Candy on the Dinnar Tahle.

From the manner in which candy Is served at dinner 1t would seem that New York has a very sweet tooth. Candy Is in the table universally. One expects to see the bOn-bon dish on the dinner table a5 much as he does the celery or olives. French candies are used extensively, but e-r1ade sweets are about as we'll liked as the French dainties. There are a number of women in New York who make these homemade sweets which they sup ply to families They are delicious and are a novelty coming as change from the regulation confectioners' productions. When q hostess wants anything specially new and novel in the way of sweetmeats she goes down to Chinatown, where she may find things delicious and odd beyond description.

ROMANCE OF HEARTS
Custom of Their Separate Burial is
 Not Unconlfnon., ta3 ts

NOC CuCVnhgfls, fasy <
 Tit-Bits. ,ss.g.
 The separate burial 6f hearts 3tss not such singular occurrence 'hsri many readers may be apt to suppose. History supplies us with numerous instances. VI When Richard, the Idon-TIearted. vas mortally wounded in tho attack on the Castle of Chaluz he expressed a wish that his body should be buried at tho feet of his father at FontevEaud, in tolS- en of his sorrow for the trouble and anx- iety which he had formerly caused him. But he bequeathed his heart to the in- habitants of Rouen as ili acknowIedg- ment of the faithfulness of his Norman subjects. The somewhat singular gift was gratefully accepted and was honored with q beautiful shrine in 17SS, but about q century later the heart of the famous Crusader was found inclosed in leaden casket under the pavement of the Ca- thedraEsI It was replaced, but some time later was again taken up and deposited in the Museum of Antiquities, from which it was in turn removed to a more ap- propriate resting place in the choir of the Cathedral, where it now remains.
 On the death of John Ballol, father of that Baliol who opposed Brucc's claim to the throne of Scotland, his widow or dered his heart to be removed and placed
  vived her husband twenty years. it is said trat she never sat down to meal without having the casket beside her. In accordance with her dying request the heart was placed on her dead bosom pre- Vious to interment in her own abbey, which was situated on the banks of the Nth.
 When the great Napoleon died. in St. Helena, his heart was removed in order [ 4 case. The doctor who removed it set 1t under a glass case in his bed room. Dur ing the night he was startled py the sound of breaking glass and he just man. aged to prevent large rat from carry Ing off the heart to it's hole. The heart was immediately placed in an urn and secured in the coffin beside tho body.
 There would appear to be soTae doubt as to what became of Byrons heart after his death. According to one account it was lost in a marsh in Greece, under the following circumstances: As 1t is we'll knowh, the poet took a deep interest in the efforts which the Greeks were then making 10 secure their freedom. Ills ser vices were highly appreciated by these people, and when he died his relatives who had resolved to convey his body to England for burial, were requested to leave his heart in Greece.
 The wish was complied with and the precious relic was placed in silver cas- ket. Mesolonghi Was besieged and when the Greeks saw the impOssibility of ward ing off the attack. small party made desperate sally, carrying off the heart with them. They were successful in cut ting their way through the Turkish army. but were soon compelled to con ceal themselves in marsh, where the heart. which they had tried so hard to save. was lost.

COCHRAN NOMINATED.
Candidate for Congress in Place
 MaYor Mcclellan.

Candidate for Congress in Place of
 Mayor Mcclellan.
 New York Special to New Orleans Times | Democrat
 Tammany made it's first plunge into the presidential campaign tonight wh 1t nominated Bourke Cochran for Congress l In place of George B. NJ rClellan. with the announcement that he was sent there to help frame the issues on which the na- tional campaign is to be fought.
 The convention was made further sig nificant of Tammanys attitude by the fact that the name of Grover Cleveland evoked the longest and londest demon- | stration of the evening. The convention cheered for a full minute.
 l Bourke Cochran was escorted to the hall where he had just been nominated by a convention presided over by Cor nelius Collins. When Mir. Cochran en- tered tho hall, the convention cheered him. He said he had consulted many friends who thought that the congress sional field was the one in which he could best serve the people.
 l Tn the course of his speech accepting the nomination, Mir. Cochran said: T accept with pride the mission you l have delegated to me to become one of those to frame the issues on which the coming campaign is to bc fought | Iouay as q result or eight years Of Republican government panic looms over l the land, as panic always looms over the land where government is conducted on the principle of levying toll upon the in- dustry of the many for the benefit of the few.
 Look for a moment at the attitude which this country has assumed among the nations of the earth. Measure the fan from the en:incnce of ten years ago to the depths of suspicious which 1t oc- cupies today as a freebooter country, seeking plunder wherever the hand Is strong enough to strangle a weaker na- tion and to add to tho shallow glory of a petty Republican politician.
 This chasrn separates the America of today. after eight years of Republican rule. from the America of ten years ago, when the voice of justice and conscience. which Is the voice of heaven itself, cham pioning the cause of tho weak, not for aggression and plunder, but because it was just and right found expression in the pen of Grover Cleveland. (Long con- tinued appiause.) Ii is not necessary that we should change the direction Of the ship of state unless we are to como to disaster. What is the remedy? It Is in the success of the Democratic party and the defeat of the party responsible for this corruption. We can win in but one way. and hat is by united party. When we have been united history shows that the Democratic parry has never been defeated"
