Chairman Cessna of the Pennsylvania dele
CATION. visited Indiana and on his own re-
sponsibility, but claiming to represent
most of his delegation, offered to turn the
vote of Pei nsylvania over in support Of
ticket composed of Edmunds and Harrison.
The Indiana delegation did not discuss the
matter seriously, as Harrison is said to object
to the PLAN
Sherman's friends claim their candidate
will receive over 100 votes on the first ballot
and that when Beck comes he will be the IA
vorite. The Kentucky delegation held
caucus to-day and re-affirmed the resolution
of the State convention which instructs them
to vote as a unit. Mr.. Hubburd states
that notwithstanding their action, four of the
delegates will disregard this instruction.
At midnight in the committee on creden-
tials, Kirk Thomas had just concluded pre-
senting the case of contesfing delegates. He
not only claimed that the convention should
seat the 90 delegates from the ten contesting
districts, but that it should declare seats Of
the four delegates ut large vacant, on the
ground that they were chosen by State
convention in which q majority had been
obtained by improper exclusion Of the regu-
larry appointed delegates from Cook county,
citing the vote which gave only q majority Of
50 against seating solid Farwell Hall dele
CATION of92, which would have shown q ma
jority the other way had the Sc uncontested
delegates from Cook county not been
excluded from the convention. The commit
tee has limited the time of presentation of the
case to 8 hours, but Ingersoll will make the
concluding argument for the contestants,
after E. A. Storer has presented the case Of
sitting delegates. A member Of the commit
tee said there was no doubt the contestants
would be seated and probably the seats Of
the delegates-at-large would be vacated, but
that . vote would probably NOT be taken in

Safety OF Nihilists In the Great Cities
I of Russia.

"It is by no means necessary" writes
correspondent of the Cologne Gazette,
"that Nihilist should bury himself in
the interior of the country to evade de-
lection, for he can reside with much
greater safety to himself in st. Peters
burg or Moscow than in any obscure vii
lage of some remote province. In the
new Capital, for instance, many thou
sands of persons of both sexes are resi-
dent who possess no permit or pass, as
prescribed by law, and get on perfectly
well without any justificatory document
whatsoever. There are people in this
town who have lived here for dozens of
years without permits, although every
body is required upon changing his or
her lodgings to produce an official pass
port at the district police Office, and to
have it stamped by the competent au-
thority, and although house-owners,
dvorniks (porters) and police officers
expose themselves to heavy penalties if
any one for whom they can be held re-
sponsible be found not to possess a pass.
Do you wish to know how this is man.

have to do is to make the acquaintance
of the police officer in whose beat your

That piece of paper will serve you in ev'

THE KINGS PETITION.

An Eastern King, of ancient time whose line.

Called both his sons about him when he was

And said; "shayone, my youngest, and you,

Give me your youth and beauty, and take my
mournful age.

be by care;
But now the slightest burden is more than 1

But he who was the eldest replied: "Not l, in
truth,
know no radiant jewel so precious as my
Youth,
For, now the blue horizon stands beckoning
The Joyous view entices. So do not me i'm,
plore"
The King looked sad and moody at such stiff
reply,
youth fleeted by.
But wished him all he hoped ior, though feel
ing very sore, -
TO think the years behind him would come
not any more. a.
Then fair Shayone, the youngest, gold haired
and aZel.eyed,
Beloved of all the household, drew gently to
his side
And said to him: "My father, love you well,
in truth.
Here, take the gifts you long for-my Beauty
and my Youth.

blue;
But all that shines before me proffer now to
you.
Your wise career is more 20 me than Time can
well unfold,
So you shall be the young man, and will be
the old"
Then King Jajat thanked him, and wished
him health and bliss,
And printed on his forehead fathers tender
kiss;
But Death came on, and. dying, he said: My
dear Shayone,
go where Youth is endless, and leave to you
my throne"
Obi better far than riches, or kingly power, in

