The nomination OF Foraker meant the
putting Of Sherman on the track for the

dency in 1888. II would seem that
Sherman has succeeded in his initial
effort, and that now he is on the march
to the White House BY the United States
Senate chamber The distance. how
ever. from the starting point, Is a long
and devious one, and impeded bv many
very formidable obstacles; it Is hun

II is q supposable case that every Re-
publican in Ohio Is an aspirant for
Presidential honors, and there are ex-

has better claim to the place than

HOME INDUSTRIES.
How the Stone-Arch Bridge Can BE.
come a Public Blessing.

A committee from the Minneapolis Trades
and Labor assembly yesterday morning
waited upon the council committee upon
roads and bridges, to request that the stone
for the stone-arch bridge shall be dressed at
Minneapolis. If this is done, he said. a
large number of men win be given work,
and the bridge will be really benefit to
the citizens and all classes of trade will in
turn receive their proportion. If the stone
is brought here already dressed only few,
comparatively, will be employed. as the
bulk of the work consists in preparing the
stone. He thought that there would be
economy in bringing the stone to the city in
the rough, as the freight on dressed stone
will be almost double. The chips from the
stone can also be used as filling, another
saving.
r. II. Shadrick thought that the CITY
should foster home industry even if it cost
$40. 600. The city will lose more than that
if the principal part of the work goes to
out side parties.

AT nlgh mass yesterday at the Church OF
the immaculate Conception Father Henry
McGolriek preached an argumentative SER
mon on the dogma of the Immaculate Con-
ceptlon, quoting from Genesis, the Prophets
and the early Christian fathers. to show the
exalted dignity of the Mother of God.
After mass procession of young ladies to
the number of eighty. preceded by Father
McGolrick and the acoiytes, took place
through the asles of the church. Four of
the ladies bore a statue of the virgin EN-
bedded in flowers and during the process
sion the choir chanted the litany of the
Blessed Virgin. 1t was a beautiful and
impressive sight. The feast was appro-
prately observed in the other Catholic
churches. but with less imposing cere-
monies. At vespers at 4 o'clock Father
Mctiolrick Officiated and pronounced a
benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A
portion of the young ladies who partici
pated in the morning procession sang an
English hymn in honor of the Virgin. The

Largest Gold Nugget Ever Found
Chicago Inter-Ocean,

Louis Banding says the generally-ac-
cepted statement that the largest nugget
ever found in California was worth little
more than S21,O ZOO is erroneous. He says
that j. j. Finney, "Old Virginia" found
piece of gold about six miles from Downie-
vile. Sierra county, on the 21st day of Au-
gust, 1867, tina weighed 5000 ounces. The
gold of that vicinity was worth S1s an
ounce, which would make the value of the
nugget $50 900. This would make the Fin
ney nugget the largest piece Of pure gold
ever discovered, SO far as accounts go.
Heretofore the Australian nugget, found in
the Bollarat gold fields, has been considered
the largest. 1t was valued at $50. 900.
Fnney, or ''Old Virginia" as he was
Familiarity called in those days, afterward
went to Washoe when the great silver dis
coveries were made there. and from him the
town of Virginia City took its name. The
man who discovered the largest nugget in
the California Mines and gave his name to
the richest mining camp in the world, died
in extreme poverty.
