his reasOn-speaking Of course through
his Heutenants-the necessity as he saw 1t
of purging the polling lists of the illiterate
and the unworthy. The country smiled,
but he proceeded with his program. His
real purpose was to disfranchise the
negroes, and the scheme brought forward
provided for such juggie in the arrange
ment Of the names on the ballot In each
county as the local partisan election board
might secretly determine. This, however,
failed. The democratic majority in the leg
islature was small, and 1t could not be
polled for so fragrant piece of chfcanery.
The result was such modification Of the
measure as made the arrangement Of the
ballot regular and uniform throughout the
state. Although Mr.. German lost this
point, no sooner had the new law been
passed than his friends pointed to it as an
example of his high purpose and boasted
that it would apply to white and black
alike.
The new law, in the several municipal
elections where it has been tried, has dis
appointed Mr.. Germans expectations.
The republicans have not lost by it. Their
leaders, setting to work at once to prepare
their illiterate voters for the test, have had
gratifying success, and in Baltimore they
swept the city Their illiterates have
proved instructible, and the work of cdu-
cation continues Forced thus to adopt
some other device. Mr.. German now frankly
raises the race issue, and appeals to the
people of Maryland to exclude the negro
from the polls purely because of his color.
1t Is his last card. and upon it's value de-
pends Mr.. Germans political future. II
it wins he will be returned to the United
States Senate. If it loses, he may hope at
most In the event of the reorganization Of
the democratic party for place on the
board of managers Of that party's next
presidential campaign.
Should 1t win? Can any man truthfully
say that the electorate which gave to
Maryland the administration Of Lloyd
Lowndes, and twice enrolled the state In
the national column of sound money and
the public credit, is menace to the states
and foremost. Mr.. Gorman who Is playing
merely selfish political game, and Free
man Rasin, whose manipulation as boss Of
the affairs of the city Of Baltimore was q
stencil In the nostrils of the people of
Maryland for years! Satan clamoring for q
new deal on virtuous lines was ever

bourne's behalf. How strange 1t will be.
indeed, If In this campaign in the Presi-
dents own state, when democratic success
would signify so much, the most eloquent
man in that party. and twice its national
standard-bearer, does not put In an APP
pearance!
The republicans are preparing for a great
effort. They profess to be reasonably con-
fident of success. but they want to roll up
a big majority. And with that end in view
they will play some of their strongest
balance, and he has many friends of prom
inence in his party who will be glad to
visit him and speak for his return to the
Senate. 1t would appear necessary there
fore for the democrats to make an equal
exertion in a campaign of such general
note and consequence.
1t would cost Mr.. Bryan no little to re-
spond to an invitation to visit Ohio this
year. He, could afford to forget that abb
surd performance of trampling on his pic
iture at Columbus, but the way In which
his platform was treated, together with the
Interpretation that has been put on the one
adopted, would haunt him from the hour
OF his arrival. Every speech he made
would virtually be in advocacy of his own
political extinction. But those of his sup
porters in Ohio who take his advice and
support the Kilbourne ticket on the anti
Bryan platform will be contributing to that
end. So why should Mr.. Bryan hesitate to
do what he asks his friends to do?

officials the other day accepted a bid for
garbage disposal outrageously high in the
face of proposals of far more advantage
to the city. Nor are the murmurs of els
content caused by the pay-chair episode
precipitated by. Tammany park COM
missioner yet silenced. The air is
vibrant with the angry disputes in the
machines organization in charge of the
Brooklyn bridge, while the public wonders
just how serious are the defects which
have resulted from the maladministration
of the structure.
These, of course, are but incidents in the
ordinary course of events under Tammany
rule. The people are in a measure accus-
toned to them. They have seen the strong
est possible evidences of official connivance
with vice and crime for years, and have
refused to arouse themselves from their
legarthy save on one spasmodfc occasion
They have witnessed repeated instances Of
the misgovernment of the city, and have
been satisfied to consider them as the nat
ural concomitants of municipal govern
ment They have seen the great bridge
dangerously overloaded to accommodate
traction companies favored OF Tammany
and have taken their chances good-humor-
edy. The convicted wardman stands today
for nothing that the average New Yorker
has not long known, and the bridge and
the garbage contract and the chair incident
all serve to the same end of revealing only
the intimate details of the way In which
the machine runs the city for private
profit. If the normal temper of the me-
tropolis remains unruffied. Mr.. Croker,
