The Democratic leaders are no near
err agreement. as to candidate than
they were three months ago. The
Parker movement, launched In New
York, has not developed as promised.
Hill stock is going down and German
stock Is not coming up. There is talk
of compromise, but neither the Parker
nor the Bryan contingent Is yielding
an inch.
Parker, 1t is reported from New
York and Washington, is losing
ground. Hearst has lost prestige and
Hills enemies are coming to the front.
The reorganizers who have followed
the lead of Cleveland and Olney are
divided into envious groups. The
Kansas City platform faction is not
standing together.
The tendency is downward every
where. Even those who talk of com.
promise candidate dispiritedly men,
ton Mr.. Towne as man who would
accept defeat in good spirit. Others
talk dejectedly of President Francis
of the st. Louis Exposition as a har
monizer.
With the strong men Of the party in
the background or on the retired list.
with the rank and file of the party
clamoring for leadership, there is no
activity except in intrigue, and no en-.
thusiasm not bounded by state lines.
Basing all their hopes for success in
November on carrying New York, the
eastern Democrats are haggllng over
conditions on which they will accept

| there Is distrust instead of loyalty,
and an absence of anything resem

west conditions are no better; in some
particulars they are worse because OF
resentment against any candidate
likely to be named by the reorgan
izers or Cleveland Democrats.

The Hlahest waterman.

For a long time the highest known
waterfall in the world was Cerosola
cascade, in the Alps, having a drop
of 2,400 feet. But a waterfall in the
San Cuayatan canyon in the state Of
Durango, Mexico, now claims first
place. 1t was discovered by some
prospectors ten years ago in the great
barranca district which is called the
Tierras Desconocidas. While search.
ing for the famous lost mine, Naran.
jail, great roar of water was heard.
With mich difficulty the party pushed
on and up the mighty chasm until
they beheld the superb fall, which is
said to be not less than 5000 feet high.

There was rather fine bit OF senti-
ment developed the other day when
an actor named Maurice Pike was
dragged before New York magistrate
charged with vagrancy. The poor old
fellow is 65 years of age. and he told
the Judge that he had often appeared
in the support of Edwin Booth. 1t
happened that the judge, who Is him
self an old man, remembered the &C.
tor, and he asked him if he did not
play Cassie to Booths Othello in the
year 1872. Poor old Maurice Pike sat
isfied the court that he was the guilty
party, and the magistrate refused to
pass a sentence. In fact, he told the
old actor that he would see that he
was provided for until the time when
he could communicate with the Actors
Fund Society.

watched and waited, too. But if he
ever CHANGED to go by, the happy
chance of seeing him was not hers.
During the previous spring and sum-
mer, and even late into the autumn, 1t
had been different-once or twice in
every blessed week he had come to
gladden. the days, to set them in jew
eled frames in her memory's gallery.
Or IL he had not, strictly speaking,
come to her, she had yet seen him;
happened to see him; been permitted
by kind fate to speak with him.
Not that he failed entirely to seek
her out. There was denying the han
diness of the small riverside house,
where she lived with her widowed
mother, as a place to drop into" for
tea or restful chat"
The first time he had entered that
gate, humorously dripping object Of
compassion out of an overturned sail
ing boat, the almond tree against it
was pink with blossom, and he al
ways afterward associated her with
the fragile pink flowers, weaving
many a dainty compliment for her
out of the sweet resemblance which
a poetic fancy helped him to keep
wildly before him-at least, when she
was bodily before him also.
By the time the almond tree was
thick with leaf, he had grown in in
timacy at the little riverside house to
the privileged point of inviting her
into his boat whenever, as sometimes
happened, he was bound to no special
destination.
She was so young, such a child, such
an embodiment of April tears and
sunshine and all the intangible, mock
ing gaity of spring, to set against his
almost worldwide experience and his
ripening years.
So her influence on him was as
ephemeral as the flower of the almond
tree, delicately sweet while it lasted,
but to be oyerpowered by the next
succeeding interest just as the al
mond blossoms are overpowered and
scattered by every wind that blows. A
delight of day. too unsubstantial to
weather the night.
But, if all her charm was INSULT
cient to help her, it served, working
mysteriously against itself, to help
him and also to help one near to her.
Through her very immaturity Of
mind, her youthful perfection of body,
in some strange way he seemed, after
a time, to reach appreciation Of the
woman who had brought her into the
world-a woman who, in spite of her
undoubted conversational powers,
guarded her personality with jeal-
Gus armament of silence and reserve;
who seemed to shrink from any
friendship which gave hint of curl
osity, or even of interest pressed ever
so slightly home.
Yet, for all her care, put her sue
cessfully off her guard, there would
leap at rare moments into her cul-
tured manner, a manner that he knew,
the light-hearted gaiety her daughter
had inherited, completed, made salts
flying, made real, by all that life had
taught her.
He grew to longing for those depths
eagerly, passionately, that he might
gain rest in them, summed there by
her lighter manner, sustained by her
truth and steadfastness.
One whom he looked on as a
child had led him, with a chiids sure
ness of touch within sight of the
worlds Greatest Good. He knew now
what his life had always lacked; he
faced his remedy. He was in love at

