They Show That Cleveland Lacks but
twenty-five Votes
New YORK, June 13.-Up to date the
managers of Senator Hills canvass for the
presidential nomination have not given
out any figures tending to verify their
claim that the senator has more than an
even chance to win at Chicago. One day
last week very prominent leader OF Tam
many said that Hill would have at least
200 votes on first ballot and Cleveland
probably 500. There has been a tally
kept of the preferences of delegates so far
as could be ascertained. A national dele
gate from the midwinter state convention
yesterday canvassed the roll of states care
fully with these resulting totals Total
delegates SOS; necessary TO choice
(two-thirdsl, 500; Cleveland, ASS !;
Hill. 1856; Palmer, 4S; Carlisle, 50 !;
Boies. 26. These results are arrived at by
splitting delegations, but it is believed
most of the states will vote under the unit
rule. If thew do Mr. Hills vote would be
reduced to 2I5 and Cleveland's increased
to 577. or within % of the requisite num-
Der. In this event either the vote of Ken
lucky, Iowa or Illinois would nominate
the ex-president unless South Carolina
and Virginia, whose delegations are
claimed to be equally divided, should cast
their forty-two votes for Hill. The nine
Cleveland men from Connecticut prefer
Hill for second choice. and that is about
the way the Hill managers figure most of
the delegations They feel confident that
if Cleveland does not win in two ballots
his chances are destroyed. Richard Crok-
err Edward Murphy and Lieutenent-GoV-
ernor Sheehan start for Chicago Wednes-
day. On Thursday the delegates leave
and on Friday at least one thousand two
hundred picked braves will take their
departure. Senator Hill was at the Hoff-
man house today holding a protracted
conference with Lieutenant-Governor
Sheehan and Edward Murphy.

If any one has reared children. and
inducted them safely into manhood in
the midst of dangers that multiplied
about them, and the troubles that beset
them, and the temptations that surround
them. and the liabilities to evil that con
tested their way, he must be strangely
insensjbie, in looking back upon s
household, if he be not overwhelmed
with a sense of the multitudinoasness
of Gods mercies. A man may do many
things in the world that are desc wing
of praise. but there are few things that
lie can do more deserving Of praise than,
dying, to leave his name with family
of children who shall more than fill his
place, and who shall maintain virtue
and intelligence and good hal its
throughout their lives.

An Apeedote Of the Emir.

Mr.. Pyne, an English engineer resi-
dent at Cabul, In the service of the emir,
tells good story about his highness
and the Russians. Mr.. Pyne is stated
to have been told it by the emir himself
The Russian governor of Turkestan sent
to the emir saying that it was proposed
to ,Aercise some 500 artillery and cav
airy on the Afghan frontier, and ex-
pressing the hope that it would not give
rise to apprehensions on the part of his
highness. To this his highness replied
that he had no objection, because as it
happened that he was about to exercise
5000 cavalry, artillery and infantry on
his side of the frontier at the same place
and there was plenty of room for both.
The reply to this, after thanking his
highness was that another more con.
venient site had been found for the pro-
posed maneuvers. Times.

Skill in the Wrist,

and delicacy are required. After MAI

is his stroke. 1t is the hardest thing
about billiard playing to get a good
stroke, and sometimes the greatest play

troll of it. Now, the stroke wholly De,
pends on the action of the wrist. Jake
Schaeffer, or any good player, viii make
a shot of seven cushions with less ap-
parent force than beginner will exert

It's the same way with violin playing.

strong wrist movement on the ball as it
leaves the hand. If they didn't it
wouldn't curve at all.-St, Louis Globe

