ELECT THE STATE
TREASURER AND PHiLADEl.
t. PHlA CITY TICKET.

Philadelphia, Nov. 9.-The political
revolution in this city and state was
the greatest that has occurred in
Pennsylvania in nearly generation.
There have been previous upheavals,
but this is the first time in years
that every Office for which there was
any semblance of a contest has been
lost to the regular Republicans 1t is
also the first time in a quarter Of
century that the regular Republicans
have been defeated for control of the
state treasury.
The plurality OF William H: Berry,
who was nominated by the Demo-
cratic, Independent party, Lincoln
party and Prohibitionists for state
treasurer, will be nearly 100000 and
may 60 above those figures. J. Lee
Plummer, the Republican candidate,
ran far behind his ticket in nearly
every county in the state. The re-
mainder of the Republican ticket was
elected by the usual Republican plural
tiles. President Roosevelt's plurality
last year was more than half million.
The victory OF the City party, the
ieform organization, over the regular
Republicans in Philadelphia was com
plete and beyond the expectations Of
the reform leaders. The City party's
plurality is 1888. The reform wave
carried Berry along with it: he defeat

Death of California Democrat Who

invioate vow made when Abraham

self that his hair would not be shorn
nor his walking stick be allowed to
rest on the ground until the democracy

the years between Lincoln and Grover
Cleveland Bayse carried his cane un-

never came in contact with the bar

He was of the old school OF gam.
blers. and, like all his class, had a
large heart and an innate pride. On
the election OF. Cleveland a coterie of
his republican admirers made up a
purse and presented him with gold
headed cane in recognition of his
steadfastness in the keeping of his
vow.

ORIGIN II OF HAwKEYK|
HnwsPApEA REpoRTkn AUTHOR
OF IOWA NICKNAME. ~
Duplicate Of an Interview Il Found
and with Il Famous Bit Of
History Is Unearthed
Its Text.

Cedar Rapids, Ia.-Every school
child knows that Iowa is the Hawkeye
state and that its citizens are called
Hawkeyes, but few of them. or their
elders, for that matter, are familiar
with the true origin Of this sobriquet.
Among some documents at the Iowa
Masonic library has been found q
manuscript which throws light on this
heretofore debatable subject.
It is the duplicate of an interview
given out years ago by the late Theo
/dore 8. Parvin, who was grand secre.
tary and librarian of the Masonic
grand lodge from its organization in
January, 1S44. to the time of his death.
In that interview Grand Secretary
Parvin said:
81 was the first private secretary OF
Gov. Lucas, Iowa's first governor.
1T was the custom in the fall OF
1888. the territory having been organ
lied July 4 preceding, for the leading
citizens Of Burlington, the territorial
capital. to assemble of evenings at the
parlor of the Burlington hotel, where
we boarded, where matters touching
the territory were freely discussed.
Zone evening the question arose as
to what term should be selected to
designate the people Of Iowa.
James G. Edwards. at that time
editing the Burlington Hawlieye and
Patriot (the latter portion OF the name
being dropped later, stated to us that
Of htc David
Rorer. citizen of Burlington, had sug-
gested in his paper the name Hawkeye,
which he (Edwards) thought very suit
able and proper.
"The company all joined with him
and agreed to accept the term and TO
promulgate 1t, whereupon Mr.. Ed
wards. in the next issue OF his paper,
and also James Clarke, who later be-
came governor of Iowa, at that time
editing the Iowa Territorial Gazette,
at Burlington. published the same IN
his paper, both Of which were then
weekiie5.
Besides myself in the governors S
Office there was a young friend OF
mine, Jesse Williams, who was clerk
of Indian affairs.
Both of us, like Gov. Lucas, were
from Ohio.
81 was the regular correspondent OF
the Cincinnatian, the leading whig
paper of the west, and Williams, OF the
Ohio Statesman, at Columbus, the
leading democratic paper of the west.
I'VE communicated to our papers
what we had agreed upon and the term
'hawkeye' being published in the lead
ing Ohio paper (whose governor Lucas
had been for two terms) took well.
especially from its similarity to their
own cognomen Of buckeye
From that day and from those CIR
cumstances the people Of Iowa have
been known at home and abroad as
the 'Hawkeyes.'"

New York.--Tomasco Rocco, Is years

eyes. Mr.. Seitz entered the hotel. That
was the last he saw Of his machine
until he found 1t, with two bent axles.
on the sidewalk of Broadway, near
Thirty-ninth street.
Feasting his eyes failed to satisfy
Tomaso. He jumped into the seat and
turned on Iever or two. The ma
chine gave bound and the boy JOY
ously "honked" on the horn as he sped
up the avenue at pace forbidden by
law. AT Forty-second street he turned
east, past the Metropole hotel, nearly
taking down lamppost on the corner,
and then, without slowing up, he
swung into Broadway, going south.
Luckily the street happened to be com.
paratively free of vehicles at the time,
for the gait OF the machine left only q
red blur.
At Thirty-ninth street Patrolman
John j. Brady shouted to the boy, but
grin was the only answer. AS the
boy grinned he lost his hold on the
steering apparatus and ran on the side

latter scattered like chaff, while the
machine dashed down the sidewalk,
coming to short and sudden stop as
1t hit the iron pillars The boy jumped
and ran, but was caught.

TEETH NOT BONES AT ALL
They Are in Fact a Part of the Skin,
Says Professor Thompson in
Recent Address.

London.-Prof. Z. Symes Thompson
Gresham, professor of medicine, in the
course of an address at the Polytechnic,
Regent street, on "The Evolution and
Degeneration of the Teeth" remarked
that while the bones of man and
animals had decayed greatly during
the last 5000 or 1000 years. the teeth
had been preserved in a much better
condition.
Teeth were not part of bones, but part
Of the skin-they were in fact. dermal
appendages. Old people were sur
prised to find that when the teeth of
the lower jaw departed there was very
little Of the jaw left This produced
what was called the nut-cracker
physiognomy. Referring to the fact
that the crocodile had an animated
toothpick in the form of bird, which
removed foreign matter, the lecturer
enforced the lesson of the necessity of
attending carefully to the cleansing of
the teeth and recommended attention
to them at night as being more i'm
portant than in the morning.

Find Cross Embedded

LIE Sueur, Minn.-The largest turtle
ever caught in the Minnesota river
anywhere near here was landed re-
Gently half mile south Of town by
Harry Thurman. and 1t develops that
the gigantic reptile must have had q
romantic history and at some time
in the dim past must have been the
playtbing or curio of an Indian or Q
mound builder prince or princess.
The upper shell, or carapax, was a
little less than three feet long and
q little over two feet wide, and as
soon as the animal was caught It was
observed that there was strange ap
pearance as of cross on the shell
the raised lines which constituted i,
crossing at right angles in the center
of the shell and being about eight
inches in length. the one from side to
side being slightly the shorter.
Yong Thurman killed the tortoise
and then cut into the cross on the
shell to see why the lines should be
there. He was much astonished to
find that the knife struck on metal
slightly below the surface, and on
full investigation being made 1t was
discovered that the cross was made by
the shell having grown over a chain
of gold which had been fastened TO the
edges of the turtles shell undoubtedly
more than 200 years ago. when the tur-
tie was only as large as indicated BY
the size of the cross. and that in the
years that have elapsed since then the
shell had grown over the chain and
