STIRRED BY CHARGE Burns Starts Something When He Says American Un- , employed Drink Less.

"IT IS UNTRUE" CALL MANY. London, Oct. 30. John Burns, the abor leader and president of the local fcovernment board, drew down upon (lis head the anathemas of the'LaborItes when, in the house of commons, he Intimated that the main disadvantages bnder which the British unemployed labored as compared to the unemployed in America was that the Britons flrank more than their transatlantic ton feres. Mr. Burns repudiated the suggestion ihat the difference lay in the fact that he American unemployed had money n their pockets. "I have been in Imerlca three times," he said, "and he only difference I saw between the Unemployed in America and those of this country was that the former, for to. short time after losing work, were better dressed. Many of them do not Prink so much as do many British unemployed workmen, but the workmen Eif this country have an advantage in he number of days they are idle." Loud cries of "It is untrue. It is a shameful comparison:" greeted Mr. turns' a statement. MAGIC GLASS. (A Curious Mirror That May Be Made Transparent. One of the most curious inventions tof this age is what is called, platinized glass. A piece of glass is coated with an exceedingly thin layer of a liquid Charged with plntlnum and then raised to a red heat. The platinum becomes united to the glass in suh a way as to form an odd kind of mirror. The glass has not really lost its transparency, and yet if one places It against a wall and looks at It he sees his image ns in an ordinary looking glass. But when light is allowed to come through the glass from the other aide, as when it is p' .3 in a window, St appears perfectly transparent, like ordinary glass. By constructing a window of platinized glass one could stand close behind the panes In an unilluminated room and behold clearly everything going on outside, while passersby looking at the window would behold only a Uie mirror or set of mirrors in which their own figures would be reflected, while the person inside remained inVisible. In France various tricks have been contrived with the aid of this glass. In one a person, seeing what appears to be an ordinary mirror, approaches It to gaze upon himself. A sudden change in the mechanism sends light through the glass from the back, whereupon it Instantly becomes trans parent, and the startled spectator finds , himself confronted by some grotesque figure that had been hidden behind the magic glass. New York Tribune. SPEED LAWS OF 1816. Coaches Going Nine Miles an Hour . Frightened the English. The outcry daily growing louder In England against the excessive speed of motor cars lends Interest to the following passage from the Annual Register for 1816: A new coach was started in the spring to run to Brighton, a distance ef fifty two miles, in six hours. This, however, became alarming, particularly in the populous neighborhood of New ington. through which it passed, and tho parish officers there caused information to be laid against the drivers for driving furiously on the public road so ns to endanger the lives of his majesty's subjects. The result of this Is to be read In Mansard's "Parliamentary Reports," June 30, 1816. . The attorney general moved for leave to bring in a bill the object of which was the protection of the lives and limbs of bis majesty's subjects by correcting the enormous abuses of stagecoach -drivers. Within these few days it would be hardly credible what a number of applications be had received on this subjectSome accounts were enough to freeze one with horror. A gentleman of veracity had informed him that on Tuesday. May 21, at 530, the Trafalgar and Regulator coaches set off from Manchester and got to Liverpool at 6:20, doing this journay In two hours fifty minutes, at the rate of twelve miles an hour. New York Sun. Fiji Islanders' Sugar Cane Dane. A very curious and exceedingly clercr dance may be witnessed in Fiji called by the natives "the sugar cane tneke," or sugar cane dance. - It represents the growth of the sugar cane. In the first figure the dancers squat love on the ground, shake their heads, shut their eyes and murmur slowly and softly an unintelligible sentence. Gradually they all stand up together, trrowing taller and taller, and as they "grow" they wave their arms and tremble all over from ankle to head, like the tall, tasseled cane waving In the wind, and still they keep on chanting londer and louder. The last figure represents a series of combats meant to symbolize the exactions of the chiefs, who compel the "kaisi," willing and unwilling, to come and cut helr crops. London Standard.

' Where the Billowing Golden Waves Stretch From Sky to Sky. Take a look at the wheatfield that has been brought up to perfection as it stands, yellow as gold, with the sheen of the sea, billowing from sky line to sky line like an ocean of gold, where the wind touches the rippling wave crests with the tread of invisible feet. In California, in Oregon, in Washington, in Dakota, in the Canadian northwest, you may ride all day on horseback through the wheatfields without a break in the flow of yellow heavy headed grain no fence lines, no meadow lands, no shade trees, no knobs and knolls and hills and hollows of grass or black earth through. From dawn till dark, from sunrise, in a burst of fiery splendor over the prairie horizon, to sundown, when the crimson thing hangs like a huge shield of blood in the haze of a heat twilight, you may ride with naught to break the view between you and the horizon but wheat wheat. It is like the gold fields. It goes to your head. You grow dizzy looking at it. You rub your eyes. Is it a mirage? The billowing yellow waves seem to be breasting the very sky. You look up. The sky Is there all right with the black mote of a meadow lark sailing the azure sea. He drops liquid notes of sheer mellow music down on your head, does that meadow lark, and that gives you back your perspective, your sense of amazing reality. You are literally, absolutely, really, In the midst of a sen of living gold. It is you and not the lark that is the mote. Yon begin to feel as if your special mote might be a beam that would get lost in Infinity if you stayed there long, and so you ride on and on, and some more on, ffnd by and by come out of the league long, fenceless fields with an xdor In your nostrils that isn't exactly like incense it's too fugitive, too fine, too sublimal of earth. It is aromatic, a sort of attar of roses, the imprisoned fragrance of the billions upon billions of wheat flowers shut up in the glumes of the heavy headed grain there. And that's the odur of the wheat, Agnes C. Laut in Outing Magazine. A girl named Gordon, working In a laundry at Ballymena, Belfast, Ireland, was caught in a machine by the hair and completely scalped. A doctor ordered her removal to a hospital. The scalp was also taken there, and Dr. Davidson succeeded in sewing it on. The girl is alive and making good progress.

