hours. the principal address being by
Hon. John ]. Lentz. Rev. August

his speech, said he was In entire sym
pathy with the intent Of the meeting,
eulogized the fighting South African
farmers and urged them to continue
the struggle. He said he was glad the
war had cost England so dearly, and
that the disastrous cost in money and
life would be much-needed lesson for
the English government, because 1t
would teach and had already taught
lesson that will not be soon forgotten.
Mr.. Bryan said he considered It dis
grace that no official expression of
sympathy had yet been made by this
government.
Mayor Johnson also spoke briefly,
and said he was in full sympathy with
the intent OF the meeting, and ex-
pressed sentiments similar to those
expressed by Mr.. Bryan. A resolution
of great length was passed and will
be sent to the president of the United
States. The resolution calls the atten-
tion of the president to the cont,nu-
ance Of the war for the past two years,
and states that 1t has been character
lied. on the part of the British, as
conflict OF savagery, by the confisca-
ton or destruction Of property OF in
habitants and noncombatants lying
within the zone OF war. Attention is
called to the denunciation by Presi-
dent Mckinley Of the system OF recon-
centrado camps. The president is
asked to enforce the treaty of Wash
ington, May 8, 1871, denying to vessels
operating under British authority op-
portunity for the augmentation OF sup
plies Of war from the United States.

the duel fought at Jena, in the duchy
OF Sake Weimar-E -Eisenach, in which
Lieutenant Theme, Of the Ninety
fourth regiment, killed a student Of
Halle university named Held, by
shooting him through the heart, are
producing deep sensation throughout
Germany. Lieutenant Theme is the
best pistol shot of his regiment, and
pistols were selected by the court Of
honor, composed exclusively of army
officers, Notwithstanding the fact that
the student societies proposed the use
of sabres. The court of honor stipu-
lated that five shots be exchanged be.
tween the duellists, consequently Held
had little chance of escaping. He was
killed at the third exchange of shots.
The duel resulted from party of
students having jostled some army Of

the students and he slapped the face
of Lieutenant Theme, who was in

SUPERINTENDENT's SALARY.

To the Editor of the Democrat:

 To the Editor of the Democrat.
 1 suppose the question of fixing the salaries of the superintendent of poor and the clerk of the board of chari- ties will come before the board of aldermen for action this evening. As a democrat and believe; i'll ecoEo- my, I was somewhat Da.ned at the attitude of Alderman Brophy of the fourth ward on this question of sal aries. l would like to draw Ge all derman's attention to the fact that his brorLtr republican aldermen arc finding no fault with the salary of Judge Burpee of the city court, which Is $2,000 per year for fifteen minute sessions three or four days a week, or the salary of Harold Durant, pros ecuting attorney, at $1,500 a year, or the salary of Clerk F. J McMahon of the city court, at $1,000 per year. The records of the city court will show that the time occupied by the court officials is very small and per mits them to devote nearly all of their time to private business. If I am informed correctly, the superin- fendent of poor and clerk of the board Of charities will be expected to de- vote their entire time and attention to the duties of their respective of hces, As q taxpayer, I believe in giving liberal salaries, appointing honest and trustworthy officials. ex- pecting that they will do their full huty when so compensated. MT Doran can save the city hundreds of dollars annually if he is so inclined usually man well paid is we'll in- clined.

DEMOCRATS AT DINNER.
Leaders of the Party Attend a Tilden
 Banuuet in New York.

Leaders of the Party Attend a Tilden
 Banquet in New York.
 New York, Feb 17.-The Brooklyn Democratic club held a Tilden dinner in the Germania club house Saturday night. Lewis Nixon was present and was cheered as the new Tammany leader. The speakers were w. Bourke Cochran, ex-Governor Robert l.. Patti son of Pennsylvania, Congressman David E. DeArmond of Missouri, Lewis Nixon, Edward NJ. Shepard and others. Letters of regret were read from ex- President Grover Cleveland, ex-Sena- tor David B. Hill. x-Secretary David B. Hill, ex-Secretary Richard Olney, ex-Attorney General Judson Harmon w. J. Bryan and Hugh Mclaughlin.
 The keynote of the speeches was for united party. Mir Cochran reused his hearers to a high state of enthusi- asm by telling of the future of the democracy.
 In the course of his speech he said: If the democracy is to win in 1902, it must accept the lesson taught by Til den's leadership ill 1874. The men who supported tie populist alliance and those who rejected it. those who voted for Bryan, for Palmer or for McKin- ley, must set their backs on the ques- tions now past and settled, concerning which the party was recently divided. and set their faces resolutely to the great questions which confront them and on which they are practically unanimous. It would be worse than idle now to demand q recantation of any mans views on questions which are no longer in issue, which have been settled. It would be, of course, un- profitable and impractical to suggest that democrats close their eyes to ac- tual differences, but differences which are past belong to history, not to poli- tics"
 The harmony program from the na- tional standpoint was outlined by ex- Governor Pattison. He spoke of the military subjection in which, he said, the people of the Philippines were be- ing held in the republican party, and he declared it was a worse slavery of S,O00000 than that abolished by Presi- dent Lincoln of 100000 people Gov ernor Pattison said that he was sur prised on arriving in New York to find that the republicans had so arranged that after March 1 even the torch on the top of the statue of Liberty in New York harbor was no longer to shine as beacon light of liberty and free dom
 Congressman David E. De Armond Of Missouri made a speech in which he declared that the followers of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms could go to work with all other demo- crats and work without dissensions for the good of the common cause. Con- gressman De Armond said that the re- publican party, he believed, was wrong on all the national questions. and that the democratic party was right.
 It is said that one of the objects of the dinner was to boom Edward NJ. Shepard for governor or state leader. according to the requirements of the situation few months hence. The de sire also was to take Mir Shepard from the ranks of local politicians and have him known as a man of national repu- tation.

Conveying Light Dy Glass Rods.

Prof. Becker, of the Glasgow observa- tory, has devised simple and ingen- ious plan for conveying light to gradu- ated circles at the point where they are to be read with the aid of an at tached microscope. It is desirable not to bring the source of light near the circles, on account of the heat, and So Prof. Becker sends the light through a solid glass rod, letting it shine in at one end. and emerge atthe other. The light cannot escape from the sides of the rod owing to internal reflection, and accordingly it is carried and deliy- cred very much like water in tube. Even when bent the glass rod does not lose it's harge.-Science.

Saints Powder Recipe.

In Germany and Italy great honor Is
paid to st. Barbara, but until now no
II has been able to discover the exact
reason.
A German officer says that she is
honored because the invention of pow
der is in a large measure due to her.
Berthold Schwarz, a monk, he ex-
plains, opened the "Lives Of the Saints"
on st. Barbara s day and read the
story of her martyrdom, after which
he reasoned as follows:
"The heart of the Virgin was white
as salt, the soul Of her tormentor was
black as coal. and it was sulphur from
heaven which punished him for his
cruelty. l will mix these three things,
and it will be Il wonder If \ do not dis.
cover the philosophers stone"
He did mix them, and as soon as he
put the mixture in a fire a tremendous
explosion followed. Such, according tc
German soldiers, was the origin OF
gunpowder.
