FOR vICE-PRESIDENT:
ADLAI E. STEVENSON,
OF ILLINOIS.

PRIOR to the meeting of the
county convention on Monday
last it was generally conceded
by everyone that Senator
John Walter Smith would be
a candidate for Congress and
his friends were reluctant to
accept the withdrawal of his
candidacy. Delegates had
assembled representing every
district in the county favor
able to his endorsement in
the county convention and
nomination by the Congress-
ional Convention at Easton,
and hence the gloom cast over
the delegates assembled in
the Court House when it was
announced that he would not
serve. 1t seldom happens
that man OF his years has
rendered him such honors as
this. not by his own county
alone but by nearly every
other county in the district,
and it is useless to say that
he was reluctant TO reject the
offer, but actuated by a sense
of duty to his partners in bust
ness who had expressed an
unwillingness that he should
accept the position. he sacri-
feed his own ambitions and
personal desires and declined
to receive the nomination
which awaited him. His de-
clination is not due to any sell
fish motive of his own, but
solely to an objection express
ed by his partners that he
should accept the honored
position so coveted by many.
Although in his withdrawal he
has made a great sacrifice, his
action is meritorious and hon
orable, and possesses a two
fold consolation, first, that the
honor of being Congressman
was rendered him by his party
in recognition OF his fidelity,
fitness and ability, and sec
ond that it is an honorable
self-sacrihce made in the
interest of friends by whom
he preferred to do his whole
duty regardless Of personal
preferences.

TIE Democratic Congress
ional Convention Of the First
Congressional District Of
Maryland met in Easton at
noon on Wednesday last and
nominated two candidates for
Congress, one to fill out the
unexpired term of Judge
Henry Page, resigned, in the
SD Congress, and the other
TO represent the First Con
grcssional District in the
sgd Congress. Every county
in the district had a full repre-
sentation of delegates and
nearly all had candidates
whom they were willing and
anxious to serve in the con
vention. Owing to the with
drawal Of Senator John
Walter smith. TO whom the
nomination was conceded, the
most intense excitement pre-
vailed among the delegates.
The Worcester delegation
exhausted itself on favorite
sons but without success, dele
gates from other counties
arguing that if Senator Smith
would not accept, their duty
was to help someone from
another county. 1t was not
until after many Intellectual
ballots had been cast and
every effort exhausted by the
friends of the several candi-
dates that a combination was
made which resulted in nomi-
mating Hon. John b. Brown,

What Is Done with Rabbit Skins.

What use is made of rabbit skins?
Why, the hat on your head is made of
them. The hair i plucked off the pelt by
hand \ fortune awaits the man who can
invent a machine to do it. a fine blue fur
is then left on the pelt. The skin is then
pared away from the fur by delicate ma
chinery, machinery so fine that when the
last pairing is cut off the fur sometimes
hangs in one ilmy section. This is worked
up into felt. Ordinary hats are made from
rabbit skin 4 better class is made from
hare skin. The best are made from the
nutria a kind of water rat trapped in
Buenos Ayrcs. and then come beaver and
rnusquash. obtained in the United States
and Canada.
The cowboy wants the best hat in the
world and as he pays for it he gets it. The
nutria felt stands wet and remains stiff
brimmed after soaking. because it is made
from the fur of a water animal. The
American iackrabbit is of no use at all to
the trade. The English rabbit supplies
the best fuY, like silk. but of course not
waterproof. Then comes the New Zealand
rabbit, followed by the Australian.-In-
terview in San Francisco Chronicle.

An Angel Fish n Cannibal.

A novelty at the geological gardens is a
specimen of the angel fish, which has
been placed in a tank along with a num-
Der of founders. The habits of the fish
suggest that it is angel remarkably
well disguised, for it is one of the most
ferocious and bloodt hirsty fishes extant-
Small though the specimen at the zoo is.
it is quite possible that the tank where II
lives may he the scene of tragedy, for
founders and fiat fish of various kinds are
precisely the diet which this creature pre-
fers. The fish has also received, for an
equally inscrutable reason, the name of
monk fish" The best name of the many
which it enjoys is Il shark ray. The crea-
ture is intermediate in its form between
the flattened rays and the sharks.-London
