MEDICAL ASS0., Office, 903 New York ave. 023-8m,18 THE FALL ELECTIONS Unusual Interest Taken in Them This Year. RESULTS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT Ohio, Maryland and New York Most Prominent. THE ISSUES INVOLVED eon Unusual interest is taken this year in the “oft year” electioas. Though the elections in November are for the most part for offices of little natioral importance, the re- sults, even in cities and townships, are this time looked forward to with interest. The reason for this is that the people throughout the country are anxious to. know how the sentiment of their neighbors, near and remote, has been affected by the result of the Jast presidential election, by the succeeding tariff legislation, and by the improvement in business under Mr. McKin- ley’s administration, and whether Bryan- ism is on the decline or is holding its own. Even the smallest municipal elections may give some indication -on these points, since in nearly every case Bryanism and anti- Bryanism enter to some extent into the contest. Elections will be held this November in Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ken- tucky, New York, Nebraska and Massa- chusetts. In Massachusetts, Ohio, , Vir- ginia and Iowa governors will be elected. In Maryland and Ohio a special national interest is involved on account of a United States senator having to be elected from each of those states. Kentucky will elect a clerk of the court of appeals. Pennsyl- vanla elects state treasurer and auditor. Nebraska elects a judge of the supreme court and regents of the university. Col- orado elects a chief justice. New York elects a chief justice of the court of up- peals, a new assembly and the first mu- nicipal officers of Greater New The greatest interest attach Maryland and New York. Situation in Ohio. In Ohio the democrats hage indorsed the Chicago platform, and thé silver forces ure contending for the establishment of their doctrine and the election of a senator. The republicans are making a square fight for the present gold standard, for republican principles and for the election of Mr. Han- na to the Senate. The issue és sharply drawn, with silver and McLean on one side and gold and Hanna on the other. it is understood, however, that the McLean forces are weakening on silver to the ex- tent of not wanting it made the exclusive issue, and are trying to divert the cam- paign to an attack on Mr. Hanna. Mr. Hanna is not trying to avoid having his personality brought into the cam- paign, but is holding to the fight on prin- ciples. The indications are that the demo- crats are getting “rattled,” and that the republicans will carry the state. Gormanism an Issue in Maryland. In Maryland the important fight is over the senatorship. It is a question of the overthrow of Gorman or the re-establish- ment of Gormanism. The situation 1s so mixed that few wise people attempt pre- diction. Gorman has the anti-Gorman ele- ment in his own party to contend with, and the republican factions are more ur less at outs on account of the successful resistance to Mr. Wellington’s attempt to establish a republican bossism. Mixed Situation in New York. In New York the situation is even more mixed than in Maryland, but there is a little more indication as to the results. The democrats are divided into silver and gold factions, Tammanyites and anti-Tammany- ites. ‘The republicans have to contend with a division of their forces on account of the independent nomination of the Citizens’ Union in New York city, and with a small fragment of the anti-Platt republicans. In the general shake-up it looks as if the democrats might have now just a shade the best chance for the city officers, but would lose the judge of the court of ap- Peals. oe York city. es to Ohio, No Doabt in Massachusetts. The interesting feature of the Massa- chusetts election is found in the fact that the democrats have come out squarely for the Chicago platform. The result is not in doubt, but the interest is in knowing how large a vote the silver democrats can get in Massachusetts, with the election of the republican a foregone conclusion, Local Issues in Iowan. In Iowa very important local considera- tions enter into the fight. The democrats, in addition to making a fight on the old Bryan lines, are attacking the record of the present republican state officers, ac- cusing them of extravagance, &c. Strong speakers are being put into the state by both parties, and a hard fight is being made, but the chances of success are de- cidedly with the republicans. Fe Big Coalition in Nebraska. In Nebraska the democrats, populists, and silver republicans are united, and it is generally expected that they will win. Senator Thurston has gone into the Ohio campaign, as affording the more profit- able service to his party. In Kentucky the most interesting feature of the fight is the struggle between Black- burn and his silver followers, and the Car- lisle-Lindsay gold democrats.. : Quay and His Opponents. In Pennsylvania the democrats are not expected to count for much, but the fight is one between the Quay and the anti- Quay elements of the republican party. There is just a possibility of the democrats getting some advantage out of this fac- tional squabble, which is growing in bit- terness, but the issue is whether or not Quay shall continue as boss in Pennsyl- vania. in Virginia there is no regular republican ticket, that party dividing on the question of the advisability of making nominations. The democrats will elect the governor and Probably the legislature, which will re-elect Senator Daniel. The republicans, populists and some of the gold democrats are making a fight on an “honest election” issue in the legislative districts. Mix-Up in Colorado. In Colorado there is a great mix-up among the silver forces. The silver demo- crats have nominated a gold man for chief justice, and the nominee of the silver re- publicans has accepted a nomination also from the regular republicans, to the great disgust of the silver men. ‘The populists alone have a clear silver ticket in this silver state. —_—_e-_____. Fortunes From Garbage. From the Ladies’ Home Journal. The garbage of a great city is worth a fortune every year, if properly utilized. In St. Louis, Mo., the refuse is placed in enor- mous vertical cylinders, surrounded by steam jackets, which evaporate the sev- enty-five to eighty per cent of water in the garbage. The fatty substances are cis- solved, and as the result of a number of processes a fertilizer ts produced which is worth from $9 to $12 per ton, the demand exceeding the supply. One of the purest and best soaps of the.country was made of garbage grease before cotton seed oll en- tered the field.

