 As I understan the matter. the issue now between Juhge Stiles and Colonel Hlgdon Is a narrw ore As understand it they have abaldontd every other posi- ton that they have taken heretofore and they have planted themselves now solely on the proposition that the democratic executive committee of Jefferson county didn't have Jurisdiction and authority to entertain the contest Instituted by Judge Stiles I have reid in one of the after noon papers a Grd sgned by a reputa- ble gentleman and who as l believe, signs himself "a Stilts man, chairman Of the democratic and conservative party n party which believe had It's birth in this hall only f.w nights ago and which, fellow citizens, win have it's death in few shorts weels from now. tApplause).

(Applause)
 My fellow democrats, do you propose to repudiate the committee of your own cre- ation. to repudiate their fairness and spit on their certificate and declare it IS fraud, set of men simply because one man in your community repudiated him before he went to trial and that he said he would not take their verdict which was your verdict, no matter what it migh, be.

Rheunatlsm of OId Age

Mrs. Caroline Trunk, 1705 Jefferson Ave, Peoria H., writes:
 T had very painful trouble for six years, consisting of rheumatism in the back and In the thigh. I used a great deal of medicine, but it did not help me. Then I used Dr. Hartman's Peru na and two bottles of this entirely freed me of the rheumatism. I wish to keep both Peruna and Manalin always in the house. This is the best medicine that I can recommend any one to take for rhetunatism.'
 Catarrh All Through My system.
 MT. Robert Meters Murdock, cass Co.,, Neb., Box 45, writes
 "I commenced to take Peruna the first of last February. I took 1t as nearly as possible according to direc- tions. I also got a Peruna almanac and for the first time -learned that my trouble was systemic catnrrh. l had catarrh from my head all through my system. l took Peruna until I was en- tireIy cured.

cratic emblem on the eth day of next November they have abandoned their po- ltiical allegiance to the old-time democ- racy of the fathers. (Applause)
 As l said. this is not an attack on Judge Stiles; it is an attack on the machinery of the democratic party; it says that the democratic voters of Jefferson county can not select an honest, unbiased and fair committee, that is what they say to you, and you cannot construe it into anything else Show me the man anywhere in this city that can stand before an audience and say that if there was fraud in the ballot box in the last primary election. that the candidates didn't have a right 10 show that fraud reject it from the re- turns and find an honest return of the honest voters In this county (Applause.)
 That is all that Judge Stiles asks. And did he ask It of his own partisans? No; he asked it from committe that was freshly born out of the womb of the democratic party. (Applause) Just come from the hands of the people, not selected as his partisans not selected in his in- terest, not selected with any consider alton or thought of this contest case, but selected to represent the sovereign democ- racy of Jefferson county. (Applause.) And it, is that committee, that committee that l hold in my hand here, some of whom l served with myself on the democratic committee of Jefferson county nearly twenty years ago, men who are long in the service of the democratic party, men whose names are bywords' and honors in their immediate community men whose word and integrity and standing can not be doubted for a minute.

Prince Victor of
Italy. Count of Turin.

1onged period, or for all time, there has usually
been American clue to the mystery, and there
have even been some instances where Princes
and Princesses officially regarded dead, have
survived their fictitious obsequies for many years in
America.
Indeed, I need only cite in this connection the
generally accepted story regarding the fate of that
German Princess of Wolfenbuttel, the consort of
Czarowitch Alexis, the i'll fated son of Peter the
Great. One of the charges brought by the latter
against his son, and for which he put him to death,
was that of cruelty to his wife The death of the
Princess officially announced. Yet it is gen.
orally understood that, thanks to the aid of some
faithful friends, another corpse was entombed in
her stead, and that she came to America, married
here the young German officer who had been the
companion of her flight, and lived to happy old
age with him down in the neighborhood of New
Orleans.
In fact, this subject of incognito visits from Old
World royalty to America would furnish the theme
for abundant discussion and for many romance.
But the brief notes given will perhaps serve to call
the attention of the people of America to the fact
that the members of European imperial houses do
not always travel about with their crowns upon
their heads, and that, like the ANGELS, they
often entertained unawares."

Slave Ants

TT has long been known to naturaists that several
i species of ants maintain and feed another sort of
insects for the sake of the that they exude and
which the ants use as food. These ants are said,
therefore, to keep cows But it has been dis
covered only within recent years that there ants
that rise the backs of others and thus the
cavaliers of the insect world.
Within this period scientist in the employment
of the Smithsonian Institution observed, while
travelling in the Malay peninsula, a species of
small gray ants that new to him. These
ants much engaged in travelling; they lived
in damp places, and went in troops. To the scen-
lists great SURPRISE he noticed among them from
time to time occasional ant that was much
larger than the Others and moved at much
esting fact that this larger ant invariably carried
of the gray ants on its back.
The scientist noted down many interesting facts
with regard to their movements. He found that
while the main body of gray ants always
foot they accomp anied by at least of their
sort mounted of these larger ants. 1t
mounted and detached itself now and then from the
line rode rapidly to the head, swiftly Back to
the rear and seemed to be the commander of the
expedition.
The scientist soon satisfied that this species
of ant employs larger ant POSSIBLY drone of the
same species, though he had no of proving
ths) as employ horses to ride upon; though
as a rule only ant in each colony seemed to
be provided with a mount
Some ants maintain others in their service
servants or slaves. Certain warrior ants of South
America confne their own physical efforts to radng
and plunderng, while all the ordinary offices of life
are performed for them by slaves. The little gray
ants of the Malay Peninsula appear to be a more
industrious race, though they appreciate the great
convenience of having horseback ), among
them.