A wedding occurred in the parlors OF
the Whitcqlnb House yesterday noon'
which, of its nature, we think is unpar-
alleled in the history of Rochester. 1t
was no less than the marriage OF two
members of the Liliputian Opera Com
panv, which has just concluded sue
cessful engagement of three nights at
the Grand Opera-house.
The fairy lady who deserted the ranks
of spinsterhood to assume the cares
and responsibilities of wife,, was he-
becca Ann Myers, the second soprano,
of the company, and who IS by ac'uai
measurement Just thirty-one inches IN
height. She is decided blonde, has
sparkling blue eyes, perfect and sym
metrical figure, and is, upon the WHOLE
as Liliputians go, decided beauty.
She is remarkably intelligent, has a
good education, is brilliant conversa-
tionalst, and since her engagement with
the opera company has made rapid
PROGRESS in music. She was born near
Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind, and
will be twenty-seven years old the 81 OF
April. ,,e,
The bridegroom, Reuben Allen Steere,
was born in the village of Gloucester,
RI. Oct. 10, thirty-three years ago:
He is thrty-iive inches in height, and OF
slim build. He is the only one OF the
Liliputians who has any beard, quite a
"killing" mustache and goatee adorn-
ing his manly face.
It is almost an impossibility to de-
scribe the toilets of the bride and maids,
so ingenious were they in construction
and STYLE. The dresses of the bride and
Miss Quigley were almost similar ana
consisted of pale blue gros grain SILK
and plated pale pink satin' with tuile
lace trimmings, and ornaments OF dia-
monds, the former having under her
tinv veil profusion of orange blossoms.
Both dresses were cut princesse. Miss
Belton's dress consisted of plum-colol co
silk and black velvet, with ornaments OF
diamonds. The groom wore an English
cutaway walking coat, and his best men

A DARING robbery of gold bullion oc,
cured at Sidney, Neb., on the 10th. En-
trance was effected through the floor of
the express office while the agent was at
dinner, and four hundred and eighty
pounds of bullion, which had just come
in on the Black Hills treasure-coach,
was carried off. Fortunately the weight
of the treasure was too great for the
robbers to carry any distance, SO they
secreted the most of it in coal pile
where it was soon afterward found. II
is estimated that they cleared about
$4,000 by the operation-should they

THE ROBBER OF ST. GERyAIs.

One cold, clustering morning, late in
the fall, man who walked with Il
crutch and short staff was on the road
from Lodove to St. Gervais, in the de-
partment of Herault, away in the south
ern part of France. The traveller was
an old man, perhaps five and fifty, with
a face very dark from long and constant
exposure, and with stone-gray beard
and mustache. An old gray overcoat
completely enveloped mis- person, but it
was plainly to be seen that he had only
one leg. The road was very muddy
and cold, drizzling mist was falling,
and though it was well into the evening
yet there was light enough to distinguish
the way, for away beyond the clouds
and the mist a bright moon was shining,
and though even its whereabouts could
not be made out, yet it served to make
visible what must otherwise have been
enveloped in utter darkness.
The old man hobbies on, planting his
crutch and staff carefully on the treach.

slowly on his way. 1t was near nine
O'Clock when he reached the little copse
Of swamp-wood that ,ar at the edge OF
the village of st. Gervais. Here it was
somewhat darker, and he made his way
more carefully. He had just reached
the edge of the copse when his attention
was attracted by noise close by him
and in moment more a human being
stood in the road before him. The new
conner was slight-built, person. as the
old man could distinctly see, and mos
probably youth. He had surely come
from the wood.

BETTY AT THE BARN-DOOR.

The cows are housed, the milking done,
The sheep are in the fold;
/ hear the vespers of the birds
Across the dewy void.
The mowers from the marsh come late,
The sunset bells have tolled,
j see them loom, like silhouettes,
Against the sunset gold.
And flushing DER their loosened sails,
From some last lingering ray,
A fleet of homeward fishing boats
Comes ripping up the bay.
/ hear the closing of the forge
That clinks across the way,
And, as he dotfs his frock, the strain
Of Georges roundalay.

He will beside me be,
While fisherJohn comes from the wharves
And Joseph from the lee
My heart is torn to choose Detwixt,
With all -wooing me;
