LOCAL DEMOCRATS
NORRIS WILL CONTROL TEMPO
RARY ORGANIZATION
At the Coming dnvA misunderstanding
Given to nsisa ties Today
Mir Contests.

The democratic primary election commits
sion, Mr.. Edwin Seton, chairman, which
has had rather rocky road to travel since
its organization about two months ago. to-
day concluded its work, with the announce
ment that the local democratic convention,
which will be called to order Thursday at
noon, will have as its temporary organiza-
ton eighteen Hearst delegates and twenty
one Norris delegates The time for the fl
ing of protests ended at noon today, when
notice of contest had been filed against
eight districts carried by Norris and one
district carried by Hearst. The returns of
the primaries showed, prima facie, that
Norris carried fifteen districts and Hearst
seven, giving Norris forty-five delegates to
the local convention as compared to TWEEN
ty-one for Hearst. BY the rules of the COM
mission the delegates in each of the con-
tested districts will be denied seats in the
temporary convention, and this deduction
will give Mr.. Norris a majority of three
votes in that body.
AS the temporary organization will select
its chairman by majority VOTE and as the
temporary chairman will be charged with
the appointment Of the committee on ere
dentials, which committee in turn will pass
upon the contests, 1t is only reasonable to
believe that Mr. Norris will maintain his
prestige and power, for the reason that a
committee on credentials, composed of Nor

eide to the disadvantage of their champion.
Consequently the posted politicians inter-
ested in the local conflict are of the opinion
that the permanent convention will find Mr..
Norris in command, with his original forty
fve delegates seated, against twenty-one
for William Randolph Hearst. This will
insure an anti-Hearst delegation to the
democratic national convention, and the
probable selection of Mr.. James L. Norris
as member of the democratic national COM
m1ttee to succeed himself
Credentials Given to Delegate.
The election commission this afternoon is
sued to each of the sixty-six delegates who
were elected according to the returns Of
Thursday last their certificates emitting
them to seats in the local convention.
Where these delegates represent districts
against which contests have been filed that
fact is noted on their certificate ana they
will be denied seats until the committee on
credentials shall have determined their
status. Hearst's New York lieutenants are
working harder now than ever before in an
endeavor to retrieve their crushing and I'M
expected Ito them) defeat of week ago.
1t is understood that all sorts Of argu-
ments are being brought to bear upon some
of the delegates elected on the Norris
ticket to forsake their champion and cast
their lot with Mr.. Hearst Mr.. Kelley,
when advised of these rumors, merely
laughed, and gave assurances that when
the time comes It will be found his men are
all loyal to the regular democracy."

DIFFERENT coLoRED SETTINGS.
For Earrings is Latest Fad - Much
Imitation Jewelry Worn.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Earrings are coming into style again"
was the remark of J. s. Gratz Of Chicago, a
travelling jewelry salesman for over thirty
years. and accounted one of the veterans
OF his trade. II don't think you can say
that they werej really out of STYLE" he
continued. "evenp though in the last few
years the sales. 0f this particular feminine
ornament have been small.
Zone Of the curious ,fads In earrings now
is to have them with different colored set
tings. For instance pearls are great
white one for her right ear and a bia,k
or blush one fer her left. can't at
tempt to explain this. but there IL no ac-
counting for woman's tastes anyway.
Another novelty In the 1ewelry line Just
now is the latest thing in women's wat.,h
chains. These are made with long slender
links of gold. with pearl settings between
the links Pretty expensive? Yes. but that
seems to make them all the moro stylish.
TurQuoises are the thing In necklaces Just
at present. These are even more expen-
sive. but cost has never yet helped to XIII
on fad.
IN bracelets the trade is quiet now, and
This Is the chain bracelet and the plain
band with signet locket In wedding
rings don't think We will ever get away
from the plain gold band, but they are
being made smaller and thinner every year.
ssYou would be surprised at the amount
Of imitation jewelry that is put on the
market every year. and much OF II Is worn
by the richest Of women. No one would
care to believe that they wear anything
but genuine stones. and the clever .nita-
lions fill every want. Far more imitation
jewelry Is being worn than genuine"

HUNTING OCEAN VAMPIRES.
Monster Sometimes Reverses the Role
and Becomes the Hunter.

From the Sunday Magazine
with the possible exception of the bask-
ing shark, the "Sea Devir' or ocean YAM
pre- is the largest Of all the monsters
of the deep. An unborn ocean vampire,
taken from the mother, preserved at the
British Museum, is 8 feet broad, and before
mounting weighed twenty pounds. The
mother measured some Is feet In length
and quite as much In breadth.
1t is at all times a dangerous undertake
ing to attempt to capture one of these
monsters, but particularly so in the case
Of a mother accompanied by her Offspring
She Is quite capable Of reversing the role of
hunter and hunted, attacking and capsiz-
Ing the boat containing her would-be CAP
tors. and of seeing that none of them es-
cape alive.
Imagine" write Mr.. William elliot ia
describing the exciting sport he had in
hunting ocean vampires, "a monster from
10 to 20 feet across the back, full 3 feet in
flaps or wings with which he drives himself
furiously In the water or vaults high In
the air. through which he skins like some
enormous bird; his feelers Commonly
called horns) projecting several feet be-
yond his mouth, and padding all the small
fry that constitute his food into that capa-
cious receptacle-and you will have, an idea,
though an imperfect one of this extraordi-
nary fish,"
The so-called "horns" to which allusion is
made are singular feature in this ant
NAL. The pectoral or breast fins, much
elongated, pointed, arched in fr1,nt, con-
cave behind, stop short at the head, to re-
appear as frontal appendices projected
on each side of the head. These appen-
dages take the form and character of limbs,
being flexible and capable Of grasping prey
and carrying 1t to the mouth. The feel
ers" as they are called are sometimes
three feet or more in length, and are curl
ously articulated at the ends so as to re-
sembie the fingers OF the human hand when
clenched.
In this way fishing boats and vessels of
a muck larger size have been dragged from
their mooring and in some cases capsized

CURED in the harbor of Charleston. A
schooner lying at anchor, suddenly and
seemingly Of its own volition, to the amaze
ment and alarm OF those on board. started
at furious rate across the harbor. Upon
nearing the opposite shore its course
changed SO abruptly as almost to capsixe
the vessel. and 1t recrossed the harbor to
its former mornings.
These mysterious flights across the lar-
Dor were repeated a number Of times In the
presence of hundreds of astonished spec
tators, who were utterly at a loss to ac-
count for the phenomenon. The migrations
ceased as suddenly as they began. Not till
then did the back and undulating fukes
of an immense ocean vampire, appearing
above the water of the harbor. disclose
the motive power that caused 1t all.
One of the curious habits of the fish is to
throw somersaults. sometimes at con-
siderable distance beneath the surface.

Decline of the Graceful Courtesy.

There never was a time when people
were more lacking In grace" said a dancing
master.
"A hostess nowadays" he added, crowds
her drawing room or ball room with large
number of 'undesirables-tha is, people
with no pretence to what is vulgarly called
a stylish manner. The hostess is not to
blame; circumstances compel her to invite
these people. But at one time a hostess
paid as much attention to her guests ac-
complishments In department as to their
character before inviting them to her house.
AT private dance. how seldom one sees
a girl make graceful courtesy to her part
ner! Usually she does no more than nod in
way that looks shockingiy familiar. AS
for the men--well, quarter of a century
ago one saw more masculine grace at
clerks or shop assistants Cinderella than
our best bred men are capable of today!
