COLORADO'S CONVENTION
Elects Delegates to the National Convention
Hills Name AppIauded.

DENVER, May 25.-The Democratic state
convention met this morning. Colonel b.
f. Montgomery was made temporary chair
man. After the appointment of commit
tees recess was taken.
AT the afternoon session John McMichael
was elected permanent chairman. After a
prolonged wrangle regarding rules, ETC.,
Hon l. M. Patterson of Denver was elected
by reclamation. After considerable ballot
ing the others selected were: DR.. Pauk
j. J. Borman and Theodore O'Donnell.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tions denounced the policy of the present
administration relative to the removal of
the Indians; asked the notifications of ex
listing tariff laws and demanded the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. 1t was re-
solved that the delegates to the national
convention use every endeavor to secure
the free silver plank, and that it was the
sense of the Democrats of the state that
there was little hope of the election of the
Chicago nominee unless such declaration
was made.
Although the delegates were instructed.
every mention of HIPS name was Loudly
applauded.

RO0sEvELT's REMARKS
Concerning the Actions of tho Postmaster
General In the Baltimore Affair.

General In the Baltimore Affair.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Roosevelt this
morning submitted to the House civil SER
vice committee copy of letter he sent to
Postmaster General Wanamaker on the
10th inst. In the letter Roosevelt says as
Wanamaker turned over to the committee
the report of the postoffi2e inspectors in
the Baltimore Office, in which they charge
Roosevelt with unfsirness and Partially
in the investigation of that Office, without
comment, he (Roosevelt) must assume
that Wanamaker assumed the RESPONSE
bility for the impertinence of his subordi-
mates.
Roosevelt said he had received no answer
to this letter, and was reluctantly obliged
TO assume that the postmaster-genera
made the statements his own, and he de-
clined to allow the postmas ter general to
shelter himself behind his subordinates,
and asserted that the statements of the in
spectors are slanderous falsehoods.
The committee voted to request the post
master-general to furnish a written copy
of the report he had said the assistant
attorney general had made verbally, in
which he held that the contributions to the
primary elections were not political con-
tributions as contemplated in the civil SER
vice law

PRESBYTERIANS.
The Case of DR.. Briggs to Come
Up Today.
Report OF the Board of Foreign Missions
The Compact of 1370-The
Union Seminary.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 25-The regular
order of the day in the Presby terrain gen
eral assembly was foreign missions. The
report presented by DR.. Allison of Phila-
delphia showed that the board had asked
for 81, 100000 and received S99O,O0O: it gave
statistics of the number of workers,
schools Of communicates, etc.
At the afternoon session the report of
the theological seminaries committee was
first ordered. Chairman Mutchmore read
1t. With reference to the union seminary
1t stated that in view o. the action OF the
Detroit assembly the retent "a of Professor
Briggs In his chair must be regarded as
not only failure to comply with the ex-
pressed action of that assembly but also
the agreement in the compact of 1870, and
in view of this the chair of biblical theol-
ogy is still dejure vacant.
A resolution was also offered that the
assembly regard the maintenance of the
existing supervision by the general as
sembly of the character of instruction in
theological Summaries as vital to the wei
fare of the Presbyterian church. a
minority report, signed by Messrs. Taylor,
Baldwin, Strong and Shepard, was pre-
sented. 1t approves the report of the
majority as a correct representation of the
facts, viewed in the light of the last as
sembly's Interpretation of the compact of
1870, but expresses the conviction that
some relief from the present difficulties
should be had.
AS the directors of the Union seminary
express desire to be honorably released
from the compact of 1870, the report
suggests that it be allowed to withdraw
from the compact, and further that COM
mittee be appointed by this assembly to
confer with all theological seminaries under
its supervision, touching their views of the
compact Of 1870, and any new compact tn at
might be devised, and to formulate o new
compact with view to happily uniting all
sanctuaries, the same to be submitted to
the next general assembly.
After some debate it was decided to refer
all papers back to the committee on the
illogical seminaries and the committee i'm
mediately retired for consultation.
After hearing the reports of the commit
tee on publication and Sunday school work,
consideration of the report of the judicial
committee in the appeal from the action of
New York Presbytery in dismissing the
case of DR.. Briggs was taken up. There
was long wrangle over the matter and q
motion was finally adopted that an hour
and half be given each side. The propo-
sition that but one speaker be allowed each
side was ruled out on point of order
After reading the Judgment the assembly
adjourned until tomorrow, when the prose
cutting committee and DIR. Briggs will bt
| heard.

