Indignation of Amos J. Cummings was
Aroused When He Was Asked to
Help Defeat His Friend
From Ohio.

Early in 1890 the Democratic leg
isIature of Ohio, in redistricting the
state for the national house of repre-
sentatives, carved out very peculiar,
irregular and ragged district, so far as
boundaries were concerned, which was
to be the new district in which VIII
liam Mckinley was to be the Republ1-
can candidate for congress. The accu-
sation was commonly made that the
district had been so bounded and de-
fined as to bring within it such large
proportion of Democratic voters as
would make the defeat of Mckinley In
evitable. Whether that was the pur-
pose or not of those who redistricted
McKinley's home district, it was the
result, and for the first time William
Mckinley was defeated for reelection
to congress- That occurred in the fall
of 1890.
1t so happened that at this congress
sional election the late Amos j. Cum
mings was a candidate for reelection
as a Democrat from one of the New
York city districts. There was only
nominal Republican opposition to Cum
mings, since he had gained great popu-
larity with all his constituents, being

Mr.. oliver, who is one of the
wealthiest men in Pittsburg, has found

institution.
On the land, which is thirty miles
from Pittsburg, will be built cottages
which will accommodate twenty boys.
A head farmer will look after the
youngsters.
The present plan for the home is to
build central colony of five cottages
around machine, carpenter and black
smith shops, where boys who want
to learn trades will be grouped. Re-
moved, however, from this central
group will be fifteen other cottages.
They will be occupied by boys who
want to be farmers. 1t is not the IN

Ohio Physicist Gives Old Newton

which it falls, rather than to pull
ing power from the earth on the
falling body.
Doctor Brush established the con-
verse theory that the energy exhibited
in the gravitation is fully restored to
the ether when the body is raised
against the gravitation attraction.
Doctor Brush assumes the ether to be
endowed with a vast intrinsic kinetic
energy, which is in wave form and is
translated to the atoms or molecules.
In his paper on the "Kinetic Theory
Of Gravitation," read before the
physics section of the scientists con-
vention, Doctor Brush, after discus
sing at length the origin of the en-
ergy acquired by falling body, con-
cludes that the gathered energy
comes from the ether through which
the body falls. Conversely" said
Doctor Brush, equivalent energy is
restored to the ether when the body
is raised against gravitation attrac-
ton
The ether is assumed to be en-
dowed with vast intrinsic kinetic en-
ergy in wave form. The waves are OF
such low frequency, or otherwise OF
such character, that they pass
through the bodies without obstruc-
ton other than that concerned In
gravitation They are propagated In
straight lines in every conceivable
direction, so that the wave energy is
isotropic, being in this respect ike

furnace with uniformly heated walls.
Distribution of the ether's intrinsic
energy is uniform throughout the uni
verse as modified by the presence OF
matter. Any kind of ether waves ca

atoms or molecules of matter will full
fill the requirements.
Atoms are imagined 10 De conClA-

because neighboring atoms follow

moving atoms are lkened to particles
of a precipitate suspended in turbu-
lent water.
Each atom or molecule is regarded
as a center of activity, due to its
kinetic energy of translation derived
initially from the ether. There is
continual absorption and restitution OF
the ether's energy, normally equal in
amount. But the ether is permanent

FIRM GRIP OF BULL-FlGHTING
sport" Continues to Amuse People OF
Southern France, Despite Efforts
of Officials.

Paris-The extent to which the
practice or sport of bull-fghting
still exists in the south Of France,
despite all the efforts of the authori-
ties to stamp it out, is little known by
the rest of the world. A meeting was
recently held at Beziers of those inter-
ested in the spectacles and protest
drawn up against the bill of the minis
ter of Justice which provides for the
punishment by fine and imprisonment
of those connected with bull fights.
1t developed at this meeting that
there are 27 associations for the pro-
motion of bull-fghting in the south
of France, with a total membership
of $4,000. According to the protest
the bill would interfere with the ia
yorite pastime of these and many
more people, would be check to the
liberties of the south and would be
against the interests of the country.
Nevertheless there is an excellent
chance of the bill becoming law.

Famous Scotch Author Told Emerson
He Sought Steed With Money
From American Sales of
His Books.

n college days we were told that al
though many other English writer's
prcfessed to regard the United States
either with condescension or with con-
tempt. at least so far as literature was
concerned. Thomas Carlyle was espe-
ci&liy friendly to this country, and
numbered among the closest Of his in
Inmates several Americans, principally
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
1t is a we'll known fact that Carlyle
was especially attracted to Emerson
because the Sage of Concord was the
first American to speak with approval,
even with enthusiasm, of the writings
of Carlyle. And when Emerson made
his first visit to England in 1888, he
called upon Carlyle and was most cor
daily received, the beginning of a per-
sonal intimacy which was maintained
by correspondence for many years.
Shortly after he arrived in London
Emerson set out to call upon Carlyle
at his home in Cheyne Row, near the
Chelsea hospital, London. Just before
he reached the house, he saw horse
led up to the door, and the long-legged
and gaunt Scotchman descend the
sters. mount the horse and ride away;
Emerson mat have been somewhat as
tonished. since he had in all probablll-
ty never dreamed of Carlyle as a man
who took any exercise. At all events,
Emerson, calling again a few hours
later was fortunate in finding Carlyle
at home. and after little, ventured to
speak to Carlyle about his horseback
ride
Did We take heed O. me?" Carlyle
exclaimed. 'Weel, sometimes get
astride me horse and take cante,

Described As Always Smoking, He
Told Row, Though Lighting His
Cigar Frequently, the Number
He Consumed Was Small.

