1t has been decided to hold the Nation
al Republican Convention at Minneapolis,
Mimi. 1t has required good deal OF man
ipulation to bring this about, but the vast
northwest is rejoicing over it. The at
tendance will probably not be eas large but
no danger but that it will be large enough
to give a national character to the gather
ing. The fact that such gathering can
be held in what seems such a remote part
of the country, is quite comment upon
our wonderful growth. Now some think
the democratic convention must meet at
the twin city. What grand idea 1t would
be il only the two could be held at the
same time.

Some OF the Salvation Army people have
been talking about raising money in this
country to convert France. This greatly
disturbs the editor of the Rutland Herald
He cannot find language strong enough to
condemn the Salvationists. We have not
seen any more intolerant language uttered
against any party or sect for some time.
The editor does not say that he objects TO
the conversion of France. He does not
say much about the money, but the Saliva
tion Army he would like to see closed out.
We are free to confess that that organiza-
tion does not carry forward its work in
the most refined way. 1t is not made up
OF the most refined Christian men and wo-
men. It does not push its work among
high toned heathen in Christian lands.
But it has special work to do among the
lowest classes of people it can find in the
wide world. It may be fantastic in some
of its methods but it has the same right
to seek to draw men that other organiza-
tions have, in this country or any other,
and we hope the Herald editor will allow
them to go on with their work unimpeded
and perhaps contribute something for the
of France.

Some OF the papers have given good
deal of space for the last week or two to
the doings of DR.. o. w. Daley. As near
as we can gather the facts are, that the
DR.. married Miss Nellie c. Ray. After
living with her short time he thought it
would be a good thing to obtain divorce.
To make quick work of it he thought he
would go to South Dakota. He went there
and lived long enough to secure his object
and returned to White River Junction,
and in a short time was married to Miss
Mae T.. Gates of that place. The divorce
and the second marriage following so near
TO it have given rise to much local COM

Daley has sued the second Mrs. Daley for
alternating her husbands affections, which
If it be true, will doubtless raise some in

pie to inquiring about our divorce laws.
1t seems to us that it is high time that we
had such uniformity in our divorce laws
that nothing can be gained by change Of
residence in securing divorces.

Half a hundred girls have been no
ticed lately in the Fifth avenue stages
and on the west side Of that thorough
fare to have little chains. with charms
or lockets attached, hanging from their
collars, either directly in front or a little
to the left side. Not many days since a
daughter Of Eve, who was convinced
that more was there than met the eye,
determined tofathom the mystery. To
that end she made frequent journeys in
the stages and haunted Huyler's till her
po~cketbook grew emaciated, all 10 no

ingly before her eyes, and no one told
her why At last, finding herself alone
in n stage with a girl adorned after the
manner described, she summoned up all
her courage and asked the stranger to
satisfy her curiosity.
The girl calmly produced a tiny watch,
and laughingly said it was the very latest
thing to veal them in the collar, land

The late Captain Ben Wakefield, Of
Biddeford, once attended his own fu-
neral. being one of the few men who
have had that privilege. He had gone
on a fishing trip down on the Grand
banks, and had beer away from home a
good while without his family hearing
from him. The same season had proved
very disastrous to a number of other
fishermen who went out from there
abouts, and the vessel Captain Ben was
in had her share Of hard luck, and the
report reached home that she, with her
crew, vas lost
Time passed and Captain Ben did not
return, until at last his family gave up
all hope that he had been saved, and a
day was set for the memorial services.
The services were held in the church at
Cape Porpoise, the minister had offered
prayer for the absent fisherman, who
wa supposed to nave found his grave in
the sea, and was just beginning his ser
mon when Captain Ben walked into the
church.-Baugor (Me.) Commercial.

they came back to their starting point,

CREPE PULLING.


A D~isreputable Fraud Practiced Upon
the Families of the Dead.
Reputable florists in this city are suf-
fering greatly by a dodge called Crepe
pulling" resorted to by u~nprincipled
dealers in an attempt to increase their
business. A reporter, desiring TO Ascer-
tain just what the above term signifed,
visited several of the Broadway stores,
but the majority of dealers were averse
to conversing upon the subject John
B. Nugent, Jr., when spoken to, said:
you wisht TO find out about this crepe
pulling do you? Well, I'll tell you how
the scheme is worked. Each morning
these fellows pick up the papers and go
through the death lists in n very careful
manner. They select those people whom
they know are in the middle walks Of
life. One Of their men is then sent to
the house Of mourning, and he, upon en-
tering the room where the bereaved rel
atiyes are seated, inquiries In the most
sorrow stricken tones what was the cause
of death. Naturally, some one will ask
whether he knew the deceased. And the
reply will generally be that they have
had many and many a good time togeth-
er. Such a jolly good fellow was Jack.
And they were almost brothers. He used
to come I'VE to the store every day for
his bunch of violets or a pink.
Before the relatives are aware Of the
fact the artful fellow has a ten or twenty
dollar order. This in itself is bad
enough, but when these florists make up
a floral piece, instead Of giving the
family natural flowers, they make up
the wreath, or whatever it may be, Of
what we term crepe flowers, an artificial
flower resembling n white pink. These
things are purchased at about one dollar
per pound. A few natural roses are
stuck into the design, and when the
entire piece is made up the whole thing
costs them in the neighborhood Of two
dollars. One cannot understand how
much this pernicious practice isindulged
in and what harm it does the majority
of dealers"
Mr., Nugent told OF a certain florist
who sent one of hi1 men down 10 Cherry
street to a house where a woman had
died. The man went up stairs, and
leaning over the coffin actually forced
tears TO his eyes after declaring that the
woman was his cousin, and while no one
was looking, as he thought, strewed
smilax around The husband, a big,
burly lrshman, and who, by the way,
had worked in the flower business him
self, caught the fellow, and after giving
him a good ~trouncing, deposited him in
the street without any show Of gentle
ness.

Talking about police Justices, an old
time observer said: I'VE have had some
pretty good specimens of police justices in
Brooklyn long before today, but one Of
h most modest, unique characters |
ever came across was the late Tom Riley.
When Riley assembled the bench he did
not know much about law, but could
beat the decks in the quickness with
which he would judge a prisoner by his
appearance. In those days what were
known as ''speeler" trousers were in
vogue with certain young men, and Riley
was very much dow on them. Indeed,
it was said that the mere fact that an
accused person had his neither limbs Gov
cred by the Objectionable garment was
regarded by Riley as prima facie evil
dence Of guilt.
Zone morning a young fellow was
arraigned before him. The judge list
ened to the evidence, but that did not
seem to move him. Finally he arose
from his seat, looked over the desk at
the young mans trousers. the ends of
which protruded far over the shoes. and
calmly remarked; Spoilers. Ten days
1t is needless to add that after that the
new kind of trousers soon went ont of
