battle for the old Roman here in St. Louis
as he did in Chicago four years ago for
Bayard. Predictions and bets are being
freely made that Thurman will 90 through
with a rush. When Ohio placed it's red
bandana up for Thurman, cries of "That
settles it" were heard on all hands, for
it had been rumored that the Ohio men
were not for him. William r. Morrison
of Illinois sat with his delegation, which by
the way, is touching elbows almost across
the aisle from the Massachusetts men.
Gen. Collins introduced Corcoran, French,
Alger and other members to the distin-
gnished member of the interst ate COM
merce commission.
The speech of the presiding officer con-
cluded, the convention proceeded to the
routine work of announcing the commit
tees on credentials, on permanent Organi-
zatiOn and on resolutions.
AS the names of the committee on plat
form were announced those who have been
the longest about national conventions
were amazed to notice the number of new
and unknown men who are placed upon
this great committee. Not less surprise
was manifested at the omissions from the
list. 1t had been supposed that Mr.. Nor
risOn might be chairman of the committee
on resolutions, but he is not even a mem
ber of it. 1t was thought that perhaps
w. l.. Scott, who has been such an aggres-
sive leader of the revenue reform move
ment, might be on the committee on reso-
lutions. but Mr.. Scott is not member of
the committee on resolutions. Yet Mr..
German is member of the COM
mittee on resolutions. and next to
Mr.. Watterson is undoubtedly the most
aggressive person on it. While he is
man of infinitely more parliamentary re-
sources, and while he is what men of the
Watterson school would probably call a
protectionist Democrat, he is much nearer
to the administration than Mr.. Waiter
son.
tbs Mr.. German who is the presidents
choice as the manager of the next presi-
dental campaign, and not Mr.. Watterson
or Mr.. Scott. 1t remains to be seen
whether the knowledge of this fact will
have any effect upon the proceedings Of
the committee on resolutions in the
national convention.
The only applause which followed the
announcement of the names of the mem
bers of the platform committee came
when the names of Henry Watterson
and Senator German We're read out.

Committee Score Victory.
ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The committee on
resolutions met in secret session at )
o'clock yesterday afternoon ia the parlors
of the national Democratic committee at
the Southern hotel. The names of Henry
M. Watterson of Kentucky and Senator
A. p. German of Maryland were put in
nomination for the craftsmanship. and the
result was the election of the former upon
the first ballot by a vote of % to 90, four
members not voting. At the suggestion
of Senator German, Mr.. Watterson's
nomination was made unanimous, and
upon t; king the chaff, the latter remarked
pleasantly that had the committee known
how nearly in harmony were the two can
didates, the election would probably not
have been deemed necessary On motion
Of Mr.. German a subcommittee of nine
was appointed to draft resolutions and
report to the full committee at its rect
ing.

Chairman William H. Barnum [whose
portrait follows] presented the report
of the national committee naming Lieu
tenant Governor White of California as
temporary chairman. The report was
unanimously adopted and Senator Cor
man of Maryland, Gen. Powell of Ohio
and Col Dawes of South Carolina were
appointed to escort the temporary chair
man to the platform. His appearance
was greeted with a double round of
applause. and when it had sub
sided, in clear, ringing voice,
which penetrated to the farthest eX
tremity of the hall, he delivered an elo-
quent speech. His reference to CalifOrnia's
Democratic antecedents were greeted with
cheers, which were renewed when he spoke
of the fact that for the first time in many
years Democratic convention met under
a Democratic administration. The first
mention of Grover Clevelands name
evoked the most pronounced en-
thusiasm of the day, the delegates
rising to their feet and cheering
heartily, while hats and handker-
chiefs were waved in the air. The cOnven-
ton broke into applause again when the
tariff was referred to, and every sentence
thereafter was punctuated with marks of
appreciation. During the delivery of the
speech, the rear portions of the hall and
galleries filled up, and before it had been
concluded IA vast crowd, extending back
to every nook and corner, was before the
platform. 1t was a brilliant and inspiring
spectacle. The climax of applause was
reached when Mr.. White referred to the
reelection of Grover Cleveland When
the speaker concluded he was thanked
with applause, which came from all parts
of the house, for which he had repeatedly
to bow his tha nks.
Just before the convention was called to
ordera California delegate decorated the
California banner with bandana. This
aroused great enthusiasts for Thurman.
Arkansas followed suit with "a bandana
alsoNevada. Loud and continued cheer
ing and waving of bandanas again fol-
low ed. Wisconsin decorated her banner
with bandana. and the delegates gave
three caters for Wisconsin, Mississippi.

