likely to be overthrown at any time
when the men formerly potential in
the Democratic organization Of the
state conclude to unhorse him.
Guffey and Pattison got their heads
together and were soon in consultation
with the Wanamaker agents in Phila.
delphia. They issued an edict that the
Philadelphia Democratic county con.
vention must place Rothermel on the
Democratic ticket. and that no terms
or conditions must be exacted from the
insurgent Republicans
THE DEMOCRATS ASSERT THEM.
SELVES.
The Democratic voters went to the
primary elections and elected their
delegates. There was an overwhelm.
ing sentiment in favor of the nomlna-
ton Of straight Democratic ticket.
When the delegates assembled in the
county convention and the ward lead.
ers compared notes they discovered
that they could not check the demand
for straight Democratic ticket and
the outcome was the selection of for
mer Postmaster William wilkins Carr
for district attorney by vote Of 274
for Carr to 1 for Rothermel. Mr.. Carr
is one of the best known and most re.
spected Democrats in Philadelphia. A
prominent Democrat was selected for
each Of the other places on the ticket,
and the convention adjourned.
That very night Pattison resigned
the Craftsmanship of the Democratic
city committee, and the following day
Independent Democratic convention
called to name ticket led by Rother.
mel, and to have put upon it the names
of such Democrats and Republicans as
would be agreed upon by the inde-
pendent Republicans and Pattison's
personal followers.
PATTISON MADE A BLUNDER.
Pattison's course has been roundly
denounced by active Democrats in
every ward in the city. 1t Is conceded
that he has ended his political career
as far as the Democrats Of Philaiel'
phia are concerned. He has placed
himself in the hands of former Judge
Gordon, who 80 bitterly fought Patti
sons election to the mayoralty after
he had received the nomination for
that Office from the Democratic con-
vention. Pattison's statement that he
will start out to form a complete
Democratic organization is ridiculed,
as he could get few Democrats outside
of the pronounced Gordon men to take
part in any such organization. Guffeys
alleged intention to support Pattison
in this move is not taken seriously, as
such play on Guffeys part would lead
to revolution throughout Pennsylvania
against his state leadership. 1t IS
known that Guffey has but slight
hold 1pon the Democratic organization
In his home county Of Allegheny, which
is, at best, but a shell, and he may soon
find that he will be kept busy at home
looking after his own fences and VIII
have little time to work up Demo
cratic annex to the Wanamaker insur'
gent machine in the Quaker City OF
elsewhere.

Csseo Dose
Childhood Of Great Men.

In, a statistical investiga
tion Of the early life of fifty
great men of the present pres
ent century, it was found
that while they are absent
minded, generally speaking,
their memories are very ac
tive in the things they are in
terested in. In childhood they
seem to be more imaginative
than average children. 1t il
generally said that a great
man owes mis- success to his
mothers influence, but there
are many exceptions. They
were Influenced much by some
one person, and the mothers
place was often supplied by
that OF an aunt or relative.
The child born OF parents in
the prime of ply sical life
probably has t h 9 better
chance of greatness, for the
aveage age OF the fathers
when the great man child was
born, was about thirty eight
and that OF the m o t b ers
thirty. The average number
OF children in the ia miles was
six. Eleven of the great men
were only sons, and sixteen
youngest sons; that is in all
over so per- cent. If it is i'm
poltant to study the crimi
nal to find the causes of
crime and thereby know best
how to prevent or lessen it,
it is perhaps more needfnl to
study great men in order to
learn those conditions and
characteristics which makes
them great. Sci.

The Mason and Dixon Line.

Lenoir Topic.
The monuments OF the Ma
son and Dixon boundary line
between Pennsylvania and
Maryland have suffered Sc
verel from the attack OF van.
dals. and will be replaced by
iron markers.
Rapid progress is now be
ing made on the relocation of
the line. The eastern portion
was originally marked by
stone monuments at equal
distances of one mile. Many
of the stones have been re
moved or restored. The wes
tern portion. owing to the
difficulty at that time in the
region ira versed hy the line,
was marked by wooden posts
cut ON the spot, and secured
in place by mounds OF earth
or stone piled around them.
These posts have disappear
ed, but some oi the mounds
remain. Many of them have
been destroyed 10y cultiva
tion of the ground. 1t is be
lieved though that enough OF
them can be recovered to en-
able the relocation of the
boundary with precision.

ture has appropriated ST.

boundary monuments, and
