Her Death FOrctoId.

WATERBURY, Conn, March 27.-At
the recent masquerade ball of the
Turnvcrcm i'll this city, which occur
red less than month ago, Miss Liz
zic OConnor, then an attractive and
pretty employee of the Waterbury
Manufacturing Company, was the
belle. Upon retiring after the ball
she had n peculiar dream, in which
she saw ut her feet an open grave, on
the bottom of which was light, and
III the distance, approaching the
grave, was q procession of mourners,
some whom carried the remains of
young and beautiful girl, robed in
white. Friends of.the young woman
at the factory interpreted the dream
to be sure sign of marriage and
happiness for Lizzie; but Miss 6 Cen
nor would not be consoled by their
reading Of her fortune, and rapidly
gave herself up to sorrow and silence.
While still i'll perfect health she Sc
lected four of her gentlemen friends
as pall-bearers and picked out the
robe which she was to be laid out in
after death. The same day she made
these arrangements she was taken
with Il severe cold, which resulted in
pneumonia and her death last Friday.
Saturday the young men whom she
had selected TO be her pall-bearers
carried her body to the last resting
place, and many of her shopmates
went with the funeral to New Haven,
which was the young woman's for
mer home.

Jefferson Davis's Widow.

1t may have been noticed that the
widow of Jefferson Davis, since his
death, signs her name "V. Jefferson
Davis" Many persons, doubtless,
suppose she has added the name
Jefferson to her Christian meme
Varina. But this is not the proper
explanation. V. is the abbreviation
of vcuve, the French for widow, and
it is the custom in Louisiana, and
perhaps in other parts of the South,
for widows to place that letter before
the Christian names of their deceased
husbands. V. Jefferson Davis simply
means the widow of Jefferson Davis.

DESTRUCTION IoF THE FORESTS.
Grave Consequences Which May Result

w
from their DcnudatiOn.
The reservations which have been
ceded by the Chippewas in this State
to the government embrace the heavi-
est white pine forests now available
as source of lumber supply. These
forests are largely contributory to the
retention Of the moisture which feeds
the streams and lakes that make the
sources of the Mississippi river.
Already there is much said about
the great commercial value of these
pine lands, and there is not the slight
est doubt that, as soon us the region
IS opened by the government, the
work OF construction will commence
which will speedily lay bare the soil
and subject it to the drying influence
OF the sun and wind, or to the forest
fires, which will kill every young
growth which appears and destroys
even tree seed which have been borne
there by the winds. The result of
this will be the diminution of the
sources Of the supply of the NIissis-
sippi, which will be felt by every
water power company from Itasca to
Fort Smelling.
These arc very grave consequences,
and the question is: Shall the DEM
dation of this new region be allowed
to go on without some rerulations rs
to cutting and forest renewnH
There would seem to be good op,
portrlnity to bring to bear the worlds
experience in forestry. This reckless
deforcstation will bring Temporary
gain to the lumbcrmcn: but il will
ultimately ruin water power interest
along the river. This is inevitable.
In France whole communities were
ruined by the destruction of forests.
and the government has found if
necessary to enter upon the work OF
restocking about 100000 acres with
trees, and over $4,000 900 has been
spent rcmedying the serious evils re
sultant from reckless dcnudation OF
land.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 27.-It was
about twenty minutes after twelve
o'clock when the Farmers State Con-
vontion was called to order by Chair
man G. Wash Shell, of Laurens. The
hum of conversation in the hall ceased
md hats were doffed while the pro-
ceedings began with prayer by the
Rev. D. w. Hiott, of Anderson. Chair
man Shell presented to the conven-
ton Il gavei sent for it's use by four
Orangeburg boys now attending the
Alabama Agricultural College. Hav-
ing read the call for the convention,
Chairman Shell delivered his opening
address. Captain Shell said that
there were three things clear:
1st. That this convention was COM
posed of Democrats true and loyal.
I'd. That it was not n farmers con-
ventiolf unless it was because other
classes had refused to have anything
TO do with electing delegates.
3rd. That this was a convention of
sympathizers with the sentiment of
the call as issued and that any not in
sympathy Herewith were here as OBJ
structionists. The Executive Com
1nittee d the Farmers Association
had ordered him TO issue the call for
the convection. Remembering how
they had RI treated in the last
cAmpalgn was necessary to begin
carly to 1Ssnily start. From the
howl mat stbeen raised, he believed
they had " it, and he urged on the
convention to keep what they had
got. l. fey wanted a fair discussion
of the il les Oh the hustings, and by
the eterNll gods they would have it.
All talk about dividing the party was
bosh. The will of the people had
been defeated by unfair means, and
they noY demanded fair play. He
was willing to compare records with
any OF the S1n who mad been sland-
ering him a n 81 Wis Captain Till

