F. B. Doran is another man whom
the committee has settled upon as a
possible winner. While he is personally
distasteful to members of the commit
tee. a majority has picked him as a
winner and he is being touted as a
good thing and will be supported ac-
cordingly. Herbert P. Keller is strong
with the youngsters, for he is young
ster himself, and he has the support
of the bunch for the assembly. Hub"
Schurmeier and sid" Reeves are also
considered as possibilities. They are
still right with the committee, while
the other five men on the assembly
ticket have be Il thrown to the winds
and their friends are being urged to
forget them and work hard for the
elect on the ticket. The committee has
a couple of aldermen who are also
looked on with favor, not from per-
Sonal grounds, but simply for reasons
of their availability as possible winners

the only question is the size of Mayor

candidates for the assembly will re-
ce1ve large vote, for the assembly
ticket is admittedly the strongest and
pest ever put forward by the Demo-
Gratis, but the vote which Mayor Smith
is sure to receive will carry with him
into office practically every candidate

There are two or three hot alder
manic fights in the wards, but aside
from these there is absolutely no doubt
OF the election of every Democratic
candidate for the aldermanic body.
Sizing up the whole situation, the
chances for Democratic success are so
strong that 1T is not sure that the word
chance is not misnomer.

Are the veddahs the Missing Link

There is probably no race on earth
lower in the scale of civilization than
the rock Veddahs" of Ceylon. Yet
they can hardly be called savages. for
they are mild and gentle people. They
live in a civilized British colony much
like the apes of the forest.
They live in the deepest recesses of
the Jungle. avoiding all contact with
the English tea-planters and the civil
liked natives, and seek shelter in the
rocks-whence their name of rock
Veddahs"-or in the branches of trees.
Although their diet principally con-
sists of fruits and roots. they will eat
carrion, vermin, bats, and owls with
relish. Yet they will not touch the
flesh of the wild animals, which roam
in the forests
Their language Is limited to a few
words" said Professor Ricalton, an
American traveller who recently visited
these strange people. Indeed. they
scarcely have any language, and they
communicate largely by grimaces and
cultural signs"
They have no idea of time or dis
tance, no name for days or hours or
years They have no games. no
amusement, no music. no education.
They are unable to count, even on their
fingers. They have no religion or con-
ception of religion: no temples, no
charms. no worship. except a slight
tendency toward devil worship to
avoid storms or lightning They have
no doctors and no knowledge of medi-
cine.
Yet. in spite of all this. they live
to a green old age. their death rate
is low. and grave crimes are scarcely
known among them. In appearance
they are unsightly, with prominent
teeth and projecting mouth. and a
tangled mass of coarse, black hair that
would libel the broom of a chimney
sweep"

Washington. June 30.-Secretary
Shaw today gave out statement
showing the comparisons between the
estimates which he submitted to Con-
eress in his last annual report and the
actual receipts and disbursements dur
ing the fiscal year from which II APP
pears that the actual surplus Is only
about three-fourths of million less
than the estimated surplus. when ac-
count is taken only of expenditures,
which were carried in submitting the
estimate.
In the estimate submitted to Con-
sress no account was taken of possible
expenditures in securing the right OF
way for the isthmian canal. nor OF the
loan of $4.600.000 to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Company. The
estimate was based also on then exist
ing laws These were subsequently
modified by the ratification of the re-
ciprocity treaty with Cuba. The sec
rotary calls attention to the fact that
the surplus would have been several
millions in excess of his estimates, but