ST. Louis, June 6.-The selection of Dan
Dougherty to present the name of Presi-
dent Cleveland for denomination has made
very sore spot in the heart of the County
Democracy. The members of that organ
zation say that Dougherty has been resi-
dent of New York less than a year. and has
not become a citizen of the metropolis,
besides, they have orators good enough To
present Cleveland's name without going

PURSUED BY BIRDS.


Spirited Fight Between Five Robins, Five
Sparrows and Squirrel
According to correspondent Of the New
York Times an odd combat was witnessed
on the corner Of Hone AMI Pierpont streets,
Rondout, Q few days ago between i've
robins, about an equal number Of SPAR
rows and q squirrel The birds were all
arrayed against the squirrel Tho tight
lasted over an hour. When first discOv-
cred the birds were chasing the nimble.
footed animal from branch to branch Of o
large tree. The birds swooped down on
the squirrel and pecked it with their sharp
bills. In vain the little animal tried 70
catch its enemies and defend itself from
their repeated attacks. It ran from tree to
tree il in its efforts to escape. Its feathered
antagonists were always on hand and
pouuced on it numerically. Then tho
squirrel tried new means Of escape. II
ran down the tree, crossed the road, and
q moment later was seen on the roof Of Q
neighboring house. The birds espied it
and once more renewed the battle. Down
the leader of the house slipped the risky
little animal, the birds all the while utter
ing shrill cries. Across the street il darted
back again and up the trco where the fight
first began. Attack after attack was
made by the robbins and sparrows. In
among the leafy branches and crotches Of
the tree ran the squirrel, seeking hiding
place. The birds gave it no rest but kept
continually darling and pecking at it
Finally it ran to the top Of = treo, crawlei
out on q slender limb, and dropped on tho
roof Of Mrs. Barber's house. It clambered
over the roof. pursued by the birds. Down
the leader it slid rapidly, and, running
across the yard, disappeared from view
and from further pursuit. Probably the
squirrel had been after eggs and was
caught in the act

A Small Wooden Silo.

If your underground able is feet
high, and you can wall up one corner
by making a double wood partition on
two sides, thus making silo 10 by Is
feet, you will be able to store about 80
tons of corn ensilage, allowing SO
pounds of ensilage to the cubic foot.
Of course this amount would not last
a great while if fed to cows, but it
would be good appetizer, and if only
10 or Is pounds day of ensilage was
given in connection with other feeds,
to each COW, it would doubtless pay.
When the silo is full, cover with little
straw, and then with boards, and
weight with sacks of grain, loan that
you are going to use for absorbents,
rocks, or any thing handy. You can
have door in the side to take the en-
silage out. The fodder can either be
put in green or partly cured. By the
latter plan, you handle less water and
get ensilage of higher feeding quail.

fiealthful Effect of Onions.

1t is a pity that onions have the odor
that lthey do, for their dietetic and
medicinal qualities are excellent. Boil
ed and roasted onions are a good
specific for cold on the chest, cough.
a cold and a clogging of the bronchial
tubes. A medical writer recommends
the eating of young, raw onions by
children three or four times week,
and of boiled and roasted onions when
they get too strong to be eaten raw.
Another writer says that during un-
healthy seasons. when diphtheria and
like contagious diseases prevail, onions
ought to be eaten in the spring of the
year at least once a week The effect
OF onions is invigorating and prophy-
tactic in the extreme, and one ply
stefan goes SO far az to say that the
eating of onions has actually prevented
children from having diphtheria and

SUMNER RESORTS.
A Few Remarks on a Matter of Univers,
Importance.

