Full Detailed Report of the Demo-

\ Strong Platform Dealing with Local
Governmental Abuses Adopted.
Refugio Bilderrain Nominated
FOR Assessor by Acclamation.

1t is safe to say that the Democratic
city convention which was convened al
Turnverein hall yesterday morning wat
undoubtedly one Of the liveliest politi'
cal gatherings that has ever been seen
in Los Angeles. Three sessions were
held during the day, and at no time did
the delegates evidence any manifesto
tions of listlessness.
OF course the one question that over.
shadowed all others was as to who the
nominee for mayor should be. There
were four candidates in the field. The
Hrst test Of strength by which any esti-
mate could be cleaned as to how many
delegates the quartet OF candidates for
the mayoralty had behind them was on
the vote for temporary chairman.
The Rowan men nominated Hon. T.
B. Brown, while the opposition candi-
dates put up Judge A. M. Stephens. The
result was that Mr.. Brown received 1O7
votes to 121 votes for Judge Stephens.
This test vote. for it was taken as such,
gave the Workman and the Mackay del
egates great hope. But, later, that hope
was to be dashed to the ground.
The next struggle in the conv ntion
was over resolution to endorse the
water bond proposition. to be voted on
November I'd. There was at first consid-
erable opposition to the resolution, but
it was finally carried.
Then came the balloting for mayor,
and it surely was balloting in earnest
There were some lively and interesting
scenes on the floor of the convention
during every ballot. A great deal OF
unnecessary confusion was created by
the over-zealous friends of the several
candidates.
1t took three ballots to bring about
the nomination OF Mr.. Rowan, but when
it was accomplished it created unmeas-
ured enthusiasm.
The nominations for the other Offices
were made without any difficulty. There
seemed to be practical unanimity, and it
is certain that satisfactory nominations
were made in every instance.
Below is detailed report of what
transpired at Turnverein hall curing the
day and evening.

The Care OF House Plants.

GENERAL IIINrs.-I is bad policy, es-
pecially for beginners, to start the season
with too large collection. Begin with
easily grown plants, and proceed to more
fastidious ones By degrees. 1t is a mistake
to crowd the space for plants unduly. Let
each specimen stand nearly or quite clear
from all others, even if it be at the cost of
throwing out some plants. Half dozen
fine, vigorous. uncrowded plants are much
more satisfactory than three times as many
crowded, and, as a consequence, ill-shaped
and unhealthy ones.
WArERISG-No detail of house, plant
management is more important than that
of watering. If you cannot appreciate this,
visit the commercial plant-growers houses.
amt see the trouble taken there to provide
Just the right amount of water to each
plant. In the first place, the plantsman
sees to it that every plant in his charge has
drainage provided in the pot, so that any
excess of water can quickly escape. Then
he watches his collection hourly, and at the
first signs of dryness among the plants
down comes a shower from his hose or pot,
lie applies water with bold dash-that is,
when plant needs water at all, he gives it
enough to saturate the soil thoroughly.
These are points which the amateur should
also observe. The very keystone of sue
cess lies in judicious watering.
NorRIsHMESr.-Att the beginning of the
season. be sure that each plant has suit
able soil. If the stock comes from an in
tellgent florist, he will see to this but
every amateur plant-grower should have on
hand supply of potting mold, for use
when plants are lifted from the garden, and
in case reporting is needed. This mold
MAY be had for small price from regular
plant-growers. In buying it, be sure to ask
for the best article obtainable.
In addition to good soil, some stimnlant
will be needed for the plants. Liquid ma
uure, used in diluted form. so as to have
the color of weak tea, and any of the con-
centrated plant foods are useful; growers
of market plants bring large and beautiful
specimens to tile Towering stage without
reporting. Liquid manure Tay he applied
in place of pure water the concentrated
fertilizers can be busted on the surface of
the soil, and their strength will be carried
down to the plants roots by the water.
Both stimulants must not be given at the
same time.
Observation-Disclosures, as rule, repot
too often, and keep their plants in too large
pots. 1t is of no use to give plant fresh
soil before its roots have pretty well Occu-
pied the old. There is proper time to
repot, and that is when the ball of earth is
well Surrounded by roots, a state that can
be determined by tipping the plant out of
the pot
PArlEScE.-One can expect no real sue
cess with window plants by htphazard
Of hua inR
excess of care. now neglecting them. 1t is
the constant, daily Attendance upon their
wants that insures success. The best plant
grower is sure to be one who has the capac
ity for observing minute details in plant
requirements, doiag all that is necessary
for them, and doing no more.

The practice of the wife ASSUMING the
husbands name at marriage. according
to DIR. Brewer, originated from Roman
custom and became the common custom
after the Roman occupation. Thus
Julia and Octavia, married to Pomrey
and Cicero. were called by the Romans
Julia of Pompey, Octavia of Cicero, and
in latter times married women in most
European countries signed their names
in the same manner. but omitted the
"of." Against this view may be men,
toned that during the Sixteenth and
even at the beginning of the Seven
tenth century the usage seems doubt
full, since we find Catharine Parr so
signing herself after she had been twice
married. and we always hear of Lady
Jane Gray mot Dudley, Arabella Stuart
mot SEYMOUR. etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from tine Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
- Braeton died 126s), and it was de-
cided in the case Of Bon versus Smith
in the reign of Elizabeth, that woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus-
band. Altogether. the custom is in
volved i'll much obscurity. - Buffalo
