FUSION GIVEN A BLACK EYE
A Congressional Convention in Kansas That
Is Taken as a Pointer.

A Congressional Convention in Kansas That
Is Taken as a Pointer.
HoLToN, KAN, June 2.-The Peoples
party Convention for the First Congress
sional district administered a very black
eye to the scheme for fusing with the Dem
ocratic party. There were three candi-
dates, two of whom the Democrats, through
their leader, signifed their willingness to
support. These were Colonel W. A. Har-
ris, of Leavenworth, an ex-Confederate anG
Democrat, and j. w. Fitzgerald, an e1-
Democrat The third candidate was Fred
j. Close, a. Union soldier, who had lost an
arm. The first five ballots showed that
Fitzgerald and Harris had between them
nearly two-thirds of the delegates, but an
adjournment was taken and charges of
treachery were made by the friends of
each.
Democratic leaders state that it means
straight nominations in all Congressional
districts.

Eat Before Retiring,

The wise doctors grow wiser with each
year. Time was when they were wise
enough to tell US that the chief Of sins
against ones stomach vas to give it
work to do before putting it to bed.
This was declared to be the fruitful
source of dyspepsia and nightmare and
other unholy Affections. They are wiser
now, and tell rs that so far from being
wrong to ourselves to eat before going t."
bed it is a wise and desirable thing to
do, especially in case Of delicate persons
and growing children, or when the food
has had time to thoroughly digest before
the sleeping hour.
Many a. person has found this out for
himself or herself by personal expert
ment. There are a few persons so I'M
fortunate as to be unable to eat even
lightly before sleeping without having q
stupid headache the next day. But the
majority Of people are only the better
for a little food at bed time. 1t should
not be rich or of great variety. a few
biscuits and a cup Of hot bOuillOn is OK
c~ellent; so is a glass of hot milk slipped
slowly. Cheese, meats, fruits and pas
tries are not good guides through dream
land. They know where the Ogres dwell.

Mrs. SheldOn'S CuriOsitieS.

Mrs. French Sheldon, the we'll known
African traveller, has received a very
pressing invitation from Mrs. Potter
Palmer, lady manager Of the women's
department in the Chicago exhibition,
to exhibit her splendid collection of At
rican curiosities at the coming exhibit
ton. Mrs. Sheldon won the confidence
of the natives and especially Of the
women in a way no a. could ever hope
to do, and IN this way she succeeded in
gaining information of much interest
and novelty and securing objects which
had never been seen out of Africa be-
fore. One woman followed her $50
miles up country before she could be in
duced to part with aleather apron which
only married women wear, bat which
they never sell or give to strangers, as
they have an idea that should they do
so, the person to whom it is given will
have some mysterious power over them
forever.-LOndon's WOman's Herald.

The Pearl Hunters Superstition.

The pearl hunters of BOrneo and the
adjacent islands have a peculiar super
stition. When they open shells in search
of pearls, they fake every ninth find,
whether it be large or small, and put it
iuto a bottle which is kept corked with
a dead mans finger. The pearls in the
vial are known as ''seed pearls" or
breeding pearls" and the native Bor-
neose firmly believes that they will re-
produce their kind. For every pearl
put into the vial two grains Of rice are
thrown in for the pearls to feed upon.
Some whites in Borneo believe as
firmly in the superstition as the natives
do, and almost every hut along the coast
has its "dead finger" bottle with from
nine to fifty seed pearls and twice that
number of rice grains carefully. and
evenly slowed away among them. Pro-
fessor Kimmerly says that nearly every
burial place along the coast has been
d~esecrated by "pearl breeders" in search
of corks for their bottles.-St. Louis Re

4 Hero of Today,

History and poetry celebrate no sub
Inner act of devotion than that of Albert
G. Drecker, the Waterman of the Pas

and Newark railroad. The train was
due, and he was closing the draw, when
his little child fell into the deep water.
1t would have been easy enough to res
cue him if the father could have taken
the time, but already the laundering
train was at hand. 1t was a cruel agony.
His child could be saved only at the cost
of other lives committed to his care. The
brave man did his duty, but the child
was drowned.-New York Press.

What Some Men Spend on Amusement.

What Some Men Spend on Amusement.
Probably few persons who sit around
a pool table witnessing a clever game Of
pool have any idea Of the time and money
necessary to become a crack player. Of
either pool or billiards. New York
boasts many fine amateurs. The latter
are to be found everywhere for that
matter. | have seen men hanging about
a livery stable in a country village in
their shirt sleeves who can hole all the
balls on an opening at pool, and can run
fifties and hundreds at French carrom.
The great body Of pool and billiard
players are in it for the amusement and
exercise. They spend from an hour to
four hours daily walking around a table
and punching the worries. Two hours a
day is thought necessary to keep up
practice. A dollar an hOur is not an ex-
travagant estimate Of the average ex-
pense in New York. The better the
player the more he plays, and $500 a
year in walking around a table isn't
much for that kind Of man. Twenty to
forty years Of this, however, represents
in good hard cash considerably more
than that kind Of a man has on hand at
the end Of his career.-New York Her

Ia:-; Io.ne and Some American Girls.
- following pleasant and unusual
ezDe.ic-"e happened to a party of well
known American girls who were trsyel-
ing III Europe one ummer Its truth
OF course can be vouched for. The story
is told by one of the young ladies: ION
our way to Edinburgh we stopped over
a train at Stirling to see the castle, and
there an adventure befell US of which l
will tell yod. When we got out of the
train and were looking about for the
ways and means of reaching the castle
we were a~ccosted by a tall, fine looking,
middle aged man, who asked if we were
not from the other side of the water
We said yes and that we wanted to
get to the castle. He said that he was
going there and would be glad TO show
us the way and also to show us his old
family house, which was close by. We
got into a carriage, and our new friend
mounted the box beside the driver and
on we went. E
I'VE finally stopped before a quaint
old house, with coats of arms carved IN
stone, and he led Us into the courtyard,
which was very quaint and old. he
said the place was called Argyle Lodge
and then added: Perhaps | ought TO
tell you who | am. l am Lord Lorne,
the last of the house of.Argyle! He
then took us all over the castle, the old
Gray Friars' church, and rushed about
SO that we saw twice as much as we
could possibly have seen by ourselves,
for he knew just what was worth seeing
and could shake off the guide when he
started on his long, rambling story.
Lord LQrne was perfectly lovely, and
| we have all lost our hearts to him, and
have serious designs first upon the life
of the Princess Louise, his wife, and
hen upon each other. "-Rochester Post

Peter the Greats Motto.

Every one can appreciate the impor-
lance of the slight matters spoken of, be-
cause the wonderful results are now be-
fore the world. But the beginnings of
these things were treated with ridicule
or contempt. No matter how unimpor-
tant a circumstance appears, it is quite
possible that great results may come
from it. In a small building which was
once Peter the Greats workshop in Hol,
land is the inscription, Nothing is too
little for the attention Of a great man.
