HAVING FUN WITH KEACH

TREsSING To THE DICTATOR.
The New Precinct Ordinance VIII Not
BE Finally Passed on Before the
Second Week i'm July.

The haste that Is being made slowly by
Edwin d. Logsdon. chairman of the Re-
publican city committee, in rearranging the
precinct boundaries is distressing to one
James Leroy Reach, chairman of the Demo-
cratic city committee. While etiquette
compels him TO remain in the background,
he has been sending friends to Logsdon's
office in the De Soto building to find out
how long it is going to take Logsdon TO
get through. The word brought back to
Reach has not made him feel any happier.
1t will be several days, probably not until
Saturday, before the new precinct oundar-
les are all determined. the descriptions
written out and the ordinance drawn for
presentation to Council. Then a special
meeting of Council will have to be called
for the purpose of introducing the meas
ure and at least another meeting will have
to be had to get it passed. A number of
changes will be made in the original draft
of the ordinance and it will take time to
probable that the precinct ordinance will
be finally passed on before the second
week in July.
Reach Is saying that Logsdon Is purpose-
ly delaying completion of the ordinance in
order to embarrasS him in making the call
for the Democratic city convention. While
Logsdon has not replied. the fact remains
that the job he is occupied in is a monu-
mental one involving a vast deal of tedious
work. All is fair in politics and Logsdon
may not be overworking himself to give
Reach a chance to hold his convention
early. but the job is difficult enough in
itself to take a good deal of time. But
| Logsdon is having a lot OF fun with st.
| James while shaping his task.
Reach says he will wait until the
| ordinance is drawn and passed on before
announcing the date of the convention.

Once upon a time there was a gentle,
sad-eyed stranger who started out to do
New Orleans obviously. This beginning
has the suggestion of one of Mr.. AIDES

day with two cups Of a native beverage
known as dripped coffee. and he felt the

a sazerac cocktail. Then he took another,
and 10, he was organized. The sazerac
cocktail bears the same relation to other
cocktails which the lion sustains to the
sportive and innocent lamb. Its ingredi-
ents are mystery, but there is no un-
certainty as to its results. and it is
warranted to produce a carnival which
renders lustreless the pyrotechnicaI display
of Shrove Tuesday.

w. F. Moore Says People and Papers
Are Using 1t ON Him.
VIM. F. Moore thinks an attempt Is being
made to inJure him by that most effective
weapon, ridicuie. Yesterday he sent out a
circular letter urging Democrats to support
him. The letter follows:
You may not be aware Of 1t, hence 1
take this opportunity to present a fact that
every Democrat should weigh carefully at
this time. You will grant that the principle
of the great Democratic party is of more
Importance than a petty office.
The candidate named by the Democratic
convention will be elected, but there are
three men and two newspapers with large
influence that at this very moment have de-
signs upon the party with a view to the
campaign for President in 1904: these are
now engaged In a systematic effort to
smother my candidacy with the most des-
picable weapon-that of ridicule. / will
leave it to you IL my standing in this COM
munfty ~Justifies the use Of such a nasty
method.
These men and newspapers In the past
have been the party's bitterest enemies, and
for that reason should not at this time be
allowed to name the candidate for mayor
on our ticket, for it would simply be forti-
flying them with a weapon which, be as
sured, would be used against us In the most
trying hour Of the party's need. Such op-
position, then, I hold, should entitle me to
the support Of every right-thinking Demo-
crat."
Moore says he is going to wage an active
campaign and he Is certain Of success.

$500 which was in his hip pocket. Just
then he felt some one feeling in this pocket
and caught one of the women with her
hand on the money. She only succeeded in
getting away with fifty dollars. Olmstead
says he gave them a hard tussel. The

him IL he followed, so he asked the aid of
the police. He had never seen them be-
fore. Bicycle Policemen Trimpe and Lowe

kroner (about S20,S50) for the publica-
ton of the maps made by DR.. Sven
Hedin in his explorations in Central
Asia. The G50O miles covered by him
were mapped in no fewer than 1149
sheets, the position Of 113 points being
liked by astronomical observation. The
character Of the country was further
illustrated by pen and brush sketches
by the explorer and by about 1000 pho
tographs. The grant made by Sweden
will enable him to publish in a fitting
manner a complete history Of his work
and it's scientific results.