Tho Way a Mandarin's Wise Wife Decided a Baby Case. Two women came before a mandarin In China, each of them protesting that she was the mother of a little child they had brought with them. They were so eager and so positive that the mandarin was sorely puzzled. He retired to consult with his wife, who was a wise and clever woman, whose opinion was held in great repute in the neighborhood. She requested five minutes in which to deliberate. At the end of that time she spoke, "Let the servants catch me a large fish in the river, and let it be brought here alive." This was done. "Bring me now the Infant," she said, "but leave the two women In the outer chamber." This was done too. Then the mandarin's wife caused the baby to be undressed and its clothes to be put on the fish. "Carry the creature outside now and throw it into the river in the sight of the two women," The servant obeyed her orders, flfliging the fish into the water, where it rolled about and struggled, disgusted no doubt by the wrappings in which it was swaddled. Without a moment's pause one of the women threw herself into the river with a shriek. She must . save her drowning child. "Without doubt she is the true mother," she declared, and the mandarin's wife commanded that she should be rescued and the child given to her. And the mandarin nodded his head and thought his wife the wisest woman in the Flowery Kingdom. Meanwhile the false woman crept away. She was found out in her Imposture, and the mandarian's wife forgot all about her in the occupation of donning the little baby in the best silk she could find In her wardrobe. Bystander. White and Red Wines. White and red wines owe their diffexence to the fact that, while the former is permitted to ferment without the grape skirts, these are allowed to remain in the case of the latter. The rolor of the grapes makes no difference whatever to the color of the wine which they produce, for the juice of all grapes is as nearly as possible colorless. For instance, the grape which yields champagne is almost black In outward appearance. Over the Telephone. "Is this Dr. Smith V "Yes." "Well, this is Mrs. Jones.

An Election

Pertinent Points About Our Election - Machinery For New Voters and Old

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. When did the Republican party originate? In 1S54. The name was first used at a political convention in

Jackson, ilich. The first Republican national convention met in Pittsburg, Pa., in 1856 and adopted a platform in which the chief plank declared ''that the constitution confers upon congress sovereign power over the territories of the United States for their government and that in the exercise of this power it is both the right and the imperative duty of congress to prohibit in the territories those twin relics of , barbarism, polvgamy and slavery."

Who was the party's first presidential candidate T John C. Pemont. He was defeated by James Buchanan, tho Democratic candidate. Who was the next candidate ? Abraham Lincoln. He was nominated at Chicago and elected,

I his chief opponent being Stephen northern .wing of the Democracy.

; General George B. McClella'n, Democrat.

How many Republican presidents have there been ? Nine. Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt. Lincoln, Garfield and

! ceeded to the presidency on the death

idents.- Roosevelt was elected to a full term after serving out McKinley's uncompleted second term. Since the civil war, for what has the Republican party chiefly stood! For what is known as a protective tariff.

EVEN MUSICIANS ARE WARNED OE EVILS OF OPTION (Continued From Page One.) Watson, Wednesday evening, eminated from their places of business. These men say no one with Marshall pictures.1 was in their saloons that evening. The information concerning the affair as printed in -this column was secured from persons who claimed to have seen it. Brookville may be small but she is alone ato the times. There is no town hall of sufficient size to accommodate the populace, while awaiting election returns. Dance hall promoters, however, have hit upon the scheme of an election ball. The returns will be received and read to the dancers, while they trip the light fantastic. The voters of Wayne county next Tuesday will be called upon to select the man to fill the most important position it lies within their power to elect, so far as local government is concerned the judge of the Wayne circuit court. There are two candidates, Henry C. Fox, republican, and present judge, and John Dodson, democrat, an attorney at Cambridge City. Fox is eminently qualified at a jurist, and Dodson has had absolutely no experience. He is a capable consulting attorney, but does not conduct nor argue any of the cases of any moment in which he is retained. He concedes the election of Judse Fox and has made no canvass of the county. Only yesterday he made the remark "what's the use?" when asked if he were campaigning. Mr. Dodson's name was placed on the ticket against his own wishes, and after he had notified his party he did not care for the nomination. In order to secure the election of Judge Fox, it will be necessary to vote for him, so as not to prevent the office of judge to go by default to a man who does not solicit it nor care for it. In the effort to secure funds to publish a special edition of an Elwood newspaper as a "roorback," a paper was circulated atElwood. It happened the paper was given to a man who was for and not against the republican. . He "lost" the paper and the next heard or it was wnen an nawooa repuoncan newspaper exposed the whole foul scheme. The paper and the subscrib ers who had attached their signatures do not help the Marshall cause any. This is the extent of the list when it was "lost" and "found" again: "We. the undersigned, have subscribed the amount opposite our names for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a special edition, to be issued on Friday, Oct. 30, 10O which will charge James E.

One day Mr. Evarts boarded the car in company with a famous senator, the latter smoking a cigar. The new man promptly touched the smoker on the elbow and said, pointing at the notice, "Can't you read that sign?" Mr. Evarts promptly tore down the offending notice and, turning to the elevator man, said: "What sign? I don't see any." The attendant, suspecting something, wisely held his peace, but he followed the pair out and asked the guard at the door who the chap with the large head was. The guard told him.
