MINNEAPoLIs, June 9.-The session of
the convention this morning was so soon
done that it was difficult to tell what it
was begun for. Chairman Mckinley
came to his seat on the platform a few
minutes before II o'clock to the clapping
of perhaps 100 hands. There was little
demonstration at the entrance of other
leaders. Even the spectacular Ingalls,
came down to his seat accompanied only
by the glamour of his famous red neck
tie. The band tried to infuse little life
into the meeting by playing a tumultn-
GUS galop. 1t was nearly II o'clock
when J. Sloat Fassett marched into the
hall and was given warm ovation. A
moment later, gray haired, white beard
ed Malone, with a precise military step,
came down the aisle and 10000 hands
welcomed him. A good natured rivalry
sprang up and in the vigor of the ap-
plause was measured the popularity of
all the great party leaders. Senator Gull

ute from the Harrison forces, and mo-
ment later the Blaine people responded
with wild cheers of welcome to ex-Sena-
tor Warner Miller.
Chrirman Coggswell announced when
the convention had been called to order
that the committee on credentials was
not ready to report, and Senator Cullom
introduced resolution favoring the
worlds fair, which was referred.
Senator Sewall of New Jersey, one OF
the anti Harrison men, moved a recess
to o'clock.
Pennsylvania and Ohio were notably
in favor of adjournment, while W!scon.
sin, Missouri and several of the strong
Harrison states were opposed. After q
careful count of heads, Chairman Nc
Kinley said: "The yeas are 4O7 and nays
260, and the convention concludes to ad.
journ until O. clock this evening"" Ap-
plause.
Thousands looked forward to the
night session with lively interest. Dur.
the afternoon a palsy seemed to have
fallen upon everybody. The crowds de-
serted the hotel corridors and the noisy
bands seemed to have hied themselves tc
far off countries. Flaming head lines
in the evening papers predicting lively
fight at the night session, stirred up the
excitement and led to a vigorous demand
for tickets. Consequently when the
night session began, the hall was crowd

POTTERY WORKERS IN EGYPT.
What They Produce in Ceramics and
Dainty Articles de Luxe.

Dainty Articles de Luxe.
jewelers. Chronicle.l
Some very interesting particulars respect
ing the home industries of Egypt are given
in a recent report which the Austrian Con-
sui at Cairo made to his Government. The
greater part of the goods manufactured find
a sale principally among tourists and for
eigners visiting the country. Speaking gen.
orally, the Egyptian industries of to-day
may be divided into three groups: The
minor or ''house" industry, agriculture,
and the factory industry. OF the first
group, one of the oldest is the ceramic in
dustry, which is carried on in pottery works
on the river sides in Cairo, Alexandria
and Rosetta The chief articles of this
class produced are the porous bottle-shaped
vessels and bulging refrigerators known by
the name of Alkaraza, as we'll as filters
known as Sir, the latter chiefly made at
Keneh. The finer classes of goods, such as
ornamental vases, lamps, and ornamental
articles generally, come from Assiout and
Upper Egypt.
Cairo is the chief center of the metal in
dustry Articles of gold and silver are
manufactured in small quantities indeed
ana chiefly for the peasant population and
tourists. They mostly consist of massive
silver rings for decorating the arms and
ankles, twisted bands, chains and iligree
work of fine gold and silver. There are
several lapidaries in Cairo and Alexandria,
chiefly engaged in cutting turquoises.
The wood industry, besides employing a
large number of joiners engaged in pro-
ducing ordinary European furniture, in
cludes also some establishments in Cairo
and Alexandria, where art furniture in the
Arabian style is turned out. This mainly
consists in wall screens, presses, chairs,
fauteuiis, small tables, so-called Koran
stands, mirror and picture frames, pier
tables, etc., generally inlaid with mother
of-pearl, bone or metal. The principal pur-
chasers of these articles, too, are foreigners,
either settled1n or journsying through the
country. Assiout does an export trade in
articles of ebony of finer workmanship in
laid with ivory

USE OF THE NAPKIN.
1t Was First Employed Only by Children

It Was First Employed Only by Children
and Scorned by Elders.
Boston Globe.j
Curiously enough, that article, now con-
sidercd almost indispensable, the table nap
kin, was first used only by children, and
was only adopted by elder members of the
family about the middle of the fifteenth
century. In etiquette books of an earlier
date than this, among other sage pieces of
advice for children, are instructions about
wiping the fingers and lips with their nap
kinA
1t seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor, and served the
grown people in place of napkins. When
they did begin to use napkins they placed
them first on the shoulder, then on the left
arm, and finally tied them about the neck.
A French writer, who evidently was con-
servative and did not welcome the napkin
kindly, records with scorn:
'The napkin is placed under the chin and
fastened in the back, as if one were going
to be shaved. A person told me that he
wore bis this way that he might not soil his
beautiful frillh"
Napkins became popular in France sooner
than in England. At one time it was Gus
tomarY at great English dinners to change
the napkins at every course, to perfume
them with rose water, and to have them
folded different way for each guest

Boston Herald.I
In Australia, where population is sparse
and distances are great, some remarkable
feats of endurance in horse riding are cred
tied to the mounted police, feats more re-
markable in some instances, taking into
account all the circumstances, than those
accomplished by the winners in the mill
tary ride between Vienna and Berlin,
Trooper Power, in February, 1880, un-
lnhospitable country in pursuit of horse
officer travelled 766 miles in 26 davs with
out changing horses. For one stage of 80
miles he was wholly without water, and the
country was in such a bad state for 13O
miles that his two horses had nothing to
eat. His powers of endurance may be
Judged from the statement that he did 80
miles day on worn out horses, along long
dry stages, aud with bad water or no water
at all to drink. Trooper Wiltshire, on an
other occasion, rode 85 miles in 20 hours on
one horse. This was on May %. 1887, two
days after the native had 'stuck up' Fri
duna station.
The same man travelled 200 miles in four
DAYS when he heard that comrade named
Shirley had died of thirst He did not have
the macadamized roads and plenty of fresh
water like German officers, but he had a
broiling sun to endure, sand hills to climb,
'tmulga" scrub to penetrate, and was some
times compelled to take dead animals out
of native wells before he could use the
water.
