Silver Convention.

The silver mass convention con-
vened in Masonic Hall Saturday
afternoon at 1:30. The meeting
organized by electing J. NJ. Nc
Call chairman, and A. 2. Hibbs
secretary. A committee was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions, and
reported the following which were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The greater portion
of the silver of the worlds mined
in the United States; it gives en-
ployment to thousands of hardy
industrious citizens and is one OF
the great natural resources OF
wealth peculiar to the United
States, and
Whereas, The demonetizing of
silver in 1893 was a crime that
can never be expatiated except in
its complete rehabilitation, and
whereas the Sherman law WAS
never favored by the advocates of
free silver coinage, ard though a
bad law it may be, it is all that
remains that prevents gold stand
ard men from accomplishing their
selfish purpose, and must be re-
tanned until something better is by
the great body of wealth produc-
ers, by and through their repre-
ientatives placed in Its stead.
Resolved, That we condemn any
policy that permits foreign inhu-
encss in our financial legislation,
and that we insist upon an uu-
qualified release from each and all
the great money kings of Europe
Resolved, That it is the duty of
all senators and congressman of
Missouri in the matter of silver as
in all other matters pertaining to
their official duties, to regard the
will aud interests of the people al
though in so doing they should be
under the necessity of disregard
ing the wishes of party leaders
and the President.
Resolved, That we admire the
frank, bold and fearless manner
in which Hon. Il. p. Bland of this
state exposehed theconspiracy by
which silver was demonatized ana
In outlining the best policy to be
pursued in the interest of the peo-
pie in an interview as published
in the st. Louis Chronicle of Sun
day, July 23d, 1898, and that we,
impose the greatest confidence

ship would recommend his course
as expressed on the silver ques-
tion as worthy to be followed by
his associates in the nations legis-
lative halls.
We also endorse the ideas as
expressed by representative Hatch |

on Aug. 3rd. and published in the

this time muat injare those of our
countrynen who labor, and who
because OF their number and con-

watchful care of the Government.
1t is of the most Importance
that such relief as Congress can
afford in the existing situation be
afforded at once. TIE maxim,
"He gives twice whogives quick
Iy," is directly applicable. 1t
may be true the emharrassments
from which the business of the
country is suffering arise as much
from evils apprehended as from
those actually existing We may
hope, too, that calm counseis will
prevail. aud tnat neither the capl-
talists nor the wage earners will
give way to an unreasoning panic,
and sacrifice their property or
their interests under the influence
OF exaggerated fears.
Nevertheless, every days delay
in the remedy snlarges the mis-
chief and increases the response
bility of the Government for its
existence. Whatever else the
people have a right to expect from
Congress, they may certainly de-
mand that legislation condemned

1t wes my purpose to summon
Congress in session early in Sep

of the country clearly demand,
which so large a majority OF the

tariff reform has lost nothing of

the financial condition shouid at

earnestly recommend the
prompt repeal Of the provisions
of the act passed July x, 1890,

INSECTS OF THE FOOTHILLS.

Insect life in the Fresno foothills revels and
sNarms the year around, veritable para
disc fer the entomologst.
Once my long table in the arbor appeared
to be alive. Upon nearing it the most
laughable spectacle presented ITSELF Pac-
ing to and fro was a multitude of blue
gray pigmy insects with four legs, the
front pair as long as the tiny body, which
made them stand upright, and gave the
idea that they were walking on two legs
like mammoth man. These insects were
the mantis, which inhabt the buckeye and
mimic the color of its bark. The poles of
my arbor were buckeye, and its parasites
had populated my table.
In summer the surface of the earth was
covered with fanciful lines terminating in a
shallow, sandy cencaTity, Its circle at the
top not exceeding that OF number FIVE
thimble. Explorations discovered under
the apex of the cOncaviiy diminutve In
sect-the color and size of SOW bug, with
hump back the shape of turtle. The con-
cavities were ant traps, and always ex-
cavated in ant trails. When an ant tum-
bled in over the sandy side, 1t was almost
impossible TO get out. The height to scale
was not so great, but being sandy Its efforts

MR.. NEELY OF TEXAS.
He Says He Purchased Brick in New
York for $4,000.
Galveston Daily New:


This morning an old man appeared at the
81. James Hotel, in Dallas. and secured a
room. He asked the night clerk who showed
him ND for hammer, saying that he wanted
TO open a box. The clerk procured ham,
mer for him and asked him if he wished his
box opened He thanked the clerk for his
rendered services. but preferred, he said. to
open the box himself The clerk returned
to his duties, soon forgetting the stranger,
who had registered as ID. Nicely. Bridgeport,
Tex. In about ten minutes after The clerk
had left him the old man came running
downstairs. He rushed up to the clerk and
exclaimed in a loud voice, I've been robbed
sir; I've been robbed"
Tie clerk thinking that perhaps some
sharper had swinded the old man out of
SO or SIS. and that he had just counted his
money and discovered his loss, asked, "Of
how much have you been robbed 2"

"Where did you get the money!

