 nation From Democratic Committee. New York Special to Washington
 Post.
 Perry Belmont, Democratic State Committeeman from the First District, has repented of the action he took at the meeting of the Committee last Fri day, when, rather than follow Senator McCarren in defying the Committee, he resigned. Edwin A. Bailey of Patc- hogue, was elected to i'll his place.
 Since last Friday MT McCarren has not only made 1t clear that he intends to fight to the highest court in the State any attempt on the part of the State Committee to expel him and Jo- seph Bermel, who was elected Demo- cratic leader of Queens by about 5000 votes, to 5000 cast for Cassidy, but has announced his intention to test in the courts the legality Of the action taken by the Buffalo convention in unseating his delegates.
 The stand taken by MT. McCarren and MT. Bermel seems co have induced MT. Belmont to reconsider his action, and he wrote today to William J Con- ners, Chairman of the Democratic State Comittee, explaining that he was the regularly elected member of the State Committee from the First Senatorial District, and that he proposed to insist upon his right to his seat in the Com mittee. Mir. eBlmont says he did not understand the situation when he re- signed, and that he will fight the mat ter in hand.

THE EYEBROWS.
Some supersfatfons and Odd Beliefs Concerning Them.

Some Supersfatfons and Odd Beliefs London Globe.
 ' Notwithstanding their inconspicu- ousness, the eyebrows have been the center of a certain amount of lore and even superstition. But the chief point at which superstitution or folklore is found in this connection is in those cases, not infreduent, where the eye prows meet. Everywhere this meet ing. of the brows has been held to be omtnous in one way or another.
 In some of our southern counties folk say that it is good to have such prows, for the possessor will never have trouble; but this is rare inter- brows are held to be of evil omen. Readers of Charles Kingsleys Two Years Ago" will remember Mrs. Har- and was still clever: ''but the eye brows," continues Kingsley, "crushed together downward above her nose, and rising high at the outer corners, indicated as surely as the restless down drop. eye a character self con- scious, furtive. capable of great in eonsistencies, possibly of great de- ceits."
 In the Icelandic sagas a man with meeting eyebrows is said to be one of the dreadful creatures known as were wolves, and the same belief has been traced in Denmark and Germany; while in Greece, says MT. Barring Gould. they are a sign that a man is vam- pfre In horror there is little to choose between vampires and werewolves A fanctful reason which has been given for these superstitions is that the meeting brows resemble a butterfly
 the familiar type of soul ready to fly off and enter some other body" This seems tolerabiy far fetched. In Hungary gypsy. women and men whose eye brows grow together are supposed to have in special degree the power of enehantment. and as Hitter ate folk have a great dread of such mysterious powers, especially as they may be supposed to be directed against the well being or happiness of their children, it need hardly be said that a
 man whose brows meet Is not a popu- 1 lar person. Even now there are parts of England where a belief in witchcraft still fingers, and not so very long ago in Northumberland there were people who regarded a person
 whose eyebrows met as a witch or
 warlock
 In the north of Aberdeenshire. &C., cording to the late Rev. Walter Gregor, who was a very competent
 authority on Scottish lore and cus-
 toms, a "closebroot man" that is. one
 as being immoral Elsewhere in Scot land one with 'close broos" was re-
 garded as unlucky to be met as first | fit" while other folk went a good
 deal further and regarded the unIucky l possessor of close broos' as one

contemporary has an editorial headed, Fashions in Africa" We had thought that the fashionable dress in that country consisted of a string of beads, but possibly they are getting away from their former Edenic sim plicity. Since the white men have pen etrated and explored nearly every por- ton of that continent 1t Is probable that the people are learning to wear clothes, even during the week. And it Is also quite likely that the indomit- able and ubiquitous Yankee travellers and traders have taught the natives not only the good of wearing clothes but that they will never be well dress ed until they learn to appreciate strict iy American goods. This is one of the branches of education that our New sEngland brethren are well versed In, and if everything else is favorable to their efforts they will soon be putting American clothes on all the natives of the Dark Continent. as it used to be called.

