Baltimore, June 24.-There is going to be merry fight here in the Demo- cratic national convention from the want to do" William J. Bryan, and his friends are fairly 'itching" for such a scrap. If it be true, as report ed, that Thomas F. Ryan has come to town to help elect Alton B. Parker temporary chairman, then Bryan will have all the needed ammunition sup piled gratis. The situation is such that some believe Bryan may become a candidate against Parker
 In all the gossip, and it is endless, two things stand out: First, William J. Bryan may not have been deliber- ately slapped when Alton B. Parker was recommended for temporary chairman, but now that he has object ed to the "mussing up" given him, the skipping will be made real by the national committee accepting the Parker recommendation. The nation al committee stands 26 conservative to 26 progressive, but it is known that several of the progressives resent Bry- ans interference, and will join with the conservatives in selecting Parker.
 Second, the feeling grows that Champ Clark has been used without his consent, be it insisted, by the Har- mon managers, who will throw much of Clark's strength to Harmon at the proper time
 Thomas F. Ryan is said to be a guest of ex-Gov Warfeld. It is i'm possible to get any confirmation of the report at the Warfield home, but it is known that Ryan has been planning to come here, and that his arrival has been expected daily.
 Alton B. Parker is recognized as one of Ryan's highly paid counsel, as is Elihu Root, temporary chairman of the Chicago convention, and it is un- derstood that Ryan had much to do with the selection of Parker for tenn porary chairman. The progressives call his selection a Ryan-Belmont scheme to control the convention and insure a platform and candidate fla vorable to Wall street interests. It is this supposed intrusion of Ryan and Wall street in the affairs of the con- vention that is agitating some of the committeeman and delegates, and it is believed that Bryan's opposition to Parker will be much more strongly supported if the Ryan influence is ot- served to be working for the selection of the temporary chairman. On the other hand, there is a considerable element that favors Parker for the simple reason that he is Ryan's choice and that therein lies promise of lib- eral campaign fund

SINGER HAD UNcANNY POWER
Had e~orsonIIkS Ability to Stay TheSs
Upon Whom Hls Gaze
Fell.

Among the Hindus and especially
those belonging to the Yogi school
II thought, many phenomena, unac-
countable by western standards OF
knowledge, are accepted as matter OF
course. A writer in the Hindoo
Spiritual Magazine says that the i'm
possible becomes possible to one who
has practiced a steady gaze, and in
stances a strange story of an opera
singer, named Massol, who was a
popular favorite in the Paris of Ma
poleon III. Although Massol was
a man Of small intellect, he had a
wonderful voice and an eye which
slew. During his rendering of the
curse aria in the opera of "King
Charles w." if his eye fell acciden-
tally upon anyone in the audience OF
on the stage, that person died. After
he had killed a scene shifter, the
leader of the orchestra and an unfor'
tunate merchant from Marseilles
the opera was excluded from tht
repertoire. The writer Of the article
says the science and practice of 9Th
gaze" is known among the Hindu
as ''Trataka Yoga," and that tn,
killing of small birds by its mean
is a not unusual power of its deyo
tees.

ELEcTIoNEERlNe IN ALASKA.

It takes the Alaskan delegate
nearly a year to cover his district in
a campaign. He reaches the coast
cities by boat, goes down the Yukon
to the interior, and goes in as far
as time and facilities permit to the
interior camps. So closely is the
population packed in the settled dis
tricts, however, that he is able to tell
by midnight Of election day, from
the telegraphed reports from the
more important cities, whether or
not he has been elected.

OYSTER FISHING IN MEXICO
Immense Quantities Of Shells Are An.
nually Used in Making Shell
Lime.

Operations connected with the oy-
ster fishing in Mexico are very sim
ole, as in many Of the lagoons the
water is so shallow that the fisher
men simply step down into the wa
ter, which will reach not much above
the middle of the thigh, and with
their hands pull off large masses of
the shells. The principal use made
of these oysters is to convert their
shells into lime. No limestone is
found along the Tabasco and Vera
Cruz coast, and to bring it from fur
their up the rivers is a slow and ex'
pensive operation. The oyster beds.
centuries old, have taken the place
of the limestone quarries; immense
quantities of oysters and shells are
annually consumed in making shell
lime. The process is extremely
simple, but wantonly wasteful. M
distinction is made between ole
shells and live oysters, nor would i
be possible to do SO. The entire catcl
is taken on shore, where a pile o
wood is stacked up, and upon thi
the shells and oysters are heaped anc
a fire lighted. A few of the oyster
are eaten as soon as brought in, bu
the percentage is insignificant.

GLORY OF THE MOUNTAINS.

No lowlander can appreciate the

To the Democrats Of Lafayette
County:

County:
There is a nationwide sentf
ment against fayor-seeking in
~terests financing political cam.
Daigns, and the Ilost w$Sle-
some way to throttle that insid-
ious encroachment upon the
rights Of those who want JUS
tice substituted for favoritism
in the affairs of government, is
for the individual citizen to
realize that a responsibility
rests upon him to contribute fl
nancially for the furtherance Of
those political ideas that are
consonant with his own views
of justice in government affairs.
The frank and positive refusal
of Missouri's candidate for pres
ident, Hon. Champ Clark, to ac-
cept campaign donations from
questionable sources, brings the
question of the people financing
campaigns squarely up to those
who are demanding justice as be-
tween organized monopoly on
, one hand and the everyday citi-
J zen on the other.
! 1t is perfectly clear to all SEN
3 sible men that no campaign, nat
. ional in its scope, can be con-
Quoted without the Legitimate ex-
j., penditure of quite a lot Of money.
If we want a president of and
for the common people, we, the
plain, everyday citizens must
contribute modestly to see that
the candidate who most nearly
represents our ideas is gwen a
fair, square opportunity to win
upon the issues and his merits.

e should appeal to honest men Oh
