Best Size Tor sections.

A subject up for discussion at the last
meeting of the North American Bee
keepers association was the best size for
sections. Previous to the discussion n
paper by Dr. Miller, of Illinois, was read.
In this the doctor said: For buying at
wholesale a standard size is better
Ease of production will lead to less cost.
If you consult the profit of the manu-
facturer, part of that will come back to
you. Two sizes seem best, Al i.v AZ is
generally popular, but in width we run
from two inches down. Grocers wish one
pound packages to resell without weigh
ing. Should be :, inches. possibly "a .
Mr.. E. r. Root, of Ohio, quoted sizes
given by manufacturers. One firm
made six to eight sizes, chiefly AZ by 4
and by 50; ODD sections cost more.
Another firm makes largely of AZ by
415-seven to the foot and over one pound.
The standard seems to be a. ! by AZ, and

A member from Albany, said: THE
thinnest section sells best early in
the season. The farmer tops his apples
and sells his COW standing on knoll;
there is no reason why the beekeeper
should not put lis honey in the most
salable shape-th3t which shows most

thin as you can, as small as you can,
as much less than a pound as You can.
An oblong shape is more pleasing and
looks larger than the square"

There are a great any farmers who
still cling to the old fashioned wagon
bed with detachable sideboards, which
has many advantages over the other kind

1t was this idea which brought to the
mind of a correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer the adjustable wagon seat shown
in the cuts and which almost any farmer
can make. He says, concerning this
contrivance for which he received third
prize in contest of farm conveniences:
L have often thought when riding over
rough roads of the moving machine
seat, which is in use only about two
weeks in the year. My first idea was to
remove the bolt which fastens it to the
machine and bolt it TO bottom board
of the wagon bed, but l knew it would

WASHINGTON IN THE WHIRL.
That State Elects Delegates, but Gives Them
No Instructions.


VANCOUVER, Wash, May 25.-The Demo
cratic state convention met this morning
to choose delegates to the national conven-
ton.
The convention strongly endorsed Cleve-
land. but did not instruct for him. John
Collins, G. W. Griggs, e. P. Hogan, H. j.
Snively, M. j. Maloney, H S. Blandford.
w. a. Dumphy and j. H. Munday were
elected delegates.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the convention, Secretary Hazard of the
state central committee sent dispatch to
Senator Hill and copy to Chairman Gill
man of the committee, who are now in
Washington, saying the delegation chosen
today was not instructed. The eight men
chosen will not be carried away by clamor,
but will cooperate in naming the candi-
date who can be elected.
The Democracy of Washington know the
difference between a mugwump aud a
Democrat. If there's to be president in
the White House who will be controlled by
mugwumps and keep only Republicans in
Office, why not let Harrison remain!
Not one Of the Washington delegates will
vote for Cleveland until his name is pre-
scented by the state of New York.
A minority report was presented to the
effect that the convention support no man
for the presidency or Vice-presidency who
is not uneu uivOcally in favor of free silver,
and that delegates to the Chicago conven-
tion withdrawn from the convention If the
candidates and platform were not in favor
of silver, was tabled, and the majority

.IDAHOS CONVENTION
GrandeSt Democratic Gathering
Ever Held in the West.
LIST OF DELEGATES CHOSEN
The Utah Democracy Endorsed-The Platform
Demands Tariff Reform, Free Coinage Of
Silver and Other Reforms.

PocATELLo, Ida, May 25.-TSpecial tele-
gram to The HERALD. The Democracy
of Idaho met here today in one of the
grandest conventions ever witnessed in
the west. Every representative Democrat
in the new state focksd to the convocation,
and not single county out of the eighteen
was unrepresented, no matter how dis
tant.
The assemblage was brilliant interest
ing and at times brsathIessly exciting.
Prior to the convention the state commit
tee Of twenty three members met in the
Pacific hotel, Hon. John Ainslie presiding.
By invitation the Salt Lake delegation,
consisting of Judge Henderson, Judge
Norrell, Mr.. Schroeder, Wilton Burke
and H. G. Whitney briefly addressed the
committee on the issues in Utah, and by
unanimous vote the Democracy Of Utah
was pledged the support and sympathy Of
the Democracy Of Idaho. C. c. Richards
OF Ogden had been present Tuesday even
ing, but was compelled to leave for home
before the committee met. 1t was the
sense of all that Utah and Idaho should sc
to Chicago together.
The Bear Lake delegation of five. In
GLIDING three Mormons, Messrs. Rich.
Pugmire and Hammond; one Josephite,
Grommeth, and one Gentle, Wilson, was
admitted without the suspicion Of a cues
ton and duly recognized in the convention.
The opera house where the convention
met was beautifully decorated with
streamers, flowers, flags and mottos. The
place of every delegation was indicated by
handsome streamers, and the general COM
ment was that the arrangements were all
vastly superior TO the recent Republican
convention held in the same hall.
During the session the popularity of THE
HERALD was attested in an unmistakable
manner. A boy came into the hall stagger-
ing under big load of today's HERALDs
and everything else went by the boards till
the boy had been despoiIed of his load at
the current rate per copy.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The Senate
voted down Senator Morrill's motion to
refer to the finance committee Morgans
resolution instructing the committee to
examine and report on the effect of the
silver law OF 1890 on the price of silver
bullion; II to 2S Hill was in his seat, but
did not vote.
The Democratic senators who voted yea
were Quay, Palmer and Gilas The Re-
publican senators who voted nay were
Allen. Mitchell, Paddock, Pettigrew,
Power, Sanders, Shoup, Squire, Stanford,
Stewart, Teller and Wolcott
Morgan modified his resolution by ad-
ding a new paragraph instructlng the
finance committee TO report a supplement-
airy act providing for the coinage of gold
and silver bullion on equal terms as to
each metal, and authorizing the depositors
of gold or silver bullion to receive coin
certificates tor it at its mint value.
Sherman said it seemed to him that the
approaching political conventions had more
to do with the resolutions than the Senate
had. This he thought was not the proper
time to debate the question, especially
when the executive authorities were en-
gagged in a movement for an International
conference. I he inevitable effect of the
| free coinage OF silver would be to lower
the standard of silver cheaper wages of
labor, despoil the pensioner, injure every
depositor in savings banks, assail the accu-
mutations of the rich and disturb all bust
ness of life, and all for what! Simply to
substitute silver instead of gold for coin
age. The free coinage of silver, instead OF
being measure of relief for the people
would be the severest load ever placed on
the shoulders of those who depended on
their labor for daily bread. He was as

