who now protest against the action of
the vest-pocket caucus have good
grounds for protest. Whether an indie
pendent move, however, will accom-
plish the defeat of the caucus nomi-
ness or not, depends upon the charac.
ter of the Independent move. Should
1T appear, for instance, that the Re-
IS likely hat many Democrats would
be so prejudiced as to prefer "swal.
lowing the dose" for the sake of par
ty regularity.
In truth, however, it appears to be
the Democrats themselves who are
conducting the fight against the eau
Il nominees, and the Republicans are
taking no part in the strife. This be-
ing the case, The Record sees no
good reason why the voters should
be deprived of the right to declare
their choice at the polls. Harmony
cannot be promoted by submission to
the plans of a minor faction hat has
been repeatedly downed at the polls
every time the whole people had an
opportunity to express themselves.

ocrats Of Roswell are in favor of in
dependent action. though many of
them are afraid TO openly say so.
we say let the proposed mass meet

is in the hands of the people at the

A Corruption Admitted.

Mr.. Ryan of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company has ad-
mitted on the witness stand that
his company contributed 100000
to the campaign in 1900. AS part
OF this sum was, according to MIR.
Ryan, used to prevent Mr.. Bryan's
nomination, it is quite evident that
tho rest was used to defeat him af-
ter the nomination. When one cor
poration and that a local one
gives more money to a national cam
paign than the democrats We're able
to collect from some six million and
a half Of voters the American peo-
pie ought to get some idea of the
corrupting. influence of predatory
wealth. These contributions are not
gifts, they are inve stments. The,

for the future delivery of the gov

THE oDoR OF sANclTY.
A French Writer'S Theory Of How II
May Be Exuded BY Man.

a -
DR.. Georges Dumas is the author Of
an article In the Revue de Paris on
The odor of Sanctity." The writer
accepts as true the numerous reported
instances of saints and mystics of the
Catholic church whose bodies after
death or during moments of ecstasy
emitted peculiarly pleasing odors Of
various kinds. Then men and women
with whom such legends deal, argues
Dr. Dumas. We're neurnsthenes, and It
Is not impossible that the aroma Of
sanctity which surrounded them was
the product of strictly physiological
aud chemical changes common to all
men. but present in highly Intensified
form In Subjects who. so to speak,
burned mp the candle OF their existence
nj M unusually rapid rate. He says In
snatt
sar.e tlsenswe have come across .
great variety OF perfumes cinnamon,
glove. orange. pineapple. rose. violet,
lily Of the valley. yellow amber and
benzoin. Now. the natural constitu-
tion Of all Of these is well known, and
chemistry produces them daily for com.
mercial purposes. We may therefore
substitute the equivalent chemical ex-
pressions for the ordinary terms we
have employed and say that orange,
cinnamon. violet and musk owe their
perfume to aldehydes and acetones,
aromatic liquids derived from the alco-
hols. just as the artificial essence of
pineapple comes from butyric ether.
We have. then. to ask whether the hu-
man body can produce odorous COM
pounds of the kind we have mentioned
and under what conditions. AS mat
ter Of fact, it does produce a certain
number of such compounds in the de-
struction Of organic matter, which Is
the constant condition OF life, in par
ticular acetones and the volatile fatty
acids. butyric. formic. acetic. etc. II
the process of combustion is normal all
these constituents are burned up, COM
pletely oxidized. and give as q residue
water. carbonic acid and urea. But let
some slackening occur in the inmost
nutrition of the tissues and the same
constituents will escape through the
breath. perspiration aud the skin"

HER FIRST SPEECH.
I Wasn't the One She Learned, but
Il Won the Crowd.

It Wasn't the One She Learned, but
Il Won the Crowd.
1t was the first appearance in public
of Ada C. Sweet of Chicago, United
States commissioner of pensions under
President Grant and one of the first
women in the movement for equal po-
litical rights for the sexes. When the
civil war broke out she was living with.
her parents in the village of Lombard,
now n suburb of Chicago, and was
chosen to present to the boys of the
Lombard company II silk flag which the
women of the place had made with
their own fair hands.
The literary woman of the village
had written for the occasion beauti.
ful presentation speech, In which the
soldiers We're adjured to take the fair
flag into which your wives, daughters
and sweethearts have sewed fond hopes
and fearful prayers for your safe re-
turn, carry 1t through the smoke and
shell of battle free from the stain of
dishonor and the rents Of defeat and
bear 1t home victorious ut the end Of
the war"
II thought" says Miss Sweet, that
I had learned that piece up and down.
backward and forward, inside and out.
but on the great day itself, when the
band ceased playing and an awful
hush fell upon the crowd and every
face was turned expectantly up to
mine, 1t was different. l opened my
mouth-and paused. The literary lady
creaked forward in her chair apd whis.
pered Jouiily. 'Sol,iiers of, Lon bard
- .saisia "a ttAy llisper Went through me. like
"a knife. but left me still speechless- \
set my teeth, stepped decisiyely for.
ward and pushed the flag into the
hands of the nearest soldier. Then j
spoke. Every word Of that speech had
left me, but knew what 1t meant.
Soldiers of Lombard l said in q
desperate voice that must have been
heard to the utmost confines Of the
crowd. here's your flag! Don't get 1t
dirty! Don't tear 1t! And be sure to
bring it backv
"a shout rose from that crowd such
as no orator before or since has ever
evoked from crowd in those parts.
The first thing l knew was riding on
the shoulders of two soldiers, Willie
the whole company pressed about me,
with waving hats, and my father was
leaning over toward me from the back
of his big horse and calling me his
own original GIRL Willie the tears
rolled down his cheeks with laughter
"As long as lived in the village of
Lombard never dared to meet square
ly the vengeful eyes of the literary lady
who had written that presentation
speech."-St. Louis Republic.

MAGIC MIRRORS.
Peculiar Effect. In Som. Of the Pol
ished Bronze Rsfisetors.


Now and then mirrors of curious
kind are seen in Europe. They are
called "magic mirrors" and are Of Jap
anese origin. made not OF glass silver.
ed. but of cast bronze, polished on the
face and bearing on the back raised
patterns, inscriptions, symboiical de-
signs, crests or pictures. When ex
posed to bright beam of light from
the sun or from IN electric lamp they
reflect in the light from their polished
face the image Of the pattern on their
backs.
This is n purely optical property and
has Of course nothing in common with
the fortune telling magic crystals Of
the astrologer or the alleged magic
mirrors of necromancy. yet it long puz-
zled the scientific optician and even
now is little known or believed. The
researches Of various scientific men
have established the fact that the phe-
nomenon Is due to very minute differ
ences of curvature In the polished face,
differences SO minute that they do not
affect the ordinary use of the mirror
as looking glass and that can be de.
tected only by delicate optical tests.
The only remaining mystery has
been us to how these delicate differ
ences of curvature were produced in
exact correspondence to the pattern on
the back. The makers themselves are
often in ignorance of the magic prop
erty and do not know which Of their
mirrors possess it and which do not

erward polished by hand, and 1t Is
held by scientific men that the differ.
ence of curvature is caused by the met

sure of the tools used in scraping and
polishing, the thin parts naturally
bending more than the thick. This &C.
counts for the mirrors becoming
magic.-Chicago News.
