"A visitor who examined some town
records upon Cape Cod furnishes this
extract from an old sermon, preached
about 1850, on the sin of wearing
periwigs: "Adam, so long as he con-
tinued in innocency, did wear his own
hair and not u periwig"
A cooking school lecturer has
bravely attacked the custom of the
multiplying of little dishes upon the
table. She says that the greatest need
of the American table is not variety,
but variation; variety in food does not
necessarily preclude a certain amount
of routine.
In some of the counties OF Dakota
they pay five cents a tail for prairie
dogs, and in one place they pass as
currency. A man goes into saloon
and for his drinks throws on the coun-
ter gopher tails. 1t looks a little novel
in church to see prairie dog tails going
into the contribution box, but so it is.
The method of incubation for the
prevention OF splenic fever and other
fatal diseases in domestic animals,
which was discovered by Pasteur, has
spread to Asia, where it is now applied
to elephants, with success. Those
huge creatures, i'll domesticated state,
are liable, it seems, as well as other
animals in the service of man, to fatal
epidemic diseases.
Not long ago an Italian workman on
the water-works at Dover, N. H., re-
ceived notice that he had been drafted
into the Italian army. He at once
settled up his small affairs and started
for his old home. Asked why he didn' t
stay here and pay no attention to the
draft, he said that if he did he would
never dare to return to Italy. for he
would be liable to arrest and imprison-
ment.
IN cleaning out the lower levels of
the caves at Dordogne, in France,
along with some of the most rudiment-
airy stone arrow-heads yet discovered,
there were found a great many oyster
shells piled in such a manner as to
show thi.5 the Neauderthal man used
the bivalve as a common article of
food. The oyster is thus demonstrated
to be the oldest domesticated delicacy
known to man. These relics are esti-
mated to be over sixty thousand years
old.

The Pool of Bethesda.

The pool of Bethesda has been salts
factorily identified at Jerusalem, ac-
cording to the chairman of the Pales-
tine exploration fund. All early au-
thorities agree in representing this
pool as being near the Church of St
Anne, but nothing was known of the
pool in later years till some Algerian
monks recently unearthed a large tank
in the rock under the church, reached
by flight of twenty-four steps. How
ever, the pool being invariably de-
scribed as having five pOrches, this
tank did not quite correspond to the
Bethesda pool until now, when Herr
Conrad Schick has found twin pool
side by side with the first discovery.
These sister pools, therefore. could
easily have had Il porch on each of the
four sides, with a fifth on tho wall
separating the tanks, and this link is
considered to complete the idcntiica-
ton! Among other traditions, the old
writers describe this Piscina Probatica
Us the birthplace of the Virgin Mary.

OUR Excessive have been severe
ly criticised because we refused to at
tend the funeral of old Pete Shiny,
who died on the street of too much
whisky one night last week. 1t is
claimed that Old Pete was our creditor
in the sum OF twelve dollars, and that
it was shabby in us not to see him
planted. In the first place Old Pete
owed us two dollars borrowed money,
instead of our owing him. In the next
our Sunday pantaloons needed patch
about four feet square at the end oppo-
site the bow, and we did not care to
subject ourselves to ridicule for the
sake of showing off. We can keep our
back behind us in our own Office until
better times arrive, and that's what we
are trying to do. We have sent to San
Francisco for a patch the color of our
pantalOons, and when it arrives and is
welded on to the spot, Richard will be
himself again, and ready to rustic at
funerals Or address a public meeting
on the topics of the day.

MUST TAKE THEIR CHANCES. Three
times during the past month we have
surprised ourself and the public by
hopping the floor with assailants,
while on two occasions we have igno-
miniously took to flight. We state it
as physiological fact that there are
times when we had as lief fight dozen
men, and other times when we'd run

ming to lick us must be prepared to
take their chances. We may fight like
a lion or run like a jack-rabbit.

THE COLONEL HAS GoNE.-Tony So
ciety pretended to be all upset last
week because Colonel Declare was
arrested for horse thief and taken to
Nebraska to stand trial. 1t was only a
pretense. We have known for months
past that the Colonel was beat and
an impostor, and many others have
known it, He sent us an order for
new hat as soon as he arrived here,
and thus put us under obligations not
to give him away. The hat grew old
and rusty after q time, and as the
Colonel didn't come in with a cash
subscription we felt that we had given
him rope enough. We just dropped a
hint to the sheriff Of Henry County,
and week later the Colonel had the
irons on. We are alone every evening
after siX We can't be bribed, but there
are parties in this town who had best
come in and subscribe for copies to
send to friends. Our terms are 81 per
year-strictly in advance.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
Some Fine Specimens of Unadulterated
FOntier journalism.