A Few Remarks on a Matter of Universal
Importance.
There is place in Pennsylvania
which is called Economy, but it is not
a summer resort.
Down on the seashore a single wave
from a pretty woman's handkerchief
will attract more attention than all the
waves of old ocean put together.
There is verse in the Bible that
says: 1.-The poor We have always with
YOU" 1t evidently refers to people
who have got money enough to go
away for the summer.
Pretty soon you will be making up
your list of books to take to Saratoga
or Long Branch, but you had better
not.overlook the most important one,
viz: the pocket-book, for you will need
it frequently.
Most of the summer hotels are ut
terly destitute of fire escapes, but there
is really no occasion for them, as the
ferent to death.
tits only when: a man gets his bill at
the seaside hotel, where he and his
family, are staying, and finds that he is
charged more per day than he can earn
in, a week, that he begins to appreciate
a longing desire to be back in his own
little dining-room, and look up to that
-dingy old motto which says: "God
Bless Our Home"
However, nobody is compelled to go
to the seashore. or the mountains. New
York editors can, stay at home, and
some of them do, as we infer from the
following item from our genial con-
temporary, Puck. 1t says: Bridget,
throw out the ice, buy some stale veg
,etables, put brickbats and boards in
the beds, order salt pork and beans,
keep the mail two or three days before
delivering it to me, and pull up the
shades and let the sun glare in all it
wantSto. I'm going to enjoy the COM
forts of the country without going

Rats and lncendiarism.

Fire Marshal Whitcomb, of Boston,
has been experimenting with rats and
matches, shut up together in a cage,
in order to ascertain whether they were
likely to cause fires or not. In the alb
sence of other known causes, frequent
fires have been ascribed to their
agency, while at the same time many
underwriters affected to scof at the
idea. The question may, however, now
be considered as settled. The very first
night that Marshal Whitcomb's rats
were left alone with the matches,
four fires were caused. and not day
passed while the experiment was being
tried that fires were not set in this way.
The rats were well fed, but they
seemed to find something In the phos-
phorus that they liked. twas noticed
that only the phosphorus ends were
gnawed. and in nearly every instance
the matches were dragged away from
the spot where they had been laid

TREATMENT OF PIGS.
Food That VIII Make Them Grow Evenly

Food That VIII Make Them Grow Evenly
and Rapidly.
The hog will prescribe for himself if
sick and allowed freedom. His remedy
for any little stomach trouble is clay
or some soft stone. If confined in a
close pen and highly fed, he will fat
up and soon die of the thumps. Pigs
allowed to run at large will grow and
thrive, but they will grow faster if
kept in pen and allowed to run out
but an hour or two day. They should
sleep the larger part of the time One
thing must not be neglected: Their
nest must be dry and clean. If al
lowed to sleep in wet or damp nest
their growth will be checked, they will
be troubled with rheumatism and vari-
Gus other ills.
If the time be early spring or late
fall, pigs will grow much faster if the
pen is situated so as to receive the di-
rect rays of the SUM- If midsummer,
their nest should be well-shaded. The
hog is an omnivorous animal, and SO
should have variety. Ii it is the sea-
son for grass, that will answer for
green food. If too early or late for
grass, few mangels will conduce to
health and thrift.
There is no food equal to new milk
to make pig or hog grow, but it is
too expensive except for little pigs. and
skim-milk will soon take it's place
This, with a suitable amount of grain,
will send the pigs ahead with surpris-
ing rapidity. If one has sufficient
amount of skim-milk itdoes not matter
greatly what else he has. But to make
the best growth attention should be
paid to the kind of grain fed. find
middlings to be the best single feed I
can buy and 1 use more of this than
any other feed. If the supply of milk
is sufficient the pigs will grow faster on
a mixture of middlings and corn meal
than on middlings alone. The more
milk they have the more meal can be
used. If milk be wanting, or if whey
take its place, little or no corn meal
should be used. A mixture of grain
such as middlings. meal and barle
will produce better results than a
single kind of grain. If to the above a
little oil meal is added it will be better
