Glynn had no idea as late as last nish'
that the demonstration Of the west
chester delegation, headed by Waro,
meant anything except prot,s.
against his election at this particu's,
time. Glynn hoped that Ward woulu
be one Of his most earnest supporter
lust as he has always been his Close
political friend.
Trouble Ahead for Whitman
Republican leaders in Albany, insioe
tho Legislature and out, believe thh.
tho Ward detection is ono OF the most
serious blows 10 the Whitman macnine
and the Whitman cause in general ~
ia expectcd that the break will be re-
elected in the Legislature and strengthen
the oppostion to the Governor IN ooth
houses. The Westchester Legislators
who could always be counted upon Dy
Senator George Argetsinger. the Wnlt-
man Senate leader, may be expected TO
ioin with the Brown-Sage-Mi group
in blocking the Governors aspirations;
I'd to last Friday the Governor had
been able TO depend on Wards sup
port whenever he needed it. The two
had worked in close cooperation. ms
was especially evident at the chicago
convention last June, at the unofficial
state convention in New YORK and IN
many other instances. And, as Inc
Tribune stated this morning, whitman,
according to his friends, realized in the
last few days that when Ward proposed
his reorganization plan TO him last
week IL was intended TO be for Whit
mans interest as we'll as that Of Ward.
To Press Election Reform
II is interesting and significant TO
note i'm connection with the Ward
Whitman split that tho Senate Repub-
lican leaders intend to press through
the Legislature this session a revision
Of the primary and election laws which
will provide for the restoration of the
PARTY convention, or, at least, the party
designating committee. and Will modify
the mass ballot so that voter can vote
a straight ticket by marking a cross
under the party emblem IL he so de-
sires. 49,,
Il is not intended TO do away with
the present direct primary system, but
to make it supplementary to the con-
vention or designating committee.
In the Senate Republican caucus this
morning Senator Elon r. Brown, presl-
dent pro TEN, who is backing the cleo
ton law plans, urged upon the Senator'S
earnest consideration of his proposal
TO establish a literacy test for all fut-
ure voters. His proposed measure
would deny the ballot to any natural
born citizen or naturalized citizen who
cannot read. write and speak the Eng
lish language. II Is not intended to
have any effect upon persons who now
exercise the franchise or persons who
have applied for citizenship.

Spent Honeymoon In JungIes.

Mrs. George Sewall, wife of an Afri-
can big game hunter and herself a
Diana Of no mean ability, arrived at
New York on the Adriatic after an ab-
sence Of seven years. Before her mar
riage Mrs. Sewall was Miss Angela
d'Acosta of Boston.
For six years Mrs. Sewall has accom-
panied her husband on all his big game
expeditions in the heart Of the dark
continent. Shortly after their marriage
they went to Mr.. Sewall's hunting
lodge at Nairobi, in British East At
rica. After two years there they joined
an expedition into the interior of At
rica, where Mrs. Sewall brought down
a lion, six elephants, four giraffes, two
hippopotami and twenty water buffalo.
The couple returned to Nairobt just
as the European war broke out, and
Mr.. Sewall, in reciprocation Of the

TO INDICATE PAIN
MOVEMENT OF HANDS GIVES IN.
FORMATION TO PHYSICIAN.
Experts Consider Motion an Import.
ant Point in Locating Seat Of
TroubIe-HoW to Tell Dis
ease of the Spine.