How and when men fist learned to
make hay will probably never be known.
For haYmaking is "process," and the
product is not simply "sundriel' grass,
but grass which has been partly fer
mented, and is as much the work of
mems hands as flour or cider. Probably
its discovery was due to accident, bu.
possibly man learned it from the pikas,
the "calling- hares" of the steppes, which
cut and stack hay for the winter. That
idea would fit nicely with the theory
that Central Asia was the ''home of the
Aryiau race" if we were still allowed to
believe it, and haymaking is certainly an
art mainly practiced in cold countries for
winter forage

Annoy, China, bears the unenviable
reputation of being the dirtiest and most
unheathful city on the globe, writes
United States Consul Bedloe. The repu-
tation is thoroughly deserved What IS
a more unpleasant fact is the promise of
the present tendency of affairs TO lower
and worse condition. The reasons are
obvious to a newcomer at a glance.
The city is built on the edge of a
mountainous Island and is exceedingly
old. Inscriptions on ancient tombs run
back as far as the beginning of the
Christian Era, and coins found in acct
dentally discovered graves date to dyn.
asties from 500 to 1909 b. c. During
all this period the hlIlside5 of the city
have been used rs burying grounds. As
the population increased the houses ell.
croached upon the cemetery laud, until
finally the two became hopeIessly inter
mixed.
The United States Consulate Is re-
garded as a very superior locality, butt
is surrounded Big over 100 tombs, A
score of the large blocks of granite used
in and about it are old tombstones. On
the hill Immediately behind the residence
of F. Malcampo the graves touch one an
other at every point aud form a solid
white surface of rock, brick, porcelain
and cement, covering more than 1000
900 square feet. Near the Llm -paw-do
Joss houses 10000 bodies are said to
have been buried vertically to save space.
They lie or stand in plot of land Of as
many square feet. Annoy proper aud its
suburbs have a living population of
about 1000, 600 and a dead one of four
and half times as many. The wells are
shallow and are sunk on the edges Of
the grayeyards, aud even among the
tombs themselves. l have not seen one
whose water is not muddy aud dis.
coored by the perpetual turning up of
the soil.
The city is q relic Of tho past. 1t is
walled the same as it Was in the time Of
Conlucius. II has no sewers whatever.
The streets vary from two to six fee in
width; no wheeled vehicle can use them.
An equestrian would experience great
difficulty in turning corner. Here and
there is an open space Or plaza, dug out
so as to be huge open cesspooi; into it
the streets discharge their flth,-Thc

Olire Oil for the Skin

The value Of rubbing with olive oil
young child who is delicate in health
and has a naturally dry skin is not gen
orally appreciated. If this is done
properly, every portion of the body be.
ing amounted aud toe oil rubbed well
into the skin by the hand, any excess
being wiped off with soft cloth, it will
not soil the under clothing; and there is
no better way of giving such weak chill
dreu necessary nourislment for the skin
through the pores.
The fact that the skin is dry shows
that it is not in healthy condition.
Many grown women with naturally dry
skins use little oil in this way alter the
bath, and it proves elficacious and agree
able. The amount OF oil used should be
barely enough to lubricate the skin-the
amount used by the skillful masseuse in
her work, and to which her success Is
often due. A little perfumed OIL of sweet
Almonds may be more grateful to some
persons than sweet oil. Certainly much
of the success of the cosmetics of oldel
time was due to the use of almond oil.
instead of the cheaper lard, which is SC
frequently substituted for 1t in our de.
generate times. New York Tribune,

COAL CREEK, TENN.-The battle Of Coal
Creek is at an end. The soldiers are victor
ious for once in the mining troubles, and the
state honor has been upheld When Major
Carpenter turned into the mountains at Offutt
with his 1875 brave men the night was perfect
ly dark. Although the major was familiar
with every by-path in the black wilds, it was
found difficult to keep the direction, and not
even the stars were shining
After a while four men appeared and Off
cred to guide the party Major Carpenter
reluctantly accepted the offer, and the march
was again taken up and at better speed Be
tween 5 and o'clock, while entirely uncou-
scious of danger, the men were fired upon
from behind. The miners lay behind a stone
ledge Their broadsidc moved down Vollu-
teers John Walthal and Bush Owens, both of
Knoxville, and wounded Volunteer Tom
Carter, also of Knoxville Major Caipen-
ter's men wheeled and fought bravely, but
retreat was necessary, they fighting all tho
way. This volunteers fell back to Clinton,
six miles, reaching here at noon
In the meantime General Calnes had o.
tablshed himself at Offutt's TO await day
Light When the first streak of dawn the ad-
vance on Coal Creek was begun The miners
fired over their heads from the mountains SO
that the bullets could be heard whistlinc by
the soldiers. The soldiers returned the fire.
At noon General Calnes captured q band of
deliver General Anderson, who was lured
from the fort on the day before at 10 O'Clock.
At the appointed hour nothing was TO be
seen of either General Anderson or of the
miners.
Then General Carnes entered Coal Creek.
There he found that desultory fight had
been going on between troops and the miners
at Fort Anderson all day The miners sur
rendered at 40 P. NJ General Anderson
was restored to his command and peace was
declared.
After reaching Clinton Major Carpenters
men, although they had not slept for a
hours, went by train directly to Coal Creek,
and reported to General Carnes as he marched
into the town. They were then sent to Knox
vile with their dead and wounded. 1t is not
known how many miners are injured
The town is quiet, and there Is little doubt
that General Carnes and General Anderson
can hold it without serious trouble