THE METHODISTS.
The Question Of Lay Representa-
ton Not Settled.
A Lively Contest Over the Effort to Unite
Two Societies-A Large Number OF
Committee Reports Made.

OMAHA, May 25.-The Methodist confer
ence this morning adopted report com
mending the objects of the Worlds Fair,
urging it to be closed on Sundays and
recommending the appointment of com
mission to make a church exhibit at the
fair.
The report recommending ministerial
and lay delegates to be seated separately at
the n9xt general conference was adopted
The report of the judiciary committee to
the effect that the bishops have veto power
over the action Of the book committee in all
matters pertaining to elections, but have
no right to vote in meetings of the book
committee, was adopted.
The committee on lay representation re-
ported in favor of equal lay and clerical
representation.
The amendment to refer the matter to
the annual conference was defeated by the
votes of the lay delegates. Vote ordered
on the adoption of the report of the COM
mittee resulted: Laymen--for 143: against
II. Ministers-for 1877; against 10S. The
chairman held that the report was adopted
by the concurrent vote of both orders, but
the objection was made that it required a
two-thirds vote. A motion was made to
refer the matter to the judiciary committee.
Pending action, recess was taken.
| At the afternoon session the report of
the committee on Episcopacy touching the
actions OF Bishops Taylor and Thoburn, in
ordaining missionaries and deaconesses
was adopted. 1t practically sustains the
action of the bishops.
A lively contest took place over the eff
fort to unite the Order of Deaconesses and
Woman's Home Missionary society by
placing the formers work under the su-
pervision of the latter After a lengthy
wrangle, the matter was left exactly
where it has been for the past four years,
under the care of the conference.
AT the evening session the judiciary
committee reported on the question as to
whether it required a tWo-thirds majority
of both orders, or two-thirds majority of
the aggregate vote of the con-
ference TO adopt a report when
a clear majority of both orders was in favor
of adoption. This had special reference to
the vote on the question of equal represen-
ton, which had a two-thiros majority OF
the aggregate majority of both orders The
report was, thereupon adopted and the
question now goes to the annual confer
ences fer consideration.
The matter of calling the next general
conference was left with the book com
mittee. The conference will doubtless ad
iourn tomorrow.

threatened. The disturbance has arisen in
consequence of charges of peculation pre-
ferred against the Coulimbra expedition
which was ordered back to Quillimane on
account of Coulimbra's disobedience of
orders. This was through a number of
natives engaged in the expedition, out of
work, who, becoming discontinued, resorted
to violent measures. They were Joined by
the warlike tribes Of the region. and after
pillaging, devastating and burning the

with the Scroll and Keys it will be differ

Scroll and Keys will be initiated within q
couple of hours after their election. This
action is taken for the reason that the so
ciety is to begin the celebration of its
tiftieth anniversary on Friday, and it is
the desire of the graduating members of
the society that the '92 men be allowed to
participate. The celebration will cover the
days of Friday, Saturday Sunday and

The visiting members, it is expected.

include some of the most prominent men

by resident members and also by the COL

William H. Vanderbilt would have been
elected if he had lived, and not to the skull

Mr. Vanderbilt had not only been selected
as member of the society, but it was his
earnest desire to join. and SO worked up
had he become in the matter that during
his last illness, while tossing about on his
bed, he talked of nothing except the day
when he hoped to be taken into the society.

that they can do everything they are re-

PLEDGED FOR CLEVELAND.
New JERSEY VIII Vote for Cleveland All the
Time

TRENTON, N. j., May 25.-The Demo
cratic convention to choose delegates to
the national convention met this afternoon.
Judge Beasley was made temporary chair
man. The mention of Cleveland's name in
his speech caused great wave of cheers to
sweep over the convention. A second later
the name of Hill was Kissed After the
committees were named recess was taken.
The platform declares in favor of tariff
reform, denounces the Mckinley bill and
reciprocity, declares against reckless ex-
travagance, jobbery and annal, holds up
the record of Cleveland as highly favorable
in comparison with the present adminlstra-
ton.
The delegates to Chicago are instructed
to vote for Cleveland as long as his name is
before the convention. The policy of free
coinage of the deprecated legal tender sill
yer, and also further purchases of silver
bullion, are condemned and the opinion ex-
pressed that the whole matter OF the use of
silver as money, metal should be relegated
to the future commercial action of CONNER
cial nations.
Governor Abbott's action in vetcing the
bill for legalizing the Reading combine was
approved.
Senator Mcpherson. Governor Abbott,
James Smith, ir., and Miles Ross were Sc.
