Sewing n Cut FINGER.

Many persons are familiar with the
common remedy for cut, of sewing it
up. have seen persons suffer great in
convenience from comparatively small
wound at the end of finger and thumb,
because they did rot know how to apply
the remedy. Wait till the bleeding has
ceased, and then with fine cambria
needle with silk thread not more than
an inch or two long, or three inches at
most, take up small stitch in the skin
and not into the flesh, draw only toward
the cut, right and left, which tends TO
draw the parts together. and never draw
from the cut which only opens it. The
relief thus afforded is understood only
by those who have tried in. A hired
man had cut the end Of his thumb,
while engaged in mechanical saork, and
it annoyed linn excessively. drew the
parts together witb a ane thread and
needle; be was astonished at the relief,
and had no further trouble with it.

Harrisburg Swarms with Democrats Who
 Will Attend the State Convention-The
 Probable Action.
 HARRISBURG, May 22-To-morrow's con vention is the loadstone which is attracting Democrats to this city from all parts of the state. Within the next two days all the prominent Democratic leaders, with the ex- ception of Congressman Randall, who fully realizes that he is outside the fold, will be here. Congressman Scott, about whom all the lesser lights cluster, has arrived and reg istered at the Bolton house, where Chairman Kisner has established his headquarters
 As yet few delegates have arrived and the political prophet is without a vocation. Ex- Chairman Hensel has been slated for tempo rary chairman. William A. Wallace will be permanent chairman. The death of Auditor General Norris caused some comment for a time as to the complications likely to arise from the nomination of a candidate for that office, but it was agreed to let the state com mittee name the candidate hereafter,
 For delegates at large ex-Congressman Mutchler, ex-Attorney General Cassida and Congressman Scott are on the slate The name of Charles A. Boyle, of Philadelphia, is also there, but R. Milton Speer, of Hun tingdon, will probably supplant him, if it can be accomplished. Mir. Speer says the press has misrepresented his attitude toward President Cleveland. He is in harmony with the administration. In the platform there will be strong tariff reform plank.

 caEo-Distrfbution of Tickets.
 CHICAGO. May 22-The subcommittee of the national Republican committee has been in session in Chicago for three days arrang- ing the details of the convention The seat ing capacity is 1000, thus necessitating Q smaller apportionment of seats than hereto fore. The committee has decided to give to each delegate three general tickets for dis tribution and one press ticket to each dele gate, thus enabling the delegates to take care of the local press in their district and state.
 One hundred and forty seven working seats at tables are provided for each of the larger daily newspapers, which will make up and send out from the hall special telegraphic re ports to supplement sthe verbatim report Of the Associated Press No other papers ex- cepting those sending out such special re ports can have representation at these tables. The largest number of working tick cts of seats given to any paper will be three. The greater portion of the daily papers taking reports will have but one seat Alter nate delegates will have no tickets except their own. It has been the usual custom to give to the city where the national conven- tlon IS held b per cent. of the tickets. The committee has reduced this to 10 per cent. The remaining tickets will be divided between the press. members of congress, governors of states and distinguished guests.

 PORTLAND, Me-, May 22.-Every hotel in the city was full last night, and many delegates to the democratic convention sought shelter in private houses. More are pouring in this morning. Payson Tucker has declined the nomination for governor on account of his business, and the fight is now between Putnam and Deering, both of Portland.
 AUGUSTA, Me-, May 22.-The friends of William T. Putnam, appointees of Presi- dent Cleveland to the fishery commission, have induced him to accept the nomination of governor, and there seems to be no doubt he will be nominated by accla- nation.
 1O:3O a. m three thousand people have arrived within the last hour. All delegates are buttoned-holed in the interest of Put nam. It is stated that his nomination would please Cleveland. The hall is fast filling up. A spec1al train from Lewiston has just arrived, bringing 1000 men head ed by a band who marched in a body to the hall. On their breast they wear white silk badges, the same as was worn by the Cleveland club at the inauguration On the ribbon is embossed fine picture of Cleveland and the words Cleveland for 1S88."
 The convention was called to order at noon by Hon. s. s. Brown.

The Charm of Americans.


 As have frequently had occasion to remark, there are no people so attractive to Englishmen as are Americans. But they must be Americans, not painted and patched up EnSishmen. The charm that lies hid in every American, to English eyes q except, of course, American heir esses, for we all know wherein their charm lies, not hid, but very apparent), consists in their Americanism. wish I could make myself understood, and that any anglomaniac, either incipient or set- tied, premonitory or chronic, who may chance to read these words will at once 'sswear off" and become good, sound American citizen, with American cus- toms, habits, style of dress and language. His efforts to become English are vain. He imposes on no one but himself. He thinks he is an Englishman, but he is only an anglomaniac-and an anglo maniac, pure and simple, he remains to the end of the chapter.-"Cockaigne" in The Argonaut.

An Important Ra.e Change.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 22.-1t has leaked out here that the managers of the Minneapolis and Chicago lines reached an important agreement with respect to rates in Chicago last Thursday. It is stated, in substance that on June 1. the other roads are to reduce their Minneapolis to the seaboard rates to the figure now held by the Burlington, which gets as its share thirty-one cents, first class, and that on the same date the Burlington is to revise its Minneapolis-C Chicago rate to an equality with that now held by the other roads-sixty-th cents. This gives the twin cities an important advantage in through rates. and is not likely to be relieved by Chicago jobbers

The Hodja and His Property.

An Oriental fable which illustrates the western proverb, 'Give him an inch and he will take an ell" is narrated in the Diversions of our late minister to Turkey, s. s. Cox.
 The hodja having built a house, offered it for sale. A purchaser appears, the house is sold, but the hodja asks as favor that he be allowed to drive a nail in the wall of one of the rooms-the nail to be his own property. The favor is granted.
 Shortly after the buyer has settled him. self in the house he hears knock at mid night. Descending to the outer door, he asks, ''Who is there?"
 ''It is l." says the hodja. 'I wish to tie string on my nail.'' He is allowed to enter.
 Three days after another knock is heard at midnight. "What is wanting2" asks the man of the house.
 ''I pray you, good friend, let me enter," answers the hodja. II wish to unite that string from my property"
 Again and again this performance is repeated, until the purchaser, tired of dancing attendance on the owner of the nail, sells the house for song-and the hodja buys it.-Youth'e Companion.

Bolander. real estate agent at 354 Carroll avenue, was passing in front of saloon in the locality mentioned, slight looking man, dressed in black clothes, and wearing a heavy black mustache, was lean ing over a fence, apparently lost in thought. Suddenly as Bolander passed the man wheeled around and fired revolver point blank at him. Bolander staggered back. The bullet grazed but didn't hit him. He sprang upon his assailant and held him until officers came and took both to the Desplaines street sta tion. On arriving at the station Bolander told Capt. Lewis that his assailant was a woman in disguise This proved to be true. It is said that the woman is known as Lillie Richmond and that at one time she lived with Bolander.
