interests of the democratic party" This work, 1t is alleged, Is being done prac- tically under the direction of Mayor Os- borne and other democrats whose oppo- sition to MT. Hearst has been constantly avowed.
 Auburn, N. Y.. October 23.-In reference to dispatch from New York relative to the alleged seizure of the democratic head quarters at Albany. Thomas M. Osborne gave out the following statement today:
 "The present headquarters were estab- lished several years ago by Senator Hill and have been maintained by individual contributions, my own among others. As the present democratic state committee was making no use of them, and believing that they could be made available ad- junct of the regular democratic organiza- ton, I have paid the rent and secured a further lease of the rooms. There was no seizure and there Is no necessity for anyone to get excited over the mat ter. Everyone who has any right or title to any of the property there can get it without any trouble; and the headquar- ters will continue to be used for fur thering the best interests of the demo- cratic party"

Washington, October 23.-The letter from William J. Bryan to Chairman Griggs of the democratic congressional committee, explaining why he will be unable to visit Cynthiana, Ky, and lnci- dentally predicting the complexion of the next House of Representatives was made public today and is as follows:
 Hon. J. M. Griggs:
 Dear MT. Griggs-I am very sorry that 1t is impossible to go to Cynthiana, Ky, but as I wired you all my time is taken until election. I wish you would convey my regrets to our democratic candidate for congress in that district, and say to him that am very anxious for his suc- cess. The indications are that we shall have the next Congress, and then our democratic house can send to the Senate remedial measures and join issues with the republicans if they refuse to .,Iopt them. The republican leaders Are so un- der control of predatory wealth that they will not support tae President vixen he attempts tosfollow democratic advice ana secure some reform. i'he President does not go far enough or fast enough in the direction of reform but his political as- sociates are all the time throwing ob- stacles in his way.

PARKER TALKS OF AWFUL CALAMITY Urges True Democrats to Fight
 Hearst SAYS SOME HARSH THINGS But Alluded to Hughes as Man of Learning, Character, Great
 Ability and Lofty
 Purpose.

New York, October 23.-Alton B. Parker at mass meeting of the judiciary nom- rnators here tonight, after saying that he
 had left the bench never to return, paid
 tribute to his former associates and
 the present members of the states courts,
 and appealed to his audience to vote for
 judges who were known to be free of political bias and political bosses. "A machine" he said. "is not the proper
 place from which to select judges and
 the reason of 1t Is very plain. A politi-
 cal machine, otherwise an organization
 which receives its sole control and direc-
 tion from one man, and the will of one
 man, Is a machine organized on this prin-
 ciple.
 'That the men within it give to the
 machine in order that they may receive and the boss in turn gives to them in
 order that he and the members of the
 machine may receive in return.
 Now there is no difference between re- publican machines and democratic ma chimes, but In this particular canvas or
 work is directed against combination
 of a democratic machine and indepedence league machine.
 "Our republican friends while not able to endorse our ticket altogether. have nevertheless endorsed twelve out of thir- teen candidates and I suppose we ought to be satisfied with that. But If the gal lant leader of the republican machine himself a man of learning, of character of great ability, and as l believe, lofty, patriotic purpose, was unequal to the op- portunity to arise to that full height which the occasion offered him what should like to know could you expect of a machine that was dominated by a Mur- phy. or a Hearst. or both In common?" "rhe evidence is unmistakable,' con- tinued Judge Parker, that the leader of
 Tammany Hall realizes that the only opportunity he would have for patronage this year would be in this judicial ticket Did you dream or did I--did any one sup pose for moment that there could be any inducement which would lead him
 to place his hand in the hands of the
 man who had denounced him as cor ruptionist and as criminal, and had pie tured him with stripes upon him, and a ball and chain at his feet? And yet he
 did 1t. He did more. Aspiring to be
 the leader of his party in the state he nevertheless went to a convention and
 there by his will and by his force, by his
 ability to command tins man, and that
 man to break his promise, he turned a
 minority Into a majority. He made a
 convention which had valid title a frau
 dulent one. These things, which were done would in business constitute crime,
 and in politics ought to constitute crime.
 Was there any reward to come to him ex- cept the judges? None at all.
 May God in. His infinite mercy and goodness incline the hearts of these--His people-to fight for our independent ticket as they severally would fight for their
 b.rthrishts, for then the dreadful calam- ity with which we are threatened will pass by on the other side"

As Fish See lt.

