TAFT and BRYAN.

The time for nominating Presidential
candidates is still two years away, but
it is undeniable that at the present time
two names are uppermost in mems
minds, William j. Bryan as the probable
nominee of the Democratic party,
Willlom H. Taft as the probable nomi-
nee of the Republican party, says the
Louisville, KY, Evening Post.
The best-laid plans often go astray
and no one can say that either of these
men will in the end be the nominee of
their respective parties. Judge Taft
may elect to go on the Supreme bench;
Mr.. Bryan may decide not to accept
the nomination, but at present each is
the logical and the strongest choice of
the party to which he belongs. Judge
Taft is our ne!ghbor. He'lives in Gin
cinnati. Perhaps the closest of all his
personal friends is one of the most dis
tinguished citizens of Louisville, who
recently retired from the Federal bench,
which he had ornamented for nineteen
years. For a number of years Judge
Taft was United States Judge of the
Circuit Court, which took in Kentucky.
He knows the members of the bar of
this State He has accurate informa-
ton as to our internal politics. He has
personal interest in the State and the
people of Kentucky.
Mr. Bryan is also well known to Ken
lucky, and he knows Kentucky well.
Mr.. Bryan has been here on at least a
dozen speaking tours. He knows all
our Congressman by name and is prob
ably well informed as to all our leading
men, Moreover. he has responded to
the call for help from Kentucky Demo-
ctats when they did not deserve assist
ancc.
When Mr.. Bryan came to Kentucky
he came in obedience to the call of his
party, when as an independent man he
must have rcvoltcd at the course his
party was following.
Last fall in State election the Re
publicans called on Judge Taft to come
to Ohio and help them elect Il machine
made ticket At that time the people
of Cincinnati and the people of Louis
vile were both trying To throw off the
yoke of a corrupt political machine. In
Cincinnati the machine was Republican.
and the sole argument for its ticket
was that it was Republican. In Louis
vile the machine was Democratic. and
the arguments were the same with the
party reversed.
Judge Taft came to Ohio the fore
most Republican in the country. Doubt
less he did not ask to make that speech,
but when invited he did not shrink from
the issue. He said that he had been
invited to come to Ohio as Rcpubli-
can. AS Republican and an honest
man he would do his duty. He there
upon called upon all Republicans to
vote against the corrupt Republican
ticket in the city of Cincinnati. This
speech turned the scale. The corrupt
Republican ticket was defeated in Gin
cinnati and that city now has a reform
city administration.
What might not Mr.. Bryan have done
in Kentucky had he taken like course?
Suppose Mr.. Bryan had urged the
Democrats in the Kentucky Legislature
not to steal an office, no matter how
great the temptation, suppose he had
made plea for party honesty as well
as personal honesty, he would have
written for the Democracy of the State
the brightest chapter in it's history.

The Nevada Northern will soon be
running into Ely and in as much as it's
coming changes the whole warp and
wool of our fabric, makes city out of
village, improves our markets and
puts us in close touch with the great
centers of population, it is meet and
proper that it's coming should be hailed
with much satisfaction. When the road
is finished to this point it should be
made day of great rejoicing for our
people. for it marks the most import
ant period that Ely has ever passed,
and arrangements should at once be
made for proper observance of the
occasion. A public meeting should be
called and the arrangements should be
put into the hands of committee of
three to do all things necessary to make
the day what it should be and the whole
affair should be left to that committee.
The reason THE News suggests COM
mittee of three is that three of the
right kind of men can accomplish more
than larger committee of non-work
crs could possibly accomplish. THE
NEWS would also suggest that a copper
spike be provided to be driven as the
East spike" and that a programme be
arranged to accompany the driving of
the copper spike.

Raapicker,s Hidden Hoard.

