The Path to Success.
The Democratic Party Must Re.
turn 10 Cleveland or Again Meet
Defeat.

"Sav"yard," )" Writing from
Washington to louisville Post. |
The Democratic party has got
to take the road pointed out by
Grover Cleveland or the read
pointeo, out bv William Jennings
Bryan. Il has exhausted even it's
capacity to play the damphool-
surely it CAT do that any more.
There is no middle ground, though
Dave Hill is trying to discover
some. 1t is not to he fou nd. The
events of the past few days have
knocked the trottsrs from under
the get-together squad. Either
Clevelandism will destroy Bry-
auism or Organism will destroy
Clevelandlsm. Both cannot exist
in one party. That Is certein. 1t
is folly tn suppose that men who
believe 10 Cleveland will ever fuse
with the men who have faith in
Bryan. The conflict between
them is irrecondlable. They are
as far apart as the east is from
the west, as truth is from error.
1t is not desirable that they get to-
gether. They would never agree.
That was a grand speech Grover
Cleveland made at the Tilden Club
inauguration. When a splendid
mastiff comes into village discor-
dant howls como up from all
quarters. Mongrel, puppy, whelp
and hound and ours of low degree
resent his presence. They are in
the front yard and back yard,
very noisy and not at all danger
Gus. 1t is the tribute envy pays to
greatness. All great men expert
ence it, and Mr.. Cleveland has
had his full share. He is the
most illustrlous living American.
He has occupied the highest solit-
ical station on earth. As presi-
dent of the United States he was
the most commanding figure since
Andrew Jackson. Under his lead
ershio the Democracy gained two
national victories and Connecti-
cut, New York New, Jersey, In
diana, Illinois. Wisconsin, Call
ifornia and the solid South we're
Democratic. Ohio and Michigan
were partly Democratic, and other
Northern States were debatable.
If the Democratic party is to live
it must turn to Cleveland and in
express terms renou nee Organism.

A whales Sweet, Perfume

Writing on Animal Perfumes and Their
Origin, in knowledge, Mr. r. Lydekker
makes the following observation regard
ing ambergris:
"Ambergris is generally found floating
on the surface Of the sea. and very dir
ferent ideas have been entertained as to
its nature and origin. IL appears, how
ever. that so early as the middle of the
sixteenth century il was known to have
some connection with whales. although
the nature Of this connection was not
fully realized. one writer, for instance in
describing d sperm what stranded on tho
Norfolk coast. expresses his surprise 1t
not finding ambergris i'm its stomach Al
though the idea that ambergris is swal-
lowed by the sperm whale IS erroneous.
the writer in question was quite correct in
regarding that substance as pertaining
10 this particular species Of cetacean. The
fact that IL contains the horny beaks of
suuids and cuttles belonging TO species
that form the food OF the gigantic sperm
whale. or cachelot Thy far the largest of
the cetacesns furnished with teeth is
alone sufficient TO indicate that il is
product of that monster. And from time
70 time it Is actually found in the
slimentary canal OF that whale. IL ap-
pears. indeed. 10 be a hillary cOncretion.
CLOSELY analogous in its nature To bezoar
stones. and due TO the existence of disease
ia the individuals in which il occurs. In
place. therefore, OF being found only i'm
old and strong specimens, II Is generally
az least met with rather in those IN poor
condition or which have died natural
death. When first taken from the sperm
whales interior ambergris is a soft,
greasy substance. eXhailing an exceeding
" disagTeeable OdOr; and il is only after
exposure 10 the air that it hardens and
ACQUIRES its characteristic aroma. which
is described as being sweet and earthly

People go for a sun bath on a bright

coats, stretch themselves fun length on
the beach and let the sun shine on

are many bathers.
Besides deer quail duck. snipe and
woodcOck. there are English pheasants
on the island. These are Matched from
pheasant eggs by chickens and remain
under the mother hens care until the
aStonished fowl sees her young flying

club was organized.
The price paid for the island was
$4,000 cash and $4,000 in twenty-year

numbered 100 and the club was or
ganized with fifty members. with two
shares each at $500. The last share