When a patient is asked to locate
his pain, he does so by movement Of
one or both his hands. The gesture,
however not only indicates its seat,
but describes it's character and dis
tributiOn. Physicians say that this Is
an important point If the pain Is
widely distributed over the whole
chest the patient locates it with a cir
cular rubbing motion of the palm Of
the hand, indicating the diffused sore
ness. The pain of serious infam-
nation, on the other hand, Is de-
scribed by first drawing the hand
away from the body and then, with
the fingers close together, or with the
index finger extended and the others
hexed, cautiously approaching the seat
of the inflammation.
In appendicitis the patient does not
touch the skin at all when asked to
locate the pain. He simply holds the
palm of his hand over the diseased
area. With very violent abdominal
pains which are not infiammatory, the
patient slaps himself vigorously
across the abdomen on being asked
to indicate the location Of his trouble.
If child complains of persistent pain
in the stomach, and there is no ten
derness on pressure, disease Of the
spine is indicated.
In hip joint disease, the pain will be
referred to q point inside the knee.
AZ 6ifuCnH In tho loo
not due TO an Inflammation, the pa
tient grasps the leg firmly. If 1t Is a
darting or lancinating pain, he will
Indicate it with one finger. In the
pain caused by the descent Of renal
calculi and gallstOnes, he follows
their course with the top Of the
thumb or index finger.
The pain Of hepatic neuralgia or
"shingles' Is indicated with the
thumb or finger. In joint pains the
patient approaches the seat of trouble
very cautiously with the hand spread
fat, while degenerative pain of loco
motor ataxia is described by grasping
the affected area firmly, indicating a
band-like pain. Or If the pain Is
sharp and lightning-like in the leg, the
pain gesture is perfectly descriptive,
an energetic downward motion, at the
same time twisting the hand as though
manipulating corkscrew.
A patient had complained Of Sc
we're headache "In what part Of the
head is it?" he was asked. And, in
dicating the spot, he placed his finger
on the parietal eminence This he did
three times in succession, though
claiming to feel the pain exactly on
top. Upon examining the mouth q
defective tooth was found. AS soon
as 1t was removed the pain disap-
peared.

Senator look Oath on Koran.

A recent incident in the new Philip
pine legislature recalls that when the
United States acquired the islands we
took into our family brOthers-in-law
whose religious beliefs always have
clashed with Christianity. Senator
Hadji Butu, who represents Mindanao
and Sulu, took his oath of Office on the
Koran instead of the Bible.
All the other senators took their
oaths collectively by raising their right
hands. Then Senator Butu stepped In
front of the president Of the senate
and, placing his right hand over the
Koran, read his official oath in the Sulu
dialect, the president repeating 1t in
Spanish. When the ceremony was
over the president shook hands with
the senator, while the other senators
and large crowd in the galleries ap-
plauded.

SCRUPLES ON MEAT AND DAYS
Two Questions over Which the Early
Christians Found Themselves in
Differing Attitudes.

In Pauls day there was the Ques-
ton Of meat offered to idols. Much
Of the market product was of this
chara cter; 1t had been used in sacri-
fee TO the pagan gods. Was it, there
fore, tainted With heathenism? Might
q Christian eat 1t? II he did might
he not be accused Of participating In
the idolatrOus ceremonies? TO Paul
himself an idol was nothing: the Serv-
ices did nothing to the meat he could
eat Ii without question, and 80 advised
his Corinthian friends. Yet he recog-
ntzed special cases where he and
others would abstain because of the
law of love and the conscientious
scruples of another.
The other vexed question arose over
the gradual substitution of Sunday
for Saturday, as the Sabbath rest
day. The Lords day, the day Of
resurrection, the first day, became the
generally accepted Christian Sabbath
Some Jewish Christians felt this to
be very wrong. and indeed there are
fine, stalwart Christians today who
feel as they did. But the great ma
Jority took the view that the leading
Of the spirit warranted the departure
from the letter.-The Christian Her

BIRD Of GREAT VERSATILITY
Parrot ls the Best lmitator of Sounds
and Only Feathered Creature
Taking Food In Claws.

1t appears that 1t Is not only In
initiating human speech that the par
rot excels most Of the birds. It is
alone among birds In taking food in its
claws. With these two characteris-
tics, remarks writer In the Washing
ton Evening Star, 1t makes more or
less use Of that which DISTINGUISHES
humanity from the rest Of the animal
,ktngdom-the hand and the larynx.
The monkey uses it's hands and the
elephant it's trunk In feeding. Various
animals have a habit of paving their
food. Rodents have serviceable toes.
Still, the parrot Is pre-eminent among
birds in this regard. The secretary
bird Is said to attack reptiles with its
claws, and some observers have said
that owls make partial use Of their re-
markably flexible perching toe some
what more than does hen In scratch
ing for food, However, there Is no
other bird which, when presented with
a piece Of food, will accept it In its
claws.
Parrots do not. Of course, talk as
the word Is used, in their wild state
and are not known to be initiative Of
neighboring sounds, nor to possess the
repertory Of the mocking bird. 1t Is,
therefore, question whether or not
their use of the claws Is largely imita-
tive also. The shape Of the parrots
beak would indicate that some assist
ance in eating has always been a part
Of the birds characteristics.
Like man, the parrot makes it's ap-
pearance in the world naked and help

Subsidizing the Poet.