A daring jewelry robbery has been
perpetrated in st. Petersburg. A car
riage bearing the arms Of member Of
the imperial family drew up before the
shop Of leading jeweler. and foot
nan wearing a court livery entered the
shop and said that the Grand Duchess
Xenia desired to see q collection Of
Jewels from which she could choose
what pleased her best. The jeweler
packed up jewels to the value of about
E25,0O0 and handed them over to the
domestic to be taken to the grand
duchess. Hours passed without any
reply coming from the palace, and
when the anxious jeweler ventured to
ask what had become Of his jewels he
learned that the grand duchess knew
nothing Of the whole transaction. No
trace of the thieves has been found

The Vampire,

Much has been written in the world
Of fiction about vampires and their
awful doings in the way Of bloodsuck-
ing. AS matter Of fact, there is prac-
tically only one bloodsucking vampire
bat, although there is q smaller one
which connects the common species
with the other members of the family.
The first one, the common bloodsucking
vampire, measures only about three
inches in length, is of reddish-brown
color, and is found from Central Amer
lea to Southern Brazil, on the east,
and in the west as far as Chilli. From
the structure of this bat it is more
than probable that blood actually forms
its entire food.
After a long. heavy sleep all day, this
vampire comes out at night, hovers
about in ghostly fashion until it has
selected its victim, and then sets to
work. In the first place it proceeds
should the animal be woolly or thickly
haired-to carefully shave away the
hair or wool, with the thin part Of the
skin, by its peculiarly sharp upper in
cisor teeth. In this way. the blood
oozes slowly from the small capillary
vessels, when the vampire bat at once
begins to suck and goes on sucking the
blood until it's small body can contain
no more.
Horses, sheep and cattle are often
served I'm this way, and as the oper-
alton apparently causes little or no
pain, the animals are not cognizant Of
what is going on; but should the at
tacks be repeated. they become weak
and thin. and finally become wrecks.
Although this is the only bat which
subsists entirely on blood. it is possible
that occasionally few Of the javelin
bats may vary their ordinary diet in
| this Way,-Collier'S Weekly.

and waists, and are exceedingly erect
i've in the fashionable soft materials
The very smart May Manton waist H.
Illustrated is shown in white crepe de
Chine with yoke and trimming of Vene'

RIGS as we'll as to silks and wools, and
to the odd waist as we'll as the entire
gown.
The waist consists Of the fitted lining
with fronts and back Of the waist
proper. The lining is made to form
the yoke and the waist is shirred at
the upper edge and tucked above the
belt. 1t is gathered at the waist line
and is slightly full over the belt. The
closing Is effected invisibly at the cen.
tire back. The sleeves are shirred at
the shoulders, where they form con.
tinuous lines with the waist, so Civ
ing the desired broad effect, and the
fulness is gathered to form soft full
puffs at the waist.

Climate and Character.

Climate has an undoubted influence
on the character. Persons take from
atmospheric conditions and surround
ings many of their mental attributes;
they seem to absorb into their being
something akin to the climate and
environment. Those born and reared
in a rugged, wild and bleak country
are generally rugged, hardy and stern
themselves, while those brought up in
rich, warm and genial climate and
surroundings are themselves usually Of
generous, easy-goiug nature. The
London Evening Standard, Of recent
date. discusses the subject and says:
In lands Of the sun, where the earth
offers the necessities and luXuries Of
life, almost without labor, man is
sapped of energy, and leads a lotos
existence. No effort is demanded Of
him, and the capacity to do dwindles
within him. He lolls sensuously in the
lap of nature, a materialist and with
out ambition"
A temperate, bracing climate Is the
most healthy both for body and mind.
The strong air imparts force Of char
acter as we'll as power Of limb. No
one is superior to atmospheric condi-
tions; it affects all, though sometimes
unconsciously. Investigations in
schools show that pupils are able to do
their best work when the weather Is
cold, calm and clear. In large factories
it is stated that an unpleasant day
will reduce the output by ten per cent.
Again, continued hot weather invaria-
bly, brings forth crop of crimes Of
passion, while the summer is also the
season most prolific Of suicide. Rain
seems to exert deterrent effect on
crime, and fewer deeds Of violence are
committed on cloudy days than on
bright ones.
Whatever there may be said to the
contrary, the fact is undeniable that
climate influences to q remarkable de-
gree character and conduct.-Medical

Plea For Diagonal Streets.

why are our streets always laid out
so carelessly?" complained an archi-
tect. why is public attention not
called to the sanitary Importance OF the
proper laying out of the streets?
Instead Of our highways pointing,
as they do now, north and south, and
east and west, I should have them
laid diagonally. They should all point
northeast and southwest, northwest
and southeast. And do you know what
the effect of this diagonal arrangement
would be? 1t would cause the sun.
light to fall. at some part Of the day,
all through the year, in every room OF
the house. We know how few are the
houses whose rooms all get the sun
now, and we know how the absence
of the sun-with the consequent damp
ness and mould and dirt-causes much
disease. Why, then. don't we, in our
arranging of new residence sections,
lay out our streets in the proper way?'
