A SEPARATE BATTLE-GROUND.

Why is it that Republican leaders
have made New York a separate bat
tie ground? Chairman Cortelyou isn't
to have command there. Gov. Odell
has been given fun charge of the cam
paign in that state, and is to be held
responsible if he suffers a defeat.
This looks as If the President hadn't
much confidence in his ability to carry
New York. Chairman Cortelyou seems
glad to get the state off his hands. 1t
is said he told the President If Gov.
Odell, with the machine he controls,
couldn't carry the state there wasn't
any agency that could carry it for the
Republican ticket.
And it wouldn't be surprising if
Chairman Taggart shouldn't give
much of his time to New York. A
great political battle is to be fought
there, in which political machines will
play an important part. What is more
natural than that New Workers should
be in control of these machines-Gov.
Odell for the Republicans and William
f. Sheehan, chairman of the National
Executive Committee. for the Demo-
Gratis.
Just now Mr.. Sheehan is putting
forth his best efforts to adjust the
Murphy McCarren difficulty. The Tam
manyites insist that McCarren shall
he taken from the craftsmanship of the
State Executive Committee. There
seems to be an intimation that the size
of the Democratic majority in New
York city will depend upon compliance
with Tammany's desire i'm this matter
The situation presents difficulties, since
both McCarren and Murphy are very
firm in maintaining their respective
positions. It is evident that each is
more anxious to triumph in local poll
tics than he is for the success of the
national ticket of his party. 1t is ex-
pected some arrangement will be eff
fected this week by which Murphy
and McCarren will postpone their To-
cal fight until after the presidential
election, though but little progress in
that direction has yet been made.

why bishops Make Him Laugh.

Marcel Provost. the French novelist,
is favorite in the American colony of
Paris, says the New York Tribune.
whenever 1 see an English bishop"
said Nj. Provost at an American dinner
party Il laugh a little to myself, for
the good mans stately presence re-
minds me of a terrible mishap that
once befell me.
Il entertained certain bishop last
year at dinner Ny butler, an elderly
house, an inexperienced lad to help him
in the dining room, and it seems that
this lad during the laying of the cloth
annoyed the butler beyond endurance
with questions as to his duties.
How shall l hold the plates?
DO l serve the dishes on the right
or on the left side of the guests?'
Must the bishop be served first or
second?"
80 he continued interminably, and
at last the impatient butler said:
All you will need to do will be to
stand behind the bishops chair and
whenever his lordship puts down his
glass you must reach over and wipe
his mouth with a napkin
THAT, as the butler expected, 81
fenced his assistant. But the young
man actually took the buffers ironical
remark for a serious order. AS soon
as dinner began he stationed himself
behind the bishop, waited till his lord
ship had drunk and put down his glass,
and then, as deliberately as his nerv-
BUSINESS would permit he opened out a
large napkin and wiped the dignifled
old gentlemans mouth.
Imagine my horror"

Brig. Gen. George II. Harries of the
District of Columbia militia was for
many years an active newspaper work
er at the capital, says the Saturday
Evening Post. Some years ago, when
a Senate investigating committee was
trying to ascertain who gave the press
information concerning their executive
sessions, George Harries entered a
committee room where Senator Faux
ner of West Virginia and Senator Bate
of Tennessee were discussing the ques-
ton, and Senator Faulkner said: "Har-
ries, l wish you would frankly tell
me how you newspaper fellows get in
formation concerning the transaction
of our secret sessions"
After moment of reflection Harries
replied; Il should have no objection to
telling you if l knew you were au-
thorized to receive the information"
Then why don't you tell the COM
mittee?" inquired Senator Faulkner.
rs the committee properly constitut-
ed and duly authorized to receive such
information, SENATOR,
"Of course it is"
How do you make that out?
why, it was constituted by the SEN
ate in the regular way, under the
Dolph resolution replied Senator
Faulkner. he luen went OH 10 give
every detail of the manner in which
the Senate, in executive session, dis
cussed and adopted the resolution;
how the committee was constituted and
that it was empowered to make the in
vestigation. When the Senator had
concluded Mr.. Harries said:
"Well, Senator Faulkner, that is the
way We newspaper fellows get our in
formation concerning all of the details
of the proceedings of the secret execu-
tive sessions of the Senate"
Senator Faulkner did not catch the
full significance of Harries' remark
until Senator Bate quietly and good
humoredly said: Faulkner If every
senator were as easy to pump as you
are, we might as well hold our secret
sessions on the portico.'

