Lightning struck the tent of circus
in Eau Claire, Wis, killing one ele-
plant and injuring two others. The
bolt struck the menagerie tent just be-.
fore 8 o'clock, when about fifty men
and boys were in the tent. Five ele-
plants, dozen ponies, and two men
were knocked over Ella, the trick ele-
plant, got up first and then fell dead.
Barker, the trainer, says she died of
fright. There was heavy rain storm
at the time and almost incessant thun-
der and when the four other elephants
revived they were managed with diff
.ficulty. Ella was eight years old and
was bought from Hagenback The 9TH
er elephants were greatly distressed
and tried to revive the dead one by
slapping her with their trunks. One
poked hay into her mouth.

DEMOCRATIC DEMOCRATS.

That the Democrats of the West are
not the only progressive members of
the party is shown by the platform re-
Gently adopted by the Democratic con-
vention of Cambria County, Pennsyl-
vania 1t pledges the party anew to
the faith of Thomas Jefferson, and
warmly commends the leadership of
William Jennings Bryan in the ad-
vancement of those principles.
On the subject of trusts. it says:
1.-THE Democratic party stands for
equality of rights and demands equal
ity of opportunities. 1t is opposed to
the granting of special privileges to in
dividuals or corporations. 1t there
fore condemns the protective tariff and
demands that taxation shall be for
public revenue only. 1t condemns the
trusts as a monstrous outgrowth of
privilege, and it proposes to destroy
the trusts by the simple device Of
withdrawing from them the benefit of
the laws under which they have es-
tablished and are maintaining monop-
olies. All goods upon the free list;
and every legislative advantage now
conferred upon aggregations of cap
ital should be recovered by the peo-
pie.
Taxation should fall, not upon in
dustry nor upon thrift, but upon spe.
cial privileges; and 1t should be ap-
portioned in accordance with the bene-
fits conferred by the government"
In declaring for home rule in taxa
ton, the platform says: "The tax laws
in this State are framed in iniquity
and administered in corruption. Their
radical reform is the paramount issue
in the State. They promote inequality
and tend to the destruction OF the
poor. They were designed to shift the
burdens from those able to bear them
to those upon whom they fall with
crushing weight. Corporate monopoly
is scandalously favored &c the expense
of the farmer, the merchant, the manu-
facturer and the artisan. The latter
contribute proportionately hundred

Philadelphia capital Is to build a
trolly line to connect Washington, D.
G., with. the famous old-time water
ing place at Point Lookout, on the
north Of the Potomac, where the river
'widens into Chesapeake bay. The air
line distance from the dome of the
capitol to the beach at Point Lookout
Is less than 80 miles, but, because nu-
perous small tributaries must be
avoided, the trolley road will be about
SO miles in length. The company is
capitalized for s1,0OO,O0o In the days
before the war Point Lookout was a
favorite resort. 1t was the ante-bellum
Atlantic City. The hotels along the
beach then ranked as among the finest
on the seaboard. Congressman and
senators, ambassadors, and even presi-
dents, sought relief from official cares
at this ideal place, which was a win
ter resort as well.

DARING EFFECTS IN FURNISHINGS.

STRANGE PROFESSIONS ADOPTED

endeavor.

Women bread winners have chosen
strange careers for themselves in vari-
GUS parts of the earth. Their example
may inspire others, if not to adopt
like professions, to act upon the prin-
ciple which guided them to choose the
one thing they could do that was near
at hand.
For example, in Georgia a woman
not only personally delivers mail over
a 4O-mile route, riding over the scant-
lily settled region of Montgomery coun-
ty thrice weekly during the entire
year, but manages large farm as
we'll, doing much Of the manual la
Dor, such as ploughing, narrowing,
sowing and harvesting, and supports
by her energy and courage family of
four, relates the Utica Observer.