We were camped at the Hot Springs
on the Lo Lo trail, made famous in In
dian annals by the escape of Chief Jo-
seph and his band of Nez Perces. Just
above us was large camp of Flatheads
who were making their fall hunt. One
morning we were awakened by shouts
and cries. Evidently there was great
excitement somewhere, and we promptly
jumped up. 1t was Just after daylight
and cold clouds of steam were rising
from the big basin shaped pool at the
foot of the granite wall. from which
poured thick stream of boiling water.
The pool was so large that at the lower
edge the water was almost cold. The
nearer you approached TO the place
where the water burst from the rock the
better chance you stood of getting boiled.
AT the edge, at point where the water
was of a comfortable temperature, stood
two Indians, one on the bank and the
other on a stone in the water Near by
were dozen other Indians guarding
number of little Indian bows and girls
who had nothing on and We're bowling
and crying.
When we looked out of the tent the
two Indians at the pool had an Indian
boy, one holding him by the feet the
other by the hands, and We're gravely
swinging him backward and forward
through the warm water. while he yelled
at every dip. As soon as they had fin
ished with him he was set upon the bank,
and ran to the willow brush near by.
Then the noise redoubled, for each
child in the group guarded by the In
dians feared that it was his turn. They
all tried to escape to the brush. but their
elders pursued and caught them. unit.
the very last one had been put through
the cleansing process.-New York Sun.

He Had His Coat Repaired.

He was one of the army who are liv.

attenuated income, and one cold morn.
ing he awoke to the realization that the
overcoat would be a necessary part OF
his garb for that day. He looked at it.
Twas unpresentable. He thrust his
hands deep into his pockets, They were
empty. Two direful facts, neither OF
them surprises, faced him, but he was
not annoyed. He proceeded cheerily to
a small tailor's shop and presented the
overcoat for repairs.
SIT will cost you a dollar" SAID
Shears. 1.-The price is no obstacle, pro-
ceed," replied the customer. Shears
turned the coat over to subordinate
and sat down for chat with the heaven
sent customer, for Shears was a Span
lard. And yet he was sufficiently Amer
icanized to produce a deck Of cards and
propose little game of poker. The
heaven-sent assented. Vest buttons
made admirable chips, and the cards
flew for some minutes, until the coat
was repaired. Then the customer paid
his bill in vest buttons, and received
from Shears fifty cents for the remain
ing buttons he had won. Then, equipped
for the inclement weather, he went
forth conscious of the rift in the clouds,
and bought for himself o luxurious fifty

He Is a Happy Boy at Times,


There Is at least one boy In this city
who is overjoyed by the news of every
funeral the services of which are to be
held in the church to which he is at
tached. He is only nine years old and is
a very poor lad, the child of needy
parents. He sings in the church choir,
and whenever the choir is called upon
to sing at funeral he is paid the sum
of one dollar for his service in it. Yes
terday forenoon he rushed home to tell
his mamma that there were to be two
funerals in the afternoon. He laughed
beyond measure as he shouted, ''Good
pews. mani two funeralsp He danced
and was filed with bliss over the pros
pect. He had not sung at funeral for
nearly week, and had been disconso-
late. His mother, too, was happy over
the news, for she needed money and her
husband was out of work. When the
lad returned home with two dollars
after the funerals the household was
cheered up and the family got a good
dinner.-New York Sun.

In the southern part of the desert Of
walls of many years. One of these rare
storms was experienced by only one per-
son. Mr.. Joel Phillips, now of Cornwall,
but then mule owner and copper ore
carrier, who lived in a rancho located
on an insulated rock fifteen feet above
the level of the bottom of a ravine in
which it was situated and distant from
the port of Pau de Azucar about twenty
miles. He had Just arrived at his home
an hour before sunset when u heavy
cloud appeared overhead, causing sud-
den darkness. But he was soon aroused
from superfuous reflection by shower
of hailstones of dangerous dimensions
and followed by a copious downpour of
water, which continued for about eight
hours, accompanied by loud peals of
thunder. His terror was further aroused
by the roar of flowing torrents of water
around his lonely island home, as the
ravine, one-half mile in width, was
now filed to depth of twelve feet
and rolling down continuously thou
sands of huge powders with pulver-
izing, rumbling noise along its bed down
to the sea on each side of him.
Bewildered by the misunderstood oc-
currence and unearthly din created as
the white foaming circle of water insidi-
ously approached within two feet of his
dwelling, and with faint hopes that it
would rise no higher, he ceased reflect
ing, and after enduring hours of indie
scribable mental agony, he fell exhaust
ed into a stupor, dreaming Of second
deluge. From this he was benignantly
aroused by his famished saddle horse de-
vouring the vegetable materials his hut
was constructed with, the animal having
escaped from the stable in the ravine to
the heights above and thence to his mas
ter's home for his usual breakfast. The
storm was over. and the sun was shining
brightly, as if nothing special had hap
pened: the ravine was free of water and
cleared out for another such deluge,
which probably would not again happen
for century or two.-London Engineer.

