1t Will BE Touched Off To-Day by Penn
sylvania.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 1S.-There is much
gossip concerning the republican conven-
ton which meets to- morrow. A great num-
Der of pliticians are in tho city and the
event of to-day was the apparently friendly
conference between Senator Quay
and Chris. Maaee, the Pittsburg
leader. These prominent politicians
have not been together since 1883. Magee
says his meeting with Quay was simply to
discuss Mylan's candidacy for auditor
general. The platform to be adopted to-
morrow will, it is learned, contain plank
strongly endorsing Secretary Blaine
as the most available candidate
for the presidency in 1892. Tho Nc
kinley bill and reciprocity will also be
endorsed and in connection with the latter.
Harrison's administration will be mildly
commended. The platform will favor the
free coinage of silver to the extent of TAX
ing care of the product of American mines.
A tariff on foreign silver sufficient to ex-
clude it from competition with native metal
will be advocated. 1t is understood that
Chairman Andrews of the republican state
committee, will take Quay's place in tho
national committe.

MONTANA STATE FAIR.
The Meeting Which begins Saturday WIN
He n Notable One.

1tb " SOLAUle ohcs
From all Indications the meeting Of the
Montana Fair association at Helena for the
season Of 1891 will be notable one. AL
though the work Of preparation was not
commenced US early as in previous years,
Secretary Pope has made up for the time
lost. Heretofore but 1000 pamphlets, CIV
ing the premium lists and other inf0rmn-
tion, have been issued. This year 5000
were printed and have been given the ben
efit of wide circulation. All the railroads
leading into Helena will mako one fare for
tile round trip during the week, and this
Will have the effect of drawing q good
crowd. The grand stand has been reno
waited and other improvements made. SO
that All who visit the grounds may be as
sured OF pleasant accommodations.
The exhibits in the various departments
give promise of being far ahead of any pre-
yious. year. The wide distribution of the
premium lists has had the effect of drawing
the attention OF many people who have
hitherto taken but little interest in the fair.
Az TO the races, there 10 no question of their
not only being the best ON the Montana cir
cult this year, but they will exceed in inter
est those for many years. The season
ticket plan is sure to prove popular, while
the ladies will take advantage of the half
rates given them. Saturday the fair opens,
and it behooves Helena merchants and
others who are going to make display to
get their exhibits together.
The stockholders met in the Granite
block last night and elected the following
board of directors to serve until their sue

to-day in the Davis will case. The pro-
fessor gets $50 day and all expenses paid
to stay with the case to the finish. He lives
IN New York; is a photographer and an ex-
aminer of inks and paper and handwrit-
ing. He has been witness in 45O cases
concerning handwriting in the eastern

that practically the will has grown younger
In tho past year. In 1880, when he first ex-
amined it, the color was browner aud
rougher in character; it is much smoother
now. In his opinion the paper on which
the will was made was subjected
to treatment and some substance
like tobacco Juice was squirted
over it, or coffee juice. The witness gave il
as his opinion that the paper of the will
was Drowned before the writing was done
The ink lays on top. The witness thought
the browning was done by ironing the pa
per. There are good many evidences of
carbonizing and they seemed to be caused
by heat. The witness said there are twenty
four stains on the will under the writing.
There are 122 holes in the will, which, in
the opinion of the professor, were made af-
ter the writing. The punctures in all OF
them, except the Sconce signature, carried
the writing with them. different ink was
used in the Sconce signature from that. In
the others. The body of the will was writ

appearance until 1873. The witness said
that he could. in two days, produce piece
ofpaper artiflcially that would look older
than this will in question.