Shell ,closeu by Tmiicatmg his own
record and with brief eulogy of
Captain Tillman 10 whom he said the
State owed a heavy debt of gratitude.
AS for himself he would not accept
any S5nte office at the hands of the
convention.
w. j. Talbert, OF Elgefeld, was
made temporary Chairman, and John

brim of her cup of merriment in incessant
flow, appears in her new comedy Lady

to be given with new scenery painted for it,
novel mechanical effects, and some sensa-
tional situations, in one Of which an intel
ligent wolfhound effects rescue from the
water Miss McHenry has just played a
successful engagement in San Francisco
with this piece and another, entitled "Chain
Lightning" Her support is represented as
good. She will be remembered as the
brightest light and most vivacious actress
with The Troubadors" in THE Brook, -
Green Room Fun" and similar skits
In Lady Peggy" she takes more preten-
sious part, however, but one of not less
merry humor. The piece is not announced
as noteworthy addition to dramatic litera-
ture, but that it is meant to amuse. The
play is said to be sort of composite of the
ideas of Lotta's Pawn Ticket The
Shadows of Great City" and similar
productions OF the mixed comedy and
melo-drama order; but with more of sparkle
and romp and wit about it.

NOT FOR FUN

The Democratic press of the State would
have us believe that Mr.. Buckley nomi-
mated Mr.. Pond for the good Of his, Buck
ley's, health, or some other reason than
the true one. When was Chris Buckley
ever known to make nomination out of
pure sentiment or lofty purpose? He is a
political boss because it pays him. He
would not dare, if even so inclined to waste
favors, as it is claimed he did for Mr.
Pond, for mere love of the candidate, since
out of such sowing he could reap no har-
vest, and his lambs would grow thin and
desperate to the verge of desertion. 1t
will not do. Buckley was at San Jose for
Buckley. He welded power there because
he had it to WELD, and he possessed it be-
cause of past promise and performance. He
was not there as wrecker of his own
bark-on the contrary, he will have none
but favoripg gales for its canvas. If the
wind blows Buckley's way it is because he
has determined that it shall, and such is
his power, by reason of the venality of San
Francisco Demo cratic politics, the corrup-
ton in Office, the shaving of salaries, the
pinching of contracts, and the broad per-
centage paid the party autocrat and his
underlings for nearly every official action
involving money or the exchange ofpower,
that Buckley has the local Democracy
under his thumb, and exerts malign in
fuence even outside Of party lines. The
idea that such a potentate went to San
Jose, fought Mr. Pond for days, received
from him special ENJOYS, and then sud-
denly nominated the candidate, all for
love of the fun of the thing, is preposter-
Gus. Certainly neither the friends of Mr.
Coleman nor Mr.. English SO looked at the
matter. Some of them did not hesitate to
call things by their true names on the
streets of San Jose when Buckley made his
master stroke, and brought Mr.. Pond to
his feet, as he declared he would do.

BEATING THE ToM-ToMs.

The San Francisco Examiner has not yet
discovered that the Eastern Democratic
and Mugwump press have ceased to shout
about the ruling of Speaker Reed. 1t
fairly bares its arms in a recent issue to
the task of showing the readers of its col
umns that an swful crime was committed
by the Republican majority in the House
in sustaining the Speaker, and therefore
the Republican ticket in California should
be defeated and the chosen Of Boss Buckley
put into the seats of authority.
As matter of fact the people of the
Union have affirmed Speaker Reeds ruling.
No discriminating student of news, nor any
man who takes pains TO ascertain the beat
of the public pulse, entertains any doubt
whatever upon that head The ruling has
been translated into the law Of the House,
and is known as Rule Fifteen. The most
vigorous, trenchant aud logical argument
vet made in defense of the Speaker and
the rule has for Its author Democratic
leader. Nevertheless, according to the
Examiner, the policy the House has
adopted is infamous, and therefore Mr..
Buckley's ticket in California should be
Endorsed by the electors of the State.
The State contest is not to be won by
the Democracy by the beating of tom-toms.
The iteration of the demagogic and parti-
san cry about "force bills" destruction of
the rights of the minority" "the infamy"
Of this Congressional bill and the 'unwis-
DOM of that, the 'autocratic assumption
Of power" by the Speaker, the debates over
the adjustment and equalization of the
tariff schedules-these hollow cries will

a most disastrous FIRE occurred about ten
miles east of Folsom on Sunday afternoon,
which burned over about 1.500 acres OF
land, and destroyed great amount of prop
erty. The fire originated on Mrs. Dor
modys ranch, and so intense was the heat
that although the entire community was
out fighting the FIRE. the only way its pro-
gress could be checked was By back firing.
Mrs. Dormody lost about three hundred
cords of wood and long line of fencing,
and the residence of Henry Fish, with its
entire contents, was consumed. IL was one
of the most destructive field fires that ever
occurred in these parts.
