ditlons, but he argued that the republican party can be trusted to solve every problem safely. In his speech Senator Hemenway said: ,. "I have always believed, and I still believe that the republican party is equal to all emergencies, and that for the time being we should be content to abide by the old republican ideas, and there should be a cessation of experimental legislation until the legislation now enacted shall have ample time to be tried out, and the people should be educated to the understanding that all ills cannot be cured by legislation. In my own judgment there should be legislation on the currency question, but only after careful consideration of the problems now confronting us." Congressman Watson, candidate for governor, declared that he believed the republicans will win another great victory In the next campaign, but he warned the party workers that there had been changes In conditions since the last national campaign when the republicans carried the state by a plurality of 92,000. Other speakers were Lieutenant Governor Miller, Charles V. Miller and Mr. Taylor, all candidates for the republican nomination for governor. Bruner Pledged Kentucky. Secretary of State 13runer, of Kentucky, made a short iddress, in which he said that Kentucky will send 26 Fairbanks delegates to the republican national convention. All of the candida'es for places on the state ticket, had headquarters at the Claypool hotel. Congressman Watson's rooms were busy as was C. W. Miller' who had headquarters near Watson's. Taylor and Lieutenant Governor Miller did most of their work in the lobby. Representative John Edwards, of Mitchell, announced during the day that he was a candidate for the nomination for lieutenant governor. James Wade Kmison. of Vineennes. who was here also, said that he would not be a candidate for lieutenant governor. A. F. Knotts. of Hammond, who has been boomed for lieutenant governor, said he would not enter the race. Speaker of the House Branch told his friends lhat he would probably be a candidate for lieutenant governor. Senator Goodwine had his forces busy yesterday. Among the prominent men here were Congressmen Crumpacker, Chaney and Overstroet. National Chairman New, Enoch B. Nebeker, of Covington and former Governor Durbin. Each district hsd a large representation. Oairman Goodrich did not arrive until midnight. Nearly every district had a caucus of some kind last night bearing either on the race for governor or the reorganization of the state committee. Wayne county sent, a good crowd.

It has been remarked that the effective life of Incandescent electric lamps Is much longer with clear than with ground glass bulbs. E. P. Hyde explains this fact as follows: A thin deposit of carbon is formed on the interior surface of the bulbs, and this absorbs a certain portion of the radiation from the filament. When the glass is clear the light passes straight through, suCfering a definite lost from the carbon film. When the glass is frosted the light undergoes many reflections iu the Interior of the bulb from the innumerable facets, and at each reflection It loses something on account of the obstructing film. The consequence is that the total amount of loss is much greater with ground plass than with clear glass. Mr. Hyde's experiments show lhat the filv ment lasts as long in the one kind of bulb as in the other. Youth's Companion.

The First Performance of 'Rienzi" at Dresden. In Ludwig Frankenstein's Wagner year book Gustav Kietz tells this story in connection with the first performance of "Rienzi" at Dresdeu: "On the day of the first performance Wagner asked me to meet him in front of the theater after the box office had been opened, so that he could give me and my friend Schuster, the butcher, tickets for the performance. Wagner was in a state of great excitement, and when he gave me the two tickets Heine whispered to me, 'Take some one with good big hands with you.' He watched the people as they came toward the theater, and every time one went in he would make some remark to his wife which showed his satisfaction. I had to go within, but 1 shall never forget the childish joy of the composer when he saw groups enter the house aud the disappointment when others passed the open doors. I thought of it even that evening when the enthusiasm was the greatest. How happy Wagner aud his wife must have been at the following two performances. when the house was so tilled that even his relatives, who had come to Dresdeu for that purpose, could not be admitted to the theater!" THE DESERT SANDS. Why the Arabs of Sahara Lose the Use of Their Eyes. "I shall winter in the Sahara," said a traveling man. "With a caravan I shall traverse under a blinding sun and uu endless plain of snow white sand, but none of my Mohammedan attendants will wear any kind of shade over his eyes. "Against that dazzling glare the backs of their necks will be swathed in white linen, and even their ears will be protected. Nothing, though, will keep the sun out of their faces. "Wondering about" this, 1 said one day to the kaid of an Algerian village: " 'Why don't you Arabs wear a cap of some sort? You live in the world's worst sun glare, but neither fez nor turban under any circumstances has a peak.' " The Koran,' the kaid answered, forbids all true believers to shade their eyes. Obeying the Koran Implicitly, we dwellers in the desert avoid like poison brims to our headgear. In consequence there is more blindness among us than among any other people in the world ' "Los Angeles Times.

DIRTY WATCHES. The Reason Is Often to Bo Found In the Watch Pocket. "Why do watches get dirty?" said the jeweler. "You'll find the answer in your watch pocket Turn It out." The patron turned out his watch pocket, sheepishly bringing forth a pinch of mud colored dust, some lint and a small ball of black fluff. "There's the reason," said the jeweler. "Watches get dirty because the