WHO MAKES THE CR1M1NALsq

l do not think there is such a thing
as crime, as used in the ordinary
sense. These men in jails are not
criminals. They are men who have
found themselves in that position
where all opportunities of obtaining
subsistence in an honest way, are
closed to them. They are forced to
reach out for something to sustain
life. of which they have been deprived
in community were few men con-
troll everything.
Every time the trusts in Chicago
raise the price of meat, they send a
certain number of poor people to the
penitentiaries and jails. Every time
they raise the price of oil, they turn
numbers of poor girls from honest la
Dor out upon the streets. The men.
who cause this ruin are the only ones
who can be, guilty of real crime and
a crime that is worth considering.

vALeE OF OLD MAIDS.

Certain lives seem destined to ex-
ercise the noblest self-control and the
most surprising self-effacement with
out adequate acknowledgment, says
the New York Evening Post. The po-
sition is anomalous; the inclination
set aside is only known to the heart
which never permitted itself to speak
its wish aloud and the work would
fall from its high level Of human en-
deavor II performed in the light Of
day, where it could be praised Of
men,"
In many a home, that woman of va
ried endowment. the maiden aunt,
plays her quiet role of unrecorded and
most valuable service, and her bene-
ficiaries are scarcely aware of her sac
rifce Of time or personal enjoyment
or Of the check she has to put to her
individual preferences or opinions in
order to carry out the family rule.
which often she does not approve or
sympathize with. She is ever ready
to take the helm when illness or alb
sence forces the heads of the home to
yield it to other hands.
Her Charities.
II she has an independent income,
this boy goes to college. and that girl
REEVES the musical education for
which she longs. Too often, even In
grateful young hearts, no inquiry is
made as to what might have come to
her single, and in some ways, lonely
life, had she used the money to graft
fy herself. She is dear and good and
generous-they fully understand that;
but where she would have travelled,
what she would have taken delight in
possessing-books, pictures, home
which was her very own, in which to
express herself-they do not think or
dream of these. How could she be
happier than she Is?
Beside sickbed she keeps her close
and tender watch, and when the moth
er, refreshed by sleep, made beneficial
by her perfect trust in the care which
supplements her own, returns to her
post, she sees with unjealous eyes the
Joy with which the patient welcomes
back the best-beloved. Never to be
the bestowed, and yet gladly and
cheerfully to fill all the offices in
which many brave and high-hearted
woman serves her family, calls forth
the very highest type of character and
belongs to the noblest class Of human
endeavor.

LABOR s ONLY REMEDY.

II the men now on strike will use
some of their leisure to consider the
odds against them, they will see that
no small part of the power of their en-
emies is derived from or supported by
their political influence, This trust
has tremendous authority in all official
circles. 1t was not mere accident that
led to the selection of former attor-
ney of the Carnegie company as attor-
ney general of the United States. The
utter failure of successive attorneys
general for the past twelve years to
put the federal antitrust law to the
test has not been without deliberate
action to that end by the trusts-for,
mark you, all trusts are as one when
the purpose to control the government
is concerned. When six years ago the
Democratic party in fierce revolt
against the subservience of its leaders
to monopoly, declared war on trusts,
the trust magnates who had been In its
organization deserted it to a man.
They are still out, and will be out SO
long as the party as whole opposes
trusts. Sometimes they try to come
back-as in Ohio-but only in hope
that once readmitted they can turn the
party again to the service of plutoc-
racy. We use the Democratic party
merely for the sake of illustration. If
the Republican party should throw off
the yoke Of the plutocrats and return
to the principles of Lincoln, we should
find the well-organized army Of trusts
fighting it as they now fight for it.
The trusts, with all their myriads of
hangers-on, are in politics just as much
as Croker or Quay.-Pilgrim.

REVIVAL OF A ROMAN SCHEME.

A great scheme, which at one time
fired the imagination of the Romans,
and then was allowed to drop, is now
about to be revived in a modified fern.
Eleanora Duse. the actress, and Ga
brielle d'Annunzio the famous writer,
were the moving spirits in project
to erect on the shores OF the Lake OF
Albano, above Rome, great tragic
theater, to be opened few months
each spring for the reproduction O.
ancient Greek and Roman plays, says
the London Daily Telegraph. What
spot more inspiring than that classic
ground, little changed since it was
trod by the feet Of Cicero and Virgil,
and what surroundings more perfect
for inspiration than the oaks under
which these great men sat and the lake
on which they floated?
