CONVENTION
SIDELIGHTS
WBAL TZMORE
By THEODORE TILLER.

BALTIMORE, July 1.
1t Is said that Southerners revel in
titles, and yet the case of Cato Sells,
the picturesque Texas Democrat, is
proof that sometimes fellow likes to
hear his first name called. as in the old
days, when he trudged beside an irate
parent on the way to the woodshed.
Colonel Sells dropped beside a marble
pillar in the Belvedere when Judge Mar
tin Wade. the national committeeman
from Iowa. happened along.
cato, how goes it?'' asked Wade.
I'm all in said Sells, but do you
know you've done me good by calling
me Cato. Down in Texas the boys all
call me Judge, and / like to hear my
name once in a while"
Cato showed a revival of spirits fol-
some moments after Committeeman
Wade had ambled along.

During his speech Giddinss said he
would go back to Oklahoma with a
clear conscience, and meet his constitu-

Progressive Needed.

1.-The leader and the harmonizer are
two entirely different persons, and Mr..
Clark chose to be the latter. There are
times when the harmonizer Is the most
available candidate, but the situation
is different now.
"The country Is alive with progress
sive ideas, and progressivism having
been defeated in Chicago, two or three
millions of Republicans are following
the proceedings of this convention and
waiting to see whether they can use the
Democratic party for the rebuking OF
stand-pat Republicanism or be forced to
organize a new party.
"Mr. Clark's first mistake was in at
| tempting to overlook the radical differ
ence which exists in the Democratic
party between the progressives and the
reactionaries. His second mistake was
in selecting managers who sought tC
| advance his cause by manipulation
rather than by the candid appeal which
| befits the present hour.
After permitting considerable
! number of reactionaries to come into
| the convention under instructions, these
| managers endeavored to win votes by
| 'ng up with the reactionary elemen
of the convention
| while Mr.. Clark himself remained
neutral in the fight between Judge Par
| ker and myself for temporary chairman
his managers were working like beavers
for Judge Parker"

course of a year each makes as much

At the Democratic convention two of
the official reporters remain upon the
platform and alternate in taking the

popping up all the time to object to
something or to propose something, the

Factory Lighting.

special report on illumination In
factories states that as regards arti.
hcial illumination there seems to be
little to chose between lighting by
electric glow lamps and by modern
systems of incandescent gas. Elec-
trio light has the advantage Of being
constant and requiring little attention
beyond the systematic busting and
renewal of lamps. The gas systems
generally produce a winter and more
powerful light that electric current.
but the units are apt to vary much
In efficiency, owing TO the liability Of
the mantle to deteriorate. Careful at
tention, therefore, is required to re-
place any that show signs Of weak
ness. Electric light, of course, causes
no vitiation Of the atmosphere; but
in the modern systems of gas lighting
the amount Of gas burnt is so small
and the combustion so complete that
the effect on the air is minimized.
For the perfect local lighting of any
point OF work the three following con.
ditions must be fulfilled: % The IL.
Elimination must be adequate, (2)
glare" effects must be absent, and
CD no troublesome shadows must be
cast on the work.

New York poIIce Mascot.

In addition to its Official yaller dos"
mascot, Bum, the old Mulberry street
police station has acquired another
dog, known as Peg Post He is also
of an ochre tint, and his mysterious
behavior has baffled the wisest sleuths
in the station. When the men begin
their tours on the stationary or pes"
posts at ten o'clock at night, the dog
comes trotting from somewhere and
takes up his station with whichever
policeman on duty in the precinct suits
his fancy for that particular night.
Frequently he changes from one post
to another, and remains on watch
until the stationary posts give way
to regular patrol at six in the morn
ing. Then he trots away, and is not
seen until the next night. Offers OF
tidbits from the mems lunches have
been repeatedly refused by Peg Post
and his agility has thus far prevented
any one from learning the number of
the dog license he wears on his collar.

INSANITY AND THE "BlUES"
Detection Generally Due to Disor-
dered Stomach or Liver, and
Not the Brain.

1t is announced that among the
minor forms of mental disorder that
are to be studied at Johns Hopkins
university is that Familiarity known as
"the blues the New York World re-
marks. 1t is argued that the dejec-
ton is due to a species of insanity,
mild indeed at the beginning but liable
to become dangerous AS one author
fly puts 1t, the disease is so slight as
not to be noticed except by those very
close to the sufferers. 1t Is the pur-
pose of the experimenters to make 1t
the subject of suggestive treatment"
We have here what has every ap-
pearance Of being another attempt to
account learnedly something that
isn't so. The detection known as "the
blues" has It's seat generally In the
stomach or In the liver rather than
In the brain. Suggestive treatment
by the ablest OF alienists CT hypnotists
or even Chr istian scientists would not
do the patient half SO much good as a
dose Of calomel followed by a sane
system of eating and living.
Furthermore. the man to whom ev-
erything looks blue Is not more crazy
than the man 20 whom everything
looks rosy The victim of blues doesn't
buy gold bricks or speculate with
trust funds or organize third parties
Why, then, accuse him of insanity

The Strangest of Birds.

The German emperor was lately the
recipient Of pair of very curious
birds from the East Indies. The spe-
cies is nearly extinct, and it is said
that an effort will be made to prevent
their becoming entirely so by enforc-
ing the laws against hunting them.
These birds always travel in pairs
and are hardly ever separated. The
beak of the male is short and strong
while that of the female is fine, long
and curved. The males work is to
break with his strong bill the tough
bark of trees in order that his mate
may introduce her pointed beak into
the holes dug into the trunk by in
sects and so extract food When the
male detects an insect haunt" he lays
1t bare and the female pulls forth the
prey with her beak, divides it in two,
gives the male his portion and eats
The other, continuing the process I'M