What have you done with the brick you
found in the box?'
II threw it out the window"
In the afternoon a reporter talked to the
ola man. Ha had received some circulars
and went to New York to buy money. He
said, with many stops "a man took me
around and around through place and
then into little door. He was man with
gray hair aud had black mustaehe He
was as sharp as a briar. There was a red

A seal has a pretty good appetite. Its
ordinary allowance Of food is forty pounds

SEALS AND THEIR WAYS.

So much has been said and written con-
troyersslly about seals, whether as 10 their
destroying fish at the Golden Gate or being
rational property in Boring Sea that it is
pleasant diversion to look al them in some
other way.
l am often amused in watching the
changes on the faces of visitors to the Cliff
House as they sit out on the balcony and
watch the seals on a clear day. 1t is good
20 see them there, for the more interest
people take in the animals and the less in
money and dress the better il will be for
them here and hereafter; the better in mind
and the better ~ heart.
Lave you ever watched those seals an

Most people who 60 out TO see the seals at
the Cliff House are content To call them

they are not wolves; but very few know

For the palms hid the lamps at the side,
And each fern was outlined on the floor below, y
While the shadows were spread FAR and wide.
But the shadows were misty-a softened gray
In accord with the SLOW melody.
The light of the fire drove the dark lines away,
While Ii lent all a sweet mystery.
Both dancers were courtly and figures OF grace,
Y CT the maid held my fancy alone;
The glow gave blush to her beautiful face;
In her dark eyes fatrer tight shOne
And then, as she curtesied, so stately. so slow,
With the grace of an age that is past,

Like dream that knew could not last.
So stately. so slow. each step that she made.
And so graceful the mead thst she bent:
The ol d-fas1ioned fan that at times cast shade,
Such an air Of true elegance lent:
The place OF the dance gave place to my thought,
And dreamed of the days that dead
The spell OF the dance was by sorcery wrought,
Aud the hurryt1g modern days fed.
1t was peace-the sweet rest of the oIden day,
When all idols were not overthrown:
When romance still lived, and as king, Love held
sway.
Before Mammon TO ruler had grown.
And all those who watched were bewitched by the
dance,
And they dreamed TIL the measure was Ger
To-day was forgot in the short backward glance
And the charms of the day gone before.

A STRANGE CASE.
Queer Conduct of Bride and Groom
That Were to Be.


Andrew Parker and Mary Soldier OF Brad
dock were to have been married at noon
yesterday at ST. MichaePs Catholic Church.
The building was filled with friends and
relatives, and the Rex. Raymond Weider
stood at the altar with the contracting par
ties aud their attendants. ready to begin the
ceremony.
Suddenly the assemblage was startled to
see the bride step backward and refuse to
take part in the ceremony, and while they
yet wondered the to-be-b bride, without
Offering any explanation, turned and made
her way alone to the basement Of the
church, where she took off her wedding gown
anu veil and attired herself in street
costume she had provided. As she came
out of the basement, smiling, il appeared
to be triumphantly. aud made her way
down the steps to the street, she was fol-
lowed by Parker. He stopped her and In
formed her that he had paid 81 80 for a
marriage license, aud now that he was not
TO get the benefit of the license he proposed
TO get the ST so. With low courtesy Miss
Seider pulled out her purse and handed him
a So gold piece and told him 10 take his
ST so out of ii. Parker put the gold piece in
his pocket. Miss Seidler persisted in her
demand for SO 80 change and people began
to gather around. Parker. losing control of
himself, struck the young woman In the
face and on the breast several times, aud
then hastily made his way through the
crowd and disappeared.
1t is supposed by many that Miss Seidler
did as she did for the express purpose of
notifying Parker. The pair first met
about fifteen months ago and have been en-
gagged for about four months
