HENNEpIN's DELEGATION
Excited Over an Attempt to Buy
Proxies Yesterday.

The Hennepin county delegation to
to-day's convention at st. Paul held a
little caucus, quite informally, last night,
not all of the delegates being present.
No little excitement and indig-
nation were created by the fact
that an effort is to be made to buy up
proxies. One case was that of Fred
Brueschaber, of the First ward. Yes
terday afternoon man with whom he
was acquainted, came to his place Of
business and said:
81 am particularly anxious to go to
the convention, and if you don't care to
go, Fll give you S25 for your proxy"
Fred replied that he did not need the
money and would go himself. His Wis
itor raised him SO and became i'm
Fortunate, but Fred grew indignant and
refuSec to sell it. Before quitting him
the stranger wanted to know if it could
not be made an object to him to sell
out, but Bruechaber replied that $500
would not induce him to sell.
The friends of Mayor Ames were
indignant when this was announced

UNIVERSAL COMMENT.
RATS !! !

The Republican state convention that
met in St. Paul yesterday was the most
thoroughly disorganized and badly con-
trolled convention that has met in st.
Paul for years. 1t opened like a
Quakers' meeting. and closed in con-
fusion and dissensiOn, productive of
the worst results. In brief, the result
of the convention was the smashing of
the machine states of Henry A Castle
and Gen. w. d. Washburn in Ramsey
and Hennepin counties; the triumph of
the young Republicans in the election
of F. F. Davis, of Minneapolis, over
them both; the passage of a protection
tariff platform. and the nomination of a
state electoral ticket conspicuous for its
weakness. Yesterdays convention was
a triumph for Gresham in this sense,
that if Mr.. Blaine is not candidate.
Mimnesota's delegation will be for
Gresham. If Blaine is candidate, the
majority of the delegation will support
him.

now use crowbar, with which we

The Mechanical Arts.

We have seen how the literary esau-
cation which we now consider so css-
sential was regarded in England-as
ungentlemanly. 1t is not SO long since
the physician sor leech was. as Hallan
says, IAN inexflaustible theme of pop
;ular ridicule." The BARRIERS pole. SO
common in our streets, recalls a time,
not so long past. when the barber prae-
tieed bloed-letting and other medical
arts. It is within our own memory that
the dentist stood on a level with the
barber; indeed, the two were often the
same person. How is it that all this is
changed. that literature, medicine and
dentistry have become gentlemanly Oc-
equations? Simply, think, because
they are now thought scientifically and
institutions have been established for
that purpose. 1t may be Laid down -
a general rule that whatever is taugn

EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES.
Important Facts Established by ReceI
Medical Report.

Medical Report.
DR.. W. ID. Hodges read, some months
ago, before the Suffolk Medical So
ciety a paper on an epidemic of
measles in an institution for children
over which he presides.
A child who was supposed to be SUI
| fering merely from a severe cold was
brought to the institution, and imme-
/ diately placed in the sick ward. With
| in twenty-four hours an eruption ap-
peared, which proved to be measles.
Three children, who were that day
discharged from the sick ward. devel-
| oped the disease, the one in nine days,
the others in eleven days. 1t spread
among the inmates until of sixty-fve
all but twenty took it. and of the eX-
ceptions ten were sent away, and eight
had already had it. In the case of the
other two. no information on this
point could be obtained. OF the
forty-five patients. five died. The erup-
ton was at its height on the fifth and
sixth days, and lasted from twelve to
fourteen days. In over one-haH of the
cases there was Inflammation of the
ear. In only one case was there con-
vulsions. which came three days before
the eruption. This child made a rapid
recovery. The treatment consisted
mainly in cleanliness and the regula-
ton of the diet.
The following facts seem to be es-
tablished:
1. The wonderful contagiousness of
measels.
2. The tendency to communicate it
self from, at least, the earliest visible
stage.
8. The interval between the exposure
and the eruption is from nine to twelve
days.
4. Its fatality is mainly from its COM
plication with other diseases, develop
ed by it.
5. In a majority of cases, there is a
tendency to produce more or less in
Illumination of the ear-an important
fact for parents to bear in mind.
6. The tendency to cause commissions
is very slight.
Z. There is generally a tendency to
inflammation of the eyes. DR.. Hodges
treatment for this was to apply a solrl-
ton of borax, glycerine and water.
In the discussion of the paper. DIR.
Durgin, of the Beard of Health, af-
firmed that there was prevalent a mis-
taken feeling of security in the case of
measles. Since 1865 there had been
in Boston eleven hundred and seven
teen deaths from this disease-an aver
age of forty-eight a year. Such
yearly average from smallpox would
startle the community. In one year
there were one hundred and fifty-two
fatal cases.
1t was voted by the society that the
Board of Health should care for cases
of measles, as is done in smallpox and
scarlet fever. 1t was intended that this
vote should authorize the board to go
to the house, give advice in respect to
Isolation and disinfection, and see that
the advice was followed Youths COM

The sanitary press is discussing
the advantage and disadvantage of hav-

conclusion is that no tree should be

the earth also. Sunshine should have
access to house at all times.

Ham and potatoes: Beat the
yelks of two eggs into a little melted
butter (about two ounces), cut some
thin slices of cooked ham, dip them in
it; butter a dish or pan, and lay in it a
layer of cold boiled and sliced pota-
toes, sprinkle them with pepper and
salt, then put layer of the pieces of
ham, another of potatoes, and so on
till the dish be full, finishing with the
potatoes. Pour over this half pint
of cream, stand the dish in the oven
and bake quickly.