OUR CIRCULATION.-The are news
papers which do more blowing about
their circulation than we do, and there
may be a few who add more subscribers
in a single week, but the Kicker gets
there just the same. We began on a
circulation of two (2) copies, one of
which we carried about in our own
pocket, and the other went as a dead
head to the postmaster. Wenow work
1913 copies which are paid for in adj
vance. This is an increase of "a per
cent. in seven months, and we've got
dollar which says no other newspaper
in the world can equal it. We don't
claim that the KICKER makes Kings and
Emperors tremble on their thrones, or
that it has bettered the moral standing
of the American masses thousand
per cent, but we do know that we have
made life worth the living for a good
many people out this way who were
ready to hang themselves when our
first number was issued, and that every
new subscriber who comes has faith
that we will make better man of him.

kerchiefs were fluttered, cheers were given
and shouts of approval followed For
some minutes Mr.. Mckinley was unable
TO continue on account of the demonstra-
tion, which broke out afresh when the de-
nunciation Of the Mills bill found express
sion in the platform.
When the reading of the report had been
completed, Mr.. Marine of Maryland moved
that 1t be adopted, and by rising vote.
ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY
Mr.. Marine said that before the motion was
put he desired to say few words.
We have the right, he snid, to be proud of
our party, as we have TO be proud of our
country. The great republican party began
with the cry OF free soil, free speech and
free press, and had never faltered when the
the enemies of the nation attempted to take
its life, and the republican party would not
talter now that again the country is in
danger, and will respond as of old to the cry
of the people. We will plant our party on the
great rock of truth and justice and it will
stand there refuge for troubled people.
We have been fortunate i'll our platforms
IN the past, but never more fortunate than
now, and this is the greatest utter
ance that this great party has ever made,
and should be adopted unanimously.

Judge Gresham's nomination was sec

setts, and Rector of Texas.
Gov. Porter then made a bow to the
audience, and was given warm reception
Gov Porter has a fine, dignihed presence,
full. reddish beard all over his face, and
reddish hair, inclined to curl He spoke
with impressiveness and force, and ap-
peaed more to the judgment OF the con
Nent,on than TO its sentiment. AS Gov.
Porter is regarded as within the possibility
of nomination, should thero be a dead
lock, he was curiously examined by the
delegates, and their impressions Of him were
decidedly favorable.
HARRISON NOMINATED.
The Gresham men in tho galleries cried
out the name of their favorite when Gov.
Porter mentioned ex-senator Harrison as In
diana's choice, to which he responded with
emphasis that he voiced the unanimous ard
earnest sentiment of the Indiana delegation
IN presenting Mr.. Harrison's name. AT tho
conclusion Of Gov. Porters speech, on mo.
tion of Mr.. Brogan of Tennessee, the con-
Vention took recess until O'Clock.

The Committees Report Unanimously
Adopted by Rising Vote.


CHICAGO, June 21.-The chairman, keep
ing his word as nearly as possibly, and, not
withstanding the gaping open spaces in the
delegates seats. rap' sharply with his gavel
at five minutes past the hour, asks the dele
gates to take their seats, and calls the con-
yention to order. An invocation was de-
livered by Rev. Thomas 4. Greene Of Chi
cago. AT the conclusion OF the prayer the
chairman touched the electric bell as
signal for the band to render some selections,
but there was no band, the members not
yet having put in an appearance. Under
the direction OF the chairman, the secretary
proceeded TO call the roll OF states in order
that the delegation mighG designate men,
Der to represent each state upon the ma
tional committee. This work having been
disposed of, Warner of Missouri, at l0:30
o'clock, announced on behalf Of the com
mittee on resolutions that the committee
would be ready TO submit its report in
fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Mckinley Of Ohio, chairman Of the
resolutions committee, who had just entered
the hall, was recognized by the chair and
he arose to make the report of the commit
tee. The convention recognizing one Of the
dark horses In the presidential race, and
popular one also, cheered Justify, and Nc
Kinley advanced 10 the platform to read
his report. The applause was redoubled
and became almost an ovation.
THE PLATFORM READ.
In clear, ringing voice, which could be
distinctly heard in every portion Of the
auditorium, Mr.. Mckinley read the decla-
ration Of republican principles. As he
mentioned the names Of the dead leaders Of
the republican party, cheer after cheer
ascended, and his alluson to the living
hero. Phillip II. Sheridan, was received
with loud applause But these bursts Of
enthusiasm were as nothing - the storm of
applause and cheers which broke out when
Mr. Mckinley elunciated the principle Of
the republican party in regard to pr )tecyion.
Every mepiber OF the convention rose to his
feet, and many OF the spectators followed
their example. Fans were waved, hand

ANOTHER HOT DAYS WORK.

Hours.
BIZ the associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 21.-The convention faces
another days hot work, with the gllmmer
of the ballot at the end of it. 1t appears
probable at this time, that the programme
for the day is to get through with the plat
form at the session now about to open;
the nominating speeches, presenting the
names Of candidates for the presidential
nomination, will be disposed of this after
noon or this evening. Then the body will
proceed to show of hands on one ballot,
and adjourn until tomorrow. This Is what
is generally expected by most of the dele
gai es, although there is some talk, as the
delegates come down 10 the hall, that the
convention will not stop at one ballot when
the night opens, but that a number Of bal
lots shall be taken to determine, in some
measure, what hope there may he Of reach
ing an agreement. The hope OF tho Sher-
man men that the name OF Mayor Fitler of
Philadelphia would not be presented at all,
and that the Ohio senator would get all OF

pears to lie dissipated by the appearance of