Modern Education.

With all its novel modern powers and
practical sense am forced to admit that
the purely scientific brain is miserably
mechanical; it seems to have become q
splendid sort of self directed machine,
an incredible automaton, grinding Oh
with its analysis or constructions. But
for pure sentiment, for all that spon-
taneous Greek waywardness of fancy,
for the temperature of passion and the
subtler thrill of ideality, you might as
well look to a wrought iron derrick.
Science found education blundering
peacefully along, cultivating half of the
mind with charming results and letting
the other die of disuse; it worked the
startling miracle of electrifying this
dead half into life and bringing it tc
perfect activity, and straightway, salts
fed with this remarkable achievement,
it proceeded to neglect the ideal half
which the classics had made so much of
and caused it to perish. 1t has substi-
tuted new sort of half man for the old
one.-Clarence King in Forum.

What Bacteria Arc.

Bacteria are simply microscopic plants,
the smallest form of vegetable life In
some instances they are SO small it would
be necessary to place $4,000 of them end
to end in order to make row an inch in
length. They are of widely different
forms, some round, some oval, some flat
or rod shaped. while still another class
are the exact counterparts of small cork
screws.
In all cases they are so minute that
one needs powerful microscope in Or
der to study them, and in no case can
they be perceived simply with the naked
eye. When countless millions are
grouped together they may probably be
seen, but in this case they may be said
to resemble an approaching army, of
which we are totally unable to distin-
guish a single soldier.-St. Louis Re-
puhlic

Wood That Paper Is Made From,

Wood forms the basis of all modern
paper Almost any kind can be used,
but spruce is regarded by manufacturers
as the most serviceable in the long run.
Other kinds which may be used to a
greater or less degree are white pine.
Norway pine, white fir, pitch pine, pop
lar, beech, birch, cypress. tamarack.
sweet gum and hemlock.
The best shape for the wood is in logs
four to ten inches in diameter. free from
knots and used as soon after telling as
possible. The next best form Is in the
shape Of deal ends from sawmills. In
ferior qualities of paper are made from
slabs and edgings of wood.
A great deal depends on the quality of
the wood. If the wood is poor and lack
ing in fiber, then the paper made from
it will be weak and lacking in tough
ness. The wood which can be used for
paper making costs all the way from
$3.50 to $40 cord in the east, and as
low as $3.50 cord in the west.
In Michigan the lowest prices of all
prevail. York Evening Sun.

Plucked the bloom from the bending

Big Field Guns and Their Effect.

If you insist on high velocity you have
to add so much additional machinery to
your gun carriage and have to so greatly
strengthen its construction that you
destroy its mobility. while even if you
gain long range you are still unable to
make use Of your most efficient proiec-
tile at it. Moreover. since the remain
ing velocity Of its shrapnel is a truer
measure of the value of a gun than its
initial velocity. and the two are by no
means directly proportional. it does not
follow that we benefit as much as we
might expect by submitting to these
disadvantages. Thus, the 12-pounder
has an initial velocity of over l ZOO feet
per second and a remaining velocity at
5000 yards of S62 feet; while the
13-pounder, with an initial velocity of
only $50 feet, has at the same range
remaining velocity greater by six feet
per second than that of its rival.
One of our highest authorities on field
artillery has. indeed, recorded his opin-
ion, that, as regards the efficiency of
shrapnel, we gain nothing by the in
creased muzzle velocity of 1.-The best field
gun in Europe" at all practical ranges.
Moreover, it is the attempt to squeeze
out the last few extra feet that does all
the harm.-London Saturday Review.

THE best kind of hospitality is that
which regards the material conveniences

iuncts and aids to friendly intercourse.