men was donning his evening suit preparatory to keeping a social engagement he ran bis hand into his pocket and was surprised to find an envelope there. On opening it he discovered 25 pesos In bills. "Now, where In thunder did I take on all this money?" he said. "It Isn't mine, for I never carry my Mils around in an envelope." Then he sat down to think where he had worn the suit and how he had come by the 25 pesos. "The last place I wore it," he mused finally, "was when I was best man at a wedding a month ago. But I gave Dr. Rosslter his money. I remember distinctly giving him something, and It must have been his fee. If I didn't give him the money, what in the world did I give him 7" He called up Dr. Rosslter by phone. "Do you mind telling me," he asked, "what I gave you for a fee at Blank's wedding?" The answer came back very distinctly and cuttingly: "Young man, you gave me' a box of vile smelling cigarettes." Philippine Gossip. Arbiter and Arbitrary, If an arbitrator is chosen to end a dispute, says the London Chronicle, there is no reason to dread that his decision would be arbitrary, though the two words are very near relatives. An arbiter, the Latin word which used j to be more common as English than It Is now, meant by derivation simply "one who went to" something to examine it and so at first a epectator or witness. Then in Roman law it assumed the technical sense of an nmnlre j But a ..Judlcum tne legal decision in j a case wItQ regard to a definite gum ; of monev for lnstance. was distinguished from an arbitrium. a legal decision as to an uncertain sum which had to be determined; hence arbitrary acquired the sense of uncertain, capricious. It Was Plain Enough. A college professor who recently returned with his wife from their honeymoon greatly amused a company of people in his home town, according to the Lewiston Journal, by assuring them, on being questioned concerning their trip, that nobody where they spent their honeymoon suspected that they were bride and groom. "What kind of a place was it you were in?" the president of the college asked. "An institution for the blind?" Economical Woman. Of small economies the following will be difficult to beat for smallness: A laboring man who hands over his weekly wages to his wife is allowed by her an ounce of tobacco a week. She buys it herself in two separate half ounces In order, she declares, to get the advantage of the two turns of the scale. London Chronicle. A Brutal Definition. Knicker What is a philanthropist?

Woman's Definition. I am always embarrassed when asked by foreigners to give the definition of the word "bourgeois," whlcu is generally emphasized disdainfully. The dictionary defines it as "common, without distinction." It is not exactly that. Bourgeoisism, like provincialism. Is a mentality. It represents a kernel with out the pulp and emanates from the shell of the dinner pot It is one of the props of society. Props are never beautiful nor graceful. Without it, however, the world could not retain its equilibrium, yet with it alone the world could not progress. It gives to Individuals the Impenetrability of a shell. Mme. Pierre d Coulevain. Translated by Jessie Henderson Brewer. A BRONZE STATUE. The Model, the Core and the Pouring of the Metal. "Immense pains and immense labor attend the production of a bronze statue of any size even after the artist has done his work," remarks a sculptor. "To begin with, the plaster model has to be completely covered with small lumps of a special kind of sand. 6ometimes as many as 1,500 to 2,000 of these pieces being required. After these blocks of sand are dry they are taken off the cast one at a time and carefully put together to form the mold. The latter is then filled with clay, and the same operation is again gone through, a facsimile of the plaster cast being thus obtained. "Then comes the most delicate part of the whole work. The clay model, or 'core," as it is technically called, has to have a quarter of an Inch taken off its entire surface, which, as may readily be imagined, is anything but easy, especially if the subject be at all ornate. "The 'core' is then again put into the mold which has of course to be reconstructed once more being kept exactly In the center by means of iron rods. "The molten bronze Is then poured In from the top, completely filling the space between the 'core' and the mold. After It has cooled the latter Is again removed and the clay Interior extracted, when the statue, somewhat rough and needing a slight touching up, is revealed." Cassell's Journal. One on the Teacher. Among the corps of instructors in one of Washington's high schools Is a woman highly esteemed as a teacher of American history. The class under her care had under consideration one day topics concerning the civil war when one volunteered, in Illustration j of some point, a lurid account of a bat- ! tie in which, he claimed, an uncle of his had participated. ' The teacher interposed to observethat the anecdote could hardly be correct, as the uncle in question was near . her own age and she was not born un- j til after the close of the war. I At this the boy seemed a trifle chagrined at being so evidently in the wrong. After a few moments of embarrassed silence he said, with the naive air of one who has much the best of the situation: 'Oh, but, Miss Blank, I did not mean the Revolutionary war!" Pittsburg Leader.

Brownson Precipitates Feeling Between Line and Staff Of the Navy. MAY GET IN CONGRESS. Washington. Dee. IT. Not since the ays preceding the passage of th personnel law, ten years ago, has th feeling benveen lino and staff of the navy been so acute as it was yesterday, as the result of the refusal of Admiral Hrownson to transmit orders from his superior officer, the president of the United States, ut-si.cniug a naval surgeon to command a vessel in the navy. In the case of the personnel act. it was Mr. Roosevelt, iher assistant secretary of the navy, who acted the part of pacificator and succeeded in bringing the two warring factions together in suoport of the legislation which, for a decade past, though a makeshift, has served to maintain peace between the two factions in the navy. In the present instance, however, the efforts of the president to reconcile the surgeons and tile line officers have failed and it is probable that the whole controversy will be thrashed, out on its merits in congress. THE PIANO'S SOUL it Is Imparted to the Instrument by the "Scale." "Every piano factory," said a piano manufacturer, "employs what ws piano men call a 'scale.'

Lis nil artists, they are forever squabbling among themselves about little things, find, as yon may guess, jealousy Is their besetting evil. "But I bare not yet explained what the 'scale does. When a piano Is all strung and tuned and ready to leave the factory, the "scale sits down to it all alone and screws It to pitch.
