The Democratic National conven-
ton, which meets at ST. Louis July
6, will have an even 1000 members,
if delegates are seated from Porto
Rico, Hawaii and Alaska. The
Philippines have sent none. Accord
ing to long party usage, it takes
two-thirds to nominate. That will
require 666 2-S votes. Bryan and
Hearst claim that it will be impos-
sible for any candidate like Parker
or Cleveland to get that number
After conference with Hearst, Bryan
assigns him 225 delegates and
claims 100 for himself. This would
leave the combination eight votes
short of the one-third, but Bryan
expects to pick them up at the con.
ventiOn. The estimated standing
of the delegates already elected
show about this: Uninstructed, 47S
Hearst, 152; Parker, 270; Olney, 80;
Gray, 6; Wall, 26. The claims OF
the Hearst and Bryan people are
based ON the uninstructed vote.
The Parker leaders claim 100 from
these. Senator German claims 80;
Mr.. Bryan has 80. Ifiall the details
of these claims are right, Parker
would have 400 and Hearst 1877.

EYES," said a seedy man on the
Broad street curb, II am on my up-
pers on account Of astrology. An as
trologer told me to sell short, because,
as he said, the market was going
down with a crash.
He proved it by horoscope that
looked like Chinese pinwheel. He
said that Mercury controlled, that Sat
urn was making trouble with Mercury
or something of that sort and couldn't
be helped by Jupiter.
well, by Jupiter! I took his adj
vice and sold all sorts Of stuff that l
never owned. That nigh. when |
looked at the sky saw my mistake,
for there was Taurus on a rampage,
and the Great Bear topping ready for
a fall. The next morning he fell all
over the Stock Exchange. Up went
the market, and up I went with it.
II learned that horoscopes that
don't take into account the attitude of
the Bull and the Great Bear are Of no
use. New York Herald.

Bible Studded With EmeraIds.

The ikons in the Cathedral of the
Assumption in the Kremlin at Mos
COW are immensely valuable. They
yielded about five tons of silver and
five hundredweight of gold to the
French soldiery in 1872, but this treas
ure was recovered by the Cossacks,
who in their gratitude presented to
the cathedral silver chandelier
weighing 900 pounds. The jewels
with which the ikonostas is adorned
are valued at e45,00O, a single emer-
aid alone being worth 10000. This
is Bible SO large that two men are
needed to lift it, and it is studded
with gold and emerelds and other
stones. A sober estimate of the
weight Of golu used in the ikonostas
and vessels Of this famous church
alone places it at 106 hundredweight

The Three.

One walked the ways of other men.
And subtly bent his deed and will
To match the worlds opinion still,
Putting his conscience by, and then
The world accorded high estate,
Hailing him great.
One sought in ways of solitude
To live his life in harmony
with good, and keep his spirit free,
Unstirred by outward fret and feud:
And he so beautiful his days.
Won the worlds praise.
And one amid the jostling crowd
In much temptation sIanchly wrought
Keeping his Independent thought,
Holding his own with soul unbowed,
The world, with understanding, cried.
"Be thou our guide!"

Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

Robert Fulton had the correct
idea about the way to get thing
done including even the inspection
of steamboats,. AS long ago as
1902 he wrote to Capt. Brink, who
commanded the first steamboat, the
"Clermont." 1T is not sufficient
to tell men to do a thing, but stand
over them and make them do it. ;"
If this had been the case with the
Gen. Slocun, there would have
been no perfunctory poking Of life
preservers with cane, and then
calling it an inspection"

and ready to go into the field to give
the G. 0. P. race for its money At
a meeting held late Saturday after
noon a campaign committee was Sc

coed with the conduct of a lively
campaign.

Mayor Wright will look after the
finances, and j T. Eshelman will
manage the show. The other mem
bers of the committee are Henry
Huff, John d. Fletcher and ]. Holli-

Headquarters will be opened in the
National Bank of Commerce building
and meeting of the committee will
be held every Saturday. Although
complete arrangements have not been
made, it is possible that the first
rally may be held here this week.
Ex-senator Turner, candidate for
governor, is expected to arrive some
time this week. and the holding of
mass meeting will largely depend
on the time of his coming, as it is
desired that he be one of the speak
ers at the first meeting
AS in the camp of the enemy, ev-
erything is not strictly harmonious

incipient flare-ups occurred during