We seem to be as much at sea In
this matter as they were about 120 A.
D., when the critic cursed the town
for keeping alive so many poets and
cursed 1t again for starving so many
Of them; wanted to know how q man
could behold the horses Of the chariot
Of the sun If he had to grub for liv-
ing, and wanted to drive most
poets back to grubbing for a liv-
ing as soon as he observed their man
ner Of beholding the horses Of the
chariot Of the sun; said you ought to
fatten poets to make them sing, and
became violently angry the moment
a fat poet began singing; blamed a
rich man for feeding a pet lion instead
Of subsidizing some author at much
less expense, and was all for feeding
the author to the lion on reading what
he wrote. He wanted authors pro-
tected, but the literary choices made
by the protector almost drove him
mad.-The New Republic.

The following joint resolution, of
interest to mining men who desire to

Resolved, that the provisions of
section 1924 Of the revised statutes
of the United States, which require
that on each mining claim located
after the 10th day Of May, 1872, and
until patent has been ISSUED there
for, not less than 500 worth of la
Dor shall be performed or improve
ments made during each year, shall
not apply to claims or parts of claims
owned by officers or enlisted men
who have been mustered into the
military or naval service of the
United States, so that no mining
claim or any part thereof owned by
such person which has been regu-
larly located and recorded shall be
subject to forfeiture for non-per-
fOrmance of the annual assessments
until six months after such owner is
mustered out of the service or until
six months after his death in the
service; provided that the claimant
of any mining location, in order to
obtain benefits of this resolution,
shall file, or cause to be flied, in the
office where the location notice or
certificate is recorded, within ninety
days from and after the passage and
approval of this resolution, a notice
of his muster into the service of the

MORE MINES NEEDED.

Some of the holders Of promising
mining claims who have contemplat-

ent time is inopportune for the pro-
motion of new enterprises. Present
conditions do not justify this atti-
tude, and the future aspect of af-
fairs, so far from being unpromising,
is decidedly encouraging in a busi-
ness way, says the Miami Silver Belt.
This country has enjoyed an un-
precedented period of prosperity for
the past two years; and there ap-
pears to be no logical reason for
believing that the general activities
Of the nation will suffer a setback
owing to the war. On the contrary,
all lines of trade will be stimulated
by the needs of the government and
Of the allies, who now have. or will
have, at their combined disposal
seven billion dollars through the new
government loan; and virtually all
of it will be spent for supplies in the
United States. This is huge sum,
but it will be distributed in a COM
paratively short time and result in
pushing the manufacturing, mining
and other industries to the limit to
fill their contracts.
Prosperity, so far from being
lessened, therefore, will he impor-
family increased, and there is likely
to be larger amount of surplus
funds in circulation for investment
than ever before. Mining companies
Of late have achieved reputation as
large and consistent profit makers,
and it is only consistent to assume
that reasonable part of this flood
of money will be available for invest
ment in mining shares.
Never was the demand for metals
OF all kinds so staggering as it is
now. Nor was there ever a more
opportune time than the present for
organizing new mining companies
with the reasonable certainty that
investors will readily supply the
backing, and that the properties
even if only toleraby valuable. can
be operated at good profit.
The people do not seem to fully
comprehend what it will mean to
have seven billion dollars distributed
among the various Industries of the
nation. Why observers should an
ticipate dearth Of money when so
much will be in circulation, and
when practically all lines Of endeav-
or will be making huge profits, it is
difficult to understand.
Promoters should get busy and
organize new mining companies now,
not only because OF the high prices
of metals, but for the further reason
that all business conditions, both
present and prospective, justify the
belief that the country will con-
tinue to be extremely prosperous.
