The democratic political situa
tion does not appear to be so complex
as it was a few weeks ago. There is
more promise of a patched up har
mony at present than any time since
the announced withdrawal of Colonel
Bryan from the presidential race. The
Ohio election practically eliminated
Hon. Tom Johnson from the race and
gave a serious setback to the more
radical elements of the party. The an
nouncement recently by Grover Cleve
land of his unalterabe determination
not to be a candidate for a third term,
nor to accept a nomination if it were of
fered him, has apparently removed a
formidable obstacle to party harmony.
It looks like the country will not hear
to so much about party principles from
the democrats in next year's campaign
as during Colonel Bryan's leadership,
but there will probably 6e a laying
aside of differences in an "attempt to
win the presidency. This lis evident in
considering the personality of the lead
ing candidates for the presidential
nomination among the-^'idemodrats.
No western man of prominence is re
ceiving serious consideration. Just at
present there are but two men very
prominently mentioned among demo
crats as presidential -possibilities.
They are Judge Parker of New York
and Senator Gorman of Maryland.
Both arc considered safe men in Wall
Street, notwithstanding Judge Parker
is said to have voted for Colonel
Bryan in
1896
and
19DO.
Ther£-&-sfcid
There has
been no radical criticism of Judge
Parker in the west and in the east he
is considered a suitable candidate—a
man who can be handled by Wall
Street. Senator Gorman has always
been considered a man of policy and
friendly to Wall Street, in fact, a little
t$p friendly to suit western democrats
But he has been so smooth^that oppo
sition to him is not as pronounced as
against Mr. Cleveland. Then his ex
pressed sentiments on the race prob
lem have made him very strong in the
south. The race seems to be between
Judge Parkei and Senator Gorman
and in the event either.is nominated
indications seem to point to strong
financial support by certain Wall
Street interests and others in sympa
thy with that element. No one seems
to know how strong "Bryanism is, but
the present drift would appear to show
that the eastern elements will control
the next democratic national conven
tion.

SHOOTING PARSON.
Rev. D. C. White recently became pas*
tor of a church near Donegal, Pa., from
which his predecessor, resigned, his pa?'
tience worn out by hoodlums who per
sisted in disturbing the services. Mr.
White began a series of revival meet
ings, but the hoodlums made it impos
sible for him to continue. Then he'bor^
rowed a law book and bought a revol
ver. At the opening of his next meet
ing be laid the book and gun side by
side on the pulpit,- read the statute cov
ering disturbances in church and quietly
informed his hearers that he expected
them to keep quiet. The rowdies re
spected the forty-four-calibre revolver
and Mr. White had no more trouble.
But he carefully unlimbers his artillery
very time before offering up his open
ing prayer.
ARMOR PLATE IS COSTLY.
The general public has always been
mystified at the extremely high price
paid for armor plate. According to
the Iron and Steel N,umber of The
Scientific American, the most impor
tant item is the great length of time
required for the successful manufac
ture of a plate for, on an average, ev
ery plate is being constantly worked
upon, either in turnace, forge, machine
shop, or annealing and tempering de-,
partment, for a continuous period ot
nine month's. Other causes of high
ost are: The large number pf^sepa-^
rate operations, the frequency* with
which the great masses must be trans
ported, and the distances over which
they must be carried in their journey
rfom one department to another. To
illustrate the vast scale on which an
armor plate and gun steel works is
laid out and the distances to be cov
ered from shop to shop, we m&y men
tion that the whole establishment ol
the Bethlehem Steel Works extends
in one direction continuously for a
length of a mile and a quarter, and that
the forty or fifty handlings and trans
shipments, which occur in making a
single Krupp plate, take place in and
between such buildings as the open
hearth structure, which is ill feet wide

feet in

ment and an armor-plate machine shop
both of which are little less in size.
Further elements of expense are the
large percentage of losses which is
liable to occur, the high first cost of
the extensive plants that must be laid
down, and the fact that new and im
proved methods of manufacture may
at any time render the plant more or
less obsolete. Tlie greater cost of the
Krupp armor is largely compensated
for by its much greater resisting quali
ties. which make it possible to give

