Gov. Click SAYS Emblem 4. q. K

Atchison, May 9s.-Ex-Gov. George
w. Click, chairman of the late Demo
cratic state convention, said
Republican papers are having a
good deal to say about the failure of
the convantion to agree on an emblem.
The matter was discussed and promi-
nent lawyers held that an emblem
should not be decided on until the
eicllet was complete. The Democratic
state convention adjourned to meet at
Topeka June "a, when the ticket will
be completed and an emblem adopted,
adept an emblem was not an over
sipht."

thing that lie should die by an instru-

that when he produced his instrument

Missin. Coronation Oath.

Strange things happen in the world in spite of the best-laid plans of men, but nothing more curious has hap pened in connection with the crown ing of our kings than the mislaying of the coronation oath at the coronation of William ". When the moment ar rived for the king to swear to govern the people lawfully, the copy of the oath which had been specially pre- pared for his use, was missing from the altar, where it should have been placed, and the only way out of the dilemma was for the king to sign the oath printedin the book containing the order of the service. The fact that he did so is recorded in an interesting note by the primate of the time, which is historic as explaining remarkable omission in the coronation roll which is stored somewhere in the national archives. The book in which King William signed his name is still to be seen in the manuscript library at Lam beth palace.-St. James Gazette.

The recent action of the Spanish government in paying certain sums due the United States into the treas ury department is being commented upon in official circles as a rather ex- ceptional instance of international honesty. About ISIS Spain seized certain American merchant vessels and subsequently a court of arbitra- tion awarded damages to the United States. These damages were pay able in the form of a perpetual annu- ity. According to International law, war ends ali treaties and therefore Spain was relieved from further legal obligations by the late war. Neyerthe- less, she has just paid to the treas ury the sum of $2S.50O and has signi- fled her intention of carrying out her contract to the letter.

The nenfh of sleen.

When a person slumbers so soundly that he can with difficulty be awaken ed, we are accustomed to say he is in a "deep sleep" An attempt to measure the depth of sleep, in this. sense, has recently been made by Dr. Sante de Sanctis, in Rome, with the aid of spe- cially designed instrument which prods the sleeper with more or less sharp point. The doctor has drawn curves showing the relative depth of sleep in different subjects, and in the same subject after being allowed to sleep for different lengths of time. It appears that there are certain times during sleep when waking becomes easier, and practical application of this result of the experiment is sug- gested in the adjustment of the time of morning rising to natural period of minimum in the depth of.each sleep CTS sleep. outh's Companion.

Lieutenant Commander John R. Ed wards, U. s. N., has just made re port to the secretary of war on cer- tain experiments which he has been conducting in the Washington navy yard to ascertain the comparative fuel value of coal and crude oil. He states that the fuel value of the oil, pound for pound, is greater. He adds, how ever, that although fourteen patent burners for oil have been tried, none proved satisfactory, although it is req sonable to assume that inventors will soon supply the demand for satisfac- tory apparatus. He states that, from a military standpoint, the rapidity with which steam can be produced from oil is a decided advantage, and on the other hand, the fact that United States naval vessels would have diffi- culty in replenishing their fuel sup plies in foreign countries would prove disadvantage.

That speech of Candidate Cary's at New Haven the other evening was to the republican editors of the state like shaking a red rag before the eyes of an infuriated bull. It has thrown several Of them into towering rage, and they will hardly recover until after November 4th. It was a tell ing stroke or these men would not have paid much attention to it. MT Cary talked plainly to those editors who have been talking fiippantly about his book, and informed them that he is primed to the neck with good, hard facts to back up all of his statements. His handling of the trusts and those who are responsible for our present condition was clean cut, and that is another reason why the republican pa pers have already commenced to throw mud at him: The tarim also came in for share Of his argument.

