Mr.. Ellington VIII Be Chairman and DIR.


Mr. Ellington VIII Be Chairman and Dir.
Hayes Secretary.
OMAHA July 1.-The national committee
of the Peoples party met this afternoon and
selected the Hon. c. A. Ellington. of Georgia,
as temporary chairman of the convention,
and John w. Hayes, general secretary
Knights of Labor as secretary. 1t also de-
cided that the Hon. Ben Terrell. of Texas.
should. In behalf of the convention, make
the response to the Mayors welcome at 10
o'clock tomorrow.
1t was decided that addresses in memory
of President Polk. of the Farmers Alli-
ance. should be delivered, but considerable
dispute arose as to the time of
these memorial exercises. General
Weaver suggested some hour Sum
day, but Mr.. Terrell opposed
this, saying the party owes 1t co the mem-
ory of Polk to set an hour for those
memorial exercises when the convention
shall be In regular session and all dele
gates present. General Weaver and others
persisted that the Sabbath was most
appropriate for the memorial exercises.
and 3 O'Clock Sunday afternoon was
memorial address in respect to the
deceased president. Some one suggested
that other prominent deceased reformers
should be included in the memorial exer-
cises. and II was particularly sus-
whose memory could be appropriately
revered. Robert SchillinR. of Milwau-
kee, declared he was not in favor of that.
MIR. Stackhcuse, he said, was q good Alli-
apce man. but he invariably voted with
the Democrats. Mr.. Schilling's objection
was accepted as sufficient, and Mr. Stack
house will not come in for eulogy in Sun
days proceedings.
The question Of the distribution of tick
cts was taken up and settled by Its refer
ence to a special committee. The only dis
pute arose over the proposition of q member
to admit lndiscriminately all the ex-veter-
ans of the Union and confederate armies.
This suggestion was met with prompt oD-
position from an ex-soidier, who declared
that the veterans were willing TO take
their chances with all others. but If the
doors were thrown open as proposed the
ex-soldie 70 of tho State of Nebraska would
fill the conyentio hall and leave no place
for the delegates. This entiment from an
ex.soldier was loudly applauded, and IT was
decided that no attempt be made 60 make
political capital out of the ex-veterans.
Already there 10 considerable speculation
as co who will be permanent chairman of
the convention. and by general consent
that honor seems likely TO be accorded
to the Hon. T. V. Powderly, grand
master workman of the Knights of Labor.
Mr.. Powderly will not arrive here till to-
morrow, and the election of permanent
chairman Will not be made till tomorrow
afternoon or evening.

The Great Niagara Tunnel.

The great Niagara tunnel has been
made from the level Of the lower river,
lust under the falls. extending under
the point OF land made by the bend
OF the river at the Falls for nenriy
two miles up the river, and at depth
OF 100 feet below the river level above
the falls. An almost unlimited mum
ber OF shafts can be sunk, dischargiDg
into this great waterway 20 feet In
diameter and 5000 feet long, which
has been five years ia building.
II must not be supposed that In tap
ping this 10000 horsepower the
whole Of Niagara has been made ready
for mans service. IL has been cal
culated that there are 6,0OO, 900 horse
power In this mighty cataract. But
using only 10000 Buffalo will have
seven times rs much power as Min
neapolis and five times as much as
Holyoke; and the river not only never
runs dry but can never run dry.
The utilization Of these i2O,OD0
horse power will undoubtedly give
Buffalo 100000 population within
ten years.

The Young Doctors Opportunity.

DIR. Hugh Blake Williams tells the
Chicago Herald doleful story OF the
experience OF n young physician.
You have no idea my dear boy" he
said, .ot the difficulties which environ
the young man when he first starts
out in the practice OF medicine ana
surgery When first started out 1
was trying to do both, and considered
myself competent 10 do either, but
somehow the balance OF the commun-
ity where started, down in old Nir-
ginia, did not seem TO agree with me.
| used all the arts usually employed
by young practitioners. l had my
horse brought around every morning
and used 10 gallop around as though
there was a pestilence in every sec
ton of the country and nobody could
get well until got there. had boy
regularly employed TO call me out OF
church in the middle of the services
and used to go out with rush that
would break up a campmeeiing.
None OF these things seemed TO work
worth a cent. To add 10 my discom-
future. the balance OF the doctors in
town seemed To have leagued against
my interests.
Finally. however, my chance came.
There was medical convention one
day in the next county and all the
doctors OF my own town except my
self went over to attend it. That ar
ternoon an Irish man named Rafferty,
fell in a sewer and broke his leg l
was the only doctor left in town, and
| got the case. | fixed that lrishman

Superstitions Of Brides.

