The Old Fashioned Cork.

1t is a curious fact that for nearly two
centuries inventors have in vain tried to
improve upon the tight fitting cylindrical
cork. Nothing has yet been produced to
supersede the cork that Dom Periguon
devised, and which is used today, as it
was 175 years ago, in bottling cham
pagnes. 1t is cheap, it is effective, and
in either of these qualities none of the
modern eccentricihes in bottles and corks
can touch it-New York Press.

WORSE AND MORE OF 1T.
The Fight Was Hotter Than Ever
---BaiIey Still on Top.

The committees retired and the con-
vention took half hours recess. Upon
reassembling, A. n. Jordan read the list
of delegates, which admitted all the
proxies ruled out of the pre-
liminary organization, and was
adopted. The committee on per-
manent organization reported in
favor of continuing the temporary Or
ganization, which course was taken
without objection. Afterward p. IL.
Shadrick said the report was railroaded
through and nobody heard it. but the
convention at once became bedlam, and
for five minutes nothing could be
heard, thought Shadrick kept his posi-
tion and gesticulated wildly. Finally
he was got down, and then Ed Stevens
got the floor, only to be received with
the same kind of an uproar. and was
compelled to Subside. Then Shadrick
got the floor and moved to reconsider
the vote by which the report of the COM
mittee on permanent organization was
carried. 1t was heard, but the noise
was not lessened in the least, but rather
increased. A dozen angry men were on
their chairs at once, and the din and
confusion were indescribable. In the
midst of the trouble Col. Glenn got the
stage and asked every friend of his to
remain quiet and in gentlemanly man
ner conduct the business of the cOnven-
vention. This acted like a charm,
and everything became still, but
when Shadrick arose the trouble was
renewed and carried on as usual. No
words conId fifty convey an idea of the
uprOar of the scene. Men seemed to
lose control of themselves altogether,
and the appearance Oh the floor of a
partisan of either side. was the signal
for Kisses and shouts that made speak
ing impossible. Finally Col. Glenn got
the floor, and saying it was impossible
to do any business, moved to adjourn
until 10 a. IN. Monday. The vote was
close, and on the call for divis-
ion. the uproar was tremendous.

the stage and made an appeal

This brought the convention down to
its real business, and G.. A. Gallagher
rose to nominate r. l.. Penny. He said
the Office was the most important to be
filled-that of county attorney. He gave
him royal send-Off, and several warm
seconds poured in. Hector Mclean
nominated William G. Hollins, and,
after a little skirmlshing, the name was
withdrawn, and Penny was nominated
by acclamatiOn. He was brought to the
stage and made a pretty little speech of
acceptance.
For county auditor, A. G.. Sanderson
named r. s. n. SartZ, who was nomi-
mated by acclamation.
For clerk of the courts, j. K. Corrigan
named Matthew Gallagher. William Ii.
Donahue nominated Titus Mareck, in a
very taking speech. Matthew Gallagher
was given the privilege of the floor, and
stated that he would not have been
candidate had he known
Mareck was candidate, but he believed
him to be a candidate for register of
deeds. He implicated Col. Glenn IN
some way, which brought him to the
stage. The colonel was sarcastic and
said: ''If the individual who has just
left the stage says his name was on
every tongue, he lies" This was greeted
with Misses and a repetition of the
former scenes was threatened, but
averted. A ballot was ordered and re-
suited: Mareck, 120; Gallagher, "a.

Scenes That Would Have Set

A Fight Which Began on Tenn

THE YICkET.

The lotus grows in the mud. Out of
the slime and the slum the fights, feuds
aud ferceness of the worst convention
that ever disgraced Hennepin county
good ticket has sprung. 1t is a ticket
so good that it shows the party was
struggling for one end, but took sin
gular diversity of routes to go there.
This is strong language, but moth
ing else could fifty describe the
scenes that partoOk more OF
the character of orgies than of the de-
Iiberations of men. To look back over
the convention is to recall a series Of
scenes never paralleled in delibera-
tive body, and that would have set
the sand lots wild With envy. Ordi-
narily calm men took leave of their
senses, while those usually conspicu-
Gus in such scenes became little
less than raying maniacs. Still
the ticket is a good one, take
it all in all, and will commend itself to
the voters of the county. 1t may have
ONE WEAK SPOT,
which will disclose itself to piercing
eyes, but the new ticket is unusually
strong and will be elected, as it should
be. AS to the convention itself,
the sooner it is forgotten the
better. 1t began on a false promise,
and that raised a wind mill, and the
convention resolved itself into Don
QuiXote and charged that wind mill,
only to be overturned and upset. The
old fight came out and the old sore was
reopened in spite of the tact displayed
by the bitter spirits during the earlier
hours. led only the few turbulent NAL
contents. A bitter fight was sprung
for temporary chairman, involving
4. T. Ankeny and P. P. Winston,
neither of whom desired it, and the
withdrawal of both, however ar
bitrary, was the best after all.
The election of Judge Bailey did
not meet the emergency, and under
his feeble control the convention
went through its noisy and wild career.
And it kept it up until after the quiet
Of a Sabbath had come to calm the rag
ing spirits. The convention goes into
history, and it will occupy a large
sized and conspicuous niche. 1t will
not affect the canvass. Snch fights are
but evidences of vigOr. There will be
no sIeeD in this campaign from now on.

