THE ALGER BOOMERS,
Michigan'S FavOrite Son Indorsed BY the
Wolverine Convention.

DETROIT, April IA The Republicans of
Michigan will present the name of Russell
A Alger 10 the national convention at
Minneapolis as the choice OF the Wolver-
inc state for president. This was definitely
decided at the convention today. and the
friends of Mlchigans favorite son main
tSin that Ia the delegates selected General
Alger has followers who will stand by
him loyalty rs long as be has hope OF
success. The program announced by Cen
eral Alger 10 the Associated Press last
evening was adhered To, aud after the
adoption Of n general resolution of lndorse-
ment the delegates were left uuiustructed,
the general evidently depending more
upon the personal LOYALTY OF the various
delegates than upon the efficiency of the
Instructions.
The approval OF President Harrison's
administration was also in conformity
with General Alger's expressed wish of
yesterday, but IL will be observed that
Secretary Blaine came in for somewhat
larger share of encomium. Every mention
of Blaine was received with applause, aud
the orators of the day found it agreeable TO
coniure quite a. often with the nape OF
the secretary of state with that OF
Michigan's fsyorite son.
IL was shortly after II o'clock when Sec
retary Bates of the state ceutral COM
mittee called the convention 10 order.
Ex-Congressman Allen WAS Made tenn
porary chairman. Mr.. Allen, who was
subsequently appointed permanent chair
man, WAS warmly received. and opened
the convention with a stirring speech. He
detailed the principles OF the Republican
party.

rs he is still nursing his inflammatory
rheumatism at Hot Springs, Ark. The
other absentees were Messrs Campbell of
Illinois twho may yet Gomez, Scott of West
Virginia, De Young of California and
Fessenden of Conuecticut. There were
also present Sergeant-at-Arms Meek and
Architect Adler of Chicago The meetings
of the committee were private, but it is
known that the committeeman are re-
viewing the work of the local convention
committees. Reports of the work already
done and outlines OF the plans TO be car
ried out were presented by Chairman
George A. Bracket of the local executive
committee. The only chance for any ,ric-
tion is over the distribution of tickets TO
the hall. So far the national committee
has kept the control OF the tickets in its
own hands. The local committee proposes
to have something 10 say as to how IA por-
tlon at least of the visitors tickets are to
be distributed. The national committee
men visited the hall and pronounced it by
far the best for convention purposes ever
put al the party's disposal.

SPANISH ROMBTHROWEaS,

MADRID, April Like ali Spanish
cities, Cadiz has been closely observing
Holy week. Today being Holy Thursday
there was public procession of worship
ers and priests bearing religious emblems
and relics A considerable crowd watched
the procession as it passed along the
streets. Everybody in the procession
was passing slowly along without a
thought of danger, when suddenly two
men in the crowd Of onlookers threw two
petards directly into the procession. Those
in line were panic-stricken, and fled in
every direction. The bystanders were also
terribly frightened. and sought safety in
flight. Ia the confusion and excitement
the villains who threw the petards made
their escape, and there is not the slightest
clue to their identity. A number of peo-
pie in the procession were more or less in
jured by the explosion, but fortunately
nobody was killed. Many of the people
went TO the church from which the pro-
cession came aud offered up thanks tor
their escape from death.
MADRID, April IA Another bomb was
exploded in Valencia today, presumably
by Anarchists. Much damage was done
to property. The people are terrorized.

REV. JOHN JASPER.

the general as REV. JOHN JASPER.
TEEN until his famous sermon to prove
''that the sun do move" excited ths
laughter of the country.
But it proved much easier to laugh at
Mr.. Jasper than to put him down by
Scripture texts. Every Sunday that he
is at home many white visitors to Rich
mond are seen in his congregation, and
by special request he has repeated his
argument for the Ptolemaic theory
about 300 times. A correspondent of
the Chicago Times, who heard him in
1885, gives this description:
He is venerable three-quarter mis-
cegene (that is nearly full black, with
a fine forehead and very pleasant ad-
dress. His text was, ''The queen of the
south shall rise up against this genera
ton and condemn it," etc., and as hs
went on and grew more excited his lam
guage gradually changed to the planta-
tion lingo and he looked more African.
Swaying tremulously, or leaning far over
the pulpit and waving his long arms, he
half sung, half shouted a gorgeous de-
scription of paradise.
The tropical imagery was wonderful:
Shining sands, crystal streams and ever
green shores; golden crowns, immortal
harps and never whitening flowers; the
sun that never sets, the palms that never
fade and the love that never grows cold,
and then the angels! Oh, my beloved
brethren and sistern, the white robel
angels waiting to welcome the weary
soul to the supermagnolious bowers of
bliss and to feed us, oh, to feed us at the
tree with its twelve manner of fruits
that are for the healing of the nations"
And while every one .swayed back
and forward in unconscious sympathy
(even the white visitors) he suddenly
changed his tone and told us that 'sthey
is some heah that is not heah for the
love of God, but jist to catch up an
carry away somefn to laugh at" (Hs
looked very straight at the white mans
corner.) "But everything give you is
Scripture, and my skirts is clear, and if
you refuse it and have not the love of God
shed abroad in your hearts you will go
-down-to-hell, And with this cheer
full assurance he closed.

THE WYOMING CATTlEMEN.

BUFFALO. n. Y, April 14-Since the in
vaders were arrested the excitement is
subsiding There were forty-three men
captured, consisting of some of the most
prominent cattlemen in the state, includ-
ing State Senator Tisdale, Major Wolcott,
Deputy United States Marshal Canton
and Water Commissioner Clark. If the
United States soldiers had been two
hours later not man would have been left
TO tell the tale. The rustlers had captured
the invaders dynamite and powder, and
had made cannon to throw this dyna-
mite and powder against the building in
which the invaders were intrenched Three
of the invaders were shot, two seriously.
Rauchmen are focking in from all di-
rections, and inside of the next forty
eight hours there will not be less than 500
or 600 men armed to the teeth, awaiting
an opportunity to avenge the killing of
Champion and Ray.

The Re.uIt nfmeri,

When anything stands a test of Fifty
years among discriminating people like
the Americans 1t is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. The value
of medicine is best proved by its con-
tinued use from year to year by the same
persons and families, as well as by steady
increasing sale. Few, If any, medicines
have met with such continued success and
popularity as has marked the introduction
and progress of Brandreth's Pills, which,
after trial of fifty years are conceded to
be the safest and most effective purgative
and blood purifier introduced to the pub,
lie.
That this is the result of merit, and that
Brandredth's Pills actually perform all that
Is claimed for them, is conclusiyely proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
Brsndreth's Pills are sold In every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugs,
coated.

MASONIC.
Decision Rendered In a Somewhat
Famous Case.

Decision Rendered In a Somewhat
Famous Case.
BRIDGEPORT, Dec. Judge Perry of
the court of common pleas to day rendered
decision in the famous Masonic litigation
between Grand Master Hugh Sterling of
this city and Worthy Master Frederick
Mead of st. Johns lodge, Norwalk. The
decision is to the effect that the court has
no jurisdiction in the case, this being the
claim made by the grand master. Mead
recently secured an injunction when
Grand Master Sterling summoned him
before the grand lodge to show why he
should not be deposed for unmasonic con-
duct. The case was argued week ago on
demurrer, the grand master holding
that 1t was not a case for the courts to
decide. By Judge Perry's decision wor-
thy Master Mead will be compelled to
present his case to the grand lodge. The
court dismisses the temporary injunction.
