SCENES BEFORE THE OPENING.
A Vast Throoc About the Armory-oVa
ffons 10 the Leaders.

Vast Throng About the Armory-oVa-
lions TO the Leaders.
A considerable while before the time
set for the opening OF the convention
the streets in the neighborhood Of the
ermory became crowded with delegates
who appeared on every side eagerly DIS
cussing the situation and arguing their
views. The most intense interest was
displayed, but an unexpected degree OF
harmony prevailed and there was sin-
onlar absence OF rows and the usual dit-
ticuIties generally attendant upon such
gatherings.
Just in front OF the armory an i'm
mense throng gathered, and although
scores Of people poured into the doors
tho crowd did not diminish Tor some
time after the vast body had been called
10 order. At least half dozen police
men were on hand to quell any dis
turbances which might arise, and mum
her were also stationed on the inside OF
the building, but they had little to do.
TEE DELEGATES GIVEN PREFERENCE.
In order TO prevent any unforeseen
rush in the halls only those having dele
gates badges and members OF the press
were ut first admitted.
Several enterprisins individuals. with

an eye to profit, dispensed lemonade
lust inside the entrnnce-doors. while in
the hallway OF the conventlon-room q
large tub Of ice-water had been placed
by the committee.
The large room in which the conven-
ton took place presented striking
picture. Tho floors were covered with
sawdust, which deadened tho sound Of
footsteps Through the large aisles
between the chairs the delegates poured
10y hundreds, and it was nearly half-past
IL before the crowd became seated, as
many had been detained 10y the district
meetings held earlier IN the morning.
Meanwhile the Blues Band enlivened
the occasion with music and added in
spiration to ,hethrong. The band. which
received deserved praise for Its excel
lent work, was stationed on the south
end OF the platform.
An OVATION TO DANIEL
Senator Daniel. accompanied by
Mayor Ellyson and number of other
distinguished Democrats. made his APP
pearance few minutes after II, and as
soon as the crowd espied him they
raised a deafenng cry Of applause,
which clearly demonstrated his weight
aud popularity with the convention. He
smiled pleasantly when he observed the
kindly feelings of the gathering. and
bowed his acknowledgement OF the
courtesy, and the applause continued
until be took his seat with the rest OF
the delegation from the Sixth District.
subsequently he was invited to seat on
the platform.
When General Fitzhugh Lee entered
the hall he. too. received an enthusi-
astic ovation. which made the room echo
with applause. lie took a seat with the
Rockbridge representatives, but after
the convention had been in session for a
short while Mr.. William Ryan made a
motion that he be invited to occupy a
seat on the stage, and the gallant ex-
Governor was escorted 10 the platform
bv Mr.. Ryan and Dr. Jul. B. Wood.
Colonel O'Ferrall was heartily cheered
also when he entered the room, and
walked down the centre aisle to the
platform. where he was invited TO sit.
The stage was crowded with num-

At2.3O the convention took recess
Tor two hours. The respite was needed.
Tho demonstration of the previous ten
or fifteen minutes had exhausted most OF
the delegates, who were prone to give
vent 10 their enthusiasm. As the body
dispersed the feeling Was expressed III
the words, "AlPs well.
During the recess the focal points OF
interest were Sanger Hall and the
Theatre, the headquarters respectively
OF the champion OF TN uninstructed dele
cation and of the Cleveland men, where
meetings were held TO perfect the details
Of the compromise. The forces dis
PATCHED their business promptly, but
The services of the Cleveland men were
long and exciting and rumors that n
cloud threatened began TO fill the air.
This expected cloud was in the shape OF
resolution adopted by the Cleveland
meeting.
Shortly after the business OF the after
noon session had commenced Governor
Mckinney entered tine hall, escorted by
the committee appointed to wait on
him and invite him 10 seat on the

Drugs for L mergencies.

The list of drugs that will raise the
body temperature Is not very extended,
but many Of them have powerful actions
in this respect and a general knowledge
of them is of value to every intelligent
person. In sudden emergencies when
the temperature drops far below the
normal they may prove OF inestimabl e
value. The most common thing used
for this purpose is alcohol when given
in small doses, but the effect on the
temperature is only temporary, followed
generally by a reactive tendency which
carries the temperature the other way.
The drug that is the most powerful in
this respect is beIadonna, which will
rapidly raise the temperature of the
body. Similar to this the so-called
chloride of gold, which if pushed to its
highest effect will not only r ise the
temperature, but cause the so-called
''auric fever" The body temperature
is also increased quite safely by cocaine,
caffeine, and compounds of drugs con-
tanning them. When administered in
large doses, PHOSPHORUS will likewise
cause a marked elevation in the tenn.
perature. These are really the most i'm
portant agents containing this peculiar
property, and they are generally the ones
TO be relied upon in sudden emergencies.

FLAX MEAL. FOR CALVES.

At the Iowa station experiments have
been in progress to determine the feed
ing value of ground iaxseed for young
calves. A bull and heifer calf of both
Holstein and Shorthorn breeds were
chosen, the two bulls beng fed on whole
milk, and the two heifers on milk
SKINNED after being set twelve hours,
with as much faxseed as they could as
simulate without securing. These ex-
periments lasted through three months,
the calves being weighed every fifteen
days.
The results Indicate 1. That ration
of skim milk and ground faxseed COM
pare favorably with new milk ration
for young calves-2. The skim milk and
flaxseed meal fed calves were less in
terupted in their growth by weaving
than were the whole milk calves 8. A
saving value of butter fat alone at 81. IL
per month on each calf, was effected by
substituting the ground flaxseed-4.
The cost of producing pound of gain,
estimating new milk at S7i cents per
hundred pounds, skim milk at 15
cents per hundred pounds, grain 1 cent
per pound, hay So per ton (the latter two
being fed alike to both lots) and faxseed
meal 81 cents per pound, was 7.6 cents
per pound increase with the fresh milk
ration, and only five cents with the skim
milk ration. 1t seems, therefore, more
economical to feed calves skim milk and
faxseed than with whole milk. -Ameri-

CARE OF THE REFRIGERATOR.

The care of the refrigerator is one OF
the most important duties of the house.
wife at all seasons of the year. In hot
weather, however, a weeks neglect is
often productive of very serious results.
Nothing should prevent the regular per-
sonal supervision of the housekeeper at
least once week. If the refrigerator
be movable one, it should have free
access of sun and air. When the day
for the weekly scrubbing arrives take
everything out and remove shelves, stats
and ice rack. Scrub each one heroically
with hot soapsuds in which plentiful
supply of washing soda has been dis
solved. Afterwards scald with kettle
full of clean, boiling water, wipe thor
oughly and place in the sun TO dry.
While they are drying return to the re-
frigerator and scrub out the ice chamber.
Do not forget to run flexible wire
down the pipe to see that it is not
stopped up with decaying matter. Next
pour kettle of strong, boiling soda
water i'll the ice chamber and down the
pipe. Wipe all dry. Continue this pro-
cess till all the walls are thoroughly
cleansed. Leave the refrigerator open
for awhile for good airing, then return
the ice and food, and go about the rest
of your work with clear conscience.