The appeals of the Boer Generals, Botha, De Wet and De La Rey, to the civilized world in behalf of Eng lands victims in South Africa, does not please the English press. The ap- peal is regarded as an impeachment of England for failing to assist in a generous spirit in the work of repair ing the raVages of a war which was brought on by England's unsuitable land hunger, says an exchange The appeal of the Boer generals thus set forth the present state of things i'll South Africa: ''The small Boer nation can never forget the help it received i'll it's dark hours Of suffering. Our people are completely ruined It has been impossible to make q complete inventory, but we are convinced that at least 30.000 houses on Boer farms and many villages were burned or destroyed by the British during the war.

It can be readily understood why the English press is annoyed by the ex- posture of the shabby treatment the Boers have received from England.

MARRIED AT MIDNIGHT.
New Jersey Policeman, Sympathetic Justice and ObIiging JeweIer
 Help Brooklyn Runaways.

Policeman Flanagan, of Jersey City, was halted on Grove street at II o'clock the other night by a we'll dressed young couple, who at first app peared somewhat embarrassed.
 What is the matter?" asked the of ficer.
 ''Well," said the young man, sWe want to find minister or a justice of the peace. Can you direct us to one? !? The fact is,'' he added, becoming bold CT after the ice had been broken, Sws wish to get married and the ceremony must be performed tonight
 Flanagan said that lie thought Capt. John Kelly could arrange the matter. He escorted the couple to the Seventh street police station and sent for Jus tice Martin D. Kelly. When he was told why his services were needed and that it would be necessary for him to provide witnesses, he called on Arthur McGraw and Miss Fanny Ludwig, two neighbors, who accompanied him to the police station.
 Justice Kelly was about to perform the ceremony when it was discovered that the prospective bridegroom had failed to provide himself with a ring. Having taken the measure of the brides finger, Capt. Kelly sent an of fcer to arouse a jeweler on Payonia avenue and the ring was secured with little delay. After that the ceremony was quickly performed.
 The bridegroom said he was Francis B. Riker, of Brooklyn, and the bride described herself as Ada M. Dunn, 22 years o1d,. also of Brooklyn, employed as stenographer by a New York firm. They said Miss Dunn's parents object ed to her marrying on the ground that she was too young. MT. Riker said he and Miss Dunn talked the matter over and finally concluded to go to Jersey City and be married. They had little doubt that the brides parents would forgive her.

 The price of bread is to be affected by the increased price of coal, it seems. We should think it would be difficult to divide the cost among many loayes and be fair about it. So the bakers probably will not be par ticular if they make a little extra profit.-NeW Haven Union.
 The Wall street idea of the settlement of the coal strike is that there will be permanent advance of at least fifty cents per ton over the price of anthracite coal which prevail ed before the strike, of which increase 15 cents will go to the miners.

 An interesting feature of the meeting, and ill some respect its most significant feature, were the remarks of MT Cary the candidate for govern or with regard to the comments con- l tained in his book upon the character of Connecticut government. This work has been before the people of the state for nearly two years and been exhaustively reviewed in republican as well as democratic newspapers without in single instance prOvok- l ing the charge that he was traducer of his state. There have been excep- ! tions taken to some of his deductions and others have contended that he took an exaggerated view of the evils of which he complains but no one ever thought of holding him ID to scorn as a traducer of his state until he became a candidate for office. We I therefore conclude that the real of fense he has given consists in an ac-
 ceptance of political nomination. l New Haven Register.

MANILA, Oct 13.-The sultan of Bacolod, Mindanao, has rejected the friendly overtures of General Sumner, commander of the American forces on Mindanao, in defiant letter, in which he invites war. The sultan says:
 "The sultan of BacolOd desires war forthwith. He wishes to maintain the religion of Mohammed. Cease sending letters. What we want is war. We do not desire your friendship"
 Friendly Moros report that the sul- tan of Bacolod is fortifying his strong holds. He is in possession of many ri fes. It is expected that an American column will be sent from Camp Wears to capture and reduce the Bacolod strongholds. It has not been decided when the move is to be made.
 Counterfeit American silver dollars are being made in China and circulat- ed here extensively. The suspicion is held that some of this money was shipped from San Francisco. The dol lars are of silver and of standard weight. They have been detected through the improper stamping of the word Liberty on the goddess.