One of these is expressed in an old
rhyme which is familiar TO US all
Change the name and not the letter.
You change for the worse and not for the
better.
Another is that the day must be
fine. in accordance with an old-time
saw
Happy IL the bride that the sun shines on.
Blessed are the dead that the rain rains on.
There is still another superstition
POLITICALLY rendered that brides
wardrobe must contain:
something old and something new.
Something borrowed. something blue.
1t is considered very bad fortune
for bride to make her own wedding
cake or to have anything TO do with
it, and, strange as it may seem, 1t has
been observed over and over again In
unhappy marriages that the bride has
stirred the wedding cake.
To lose the wedding ring in the first
month OF marriage augurs great mis-
fortune. To lose it at any time is sup
posed to predict calamity. There IL
an explanation Of this superstition
which is OF the same theory that time
will cure all this:
AS the wedding ring wears,
so wear away LIES cares.

And the little town o. Tailholt is wide enough

You kin smile, and turn your nose up, and

But the little town o. Tailholt's good enough

A Tradition.

There Is tradition that the site
upon which the temple OF Solomon
WAS built was owned In common by
two brothers, one OF whom had n
family, the other none. On the even
ming after harvest, the elder brother
said to his wife: MY younger brother
is unable TO bear the burden and heat
of the day. ! will arise, take some
OF my shocks aud place them, without
his knowlege, with his shocks" The
younger brother, being actuated by
similar kind motives, said within
himself. MY brother has family
and have none. | will contribute To
their support. Twill take OF my shocks
and place them with his, without his
knowledge Great was the aston
ishment OF both when next morning
they found their shocks undiminisbed
This happened several nights In sue
cession, when each resolved to stand
guard and solve the mystery. They
did so, and the following night met
halfway between their respective
shocks with arms full. Upon ground
hallowed by such associations as tbess
was the temple Of Solomon erected
that temple so spacious, 40 magnih-
cent, the admiration and wonder OF
the world. 1t Is only upon grounds
hallowed by love that any enduring
structure can be built. On no other
basis can peace and good will, right
eousness aud justice, be placed.
Other foundations for all the interest
OF mankind can no one lay than that
which il laid deep and firm in the
best affections Of the heart.

Henry Watterson's Lecture.

Great interest is being manifested in the
lecture to be given at Albaugh's tomorrow
evening by Henry Watterson. This interest is
not only intellectual, but personal, for the in.
dividuality of the editor Of the Courier
Journal, no less than his mental idiosyncrasies,
has long attracted the public attention. Peo.
pie are curious to mark the differences that
may exist in the man as he writes and az a
speaker, and consequently the house will be
large one.
Mr.. Watterson is an old wnshingtoninn, was
born here in fact, aud did his first piece OF
newspaper work when a boy as an amateur re-
porter for The EVENING STAR He went out
into the world to win fame and fortune and
comes back to us with a plentitude o. both.
He brings with him the reputation Of being as
facie with his tongue as he is known to be with
his pen. or this Washingtonians can Judge
for themselves after hearing him at Albaugh's.
He is to discourse upon Money and Morals"

A measure Of much interest and importance
70 the engineer officers Of the navy has bees
favorably reported 10 the Senate from the
committee on naval Affairs by Senator Butler,

TO THE OCEANS BOTTOM.

A Trip There and Back Described by DR..
John Murray at the National Museum.
A trip to the bottom OF the ocean, with re-
turn guaranteed, is an experience not often
enjoyed. Judging from the close attention OF
the large audience that filed the lecture hall
OF the National Museum last evening, the deep
sea and its inhabitants and scenery is full of
interest. The guide on this occasion was DR..
John Murray, F. R. s. E. who gave lecture on
"The Challenger expedition and some Of its
scientific results" under the auspices of the
National Geographic Society. The lecture
was fully illustrated by stereopticon views of
the contents Of the nets used in deep sea
dredging, and while the strange animals. the
shells and other objects did not APP
pear on tho scene literally dripping
with water, yet it required no great stretch Of
the imagination to supply the water, especially
as the audience had come out through puddles
and pools and under dripping skies to hear the
lecture. The theories of the lecturer based on
the knowledge Of the world beneath the sea as
revealed by the dredge were heard with great
interest, especially as they differed from
Darwin and other leading scientists as to the
subsistence of the bottom of the ocean and the
formation of the coral islands. At the close
of the lecture, upon the suggestion of Mr.,
Gardiner q. Hubbard, the president of the So
ciety, vote OF thanks to the lecturer was
unanimously adopted.