Judge Bailey Elected as a Com

quietly while the call was read, and was
followed by reading of the list of dele

floor, and shook out his shoulders pre-
peratory to a speech. Then the fervid

The confusion began to grow at this
point and an indefinite something
oOmed up in the convention. A war
was imminent, but no one could tell
over what, or what danger was impend-
ng. 1t was a spectre of bOSSism, but
only a spectre, and the convention
ought it like a party OF boys. Chair
man Rinehart here asserted himself and
made a ruling that fairly paralyZed the
convention. 1t was that the convention
was not organized, was not yet delib-
sratIve body and no proxies would be
recognized. This ruled out both An
leny and ThurStOn and threw hush Of
surprise over the convention.
Ed A. Stevens said he wanted no mis-
understanding in what he should say.
he was ''for Albert Ames for governor,

vas nominated, |, like other loyal
Democrats, am for Hon. E. NJ. Wilson" :"

would appoint a county committee that
would be in full sympathy with the

ras no Ames fight in the matter. and

John Lilly interrupted with point of

THE ABOVE REQUEST is HEARD
l. da ly il, cigar stores, saloons and
other p aces where cigars are sold, for
it is an undisputed fact that most smokers
prefer a mild cigar and that those who
have for long time smoked strong
cigars, principally imported Manilas,
will, after having thoroughly injured
the stomach and impaired the nervous
system, surely want mild cigar, if they
could find the right kind.
How many thousands of smokers who
suffer from loss of appetite, headache,
nervous irritability, asthma, etc., and
who have tried all possible remedies
without success, might be cured if they
knew that their sufferings were caused
by the Incorporate use of strong cigars,
and that they should only smoke mild
and properly prepared ones.
1t is fact that all mild cigars agree
well with smokers, for in most cases
there is lack of care in the selection of
the tobacco, and often the necessary ex-
perience for it is wanting, yet there is
one brand which suits the most fastidious
smoker, and that is

BALTIMORE, June ST. Harrison
Garrett, brother of Robert Garrett, and
manager of the banking firm of Robert
Garrett & Sons OF this city, was drowned
last night in the Palapsco river. His
yacht, Clean. in which he and a party of
friends were coming to Baltimore from
Annapolis, was run down by the steamer
Joppa and sunk, being struck amidships
and almost cut in two. According to the
accounts all hands on the Clean were
rescued except Garrett. When the Joppa
struck the yacht Garrett sprang and
grabbed the bow chain OF the steamer and
held on until it parted, her he fell over
board. Although a good swimmer he
did not rise to the surface. The rest of
the party were rescued by the crews of the
Joppa and CLEAN.
Mrs. Garrett was completely Frustrated
by the news of her husbands death.
The guests of Garrett were Gen. r.

A writer in The Chinese Times, dis
cussing the contents Of The Pekin
Gazette, says that the state papers are re-
markable. The imperial proclamations
especially are always composed in the
finest style. and it often happens that
papers Of ONE ''are written with ex-
treme beauty and perfectness of compo-
sition, vivid with grace and majesty of
language" Even In the minor reports
these rare merits are to be seen in the
~closeness Of style, times Of expression,
clearness and condensation; and where
analysis, or reasoning, or precise judg-
ment Is to be presented, the papers show
the hands of mastery writers.
The extreme diversity Of the papers Is
what should strike the mind of a foreign
inquirer; some treat of high politics and
of great events; others deal with crimes,
questions of disputed inheritance; others
again are the reports of commissioner
appointed to investigate the conduct of
high officials in the provinces. and these
show rare analytical power, mastery Of
detail and untiring labor" The writer
thinks that. Judging Of what is known Of
1.-The slow ways, the enforced secrecy,
decentralization and official and personal
influences often brought to bear at home,
the methods of China are in some ways
more direct, expeditions and fair, as~far
as the indications of justice is concerned"