SAKS AND COMPANY. “Saks’ Corner.” a and the entire fish has a pinkish appear- ance, “resembling a skinned catfsa. About the head, especiaily in the young fish, are many cilia or feelers, giving a fuzzy appearance in the case of the young fish. These feelers take the place of eyes to some extent, but in spite vf -hem the fish frequently runs against the wall of its cavern or some other obstacle; it is pro- tected from injury, however, by its long lower jaw, which acts as a bumper. In its native caverns the blind fish has practical- ly no enemies. It, therefore, is quite de- void of that shyness that characterizes most fishes, and it may be taken with the hand, if care is observed about meking any sudden jar that agitates the water. By means of its sensilive feelers it can recognize any motion about it in the wa- ter; but no amount of noise attracts its at- tention, for it seems to be as devoid of ears as of eyes. —- It is not quite correct, however, to imply RAD OF EVES [mens aun has no eyes.

Thus the crystal- line lens is represented by a mere dot, com- Fesed of but a few microscopic cells. The optic nerve is even more rudimentary, so that there is absolutely no nervous con- nection between the abortive eye and the brain. Thus it is absolutely certain that the blind fish cannot detect the slightest trace of light with its rudimentary eye. Yet, strangely enough, it has been deter- mined by Professor Eigenmann that the blind fish may appreciate the presence of ght in some other way. Its native cav- erns are absolutely dark—dark as no 1 ight ‘in the outer world -ever is.

It ap- ‘pears that there are ‘three species of them 1’ ‘known in the underground waters. of the { the ‘central states. ‘They are by no-means con- ‘fined to caves, but .are found e' the fact that the unpigmented pigment cells are sii found in its skin shows plainly enough that it is descended from a lish that hag use for such cells.

More thaa that, the depigmented cells have a bearing aiso on the question of variation through other processes than natural selection; tor it is argued that a creature Jiving in ihe dark, and moreover one having no predacious enemies, could be neithcr denefited nor m- jured by the presence of pigment in its skin; hence, that natural selection pure and simple cannot account for the loss of pigment. The blind tish would seem, thercfore, in regard to its rudimen- tary pigment cells, to offer an illustration of the change wrought by a changed en- vironment aud of loss through disease. This anomalous fish has yet another striking peculiarity ints manner of breed- ing.

These pieces were worth $1,700 each. The room where al! this casting was done was Dlisteringly hot. It was above the main floor of the wholesale department. The floor is covered with fron. Along one side are canopies of iron that look like the tops of bakers’ ovens. These canopies may be closed in front, and rest on platforms of iron in which are countersunk the places for the reception of the crucibles. The fuel is gas and air under pressure. Jt at- tacks the vessel of clay in which the plum- bago crucibles repose with a roar that can be heard a block away. A faint glow at first colors the clay pot, over which has been placed a cover, also of clay; then it becomes red and then white, while green- ish and biue flames play all around it.

Professor Eigenmann nas shown that there is a line that indicates where the gold ends and the vessel begins. When it has @ homogeneous compound, by an instinct bora of experience the operator ifts the cover; then the blast is with- drawn.
