cratic state convention met this afternoon.
A thousand delegates were in attendance.
Hon. Ernest Pillow, strong Cleveland
man, was made temporary chairman. The
mention of Cleveland's name in his speech
OF acceptance was rapturously cheered.
Ex-Governor Porter set the Cleveland ball

structing the delegates to Chi

for him. This was received with wild ap-
plause and referred to the committee on

IN THE HOUSE.
Democrats Refuse . Suficient Appro-
priation to Enforce Exclusion Act.

pr1ation To EnfOrce Exclusion Act.
WASHINGTON CRY, May 26.-The House
went into committee of the whole on the
snndry civil bill, the pending question be-
ing Sunday closing of the Worlds fair.
After various amendments and substitutes
looking to the exclusion of the sale of
liquor on the grounds. exhibitions of nude
or partially nude pictures or stasuary, or
allowing games of chance or lotteries
within a mile of the fair grounds, or the
sale of cards, dice, ETC., had been lost, the
following was adopted: provided. that
the government exhibit of the Worlds
Columbian exposition shall not be open to
the public on Sunday"
The committee then proceeded to the
consideration of the clause appropriating
$4,000 for the enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion act. the substitute offered by
Loud of California. being the pending
substitute. 1t appropriates $3.50, 900 to pre-
vent the unlawful entry of Chinese, for
the registration of Chinese now in the
United States, and for the expenses of re-
turning to China all Chinese persons
found unlawfully in the United States.
Bowers of California said the Democratic
party could not deceive the people of the
Pacific coast by passing a stringent ex-
ate money to carry it into effect. This
action would show the people that al
though the Democrats were in favor of
stringent law, they opposed its enforce
ment. Holman of Indiana in opposing
the substitute, stated that the estimates
for this service were only 10000. Hen
derson of Iowa reminded the gentleman
that the sundry civil service bill
had been reported to the House
on Nav and stringent double-barreled
exclusion bill had been passed three days
afterwards; that was the reason why an
appropriation for carrying the act into
effect was not included in the estimates.
Geary said that when the Chinese bill
passed the House many Republicans
found it convenient to be absent. They
could not fool the people of California as
to the position of their party by getting up
and pretending a desire for large appro-
priations. The Loud substitute was re-
jected. On motion of Holman the appro-
pration was then increased to $50. 600.
On motion of Martin of Indiana an
appropriation of 1000 was made for COM
missary quarters at the Marion soldiers
home. An amendment by Sayers led up
TO discussion Of the police methods of
John /. Davenport in New York city
elections. He was attacked by some
Democrats and defended by Republicans.
Without action the committee rose and
the House ad journed.

Petition for Quarantine Against SMALL

pOx Cannot Be Granted.
PoRr TOWNSEND, May 26.-TSpecial. l.
The puget Sound board of health and
Collector Wasson have been petitioned by
the citizens of Whatcom and other towns
along the British frontier, asking the
establishment of the quarantine stations
to prevent the introduction of smallpox.
They received the following telegram from
Whatcom today:
Asatic smallpox exists in Vancouver and
New Westminster, which cities have daily rail
way communication through Whatcom to all
cities ON the sound and no quarantine regu-
lations have been inaugurated for the p-otec-
ton of our citiz ms, the pubic safety demands
that immediate steps be taken to have all trains
examined by a competent health officer sta
toned at Blaine and Sumas. Authority should
be given to detain in quarantine all persons who
have come from the stricken district. Immediate
action is necessary. Can you help US? Delay
is dangerous. Answer. W. l. MILLER, Mayor
Wasson replied that the health board
would convene tomorrow to take action
After an informal investigation today the
members of the board were about con-
vinced that they were powerless to act, in
as much as no provision had been made by
state laws for detention of carriers other
than vessels. They say they have no
authority to stop trains and quarantine
passengers. Collector Wasson is positive
that he is unable to establish quarantine
service on land. From the present out
look no relief can be offered by the col
lector or the health board to Whatcom
county cities.
DR.. Conover, government health officer,
will investigate the case and possibly the
government may take some action.

When Tea Is Wicked.

Here is an extract from an interesting
lecture delivered by Sir Andrew Clark the
other day to the students of the London
hospital:
Tea is a blessed beverage. / do not
know what / should do without it. But
there is tea and tea; and one of the teas
which have in my mind is the representa-
ton of all that is physiologically wicked.
/ go about town a good deal holding con-
SITUATIONS here and there, and about 5
o'clock, when get into place, the lady of
the house will say to me, ''Sir Andrew, you
look so tired, do let me give you cup of
tea" say, Thank you very much" But
the tea has stood for half an hour; and she
remarks, Il know you do not like it strong,
Sir Andrew" and then she puts about
tablespoonful of tea into the cup and fills it
up with water
Now, / call it positive cruelty to give
tea like that to anybody, and l hope you
gentlemen will always set your face against
such a beverage. Tea TO be useful should
be, first of all, black China tea-the Indian
tea which is being cultivated has become
so powerful in its effects upon the nervous
system that cup of it taken early in the
morning, as many people do, so disorders
the nervous system that those who take it
actually get into n state of tea intoXica-
tion, and it produces a form of nerve dis
turhance which is most painful 10 witness.
If you want TO have, either for yourselves
or for your patients, tea which will not in
jure and which will refresh, get black
China tea putting in the right measure
the old fashioned teaspoonful for each per-
son and ore for the blessed pot. Then pour
ON briskly boiling water, and within FIVE
minutes you must pour 1t off again, or i6
will become wicked instead OF good.-Psu

One Form of Marriage Ceremony.

The following is a southwestern Mis-
souri, form of marriage ceremony: by
the authority vested in me as squire in
the state of Missouri by the golden fields
of corn and wheat that wave to and from
the gentle summer breeze; by the great
droves of stock that are continually find
ing their way to the different markets of
the world; by the monotonous song Of
the cat on the backyard fence, and by
the pumpkin vine whose climbing ten
drills shade the entrance of summer
kitchen; by the whole earth and sea and
all that is in them, pronounce You man
and wife, and may the Lord have mercy
on your souls. Yankee Blade.

AN AVERAGE MAN.

A realistic story
Without any gush or glory,
With no sentimental hmeGght
And no frework display,
Bout poor old ignoramus
Who was never rich nor famous,
And who couldn't ignite the river,
And who worked out by the day.
A very common fellow
Was this Ebenezer Weller,
With the usual share of virtues.
And with vices two or three;
He'd no fatal gift of beauty,
But an average sense of duty,
Neither very good nor evil
Just about Like you and me.
And he wed an average woman,
Very nice and very human,
Just about like Ebenezer,
Neither very good nor bad;
Oft in harmony they'd MARBLE,
Often they would scold and squabble,
But they loved each other dearly,
And they couldn't continue mad.
Never had enough On Monday
To supply the house till Sunday,
Never made enough in April
To support themselves in May;
If they worked hard in November,
They must work hard in December,
And the coarse bread of tomorrow
Was the hard work of today.
They worked on, grew gray and grayer,
Yet they never made him mayor,
And she plucked no social honors,
And his wages still were small.
Then the load of years grew weighty,
And they died when they were eighty.
And they put them in the graveyard,
And they left them there. That's all.
A realistic story
Without any gush or glory
Yet this fellow Ebenezer
Represents the human clan;
His the average share of pleasure,
His the average lack of leisure,
His the average joy and sorrow
OF the common average man.
Sam Walter Foss in Yankee Blade.