After Judge Charles J. Folger, while
secretary of the treasury, had been
nominated for governor of New York,
IN 1882, it was made apparent that, by
reason OF certain fractional quarrels
IN the Republican party for which he
was not responsible. the danger was
grave that Grover Cleveland, then
mayor of Buffalo, would defeat him at
the November election 1t was neces-
sary for those who were managing
the Republican campaign to call forth
TIE utmost resources of the party, and
lor that reason they decided to urge
General Grant to preside at a great
campaign meeting which was to be
held at the Metropolitan opera house,
IN New York city.
Gen. George H. Sharpe, who in the
Civil war had served upon the staff of
General Meade, where he had been
brought into close relations with Gen
eTal Grant and who afterwards was
speaker of the assembly at Albany.
and Capt. Frederick c. Wagner, who
gained a great reputation in New
York at the time of the draft riots in
1858, were appointed a committee to
call upon General Grant, and ask him
to preside at the meeting AS a re-
suit of that interview, these two Re-
publicans incidentally learned some
thing Of which they before had had
no knowledge They obtained from
General Grant full explanation as to
his smoking habits.
1t happened in this way: The com
mittee said to General Grant that the
party would esteem 1t a great honor
If he would preside at the ratification
meeting at the Metropolitan opera
house. Thereupon, the general took
a cigar which had been lighted, but
had gone out, from his lips, lighted it,
and said:
1T would give me the greatest
pleasure to preside at this meeting,
but l have an imperative engagement
at Philadelphia with Mr.. Drexel. I
cannot break it. 1 will, however, glad
ly write a letter, telling Of my earn
est hope of the election of Judge Fol-
ger as governor"
By this time the fire in General
Grants Cigar had deadened, and he
again lighted 1t, and began a little
chat with his friends.
At last one of the committee ven
tured to say: General, I see you still
are fond of the cigar"
Taking the cigar from his lips, Gen
eral Grant pointed to it. Look at
that cigar" he said. You see, it's

and sometimes ! walk the city streets.
Did we hear how got me horse?"
OF course, Emerson was interested,
saying that he would be pleased to
learn the story.
Eye can't imagine the name he has"
said Carlyle, $50 I'll tell ye, His name
is Yankee and Yankee he is, for it
was with Yankee money he was
bought. It's the sole quadruped in all
London that is Yankee by name.
Some of my books were better
bought by your Yankee friends than
they were in England or in Scotland.
They said to me that some of the peo-
pie in America had better under
standing of the meaning in my books
than my friends in England.
'Weel, however that may be, the
booksellers sold my books in Yankee
land, and they sent me much money
in payment therefor. So, at that time
my doctor said to me, Drive away
your dyspepsia by horseback riding
And / searched the marts, and made
infinite inquiry, and at last they
showed me a horse that was worth
while, they said.
'eWeel, when I tried him, I found
they had told me the truth, so l said:
Horse, it is with Yankee money l
buy We, and for that reason Yankee
shall be your name And so it is that
| ride my horse Yankee and think
of my American friends"
When Emerson heard this anecdote
first hand he for the first time realized
that Thomas Carlyle was man of in
finite humor And when he returned
to America he recounted the incident
to Thoreau, who. in his journal, states
briefly the fact that Emerson told him
that Carlyle rode about on a horse
which he had named Yankee"

Republican friends, and they invited
him to take luncheon with them, for he
had long been very friendly with them.
After the luncheon was ended, the par
| ty slowly strolled from the clubhouse,
when, all of a sudden, a man stopped
Cummings and endeavored to whisper
in his ear.
Talk out loud" said Cummings.
Tell me what you have got to say
right here"
but it is about politics., said the
man, whom all recognized as Demo
cratic politician, land these men are
Republicans"
THAT doesn't make any difference"
Cummings replied. "They are friends
of mine What is it you want?"
"Well, Amos, word has just been
received at headquarters that the man
ayers out in McKinleys district want
you to go out there and make several
speeches for the Democratic candidate
| for congress"
What! l go out into McKinley's dis
trict and stump against him? l tell you
that man is one of the few Republican
members of congress who has every
Democratic member for friend. He
has never played false with the Demo
Gratis, or with anybody else
Cummings voice was now at high
pitch. Its the biggest fool business
that l have known Democrats to do
since | knew anything about politics, !"
he cried, Indignantly. Here they
have gone to work in Ohio and banked
up a district for the purpose of killing
Mckinley, politically. They are going
to defeat him, but I'll have no part in
! it. You go back to headquarte4 and
tell them that Cummings says that
they are going to defeat Mckinley for
congress, but in that defeat will come
his victory, for he will be surely elect
ed next year governor of Ohio, and
will as certainly be elected president
of the United States"
The amazed politician ventured mild
ly to suggest: Suppose they insist,
after l tell them what you have said,
Oh your going to Ohio and stumping
against Mckinley"
ZIP they do" shouted Cummings,
you can tell them for me that they
can all go to h. I'd rather be de-