possessing than the ordinary share of that &c
centricity which usually accompanies genius, she
has met many strange adventures during the
course of her extensive travels. She has journeyed
all over North and South America, and has written
several remarkable works on Brazil, and also about
the United States which she has visited repeatedly
and studied extensively.
Indeed, the books, which bear their title page
the name of Theodore Won Bayer" as author, have
for her all of scientific distinctions, in
Guiding membership of the Royal Academy of
Bavaria and the degree of Doctor of Phology of the
University of Munich While held in high esteem
by the various learned societies. it cannot be said
that she is very popular among the reignng families
of Europe who regard her too eccentric for their
taste. Indeed the only crowned head who mani
tested any admiration and sympathy for her was
the late Emperor Pedro of Brazil Others are likely
regard her arrival in their capitals as source of
embarrassment.
Especially was this the case one occasion at the
Court of Lisbon when she landed there from South
America with number of wild beasts and noisy
animals in her train, comprising young puma,
three monkeys, several parrots, and couple of
trained snakes. Naturally, hotels are disinclned

money matters as the Princess. So she is usually
reduced, at any rate in Europe, to seek the hospi
tally of her royal relatives.
King Louis Philippe, while still Duke of Orleans,
spent several years here engaged IN teaching school,
in the neighborhood of New York, at the beginning
of the last century, and the archives of the French
consulate general in New York contain, so | am
informed, many interesting letters from the great
Taeyrand, then Minister of Foreign Affairs at
Paris relating to the necessity of keeping a watch
upon the movements of the Prince who after
ward to ascend the throne of France While here,
the identity of the Duke was known to only a few;
after his unsuccessful attempt to the crown
of France, likewise avoided recognition during his
stay here of several months.
Many other instances could be cited OF royal
personages who have visited the United States in
cognito and who have devoted not merely weeks,
but months, to travelling about the country in every
direction making themselves acquainted with
American life and conditions, and mingling freely
among the people, without anyone being aware OF
their rank In fact, their in escaping recog
milton is all the surprising when it is borne in
mind that their features must have been familiar
at any rate to of their countrymen established
this side of the Atlantic, and also to Americans
who have lived abroad
There are two occasions, however, that L can
recall where the veil of secrecy has been drawn aside
in connection with visits of this kind in recent years.
One that of the reigning Grand Duke of
Oldenburg, who quilted his dominons without in
forming anyone of his intentions, and suddenly
turned up in New York under the name of Herr
Lehnsan. Compelled to admit his identity, he ex-
planned that he had merely crossed the ocean in
order to Niagara, and after flying visit to the
falls, he reembarked for Germany.

Cuttlefsh Milk

noes anyone know that cuttlefish cultivated
- on farms to be MIXED? These cuttlefsh farms
located on the coasts of Great Britain, and the
cuttefsh are kept in tanks ponds, to be MIXED
of their ink. The pond or tank is connected with
the sea by pipe, and thousand or more cuttles
are kept in single

into the water, and it would therefore be lost This
fluid milk is very valuable, and cutie will yield
about three dollars worth year. 1t is secreted in
a bag which be opened and closed at WILL the
cutie ejecting the fluid to darken the water that
it may escape unseen when attacked.
The best ,cuttlefish procured in China where
for other they produce the best
quality of milk. When the farmer considers it
opportune to milk the cuttles he proceeds by open
ing the suices of the pond and gently agtating the
water. The cuttles then swim around the pond, and
as soon passes through, the sluce is closed.
The cutie passes down a small channel into basin
metal receptacle, and it is securely
there the water is drained off 1t is then frightened
and at once squirts the fluid from the bag. When
it is exhausted is lifted out, the milk is collected,
and the basin prepared for another.

Visit of Princess Aribert

her husband. Forced by his conduct to leave him,
she came over here with single attendant, under
the name of Countess Munsterberg" but in order

Princess Christian, arranged by cable that she should
be met by friends on her arrival in New York, and
that she should be the unofficial guest of Lord and
Lady Pauncefote while in Washington. 1t was only
after reaching that city that her identity as the
granddaughter of Queen Victoria became matter
of public knowledge.
Besides these, there have been during the past
two hundred years not few royal personages who
have sought either temporary or permanent refuge
in America. When the anointed of the Lord have

A Novel Photograph

TT is an odd achievement to have caused a wild
deer to take its own portrait, feat recently &C
COmplished by one of the Government naturalists
during a scientific mission to California.
The ingenious scientist conceived the -idea of
causing wild animal to take flash light photograph
of itself it passed along trail in the Coast range
Of mountains secure under cover of night.
The scientist set up camera short distance from
deer trail and connected the shutter and flash
light materials with trap. When the deer stepped

the animal as it was startled by the sudden flash

Ages in the Animal Kingdom
A GREAT variance as to length of life appears
n among different animals Some insects live
for only a few hours while fish, elephants, and
turtles are frequently centenarians. The average
life of the mosquito is three days Toads usually live
to the age of about fifteen years, while carp have
been known to reach one hundred and fifty.
Chickens live from twelve to fifteen years; dogs
the age of ten and occasionally fifteen and parrots
age These birds have been known to pass
the age of two hundred years Turtles also fire.
quently centenarans, storks and elephants
said to reach the age of three hundred years. Whales
have been known to live for four hundred years.
Birds as Surgeons
CPORTSMEN declare that game birds possess the
~ faculty of skfully dressing wounds and even
setting bones, using their feathers for bandages
Authentic instances recorded of sportsmen
having killed birds that were recovering from wounds
previously received and in every case the old wound
was neatly dressed with down plucked from the stem
feathers and skilfully arranged, doubt by the
beaks of the birds In instances solid plaster
was formed, completely covering and protecting the
wounded part, the feathers being netted together
passing alternately under and above each other and
forming to speak, textile fabric of considerable
power.