From the Baltimore American.
 That fish is an aquarium has an en-
 tirely different view of the external world
 than we whose vision Is unhindered by glass or water is thought that. per haps has come but to few. One of these few Is Prof. Robert w. Wood of Johns
 Hopkins University, who has succeeded in obtaining photographs of Mount Vernon place and view looking west down Mon- | ument and north and south down Eutaw streets, as they would appear to be fish submerged near those localities.
 As is well known, an eye below the sur | face of the water sees the sky compressed into a comparatively small circle of light, the center of which is always immediately above the observer, the appearance being as if the pond were covered with an opaque roof with circular window cut in 1t. The objects surrounding the pond such as trees, houses or people. must ap- pear around the rim of the circle of light but the human being Is unable to get clear notion of their appearance, since his eyes are not adapted to distinct vision under water.
 Reasoning from this fact, 1t occurred to
 Mir Wood that 9. very good notion of how
 these things appear to the fish would be determined by immersing camera In wa
 ter and photographing the circle of light.
 His apparatus was constructed out of a
 lard pail. short focus lens provided with very small diaphragm being cemented over hole perforated in metal disk. which rested on rim soldered around
 the inside of the pail. The plate was placed on the bottom of the pail. and the
 whole filled with clear water in a dark room. The lens was covered by metal cap. operated by a handle on the outside
 of the pail. The apparatus was set on the
 ground and the surface of the water cov- cred with a sheet of glass to prevent rip
 ples, the pail being so full that the glass
 was in contact with the water This ar rangement obviated the necessity of im-
 mersing the affair in a pond, since the function of the latter was performed by
 the water in the pail above the lens
 A number of interesting pictures were taken. among them being Mount Vernon

Never at previous shower have the guests been so generous in their gifts, as the array or linen. nearly all of 1t hand-work, was one of the largest and most beautiful ever seen Many of the pieces were very valu- able and Miss Burns is happy over the gifts and high esteem of her friends.
 The guests were then ushered into the dining room where luncheon was served, and after a half hours social ses- sion, the club disbanded.
 The wedding of MT. c. Lindley Finn and Miss Katherine Burns will take place Thursday afternoon at 5:30 in the home of the brides parents on Fourth avenue A reception will follow, after which the couple will leave for their new home in Goodrich, Tenn.
 The contracting parties are both very popular in Bessemer. Miss Burns comes from a prominent South Carolina family, and is one of the most attractive young women in the city, while MT. Finn was long connected here with the Tennessee company, and is still in their employ.

BELGlUM'S BUSINESS ACTIVITY. A Nation Made Up of Far-Siqhted
 Financiers.

In "A King in Business" in the Novem. Der Everybody's Robert E. Park says of King Leopold:
 Other monarehs have had more or less Illicit relations with the stock market. Gossip says that half the thrones of Eu- rope are Indirectly allied with the Stand ard oil company. But Leopold has gone openly into the money markets: he has put himself at the head of the Belgian group of financiers and led the crusade for foreign concessions.
 At the present time Belgium has no less than fifty concessions in China. They are established In Siam. in Persia and Morocco French and Belgian syndicate owns more than half the debts of Santo Domingo. It Is safe to say that there is not a spot on the globe where the weak ness or rottenness of local government has cast the scent of concessions on the air that Belgians are not already settled, or lowering about expectantly"

Billions of Flowers for Perfumes.

 November.
 The total weight of the flowers gathered annually in the neighborhood of Grasse must approximate ten to twelve billion hounds. The number. of flowers this weight represents is almost incredible. Consider one kind of flower only. The average weight of a jasmine flower IS about 120 milligrams. and consequently the seasons gathering of jasmine alone represents the formidable figure of i've billion jasmine flowers picked by hand: If may be remarked that two-thirds of the people of Grasse live to the age of 70.

High Ground Improves Sight.
From the Indian Review

Reasons for expecting astonishing re- suits from the treatment of certain eye diseases at elevated stations have been found by Dr. Robert Dolnoy of Paris From a balloon at height of coco feet falling bottle was watched until 1t reached a lake, and was then seen as it sank. Examination at a greater altitude showed much distension of the pupils as an effect of tho rarefied atmosphere, with increased sensitiveness of the optic nerve This remarkable sensitiveness should the doctor claims, greatly aid the usual rem edies. Glaucoma and choroiditis are among the diseases that, he believes should receive especial benefit, we now learn.

 The main facts learned today are that the rent of the present state headquarters at No. A State street, has been paid since July and in advance until next May, by Ex-Mayor Thomas of Albany, who has been from the outset one of the most earnest opponents of MT.

OREGON HAS GOOD WAY

They have an election law down in Oregon which provides that the names of candidates for United States Senator can be put on the ballot and voted for like those for governor or other state offices. They also have aSprlmary cleo tion law, giving every voter an oppor- tunity to express his choice for his par tvs nominees. The result is that most of those who are announcing their can didacy before the primaries for legtsls- tive positions are pledging themselves to vote for the man for senator who gets the most votes at the state cleo tion. That comes about as nearly electing United States senators by a vote Of the people as is possible under the consultation of the United States, which makes that 8 duty of the state legislatures.
