Don't get your Paint on TOO

Tkick.-You may thing this is
strange advice for a man to give who

A building should be well covered

to hold the oil until all the ingredients
dry and harden together.

All eyes and ears have been turned
toward Minneapolis this week to know
who the labor of the Republican con-
vention will bring forth as u Presiden-
tisl candidate, but up to Friday morn
ing no ballot had been taken. 1t was
evidently Blaine's idea to capture the
convention with a big boom by his
resignation as Secretary of State last
Saturday but Harrison's delegates were
held 50 well together that it failed and
1t looks as if Blaine boom is bursted
and that he is done for. On a vote to
test the report of the committee on
credentials which gave q gain of i
votes to Harrison the report was sus-
tanned by 463 to 423 which is claimed
to be about how the Harrison and anti.
Harrison vote stands. This will NOM
mate Harrison by II majority as it
takes only a majority vote to nominate
in the Republican convention. 81 are
claimed to be pledged to him. The
anti. Harrison leaders have little hope
of nominating Blaine but by delay hope
to get q dark horse in Reed or MeKin-
ley who is the chairman of the conven-
tion. The Harrison men are well Or
ganized and determined in their choice
and say Blaine took himself out of the
race by his letter, refusing the use of
his name in February. Owing to the
double dealings of Blaine the popular
mass is for Harrison and numerous tele-
grams al. over the country have been
sent urging his nomination and not
Blaine's. The political wire pullers
are against Harrison and the prospects
are that they will be dumped into the
slough of defeat by Blaine refusing to
let his name go before the convention
TO be defeated.

At ? 90 p m, last week Thursday, rela- tives and neighbors gathered at the resi- dence of the late Mrs Bennett. Rev MT Child, her pastor, conducted the funeral services. He spoke of her consistent life; uniting with the church 64 years ago, she sat under the preaching of all but one of the pastors of this century. Many aged members of the church have gone to join the larger company on the other shore. Last year, he attended 20 funerals; 17 of them aged members of his church. The remains were taken to the cemetery, opposite. The bearers were four of the deacons of the church of which she was member: o. E. Jen- nings, Samuel Morehouse, Andrew Wakeman, Edward Osborne.
 At the time of her death, Mrs Bennett was the oldest person living on the Main street. The oldest person in the village Is Mrs Joseph Osborne, nearly 90 years of age. She Is feeble both in mind and body. She lives at her home at Os- borne's hill.

The children are brought up from the age of four to wor- ship idols, of which he had several with him; also cup and spoon for holy wa. ter, and rosary, by which the children are taught to pray. His costume was the same that he wore in Bombay; consist ing of plain black suit, wide white scarf about three yards in length which he wore about his shoulders outside his coat to designate his rank; his turban was of blue silk, being four yards long and, when unfolded, it was nearly square. He also had with him robe such as the ladies wear. Miss Aida Hawley was asked to assist him in showing how it is worn there. He gracefully and deftly draped it around her and then, turning to the congregation, introduced her as his Hindoo sister from Bombay, which caus- ed broad smile. He spoke in a clear, distinct tone that all might hear and un- derstand and his discourse was very in- teresting.

The sexton standing in the door of the Congregational church received shock, but soon recovered.

 We understand that window is to be made in the recess at the back of the organ of the Congregational church. As there is no ventilator in the roof of the building, the heat has been something dreadful in the hot weather. The glass has been arranged between the church and chapel to turn, but it does not let in enough air. The windows all open over the heads of the congregation and, when the large chandelier is lit, it is all most suffocating. The fine trees that stood around the old church were par tially burnt, when the church was de- stroyed by fire and have been cut down. Others that were out of line have also been cut down. The consequence is that there is no shade to break the di- rect rays of the sun from the roof. Emma Wakeman and sister have gone to Port Jefferson for a week to visit their friend, Libbie Stephens.