There seems no longer reason for
doubling that Gen. Kuropatkin's line
Of retreat to the north has been cross
ed by a Japanese army numbering
some 100000 men. Communication
with his base at Lao Yang has been
destroyed, and the enemy is between
him and the base at Mukden. So far
as the information goes, Kuropatkin
has with him not more than $4,000 men,
and he and they are between two Jap
anese armies, one of 100000 and one
of $4,000, that are operating together
with perfect understanding of what
each is doing. If that is the situation,
and the dispatches all tend TO show
that it is, the peril of Kuropatkin's
position is acute. His troops are
greatly outnumbered and are dispir-
tied because of the repeated reverses
they have suffered, while the Japan
csc, in greater numbers and just as
good fighters as the Russians, are cor
respondingly enthusiastic. Should Ku-
ropatkin succeed in extricating him
self from the trap into which he has
apparently been caught. he would
prove himself a general of exceptional
brilliancy.

During the early part of July young
man named Beck, residing in New Jer-
sey, attempted to kill himself with a
revolver. He sent a bullet crashing
into his brain, the bullet entering the
right temple, traversing the brain and
lodging under the skin on the opposite
SIDE of the head. But the young man
isn't dead. He is rapidly recovering,
in hospital, and in a few days will
be discharged. The doctors say the
wound should have produced instant
death, and they can't understand why
it didn't.

Plneiarism That heats the Record.

A friend of the late Bishop Hunting
ton was spending a Sunday in Edin-
burgh, and followed the crowd to the
church of celebrated preacher. At
the close of the service he said to the
clergyman: THAT was A remarkably
fine sermon" The minister, puffed with
pride, said: THANK you, thank you
But" said the Boston man. "I have
heard it before; it is one of Bishop
Huntington's sermons" "Ah, yes;
dare say, to be sure; but Huntington
could never have gotten It off as
did" The anecdote is related by the
Congregationalist, whose only comment
is that for consistent and unblush-
ing plagiarism this beats the record"

The primary campaign in South Car
DINA is drawing to a close. 1t has
been dull and spiritless. There is no
issue before the people to stir them up.
Only one office, that of railroad COM

sum of argument advanced by the can
didates for that place is, 81 want the

needless. but the Carolinians would feel
that something was wrong if the can
didates did not come around and make
stump speeches to them at least once in
two years.

THE LANGUAGE OF ANIMALS.

The time may not be far distant
when the student of languages can
include in his accomplishments a
lower animals. That animals are cap
able of conveying from one to another
of their own kind intelligent ideas
cannot be doubted. Prof. r. L. Gar
ner has been studying the monkey Ian
guage for several years and has made
one or more trips to Africa for the
purpose. He asserts that the mon
keys have quite vocabulary. for mon
keys, and claims that he can carry
on limited conversation with a simian
in it's own tongue.
Following along the lines of Prof.
Gamers investigation, a Kansas pro-
fessor has taken UP the study of the
cat language. He employs a phono-
graph in his work and has made a
number of records of cat voices. That
there is practically a universal cat Ian
guage he thinks is shown by the fact
that when record is put into the ma
chine and the metallic voice addresses
a living cat, the cat will reply in
manner indicating that 1t understands.
A mother cat is alleged to have recog-
nzed the voice of one of its offspring
and spent many minutes trying to find
a way into the instrument to bring
it away. The Kansas man says his
experiments have not progressed far
as yet, but he has learned enough to
make him hopeful. He may not be
able to ascertain what pussy is say
ing to herself as she phrrs before the
fire, or what message she means to
convey to her mistress when she purrs
in her lap, but he is sure that he
will be able to ascertain what the
various familiar sounds made by cats
mean, and what emotions they are in
tended to express. The cat has al
ways been regarded as a treacherous,
spiteful animal. Maybe when we have
unlocked the secret of her language
she will be able to vindicate herself
in our judgment and prove that she
has been maligned. Still, we are in
clined to the opinion that there are
certain expressions in those back fence
conversations, solos and Duets that,
when interpreted, would not look well
in print. We humans cannot now tell
what the cats are saying to each
other, but for ferceness of invective
we are sure there is nothing in the
animal language that can compare
with the persifage of two rivals Toms
in a back yard of a summer night.
Now some other professor might do
we'll to take up and study dog Ian
guage. There. indeed, is an animal
worth while studying. and there can
be no doubt that the dog would en-
Joy it as we'll as the man. The in
telligent dog always enters heartily
into the enterprises of his master.
hence there is reason to think he
would be highly pleased to have the
master come to school TO him. The
dog, too, is probably capable of more
and higher emotions than either cat
or a monkey, being a more intelligent
animal. There are owners of dogs
who will aver that they can come
pretty nearly to talking in human Ian
guage. and they are doubtless right.
Everybody knows that a dog can be
trained to understand human speech
TO very considerable extent Why,
then, is it not possible, and highly de-
slrable. to have the human understand
the dogs language to a greater extent
than at present.
