BeCOre the Wedding.

They were two young men, and they
occupied II cross seat in an ~ car. The
conversation which engrossed them was
not intended to be funny, but it was.

loudly that the conversation suddenly

Climate Does Not Change RapidIv.

Every now and then some weather sage
predicts extremely cold winters, and an
other ventures to say that the sun is grad
ually losing heat and in time arctic cold
will prevail over the globe Whatever
may have been the changes during the
vast cycles of time prior to the advent of
man, or whatever may be the changes in
the time to come, one thing is quite GER
tain, that our climate has been much modi
fed within the last 1000 or 1900 years.
There have been fifteen climatic changes
since the beginning of the glacial age, each
change lasting Il, 5OOyears and each change
reversing the season in the two hem-
spheres, the pole which had enjoyed per-
petual summer being doomed to undergo
perpetual winter for 10000 years, and then
passing to its former state for an equal
term. The physical changes upon the
earth's surface during the last $4,000 years
modified the changes of climate even in
the arctic regions, so that the intense cold
of the former epochs was much modified
during the latter epochs.
Reckoning these climatic changes in their
order, we had entered the epoch of "A more
genial temperature about |, 800 years ago,
and if no disturbing change takes place
during the present epoch we may reason
ably expect "A gradual modification of our
winters for 5000 years to- ome. The change
to intense cold from perpetual summer
during the greater part of the glacial
period is supposed to have been caused by
the high temperature of the north pole as
compared to that of the south pole owing
TO the distribution of the land around the
two, the south having almost none.-Pro

half dozen states, met them. They were
greeted all along the line of march with
cheers. When the club filed into

for Blaine were called for and
given twice over. Somebody called for
cheers for the president. The response
was equally hearty, and when picture

ALMOST A FIGHT.

Row Nearly Precipitated by the Arrival
OF an Indiana Blaine Club.
One of the most dramatic and sensa-
tional episodes of the gathering of the
clans that have yet occrred took place
IN the morning. It was precipitated by
the arrival of anti Harrison delegation
from Fort Wayne, headed by r. G.
Mcdonald, . wealthy politician of that
city, who opposed Harrison four years
ago, on account of some personal griev-
ances. Mcdonald came at the head of
the Indiana Blaine club, which he had
brought on special train at
his own expense. They bore aloft a
picture of the man from Maine. On their
arrival at the West Mcdonald himself
proceeded to hang the picture alongside
the Harrison pictures ontside the Indiana
headquarters. This bold defiance exas-
perated the Harrisonians beyond meas
ure. Rhody Shiel, in particular, lost all
control of himself, and from the fringe
of the crowd shouted to somebody to
"cut the rag down." Others urged that
Mcdonald and his people be thrown ont,
and were dared to make the first move
in that direction. Half dozen people
made dash for the banner, but at
this moment it was placed in the
hands of little girl, who
was hoisted over the heads of the crowd
and SO kept 1t out Of reach. The Fort
Wayne contingent had by this time re-
ceived reinforcements and hustEing Shiel
into corner they shook their fists in his
face and threatened him with personal
violence. The Harrison people, realiz-
ing that big mistake had been made,
shouted Hear"
But the blood Of the antis was mp,
one of them declared in language loud
and strong that it was now war to the
knife. Finally the banner was hung up
in triumph over the headquarters of the
anti -Harrisonians within sight Of the
regular Indiana room and full length
Autographs of the man from Maine
were hung up wherever a picture of
Harrison could be found.

VIII the Nomination BE Made Quickly
or VIII the Contest BE Long
Drawn?
That Is What Is Being Asked by
Everybody Just Now at
Minneapolis.
The Arrival Of Major Mckinley Gives
Great Comfort 10 the Harrison
Forces.

MISNEAPoLIs, June 7.--Will the Re
publican convention be simply q ratifi-
cation meeting or long drawn, bitter
contest Can the president develop
sufficient strength within the next two
days to ensure his nomination ON an
early ballot, il not ON the first, or can
the man from Maine attack the enemy
and rout it in but the preliminary skirrn-
ish OF the battle? These are the ques-
tions that are being asked on the eve Of
the great convention, and they are being
answered according to the particular
predictions of the delegates or visitors.
It was noticeable during the morning
that the friends of the administration
seemed considerably more serene and con-
fiaent than they did Sunday. Although
they profess that their mood has
not changed whit and that
it is the other people and not themselves
that are worrying. Nevertheless. some
of those who ON Saturday and Sunday
were pressing the view that it was going
to be close and bitter fight, and that in
their private Judgment the president
was not as strong as some of his man
ayers believed, were free to say that q
later view of the situation hardly justi-
fled their previous doubts and fears, and
there was no need or alarm on the part
of the presidents friends, either here or
elsewhere. Very much OF the same tenor
was the talk at the various places where
the Blaine boom has an habitation. The
cause OF Blaine was strong, although no
figures would be given. The Blaine
people have a roster Of the delegates
with the way each man is expected to
vote ON the first ballot and a second
roster showing how the Harrison ad-
herents, or many of them at least,
would be certain to turn when the
proper time comes. They were not
making these documents public property
for the benefit of the opposition, how
ever. II was freely charged that the
Harrison element was making many
statements that were not founded on
fact, and laying claims that would GER
tainly fail to be verified.