.STREET STORIES.
The Jewish festival of Chanukah, or
the Feast of Lights, began last night,
and will continue for a period of eight
days. It is the Independence day of
ancient Judaism and has been observ
ed as such by scattered Israel since the
Hebrews ceased to be a nation.
The festival commemorates the war
of the Maccabees with Antiochus, the
victory of Judas Maccabee and his val
liant followers and the restoration of
the temple in Jerusalem.
A pretty custom characterizes the
observance of this festival. In' every
orthodox Jewish household the head
of the family lighted one wax taper
about the size of a Christmas tree can
dle last night two will be lighted to
night, and so on until the eighth night,
when eight tapers will be lighted.
This is undoubtedly the latest. A
well dressed man call£ on the president
of the ladies' aid society connected
with almost any church. He presents
a card showing himself to represent a
company which manufactures and deals
in a line of face powders, cosmetics,
and toilet articles of various kinds.
"Madam," he says to the president,
"I presume your society would be in
terested in a plan whereby it could,
with no trouble to itself, raise a con
siderable amount of money to be used
as it sees fit?"
As a rule ladies' aid societies are
vitally interested in just that sort of
propositions.
"Our plan is this," gfpes on the elo
quent agent. "If you will call a meet
ing of your society we will send to
attend it a most entertaining lecturer.
He will talk to you for half an hour on
methods of securing and retaining per
nal beauty. In itself I am sure you
will find the lecture both interesting,
and profitable. But we will do more
than that. At the close of the lecture
our man will take the name and ad
dress of every lady present, and for
each name so secured he will pay you
in cash, then and there, the sum of
cents, An attendance of
10
200
ladies, in
ther words, will be worth to 79Ur so
ciety just
$20—and
so on." V F':
A local sportsman who is the proud
owner of a red and black Gordon set
ter, tells a story of the dog's hunting
ability and he agress to be responsible
for its authenticity.
He had raised the dog fropi puppy
hood and used great care and patience
in educating it for work in the field.
Soon after the animal's days of train
ing were over he took him out for a
hunt and tells the incident in the. fol
lowing manner:
I was passing through a field in
chicken season and approached an old
hay barn, long since fallen into decay.
Close to the building the dog came to
a stqrp and although I looked about in
every-direction could see no sign of
birds. There was tiot even a slight
growth of stubble in which they could
hide a.nd I made up my mind that the
animal's training was not so successful
as I1 had thought.
"I ordered him forward and he obey
ed, but 110 birds made their appear
ance. He circled about the building
and.came to a stop again at the same,
place as before. I examined the
ground carefully and went forward
with the dog. Imagine my surprise
when I found that some one had paint
ed on the side of the barn the words,
'Bob White,' and I wouldn't p*r-t with
that dog now for any sum."
Lots and lots of times there is hu
mor mixed with pathos, ind bere is
one of them* i
The other evening' an old man,
much the worse for liquor, was wend
ing his way homeward on Fourth
Street North, facing the cold wind,
slipping and sliding on the snowy
walks and finding things generally
squally and unsatisfactory. At length
he fell nor did he attempt to rise un
til a stronger approached, lifted him
gently but firmly, and. inquiring where
the old man lived, half carried him for
several blocks in the direction of his
home.
Near the place of his house the old
man seemed to come to a sudden real
ization of his state. Steadying himself
against a nearby fence, he said:
"Now you brace up. too, young man,
or she'll lick us both."
WHAT STEEL IS MADE OF.
Scientific American: The raw ma
terials of manufacture in making pig
iron consist of iron ore, coke and lime
stone, in the proportions of two
pounds erf ore to one pound of coke
and one-third of a pound of limestone.
In the'manufacture of the steel from
which rails are foiled, there are two
ftipdamental processes first, the re
duction of the ore in the blast furnace
aiut tlien the conversion of the mo'ten
iroil-into steel in the cotw^rter. The

"This idea of a woman taking her
former name and hyphenating it with
that of her husband after *he has se
cured a divorce occasionally has an
amusing result," remarked a Chicago
man the other day at the Waldorf.
"I had a girl friend in Indianapolis
whos name was Rose Wood and she
marrie4 a man by the name of Shed.
Well, they lived together for about
three years and as everything did not
go smoothly she secured a divorce. As
soon as she did so she changed her
nan^ to read Mrs. Rose Wood-Shed.
Now can you imagine a 'rosewood
shed' or a 'woodshed* that suggests
'roses?'
"Do you know, that the girl had to
stand for so many puns on her napie
and she was teased about it so un
mercifully that she finally had her visit
ing cards changed to read 'Mrs. Rose
W. Shed' and instructed all her friends
never to mention or introduce her by
the name of Rose Wood-Sh^d/'
