Z MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 16.-Col.
Conger, member of the republican ex-
ecutive committee in an interview today,
speaking of the coming convention said !:
"The committee proposes that the whole
field shall be looked over and the
strength of the various candidates care
fully considered, then decision will be
made and man will be named by ac-
clamation by the convention.
There will be no contest on the floor
of the convention. There will be no at
tempt to put down public sentiment,
but the whole matter will be informally
understood and acquiesced in detail be-
fore the convention gets down to work.
In regard to the letter of declimation
from Blaine, Col. Conger said there is
nothing in it. There is no reason why
Blaine should write letter now, he
continued, or until the nomination il
rendered him, and in that event, under
the plan of the committee proposes the
work he certainly could not decline
neither could Harrison or any other maj
who may be selected. The colonel sale
that Blaine is feeling better than he hao
in many years. AS to whether Blain'
would run again he declined to b.
quoted. He thought the defeat of Mill
had settled Cleveland's chances. Iowa
he said was republican on the nationa
issue.

WoMAN's INFLUENCE.
The Welfare Of Human Society Is Based
Upon Her Purity.

The Welfare Of Human Society Is Based
Upon Her Purity.
The morals Of the people depend upon
the virtues of its women. Upon tho
firmness of their morality society stands.
Modesty is incomparably more marked
as Q natural virtue in their sex than
among the men, and, apart from relig-
ious motives, whatever continenoy and
purity exists in human society is due
almost exclusively TO female irmness and
delicacy. This purity gives woman In
fluence. Itcreates the sacredness Of the
family relations. 1t gains the respect
and appreciation Of husbands; it hallows
In the minds of children mothers in
culcatlon Of right principles.
When the women are strictly modest,
the men will rise to corresponding
standard of self-respect. They will be
chivalrous and honorable; home will st
tract them, and social regulations will
rise to paramount importance. When
woman places hut little value on her own
purity, men cannot be expected to hold
her in exalted esteem; her good opinion
is of comparatively small importancei
men grow careless of their reputation,
then fall into vice, and vice entails ex.
travagance and extravaganza begets
speculation, swindling, fraud, forgery,
dishonesty of all kinds. Man is the In
tellectual, but woman the moral arbitel
OF this world.

Apl.mond in a Pipe Bowl.

One of the smartest bits of smuggling
I know of occurred when one OF the
largest and handsomest diamond rings In
the country-owned at present by one OF
our leading fsmilies-was brought in
duty free, says New York writer. Here
is the scheme: Among the steerage
passengers was respectable-looking
workman with large Dutch pipe. Just
as he approached Castle Garden, he
wrapped the diamond in thin piece of
paper, put it in the bowl of his pipe,
then filed it up with tobacco.
When he landed, and while the in
spectors were sitting his few worldly
possessions, the immigrant was making
various futile attempts to light his pipe,
but Just when about to do so he would
make some remark to the inspectors and
the match would go out. In short
time he was in an East Side hotel, lug
gage and all, whence he was soon trans
ferred to one Of the city's aristocratic
abodes.
The latest diamond trick Is this: Cut
the buttons off your oyercoat, place un-
set stones inside the top of the button,
cover with cloth and sew them on afresh.
The scheme pays we'll for the trouble
and goes triumphantly.

steamers Armed with Bsab Guns Have
Taken the Place Of fhips
Whaling now is different thing from
what It once wss The large square
Flgged ships have given place 70 small,
swift steamers, which, as q rule, make
summer cruises only, returning before
the advancing ice to walt until another
spring. The Pacific feet Is just coming
into San Francisco, and, far away as
their operations have been, there Is .
passing interest In the report which they
bring Of the seasons work. Whales are
scarce, but as valuable as ever. II Is
said that at present prices for oil and
bone q large-sized whale Is worth from
So, 600 to SIC, 900, and 1t does not require
many Of them to make a good seasons
/, work. Il. SO
1t is matter OF some Importance to
i. be early on the whaling grounds, and
for this reason two Of the Pacific feet
will remain locked In the ice at the
mouth Of the Mackenzie River oil the
coming winter. They have two years
provisions, and in the spring will be at
work some weeks before their competi-
tors can reach the grounds Two or
three extra whales will pay well for the
long winters waiting. That is, II they
catch them. Luck has been exceedingly
unequal the past summer. 1t always Is,
as 10 that matter. Three vessels have
lately come into San Francisco without
single whale for their long cruise and
anxious watching, while five or six Others
belonging to the same fleet brought In
oil and bone and ivory to the value oi
100000
On the whole, the past season has been
9 profitable one, and 1t is stated that
probably the products Of the industry
brought down from the Arctic will reach
LOCO, 900, which will yield good re
| turn on the capital invested. But whal
ing with steamers and bomb guns OF
summer cruises is not the sort Of whal
ing which New England was so familiar
and so proud Of fifty years ago.

Candy-M alkinH.

At almost every modern dinner, lunch
and even breakfast some dainty confec-
tioE Is served. A very delicious choco-
late candy can be made at home that
shows bewitchingly through the cut
glass of bon-bon dish, and is far SUI
perior in taste to many famous makes Of
chocolate and much less expensive.
This is the exact recipe: One cup Of
Bakers chocolate, three cups of granu-
lated sugar, piece Of butter the size Of
Q walnut, with cup of hot water, o
pinch OF salt and teaspoonful of vanil-
Ia. These are the ingredients, and it is
an easy task to boil them down to the
consistency Of candy. Stir it constantly
and allow 1t to boil for ten minutes
only. Try it in cup of cold water, and
90 soon as 1t is of the consistency of
thickened molasses pour into buttered
tins. Then with silver knife stir 1t
back and forth till you find it is sugaring,
when, marking it off into little squares,
you may put 1t away to cool.

A Light in Your Cane.

You have often been in some position
where you would give pretty much any
thing for light, when you have search
ed every pocket in vain for q match;
when you have been obliged to give 1t
up and go on your way disconsolate. It
is just this contingency that dealer in
canes and umbrellas has been providing
against. This dealer has succeeded in
inventing a cane which has an electric
light The top of the cane unscrews and
discloses o small incandescent burner.
This latest application of the subtle fluid
consists OF cane with q hollow shank,
in which is sRugly stored a fair-sized
battery. This is Of sufficient power to
supply current for year with only oc-
casional use, and when exhausted it can
be readily renewed. II you drop your
pocketbook on the street at night, II you
want to consult your watch, If the key
hole is dodging, after the frequent man
ner Of keyholes, oil you have to do is to
touch q button and the electric cane
goes into service, and there you are, with
light at your disposal
