not altogether hacking in Importance

able from every point of view If that
question, What is a democratic"
could be answered with a description
Of an organization definite and atfr-
NATIVE in purpose and held together
by reason of its traditional principles
and sympathics and common purposes
rather than answered as the present
conditions OF the several divisions Of
the democrat party would compel.

PIES NEW WEAPON FOR DUEL.
Indiana Men Fight Twenty Minutes
with Pastry of Varied Hues.

Chicago.-They fought for 20 min
utes as If the purse were the wealth
OF Rockefeller, then they were a sight
such as two duelists seldom present
for they ha dfought with pies. Apple,
blueberry. mince and pumpkin pies,
perhaps rs were used in the duel.
The combatants were Thomas Dug
gan and r. G. Oxley of Indiana Har-
Dor, and the fight took place in Mar.
tins bakery in that town. They we're
slightly intoxicated, and they got into
dispute over some work in the steel
mill where they were employed. Dug
gan picked up his half-eaten piece of
pie and slammed 1t in Oxley's ear.
The battle was on. Oxley ran be-
hind one pie case and hurled a mince
pie at his assailant. and Duggan re.
turned the fire with a pumpkin pie.
Martin protested. and both antag-
onists splashed pie all over him. Then
he called the police, but the duel be.
tween Duggan and Oxley were mer-
rily on. Two patrolmen arrived. In
the name of the law they command.

got pumpkin pie smeared over their
blue suits.
The contest ended only when the
bakery had been emptied of its pies

BIG MONKEYS ROUND OF FUN.
Leads an Exciting Chase and scares
Many Girls.

Bayonne, N. Y.-Teddy, big ring
tailed monkey, escaped from its cage
in Melville park and created panic
A dozen girls shrieked. picked up their
skirts and hot-footed it. Teddy visited
the skating rink and caused some of
the fastest skating on record.
Manager Melville and several en-
ployes appeared with lassoes, pitch
forks and guns. The monkey climbed
an electric light pole, sat on a cross
piece and grinned. Then he began to
give an exhibition as an athlete. He
hung head down by the tail, then
walked the wire on his hind feet.
When pressed close by his pursuers
Teddy darted down the pole, sprang
over the heads of his would-be captors
and took to the road. Two automo-
biles came in sight. Teddy jumped
on the back of one of them and rode
block, making grimaces at the
frightened women occupants. The
chauffeur chased him off with a cane.
He went into clump of woods, where
he was captured.

Native Naturalist Advises How to Dis
arm the Deadly Rather.

Nashville. Tenn.-Anybody who can
whistle need not fear a rattlesnake, is
the dictum of John It. Shelton, of
Petersburg, Tenn
Nobody in Petersburg has ever tried
whistling in any emergency of the
kind, but even Naturalist John Bur
roughs would not be able to convince
them that it would be a dangerous
expedient
Jack" Shelton is a man of authority
In those parts. He carries a gun to
back up any statements that may be
contradicted, and therefore no one has
ever successfully combated him or
found him guilty of nature fake"
Consequently when he dropped into
the office of his town paper, the editor
evidently gave him all the space he
needed to enunciate his ideas on the
application of the whistle to the
rattler.
Should you ever encounter a rattle
snake" said Shelton, and it was all
put In cold type forthwith, don't you
be afraid. Don't fight him. Just
whistle softly-ever so softly-just as
though you were rocking baby to

SILVER TO MAKE BOY TALK.
Unusual Operation to Be Performed
on Injured Boy.

New York.-Physicians attached to
Bellevue hospital will perform an op-
Grafton on 12-year-old boy, who
through an accident few days ago,
lost the power of speech. 1t is hoped
that when the operation is completed
the boys speech will be restored.
While playing with crowd of boys
in Fourth street, Joseph H. Gleicher,
IL years old, of 143 Goerck street,
was struck on the head with a piece
of coal. An ambulance was called and
the 10y was taken to a hospital suf-
fering from concussion of the brain
and a depression of the skull behind
the right ear.
Drs. Sears, Rice and Woodbridge
found that the muscles and nerves
about the boys mouth were para
lyzed. The lad, however. was in full
possession of his other faculties and
wrote on a piece of paper what he
wanted and also sent messages to his
relatives. Later the surgeons per-
formed an operation that resulted in
the boy being able to move his lips.
The surgeons are elated over their
success and say they expect that
when they remove portion of the
boys skull and substitute silver
plate the boy will regain his speech.

Dor. with which began one of the In
teresting epochs in American history.
"The Philadelphia, sister ship OF
the Baltimore. was never sent far
from home waters. Originally square
rigged, military masts were substi-
tuted on account of top-heaviness.
Good management. coupled with good
fortune. prevented her from absolute
ly turning turtle on more than one oc-
casion.
THE Texas was looked on as con-
siderable OF a hoodoo until she re-
deemed her reputation at the battle
OF Santiago. Prior to the Spanish
war she partly sunk at the Cob dock
in Brooklyn, owing to sea valve
working loose aud flooding her almost
to the spar deck" A lovely widow
from New Jersey used to kick the
ceilings of the Texas with the tips of
her toes, and every time she made a
clean touch a lieutenant marked the
spot with blue pencil. The ships
insides took on a cerulean hue.
THE Chicago" continued Mr.. Ed
wards, though considered one of the
best built ships in the navy, and thor
oughly seaworthy, was continually in
misfortune on account of defective
machinery and boilers. She never
made more than 10 or IL knots, that
being her fastest time consistent with
safety. A noble ship to gaze upon, the
Chicago was called the Lame White
Swan OF the navy. Equipped with
triple expansion engines, as she has
now been for several years. there is
probably no better second-class cruiser
in commission to-day. Her crews in
the early days were never well con-
tented. The desertions were many,
and the men were constantly up to
the mast for various infractions of
discipline. On the European cruise of
1S93-1S95 considerable friction existed
between some of the principal officers,
and just before that cruise half a
dozen marines got into serious trou-
BILE while on special duty ashore at
La Kuayra. and were sent to the navy
prison in Boston. The officer of the
marines was put on the retired list,
as he was believed to be partly at
fault for his men getting into the
scrape.
THE Baltimore had much better
fortune. On the occasion of her de-
tail to carry to Sweden, his native
land, the body of John Ericsson (who
might be called the father of the bat
tleship) a great ovation was given to
the Baltimore. and a valuable souvenir
medal commemorating the event was
presented by King Oscar to every man
on board. from the captain down. No
ship that sailed the seas ever had a
greater honor conferred upon her,
bearing as she did the earthly re-
mains of the greatest inventor in the
history of naval architecture.
