ssIIake a Thneak.v

A demure, plump and delicious blonde,
the petted daughter of a rich South Side
widow, was recently welded to an estima-
BILE young man who fills a high position in
a big Chicago corporation. The fair bride,
in addition to her other charms, is pos
sessed of a dimple in her chin and most
captivating lisp. The wedding was solem-
nized early in the evening" and as the train
which was to take them on a short western
tour did not leave until seven O'Clock the
next morning, it was only natural that the
fond mother asked her new son to pass the
night beneath her hospitable roof especial
ly as it had been arranged for the pair to
make their home with her after their re-
turn. The youth accepted the invitation
cheerfully enough, but his enthusiasm
was dampened somewhat when his
kind mamma-in-laW cordially escort
ed him to the best guest-chamber
and intimated to her daughter
that she might occupy her own room on
the floor above. The bride, however
fingered behind her parent long enough to
bid her husband good night. The tenor of
that young mans observations may be
gathered from his brides response
thereto, which consisted of this remark
"Don't you care, thweatheart wait till
she's athleep and then you can make a
thneak." Of course the story would never
have got out if the young husband had
not considered it too good TO keep, and re-
tailed it in strictest confidence a week or
so afterward to a few intimate crOnies at
his club. But nowadays, the innocent
utterance in his presence of the phrase,
make thneak," is the signal for much
merriment and the jOYial popping of cOrks.

FATHER ORONIN TALKS.
He Would Vote for Blaine Against
CleYeland--He is for German.

WASHINGTON, D. O., June H.-Father
Cronin, of the Catholic Union and Times,
of Buffalo, says of his recent visit:
MY call upon the secretary of state was
purely social. We have been warm per-
sonal friends for quite while. I have
been sojourning in the South and was
making my way back home by easy stages,
and so on reaching Washington nothing
was more natural than that l should pay
Mr.. Blaine a visit. We do not belong to
the same political party; l am democrat,
and therefore the conversation had moth
ing to do with politics.
Fright here l want to repudiate the idea
of there being any such thing as the
"Catholic vote" The Catholics are di-
vided politically and vote as they please.
Now, while 1 am a democrat, don't mind
saying that if the Chicago convention
should nominate Mr.. Cleveland, / would
vote the republican ticket provided Mr..
Blaine was at the head thereof. There is
but one man on the democratic side that
think can beat the Maine man in New
York, and that is Senator German. Mr..
Cleveland couldn't carry the state, in my
opinion, for the feeling between his friends
and those of Mr.. Hill are very bitter. Mr..
German would reconcile the factions, and
under his leadership the party would have
a strong chance of success"

The Terrible Force of the ExpIO-
siOn-HOv Help Came to the Un-
fOrtunates-Su Supposed Cause of
the ExPIOsiOn-Names of Victims.
VALLEJO, GALA, June 14.-One of the
first to get to the scene of yesterdays
frightful disaster was DR.. Lewis of Marine
hospital. Notwithstanding there was now
and then an explosion of shell, he bravely
went into the midst to save life if possible;
but the explosion had finished its work,
and he found but one human being pos
sessed of life, and this body, filled with
pieces of wood and burned and bleeding,
was snatehed from the flames and rushed
to the hospital. There were three maya
zine watchmen named Collins, Burns and
Damstedt on duty in other parts of the
ground, and, although injured, all will
live. Watchman Collins had a narrow
escape. A piece of shell glanced on top of
his head and left an ugly conclusion. It
came from the second explosion. The first
one had left an ugly concussion. The first
one had shaken him almost senseless and
after he was struck he worked for an hour
about the ruins, thinking he might save
some one, then, feeling faint, he went
home, where Drs. Moore and Anderson
found that, besides the scalp wound, he
was injured inside. The body of Gunner
Hittinger was found on the roof of shell
house No. L, having been blown through
the roof of shell house No. 2, which was
afterwards destroyed by fire. Mrs. Nc
Dougall, of the light house, with her
daughters Bessie and Carrie, were
early to assist any of the wounded
men, bringing bandages and doing much
that was necessary at the moment. Drs.
Magruder, Crane, Page, Moore and Lewis,
all of the navy, were on the scene but there
was not much for them to do. The work
of identifying the dead had not been done
at this writing, as energies were all de-
voted to getting remains together and
quenching the fire. Almost the entire
crew of the cruiser Boston, to which ship
the dead and wounded belong, worked
hard in the ruins under the direction of
Lieutenants Blase, Robinson and Hughes.
Had the magazine proper, containing tons
of explosives, exploded, Vallejo would
have been shattered. 1t is a miracle, be-
ing as close as it was, that such did not
occur. One of the apprentices who was
blown into the water and taken on the
beach, pitifully asked OF Uhe surgeons, 'Do
you think we will get over this ?" He then
requested to be laid down, and never
again got up. His companions condition
is equally as bad.
Following is list of the killed.

gates from Hil's mZ,ssinter convention
have kept careful roll Of delegates to the

delegates, 898; necessary to a choice under
two-thirds rule, 399; Cleveland has 453,
Hill 1886, Palmer 48, Carlisle 80, Boise 26.
IT the delegations vote as unit, Cleveland
would have 577, Hill 3I5. In this event
either the vote of Kentucky, Iowa, OF
Illinois would nominate Cleveland, unless
South Carolina cast 62 votes for Hill
The latter is second choice. Many dele
gates and Hill men figure if Cleveland is
not nominated on the first or second bal
lot his chances are destroyed.