The little town of Brailleul, in the
north of France, has within the last
few days been the scene of a singular
incident The premises of a petty
marine store dealer had become such
a public nuisance to the neighbor-
hood from accumulations of rags of
several years standing that strong
complaints were made. to the police,
and as the owner refused to mitigate
the nuisance or to deliver up his keys
the place had to be forcibly entered
and cleared.
The contents, in an unspeakable
condition of offensive decay, filed
twelve carts and underneath all the
rotting mass, which was evidently
there to serve the double purpose of
hiding place and scarecrow, were two
great leathern sacks weighing 160
pounds and stuffed full of money,
mainly silver, though there was some
copper. The old hoarder is almost
broken hearted at his secret having

Odd Fad of Collector.

M. Gustave Schlumburger, Paris
ian collector, has one of the strangest
hobbies of the world and interest in
the work is doubled by the variety of
the objects he seeks. His hobby,
which he has pursued foE over thirty
years has been the bringing together
of the seals formerly attached to the
correspondence of the princes and
prelates settled in Syria in conse-
quence of the crusades. In all he has
secured fifty specimens, which he in
tends to bequeath to the French ma
tiOn-
Some of the seals are of great in
terest, as, for example, that of King
Amaury II. of Jerusalem, showing on
its reverse the three chief buildings
of the city; that of Balian dIberlin,
seigneur of Naplouse, who defended
Jerusalem against Saladin in 1887;
and that of a seigneur of the strong
hold of Maracleus, on the seacoast of
Syria, which shows the formidable
keep of the fortress.

SHARKS HAVE SPECIAL SENSE

Enables Them to Detect Presence of
Carrion Afar Off.
1t is a curious thing, and, so far as
present knowledge goes, quite mex
plicable, how a shark seems to have
an unerring perception of the pres
ence of carrion. BY virtue of what
sense does he know that at a distance
of perhaps a couple of miles there is
food to be had for the picking up? 1t
can hardly be sight, and to say that it
is the sense of smell presupposes an
olfactory apparatus of such marvellous
delicacy that one good whiff from an
average harness cask'' would surely
burst the machinery for good and all;
and yet our shark will bolt a goodly
lump of the gamiest salt pork without
so much as a wink. No, it cannot be
his nose which leads him
Now theory has been put forward
by naturalists that the shark possess
es, in common with the Andes condor
a special sense, or instinct which is
denied to cleaner feeding animals.
The naturalist cannot explain this
sense; confesses, in fact, that he
knows nothing about it; but he can
give it a name. He calls it the car
rion sense and with that name
which, of course, explains nothing at
all, expects us to be satisfied.

Costly Lord Mayors Coach.

Originally costing something more
than $4,000, the lord mayors coach,
still used in the annual procession,
has probably had more money ex-
pended upon it than any horse-drawn
vehicle in the world. 1t is nearly $50
years old and in that time more than
100000 has been spent in refurnish-
ing it for the sole occasion when it is
made use of each year. more mod
ern coach could be had for the sum
of five years repairs, but new coach
would never seem the same to the
London public, who line the Strand
on the occasion of the November pa
rade. 1t is probable that the lord
mayor of a century hence will ride in
the same equipage, though, like the
Trishman's knife, it has been repaired
so often that practically nothing OF
the original coach remains.

Sled That Belonged to Hawaiian
Chiefess Recently Found.

Chiefess Recently Found.
N. K. Pukui, while on a tur of the
island of Hawaii, found a sled in a
cave at Hookeena, Hawaii.
1t is said that the oldest kamaai-
mas of Hookena have heard from
their parents and grandparents that
some time in the reign of King Kea-
wenuiaumi. about two hundred and
fifty or three hundred years ago, a
high chiefess name Kaneamuna was
then living at Hookena. Her princi-
pal amusement was hee holua Coast
ing on a sled) and hee nalu (surfing).
She had her people make a sliding
ground for her on hill just back of
the little village of HOokena, and or
dered a sled, or land toboggan, as
well as a surfing board. When the
slide was finished she passed many
hours sliding down the steep hill.
This slide was composed of smooth
stones covered with rushes. After
her death her sled and surf board dis
appeared, and the secret of their
hiding place was never revealed.
1t is blieved the sled and board
found in the cave belonged to the
high chiefess. They are made of the
wood of the bread fruit tree and at
the present time are in very good
condition. The cocoanut fibre ropes
are still attached to the sled.-Hono-