NIT our goods to enter free. or course
this Is a preposterous assumption, but
1t Is not difficult to account for when
we recall that It was fastened upon
the Democratic party Ivy lhe South at
a time when the South imagined 1t
could do anything but grow cotton
which 1t supposed 1t would have to
send out OF that region to be mana-
featured. This section of course was
considering not the interests of tho
whole country, but merely its own in
terests. Then, too, IL was jealous of
the Northern industries, and preferred
to patronize the foreigner. Once this
was fastened upon the party, this
party was true to the tradition, as Mr..
Cleveland says 1t ought to be, and
consequently fell good many years
behind the times in this as in other
things. Hence the party became COM
mitted to this Dogma or n tariff for
revenue, which is the nearest APP
proach to free trade that any civilized
country has ever had. or course, the
schoolboy knows that others nations
will not make such a law because we
do 1t, but assume that they would. Al
ready we have at home the greatest
market in the world, and this would
mean to throw all of 1t away for the
silly delusion of thus capturing in
ferior markets. In the first place we
don't get the markets in this way,
and even II we should get these mar
kets, we should be giving away

tion.-Marion Qnd.) Chronicle.

warmed. too. to the little girls, Helen
and Fern. and bis love for them seemed
as sincere as If they had been his own.
II was an ideal marriage, so everybody
said who knew them.
Last summer Mrs. Gerhold went to
Put-ln-Bay for the heated term. Her
husband stayed behind. Then suddenly
something happened to dull his affec-
tions. for as soon as Mrs. Gerhold came
back her troubles began. Gerholds. Sr,
took the sons side. and Mrs. Gerhold's
lot was anything but happy one, all
in the twinkling Of an eye.
"He was fooled into this marriage" "
was the claim of the lawyers whom the
husband retained
I'VE did not know OF the two chill
dren." added the father and mother,
and as a final blow. "she was older
than he"
They separated and divorce proceed
ings were begun. Mrs Gerhold sued and
obtained alimony. The husband made
answer in no uncertain terms. He de-
clared that she was daft upon the ques-
ton OF her own beauty. In his answer
he asserted that she used to stand before
the pier glass for hours admiring the
beauty of her own face and figure. She
called upon him 10 admire her, he swore;
insisted upon knowing what compli-
ments his acquaintance paid her in HIS
presence. and bade him to find out for
her what was said when she went out
in the street.
Then came the now famous injunction
forbIddlng the wife to make love to her
husband
To get this injunction the husband
had to make affidavit In It he says he
had been tricked and deluded. that his
wife even while there was a suit for ali
mony pending insisted upon meeting
him and following him TO his own great
distress He insist that her open expires
sions or ardor for him In public places
are most unpleasant.
He says that when she meets him OF
the street she catches hold Of his cloth
ing. begs him to listen to her and at
tracts great attention; that she follows
him into business places. and on one oc
casion threw herself down and insisted
that he had struck and knocked hel
iown. He alleges that she found hin
at the railway station and insisted OF
hugglng and kissing him. becoming
bolsterous and threatening when HI
resisted.
To all this the young wife gives in
dignant denial. v0wing that when tn
case gets 10 court she will make revela
tions that will astonish Toledo.

Ths Beet SUGAR Industry.

A report on the progress OF the beet
sugar industry IN 1903, prepared by
Charles f. saylor. special agent Of the
United States department Of agriculture,
and printed by authority Of congress,
has been issued. II shows that there has
been an increase in the number OF beet
sugar factories in the United States from
43 at the close Of 1902 TO sc at the begin
ming Of 1904. Fifty Of these were In
operation during the campaign" OF 1903.
According to the report the sugar beet
crop Of 1903 amounted 10 a little more
than 100000 tons harvested from 2f2,-
SIC acres, the average yield being about
81 tons to the acre. The prices which
the farmers received for beets from the
different factory companies ranged from
$3.50 to $50 per ton, the average being
nearly FIVE dollars. The average gross
returns to the farmers were, therefore
$3.50 per acre. The estimated cost OF
growing beets by irrigation Is $40 per
acre, and In sections where irrigation
Is not necessary. $50. II sS5 be taken
as the average for the whole crop Of 1909
the average net profit to the farmers was
$3.50 per acre. In some OF the sugar beet
areas, the returns were very much high
er than this general average. AS In the
production OF other crops, much depends
on the season. the character Of the land
and the kind of farmer who grows the
beets. Many farmers have cleared from
S25 TO $50 per acre. The best result on
record for 1903 was secured BY a farmer
Of Otero county, Col. He grew one acre
Of sugar beets at a cost Of about 1880
the yield Of beets was 80 tons, for which
he received sl5S, his net returns beinl
about $3.50. The amount Of sugar made
from the beet crop Of 1903 was 2iO,6Oi
tons, as compared with 2lS .405 tons from