 When Kentucky was first settled the frontiersmen who had scaled the Appalachian range and found Paradise situated, not in the cerulean skies above the granite ribbed peaks of the Rlue Ridge, but down in the valley upon t'other side of the mountains, they set about devising ways and means for evening up things for the rest of the human race so that there would not be too great a rush into Kentucky. The best that they could do was to invent a nectar like unto that which, coursfng through the veins of the Persian tentmaker, made him a poet and caused him to- wonder what the Yintners buy one half so precious as the stuff they selt."
 It was thus, in sweet charity for the unhappy dwellers in less blessed lands, that the crystal waters from the lime- stone springs of the Blue Grass and the perfect kernels of the corn from the river bottoms" were. brought into conjunction and distilled into amber liquid that in due time spread the fame Straits to the Straits of Magellan and made whiskey straight the favorite po- tation of the discriminating palate in two hemiSpheres.

 popular sentiment is fast crystalizing into a demand that officers of criminal corporations shall be punished with jail sentences. but 1t Is safe to predict that the country will be greatly sur prised should President Roosevelt rec ommend Imprisonment penalties for such lawbreakers.

THE MACHINE MAY sur.

There has been much said in the past few years on the subject of voting machines. and they have been very generally advocated and endorsed on two points. sp,ed and accuracy. It Is claimed that the actual voting can be done much more rapidly and that with in a few m'sures after the voting Is over the total result has ben ascer- tained and set down. Then it has also been insisted that the vote as recorded by the machine is absolutely correct, so that false returns will be prevented or avoided. It seems, however, that in Indiana at least. two errors have been discovered in their work. and that has given rise to the probability that a voting machine may not be entirely above suspicion. Like many other mechanical appliances this machine may get ddt of order or fall to do its work exactly as desired. If it shall be found that the voting machines are not thoroughly reliable confidence in them will be lost.
 It may be that the errors to which The Indianapolis Star rfers were caused entirely by the machines being deficient or not in good working order. A sewing machine. a typewriter, or almost any other ma shine will get out of order, and these may te no ex- eeption. And this Is not tine only dis turbing feature in connection with voting machines. These are also to some extent adding machines, and many banks and counting rooms use and depend on adding machines in their business. If one machine may make an error in figures why may not any other so astray? That is not a resssuring reflection for those who have been looking on these as the very limit of accuracy and reliability and as offering means through which false returns will be impossible.

ANoHER LAST ONE.

A few days ago what Is claimed to have been the last Revolutionary pen- sioner passed away in the person of Afrs. Esther Damon When she was a pretty school teacher of twenty-one she married a hoary old Revolution ary soldier of seventy-ive. and at his death she continued to draw the pension as the widow of a Revolution ary soldier 12s years after the war finally closed.
 We have more than once been as- sured of the death of the last pen sioner of the famous conflict, but we suppose this is, genuine case. If there is another we shall soon hear from her, but 1t is hardly likely that there is another. The death of this one brings up some interesting reflec- tons. As stated, this pensiOner died 12S years after the end of the war. Our war between the States ended in 1865. Adding I2s years to that brings us up to 1888, so that, if we are to judge the future by the past, the United States will be paying pensions eighty two years hence on account of the war in which North and South strove tor mastery. People now live to be as old as they did In peer times, and if the young girls Of these days marry erizzled old Union veterans of 75 or over some of tn sUl viii ne drawing g pensions at least fourscore years in the future. That is a prospect that the people of this and two or three future generations may contemplate with such satisfaction as they can de- rive from gu .h a subject. This is a great pension-p paying government, for a fact, but we old +rebs" are out of 1t. "serves you right" the Yankees tell us.

From a time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" 1t has been the understanding that the toothsome and succuleut codhsh was New England's standby in the way of something to eat, but The Boston Globe gets in a kindly word for the good red herring" as some old writer dubbed them. The Globe gravely remarks that "If New England were alive to the economic value of the herring she would eat all the sup ply herself" which we look on as a sefish and unneighborly manner of looking at the matter. Does The Globe think that our Yankee brethren are the only ones who are longing and pining for a bite of herring? Yet it selfshly intimates that they should devour the entire crop and refuse to divide with others. That isn't good manners. that's what it isn't.
