The Classics in Demand.
San Francisco Cronicle.

This part of California has got TO look
out. Southern California is coming mp
so fast that we snail not have time to turn
around before they have a college with a
president and a whole raft of professors.
There's place in southern California
where the classics are already in demand.
For years this place has drjfted along
without paying the faintest attention to
either the past or the future of the rest
of the world. But they are awake now.
They have already got full-blowp
stationery and book store. Now, when
community gets to that point where its
ladies can go and buy nOte-paper with
handsome monogram and envelopes TO
match, where already they are using the
sealing-wax and the initial stamp that
you can never quite make out, they are
becoming of almost metropolitan inpor-
tance. But if the book man could keep
no with them IL would be more dangerous.
He was in his store of learning the other
day when entleman who was month
or two ago an eastern tourist, but who IL
now Californian, entered.
Have you got Homer's "IliadH
Il beg yonr pardon,sir; / don't keey
patent medicines"
"Homer's aliad' is an alleged poem"
Indeed, Who is il byr'
"Pope."
.-Oh. Pope. All. If you had only mo
toned that it was one of Pope's works.
Well. of course, can hardly be expected
you know, to be familiar with all their
names."

THE LABOR CONVENTION.
Serious Discord Arises in the La Crosse
Labor Convention and no Nomina-
ti0nS are Made.
The Delegates in Attendance Come
Largely From Milwaukee and That
City Controls the Meeting.

THE POWELL-SCHILLING SHOW.

Proceedings OF the La Cresse Labor Conven-
tion-lt is Sickly Affair.
La CROSSE, July 1.-THE gathering
hosts three are already herel clearly
show that the Powell Schilling convention
is composed of innocents as politicians
DR.. Powell is the soul of the mighty
political uprising in this section and his
energy is away ahead of his experience
The convention here to-day may be rep
resentative of labor but the great num-
Der of the delegates are acting almost
entirely upon their own authority. The
farcical convention" of seven city men
which nominated the La Crosse county
delegation of thirteen last Saturday, was
apologiZed for by a "mass convention" of
about 100 last evening, who ratified the
work of the industrious seven. But the
hundred weren't wholly hapay. There
were outcroppings of local iealousies, and
actlonal differences.
The forces in the new revolution seem
to have been mostly secured by draft
hereabouts. l.. Shumway, the delegate
from Wood county with the credentials to
cast six votes, came to La Crosse on bust
ness Saturday. He met Senator" Cram.
Senator Cram is chiefly distinguished as
cousin of a famous Brahma breeder, Il.
B. Hayes, of Fremont, O. Senator"
Cram has been out in the tall timber look
ing up delegates for DR.. Powell. After
meeting Senator Cram, Mr.. Shumway
met DR.. Powell. The doctor in
vited Mr.. Shumway to remain in
La Crosse and serve as dele
gate. DR.. Powell telegraphed to a Mr..
Thayer, of Wood county. Mr.. Thayer
called a mass convention at Pittsville
which nominated six delegates and to-
day Mr.. Thayer arrived with the six
votes for Mr.. Shumway. Mr.. Shumway
has enjoyed his visit in La Crosse.
Mr.. James Hewey is delegate from
Vernon county. He is republican and
an ex-sheriff of Gov. Rusk's home county.
Mr., Hewey says the Verona county labor
convention consisted exclusively of re-
publicans. They are prone to criticise
Gov. Rusk's expenditure of $4,000 for
killing three Polanders at Bay View. The
Vernon county delegation is against the
Powell movement, and Hewey says: Il
have always voted the republican ticket
but Gabe Bouck is good enough candidate
for me this year"
Bouck and what he suspects is an effort
of Bouck's friends to steal his own CON
vention. He declares that he does not
want to run, but knows he can beat both
Rusk and Bouck.

A Tail Of a Kite.

Amos Evers, of this village, is the hero
of one of the most remarkable adventures
which ever fell TO the lot of any man.
writes an Alpena, W. Va, correspondent
of The st. Louis Republican 1t has
been the custom for the mail portion of
the village to make huge kites and fly
them with thick cords. This year it was
determined that all previous efforts should
be outdone. A monster kite of the follow
ing dimensions was constructed: Ex-
treme hight, feet 4inches; width across
the top, feet inches; width across the
bottom, feet: extreme width across the
middle. feet 6 inches. The framework
was built of tough hickory, shaved thin
and stayed with one-eighs inch copper
wire. A double thickness of heavy
muslin was stretched on each side of the
frame, and the place for fastening the
fy- cord was doubly braced with yellow
pine scantling quarter inch thick. Into
this was screwed ring bolt, which was
clampted on the other side with an iron
pin. The ring itself was five inches in
diameter and capable of bearing four or
five hundred weight.
The kite complete weighed ninty SIX
pounds. The tail was made of sixteen
foot rope, weighted with lead. Instead
of the-usual flying cord two hundred
yards of closely wound manila rope, very

light but as strong as double link chain
were procured. When the kite was
finished there was general iollification..
The kite was secured TO tree and Evers,
who was pretty drunk, wetched it while
the Others were imbibing. Evers after
time got tired of holding the rope and
wound it round his own body. There
was stiff breeze blowing at the time,
and when the men came out of the gro
Gerry there was the kite high in the air
and Evers hanging 10 the tail. He quickly
disappeared from view, and as no trace of
him could be found during the next few
days he was given up for lost.
Eight days after his flight he walked
into the village and told how he had been
carried to Milback, Hampshire county,
seventy miles, as the crow flies, from
Alpena. In his journey he crossed seven
rivers and two ranges of the Alleghenies.
He was discovered by two gentlemen in
an unconscious condition. who attended
TO him and accompanied him back TO
Apena. There is no doubt about the
truth Of his story.

Day.
Sr. LOUIS, July 1.-THE situation at

more serious every day. The strikers are

selves shall work the mines and the op-
orators are Just as determined that they
will conduct their business without inter
ference or dictation from any body of
men. A force of thirtyfive deputies con-
stantly guard the mines.
A large number of plantation negroes
